[Alternate Era + Military Marriage + Child-Rearing + Island Cuisine]

In her past life, Shen Li married a poor intellectual with two kids while her sister, Shen Mengyue, married a military off...

Chapter 49

Here, Shen Li still doesn't know about Lu Jingchuan's gambling.

After Lu Jingchuan left, Shen Li saw that it was getting late, so she carried Duoduo to take a bath.

Duoduo and Minghui helped her pick mangoes today. The two children were sweating from climbing up the mountain with their little arms and legs. They should take a good shower.

"Xiaohui, come here. I'll give you two a bath together." Shen Li had already come to the bathroom carrying Duoduo.

She got a larger basin, poured warm water into it, and quickly took off Duoduo's dirty little skirt and threw it into the laundry basket, then sat in the basin holding Duoduo.

Duoduo is small, so there is still plenty of space even if she sits in the basin.

While Shen Li was wiping Duoduo's body with a wipe dipped in warm water, she tilted her head to look outside the bathroom and asked loudly.

Lu Minghui's face was a little shy, "No."

He is a little man and cannot take a bath with his sister.

"Then I'll wash my sister first, and then I'll wash you." Shen Li said, wiping Duoduo's body over and over again with a wet towel.

This was the first time she gave Duoduo a bath since she came to the island.

You wouldn’t know until you wash it. Once you wash it, Shen Li finds that Xiao Duoduo is covered with so much mud!

When I rubbed it with my hands, circles of black mud fell down and fell into the basin. After rubbing it again, the water in the basin had turned a little gray.

It's no wonder. Li Cuicui didn't treat the two children well before, so she naturally couldn't give Duoduo a proper bath. Lu Jingchuan was a grown man and was so busy with work. He probably didn't have the energy and was embarrassed to give Duoduo a bath.

Even if Lu Jingchuan wanted to wash Duoduo, Duoduo would probably resist.

Shen Li looked at Duoduo with a hint of heartache.

Duoduo bit her little lips, her embarrassed face was red, and her earlobes were also red.

She is dirty.

She is not a clean and good baby.

Will my mother dislike her?

When she thought about her mother disliking the mud on her body, her nose and eyes turned red. She lowered her head and dared not look at her mother again.

"Duoduo, mommy will change the water for you." Shen Li took the little girl out of the basin, held her and sat her on the toilet, then she went to get another basin of warm water.

After rubbing for the second time, there was less black mud on Duoduo's body, and her fair and tender skin gradually appeared.

"It turns out that our Duoduo is so fair!" Shen Li chuckled, "When Duoduo grows up, she will definitely become an exceptionally beautiful little girl."

Duoduo raised her big, watery eyes like black grapes and looked at Shen Li carefully. Seeing that there was no dislike for her in her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief, "I want to be as beautiful as mom."

Duoduo whispered.

"Of course you will! You will be more beautiful than mom by then!" Shen Li praised with a smile.

Duoduo shook her head.

Mom, the most beautiful woman in the world!

Soon, Shen Li finished scrubbing Duoduo's bath, washed her hair, wrapped her hair with a towel, wrapped her little body with a bath towel, wiped it clean, and then changed Duoduo into soft and comfortable pink strawberry pajamas.

"Now that Duoduo has finished bathing, it's Xiaohui's turn." Shen Li stood up and moved around, "Xiaohui, come in and take a bath."

"놖……놖 I can wash it myself." Lu Minghui said in a low voice.

Shen Li nodded, "Then you take a bath by yourself, and sleep with your sister."

Shen Li carried Duoduo upstairs. After she read a fairy tale book with Duoduo for a while, Duoduo fell asleep soon.

Shen Li was a little tired after a busy day. Listening to Duoduo's light breathing, Shen Li gradually felt sleepy and closed her eyes.

In her dream, it seemed that a tall and straight figure appeared and enveloped her.

The man's clear and masculine breath penetrated into Shen Li's nostrils and enveloped her.

Then she was picked up by a pair of iron-like arms and held in his arms.

Shen Li opened her eyes in a daze, and what she saw was the man's angular jawline and protruding Adam's apple.

The man held her in his strong, muscular arms and led her into the bedroom.

Lu Jingchuan carried his dazed wife back to the bedroom.

The moment he held his young wife on the bed, the little woman's slender white arms softly hooked around his neck. She pursed her lips in her sleep and muttered softly, but no one knew what she was saying.

Lu Jingchuan moved closer, put his ear close to the little woman's lips, and listened carefully.

The light floral scent from her body penetrated into his nostrils, making his heart itch.

At such a close distance, his muscular chest rubbed against two full breasts. The man froze and his blood boiled.

Seductive little goblin!

He wanted to press her under him and do it eight or ten times a night.

But although he thought so in his heart, Lu Jingchuan was reluctant to do so.

His young wife was very delicate, and she started crying before he even put any effort into it.

He couldn't bear to see her cry.

The man's breathing became heavier. Just when he thought Shen Li would not talk in her sleep and was about to get up to take a cold shower, he heard Shen Li muttering softly: "Lu Jingchuan~ Don't die~"

Darkness surged in Lu Jingchuan's dark eyes, and his hard heart became hot and boiling.

He leaned over and kissed the little girl's porcelain-white face very gently.

"Be good, Lili, your partner won't die." He coaxed her.

The little girl seemed to be comforted in her dream and slept more soundly.

The next day, the news of the bet between Captain Lu and Captain Yang spread quickly on the island.

"Have you heard? Captain Lu predicted that a super typhoon will hit our island in two days! He even made a bet with Captain Yang!"

"This time the stakes are quite high. If the typhoon hadn't come, Commander Lu would have been expelled from the party and kicked out of the army..."

"This is too bad! Captain Lu is not a reckless person. Why would he suddenly make such a bet? Besides, didn't the weather station detect the typhoon? Could it be that Captain Lu is more accurate than the weather station?"

"It's because Captain Lu has a vixen wife!" At this time, Liu Yan laughed, "Everyone has seen how wise and brave Captain Lu was before, but since he married a vixen wife, he has been bewitched and completely became a wife slave. He believes whatever his wife says. Just because his wife had a dream about a typhoon, Captain Lu went to the political commissar and made a bet with Captain Yang."

"Oh my god, isn't Shen Li such a troublemaker? She is harming her own target! Captain Lu is so pitiful! He is bewitched by such a woman!"

"Who says no?" Liu Yan laughed. "Captain Lu is so obsessed that he will probably wake up after being fired in two days. By then, he will definitely regret marrying such a seductive woman! He might even ask for a divorce! So, if you want to marry a wife, don't marry someone who is too pretty. You should find someone like us who can live a good life and start a family."

"I suddenly feel sympathy for Captain Lu. Such a good officer, what a pity, his career was ruined by a woman!"

The military wives, led by Liu Yan, gathered together and talked in low voices.

Lu Minghui, who was about to go home after picking two big coconuts for Shen Li, heard these words. His face darkened and he picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it hard at Liu Yan!
