A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Qin Yuanzheng half-supported and half-embraced Qiao Lanshu, his movements as gentle as if he were holding a fragile porcelain vase, carefully guiding her into the passenger seat.

Before the car door was fully closed, he first looked down to check if she was sitting securely and if the seatbelt was tight, his fingertips trembling slightly.

He didn't say a word the whole way from the hospital.

It's not that I don't want to talk, it's that my mind is a complete mess, buzzing around, and I'm still in a huge daze, even breathing feels unreal.

The doctor's instructions were still echoing in his ears, leaving him in a daze.

Qin Yuanzheng gently closed the passenger door and went around to the driver's seat to sit down.

The car was parked in front of the hospital, the engine was not started, and he just sat there with his fingertips on the steering wheel, not moving for a long time.

The carriage was quiet, and even the sound of the wind outside the window was exceptionally clear.

Qiao Lanshu turned her head to look at him. The man's profile was tense, and his usually calm and decisive appearance now revealed a hint of helplessness.

She couldn't help but speak softly, her voice gentle and delicate: "Brother Zheng, what's wrong?"

Qin Yuanzheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he was unable to speak for a moment.

He raised his hand and vigorously wiped his face, as if trying to dispel the dazed feeling, then slowly reached out and gently pinched Qiao Lanshu's slightly cool fingertips.

The temperature of his palm was frighteningly high, and his voice was extremely low, trembling as he tried to hide it: "Wife, you're pregnant."

This time, it was no longer an uncertain question, but a statement he forced himself to calm down and make, word by word.

Seeing his tense expression, Qiao Lanshu couldn't help but smile, a faint smile appearing in her eyes. She nodded gently, "Yes, I'm pregnant. Brother Zheng, this is your child, aren't you happy?"

Qin Yuanzheng's face remained tense, his lips pressed into a straight line, and his voice hoarse: "Happy, of course I'm happy."

How could he not be happy?

He used to dream of a wonderful life with a wife, children, and a warm bed.

However, in recent years, he has accepted the fact that he cannot have children.

She even once thought about living a solitary life.

But now, heaven has favored him, not only sending him Qiao Lanshu, but also a child.

Qin Yuanzheng remained silent for a while before saying, "Wife, starting tomorrow, you shouldn't go to work."

He said, "Why don't you just stay home and take good care of yourself during your pregnancy?"

Qiao Lanshu didn't really want to stay at home.

She wasn't a local; she had no relatives, friends, or acquaintances here.

Qin Yuanzheng had to go to the mining area and the military base every day. He was busy with heavy tasks and was often nowhere to be seen.

Leaving her alone in an empty house every day, with no one to talk to, and with the cold outside and deserted streets, she couldn't even find a place to clear her head.

Just thinking about those days makes her feel suffocated.

She was silent for a moment, then looked up at Qin Yuanzheng and said, "Brother Zheng, I'm just looking after the warehouse now. It's easy work, and there's not much to do every day. When someone comes to pick up a package, I just open the door and register it. It's not tiring at all. Why don't you let me continue doing this, and then I'll take maternity leave early when I'm seven months pregnant?"

Once my maternity leave is over and I've recovered enough, the college entrance exams should begin.

She will then take the college entrance exam in the city, so that she can study while also taking care of her family and children, and live a fulfilling life.

Qin Yuanzheng's mind was still in a mess, his thoughts were wandering around, and he couldn't think things through carefully at all.

Seeing Qiao Lanshu's serious attitude, he subconsciously nodded and agreed with her: "Okay, then I'll tell my cousin to take good care of you. No one can let you suffer any injustice."

After saying that, he finally started the car and slowly drove away from the hospital.

The car hadn't gone far in the direction of home when Qiao Lanshu suddenly remembered something and quickly tugged at his arm: "Brother Zheng, we still have to go to work, don't go home first."

Qin Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came to his senses. He had been so focused on the pregnancy that he had completely forgotten about her going to work.

He didn't say anything, but silently turned the steering wheel, turned the car around, and drove to the gate of the food factory.

Even after the car came to a stop, he was still worried and insisted on accompanying Qiao Lanshu inside.

As they walked through the factory area to the small hut where she looked after the warehouse, Qin Yuanzheng's gaze never left her, and he walked very quietly.

Qiao Lanshu reached for the key to open the door, and he put his arm around her waist to protect her, afraid that she would trip over the threshold.

On this day, Qin Yuanzheng spoke little, his eyes were deep, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Perhaps the surprise was too sudden, and the heavy burden fell on him just as suddenly, causing even this usually composed man to panic.

Qiao Lanshu pushed open the door, turned to look at him, her eyes gentle: "Brother Zheng, didn't you say the army was very busy? Chu Liangjun's theft of explosives has caused such a big stir, and now several construction sites are being investigated. The engineering corps definitely can't do without people. You should go to work first, you don't need to stay with me."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuanzheng gently shook his head, his gaze falling on her lower abdomen before returning to her face: "No rush."

"I'll stay here with you for a while."

He and Qiao Lanshu have a child.

It was only two months old, tiny, and still barely a shadow, yet it had truly taken root in his heart.

Qin Yuanzheng's gaze as he looked at Qiao Lanshu was incredibly soft, mixed with an overwhelming sense of disbelief and gratitude.

He had never been so panicked or so at ease in his life.

He gently closed the door behind him, stepped forward, and carefully pulled Qiao Lanshu into his arms, his touch so light he was afraid of breaking her. His voice was low, tinged with a hint of regret: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to get pregnant so quickly."

He sighed softly, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a low voice, "If I had known earlier, I would have definitely taken better precautions."

He hasn't had enough of his time with his partner yet.

He's almost thirty years old and it wasn't easy for him to marry such a perfect wife. He's just started to enjoy married life and is full of enthusiasm, thinking about how much he can cherish her. But then the little one came along so impatiently.

Qin Yuanzheng held her in his arms, and couldn't help but lower his head, his gaze gently falling on her still flat stomach, his eyes complex yet tender.

"You're still so young, and you're already going to have to endure the hardships of being a mother."

His voice was hoarse, "I'm sorry."

Qiao Lanshu was both amused and exasperated.

She looked up at him and said earnestly in a soft voice, "You don't need to apologize. I love children, and I'm overjoyed that I'm pregnant."

She had previously felt regret that she couldn't give him a son or daughter;

Now that my wish has come true, I am overjoyed.

Qin Yuanzheng felt a pang of sadness. He suddenly tightened his arms around her, holding her tightly in his embrace, his voice hoarse with a restrained tremor: "Xiao Qiao, thank you. I will always be good to you for the rest of my life..."

Qiao Lanshu could feel the slight rise and fall of his chest and the slight trembling of his shoulders.

This tough guy, who would bleed without batting an eye in the army, now had tears welling up in her eyes and shed a tear in her arms.

Her heart melted instantly. She gently raised her hand, patted his back, and said softly, "I know you're already being very good to me."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a man's voice: "Is the warehouse manager here? Please open the door, I've come to pick up some goods."

The two froze instantly and quickly separated.

Qiao Lanshu gestured for Qin Yuanzheng to be quiet and whispered, "Stay inside for a while, don't go out, so no one can see you."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng sat at the very back of the small house, watching Qiao Lanshu leave him, take the key, open the door, and go out.

Qin Yuanzheng was a little unhappy. He was Qiao Lanshu's husband, not someone who came to have an affair. Why was he acting so sneaky?
