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

Chapter 39 Xia Zhi, Let's Get Married

Hao Liping has never been verbally abused to her face since she was a child, let alone her ancestors for eighteen generations.

Hao Liping felt so wronged that tears welled up in her eyes.

Unfortunately, Li Jianguo wasn't buying it.

"You're acting all wronged? Xia Xia didn't say anything even after being framed by you bunch of heartless people. You guys are really disheartening!"

After saying that, Li Jianguo snorted coldly, shook his hand, turned around and left. He was really furious.

Looking at this group of people, Xia Zhi felt much better and turned around to follow them.

After coming out, she found Li Jianguo standing to the side, seemingly waiting for someone. She looked around and realized she was the only one there, so she went over to him.

"Commander."

Hearing her voice, Li Jianguo immediately turned around. "Xia, they're just country bumpkins. Don't bother with them."

Even if he's angry, he's a soldier, while they are ordinary people.

"It's alright, then I'll head back now, Chief." After a brief moment of dejection, Xia Zhi quickly regained her composure.

Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it. Since they wanted her to serve them, she would serve them "well."

The more she thought about what she was going to do next, the happier she became.

Looking at her carefree attitude, Li Jianguo didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Getting angry with those people will only hurt herself. It's a good thing that she can think things through, but I'm also afraid that she'll encounter the same thing again in the future.

Xia Zhi returned to her original spot, picked up firewood, and hurried back. She had only taken a few steps when she saw Lu Beiting rushing towards her.

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander, slow down, or you'll fall." Zhang Yi followed helplessly behind him. He was the one who was pushing him, but now the battalion commander was complaining that he was too slow.

Lu Beiting stopped his wheelchair and looked at Xia Zhi, who was wearing a floral top and trousers and holding firewood, standing not far away. Their eyes met, and they felt a little awkward.

"Cough cough cough, I just thought something had happened when you didn't come back." After saying that, his cold eyes looked her over and then landed on her slightly reddened eyes.

He heard from Zhang Yi about Zhang Xiao's trouble-making and rushed over here, but it seems he was still a step too late.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go back first, it's getting late." After her anger subsided, she was a little hungry and wanted to go back and make something delicious.

The three of them remained silent the entire way. Lu Beiting didn't know what to say, Zhang Yi didn't dare to speak, and Xia Zhi was too hungry to talk.

After arriving at their destination, Zhang Yi slipped away under the pretext of training, leaving only Lu Beiting and Xia Zhi behind.

Xia Zhi picked up the matches and hay from the side and stuffed them into the stove. Two small pots were already placed on top, which looked like Zhang Yi had gotten from Sister Chen.

Lu Beiting didn't rush back to the house, but just sat there watching her.

When Xia Zhi initially wanted to marry him, he thought she was just using him. He figured that since she had achieved her goal, there was no need to make her suffer.

However, he also heard some gossip along the way, such as Xia Zhi being dumped by Gu Yun Shen, thinking she had climbed the social ladder by marrying the battalion commander, but now the battalion commander doesn't even want her anymore.

He looked at the villagers who were about to go home with a serious expression and said bluntly, "Xia Zhi is very good. It's just that he himself is not good enough for her."

But no matter what you say, these people won't listen.

Wow, Xia Zhi is really something! She's managed to bewitch the battalion commander in such a short time.

Lu Beiting realized at that moment how stupid his decision was. Xia Zhi had come to him not just because of joining the hospital; after all, with her intelligence, this shouldn't have been too difficult.

Most importantly, it can also block out gossip.

And now, because of him, she has been unwittingly thrust into the eye of the storm.

He's completely wrong.

"I'm sorry." Xia Zhi, who was tending the fire, turned around in a daze. Why was he apologizing?
"Huh?" Xia Zhi looked at him.

Lu Beiting looked at the ash on her face, reached out and wiped it off for her, his fingertips caressing her soft, smooth cheeks.

"Xia Zhi, let's get married. It's not a business marriage." It's not a marriage with any financial ties involved.

"Huh?" Xia Zhi looked bewildered. All she did was start a fire, and this...

And why is her heart beating so fast?

"I was wrong before, and I apologize to you. But don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future." Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Lu Beiting thought that she was still holding a grudge about what happened before, so he apologized again in a hoarse voice.

His heart was pounding like thunder, something he couldn't ignore.

Seeing the serious look in Lu Beiting's eyes, Xia Zhi blushed and was about to speak...

"Cuckoo..."

My constantly hungry stomach began to protest.

The ambiguous atmosphere was instantly shattered. Xia Zhi covered her face and turned away, feeling utterly humiliated!
Lu Beiting snapped out of his daze and turned back into the house, looking slightly flustered.

Xia Zhi stared at the leaping flames inside, her heart pounding. After regaining her senses, she felt it was all too real.

After Lu Beiting came out, he had a basin in his arms. He then took out some potatoes from the basin and handed them to her, saying, "Eat something to tide you over."

Xia Zhi lowered her head, not daring to look at him. She took the potatoes from his hand and looked at the remaining three potatoes. Immediately, the image of Grandma Potatoes popped into her mind.

My mouth watered instantly. I took the basin from his arms and sat down to start peeling.

Lu Beiting opened his mouth as if to ask her whether she agreed or disagreed.

But seeing how hungry she was, he didn't say anything and just picked up the potatoes from the bowl to help her peel them.

Xia Zhi then crushed the herbs and started stir-frying them in hot oil.

Soon, the spicy aroma began to spread, making people salivate.

Xia Zhi rested her chin on her hand, thinking that she would need to buy some rice, flour, and oil at the next market.

Zhang Yi, who brought the food, was also drooling from the smell. "Sister-in-law, your cooking is amazing!"

"Sit down and eat with us, there's plenty," Xia Zhi invited him to join her.

Zhang Yi glanced at the silent battalion commander beside him, picked up his bowl and ate, not knowing whether the battalion commander had taken his words to heart.

If you find a good wife, you have to hold on tight. Otherwise, you'll be crying in secret when you see her marrying another man.

After finishing her meal, Xia Zhi went to work in the neighboring field for a while, and then secretly treated the little ones.

Meanwhile, Lu Beiting in the room had his brows furrowed and never relaxed. Was she still angry, or did she not like him?
Lu Beiting gripped the blanket on his lap with a sullen face, but he didn't want her to marry someone else.

After a busy day, Xia Zhi returned to her little house in the evening. As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Beiting in her room.

I suddenly remembered what he had said today.

"Xia Zhi, do you have someone you like?" Xu Rufeng? He's not as good-looking as him, and he can't fight as well as him. What's so good about him?

"No." Xia Zhi walked to the bedside and sat down, pretending to be calm.

"So, what do you think of me?"

This is the second time he has brought up this issue today.

Xia Zhi carried a stool and sat down in front of him. "Have you taken the wrong medicine?" He rejected her before, but now he's coming to her like this. What else could it be but taking the wrong medicine?
Lu Beiting choked, all the words he had prepared before coming were now disrupted by her words.
