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

Chapter 148 Just her?

Xia Zhi stood quietly to the side, watching Qin Mingshan's back take several solid hits from the cane, the "thump thump" sounds particularly clear in the silent space.

With a slight upturn of her lips, she raised an eyebrow in an innocent manner, secretly amused by Qin Mingshan's discomfiture.

Qin Mingshan caught a glimpse of Xia Zhi's subtle expression out of the corner of his eye, and immediately felt a surge of anger rush to his head, wishing he could rush up and argue with Xia Zhi right away.

But when he looked up and saw Qin Wang standing there with a dignified expression, the rebuttal that was about to come out of his mouth was pulled back by an invisible hand.

He could only grit his teeth, let out a heavy snort through his nose, and walk quickly and heavily to the sofa. He plopped down on the sofa, which shook slightly as if protesting his raging anger.

"Uncle Qin, is there something you need from me?"

Seeing Qin Mingshan's discomfiture, Xia Zhi stopped teasing him. Her smile vanished instantly, and her expression turned serious as she got back to the point and asked.

"Oh, it's like this, Miss Xia, I have a friend..."

As soon as Qin Wang opened his mouth, Xia Zhi understood his intention instantly after hearing only the beginning.

Before Qin Wang could finish speaking, she nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Qin Wang was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Xia Zhi to agree so readily.

However, he quickly realized what was happening, smiled, and said gratefully, "Then Uncle Qin thanks you in advance."

Xia Zhi wore a sweet smile and spoke softly.

"Uncle Qin, just call me Xia Xia. But your friend might have to wait a couple of days. Grandpa Shen also has a friend who needs my help."

"Okay, any day is fine with us, you can arrange it."

Qin Wang smiled and agreed, then turned to instruct the servants beside him to prepare the meal.

The maid gave a slight bow and hurried off to the kitchen.

"Uncle Qin, we won't stay for dinner. Grandpa Shen and Uncle Shen are still waiting for us at home."

Seeing Qin Wang's enthusiastic invitation, Xia Zhi quickly declined.

"Oh? Is that so? Then next time, you must come next time." Although Qin Wang was a little disappointed, he couldn't persuade him to stay any longer, so he could only nod with a smile.

"Next time for sure, Uncle Qin, we'll head back now." Xia Zhi said goodbye to Qin Wang and then turned to leave.

As Qin Wang watched the two figures depart, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

A hint of expectation flickered in his eyes, hoping that Xia Zhi could truly bring about a miracle.

Looking at his father's expression, Qin Mingshan felt that he had overestimated this woman.

Looking at Qin Wang, Qin Mingshan raised an eyebrow and questioned, "Dad, Second Uncle has cerebral palsy. The doctor said long ago that it can't be cured. Besides, this woman doesn't seem to have any ability. Why are you bothering her?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wang glared at him fiercely, his tone carrying a hint of reproach:

"Shen Changming's illness was cured by Xia Zhi. The hospital had said there was nothing they could do, but she cured him anyway."

And Lanlan too. She's been frail for so many years, and everyone said she wouldn't live long. But you saw it during the New Year; she clearly had more energy and spirit.

Whether it can cure me or not, I have to try.

Qin Mingshan moved his lips, wanting to refute, but the words just wouldn't come out.

He opened his mouth, made a few muffled sounds, but in the end said nothing, turned around and went upstairs.

The next morning, Shen Changming took Xia Zhi to the hospital. Everything was already prepared at the hospital; the doctors wore neat white coats, and the nurses wore masks, their eyes filled with tension and anticipation, all waiting for Xia Zhi's arrival.

As soon as Xia Zhi arrived, she methodically asked for a series of medical records. Her slender fingers gently flipped through the records, her expression serious.

Then, a full examination was performed on the patient on the spot.

After confirming the patient's condition, she took a deep breath and prepared to begin the surgery.

"Dr. Xia, may we go in to observe and learn?"

Behind the dean were several doctors holding notebooks, their faces full of anticipation.

In order to better observe the surgery, they immediately arranged for the operating room to be expanded after learning the news.

Inside the operating room, the newly added equipment was neatly arranged, and the shadowless lamps emitted a bright light.

"I have no problem with that, but I'd still like to respect the patient's wishes," Xia Zhi replied with a smile.

All eyes turned to Zhao Fudong, who was lying on the hospital bed. Zhao Fudong was Shen Changming's good friend and savior.

Upon hearing their request, Zhao Fudong agreed without hesitation, saying, "It is my honor to contribute to the medical field." Although his voice was weak, it was filled with determination and pride.

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with awe and respect, their eyes brimming with admiration.

Since Xia Zhi raised the improvement request last time, the hospital's surgical tools have become much more refined, and many aspects have been optimized and improved.

The brand-new scalpel gleamed coldly under the light.

Lu Beiting, Shen Changming, and others waited anxiously outside the operating room.

Lu Beiting paced back and forth at the door, his steps hurried and heavy, the soles of his shoes making a "clattering" sound as they rubbed against the ground.

Shen Changming sat in the chair, watching Lu Beiting walk around in front of him. His eyes started to hurt after a while.

“Beiting, I know you’re worried about Xia, but don’t worry too much. There are so many doctors inside, nothing will happen,” Shen Changming advised earnestly, his voice gentle and filled with the concern of an elder.

"Ah."

Lu Beiting stopped, but his eyes remained fixed on the operating room door, as if he wanted to dig a hole in it to keep an eye on what was happening inside.

Shen Changming sighed helplessly, but thankfully he finally stopped swaying.

He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and silently prayed for the surgery to go smoothly.

Lu Beiting knew he was too nervous, but he just couldn't control himself.

It's a strange feeling, as if a string in your heart is tightly stretched and you can't let it go.

The operating room lights finally went out, and Lu Beiting straightened up as if he were a spring.

Upon seeing Xia Zhi emerge, he rushed forward, supporting her in a single stride, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeve and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead. His movements were gentle, and his eyes were full of tenderness and concern.

"It's alright, I'm fine." Xia Zhi forced a tired smile and looked at Shen Changming behind him. "Grandpa Shen, the surgery was a success."

"Alright, alright, good child, go and rest now." Shen Changming looked at her with a face full of gratitude.

If he doesn't rest soon, Lu Beiting will probably get anxious and upset again.
