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

Chapter 144 Settling Down at the Shen Family
Lu Beiting noticed Xia Zhi's gaze and immediately felt uneasy. He subconsciously tugged at his clothes, trying to hide his unease.

He forced a smile and asked, "Xiaxia, what did the doctor say?"

Lu Beiting took the examination report from Xia Zhi and glanced at it, but the professional medical terms left him completely confused.

He helplessly raised his head and looked at Xia Zhi, his eyes full of questions.

“They are twins,” Xia Zhi said softly, a slight smile on her lips.

Lu Beiting was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with a mixture of surprise and joy. He pulled Xia Zhi into his arms and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Xia Xia."

At that moment, he felt that all the pain he had endured was worthwhile.

Xia Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly, gently pushed Lu Beiting away, crossed her arms over her chest, stared intently at him, and questioned, "Tell me, where did you go just now?"

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily moved downwards, landing on Lu Beiting's lower body.

Could it be that he went to get a circumcision? But it doesn't look like it.

Lu Beiting's ears turned bright red instantly. His eyes darted around, and he stammered, "It's nothing, just something came up."

"Fine, don't tell me then!" Xia Zhi pretended to be angry, turned her head away angrily, and walked away.

When Lu Beiting saw that Xia Zhi was really angry, he panicked. He quickly chased after her, shouting as he ran, "Xia Xia, don't be angry, I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

He ran up to Xia Zhi, stopped, took a deep breath, and mustered his courage to say, "I...I got my tubal ligation done."

When he said the last three words, his voice was so soft it was like a mosquito buzzing, as if he were a little embarrassed.

Xia Zhi suddenly stopped and slowly turned around, her eyes filled with surprise and emotion.

She never expected that Lu Beiting would make such a decision for her.

"Aren't you afraid you're having a girl?"

Xia Zhi asked softly, "In this era where the idea of ​​valuing sons over daughters is still quite prevalent, does he really not care at all?"

"Boys or girls are both fine."

Lu Beiting said without hesitation. After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that the doctor had said that pregnant women are the most sensitive, so he quickly added a sentence.

"As long as you're okay, anything is fine. In my heart, your health is the most important thing."

Xia Zhi's eyes reddened slightly. She pursed her lips, reached out and tugged at Lu Beiting's sleeve, gently shaking it. "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." Lu Beiting hugged Xia Zhi again and gently stroked the top of her head.

"Okay, I'll make sure you get plenty of nourishing food when we get back."

The group walked out of the hospital.

When Shen Changming learned that Xia Zhi had come to the city, he didn't have time to think. He immediately raised his voice and ordered the people around him, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority: "Quickly, prepare the car! To the hospital!"

After saying that, he hurried toward the garage, his cane striking the ground heavily with each step, making a "thud-thud" sound.

The hospital entrance was bustling with people, noisy and chaotic.

Shen Changming stood in the crowd, leaning on his crutches, while people anxiously searched for him at the hospital entrance.

Finally, he spotted Xia Zhi and Lu Beiting's group, who were about to leave.

"Master, it's Miss Xia!" Shen Changming's eyes lit up upon hearing this, his face beaming with smiles. He strode towards them, muttering, "Finally found you!"

"Hey, Xia, why didn't you tell me you were coming with Beiting? Go stay with Grandpa Shen. You left in such a hurry last time, I haven't even had a chance to properly thank you yet." Shen Changming stood in front of Xia Zhi, his tone full of concern and warmth.

If Hangzhi hadn't called him beforehand, he would have been completely unaware that the two of them had arrived.

"Grandpa Shen, how can we do this?" Xia Zhi said somewhat shyly, a faint blush rising on her face.

"What's wrong with that? It just so happens that Grandpa Shen wants to ask you for a favor." Shen Changming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hearing this, Xia Zhi hesitated for a moment, but looking at Shen Changming's sincere eyes, she couldn't refuse. So she nodded gently and agreed.

Once inside the car, the atmosphere became somewhat quiet.

Shen Changming, sitting in the front row, glanced back at Lu Beiting in the back seat, a hint of doubt and concern in his eyes. He asked curiously, "What's wrong with Beiting? Didn't you say you were better last time? This..."

"My leg injury is healed. I suffered a minor injury in the earthquake a while ago, but it's nothing serious." Lu Beiting smiled slightly, revealing a polite smile, and responded in a calm and gentle voice.

Shen Changming nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions. The car fell into a brief silence again.

Lu Beiting held Xia Zhi's hand, but his mind was filled with many thoughts.

Over the years, he knew very well that the Shen family had always blamed him for Shen Hangzhi's trip to the border.

Every time I met the Shen family, they mostly gave me a cold shoulder, except for Shen Changming.

The thought of Shen Taishan gave Lu Beiting a headache. He wondered if Xia Xia had been mistreated when she came last time.

Soon, the car came to a smooth stop in front of the Shen family's residence.

This is an impressive house, with red walls, green tiles, and surrounded by green trees, showcasing the extraordinary status of its owner.

As soon as Lu Beiting and Xia Zhi got out of the car, they saw Shen Taishan standing at the door.

Lu Beiting subconsciously pursed his lips, and unconsciously tightened his grip on Xia Zhi's hand.

When Shen Taishan saw Lu Beiting's wary, thief-like expression, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

He then turned his gaze to Xia Zhi, a slightly stiff smile appearing on his face, and said, "Xia Zhi is here, come inside."

Upon entering the house, a fragrant aroma of food wafted through the air.

Yu Qing had already instructed the housekeeper to prepare a sumptuous meal, just waiting for them to come back and eat.

"Xia's here! The food is ready, please have a seat." Yu Qing greeted her warmly with a friendly smile.

"Thank you, Aunt Shen," Xia Zhi replied sweetly.

Lu Beiting carefully helped her sit down. After the host started eating, he got up and served Xia Zhi a bowl of steaming soup with gentle and skillful movements.

During the meal, several people would occasionally steal glances at Lu Beiting, their eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

Lu Beiting, however, remained calm and composed as he ate his meal, taking meticulous care of Xia Zhi, serving her food and reminding her to eat slowly.

Zhang Yi and the others clearly sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, and they even unconsciously ate much more quietly.

On the contrary, the person involved seemed oblivious to everything and continued to do as he pleased.
