Chapter 349: Chapter 349: The Reason for Being Unable to Have Children

Xi Wanfen originally thought that Liang Zhanbai would be anxious, guilty, and like many TV dramas depict, would explain to her why he and Dang Li were at the bar.

However, it did not happen.

His gaze even had an air of indifference as if to say, guess whatever you want to guess, he didn’t care.

This kind of look stung Xi Wanfen; though she had arrived feeling righteous and confident, in that moment, she felt like she was the one who was superfluous.

She forced a slight smile: "I was passing by after work and saw you guys here."

Liang Zhanbai asked, "So?"

Her tears began to flow in an instant, and at that moment, Dang Li was also gloatingly looking at her, almost as if she were mocking her.

"Then I won’t bother you anymore." Xi Wanfen cried as she turned around and ran out.

When she reached the door, she bumped into Qiu Shuai’s belly, but she didn’t care, only crying as she hopped into her Wuling minicar and drove towards her home.

That night, Qiu Shuai posted a message on his social media: Encountered a little crybaby.

Those who understood him, naturally got it.

Those who didn’t would ask: Where is the cat?

Su Meixi also ’liked’ his post.

She would always check social media before going to sleep, and as long as it was someone she knew who had posted, she would ’like’ it.

...

Putting down her phone, Su Meixi then looked at Gu Wei beside her.

"Not sleeping yet?"

"In a bit." Gu Wei was a dutiful person, even studying materials before bed.

Officials have too many things to deal with - he must rush over even if there was a minor earthquake 500 kilometers away in the middle of the night to review reports, countless reports, overwhelming reports.

Not only did he need to work, but he was also on guard against all kinds of backstabbing - like Shen Jiayi, who recently had been eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey, hoping to catch him off-guard.

Gu Wei decided to strike first to gain the upper hand, once Shen Jiayi made a mistake at work, he would have her removed from her position.

Finally, he finished handling his work.

He lay down and held Su Meixi in his arms.

"Gu Wei, when are we going to move? Not only is the villa well-decorated, but it has also been aired out for some time. I went to check for formaldehyde yesterday, and it’s already at the lowest level, moving in won’t be harmful anymore."

Gu Wei said, "Let’s pick an auspicious day, then hire a moving company."

Su Meixi said, "I really hate to leave the sisters here."

"So we shouldn’t move?"

"No, you don’t belong here anymore; living here any longer may cause others to have opinions." She kissed him and then added, "When we move, we should invite friends over to warm the new house."

"No problem, we can find a good restaurant and have them deliver the food, no need for us to cook ourselves."

"That’s what I was thinking. But I feel we should invite friends in batches, my side in one, your side in another, to avoid the awkwardness of everyone not knowing each other."

"Sounds good."

After they had discussed the plans, Su Meixi snuggled closely to Gu Wei.

Gu Wei’s body warmed up, but he restrained himself.

Mainly because there was an early meeting tomorrow, and Su Meixi also had to go to work; he was worried it might affect everyone’s energy.

In the dark, Su Meixi suddenly said, "Today Wang Bing went to have a 4D ultrasound scan; the baby looks really handsome."

Gu Wei asked, "You can see what the baby looks like in the womb?"

"You can get a general idea."

Gu Wei was silent for a moment before asking her, "Do you also want to have a child?"

"Don’t you want one?"

"I..." Gu Wei thought for a bit and then said, "Let’s go for a health checkup some day to see if there’s any issue."

"Okay." Su Meixi had wanted to bring it up for a while, but she couldn’t bear to trouble him.

What if he found out the problem was with him? What would he do?

"Why don’t we set a time first? How about this Sunday?"

Su Meixi knew he didn’t have meetings on Sundays and, barring any emergencies, he should be able to find the time.

Gu Wei said that wouldn’t be a problem.

...

On Sunday, the couple set off early in the morning.

To protect their privacy, they didn’t go to the Military District Hospital but instead went to the First People’s Hospital. Su Meixi had already made an online appointment, and after waiting for about fifteen minutes upon arrival, they could get tested.

Su Meixi didn’t tell Gu Wei that she had already been checked, and Gu Wei never suspected that the problem could be his.

So when the results came out, the doctor looked at Gu Wei, "What is your occupation, sir?"

Gu Wei replied, "I used to be a soldier."

"Have you ever been seriously injured?"

"Yes, I’ve been injured and poisoned."

The doctor said, "No wonder. Based on the tests, we’ve found that you..."

The doctor, seemingly intimidated by Gu Wei’s presence, didn’t speak bluntly. Instead, he picked up a stapler from the desk, removed the staples, and said to Gu Wei, "Look at this stapler. It isn’t broken and can still function, but it has no staples."

Gu Wei responded bluntly, "Without staples, how can it be used? Your analogy is inappropriate."

The doctor then said, "Let me give you another example. Suppose I put the staples in, but what if they are defective? Even though you have staples and the stapler can be used, to the paper, it’s useless."

Gu Wei asked, "Can you just explain it to me in professional terms?"

"From a professional standpoint, you have sustained too many injuries in the past, which may have damaged the roots, affecting your hormones. But it’s not untreatable," explained the doctor.

Su Meixi asked, "How can it be treated?"

The doctor replied, "To restore the stapler’s function, you need working staples. If you only want to have a child, you can select the best staple from the batch of defective ones for artificial insemination."

Su Meixi had no more questions. She had already done her homework, and now it was up to Gu Wei to decide.

Gu Wei still hadn’t come to terms with the reality; he simply couldn’t accept the truth.

"Doctor, we’ll go back and discuss it. Once we’ve made a decision, we’ll come back to you," he said.

"Sure, our department is the best in Yun City for infertility issues. You’ll definitely come back to us," the doctor confidently stated.

After leaving the hospital, Su Meixi and Gu Wei found a restaurant to have a meal.

Gu Wei remained silent and occasionally laughed at himself in a self-deprecating manner.

He had always thought the problem lay with Su Meixi, had wanted not to pressure her, not to add to her psychological burden, only to discover the issue stemmed from him.

Seeing Gu Wei like this made Su Meixi feel uncomfortable too.

"Gu Wei..." Su Meixi took his hand.

He returned the gesture, holding her hand and murmured, "I really feel like a joke right now."

"Don’t say that. You’ll always be the greatest man in my eyes," she reassured him.

"But, I can’t get you pregnant."

"Nonsense, with proper treatment, it’s still possible," Su Meixi said. "Even if we don’t have kids, we could always get a dog."

Gu Wei laughed at himself again, "I don’t like dogs. I like children."

"Then... shall we seek proper treatment?" she suggested.

Gu Wei said, "Let’s treat it."

He wasn’t one for vanity; if there was an illness, it needed to be treated.

"I’ll send these reports to my brother later and ask him to find a doctor for me. He can surely find the best doctor in the world."
