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

Chapter 56 I'm all dressed up.

Wang Xiulan hurriedly explained, "No, no, no..."

Lu Beiting gave a sarcastic laugh. "No? Then what are you all arguing about?"

Wang Xiulan felt a lump in her throat and was momentarily speechless.

Lu Weifeng opened his mouth, looked at Lu Beiting's pale face, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He silently turned and left, pulling Wang Xiulan along.

Throughout the journey, Wang Xiulan remained worried, constantly asking him what to do, as she couldn't just watch her son spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Lu Weifeng was also annoyed by her noise and didn't give her a pleasant look the whole way.

Lu Beiting breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two finally leave. He glanced back at Xia Zhi's door and then went up to knock on it.

Hearing the commotion outside, Xia Zhi guessed that the couple had already left, so she got up to open the door and looked at Lu Beiting standing at the door.

"what happened?"

Lu Beiting raised his eyes and carefully examined the expression on her face. Seeing that she didn't seem angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I come in?"

Xia Zhi stepped aside, and after Lu Beiting went inside, Zhang Yi wisely slipped away. It seemed that his sister-in-law hadn't been affected by Uncle Lu and the others. He was going to tell the leader.

After entering, Lu Beiting raised his hand and closed the door. Then he silently looked at her, a hint of caution in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhi felt a pang of heartache. "Getting angry is bad for your health. Don't bother arguing with them. Just live your own life."

Only he could keep his composure; if it were her, she probably would have grabbed a broom and started fighting.

She was just starting to feel better and didn't want him to get angry and worsen his condition.

"I'm afraid you'll get angry." After Lu Beiting finished speaking, he hugged her waist and then solemnly assured her again, "I'm telling you, it's just the two of us living together, so don't take them to heart. If you're unhappy, you don't have to keep it to yourself."

Xia Zhi is a reasonable person. She will repay those who are good to her tenfold, and she will not hold back those who are not good to her. She does not want her to suffer undeserved grievances because of her.

Xia Zhi lowered her head, reached out and touched his head. His hair was a little dry, but it was okay. "I know."

"Then let's go to town another day and I'll buy you some clothes." Lu Beiting suddenly changed the subject, looking at the floral top she was wearing. He thought she would look great in a red outfit.

Xia Zhi nodded, "Well, I've never been married, so I don't know about these things. You can just do whatever you think is best."

In her previous life, when the original owner married Gu Yun Shen, there was no "three turns and one ring" (a traditional Chinese wedding gift), only a dowry of thirty yuan. Even the wedding clothes she wore were ordered by someone in town herself.

So compared to that, she was content.

"Okay." Lu Beiting smiled and hugged her tightly. In a few days, she would be his real wife.

After hugging for a while, Xia Zhi felt too hot and pushed him away. "Okay, sit down, let me check you over again."

Xia Zhi squatted down and lifted up his trouser leg. Lu Beiting's leg injuries were all on his calves, and now they were mostly scabbed over. If he were to regain sensation, this stage would be the most agonizing.

She reached out and pressed it, then looked up at him. "How do you feel?"

Lu Beiting looked at her happily, "It's a little itchy."

He's had this leg injury for at least two or three months now, and he doesn't feel anything at all. If it weren't for the wound, he might even think he wasn't injured at all.

But now it finally feels a little real.

Xia Zhi looked at him with pity, "Then you're in for a lot of trouble."

"It's alright, I can endure any hardship." Lu Beiting's eyes held a smile; if there was a feeling, it meant there was hope.

Xia Zhi clapped her hands and stood up. "Then you sit down. I'll go brew some medicine, and you can take a bath later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Beiting spun around and followed behind her, saying, "It's alright, I'll do it."

Some of that firewood is thorny, and it's easy to get hurt.

Xia Zhi didn't say anything. If he wanted to come, let him come. The fire she was burning seemed to have a grudge against her, and it didn't last long.

She went to a corner of the vegetable garden and brought over the herbs she had dried. Even before they were in the water, you could smell the strong medicinal aroma. As soon as she brought them over, Lu Beiting frowned upon smelling the strong medicinal scent; it seemed even more bitter than the herbs he usually drank.

Lu Beiting, lacking any backbone, swallowed hard. "Can't I soak my feet?"

"No, soaking your feet won't reach your thighs." Xia Zhi shook her head; soaking your feet wouldn't be as effective as taking a bath.

Lu Beiting had no choice but to obediently comply.

After boiling the water, she prepared to bring it inside.

"How about I have Zhang Yi come?"

Without thinking, Xia Zhi retorted, "Does Zhang Yi spend all day following you around? You're ordering him around."

She grabbed it and rushed inside.

Lu Beiting watched her retreating figure, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. Zhang Yi was so eager to serve him that he wouldn't even have to go on patrol anymore.

Lu Beiting had no choice but to obediently follow him into the house and then close the door.

After testing the water temperature and finding it to be about right, Xia Zhi said without turning her head, "You can take your clothes off now."

"I'm all dressed up."

?

She turned around and saw that Lu Beiting had stripped down to only a pair of faded underwear. After noticing her gaze, Lu Beiting straightened up.

His strong, firm muscles were on full display, and even the veins around his waist were clearly visible.

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and went forward to pick him up.

When their eyes met, both of them felt awkward and quickly looked away.

Xia Zhi quickly threw him into the pool and then hurriedly walked away.

A cold wind swept in from outside, and she gradually calmed down. She looked at the setting sun in the distance and saw several tall sentry posts.

She leaned against the wall, pondering her future. Apart from her medical job, was farming and animal husbandry really the only way to make money?

But she felt the money came too slowly, and she wished she had more money so the soldiers could eat well every day.

As she was thinking, Lu Beiting's voice came from behind her.

"Honey, I'm all better now."

She opened the door and walked in.

Lu Beiting's bloodless face was now flushed, his hair was wet with sweat, and his eyelashes were covered with a layer of mist.

Xia Zhi gave him a thumbs up, "Awesome!"

She knew best what the effects of the medicine were, yet he didn't utter a sound; he truly was a man of principle.

After Xia Zhi dried him off, she carried him to bed, covered him with a blanket, and turned to leave.

Lu Beiting quickly grabbed her, and said slyly, "The commander said that we only need one dormitory room."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I'll go move the things."

Luckily, she didn't buy much, or she would have been exhausted.

……

The family compound was in an uproar.

Chen Xiuping slammed her hand on the table, staring at Zhang Xiao across from her without backing down an inch. "Three turns and one sound plus a dowry of 180 yuan, no less, no discussion!"

The Lu family initially provided three turns and one ring, not only that, but also a dowry of three hundred.

If none of these exist, how can it possibly make sense?
