Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Unable to Do IVF 2 More (4)

"Gynecological exam, Mr. Qin... you have to leave."

"Alright."

The man had his own set of exams to do. Qin Mu gave a long, deep glance at the small, tense woman lying on the surgical table and pressed his lips together.

...

After Qin Mu and his secretary left, Lula greeted Mu Wan proactively. Most women coming for IVF treatments were somewhat confused and nervous at first. Relaxing the mind was crucial early on.

"Miss Mu, hello, I’m Lula..."

"Hello."

Faced with Lula’s warmth, Mu Wan forced a faint smile at the corners of her lips, but her small hands remained icy cold.

Understanding what the other was saying, Mu Wan felt a little less uneasy... yet still carried a sense of humiliation.

"Miss Mu, can you tell me when your last period was?"

"Half a month ago..."

"That’s good, it’s likely your ovulation period is coming up soon. I’m going to help retrieve your eggs."

"Alright."

Mu Wan pressed her lips together, lowered her beautiful eyes, and hid her sorrow.

"Miss Mu, why did you choose to pursue IVF?"

Mu Wan: "..."

It was the kind of question every doctor frequently asked.

Mu Wan clenched her small hands and forced a faint smile.

"Because of infertility."

Mu Wan chose to take the blame upon herself...

She couldn’t very well say that her husband never had any inclination for physical intimacy with her. They needed a child to hold their lives together.

"Understood."

Lula was insightful and, upon hearing Mu Wan’s answer, decided not to ask further.

"Miss Mu, now... you’ll need to take off your pants, otherwise I can’t proceed with the examination..."

Mu Wan: "..."

In front of a stranger...

Mu Wan felt a mix of shyness and tension, her face pale and bloodless, as she bit down on her lip.

"Okay."

Mu Wan took a deep breath, her small hands attempting to undo the belt around her waist, but for some reason, she just couldn’t get it undone.

Lula found herself in a bit of a predicament...

A married woman, supposedly, wouldn’t be so inexperienced, right?

Could it be... she was still a young girl?

"Ahem... Miss Mu, may I ask... have you and Mr. Qin... never been intimate? You know, the kind of thing between a man and a woman."

Mu Wan: "..."

Hearing Lula’s question, Mu Wan froze for a moment, then clenched her small hands tightly.

"Yes!"

Lula: "..."

This...

Lula found herself in even more of a bind. Looking at Mu Wan, she tentatively asked, "Miss Mu... have you ever had intimacy with any man before? I mean... sexual intimacy."

Mu Wan: "..."

Mu Wan bit her lip lightly, almost to the point of drawing blood.

Finally... Mu Wan shook her head.

She had never been intimate with a man before...

Lula was stunned, her expression changing slightly. This pristine, fair-skinned woman was actually married to that devilishly handsome man from earlier, and yet they had never shared a married life in the true sense.

Lula spread her hands and reached out gently, holding Mu Wan’s small, nervous hands that were still working at her belt.

"Miss Mu, hold on... I think I need to consult Mr. Qin about this..."

Mu Wan’s stunning eyes widened, and she instinctively asked, "I... can’t do IVF, can I?"

Of course not.

Lula tugged at the corners of her mouth. The process of examinations, egg retrieval, and operations would certainly have an impact on a woman’s physical anatomy.

Lula pressed her lips together and tentatively asked, "This still needs to be checked, but may I ask why you don’t want to have a child with Mr. Qin naturally?"

"Sorry... I don’t want to say."

"Got it. Then Miss Mu, do you love Mr. Qin? Otherwise... why endure such humiliation to go through IVF?"

Lula was an experienced gynecologist... Usually, the women who proactively sought these procedures... were because the men had issues.

Women... endured because of love.

That was the case most of the time...

If it were truly the woman’s problem, most men... would simply choose to find new love elsewhere.

Mu Wan looked at Lula’s firm gaze and pulled the faintest curve at the corner of her lips.

"Yes."

"I understand..."

Lula nodded slightly...

...

When Qin Mu finished his exams, he saw Lula walking out with a serious expression.

"Mr. Qin, I’m sorry. Miss Mu cannot proceed with IVF... If she were to undergo the procedure... it would harm her body as a woman."

Qin Mu’s dark eyes flickered...

So Mu Wan was still... a virgin.

Qin Mu’s expression shifted slightly. During breakfast with Mu Wan that morning, he had assumed she’d been in a previous relationship... or at least had that kind of experience.

Though Mu Wan did indeed exude an unapproachable, ethereal air, like someone untouched by the mundane world.

"Mr. Qin, I suggest you consider conceiving naturally with Miss Mu... After all... resorting to instruments is... exceedingly harsh."

Qin Mu: "..."

"Are you saying... if IVF were pursued, it would harm Mu Wan?"

"Yes... because without causing certain damage, retrieving the egg wouldn’t be possible, nor implanting the fertilized embryo into Miss Mu’s body."

Qin Mu: "..."

"Alright, I understand."

"Okay..."

...

Mu Wan sat up from the surgical table and was adjusting her clothes when Qin Mu pushed the door open and walked in.

Mu Wan’s delicate eyes widened, and she saw an unreadable intensity in the man’s dark pupils.

Mu Wan was still unaware that she couldn’t proceed with IVF. Seeing Qin Mu’s somber demeanor, she asked softly, "What’s wrong? Did you finish your exams?"

"Yes, I just had some blood drawn."

Mu Wan nodded lightly, then pursed her lips and said, "Um... Lula left halfway through my checkup. Is there a problem?"

"Yes, we’ll talk about it at home."

Mu Wan: "..."

Mu Wan’s heart fluttered slightly at his words, "Let’s talk about it at home."

Even though... the place they were returning to was a presidential suite, not an actual home...

"Okay."

As Mu Wan stepped down from the surgical table, her entire body was tense from nervousness. Her movements were stiff, and as her footing became unsteady, she nearly toppled forward. Just when she thought she was going to hit the ground hard, in the next moment... Qin Mu’s arm reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

"Mu Wan, be careful..."

Mu Wan: "..."

Mu Wan’s stunning eyes were wide with surprise. The familiar scent of the man enveloped her, and the tip of her nose brushed just against his chest.

This was... the first time... Qin Mu had ever physically supported her.

If not for him just now, she would have... fallen.

Realizing how close they were, Qin Mu quickly withdrew his large hand.
