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

Chapter 155 The Fierce Peacock
Lu Beiting put his arm around her and gently comforted her, "It's okay, we'll see when the time comes. If you don't pass the exam, there's always the next year. Besides, Xiaxia is so talented, even if she doesn't take the exam, there will be plenty of people vying for her."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi burst out laughing and playfully scolded, "You're not that amazing." Although she said that, she still felt a sweet and happy feeling inside because of Lu Beiting's praise.

Lu Beiting smiled slightly and joked, "Of course there is. Grandpa Shen came to see me a few days ago and said he would break my legs if I dared to stop you from going to the big city."

Xia Zhi looked at him with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in her eyes, and asked, "So what do you think?"

"What can I think? I'll just try my best to keep up. It'll just be busy when I get back."

As Lu Beiting spoke, he took her slightly swollen hand and gently squeezed it.

"Then come on."

Xia Zhi laughed out loud. Although she knew Lu Beiting was just trying to make her happy, she still felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Lu Beiting had no background or family, yet he was able to become a battalion commander, which was already quite remarkable, as he had defeated many people.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi's admiration for Lu Beiting grew even stronger.

Lu Beiting gave a cautious "hmm".

He will definitely try his best to keep up with her pace and walk alongside her.

Behind them, Qin Mingshan and Chen Yao had already laid an ambush.

Upon seeing the suspicious vehicle following Lu Beiting's car, a hint of excitement and vigilance flashed in the eyes of the two men. After exchanging a glance, they immediately began to take action.

If they let these people escape again this time, they really need to reflect on their abilities.

Hearing the various gunshots coming from behind her, Xia Zhi opened her mouth in surprise, not expecting them to move so quickly.

She unconsciously leaned closer to Lu Beiting.

Lu Beiting covered her ears and whispered, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep early. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Hearing the noise behind him, Zhang Yi also sped up, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes focused and determined.

The group quickly made it out of the city.

Zhang Yi glanced at the rearview mirror and, seeing nothing unusual behind or around him, breathed a sigh of relief; they had safely left the city.

The group took turns driving, and arrived safely at the unit three days later.

Xia Zhi got out of the car with Lu Beiting's help, and people around her immediately surrounded her.

"Go away, what are you doing squeezing up here? You're crowding my wife."

Lu Beiting, like protecting a chick, spread his arms wide and held Xia Zhi tightly in his embrace, his eyes full of vigilance and protectiveness, as if everyone around him was a potential threat.

"Hey, Battalion Commander Lu is really treasuring this."

People around him laughed and joked, their faces beaming with relaxed and joyful smiles.

"That's right." Lu Beiting smiled and looked down at Xia Zhi, whose face was slightly flushed, in his arms, his eyes full of doting affection.

This is his treasure.

Xia Zhi was easily embarrassed, and her face immediately turned red after everyone said that.

"We're going back first."

Seeing Xia Zhi blushing with embarrassment, Lu Beiting put his arm around her and walked towards home.

Yan An had already returned to school, and now only Xia Zhi was left at home. "I'm going to the army first. If you need anything, you can ask the aunties around here for help."

Lu Beiting gave her instructions with concern, his eyes full of worry and concern, as if Xia Zhi would be in danger if she left him.

Xia Zhi twitched the corners of her mouth and said helplessly, "No need, I'll go for a walk too, my bones are all limp from sleeping."

As she spoke, she stretched out a big yawn, a look of languor and contentment on her face.

Lu Beiting had no choice but to take her to the military base again.

"You go ahead and get busy, I'll take a walk by myself." Xia Zhi looked at Lu Beiting, who kept turning back to look at her, and silently wiped the fine sweat from her forehead. She felt both touched and that he was being a little too nervous.

"Then you must be careful," Lu Beiting reminded him a couple more times before turning around to get down to business.

Xia Zhi arrived at her small vegetable garden and found that the vegetables were well-managed, with every leaf lush and green, full of vitality.

Looking again at the chickens in the cage, there were more than a dozen more!
"Sister-in-law, Aunt Chen keeps an eye on things for you every day, don't worry." Fan Zhong walked over to her standing at the entrance and said with a smile, his face showing a touch of honesty and enthusiasm.

"They're so fat already, we can kill them and eat them," Xia Zhi said with a smile, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Fan Zhong smiled and explained, "Aunt Chen said these are all for you to nourish your body. She'll stew chicken for you every day after you come back, and she's also collected a lot of eggs to cook brown sugar eggs for you."

"Thank you for your trouble, Sister Chen." Xia Zhi's eyes welled up with tears, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Then, Xia Zhi noticed two chickens that didn't seem to fit in, exclaimed "Eh!" and curiously walked over.

Upon closer inspection, she gasped in surprise, her eyes widening as she saw that the two "chickens" had long crests on their heads and long tails as well.

These aren't chickens, they're clearly peacocks, one green and one white!

"Are these two things easy to care for?" Xia Zhi asked doubtfully, her face showing a hint of surprise and curiosity.

Fan Zhong scratched his head and replied, "They're easy to raise. They usually eat the most and are quite fierce."

Xia Zhi stepped forward and carefully examined the two little creatures. She saw that they were growing well, with strong bodies and full wings.

Good.

Looking at the dozen or so chickens huddled together in the corner, they were clearly afraid of the two peacocks.

Looking at the two peacocks, Xia Zhi thought of Tuanzi on the mountain.

If Tuanzi gets any bigger and wants to find a mate, she won't be able to find one for it.

Thinking this, Xia Zhi frowned, a hint of worry and hesitation on her face. She pondered whether she should send it back to the neighbor next door, where at least there it could find its kind.

Xia Zhi planned to ask Lu Beiting if he knew of any relevant organizations or where forest rangers lived when he returned later.

"Xia, you're here! I've been looking for you for ages." Chen Yan, carrying some things, rushed over to her with a look of urgency and concern on her face.

"Sister Chen, what do you want to see me about?" Xia Zhi asked, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Quick, it's still hot. Eat it while it's hot. I heard from Bei Ting that you're carrying two babies, so you have to be extra careful."

Chen Yan handed her the brown sugar and eggs, her face full of concern and joy.

Xia Zhi blushed as she accepted the gift. Why did Lu Beiting tell everyone everything? Her face showed both shyness and a hint of sweetness.

"Xia, don't worry about Beiting. He's just thinking that if everyone knows, they'll pay more attention to you. If you accidentally fall somewhere in the future, there will be someone to help you up. Don't worry about the people in the army, everything will be fine," Chen Yan comforted her, her eyes full of sincerity and goodwill.

"Okay, Sister Chen." Xia Zhi ate the egg, and her stomach felt much better after finishing the hot bowl.
