The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 19: Just give me a chance.
"Xia Zhi, I never thought you would be this kind of person. You were scared and caused my dad to fall into a coma, and now you're trying to take the doctor from him. Xia Zhi, when did you become like this?"

Gu Yunshen's tone was full of disgust.

"What do you mean 'because of me'? Did I carry him up the mountain? Don't slander me without any evidence!"

Xia Zhi looked at the two scoundrels in front of her. They really knew how to shift the blame. Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, they always insisted that they were right.

"If it weren't for you, why are you standing here perfectly fine while my dad is so badly injured? Who would believe that?"

Xia Zhi took a few deep breaths, thinking, "Don't be angry, it's not worth getting angry over someone like that."

She just pretended she'd been bitten by a dog.

Xia Zhi didn't argue with the two anymore, but turned to look at Dr. Shen.

Shen Hangzhi glanced at the two of them for a few seconds, and smiled gently when he noticed Xia Zhi's gaze.

"Hello, I am Shen Hangzhi, a friend of Beiting."

Xia Zhi quickly replied, "Hello, I'm Xia Zhi."

Shen Hangzhi then turned to look at Zhang Xiao and Gu Yunshen.

"The patient suffered multiple bites; it's a miracle he survived. As for when he'll wake up, we'll have to wait and see."

Zhang Xiao and Gu Yunshen's expressions changed, and their gazes towards Xia Zhi became increasingly hostile.

Shen Hangzhi looked at the two of them and said, "Come in with me."

"Yun Shen, your father's injuries are so serious, what if he suffers from chronic illnesses?"

Zhang Xiao looked at Gu Yunshen, her heart burning with anxiety. The pillar of the family was gone; what were they going to do now?

Gu Yunshen turned his gaze away from Xia Zhi, looked at his anxious mother, and offered her some words of comfort.

"Mom, everything will be alright. Let's talk about it after Dad wakes up. If this matter is really related to Xia Zhi, I will never let her get away with it."

Zhang Xiao's eyes hardened. "Yes, make her pay for the medical expenses and take care of your father until he recovers."

The two talked as they walked toward the ward.

In Shen Hangzhi's hospital room, Xia Zhi took off her coat, revealing several bloody wounds on her arm.

"There are some on my hands, legs, and back, but the rest are fine."

After Xia Zhi finished speaking, she looked around Shen Hangzhi's office. It was very simple, with a wooden table and two chairs.

The cabinet behind him was filled with various handwritten files and documents.

Seeing her so nonchalant attitude, Lu Beiting frowned and looked at the scratches on her arm with a dark and unfathomable gaze.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

Xia Zhi glanced at him and shook her head. "It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Shen Hangzhi took out the necessary medicine and handed it to Lu Beiting, saying, "Beiting, please bandage Xia's wound and try to keep her dry for the next few days."

Lu Beiting was taken aback and took the medicine and bandages from his hands.

Xia Zhi looked at Shen Hangzhi, unsure of how to broach the subject. She simply asked if she could come work at the military hospital.
Wouldn't that be too abrupt?

Shen Hangzhi walked to the side and poured a glass of water for the two of them, looking at Lu Beiting who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy.

"Beiting heard from Xiaoya that you no longer need my treatment?"

There was no blame in his tone, only a sense of curiosity.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Dr. Shen. I wanted to treat him, and I didn't mean to stop Lu Beiting from coming to you for treatment."

I just thought it would be more convenient if anything happened while I was at home.

Xia Zhi quickly explained that she couldn't take the blame for this, lest she be accused of ruining someone's friendship.

Shen Hangzhi smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I was just a little curious. But since you know medicine, Xia, Beiting has really married a good wife."

Xia Zhi blushed slightly at the praise and made a solemn promise.

"My grandfather taught me a few tricks when I was a child. Don't worry, I can definitely cure him."

Lu Beiting paused for a second; he had heard this phrase from her several times before. Shen Hangzhi, with a gentle smile on her lips, simply nodded upon hearing this, "Then you can contact me anytime if you need anything."

Since Bei Ting didn't mind Xia Zhi treating him, he naturally wouldn't say anything, and even had some expectations for it.

Lu Beiting had a serious face and moved carefully and cautiously. Normally, he could have bandaged it up in a few seconds.

Thinking of this, Lu Beiting couldn't help but swallow, his lowered eyes twitching a few times.

I glanced at Xia Zhi and noticed that she still looked relaxed.

"All right."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Zhi glanced at the condition of her hands and legs, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

It's actually quite good.

Xia Zhi bit her lip, looking at Shen Hangzhi with a hesitant expression. The reason she came here was to try and find out what he wanted to say.

But the words wouldn't come out.

Lu Beiting turned his head to look at Shen Hangzhi, "Hangzhi, Xia, cough, Xia knows traditional Chinese medicine, she wants to help out here, do you see if there's anyone suitable?"

As for her medical skills, you can have Uncle Chen test her.

Xia Zhi's eyes lit up, a hint of joy appearing in them, and she glanced gratefully at Lu Beiting.

She stood up, looked at Shen Hangzhi, and said confidently:

"Dr. Shen, I'm not going to use connections. I just want a chance. If you think I'm not qualified, you don't have to take me."

Shen Hangzhi looked at Lu Beiting and couldn't help but smile.

"Since you can cure Beiting's illness, of course we won't refuse. But you're right about one thing: there will be an assessment."

Okay, if you have time tomorrow, you can come over.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Dr. Shen." Xia Zhi's hand and leg no longer hurt, everything felt great.

Seeing how happy she was, Lu Beiting also smiled.

Looking at the way the two of them interacted, Shen Hangzhi was surprised to find that it would be a good idea for them to get married.

He had met Hao Liping before; she was spoiled, willful, and selfish—not a good match.

After saying goodbye to Shen Hangzhi, Xia Zhi happily pushed Lu Beiting back home.

Lu Beiting looked at the darkening sky ahead, with a few electric lights illuminating the path around him, and Xia Zhi humming an incomprehensible tune in his ear.

"Are you that happy?" Lu Beiting's cool voice rang out.

Xia Zhi stopped talking and said cheerfully, "Of course I'm happy, it means I have my own career."

"I'm sure I'll become a well-known Dr. Xia in the future!"

"Dr. Xia?"

Lu Beiting's tone was tinged with laughter as he uttered the words "Dr. Xia" in his magnetic voice, which inexplicably stirred up all sorts of thoughts.

Xia Zhi felt her cheeks burning, so she patted them and then bent down to look into the man's eyes through the dim light.

Lu Beiting's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xia Zhi suddenly appear before him. "What's wrong?"

"Lu Beiting, you don't dislike me being a doctor, do you?"
"So, after I cure you, you're going to make me stay home and do your laundry and cook for you?"

Xia Zhi walked up to him with her arms crossed, looking at him with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.

In this era, most women are devoted to their husbands and children, serving as virtuous wives and loving mothers.

To put it bluntly, they're just housekeepers or nannies.

Lu Beiting looked up at her, and now it was her turn to feel a little embarrassed.

Xia Zhi's eyes flickered a few times, then she got up and stopped looking at him; she had only wanted to tease him.

"Anyway, I have my own ideals and ambitions, and I don't need your agreement or disagreement."
