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

Chapter 36 Battalion Commander Lu, Provoked

Zhang Yi quickly shut his mouth, racking his brains but couldn't think of anything related to his battalion commander's normal laughter.

It's good enough that he's cold, doesn't get angry, and doesn't torment people.

"How's it going up the mountain?" Lu Beiting looked at the food in his bowl and suddenly felt a little bored.

"Squad Leader Xu led his men to search the mountain. They found some of them, as well as Yao Dashan and Liu Wen. They plan to hand them over to their superiors for further action."

Lu Beiting nodded. "Yes, let's all work a little harder during this time and see if we can catch their contact."

"Yes, Battalion Commander."

"Ah."

After finishing his meal, Lu Beiting looked at the gradually darkening sky, sat down in his wheelchair, and went outside. Zhang Yi followed curiously behind him, watching him play with the mud...

"Battalion Commander, if you're bored, I can take you for a walk. There's no need to play in the mud here."

Lu Beiting threw down the mud in his hand and looked at him coldly, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

Lu Beiting bent down and picked up a stone from the side, then mixed it with mud and started building. After finishing, he reinforced it with more mud.

"Battalion Commander, you... it's not because of Dr. Xia, is it?" Zhang Yi looked at the special kitchen and immediately thought of Xia Zhi.

After all, there was no one else but her. They had to train every day, rush to eat a hot meal at mealtimes, and then patrol the surrounding area until their shift ended in the middle of the night. They didn't have time to cook for themselves.

But the battalion commander is being too dramatic...

Dr. Xia didn't look down on him, yet he started looking down on himself.

That's normal, though. The battalion commander was just worried about dragging Dr. Xia down. If he were injured like that, he probably wouldn't have been able to take the blow and would have wanted to die.

"Yes, she said to make a good medicine decoction, and I did it just for myself," Lu Beiting said matter-of-factly.

Zhang Yi saw through it but didn't say anything. Who would use two stoves, one big and one small, to brew medicine?

Lu Beiting worked for a while, and when his teammates returned, they curiously peeked out, only to be scared away by a single look from Lu Beiting.

The next morning, Xia Zhi got up early and was about to wash up when she saw the stove by the wall. After saying "Huh?", she carried the basin over.

I carefully reached out and poked it; it was still a little damp and not completely dry. One was a little bigger and taller, and the other was a little shorter and smaller. The two, one big and one small, were close together, and strangely, they looked quite nice.

Did Lu Beiting make this last night? He probably didn't sleep all night.

Xia Zhi looked back every few steps, then, fearing she might be bumped into, she turned back to grab something to cover herself before finally going to wash up, satisfied, and then to the cafeteria.

"Sister Chen, the most important thing for recuperating is to nourish your body through diet. Don't worry, we'll start once my hand is healed."

After all, she doesn't have enough points yet.

Chen Yan was happy to see her, "Haha, okay, no rush, no rush." ​​She had waited for so many years, what's a little more time?

After helping out in the cafeteria for a while, Xia Zhi went to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic to help Chen Yang dry herbs, and also picked up some to take back and brew medicine.

"Xia, why don't you stay home and rest for a few days? You child, don't you know that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone?"

Chen Yang looked at Xia Zhi in the courtyard and shook his head helplessly.

"Alright then, Uncle Chen, I won't be coming for the next few days." Xia Zhi patted her leg and stood up.

She's going to really tidy up her vegetable garden!

"Okay, okay, go back and rest well. I'll take care of you once your hand is healed." Chen Yang looked at her with relief.

After spending these past few days with this child, I have a good impression of him and believe he is worth nurturing.

"Okay, Uncle Chen, I'll head back now." Xia Zhi washed the dust off her hands.

"Okay, go ahead." On her way back, Xia Zhi was still thinking about it. It was already morning, and the sun was up. She wondered if her little stove had succeeded.

As soon as she arrived, she saw Lu Beiting holding a water ladle by the stove, and she quickly walked over.

Lu Beiting patched up some cracks with water and mud, his well-defined knuckles covered in mud.

Xia Zhi squatted down curiously to watch him operate, which was a bit different from how she used her elbow to play with mud when she was a child.

Lu Beiting looked at Xia Zhi, who was squatting beside him, without saying anything. After he finished, he turned around to wash his hands, but she pressed his shoulder down.

"Okay, I'll go get you some water to wash your hands."

Xia Zhi took the water ladle from his hand and walked towards the pool. She quickly fetched water back and helped him wash his hands.

Lu Beiting looked up at her, "Why are you back so early today?"

"Oh, Uncle Chen told me to go home and rest, saying my hand isn't feeling well and I'm not allowed to go." Xia Zhi shrugged helplessly.

Lu Beiting's gaze fell on her hand, then he reached out and took the water ladle. "Yes, Uncle Chen is right."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Zhi rushed back into the house, picked up a hoe with one hand, and walked enthusiastically toward the open space.

Lu Beiting: "..."

Can't you just take a proper rest?
Lu Beiting sighed softly, put down the water ladle in his hand, turned his wheelchair over, and smiled as he looked at Xia Zhi, who was struggling to dig the ground.

Sometimes teammates fight here, so the ground is already completely trampled down.

Xia Zhi wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the ground, which was only slightly scratched, and felt a little resentful.

"Hey! It's so hard to dig? I don't believe it!" If she didn't only have one hand, she would definitely be able to dig it out.

Lu Beiting laboriously spun the wheel and reached her side. "Give it to me, I'm strong."

Xia Zhi, still unwilling to give up, dug a few more times with her hoe, but finally had no choice but to hand it to him.

She wanted to see just how strong he was.

Lu Beiting took it, and with one stroke of the hoe, dug it in firmly.

Xia Zhi opened her mouth in shock, then looked up at the sky dismissively, "It's just so-so."

Lu Beiting frowned, picked up his hoe, and began digging with a series of loud thuds.

In no time, half of the soil had been loosened, and Xia Zhi secretly gave him a thumbs up.

He's a real soldier, no wonder he's so skilled.

Lu Beiting stood up, wiped his sweat, and looked at Xia Zhi, whose eyes were filled with admiration. Only then did he realize that he had fallen for her provocation.

When Xia Zhi saw him looking over, she immediately felt embarrassed, as if she had been exposed. She quickly went over and massaged his shoulders a few times.

"Haha, you've worked hard, you've worked hard! Battalion Commander Lu is really amazing, you're so strong!"

Lu Beiting's face displayed a variety of expressions before finally settling into a look of helplessness. After finishing the last small piece, he turned and went back into the house.

After Xia Zhi returned home, she thought for a moment, then her gaze fell on a few eggs beside her. She picked them up and went to the cafeteria to cook them.

Then, carrying the things, he saw that his door was open and ran in. As soon as he came in, he saw him picking at the blisters on his palms and was stunned at the door.

Lu Beiting was surprised by her sudden entrance, so he immediately pulled the blanket over his legs and looked up at her, "What's wrong?"

Xia Zhi lowered her head and put down what she was holding. "No, I just brought you some food. Thank you for today."
