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

Chapter 143 Ligation
After returning home, Xia Zhi plopped down on the bed, panting heavily.

She sighed, "I never felt tired before, but now I feel exhausted after just one trip up the mountain."

Lu Beiting touched her slightly swollen face tenderly and said softly, "Let's go to the city for a check-up in a few days to see how you and the baby are doing."

Xia Zhi nodded.

I just happened to sell that piece of imperial green jade from last time.

She stroked her chin, thinking to herself that she had made a lot of money in the city last time, and she was not short of money now, but it would always be good to have an extra source of income.

Seeing that she had agreed, Lu Beiting began to prepare for the trip to the city.

A few days later, Lu Beiting, along with his men, drove Xia Zhi to the city.

As Xia Zhi passed through the town, she glanced out the window and saw Hao Liping still selling vegetables, as well as Gu Yunshen and Qiao Sheng.

With a smug look on his face, Gu Yunshen put his arm around Qiao Sheng and stood in front of Hao Liping, saying triumphantly, "Hao Liping, I told you you're a jinx."

Look, Sheng Sheng and I haven't been together long, but I've already made a lot of money, much better than you selling vegetables."

He looked at Hao Liping, who was heavily pregnant and covered in dust, with disdain and mockery in his eyes.

Hao Liping looked at the two people in front of her, her heart burning with anger. But when she thought of the precautions Xia Zhi had given her, and for the sake of the child in her womb, she suppressed her anger and decided to treat the two people as if they were air and continue selling vegetables with her head down.

Gu Yunshen wanted to say something more, but suddenly, with a "bang," he was punched hard and knocked to the ground.

He looked up in pain, and when he saw Hao Yongsheng in front of him, he was instantly stunned.

His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Didn't he leave? How come he's here?

Hao Yongsheng clenched his fists fiercely, looking down at Gu Yunshen with a murderous glint in his eyes: "Gu Yunshen, if there's a next time, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

With his physique, dealing with someone as small as Gu Yun Shen would be a piece of cake.

Gu Yun Shen gritted his teeth secretly, filled with regret.

If he had known Hao Yongsheng hadn't left, he would never have rashly come here to cause trouble for Hao Liping.

"Get out of here!" Hao Yongsheng roared.

Gu Yun Shen didn't dare to say anything more and could only leave with Qiao Sheng in a dejected manner.

He secretly vowed that when he made something of himself in the future, he would make Hao Yongsheng and Hao Liping pay!

Hao Yongsheng turned to look at Hao Liping, his eyes full of concern: "Liping, are you alright?"

Hao Liping shook her head and continued selling vegetables.

Although selling vegetables doesn't earn her much money, it's the only way she can make a living.

Xia Zhi saw this and looked away.

After Lu Beiting and his group finished their business, they continued their journey into the city together.

Upon arriving in the city, Lu Beiting got out of the car, held Xia Zhi's hand tightly, and led her straight to the hospital.

The people at the hospital cheered with joy as soon as they saw Xia Zhi.

"Dr. Xia, I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon, and you've finally arrived!"

"Dr. Xia, we happen to have a few questions we'd like to ask you."

A crowd immediately swarmed around him. If Zhang Yi and the others hadn't been there to help maintain order, Lu Beiting would probably have been pushed out by the enthusiastic people. "My wife is pregnant, so please be careful, everyone." Lu Beiting said with a stern face, his voice low and cold, each word carrying a chilling edge, clearly audible amidst the noisy crowd.

His eyes were full of vigilance and concern, like a fierce beast protecting its cubs, closely guarding Xia Zhi beside him.

Those who had been surrounding them suddenly realized what was happening and turned their attention to Lu Beiting and Xia Zhi.

Lin Jiasheng stared wide-eyed at Lu Beiting beside him in astonishment, and stammered, "Commander Lu... Battalion Commander Lu."

The memory of Xia Zhi mentioning her marriage flashed through his mind, and he slapped his forehead, finally realizing what she meant.

"Quickly, quickly, everyone spread out! One by one, how old are you? You're still acting like little kids, you have no manners at all." Lin Jiasheng said, waving his hands and hurriedly telling the people around him to back away.

He secretly glanced at Lu Beiting and saw that Lu Beiting's eyes were so cold they seemed to freeze, and he looked like he was about to devour someone. He couldn't help but shiver.

Under Lin Jiasheng's direction, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Lu Beiting's expression softened somewhat.

Lin Jiasheng quickly arranged for someone to take Xia Zhi for a check-up.

After Xia Zhi left, Lu Beiting did not follow her. Instead, he slowly turned around and looked at Lin Jiasheng beside him.

His expression was solemn, his tone calm yet firm: "Dean Lin, I'd like to ask, how long does a tubal ligation surgery take here?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiasheng jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, his face filled with disbelief. "Battalion Commander Lu, this is unacceptable! How can you get a tubal ligation while pregnant? It's too dangerous!"

Lu Beiting sighed helplessly, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and explained, "It's me who needs to get a vasectomy, not my wife."

Lin Jiasheng's mouth gaped open, big enough to fit an egg. He stared at Lu Beiting in shock, and after a long while, he stammered, "Half...half an hour. If all goes well, it should take about that time."

"Let's go then."

Lu Beiting said without hesitation that Xia Xia's examination should be almost over in half an hour.

Lin Jiasheng then came to his senses and hurriedly instructed his subordinates to arrange the surgery.

Meanwhile, in the examination room, Xia Zhi lay quietly on the examination bed, her eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

The doctor carefully operated the equipment, his eyes fixed on the screen.

Suddenly, a delighted smile spread across the doctor's face: "Dr. Xia, congratulations! You're carrying twins!"

Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback, then the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a gentle smile.

She murmured softly, "No wonder I'm so tired during pregnancy, it turns out the two little ones are making a fuss in my belly."

"Well, thank you."

Xia Zhi looked at the doctor gratefully, gently stroking her abdomen, her eyes filled with maternal love.

After the examination, she got up to go find Lu Beiting.

When she walked out of the examination room, she found that Lu Beiting was not at the door.

When Zhang Yi, who was guarding the door, saw her come out, he quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Sister-in-law, the battalion commander will be here soon."

Xia Zhi frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled, but she nodded and waited patiently by her side.

About ten minutes later, she finally saw Lu Beiting rushing over.

Lu Beiting's face was as pale as paper, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead. His gait was also somewhat strange, and he walked cautiously with each step.

Xia Zhi's gaze was fixed on Lu Beiting, her eyes filled with worry and doubt. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
