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

Chapter 117

Lu Yan'an, who was outside, was still in shock, her mind blank, and she hadn't reacted at all.

The next second, Xia Zhi appeared like a ghost and caught her red-handed.

Lu Yan'an felt a chill run down her spine, her tongue seemed to be tied in a knot, her throat was dry, and she couldn't utter a single word for a long time. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you, you're done? You, you, you, don't worry, I, I didn't see anything!" she stammered, her voice full of panic.

Lu Yan'an immediately stood up straight, like a primary school student who had made a mistake, and then held up three fingers, solemnly assuring Xia Zhi.

But when he caught a glimpse of the blood-stained wooden stick out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

What she did before shouldn't have warranted such a severe beating, right?

Xia Zhi glanced at her indifferently and said calmly, "Okay, let's go and bring the car over."

Lu Yan'an nodded hurriedly, as if she had been granted a pardon, and rushed to the woods to push the cart.

Xia Zhi calmly tossed the tools used in the crime into her spatial storage.

When Lu Yan'an came out pushing her bicycle, Xia Zhi got on and took her away from this troublesome place.

When Xia Zhi brought Lu Yan'an back, Lu Beiting was already sitting calmly at home waiting.

"You're back." Lu Beiting looked at Xia Zhi, his tone carrying a deeper meaning, as if he knew what Xia Zhi had been doing.

Xia Zhi nodded and said truthfully, "Yes, your sister had a falling out with your parents and said she's never going back."

Lu Beiting looked at Lu Yan'an behind her and sighed slightly, "She's grown up and has a temper now."

There was not a trace of blame in his tone.

Then, Lu Beiting got up and walked to the two of them, saying seriously, "Let's go, I'll take you to the military dormitory. If you can stay there, that's your skill. If you can't, you'd better know better and go home."

Lu Yan'an bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with stubbornness.

She was sure she could stay; she wasn't afraid of hardship. It was just that she felt suffocated and oppressed in that home.

After settling Lu Yan'an in, Lu Beiting had Xia Zhi work with her at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, doing odd jobs such as sorting and drying herbs.

Lu Yan'an had no complaints. She did whatever Xia Zhi asked her to do, and humbly asked for advice when she encountered something she didn't understand.

"Okay, then take care of yourself. I'm going back now."

As the sun gradually set, Xia Zhi yawned and got up to leave.

"Okay, sister-in-law, you can go back now. I've remembered everything you said, don't worry." Lu Yan'an looked at her happily. In her opinion, although these tasks were trivial, they were all easy and not tiring.

Xia Zhi went to Bai Yulan's dormitory to visit her. After checking her over carefully, she patiently gave her a few more words of advice: "Sister Yulan, keep up your exercise routine. I'll take you to the mountain in a couple of days."

Bai Yulan looked much better, a gentle smile on her face. "Okay, call me when the time comes."

After Xia Zhi came out, she happened to run into Qiao Sheng, who was carrying a basin downstairs to wash up.

She glanced at it indifferently, pretended not to have seen anything, and went straight downstairs.

Qiao Sheng stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on her back.

This Xia Zhi is completely different from the one in the original text.

After Xia Zhi returned home, she started a fire and cooked a meal herself.

After eating at the cafeteria for several days, she still felt that the food she cooked was the most delicious.

Lu Beiting didn't return until late at night, and Xia Zhi was already asleep when he came back. He looked at the sleeping person on the bed, tiptoed out to wash up, and then quietly returned.

As soon as she got into bed, Xia Zhi opened her eyes.

Xia Zhi squinted at Lu Beiting, her voice slightly languid: "You're back. Have you eaten?"

Lu Beiting squeezed next to her and gently hugged her. "Yes, we've eaten. They said there's news about Li Baozhu. Despite all our precautions, she still managed to run back."

Hearing this, Xia Zhi immediately became curious, "How did you get there? Weren't there people guarding it?"

Lu Beiting sighed, his expression grave. "They found a less guarded route and forced their way through; quite a few people died."

Xia Zhi felt a little heavy-hearted. These people who didn't value their lives really were fearless in whatever they did.

"It's okay, things will get better." Xia Zhi patted his arm, closed her eyes, and prepared to continue sleeping.

Lu Beiting stole a kiss on her cheek, then stopped bothering her and closed his eyes to sleep.

Over the next few days, Xia Zhi was extremely busy at the military base, while Lu Yan'an adapted very well.

After breakfast that day, Xia Zhi went to the dormitory to find Bai Yulan.

From afar, Xia Zhi saw Qiao Sheng standing in front of Bai Yulan. She frowned, then stopped and decided to observe first to see what was going on.

"Comrade Qiao, I accidentally bumped into you, and I've already apologized. Why are you still being so unreasonable?"

Bai Yulan looked at Qiao Sheng in front of her with a helpless expression.

This person just walked straight towards her; she was only a little slow to react, but the two still bumped into each other.

She thought that since they were all in the same dorm, there was no need to make things too ugly. Who knew that Qiao Sheng would keep complaining and not say a single nice thing.

"Who's being unreasonable? You're the one who bumped into me. Is an apology all you're going to do? Shouldn't you take my clothes to wash them? Who knows if you're even clean?"

Qiao Sheng crossed his arms and snorted coldly. If he couldn't cause trouble for Xia Zhi, couldn't he at least cause trouble for her?

Bai Yulan looked at her green military uniform, which was only slightly dusty. Isn't that normal in this army?

Should I have her do the laundry?
Xiaoling washed all the clothes she brought herself.

"Comrade Qiao, you're deliberately picking a fight." A hint of impatience appeared on Bai Yulan's gentle face.

After hearing this, Xia Zhi walked out from the stairwell and said coldly, "Comrade Qiao, you really care about your clothes. Should I ask Uncle Li to prepare a few more sets for you?" Qiao Sheng looked at Xia Zhi, who had suddenly appeared here, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Xia Zhi stepped forward and looked her over a few times, her expression cold and stern. "Comrade Qiao, this is the army, not your home. If you can't accept a little dust on your clothes, I think you should go home and be your pampered princess."

Qiao Sheng's face turned pale and red after Xia Zhi's words, and she opened her mouth but didn't know how to refute them.

She glared fiercely at Xia Zhi, her heart filled with resentment, yet she dared not retaliate further.

She wasn't stupid; she had seen Xia Zhi's influence in the military.

A direct confrontation now would only be detrimental to her.

After seeing Xia Zhi, Bai Yulan walked over to her side.

Xia Zhi whispered to Bai Yulan, "Sister Yulan, don't pay attention to her, let's do what we need to do."

Afterwards, Xia Zhi left with Bai Yulan, leaving Qiao Sheng standing alone in the same spot.
