Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Luo Zhiming’s voice was small, but his tone was adamant, "Big brother, Haohao is my child. I even took him to the hospital for a test yesterday, it’s true."

Luo Zhiyong was speechless with anger and almost hissed through clenched teeth, "I told you blood tests aren’t reliable. If you randomly pull a child off the street, it’s likely half of them will have the same blood type as Haohao. Does that make them all your children?"

Luo Zhiming couldn’t refute, but after a moment, still insisted very determinedly, "I don’t care, I want to take the child back from the Fang Family."

Initially, Luo Zhiming simply insisted that the child was his without demanding custody. Now, he even said he wants to take the child from the Fang Family, which infuriated Luo Zhiyong to the point of nearly resorting to violence.

He gasped several times, then, hands on hips, pointed at Luo Zhiming and said, "Who do you think you are? You want the child when you feel like it, and discard him when you don’t? They’ve raised the child till now, and you just decide to take him back? Where is your conscience?"

As he spoke, Luo Zhiyong recalled something else that seemed off, looking at Luo Zhiming and saying, "Moreover, isn’t Xu He pregnant at your place? Can’t you just focus on your work and then go back and properly raise that child, a child you can confirm is yours? Why are you still disputing over Haohao?"

"I..." Luo Zhiming was suddenly at a loss for words, not even knowing why himself. Ever since suspecting Haohao was his child, he had completely neglected to consider Xu He’s side.

Prompted by Luo Zhiyong, Luo Zhiming then realized that his demand to take the child back was impulsive, and he was struck dumb, unable to speak.

Seeing him like this, Luo Zhiyong added, "Let me put it another way, even if you really do take Haohao, what’s your plan? How are you going to explain it to Xu He? How do you plan to raise the child?"

Luo Zhiming always acted impulsively, indulging in momentary pleasures without considering the consequences. After suspecting Haohao was his son, his first reaction was joy at finally having a son, without thinking how he would raise him.

Seeing his expression, Luo Zhiyong felt there was no point in continuing the discussion and said directly, "Let me tell you, no matter what, don’t go bothering the Fang Family again or cause them any trouble, otherwise, you can get yourself back to Luojia Village."

After addressing Luo Zhiming, Luo Zhiyong turned to Luo Dashan because when he returned and found Luo Zhiming here discussing Haohao, Luo Dashan had appeared happy, though he hadn’t directly spoken of taking Haohao back to the Luo Family nor had he contradicted Luo Zhiming.

It was evident that in Luo Dashan’s heart, there was at least a small part that supported Luo Zhiming’s idea.

Thus, Luo Zhiyong lowered his voice, almost pleadingly looked at Luo Dashan and said, "Dad, you know the harm our Luo Family has caused the Fang Family. Their family had two lovely daughters marry into our family, not to mention the hardships they faced, but also made them divorcees. Now that they are divorced, we still won’t let them have peace. Not to mention how I will face Pingying, even facing Ruirui and Yaoyao, I have no face."

Luo Dashan glanced at Luo Zhiyong, sighed, and said nothing.

Luo Zhiyong continued, "Luo Zhiming, Dad, I’m begging you, don’t scheme against Haohao. Even if he truly is a grandson of the Luo Family, let it be. If you want to see him, just visit him from time to time. As long as you notify Fang Xiu or Yuchun, they won’t stop you. Don’t ask for more."

Luo Dashan thought for a while, feeling that Luo Zhiyong’s words weren’t wrong, especially since the child was being well cared for already, and suddenly wanting him back was indeed over the top. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He nodded, about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Luo Zhiming interrupted him, accusing Luo Zhiyong, "Big brother, don’t make it sound so nice, involving all this conscience, Ruirui, and Yaoyao stuff. Aren’t you just trying not to trouble Fang Pingying? Even though you’re divorced, you still care for her, silently or openly. What’s the point of saying all this?"

These words made Fang Pingying, who was standing at the stairwell, feel as though her heart skipped a beat, very eager to hear how Luo Zhiyong would respond.

There was a clear silence from Luo Zhiyong’s side for a while, before he finally said, "Yes, it’s for Pingying. There’s nothing I can’t admit. Whether we are divorced or together, I will care about her and think of her."

As Luo Zhiyong’s voice fell, Fang Pingying felt her heart flutter slightly. This man sounded so sweet behind her back, so why was he so cold when facing her?

She just couldn’t fathom it!

Following this, Luo Zhiyong spoke again, "Luo Zhiming, you ended up like this precisely because you don’t cherish your wife."

Remembering his past with Fang Xiu, Luo Zhiming blushed, wanting to rebut but found himself unable to. He moved his lips but ended up saying nothing.

Inside, after a moment of silence, Luo Dashan’s voice was heard, "Alright, Zhiming, stop it. Your big brother is right. You’re already settled, Xu He is pregnant with your child, and even if you really know Haohao is your son, what then? Firstly, you can’t afford to raise him, and given Xu He’s personality, she wouldn’t let you. It’s better if Haohao stays with Fang Xiu; at least he’s well-taken care of at the Fang’s. If you truly care about Haohao, just come and see him more often. I’ll clarify things with the Fang Family."

"I..." Luo Zhiming was still somewhat reluctant, wanting to argue.

But Luo Dashan, with a stern face, cut him off, "Enough, do as your big brother said and stop arguing."

Luo Zhiming was fundamentally dissatisfied with the decision Luo Dashan and Luo Zhiyong made, but he also couldn’t solve the problem of taking Haohao back, so he resentfully said, "I can’t be bothered to talk with you anymore, I’m leaving."

When Luo Zhiming was downstairs, at the stairwell, he saw Fang Pingying and paused. While walking away, he muttered, "Hmph, neither of them is anything good."

Fang Pingying glanced at Luo Zhiming, too lazy to speak to him.

However, Luo Zhiyong’s words did somewhat touch her, yet she still couldn’t understand why, if he still valued her so highly, he treated her that way.

Fang Pingying shook her head, no longer wanting to think about it. She stood at the corner for a while, intending to turn back. As for Zhou Guangsheng’s matter, she planned to talk to Zhao Longsheng nearby, letting him handle it.

Zhao Longsheng was the chief of their military district and would surely know about this.

But just as she was about to turn around, Luo Honglan, who was probably watching Luo Zhiming leave downstairs, came up with the two kids. (Recently Si Ye has been a bit busy, sometimes running around outside, updates might be a bit irregular, please bear with us.
