Chapter 404: Chapter 404 You Must Guarantee

Ye Yujun knew that once Chen Ningxi made up her mind, nothing could change it. Since she had thought it through, she respected Chen Ningxi’s choice.

"Focus on getting better for now. If you need me or your dad to step in, just let me know," Ye Yujun worried that the Cheng Family might use Chen Ningxi’s illness against her.

Chen Ningxi said, "Let’s talk to Dad when he gets home tonight."

Ye Yujun nodded, her face filled with concern, "Ning Xi, Cheng..."

"Mom," Chen Ningxi understood her worries, "rest assured, Qiao Bei has not shown any disdain since he learned about my condition."

"That’s good. Mom doesn’t want you to suffer any grievance because of this," Ye Yujun said, looking at Chen Ningxi with a heartache. She couldn’t understand why her excellent daughter had to deal with this illness.

Ye Yujun suddenly remembered, "I have a classmate working as a deputy director at a hospital in Shanghai. We can go there for a check-up; there might be more advanced and effective methods."

Chen Ningxi held a glimmer of hope, "Okay, but it has to be next weekend, after I finish the work I have."

Ye Yujun took out her phone, "I’ll contact him right away."

Chen Ningxi looked at the time and got up, "I have to go, it’s time to go to work."

"Ning Xi," Ye Yujun followed her to the entrance, "keep a good mindset and don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

Chen Ningxi smiled, "I know, Mom."

Leaving the Chen Family, Chen Ningxi drove to her workplace.

Just as she entered the office building, Lu Xingyan was coming down the stairs with Master Wu. The two groups briefly crossed paths, and Chen Ningxi kept an unchanged expression as she walked upstairs. As her figure was about to disappear around the stair corner, Lu Xingyan turned to glance back.

At the age of youthful vigor, admiration for a mature woman is hard to brush off quickly.

Even though Lu Xingyan tried to suppress it, he couldn’t help but capture her presence, to the point of waiting by the office window every day just to see her come and go, inexplicably happy if he saw her.

After a busy morning, Cheng Qiaobei finally finished dealing with franchise issues and closed his office door, sending a message to Chen Ningxi.

north: Honey, are you busy?

Chen Ningxi: No, I’m about to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

Cheng Qiaobei called her directly.

Chen Ningxi candidly said, "I went to the hospital this morning, and it’s confirmed that it’s my issue."

She didn’t continue, and the receiver went quiet for a moment.

She heard some rustling on the other end, likely Cheng Qiaobei stood up from his chair and walked to the window. She could hear the wind and the sound of a lighter igniting a cigarette.

Cheng Qiaobei exhaled a breath of smoke and said, "Ning Xi,"

"Yes."

"Whether we have a child or not is irrelevant, but don’t overthink it, can you promise me?"

Chen Ningxi’s gaze momentarily froze, just as she had expected.

She smiled a little, "Yes."

"Your promise," Cheng Qiaobei insisted stubbornly. He knew Chen Ningxi well, and because he knew her, he feared she might abandon their marriage.

Chen Ningxi tried to sound relaxed, "Okay, I promise. By the way, Mom arranged for me to go to a hospital in Shanghai. Her old classmate is a deputy director there, and she’ll have me check it out."

"You told Mom?"

"Yes. Once I got the results, I went to see her. It’s something big, I had to tell her."

"Changing hospitals, does that mean all the testing has to be redone?" Cheng Qiaobei thought about her painful experience with the angiography and didn’t want Chen Ningxi to go through that suffering again.

"I don’t know, we’ll find out when we get there," replied Chen Ningxi.

Judging by her tone, she seemed determined to go for the check-up, "You’ve made up your mind?"

Chen Ningxi said, "I’m unwilling to give up, I want to see."

"Alright then," Cheng Qiaobei took another cigarette from the pack and lit it before speaking, "I regretted asking you to do the angiography last time, after you finished it... just thinking about another check-up makes me feel pain for you."

Indeed, Chen Ningxi feared the pain too, but to give Cheng Qiaobei a more complete family, she was willing to endure the physical pain from the examination.

"If there is a more advanced technology that can cure me, this pain is nothing."

"What do you mean it’s nothing?" Cheng Qiaobei felt an unspeakable anxiety, hating this uncontrollable situation, and his anger for being unable to do anything for her bent the cigarette between his fingers, "Alright then, any idea when?"

Chen Ningxi said, "Not yet. When it’s decided, Mom will tell me."

In the following two days, Chen Ningxi followed the doctor’s advice, maintaining good sleep and diet, keeping herself happy, and relaxing as much as possible, drinking Chinese herbal medicine on time.

During this time, she began searching online for various posts related to female infertility, even checking links she usually wouldn’t click.

Perhaps, this is what people mean by desperately seeking medical help.

Chinese medicine turned out to be even harder to drink than she expected, the bitterness carried an odd taste, which forced her to suck on a fruit candy to alleviate it.

Cheng Qiaobei also cut down on overtime, trying to make time to be with Chen Ningxi.

She threw away the condoms in the nightstand drawer; for someone with trouble conceiving, they were unnecessary.

She saw a post where a woman diagnosed as infertile ended up pregnant after treatment and maintaining a positive mindset, following a harmonious intimate encounter.

This silently ignited a light within Chen Ningxi, making her eager to try.

Maybe, she could too.

When Cheng Qiaobei came home from work, he was immediately hugged by Chen Ningxi as soon as he stepped in.

"Mm..." Cheng Qiaobei was bumped with a muffled groan, holding her in his arms, letting out a low chuckle, "Haha... why not turn on the light?"

Through the darkness, Chen Ningxi felt his warmth, slowly tiptoeing to seek his lips, softly brushing them, "Today is my ovulation day."

Instantly, Cheng Qiaobei’s breathing grew heavier, cupping her face and sealing her tender lips.

The darkness weakened one’s vision, but the touch gave a sensation that replaced sight.

Cheng Qiaobei carried her to the bedroom... a trace of coolness brushed over the skin, causing the body to tense up.

The supple hands were pinned above her head, and the kiss was wild and fierce...

Under the moonlight, he finally saw her lost in bliss, beautiful enough to intoxicate, driving him mad.

Following the advice she found on her phone, Chen Ningxi didn’t rush to get up, instead propping a pillow under her, waiting for a miracle to happen.

Beside her, Cheng Qiaobei panted heavily. He realized that not using protection during intimacy was incredibly sensual, an experience he was utterly enamored with.

Some things you touch once and become addicted, like her.

"No... not ready yet." Chen Ningxi noticed something off about him, just about to push him away when she heard a deep, hoarse voice behind her ear, "Don’t say no, everything I give you must be taken."

"Qiao Bei..."

Chen Ningxi had just called out when he embraced her again.
