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

Chapter 7 Battalion Commander Lu, how about we discuss cooperation?
"Aunt Qiao, are you home?"

Zhang Xiao knocked on a door and whispered into it, careful not to wake the people around her.

"Who is it so early in the morning?" It was a chilly morning, so Li Qiao put on her own clothes and came to open the door.

Upon opening the door, Zhang Xiao was startled to see her standing there. "Aunt Zhang, is something wrong?"

"Aunt Qiao, let's go inside and talk!" Zhang Xiao said, turning her head to glance at the several houses next door that were still closed, indicating that they hadn't gotten up yet.

Seeing her acting like a thief, Li Qiao still welcomed her inside.

As soon as she sat down, Zhang Xiao took a few eggs out of the basket and put them on the table. "Aunt Qiao, take these eggs and use them to nourish your family."

"Oh dear, this won't do, this won't do!" Li Qiao looked at the eggs on the table, both surprised and delighted. These were precious things; they usually couldn't bear to eat them.

"Oh, Aunt Qiao, let's not talk like that, we're neighbors." Zhang Xiao said, nudging me. "Aunt Qiao, actually I came to see you today because I need your help with something."

Looking at the eggs, Li Qiao was delighted. "Aunt Zhang, you can just say so."

Zhang Xiao's expression turned serious, and then he leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiao's expression changed drastically. "This... Aunt Zhang, isn't this inappropriate?" This is too immoral. Xia Zhi hasn't done anything wrong, and besides, she lied to Battalion Commander Lu. If people find out...

"No, no, no, Aunt Qiao, I won't do this. You know my eldest son is in the army. If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for him!"

Li Qiao pushed the eggs toward her with a serious expression.

Zhang Xiao's face instantly fell, and he looked at Li Qiao with a gloomy expression.

"Aunt Qiao, we're all from the same compound, there's no need to make things so ugly."

Li Qiao remained silent, but when she turned her head to look at Zhang Xiao's full basket of eggs, she was surprised.

Is she planning to bribe everyone in the courtyard to help her lie?

Li Qiao hesitated for a moment, but finally softened her tone.

“Look at what Aunt Zhang is saying, what are you talking about? I really can’t do it. My eldest son just joined the army not long ago, so please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Seeing her stubbornness, Zhang Xiao angrily put the eggs back in the basket, snorted, and left.

After coming out, he knocked on the doors of several other houses.

Li Qiao listened intently by the doorway, patting her chest with lingering fear. The Gu family was incredibly bold.

As dawn broke, the roosters began to crow in the courtyard, and soon the quiet courtyard began to stir.

The people who came out to pour water exchanged glances, then looked at the eggs in each child's hand and instantly understood.

With strength in numbers, the group of people who were already feeling guilty after receiving the gifts suddenly felt less afraid.

Just then, the tightly closed door opened, and Xia Zhi came out and stretched comfortably.

I finally got a good night's sleep.

The others thought Xia Zhi was going to act crazy again like yesterday, but after waiting for a long time, she was still sitting on the small stool by the door.

Having already taken care of everything, Zhang Xiao glanced smugly in their direction. With so many people in their family, why would they be afraid of an orphan like her?
Xia Zhi yawned boredly, wondering if Lu Beiting would come or not. If he didn't come, the show couldn't start.

She got up and walked outside, deciding to deal with them later.

A group of people followed her out in confusion. Logically speaking, shouldn't Xia Zhi have made a big fuss after waking up?

Xia Zhi had just come out and was wandering around the entrance of the military base, thinking about what excuse she should come up with to see Lu Beiting.

Then I heard the sound of wheels.

She looked up and saw Lu Beiting dressed in a Zhongshan suit, his cold demeanor adding a touch of elegance.

Lu Beiting raised his eyes indifferently, showing no surprise at seeing her, as if he had known she would be there all along. Xia Zhi stepped forward with a grin, her hands behind her back, bending down to meet the man's sharp gaze.

"Battalion Commander Lu, how about we discuss a collaboration?"

Lu Beiting looked at her with interest, speaking sparingly, "Oh?"

“It’s simple. You marry me, and I’ll help you get treatment.” Xia Zhi raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, every word exuding confidence.

Lu Beiting propped his head up with his hand, squinting at her. "Miss Xia, you surely know that military marriages cannot be dissolved?"

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, looking at him with a puzzled expression, and asked in return, "So, Battalion Commander Lu, do you think your health is more important than this marriage?"

If that's the case, then I'm sorry to bother you.

Lu Beiting's cold, hard face froze for a moment, and a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes. "Not really, but I wonder how confident Miss Xia is?"

As he finished speaking, his hands clenched involuntarily, for his injury was no simple matter.

Secondly, he is a man, and no man can resist the urge to act.

However, as far as he knew, this woman did not know medicine.

Can she really cure him?

Xia Zhi crossed her arms, her eyes shining brightly, and confidently declared, "Eighty percent!"

It was only 50-60% to begin with, but with the medical system, it's practically guaranteed.

Upon hearing this, even Zhang Yi, who was standing behind Lu Beiting, couldn't help but ask first, "Miss Xia, is this really true?"

If that's the case, that would be wonderful.

The battalion commander was a great hero. Ever since he was injured, he could always be seen grieving alone.

His eyes were filled with regret for the future. If things could really get better, the battalion commander would definitely go further and further down this path!
Lu Beiting didn't speak, but it wasn't hard to see the faint expectation in his eyes.

"Really! So, Battalion Commander Lu..."

"Okay, I promise you. As long as you can cure me, I'll agree to anything as long as it's not illegal or against the law."

Lu Beiting interrupted her, unable to contain himself, but then realized it was impolite, and a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. If she had really been rejected, things would have been tough for her.

"Alright, deal. Now, let's borrow Battalion Commander Lu's power for a bit."

Xia Zhi came over to Zhang Yi, and with just a glance, Zhang Yi consciously let go of her hand, allowing Xia Zhi to push the wheelchair.

The group of people watching from a distance were still discussing amongst themselves.

"Hey, what does Zhi Zi want with Battalion Commander Lu this time? Could they be whispering something to each other?"

Hao Liping, watching this scene from behind the crowd, still clenched her fists with some resentment.

Lu Beiting was a highly respected battalion commander with considerable influence within the army, and his allowance was substantial.

The only pity is that he was crippled. Even if he could stand up again later, it would still be useless.

There's nothing to regret; she no longer wants to endure the scorn and contempt of the world.

Besides, Lu Beiting's family isn't exactly benevolent either; let Xia Zhi suffer the consequences.

"Oh no, Xia Zhi is pushing Battalion Commander Lu this way. Could she be here to cause trouble?"
