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

Chapter 74 A blessing in disguise
When Lu Beiting woke up the next day, he noticed that something was wrong with his body. The confusion in his eyes gradually turned into shock and disbelief.

He suddenly remembered something, quickly got up and looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see Xia Zhi anywhere.

His heart clenched, followed by an unprecedented panic. He tried to get up, but something was tied to his legs, preventing him from moving.

"Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi!"

Lu Beiting called out anxiously in the room, though he didn't know what Xia Zhi had done to him.

However, he felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

When Xia Zhi returned from outside, she saw Lu Beiting struggling to get out of bed.

"Hey, hey, don't move!"

Xia Zhi quickly pressed him down; she had prepared a special medicine, and she didn't want it to go to waste.

Lu Beiting fell silent for a moment upon seeing Xia Zhi, his eyes filled with unease as he scrutinized her.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi looked at him as always.

Lu Beiting couldn't see anything strange about her.

"Don't move, I've wrapped some medicine around your neck."

Xia Zhi casually stepped forward to check the medicine on his leg, appearing calm on the surface, but actually panicking inside.

She was afraid that Lu Beiting would notice something was wrong.

She had surgery yesterday to remove all the broken fragments from Lu Beiting's leg and then repaired some of his misaligned areas.

Lu Beiting looked at the thing on his leg. Could it be that the strange thing he found was the medicine packet on his leg?

"The aunties are coming to help today, so I have to go too. Be careful at home by yourself."

After Xia Zhi finished speaking, she picked up her things and went out.

Tomorrow is their big day, and people from the neighborhood came to help today.

Besides them, the neighboring compound was also bustling with activity. Chen Xiuping and Zhang Xiao, relying on their popularity, basically called on everyone they knew to help out.

Xia Zhi's side only had a few aunts from the same courtyard.

"I think the Gu and Hao families did this on purpose. It was a good thing for both families to come together. If everyone could be considerate of each other and there weren't enough people, they could just distribute the rest evenly."

But what they did was call everyone away; they really don't know how to behave.

"People will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

Xia Zhi had just reached the kitchen door when she heard the sounds of discussion inside.

After pursing her lips, she went straight inside, saying, "I'll be troubling you aunties and uncles these next few days."

"Hey, Zhizi, what brings you here?" Zhang Yuling stood up and looked at her.

"I came over to see if there's anything I can help with," Xia Zhi said with a smile, and after glancing around, she quickly went to assist.

The courtyard had been cleared out to make room for them long ago. Today, the main dishes are making tofu pudding, frying tofu, crispy pork, and some side dishes.

After working for half a day, Xia Zhi suddenly felt unwell. After saying goodbye to the others, she hurriedly left the courtyard.

She had only been walking for a few minutes when a sharp pain almost made her lose her footing.

Xia Zhi gasped and quickly found a secluded corner. She leaned against the mud wall, trembling with pain all over her body.

Finally, I took out some painkillers and swallowed them. Thankfully, they were effective, but the pain returned a few minutes later.

Xia Zhi gripped the medicine bottle tightly in her hand. Knowing that all medicine has some degree of toxicity, she ultimately gave up the idea of ​​taking it.

An hour later, Xia Zhi, covered in sweat, got up and walked out.

That hour was absolutely agonizing.

She took a while to calm down before walking towards the family compound.

As they passed by the former family compound, Hao Liping happened to see them.

Seeing her pale face, Hao Liping assumed it was because she was angry with her, and felt much better.

"Hey, sister, why do you look so pale?" Xia Zhi gave her a cold look. "Hao Liping, don't you have a mirror at home?"

Hao Liping squinted at her, "What do you mean?"

"Otherwise, who gave you the courage to parade around with a pig's head on your head?"

After Xia Zhi finished speaking sarcastically, she simply turned and left.

Hao Liping's face turned pale and then flushed.

Ahhhhh!

If it weren't for that bitch Xia Zhi, how could she possibly be wearing an injured face on such an important day!

When Xia Zhi returned, she was surprised to find that there were more people in the courtyard.

"Xia's back, come inside and rest. We're here." Chen Yan came out carrying some things and saw her, so she quickly invited her inside to rest.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yi and the others were busy in the kitchen.

Xia Zhi turned her head in surprise to look at Sister Chen, who was smiling broadly beside her.

"Sister Chen, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" They're so busy every day, and they still have to come and help.

She felt a little guilty.

"What's the big deal? These young men are strong enough, and besides, this was arranged by the commander." Chen Yan gave her a reassuring look.

"That's right, sister-in-law, you're getting married tomorrow. Go and rest. We promise to make sure everything goes smoothly for you." Zhang Yi smiled at her.

"That's right, sister-in-law, go and rest."

The people inside urged her on, and Xia Zhi had no choice but to go back to her room first.

The house was decorated with red, paper-cut window decorations, and even the objects had the character for "happiness" on them. Red candles were also lit.

Xia Zhi's heart pounded as she watched this scene; the only thing that hadn't been changed yet was the bed sheet.

She walked to the window, where Lu Beiting was already lying down, covered in sweat; presumably, the special medicine had already taken effect.

She lifted the blanket, looked at the blackened strips of cloth, and sat by the window to change him.

A tickling sensation came from his leg, and Lu Beiting opened his eyes, which had been closed.

Xia Zhi removed the things on top, then looked up at him and said, "Lu Beiting, try moving it."

Lu Beiting's eyes were somewhat dazed. He seemed to want to move.
His leg had been numb for a long time, which made him somewhat unsure how to move it.

He held his breath, focused his attention on his legs, and after trying for a while, looked at his raised foot.

He was so surprised he couldn't speak. He looked at Xia Zhi, then at her legs, and looked at them repeatedly.

Looking at her, afraid it was just my imagination, I asked, "Wife, can I move my legs again?"

Xia Zhi nodded proudly, "Yes, I can move now."

The fact that things are improving means that everything she did was worthwhile.

"Great! I can stand up again!" Lu Beiting couldn't help but cheer softly.

Lu Beiting was panting heavily after trying a few times.

"Okay, let's take it slow, no need to rush. We'll just continue with the rehabilitation exercises."

Xia Zhi stopped him from lifting his leg again. With Lu Beiting's physical strength and willpower, she believed he would recover quickly.

"Okay." Lu Beiting held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Wife, thank you."

He didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and so quickly.

Lu Beiting was breathing heavily, and his constantly blinking eyes betrayed his calmness.

Just as Xia Zhi was about to speak, a voice that shocked and delighted her rang in her mind the next second.
