Chapter 131 Knowing I’m Pregnant

Lizhan and his men were resting in this camp for a few days after completing their mission. They would set off again when their new mission was over, so they were not allocated any brick and tile houses and all lived in tents.

After entering the tent, Li Zhan put Xia Juanjuan down, motioning her not to move. He fumbled for a match, lit one and was about to light the oil lamp.

After lighting the match, I found that the oil lamp was gone, and instead there were two red candles.

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

After lighting the red candles and looking around, I saw a bright red quilt on the cot and a couple of wedding characters cut out of red paper were pasted on the walls of the tent, which looked very festive.

No wonder these bastards wouldn't let him enter the tent, it turned out it was secretly arranged like this.

It’s... quite thoughtful.

Xia Juanjuan also looked around the tent and couldn't help but glance at Lizhan, scolding him: "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I was not mentally prepared at all. In front of so many of your comrades and superiors, I must have made a big fuss..."

Li Zhan scratched his head and decided to confess: "I didn't know about this matter beforehand..."

No wonder Brother Fu sent him to the mountains for two days and one night of outdoor training. It turned out that he was arranging these things for him...

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Zhan with some sadness: "Then...this wedding was not your wish, either?"

Could it be that...her excitement, shyness and emotion today were all caused by her misunderstanding and she was just willing?

Lizhan quickly explained: "The wedding is my wish. I was planning to take a leave these few days to go back and make up for the wedding with you! But the teacher did not agree to my leave application. I was planning to keep asking for leave until he agreed. Who knew that they sent me away and secretly took you in... Juanjuan, if this wedding is not what I want, then curse me to be struck by lightning..."

Xia Juanjuan heard him cursing and couldn't help but quickly covered his mouth: "It's fine as long as you want it, why curse..."

Li Zhan grabbed Xia Juanjuan's hand, his dark eyes were deep and bottomless: "Juanjuan, I can lie and say that I arranged all this. Brother Fu, Bai Zihan and other brothers will definitely help me to cover up this lie and prevent you from discovering the truth. But I don't want to lie to you. If I lie to you about this, then what kind of person would I be? Not only would I take advantage of Brother Fu and the brothers' goodwill, but my heart towards you would also not be pure, would it?"

Xia Juanjuan felt a little nervous when he mentioned "his heart" and tried to pull her hand back: "I...I know. Isn't it okay if I don't blame you?"

Li Zhan looked at her and asked softly, "Is it really not strange?"

Xia Juanjuan looked at him, shook her head, and sighed, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can find loopholes. How could you use your identity to seek personal gain? If you said you would go back and hold a wedding with me, I would believe it. If you said you would send someone to pick me up in the military camp and hold a military wedding, I would definitely understand after today that you were lying."

There was a flash of surprise in Lizhan's eyes, which then turned into infinite tenderness.

He kissed Xia Juanjuan's palm and smiled softly, "The one who knows me best is my wife."

Outside the tent, Fu Beifa, Bai Zihan and others couldn't help but curse Lizhan Chou in their hearts.

Fu Beifa: This brat is using their feelings as a way to coax his wife! He even boasts of being a man of high moral character!

Bai Zihan: Why are you talking so much nonsense? Don’t you know that a night of love is worth a thousand gold?

Others: The boss is really patient. With such a good daughter-in-law, why doesn’t he pounce on her like a vicious wolf?

…

Xia Juanjuan blushed and took the opportunity to withdraw her hand: "I didn't compliment you, but you're showing off!"

Li Zhan chuckled twice, then picked up the thermos in the room and said, "Sit for a while, I'll go to the water room and get you some hot water."

Having said that, he took the kettle and was about to go out.

As soon as he moved, there was a rustling noise outside. Even Xia Juanjuan noticed it and couldn't help asking, "What's that noise outside?"

Lizhan's face darkened, but he said calmly, "It's okay. This place is deserted and there are many night owls."

He left the tent and did not go to get water. Instead, he looked around the tent and indeed caught quite a few people eavesdropping around the wall.

Bai Zihan chuckled twice, then looked up at the sky: "Today's moonlight is so charming, it's a good day to enjoy the moon..."

Lizhan looked up at the sky. It was the beginning of the month, where did the moon come from?

Bai Zihan laughed dryly twice, and suddenly saw Fu Beifa, who was walking back with his hands behind his back, and shouted, "Commander, you're out for a walk too!"

Fu Beifa turned around and glared at Bai Zihan fiercely, then he also looked up at the sky and said seriously: "Well, the stars are nice tonight, let's go out and take a look."

Li Zhan: "..."

After all the wolves had dispersed, Lizhan went to fetch water.

