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

Chapter 20 Tough Guy's Shyness
"I will not interfere with any of your decisions or thoughts, not even after we get married."

Lu Beiting paused at this point, then looked somewhat awkward as he turned his wheelchair and left.

Xia Zhi smiled again, but she couldn't tell that Lu Beiting's tone was awkward.
She caught up with him, and seeing Lu Beiting's tense face, her smile widened. "Lu Beiting, marriage? Oh my, the date hasn't even been chosen yet, and you're already thinking about it?"

Lu Beiting listened to the chattering sounds around him and then stopped what he was doing.

He looked at her expressionlessly. "You were the one who brought it up, so we're going to get married eventually. Do you have a change of heart?"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Lu Beiting's expression immediately turned cold.

"Oh, no, why would I regret it? Look at you, you're handsome and have a great figure. Once I heal your legs, you'll have long, beautiful legs again."

Xia Zhi patted his leg as she spoke.

Lu Beiting's cold, hard face gradually showed some embarrassment. "You're a girl, so say less."

How could she just blurt that out?

Xia Zhi, however, became even more audacious, bending down and whispering something in Lu Beiting's ear.

The next second, the man's back stiffened, and he spun the wheel away.

Xia Zhi chuckled as she watched the wheels spin so fast they were practically blurry.

As he walked, he said, "Hey, I was just joking, wasn't I?"

Lu Beiting ignored her and didn't even turn his head.

"Hey, are you really angry?"

Xia Zhi hurriedly ran downstairs, and just as she helped Lu Beiting onto the wheelchair, Lu Beiting seemed to be competing with her, and sped up even more.

After that, Lu Beiting didn't say a word to her until he got back to his residence.

Xia Zhi stood at the door, awkwardly touching the tip of her nose. She was really easily teased. All she did was say that she wanted to see abs.

Lu Beiting sat in his wheelchair with his back to Xia Zhi, but his mind was already buzzing with Xia Zhi's words.

Then I felt a little annoyed.

He's always had good self-control, so how could he be so easily swayed by Xia Zhi's casual words?

Lu Beiting sat alone in his wheelchair, his back to Xia Zhi, as if he were facing the wall in repentance.

Xia Zhi watched his retreating figure and found it amusing.

Then he turned around and went to get some hot water.

When she returned, Lu Beiting had already moved to the bed by himself, holding the medicine he had brought back in his hand.

Lu Beiting looked at Xia Zhi as she walked in, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "The injury on your back hasn't healed yet."

Xia Zhi closed the door, dragged a stool over, placed the copper basin on it, and inside lay Lu Beiting's handkerchief.

When Xia Zhi took it, she took a sniff. It was clean and smelled like soap.

Lu Beiting's grip tightened, and his breathing became even more erratic. "In a few days, there will be a market in town. Have Zhang Yi accompany you to buy some daily necessities."

"it is good."

Xia Zhi carefully took off her clothes with her back to him. The original owner didn't have any underwear and always wore a bellyband that she embroidered herself.

Lu Beiting looked at his back, which was mostly exposed in front of him, took a deep breath, and focused his attention on the wound on his back.

Looking at the somewhat exposed wound, Lu Beiting asked, "There are monkeys on the mountain, why didn't you just run away?"

Xia Zhi is so clever and quirky, she doesn't seem like a dullard.

"I wanted to run too, but Gu Chonglin not only refused to run, he also stopped me from running and even pushed me."

In the end, he deserved it; he had no ability and insisted on provoking the monkey.

Xia Zhi spoke casually.

"But don't worry, he deserved it, he's badly injured."

Given how mangled and bloody it looks, it'll probably take several months to heal.

Lu Beiting's brow relaxed. "Hmm, are we going again tomorrow?"

"Go ahead, this amount of medicine isn't enough. I'll go to Dr. Shen's first in the morning, and then I'll go again at noon." The sun is shining, it's good to sleep.

As Xia Zhi was speaking, she suddenly heard a gurgling sound from her stomach.

She then realized that she hadn't eaten yet after a whole afternoon of fussing around.

Her little mouth curved into a smile, and she suddenly looked a little aggrieved.

Lu Beiting took the sesame seed cakes from the basket next to him and handed them to her, and was delighted to see Xia Zhi's happy face.

Xia Zhi took small bites of it; it was a bit hard, but it was alright, and she could eat it.

After Lu Beiting finished processing the food, she had eaten most of it. Feeling the hand leaving her back, she got up to pour herself a glass of water.

I almost choked to death.

Lu Beiting also took a piece and ate it with his head down, not looking at her, while he could hear the rustling sound of clothes being put on.

After they finished eating, they went back to sleep.

Lu Beiting then remembered that he had forgotten to ask Zhang Yi to change the bed.

The next morning, Xia Zhi got up early, changed into clean clothes, and headed to the military hospital, her heart pounding with excitement.

Upon arriving at Shen Hangzhi's office, one finds three or four unfamiliar faces besides Shen Hangzhi, as well as Su Yating.

"Hello, Dr. Shen," Xia Zhi greeted politely.

"Yes, Xia Zhi, this is Uncle Chen Yang, and this is Doctor Zhang Kaiming..."

Shen Hangzhi introduced the group of people.

Xia Zhi greeted them one by one, her gaze falling on the man with half-white hair, wearing a long, medium-length robe, with a thin face and deep, bright eyes.

He must be the Uncle Chen that Lu Beiting mentioned yesterday.

"Hello, Uncle Chen."

Chen Yang looked at the girl in front of him, who was thin and small but full of energy. "I heard from Xiao Shen that you treated Xiao Lu?"

Xia Zhi stopped joking and nodded seriously, "Yes, Uncle Chen, if you're worried, you can have Lu Beiting take a look."

Chen Yang waved his hand, then sat down to the side, his tone calm, "Who is your master?"

Xia Zhi's eyelids twitched, and under Chen Yang's watchful gaze, she forced herself to say the name of the original owner's maternal grandfather.

"I've never heard of it," Chen Yang muttered in confusion.

“My grandfather has difficulty walking and only sees doctors in the village, so it’s normal that he doesn’t know anyone.”

After Xia Zhi finished speaking, she saw Chen Yang nod thoughtfully, "That's true. In that case, I'll test you."

Xia Zhi remained serious, showing no sign of panic, and answered Chen Yang's subsequent questions fluently.

Several people around her also cast admiring glances at her.

Su Yating, who had remained silent the whole time, looked increasingly unwell. She had initially thought Su Yating was someone who couldn't be brought to the table, but it turned out she actually had some skills.

After a while, a satisfied expression gradually appeared on Chen Yang's face.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"Hey, Xia, do you know anything about Western medicine?" Zhang Kaiming also stood up, eager to try.

Their military hospital is severely understaffed, especially doctors.

The remote location, being on the border, had already scared away many doctors. If this one, who is hard to find, can be properly trained, he could be a great help in the future.

"Understand a little."

Zhang Kaiming's eyes lit up. He started by asking the basic questions, which Xia Zhi answered without any problems. However, when the questions became more difficult, Xia Zhi looked troubled.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Zhang." Xia Zhi ended the questioning at the appropriate time.

Zhang Kaiming laughed heartily, "It's okay, it's okay, you can learn if you don't know how."

Chen Yang looked at Xia Zhi with a smile in his eyes, "These are not enough to prove your ability. How about this, as long as you complete a task, we will agree to your request."
