Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Because of Fang Xiu's previous life experiences, Fang Pingying also started to worry about her.

Originally, she thought things would be different in this life, hoping Fang Xiu's circumstances could change as well, but now that Fang Xiu still hadn't conceived, she felt it was time to pay attention.

She made up an excuse to get Luo Zhiyong to tidy up the items in the top hanging cabinet of the shop. Luo Honglan went to help, and she called Fang Xiu into the inner room, whispering, "Xiu'er, have you had any news about your body?"

Fang Xiu sighed with a disappointed face, "No, my period just ended a few days ago."

"Have you and Zhiming met recently?" Asking this, Fang Pingying felt somewhat embarrassed, after all, it was the private business between a couple.

Fang Xiu's face also turned red but she honestly replied, "We have. He generally comes over every few days."

"Then about you and your husband, have you been..."

"We used to." Fang Xiu said, somewhat angered, "But ever since that woman's incident, there has been nothing, and now I get somewhat annoyed seeing him."

This was something Fang Pingying didn't feel right to comment on. Any woman encountering such a situation would probably be disconcerted for a while.

But even if nothing happened recently, there was always the past, and she thought it safer for Fang Xiu to visit a hospital. So she suggested,

"Otherwise, I'll accompany you to the hospital later to see. If there's any issue with your health that's preventing you from getting pregnant, it's better to treat it while you're young. If there's nothing, at least you can be at ease, and we might also ask the doctor why you haven't been able to conceive."

"Okay, let's go now." Fang Xiu was willing to go, but she glanced outside and whispered to Fang Pingying, "But can we not let Big Brother and Hong Lan know? I'm afraid if there is something wrong with me, Zhi Ming's mother will pressure me."

Fang Pingying nodded, "Don't think too much now, let's head to the hospital first."

Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu came out of the house, Fang Pingying said to Luo Zhiyong, "Zhiyong, Xiu'er and I are going out for a bit, can you help tidy up the shop for me? We'll head back to the main compound afterward."

Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong immediately frowned and approached, "Where are you going? I can go buy things if needed, it's awfully cold outside."

"It's nothing, there's just a dress Xiu'er took a liking to, she asked me to help check it out, it's not far ahead." Not wanting Luo Zhiyong to know the situation, Fang Pingying just made up an excuse.

Luo Zhiyong, upon hearing it was such a minor matter, was reluctant for Fang Pingying to go out. In his view, his wife's unborn child was as fragile as anything, and he was worried whenever it wasn't under his observation, especially going out on the street.

He put down what he was organizing, "Then I'll go with you, we can tidy up after we get back."

Luo Honglan and Fang Xiu, seeing Luo Zhiyong so anxious, immediately started laughing, Fang Xiu even said, "Big Brother, when did you suddenly become such a worrywart."

"Women's matters, why are you joining the fuss?" Fang Pingying scolded him lightly, "Go do your work, don't become the laughingstock, I'll be careful, it's not far, we'll be back soon."

Luo Zhiyong, embarrassed by the laughter of Luo Honglan and Fang Xiu, felt he indeed might have overreacted and helplessly nodded, "Alright then, come back quickly."

Fang Pingying nodded and left with Fang Xiu.

They went to the same hospital Fang Pingying had checked for pregnancy earlier, and it was the same doctor as well. To support our work, please read on M|V|LE_MPYR.

The doctor, a kind-looking man in his forties, saw Fang Pingying had returned and asked her with a smile, "Young lady, is there something else you didn't understand?"

Fang Pingying waved her hand and pointed at Fang Xiu, "No, doctor, it's my sister here that I've brought to see you for treatment."

"What symptoms?"

Fang Pingying nodded to Fang Xiu, gesturing for her to speak for herself.

Fang Xiu bit her lip and said softly, "It's been some time since we got married, but I haven't been able to conceive. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my body."

"I see." The doctor, seemingly accustomed to this type of concern, smiled kindly and handed Fang Xiu several forms. "Go get the tests done as prescribed, and then come back in a few days to collect the results."

Fang Pingying nodded, and she followed the doctor's orders with Fang Xiu as they went to different parts of the hospital for testing.

These tests were quite tedious, and it took them over two hours in the hospital. By the time they caught the bus home, it was already dark.

As they approached their store, they saw Luo Zhiyong standing at the entrance, looking around.

Upon seeing them, Luo Zhiyong hurried over in long strides.

He first glanced over Fang Pingying from top to bottom, and seeing that she was alright, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

Then his brow furrowed, and he looked at her angrily, admonishing, "What's going on with you? Didn't you just say you were looking at clothes nearby? Why are you only back now? From now on, you're not allowed to go out without my permission."

Fang Pingying, seeing that he seemed genuinely angry and that his tone was so unpleasant, thought that this was not the way to show concern for someone.

A pregnant woman is not supposed to get angry. His yelling made her uncomfortable, and she wanted to vent, responding irritably, "I'm back now, aren't I? What's with the fuss? Is your child that important to you?"

Luo Zhiyong saw that not only did she not recognize her mistake, but her attitude was also poor. He frowned at her, his expression turning cold, "Let's go back to the courtyard; there won't be buses later."

"I don't want to go back today; you can go by yourself." Fang Pingying couldn't stand his indifferent demeanor and said spitefully.

"You..." Luo Zhiyong had already taken a couple of steps towards the bus stop, but upon hearing Fang Pingying's words, he turned around, his brows tightly furrowed as he stared at her.

Fang Xiu, seeing Luo Zhiyong's reaction, feared that Fang Pingying might lose her temper and softly persuaded her, "Big sister, just go back. Otherwise, big brother will get really angry."

Seeing his impatient look only aggravated Fang Pingying more, and she replied coldly with a huff, "Let him be angry if he wants to; nobody's a soldier under his command to be scolded at his whim."

After saying that, Fang Pingying pulled Fang Xiu, intending to go back to the store.

Unexpectedly, Luo Zhiyong quickly stepped in front of her, his face dark as he asked, "Are you coming back or not?"

"Not going ba..."

"Ah!" The word 'back' hadn't even fully left Fang Pingying's mouth when Luo Zhiyong had already scooped her up sideways. She couldn't help but let out a low cry and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Luo Zhiyong glared at her, "Don't move around; it's dark, and falling to the ground wouldn't be fun."

Though it was dark and the streets weren't crowded, there were still people around, and being carried like this was inappropriate. Fang Pingying struggled for a bit and glared at him fiercely, "Put me down; I can walk by myself."

"Are you sure you want to go back to the courtyard?" Luo Zhiyong raised an eyebrow at her, but the anger in his heart dissipated completely due to her having held onto his neck earlier.

"Going back." Fang Pingying gritted her teeth, this shameless man.

Luo Zhiyong gave her a look and then put her down. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please support us by casting your recommendation votes or monthly ticket at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
