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

Chapter 76 Newlywed
The next day, while the earth was still shrouded in a hazy gray, loud firecrackers suddenly exploded all around, their crackling sounds like enthusiastic drumbeats, instantly shattering the tranquility of the morning.

Immediately following, the cheerful and lively sounds of gongs and drums filled the air, adding a festive atmosphere to this special day.
Since the two families live close by, the groom simply carries the bride from her parents' home to his own.

On Lu Beiting's side, Xia Zhi was still in a daze when Zhang Yuling from next door called her to her house and then helped her with her hair and makeup.

The exquisite tailoring perfectly showcased Xia Zhi's graceful figure.

A freshly cut rose pinned to her chest, vibrant and delicate, seemed to whisper tales of love's sweetness.

Zhang Yuling picked up the tongs and carefully curled Xia Zhi's hair into a natural and playful wave.

Then, she skillfully styled it into an exquisite updo, with slightly curled bangs and a few wisps of hair at the temples adding just the right amount of lively and playful charm.

"Oh my, Gardenia is such a beauty! Look how beautiful she is just by dressing up."

"Yes, she is the most beautiful bride I have ever seen."

"This Battalion Commander Lu is really lucky. It's a pity his leg is still injured."

The people in the room took turns praising her, and several children surrounded her, saying that Sister Gardenia was so beautiful.

Xia Zhi blushed deeply at the compliment, appearing exceptionally shy.

"Knock knock knock." A crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out at the door, and the people inside the room exchanged glances.

Li Qiao smiled and patted her youngest son, saying softly, "Xiao Bao, go get some wedding candy."

Due to Lu Beiting's injuries, the wedding pranks were omitted.

The door slowly opened, and Lu Beiting stood tall and straight in the doorway, his brand-new military uniform crisp and clean.

His hair was neatly combed, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. His deep eyes revealed a heroic spirit and determination, and he exuded a charm that was impossible to ignore.

Behind him stood Zhang Yi and Li Weidong, both with smiles on their faces.

He walked past the crowd, his gaze fixed on Xia Zhi, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, Zhang Yuling blocked his view, saying, "Hey, you can't look now."

Zhang Yuling covered Xia Zhi's head with a thin red veil.

"Uncle Lu, wedding candy! Wedding candy!"

Fan Dong, dressed in his best clothes, jumped happily in front of Lu Beiting with his friend, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Lu Beiting.

Li Qiao quickly stepped forward, "Hey, hey, hey, that's not how you ask for wedding candy. Come on, everyone say a nice thing."

Upon hearing this, Fan Dong immediately became obedient. He scratched his head, his face turning red, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

"May the bride and groom be forever united in heart and grow old together!" The girl's innocent voice uttered the purest blessings.

Lu Beiting's face softened even more as he gently took the wrapped melon seeds and candy from Zhang Yi and handed them to her.

"Thank you."

Wishing the newlyweds a long and happy marriage!

Wishing the bride and groom a happy and joyful time.

……

Looking at her disappointing son, Li Qiao sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She always told him to study hard, but all he could think about was catching crickets.

"Fan Dong, if you don't speak up now, you won't get a share!"

Fan Dong clenched his fists in frustration, "Congratulations, congratulations to the bride and groom, um... one, two in a year, three in two years!"

Li Qiao clapped her hands excitedly, "That's good, that's good! I wish the bride and groom a healthy baby soon!"

Lu Beiting couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even gave Fan Dong an extra packet. Xia Zhi, under the veil, had already blushed, the blush spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears. Her heart was pounding like a deer, and she was clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, feeling both nervous and sweet.

The aunties all offered auspicious words, wishing the newlyweds happiness and a blissful life together.

Finally, Lu Beiting gently picked up Xia Zhi and walked steadily back into the house.

Inside the room, Lu Beiting carefully lifted Xia Zhi's veil, his eyes filled with deep affection and longing.

Looking at the beautiful Xia Zhi, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Wife, you are so beautiful."

"Alright, hurry up and go out. There are too many people outside, and we still have to take care of them." Xia Zhi blushed and gently pushed him away, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Lu Beiting took her small hand and put some biscuits and candy into it, his voice gentle.

"If you're hungry, just eat something quietly. I'm going out now."

"Uh-huh."

After watching Lu Beiting leave, Xia Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. So this is what marriage is like.

I was so nervous!

She went to the bedside and quietly looked outside, then frowned in confusion.

The people sitting outside were all from the military, just dressed in civilian clothes. Even the aunts who had accompanied her to her wedding were nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile, shouts and noises came from next door in waves, probably from wedding pranks.

Xia Zhi let out a breath of relief. Thank goodness, no one here is so unforgiving.

"Beiting, I'm so happy to see you finally get married. You're a man, so from now on, you should give way to Xia more often."

If you're wrong, you have to admit it. There's no such thing as an insurmountable grudge between husband and wife.

Li Jianguo held up the water and looked at Lu Beiting in front of him, as if he were marrying off his own son. His eyes reddened after only a few words.

"Yes, don't worry, Commander, I won't let Xiaxia suffer any injustice." Lu Beiting assured him solemnly, his eyes revealing determination and unwavering resolve.
His comrades around him burst into laughter at his behavior.

"Beiting, happy marriage," Shen Hang said, stepping forward to offer his blessings.

"Brother, happy marriage!" Li Weibing followed closely behind.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." Lu Beiting had a faint smile on his face. After looking around, he felt his heart was filled with gratitude.

In the corner, Su Yating looked at Lu Beiting in the distance with a depressed expression, her eyes full of resentment and disappointment.

They had known each other the longest, yet the person standing beside him now was not him.

Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, and the jealousy in her heart grew wildly like weeds.

In the neighboring courtyard, Gu Yun Shen was forced to drink a lot of alcohol by a group of people. He staggered, his eyes were glazed, and he was even jokingly tied to a pillar. The group laughed and gently patted his buttocks, their laughter echoing in the courtyard.

Hao Liping wasn't much better off; her carefully applied makeup was ruined in the chaos, and her once beautiful dress was now covered in messy footprints.

She returned to her room in a disheveled state, plopped down on the bed, her eyes red-rimmed, her heart filled with grievance and helplessness.

These people are so unruly.

"Alright, Liping, don't be angry. The clothes can still be worn after washing." Gu Yunshen comforted her, rubbing his dizzy head.

Seeing Gu Yunshen sigh helplessly, Hao Liping considerately stepped forward and said, "I know, drink less alcohol."

Gu Yun Shen nodded, propped his head up, and swayed as he walked out.

Hao Liping looked in the direction of the next room, wondering how Xia Zhi was doing.