Xia Juanjuan, however, had already fallen asleep on the camp bed with her clothes on.

Lizhan looked at her tenderly, couldn't help but sigh, put down the kettle, and went over to unbutton her clothes.

Xia Juanjuan woke up dazedly and asked, "Huh? I fell asleep? Did you fetch water?"

Li Zhan smiled and said, "Well, go to sleep. I'll help you take off your clothes so you can sleep more comfortably. Otherwise, you'll catch a cold tomorrow."

Xia Juanjuan blushed and grabbed his hand, then sat up and said, "No, I won't feel comfortable if I don't wash it..."

As he said this, he mixed cold water with hot water, washed himself, and then lay back down.

Li Zhan had originally thought of enduring it for the night since he saw she was asleep, but now that he saw she was awake, he started to have the same thought again.

He pulled her into his arms, and his big hands moved restlessly on Xia Juanjuan's body. After a short while, he had stripped off most of her clothes.

Xia Juanjuan shyly resisted a little at first, but later she let him do what he wanted.

After all, this wasn't the first time for the two of them, and a short separation was always better than a new marriage...

However, before the last step, Xia Juanjuan suddenly felt nauseous. She pushed Li Zhan away, stuck her head out of the bed, and started to vomit.

Li Zhan was startled and quickly hugged her tightly. While stroking her back, he was extremely worried:

"Juanjuan, what's wrong? Did you eat something upset?"

But they all had the same meal at night, and this was his wedding banquet, so the chefs in the cafeteria must have used the freshest ingredients. This was impossible...

Xia Juanjuan waved her hands and said, "It's okay, don't worry. It's just... it's been like this from time to time these days. Maybe I'm a little tired during this period. I'll be fine after a good sleep..."

Lizhan frowned, calculated the time in his mind, and asked, "Juanjuan, you are not... pregnant, are you?"

Xia Juanjuan turned her head and glanced at Li Zhan: "No... no way?"

In fact, when she had some symptoms of nausea, she also suspected it and tried to take her own pulse, but the pulse was a little chaotic and different from the happy pulse explained by the master, so she didn't dare to make a conclusion.

Later, she asked her master to check it, and he said that she was just a little tired. Although her master seemed to be hesitant to talk, it shouldn't be a mistake, right?

Li Zhan poured her a glass of water, asked her to rinse her mouth, and then drank some, saying, "Go to sleep first. Let the military doctor at the camp take a look tomorrow morning."

The next morning, the military doctor said solemnly: "Yes. She is pregnant."

Then she looked at Li Zhan, then at Xia Juanjuan, and scolded him angrily: "You, don't you know that you should see a doctor if you are not feeling well? And you, don't you know how to calculate the date for your own actions? You were pregnant, and you took your wife for a horse ride yesterday? Fortunately, you just took a walk and didn't run. If you had really run, the child would have been lost. I don't know where you would go to cry!"

The two of them lowered their heads after being scolded, not daring to say a word in rebuttal.

Xia Juanjuan secretly glared at Li Zhan. It was all because of this bastard that she got scolded as well... So, she beat him up severely where the doctor couldn't see.

Li Zhan couldn't help but hiss in pain, but quickly held his breath.

The doctor scolded them a few more times, then prescribed some pregnancy-preserving drugs and sent the two of them away.

Within the morning, the news that Lizhan's wife was pregnant spread throughout the camp. However, everyone knew that Lizhan had been married for a while and had even gone back home for a family visit during the Chinese New Year, so there were no rumors.

When everyone saw Xia Juanjuan, they all smiled and congratulated her.

Jiang Wan came over with a smile and told Xia Juanjuan a lot of things to pay attention to, such as food taboos.

She and Fu Beifa have two children, who are now being taken care of by their grandfather in Beijing, so she is quite experienced.

What could Xia Juanjuan say? She had studied Chinese medicine for a long time, but she didn't treat herself. She only realized it now...

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "It's only been almost two months, right? While the body is not too heavy yet, you should quickly prepare the baby's clothes and shoes. But you should also be careful not to overwork yourself, as it is important to protect the fetus... Also, if Lizhan is ignorant and insists on dragging you to do that, you can't let him..."

Xia Juanjuan blushed and said embarrassedly: "Oh, Sister Jiang, is there a fierce battle..."

After saying this, she seemed to be protecting him, and her face couldn't help but turn redder...

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "It's best if he doesn't. If he dares, tell Big Sister and I'll have their teacher punish him!"

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help stamping her feet: "Sister, you still said..."

After chatting for a while, Jiang Wan left.

Li Zhan came back and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, didn't you say anything bad about me again?"
