Chapter 38

Pretend not to see it? That was impossible, Qin Muye was her man.

The next second, Jiang Muning directly strode towards them.

“Captain Qin…”

Gu Manli’s words hadn’t finished when Jiang Muning interrupted: “Is it a bad time for me to come?”

Hearing the voice, Qin Muye turned his head and saw Jiang Muning standing behind him.

“Why are you here?” Qin Muye was surprised, he asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Muning said sourly: “It’s not a good time for me to appear, I’m interrupting Captain Qin and Doctor Gu’s conversation.”

Hearing her call him Captain Qin, Qin Muye immediately felt her displeasure.

Thinking about her words, Qin Muye explained: “It’s not a conversation, I was just asking Doctor Gu about something.”

Gu Manli had a warm smile, her eyes were soft as she said: “Yes, Comrade Jiang, we were just discussing something.”

Looking at the tea-like Gu Manli, Jiang Muning felt that she had been blind before, she had actually thought that Gu Manli was dedicated to her feelings, but she was also a person who was clear about the world, she would let go if she didn’t love someone.

Looking at it now, it was probably because she had accumulated enough disappointment and knew that it was really hopeless, so she had to give up.

Jiang Muning replied coldly: “Then I won’t bother you.”

As she spoke, Jiang Muning turned around and was about to leave, Qin Muye quickly grabbed her arm.

“Let go.” Jiang Muning’s eyebrows furrowed, her stomach was uncomfortably stuffy, her anger sounded soft.

Qin Muye didn’t understand, but he felt that Jiang Muning was unhappy, even a little angry.

“What are you doing?”

“Of course I’m leaving, so as not to delay Captain Qin and Comrade Gu’s love affair.” Jiang Muning’s beautiful eyes glared at him, as if accusing him of his crime.

Gu Manli’s face flushed red, she lowered her eyes shyly.

Qin Muye frowned: “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Whether it’s nonsense, you know in your heart.” Jiang Muning’s lower abdomen was uncomfortable, she glared at him angrily.

“I was asking Doctor Gu how to treat dysmenorrhea.” Qin Muye answered truthfully.

Huh? Jiang Muning’s struggling movements stopped: “Really?”

“Yeah.” Qin Muye answered affirmatively.

After borrowing the money, he was thinking about giving Jiang Muning a good meal to replenish her body.

But then he thought, dysmenorrhea was probably a disease, it was more important to treat the disease. So, after finishing his task in the afternoon, he went to find her and learn how to treat it.

Jiang Muning’s expression was embarrassed, she realized that she had misunderstood Qin Muye, she felt a little embarrassed.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier.” Jiang Muning was flustered.

“You didn’t ask.”

Thinking about how she had directly judged him and didn’t even give him a chance to explain.

Seeing Jiang Muning’s reaction, Gu Manli’s heart skipped a beat, Qin Muye had been asking about period pain and dysmenorrhea for a long time, she had even answered enthusiastically, she hadn’t realized at all that it was for Jiang Muning, this country bumpkin.

After all, she had always thought that Qin Muye had been forced to marry Jiang Muning, it was impossible for him to come and ask about treating dysmenorrhea for her.

Qin Muye looked at her pale face, then saw the wind that had risen in the evening, his expression was serious: “Go back.”

Thinking that he was angry because he had been misunderstood, Jiang Muning pouted her lips and turned to walk back.

“Doctor Gu, please bring the medicine you mentioned that can treat dysmenorrhea tomorrow, I’ll pay you when the time comes.” Qin Muye said calmly.

Gu Manli smiled faintly: “No need, we’re all friends, don’t be so polite.”

“We’re all comrades-in-arms, we need to be a little more polite, I can’t take advantage of you.” Qin Muye finished speaking quickly, then chased after Jiang Muning.

Gu Manli looked at his back, she couldn’t tell what she felt.

“Captain Qin is so fierce to that woman, how could he possibly like her? Captain Qin is so responsible, he must just be taking care of her because he married her, that must be it.” Gu Manli muttered to herself, constantly convincing herself.

Back home, Jiang Muning had a heating pad on her lower back and a hot water bottle that Qin Muye had just bought on her abdomen.

After taking a shower, in the bathroom, Jiang Muning bent over, preparing to wash her underwear, but she was grabbed by the hand.

Jiang Muning curiously turned her head, she asked in puzzlement: “What?”

“I’ll wash it.” Qin Muye said concisely.

Jiang Muning blushed: “I’ll wash my underwear these past few days, it’s stained with period blood.”

The sanitary pad would leak, she was embarrassed to let him wash it.

“Can’t touch water.” Qin Muye said in a low voice, he directly took her underwear, rubbed soap on it and started to scrub, not caring about the dirt on it.

Jiang Muning’s heart was filled with ripples, even in modern times, men wouldn’t be willing to wash their wives’ underwear that was stained with period blood, they would all think it was unlucky.

“Go back to the room and lie down.” Qin Muye ordered again.

Jiang Muning smiled brightly: “Okay.”

Seeing her smile, Qin Muye quickly looked away and continued his cleaning work.

Gu Manli said that women should avoid touching water during their period, lest the cold invade, he would strictly follow her instructions.

After washing the clothes, Qin Muye went to cook brown sugar water. He was busy in the kitchen for a long time before returning to the room.

Jiang Muning was lying in bed, she looked at the brown sugar water in his hand.

“Drink it.” Qin Muye’s words were always simple and straightforward.

Jiang Muning took the brown sugar water and drank it slowly.

“How many days did it usually hurt?” Qin Muye asked in a low voice.

Jiang Muning thought for a moment: “It would usually hurt for two days, but I’m feeling much better tonight than I was during the day.”

Maybe it was because she had been drinking brown sugar water, warming her stomach, and lying in bed, her dysmenorrhea wasn’t as severe as before.

Hearing the answer, Qin Muye felt relieved: “Move out a little.”

She blinked her watery eyes, Jiang Muning looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Qin Muye didn’t speak, he just looked at her. Seeing this, Jiang Muning shifted her hips.

Seeing her move out a little, Qin Muye reached into the blanket and placed his hand on the hot water bottle.

This guy wants to warm his hands? Jiang Muning was about to complain when she saw Qin Muye take away the hot water bottle, then he lifted her clothes.

“You…”

Before Jiang Muning could finish her exclamation, Qin Muye’s palm landed on her lower abdomen.

Then, he slowly started to rub her stomach.

Jiang Muning looked at him, his face was serious, but he was doing what a gentle man would do, her mind went blank.

“Does it hurt?”

Jiang Muning shook her head: “No.”

Qin Muye didn’t speak again, he rubbed her stomach seriously. Gu Manli said that proper abdominal massage could relieve dysmenorrhea.

Her heart was pounding, Jiang Muning’s fingers on the bed couldn’t help but curl up.

She quietly stared at his clearly defined profile, her heart was in turmoil.

“Brother Muye, why are you so nice to me?” Jiang Muning couldn’t help but ask.

Qin Muye looked at her, his deep eyes seemed to hold some kind of turmoil.

“You’re my wife.” Qin Muye said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Jiang Muning curled her lips: “So, no matter who marries you, as long as she’s your wife, you’ll be nice to her?”

Hearing this, Qin Muye almost instinctively blurted out: “No.”
