Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Bai Jing, after hearing Fang Pingying's words, was first somewhat surprised, but then she remembered that her aunt was a gynecologist who happened to be treating Fang Pingying. It wasn't strange that she was mentioned, so she gave Fang Pingying a faint nod. "That's good."

Then she took on an air as if she was unwilling to engage further with Fang Pingying and said to Luo Zhiyong, "Oh right, Zhiyong, you haven't been to work these past few days, staying here the whole time?"

Because of Bai Jing's earlier jibe at Fang Pingying, Luo Zhiyong had already started to form an opinion of her, but because of the camaraderie with Zhou Guangsheng, he did not wish to strain the relationship further. However, he was noticeably less warm towards Bai Jing.

He didn't look at Bai Jing, only tucked the blanket around Fang Pingying a bit more while seeming reluctant to talk more, "Going back and forth."

"New Year's is coming, and the military has a lot of things going on. You'd better not neglect your work," Bai Jing's words sounded like a wife advising her husband, "I heard Zhou Guangsheng saying that there will be evaluations in the military towards the end of the year. If you miss it once, you'll have to wait until the next one, shame."

"There's nothing to regret. In the military, whatever position I'm in, I just do my job," Luo Zhiyong glanced at her and said flatly, "Besides, my wife here is pregnant. How could I not look after her?"

"You really are a good man." Bai Jing praised with a smile, her eyes filled with adoration for Luo Zhiyong, as if he was treating her well.

Fang Pingying frowned while watching her, having never come across such a peculiar woman before.

She was already married, yet here she was, brazenly behaving this way in front of another woman's husband and acting as if it was perfectly natural.

For some reason, Fang Pingying felt that Bai Jing's thinking was somewhat different from ordinary people. If she were really one of those shameless women, she didn't quite seem like it. In front of others, Bai Jing always came across as someone with high standards who looked down on ordinary people – not someone who would forgo her own dignity for a man.

But her infatuation with Luo Zhiyong was indeed somewhat crazy. Fang Pingying figured it must be because Bai Jing could tell that Luo Zhiyong had no reaction to her, otherwise she might have taken it a step further, not caring about anyone else's opinion.

This kind of person, to Fang Pingying, seemed a little mentally troubled.

As long as it was something she wanted, regardless of whether the person involved was willing, she wouldn't care about the opinions of others. She would get it at all costs.

Therefore, Fang Pingying did not want to talk further with her and just watched her coldly.

After Bai Jing finished speaking, Luo Zhiyong just slightly curled his lip in response, and so the three of them fell into silence.

Normally, someone else would have left in such a tense atmosphere, but Bai Jing stayed put.

Fang Pingying, still feeling uncomfortable, was just about to find an excuse to have Luo Zhiyong take her out when, at that moment, Doctor Zhou came in with a nurse to make her rounds. Seeing Bai Jing there, she smiled and called out, "Hey, Xiao Jing, you came too? Are you here to visit Xiao Fang?"

As soon as Bai Jing saw Doctor Zhou, she became exceptionally affectionate, immediately walking up to her and linking arms, smilingly saying, "Yep, we all live in the same compound, and I heard you talking about their situation at home yesterday, so I thought I'd come over today to see."

Fang Pingying observed Doctor Zhou hesitating slightly, presumably because Bai Jing didn't usually show such enthusiasm to Doctor Zhou.

Probably because she wanted to catch Luo Zhiyong's attention, thinking that earlier her comments about her aunt being able to help as a doctor in this hospital were not deceiving him.

But Luo Zhiyong didn't react too much, he simply greeted Doctor Zhou politely.

Doctor Zhou nodded at Luo Zhiyong, came over and gently pressed Fang Pingying's abdomen, seeing no reaction from her, he asked her, "Xiao Fang, how have you been feeling these past few days?"

Fang Pingying smiled and said, "Pretty good, I've regained my spirits, and my stomach doesn't feel anything anymore."

"Alright, I'll give you an exam later; if there's no major issue, you can be discharged," Doctor Zhou instructed, "After you go home, you need to rest well, remember not to overexert yourself, such incidents must not happen again."

Doctor Zhou was explaining the post-discharge precautions to Fang Pingying, while Luo Zhiyong stood at the foot of the bed, listening carefully.

Fang Pingying then noticed Bai Jing standing by the window. Even though she hadn't spoken, her gaze stayed fixed on Luo Zhiyong's face, the love in her eyes so intense it seemed unable to dissipate.

This wasn't only noticed by Fang Pingying; Doctor Zhou, who was speaking with her, also noticed it—a woman's sensitivity to these matters is always keen...

After finishing explaining the post-discharge matters to Fang Pingying, Doctor Zhou, on her departure, glanced at Bai Jing and somewhat sternly called her away.

Back in the office, once Doctor Zhou had closed the door, she looked at Bai Jing sharply, "Xiao Jing, you're not young anymore, you need to stop being willful, you can't just do whatever you want like before, even if you don't take responsibility for yourself, think about Xiao Zhou, you're married now, have a family, your husband is Xiao Zhou, he should be the only man you have eyes for."

Bai Jing's eyes turned cold, her eyebrows furrowed with impatience, "Had my parents not forced me to marry him, do you think I would fancy someone like Zhou Guangsheng, who has neither talent nor looks?" Thanks for reading—brought to you by M|VL|EMPYR.

"What happened back then, don't you know?" Doctor Zhou continued, then sighed, "Only Xiao Zhou, because he came from the countryside, kind-hearted, after seeing you in my house and taking a liking to you, didn't care about anything else and was willing to marry you."

"I've not treated him unfairly since marrying him. These years, all those relatives and family members from his rural hometown have relied on his monthly wages for support, and now this household is supported by my salary, my parents even have to chip in from time to time." When speaking of Zhou Guangsheng, Bai Jing's expression was full of contempt, as if the person she was talking about was not her husband but someone she looked down upon greatly.

Regarding the couple's affairs, Doctor Zhou didn't have much to say, also understanding her niece's temperament.

She sighed helplessly, still trying to persuade Bai Jing, "Regardless of everything, the past is the past, you shouldn't harbor any other thoughts now."

"I don't," Bai Jing said, glancing at Doctor Zhou with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Doctor Zhou looked at her, frowning slightly, "Do you think the way you look at Xiao Luo can fool many people? You think his wife really doesn't know?"

Speaking of Fang Pingying, Bai Jing seemed utterly indifferent, "If she knows, then so what? A rural woman from the countryside, how capable can she be? I've heard, too, that if it hadn't been for Zhiyong's leg injury and his family pressuring him into marriage, he wouldn't have chosen her."

"You're wrong. Xiao Luo has brought his wife to see me a few times, and I see she's truly no ordinary rural girl. She's sensible, acts appropriately, and even girls from the city with high education don't have her kind of grace," Doctor Zhou shared her observations of how Luo Zhiyong treated Fang Pingying, and, once again, she advised Bai Jing,

"Moreover, Xiao Luo is really good to his wife; he dotes on her deeply. I advise you not to harbor any delusional thoughts, otherwise in the end, you'll only cause trouble for yourself and others."(To be continued.
