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

Chapter 140 Love Arrived, But the Person Gone

Xia Zhi slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Qiao Haisheng, whose face looked haggard.

His face was etched with weariness and vicissitudes, and his eyes held a deep sense of regret and expectation.

Give him a chance to make amends?

Xia Zhi gazed at him quietly, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Qiao Haisheng's eyes were filled with pleading. He desperately hoped that Xia Zhi would nod and give him a chance to make up for his mistakes over the years.

After a long silence, Xia Zhi shook her head decisively and firmly under that earnest gaze.

"Need not."

Her voice was clear and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

No matter how Qiao Haisheng tries to make amends, the original owner will not come back to life.

Qiao Haisheng's body swayed violently a few times, as if he had been struck by a tremendous force, and he instantly lost his support.

He slowly covered his face, bent over in pain, and kept muttering to himself, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault..."

His voice was filled with self-blame and regret.

If he had come back sooner, Xia Zhi wouldn't have suffered abuse from the Hao and Gu families, nor would she have been looked down upon or endured so much injustice.

Qiao Yun, standing to the side, clenched her hands together nervously, her fingertips turning white from the force, her eyes filled with unease.

In fact, when she learned of this news, she was filled with sadness and shock.

She never imagined that Qiao Haisheng would have a family, and even such a grown daughter.

Even so, she still chose to come here with Qiao Haisheng.

Simply because Xia Zhi is a very good child, if Xia Zhi is willing to go back with them, she is willing to accept her and treat her like her own daughter.

"Dr. Xia, cough cough, Xia," Qiao Yun coughed a few times and said nervously, "If you are willing, you can come back with us. I will treat you like my own daughter."

Xia Zhi looked calmly at Qiao Yun and Qiao Haisheng, her eyes showing little emotion, and simply said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I now have my own home."

Qiao Haisheng was about to say something when Li Jianguo, who was standing to the side, let out a long sigh, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere.

He interrupted Qiao Haisheng and said earnestly, "Alright, I'm glad you're not dead, Zhendong. Since Xia Xia doesn't want to, then forget it. We'll take good care of her."

After all, a debt owed for more than a decade cannot be made up for in just two or three years.

"Uncle Li, I'm going to the hospital now." Xia Zhi said, then turned and left, her steps firm and resolute.

After returning to the ward, Xia Zhi sat quietly by the bedside, staring blankly into space, a wave of indescribable melancholy washing over her.

In the book, although the original owner of the body did not die, until the end of her life, no one truly loved or cared for her.

Now that the original owner is dead, first Hao Yongsheng, full of love, appears, and then Qiao Haisheng, who has come back from the dead.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain in her heart, how could the author have a conscience after writing the female lead so tragically?
"Xiaxia, what's wrong?" As soon as Lu Beiting opened his eyes, he saw Xia Zhi standing beside him in a daze, and his eyes were full of concern.

"fine."

Xia Zhi snapped out of her reverie and smiled at Lu Beiting. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, but she found herself becoming increasingly sentimental.

Lu Beiting gently moved his fingers and hooked them around hers, a tender and intimate gesture.

"You should go back and rest. Let Yan An go back with you. I'll come and take care of you again once I'm healed." Xia Zhi felt a warm current welling up in her heart as she felt the warmth on her fingers. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Okay, I understand."

Under Lu Beiting's repeated urging, Xia Zhi finally got up and prepared to go back.

Lu Beiting stared at her, his eyes full of worry, repeatedly giving her instructions:

"Don't touch cold water at home. Let Yan An wash your clothes, or leave them until I can move around and I'll wash them. There are still blankets in the closet. Take them out and cover yourself well while I'm not home, so you don't get cold..."

"Know it."

Xia Zhi stood at the door, and seeing Lu Beiting craning his neck to look at her, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Those passing by behind couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle when they heard Lu Beiting's voice coming from the ward.

"Commander Lu is so kind; even in this situation, he's still worried about his wife."

"Yeah, look at the battalion commander, he looks like he could jump out of bed."

Hearing the discussion behind her, Xia Zhi's face involuntarily turned red.

"Okay, I'll go back now. I'll come see you again tomorrow." After saying that, she quickened her pace and left, and Lu Beiting's voice could still be faintly heard behind her.

"Slow down, why are you running so fast!"

Xia Zhi quickened her pace.

……

In town, Qiao Sheng and Gu Yunshen's family had just rented a house and settled down. Before they could even catch their breath, they suddenly heard the system's voice in their minds.

[Host, something terrible has happened! Qiao Haisheng has regained his memories! Not only that, he also took Qiao Yun to the military base to find Xia Zhi.]

[What!] Upon hearing this news, Qiao Sheng immediately stood up excitedly, her eyes filled with shock and panic.

[Didn't Qiao Haisheng and Qiao Yun leave? Why didn't they leave, and why did they regain their memories?]

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Qiao Sheng's forehead, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

If that's the case, then wouldn't she be the one who was abandoned?

[They encountered an earthquake on their way back, and Qiao Haisheng regained his memory when he woke up in the hospital.] The system sighed as it said this.

[Host, I warned you before not to let Qiao Haisheng come to the military base, as it might trigger his emotions.] But not only did he come, he did it more than once.

Qiao Sheng stood there, stunned, filled with regret. But what good was regret now? It was all too late. She never imagined that Qiao Haisheng would regain his memories so easily.

Fortunately, Xia Zhi didn't agree to his request. Alright, host, let's speed up our conquest.

The system's voice carried a hint of anxiety, otherwise it was afraid that something unexpected might happen again.

With the system's prompting, Qiao Sheng tried her best to calm herself down.

"Sheng Sheng, what's wrong?" Gu Yun Shen asked with concern as he looked at Qiao Sheng, who was suddenly standing still.

"No, I just miss my parents a little," Qiao Sheng casually made up an excuse.

A hint of sadness flashed in Gu Yun Shen's eyes, then he hugged her affectionately and comforted her softly, "Sheng Sheng, don't be afraid. When I make something of myself, your uncle will agree to our relationship."

After hearing this, Qiao Sheng's eyes lit up, and she felt that this was indeed a good idea.
