Chapter 60 Brother Beiting~
"What's wrong?" Lu Beiting's voice rang out from behind.

Xu Rufeng quickly turned around and said, "Reporting to the battalion commander, Auntie wants to go to town with us."

Lu Beiting glanced at Zhang Xiao's family a few times, and was about to refuse when Xia Zhi behind him pressed down on his shoulder, "Okay, let's go together then."

Zhang Xiao and the others looked at her. At first glance, they couldn't tell who she was, but upon closer inspection, she looked somewhat familiar.

"Xia Zhi! It's you!" Hao Liping stared in shock at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman.

How could Xia Zhi be so beautiful? She used to be dark-skinned and skinny. How could she have changed so much in such a short time?

Gu Yun Shen couldn't help but look over, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. Xia Zhi, dressed up like this, didn't look like a village woman at all, but rather like a city person.

Lu Beiting looked over with displeasure, and for a moment the others couldn't help but shiver and quickly looked away.

"Thank you, Battalion Commander Lu."

Lu Beiting looked over with a frosty expression, his tone unfriendly, "Why are you thanking me? My wife told you to go."

Zhang Yiquan pretended not to hear, put down the board, and pushed him into the car.

Zhang Xiao's smile froze. Looking at the graceful Xia Zhi beside her, she couldn't bring herself to speak. In the end, she urged the two people next to her to get into the car.

Xia Zhi raised an eyebrow and sat down next to Lu Beiting. Lu Beiting pulled the blanket off his legs to cover both of their legs, turned his head and looked at her gently, "If you're sleepy, lean on me and sleep for a while."

Xia Zhi hugged his arm and smiled sweetly, "Okay." Then she nestled on his shoulder.

Zhang Yi and Xu Rufeng, who were in front of him, got goosebumps when they heard the battalion commander's voice soften so suddenly.

The three people behind were surprised to see this scene. Xia Zhi was indeed very capable; she had even tamed the most short-tempered Battalion Commander Lu.

Hao Liping gripped her skirt tightly. She had done this on purpose; knowing they were going to town, she had shamelessly followed them, wearing a new skirt.

She had originally thought that Xia Zhi, that good-for-nothing, must have never seen such a beautiful dress before, and that she would make fun of her. But who knew that Xia Zhi would steal all the limelight from her?

Looking at Lu Beiting's gentle profile and his soft whispers to Xia Zhi, she felt even more unwilling.

In her previous life, Lu Beiting had never treated her like this. Why should he?
Xia Zhi is such a vixen!
Xia Zhi caught a glimpse of Hao Liping's hateful eyes out of the corner of her eye, a smile playing on her lips, and then she hugged her even tighter.

"Brother Beiting~"

The girl's soft voice was exceptionally clear inside the car.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Zi!"

Xu Rufeng, who was driving, made an S-curve on the spot, and then quickly steadied the steering wheel. Zhang Yi, who was in the passenger seat, looked at the scenery in the distance. He was deaf and blind.

After coughing a few times, Lu Beiting looked at her with a flushed face and asked, "Wh-what's wrong?"

Hao Liping, standing behind, was furious. Shameless! Absolutely shameless!
Xia Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked over. "Why do you look so angry? Did you choke on some chili peppers while eating outside?"

"Xia Zhi, there are so many people here, can't you be more considerate?" Hao Liping looked at Lu Beiting, whom she had never met before, and her dissatisfaction reached its peak.

Why is she different from her previous life?

"That's not right. You keep calling him Brother Yun Shen, don't you? Besides, my man hasn't said anything, so why are you having a problem with it?"
"What, Hao Liping, you like Beiting?"

Just as Xia Zhi finished speaking, Lu Beiting, who was standing next to her, pulled her back in dissatisfaction, saying, "That's not true, I like you."

Xia Zhi immediately felt her ears burning, turned her head and glared at him, then shut up!

Hao Liping's face stiffened, and Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiao next to her looked at her.

"No, no, Brother Yun Shen, don't listen to Xia Zhi's nonsense. She's just jealous that I married you, that's why she's saying this on purpose." Hao Liping leaned against Gu Yun Shen with tender affection, then gave Xia Zhi a provocative look. Hmph, I almost fell for her trick.

Xia Zhi definitely wanted to embarrass her in front of Gu Yunshen so that she could take the opportunity to win back her.

She's not that stupid.

Xia Zhi looked at Hao Liping, who was practically clinging to Gu Yunshen, and found it an eyesore. Sure enough, this kind of thing should be done by a specialist.

Lu Beiting took her small hand and said, "I can hug you too."

Xia Zhi quickly reached out and covered his mouth.

That's enough!

Why did she have to do something so stupid today?!

Lu Beiting let out a few soft chuckles. The two people in front of him exchanged a glance and then secretly glanced back.

Zhang Yi instantly understood why the battalion commander had asked him that day, "Does he not look good when he smiles?"
A man who has a wife... really does change his personality drastically.

Lu Beiting picked up a notebook from the side and handed it to her, "Take a look at these things that need to be prepared for this banquet. Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

Xia Zhi nodded, took it from his hand, and was surprised when she looked at the handwriting on it.

This time, Lu Beiting wrote the invitation at home, so she knew his handwriting. She didn't expect him to personally prepare so many things, big and small.

Xia Zhi glanced at it and handed it to him, looking at him with a bright smile, "There's nothing to add, it's all there."

Lu Beiting took it, and the two smiled at each other, an ambiguous atmosphere spreading in the car.

Hao Liping almost lost her composure, staring fiercely at the two people's backs for a long while.

Gu Yunshen, not to be outdone, hugged Hao Liping tightly, saying, "Liping, when we get to town, I'll take you to the best clothing store to buy clothes."

Hao Liping's eyes lit up, and she said in a high-pitched voice, "Brother Yun Shen, you are so good to me."

Hao Liping looked at Xia Zhi in front of her, ready to show off, but found that Xia Zhi had fallen asleep on Lu Beiting's shoulder at some point. Then she saw Lu Beiting gently cover Xia Zhi with his coat.

All the words Hao Liping wanted to say suddenly got stuck in her throat.

Then Lu Beiting looked over with a sinister gaze, his voice low but threatening.

"Shut up! Or get out of here!"

The cold voice was completely different from the person who had been in front of Xia Zhi just now.

The carriage fell silent instantly.

When Xia Zhi woke up again, the car had already arrived in town. Hao Liping and the others had already gotten out of the car. There was no one around. She sat up and looked outside. It seemed that Lu Beiting and Zhang Yi had just gotten out of the car as well.

She looked at the clothes she was wearing, picked them up and hugged them to her chest, rubbed her eyes, and was about to open the car door and get out when she heard a clear sound coming from outside.

Zhang Yi and Xu Rufeng gritted their teeth and suppressed their laughter. After exchanging a glance, they looked at Lu Beiting, who was tidying his clothes in the wheelchair, and called out in an affected manner.

"Brother Beiting~"

"Brother Beiting~"

"Pfft!" Xia Zhi almost burst out laughing. How come she hadn't noticed how funny these two were before?

She could feel Lu Beiting's body stiffen instantly.
