Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Good to Have You Here_1

"Put your clothes on before you go!" Xia Ningxing hurriedly called out, afraid he would catch a cold again.

"No need."

But Lu Tingli didn’t care about getting dressed, he hastily grabbed the medicine and filled a hot water bottle.

After she took the medicine, Lu Tingli placed the hot water bottle on her lower abdomen and covered it with his large hand to keep it from falling off.

Only after all this did Xia Ningxing feel the pain in her belly subside.

"Lu, I’m so glad you’re here, otherwise I’d really be suffering," she tilted her head to look at the man beside her: "But... how come you were sleeping here?"

"There’s no heating here, I was afraid you’d get cold," Lu Tingli said calmly, as if stating a just cause.

Xia Ningxing glanced at him and deliberately drew out her words: "Oh... So that’s why... Well, I really have to thank you for that!"

"It’s getting late, go to sleep," Lu Tingli, who could not miss the teasing in the girl’s voice, immediately placed his large hand over her eyes.

Xia Ningxing was truly tired and soon fell asleep again.

When she woke up, Lu Tingli was no longer by her side.

But the hot water bottle on her stomach was still warm, presumably he had replaced it with a new one.

Xia Ningxing stared at the hot water bottle, her red lips pursed slightly, and her heart instantly filled with sweetness as if she had eaten honey.

She got out of bed, freshened up, and then saw Lu Tingli had cooked some red dates and silver fungus soup for her.

Warmth filled his eyes: "I heard this soup is very nourishing."

Xia Ningxing looked at the thick soup, guessing it could not have been made in less than two hours.

She looked up at the man in front of her, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

"Lu! I won’t be able to leave you if you keep doing this!" Her throat tightened, as if stuffed with cotton.

He would be dead in a few years. If she got used to his kindness, what would she do then?

"What, you still want to leave me?" Lu Tingli’s voice suddenly turned dangerous, and he pulled her tightly into his embrace. Dark glints flashed in his black eyes as his fingers involuntarily tightened.

Seeing his misunderstanding, Xia Ningxing quickly shook her head: "That’s not what I meant!"

Lu Tingli’s expression eased a bit. His clean, slender fingers cupped her face and he spoke word by word earnestly: "Baby Xing, don’t leave me!"

"Don’t worry, I will never leave!" Xia Ningxing assured again.

She couldn’t possibly leave him before getting the inheritance!

And even if she got it, she wouldn’t leave him. It’s just that he would leave her first.

Because he could only live until he was thirty.

"Good girl!" Lu Tingli once again lifted his long arms, holding the petite girl in his arms, his deep and magnetic voice spilling into her ear: "I’m going to the lab now."

"I’ll walk you out," Xia Ningxing held his warm, dry hand, walking beside him.

Tall and short, handsome and beautiful, they were quite a match.

Xia Ningxing was one meter sixty-five, a perfect height, not too tall nor too short, ideally suited for pairing with various male stars in the future, with a potentially broad acting range.

Lu Tingli, on the other hand, was over one meter eighty-five. Xia Ningxing, who seemed pretty tall among girls, suddenly looked like a little cat in front of the tall, imposing man.

When they went outside, Xia Ningxing saw groups of sisters-in-law from the family compound sitting under the trees, knitting sweaters and chatting about daily life, with several children running around and playing.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she always felt that these sisters-in-law’s glances at her were not very friendly, even tinged with disdain and contempt.
