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

Chapter 70 Sixty Yuan, Making a Man Weep with Tears!
Xia Zhi waited until it got dark.

"Xia, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The clothes and corsage are inside."

Xia Zhi accepted the gift politely and thanked her, "Thank you, Aunt Qian. Aunt Qian, could you please calculate how much these two sets cost?"

After paying the money, Xia Zhi looked at the darkening sky outside. At this time, she probably couldn't go back.

"Xia, this is my bicycle. Why don't you ride it back? You can bring it back to me later."

Qian Huaixiang pushed her bicycle out and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qian. I will definitely bring it to you in perfect condition."

"It's getting late, hurry back and be careful on the road," Qian Huaixiang said, then tied a flashlight to the front of the room and stood at the door watching her leave.

On the way back, Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh at how convenient it was to have a bicycle. It seemed that Lu Beiting had bought one for her, but she wondered when it would arrive.

At home, Lu Beiting sat by the door, constantly looking at the road not far away. It was already dark and he still hadn't returned. Had something happened?

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander, your wife will be fine." Zhang Yi looked at the battalion commander who had been guarding the door, but the commander wouldn't eat even though the food on the table had gone cold.

As Lu Beiting looked at the moon, which was now visible overhead, and was about to apply for a vehicle from the military base to go to town, a bright light appeared in the distance.

"Battalion Commander, do you think it might be your wife?"

Lu Beiting quickly looked over. He had good eyesight and, after seeing who it was, he relaxed completely. It was good that nothing had happened.

Xia Zhi stopped the car and looked at the two people at the door. She quickly explained, "Aunt Qian said the clothes were ready and asked me to wait. But it got dark before I knew it. However, Aunt Qian lent me her bicycle."

Lu Beiting hummed in agreement, went back to his room, and started heating the food.

"You guys haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Xia Zhi watched Lu Beiting return to the house, then turned to look at Zhang Yi.

"Sister-in-law, I've eaten. The battalion commander hasn't eaten yet. He's probably waiting for you to come back so we can eat together."

Xia Zhi nodded. "Thank you for today, Zhang Yi. You should go home and get some rest."

Zhang Yi nodded and ran back to his unit.

Xia Zhi carried the basket back into the house and saw Lu Beiting heating up food on the stove. "Next time, you don't need to wait for me. If you're hungry, just eat by yourself."

Lu Beiting sighed helplessly. He was angry with himself, only able to sit in this wheelchair and worry anxiously, unable to do anything. Otherwise, he would have gone to town to pick her up when the sun went down.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi looked at the silent Lu Beiting. Who had provoked him again?
Lu Beiting heated up the food and brought it to the table. "You must be starving. Eat up."

Xia Zhi had no choice but to pick up the bowl and eat, though she was indeed starving.

Lu Beiting put some food into her bowl, "How was your day?"

"Well, I sold it for a thousand dollars, and then bought two sets of clothes for sixty dollars."

Lu Beiting opened his mouth in surprise, then praised, "Really amazing."

Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows proudly, "That's right, these are all ginseng and lingzhi, which are very hard to find, especially lingzhi, which usually grows on cliffs and steep slopes."

Lu Beiting's heart tightened upon hearing this. "So you went to the cliff to pick them? That's too dangerous. Maybe I should wait until my leg is better before I go."

What if I slip and fall down the mountain?
He's tough and resilient; he won't die from a fall.

"Cough cough cough, cough cough." Xia Zhi suddenly coughed, accidentally letting slip the secret.

Lu Beiting poured her a glass of water and patted her back. "Take it easy."

"Don't go down there, it's too dangerous." He couldn't even imagine how she had managed to gather them; no wonder she came back all dirty yesterday. "Okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go." Xia Zhi nodded repeatedly, then lowered her head and ate the rice in her bowl, afraid that he would continue this topic.

After finishing his meal, Lu Beiting cleared away the dishes and went to wash them.

Xia Zhi watched his retreating figure, arms crossed, leaning against the door. What a stay-at-home husband and a virtuous wife!

After Lu Beiting finished packing and closed the door, he was about to sort through the things in her basket when he was stunned for a moment when he saw two sets of men's clothes inside.

"You bought this for me?" He looked up at Xia Zhi.

"Well, I noticed you only have a few outfits, so I was thinking of buying a couple for everyday wear." Xia Zhi walked over, took the clothes from his hands, and held them up against him. "The size should be about right."

Looking at her, Lu Beiting felt a strange feeling in his heart. No one had ever bought him clothes, not even his family. All year round, he wore only green clothes and the same set of clothes left by his grandfather.

Xia Zhi was about to tell him to try it when the man hugged her and said in a deep voice, "Xia Zhi, thank you."

"Alright, it's just two sets of clothes. You have so much money, you can buy as many as you want." Xia Zhi teased him, not understanding why he was acting this way.

These clothes aren't expensive for him, so why is he getting all sentimental?

Lu Beiting shook his head. Seeing that she hugged him tighter, his deep voice carried a barely perceptible sob, "Because I felt these things were unnecessary. Money saved up will be very useful. As long as it doesn't rot, it can be worn."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think of his faded underwear, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or comfort this depressed man.

"Cough cough, I'll buy it for you in the future, lots and lots of it."

Lu Beiting snuggled against her and said, "You're so good to me, my wife."

Xia Zhi lifted his head and looked at his slightly reddened eyes, biting her lip. This man is too easy to fool. He was so moved by just two sets of clothes.

"Mmm, it's getting late. I've had a long day and need to rest."

Xia Zhi picked up the teapot, poured some hot water, quickly washed up, and went to bed.

Lu Beiting stared blankly at the clothes beside him. As he looked, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, then fell back down, and he couldn't help but feel happy again.

Xia Zhi rolled over, unable to bear the sight.

The next morning, when Xia Zhi woke up, no one was beside her. She got dressed and went out to look for someone.

As a result, they saw Lu Beiting sitting at the door, dressed in a flamboyant manner, surrounded by Fan Dong and a few others, while Li Weibing, with a dark face, stood on the other side.

Lu Beiting smoothed his clothes expressionlessly, looked up at Li Weibing, and said, "My wife bought me these new clothes. They're so comfortable. Brother, take a look and see if you look more handsome than usual."

Xia Zhi stumbled and nearly fell after hearing this.

Li Weibing took a deep breath. He wondered why Zhang Yi had come to call him so early in the morning, saying that Lu Beiting was looking for him.

He thought something had happened, but when he arrived, he saw that Lu Beiting was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and even had his hair styled.

He immediately sensed something was wrong and wanted to go back, but Lu Beiting stopped him, and then...

Look how nice this dress my wife bought is!

Brother, you're dressed better than me, but it's a pity your wife didn't buy it for you.

My wife earned money yesterday, and she bought me something instead of buying anything for herself.

His cool tone was tinged with undisguised pride and smugness.
