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

Chapter 142 Qin Beishan Apologizes

Upon hearing Lu Beiting's request, Shen Hangzhi's hands froze for a moment. He slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Beiting with disbelief, his eyes filled with surprise and incomprehension.

“Beiting, let’s be more careful in our daily lives. There are so many methods of contraception; there’s no need to go to the point of tubal ligation.”

Once sterilization is done, there is almost no room for regret; it is simply too resolute.

Lu Beiting's expression was resolute, his eyes revealing an undeniable determination. He frowned slightly, his tone calm yet firm:
"Hangzhi, my mind is made up. Xia Zhi and I are now having a child, and from now on I want to focus all my attention on the child and Xia Xia. I'll get a tubal ligation so I can feel at ease, just in case."

Seeing her suffer these past few days has made him feel uneasy, and he wished he could take her pain away from her.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Shen Hangzhi knew that further persuasion would be futile. He sighed helplessly and waved his hand, "Alright, if you're really determined to have this surgery, I advise you to go to the city instead."

The military has limited medical resources; its equipment and technology are inferior to those of large hospitals in the city. Performing surgery here is too risky and unsafe.

As he was talking, Xia Zhi's image suddenly flashed through his mind.

Xia Zhi is a renowned medical expert in the military, capable of resolving all sorts of difficult and complicated illnesses.

With Xia Zhi being so capable, wouldn't she be able to handle something like tubal ligation with ease?

However, the thought only flashed through my mind for a moment.

"Okay, sure," Lu Beiting replied, finally feeling a little relieved.

After thanking Shen Hangzhi, he strode home.

Back home, the house was quiet. Xia Zhi was fast asleep in bed, sunlight streaming through the window and illuminating her face, outlining her soft features.

Lu Beiting tiptoed to the bedside, sat down slowly, and gently looked at Xia Zhi's face. He reached out and gently stroked her cheek.

In the days that followed, Xia Zhi leisurely strolled around the military base every day.

That day, she was taking a walk in the courtyard as usual when she ran into Bai Yulan.

When Bai Yulan saw her, her eyes instantly filled with worry, but also with a hint of curiosity about the new life.

She walked quickly to Xia Zhi and looked her up and down: "Xia, you're pregnant now, so you have to be careful in everything you do."

I was only home for two weeks, and when I came back I heard you were pregnant! That's wonderful news!

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, her face beaming with happiness.

She inadvertently caught sight of Qin Beishan behind Bai Yulan. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she leaned closer to Bai Yulan and whispered, "Sister Yulan, have you two made up? I've seen Qin Beishan following you the whole time."

A shy blush instantly spread across Bai Yulan's fair face. She turned her head slightly and secretly glanced at Qin Beishan behind her, her voice trembling slightly: "I...I don't know either."

Thinking back to all the things she had done with Qin Beishan before, how they would bicker whenever they met and neither of them would give in, but ever since they went back to China together for the New Year, Qin Beishan seemed to have become a different person, becoming considerate and attentive, and always going along with her wishes.

This change left her somewhat bewildered, yet secretly pleased.

Qin Beishan followed silently behind the two men, initially just pretending not to care and glancing around. But when he heard them talking about him, he suddenly panicked and his steps involuntarily faltered.

He recalled the foolish things he had done in the past and was filled with remorse.

He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and anxiously walked up to the two of them. He looked straight at Bai Yulan, his eyes full of apology: "Lanlan, I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize to you."

Bai Yulan was a little flustered, her eyes darting around, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye: "Why...why are you apologizing all of a sudden? It's really strange."

Qin Beishan scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "I used to go against you and deliberately make you angry, but I didn't really want to make you angry. I was just worried about how sick you looked. I felt that you were more energetic and lively when you were angry, so I did those silly things."

After he finished speaking, he let out a long breath, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

He looked at Bai Yulan nervously, feeling uneasy, wondering if she would forgive him.

Bai Yulan looked at him in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She never imagined that the reason behind Qin Beishan's previous actions that angered her was actually this.

Xia Zhi looked at the two of them, who were blushing and acting a little awkward, and covered her mouth to chuckle: "Then you two have a good chat, I won't be a third wheel here."

After saying that, she walked to the other side, not forgetting to turn back and tease, "Make the most of this opportunity!"

After Lu Beiting finished his follow-up examination and was discharged from the hospital, he was extremely anxious and searched everywhere for Xia Zhi.

Finally, he found her in the cafeteria.

Xia Zhi was sitting in the corner, holding a cup of hot brown sugar water in her hands. The rising steam made her face turn red.

Lu Beiting looked at her from afar, a surge of tenderness welling up in his heart, and his pace quickened unconsciously.

He leaned on his cane and walked step by step to Xia Zhi.

Hearing the noise, Xia Zhi looked up and peered through the steam. When she saw that it was Lu Beiting, her eyes lit up instantly.

She quickly finished her brown sugar water, stood up, and had a sweet smile on her face.

"Have you been waiting long?" Lu Beiting gently took her small hand and rubbed it in his palm.

Xia Zhi shook her head and said, "If you're feeling better, let's go back."

Lu Beiting nodded, held her hand tightly, and walked outside.

As they walked, Xia Zhi suddenly stopped and pointed to the mountains in the distance, saying, "Lu Beiting, let's go up the mountain. I haven't seen Piqiu and Tuanzi in a long time, and I miss them terribly."

Lu Beiting looked in the direction she was pointing and said without hesitation, "Okay, if you want to go, I'll go with you." With that, he took her hand, turned around, and headed up the mountain.

The two arrived at the mountain, where all around was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Suddenly, the ball appeared out of a big tree. It stood on a branch, scratched its head and then its back, and looked puzzled. It did not rush towards the two of them excitedly as usual.

"Ball," Xia Zhi called softly.

Hearing the sound, the ball jumped down from the tree and circled around Xia Zhi's feet, occasionally rubbing its head against her leg.

Then, it climbed onto Lu Beiting's body, its round eyes looking at Xia Zhi curiously.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh and reached out to pat its head: "Ball, you've grown quite a bit."

The ball hummed twice, as if in response, and rubbed its head against her hand even more forcefully.

Next, they went to see Tuanzi.

Seeing that Tuanzi was safe and sound, Xia Zhi finally felt relieved and went down the mountain with Lu Beiting.
