Chapter 820: Chapter 818: No Need to Be Polite

At this moment, Lu Tingli was both pained and self-blaming, annoyed, and furious, wishing he could tear the assassin into a thousand pieces, then whip the corpse, and finally feed it to the dogs.

"Quick, let me see your wound," the man urgently said, foregoing all manners as he started feeling around on her body.

Accidentally, he touched where he shouldn’t have.

Soft, and bulging.

He inevitably stiffened, subconsciously lifting his gaze to look at her.

The girl’s face flushed with shame and anger, her stunningly gorgeous face utterly darkened, teeth gritted as she glared fiercely at his wandering hand.

"Lu Tingli!" she growled lowly, like a fierce little wolf cub.

"Sorry," Lu Tingli quickly retracted his hand, but he was still worried about her: "Hurry and tell me, where exactly are you hurt?"

As Xia Ningxing was lighting the candle, she nonchalantly told him: "I’m not injured and there was no assassin."

"Still being stubborn about being unhurt, look at all the blood on you..." As the dim candlelight slowly brightened, Lu Tingli saw that the back of Xia Ningxing’s pajamas were covered in blood.

Large patches of blood.

It was like the blood that had gushed out when his mother passed away.

Lu Tingli became both panicked and terrified, almost feeling a suffocating choke enveloping him tightly, pushing him to the brink of collapse.

His eyes nearly instantly turned red, his fingers tightly clutching her hand, almost breaking her bones: "Xia Ningxing, I absolutely won’t allow anything to happen to you, absolutely not! Hang on, I will personally fetch the Imperial Physician to take care of you!"

He warned loudly!

Back then, when his mother died, he was young and helpless, he could only watch as she faded away, but it’s different now.

He must protect her.

This girl, besides his mother, was the only one who ever gave him warmth.

Perhaps those trivial matters might seem insignificant in her eyes, she might even show such concern for a cat or a dog, but to him, it’s a huge deal, something he will remember for a lifetime, forever unforgettable!

In his heart, she is no longer someone unimportant, but very significant, hence he cannot let anything happen to her.

"Don’t go!" Xia Ningxing couldn’t let him actually summon the Imperial Physician for such a reason, so she exerted all her strength to hold him back.

But the man acted as if he had gone mad, appearing completely deaf to her voice.

A complex feeling surged from the bottom of Xia Ningxing’s heart; she found him foolish yet endearing.

Her heart trembling slightly, she loudly said to him:

"Lu Tingli, calm down, I’m really fine, I’ve just got my period, uh, menstruation, you understand, it’s something every woman goes through monthly." By the end of her explanation, Xia Ningxing’s voice grew softer and her face redder, wishing she could just find a hole and crawl into it.

Gosh, why did she have to explain such a private matter to a man she barely knew.

Menstruation?

Lu Tingli, struck as if by lightning, froze on the spot, his face looking as colorful as a palette.

Though never indulgent in sensual pleasures, he still heard about women bleeding monthly, yet he’d never truly seen what menstruation looked like. So, when he saw so much blood on her, he thought something serious had happened.

"It’s good that nothing’s wrong," Lu Tingli said awkwardly, coughing and turning around, hardly daring to look her in the eye.

Xia Ningxing, both helpless and amused: "Of course, it’s okay, I’ll just go handle it."

Speaking, Xia Ningxing then went to the inner room.

The maids had guessed that she might start her period soon as she was not young anymore, so they had prepared several sanitary towels for her.

After Xia Ningxing cleaned herself, she put on the sanitary towel.

The sanitary towel was made of high-quality absorbent cotton cloth, with premium cotton inside and a waterproof layer on the outside to prevent any leaks, working much like the sanitary napkins of modern times.

"Are you done?"

Seeing her come out, the man immediately lifted his eyes, his narrow, long eyes fixated on her.

Xia Ningxing’s face turned slightly red, nodding her head: "Yes, it’s done."

"I had the servants prepare some soup to nourish and replenish your blood, it still needs some time to be ready. Come here, drink this bowl of brown sugar water first. I’ve heard that brown sugar is best for women at this time, so I prepared some for you," Lu Tingli said slowly.

Xia Ningxing paused as she took the brown sugar water, looking up at him in surprise, incredulously questioning: "Prince, you mean to say you personally made this brown sugar water for me?"

He was the exalted Prince, even though he had a rough childhood, times have changed, and now he is a Prince attended to by countless people, living a life of luxury, how could he possibly do such a thing for her?

Lu Tingli nodded: "Yes, it was me. What about it?"

He countered.

"Nothing..."

She said nonchalantly, but only Xia Ningxing knew the feeling of warmth and emotion swirling quietly in her chest once again.

In this world, apart from Tuanzi, only he had cared for her.

Even though, he might have some ulterior motives.

But she still felt moved and warmed.

Someone who has never been cared for, even a little bit of warmth can make them incredibly thankful.

In some ways, they were similar.

This bowl of brown sugar water was especially sweet, as if it could sweeten one’s heart, much like a coat on a snowy day.

Xia Ningxing’s lips curved into a faint smile as she placed the bowl on the table.

"Thank you, Prince."

Lu Tingli huffed lightly, seemingly unsatisfied with her politeness: "There’s no need for politeness between us!"

His tone was a bit flirtatious, as if implying a close relationship between them.

Xia Ningxing lowered her eyes, fiddling with her fingers, pretending she didn’t hear.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Tingli suddenly felt a sense of loss, even though he himself didn’t know where this feeling came from or why.

He was silent for a few seconds, then spoke again: "It’s getting late, continue to rest. Considering your condition, I’ll let you have the bed these days."

Saying so, Lu Tingli gentlemanly walked towards the small couch where she had previously lain.

Xia Ningxing frowned: "So you are going to sleep on the couch?"

Hadn’t he previously found the couch uncomfortable?

"Otherwise, where?" Lu Tingli raised his eyebrows in response, then added: "If you want me to sleep with you, I’m not opposed to the idea either."

He suddenly leaned in close, his breath warm as he spoke, enveloping her in warmth.

"Scram!"

Xia Ningxing huffily threw a word at him, then monopolized the bed and turned her head to sleep.
