Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Attitude is Very Important

The two of them sat face to face across the table, Zou Yong pushed the book in front of her, "Not sure if it’s useful to you, but I bought it when I saw it, maybe you’ll need it in the future."

Chen Ningxi opened the table of contents and scanned through it based on the categories, her eyes noticeably brightened.

Zou Yong noticed and realized he had bought the right thing.

Suddenly, Chen Ningxi felt uncomfortable in her stomach, got up with a pained expression, and ran out. Seeing this, Zou Yong worriedly followed her out.

In the corridor, he heard someone inside retching and vomiting. When Chen Ningxi returned to the office, Zou Yong handed her a tissue, "Wipe your face."

Chen Ningxi took it and wiped the corners of her lips clean. Zou Yong then pointed to her cheek, "Here."

She cleaned it, and Zou Yong asked, "The day you came to celebrate your aunt’s birthday, you didn’t look well, and you’re vomiting again today, you should go to the hospital for a checkup."

Chen Ningxi waved her hands repeatedly, "It’s not that serious, Mr. Zou, no need to go to the hospital."

Zou Yong looked at her with full concern, "You’re vomiting so badly, it’s definitely serious, just go have a look. Besides, the hospital is nearby, it’s convenient for a checkup."

Chen Ningxi embarrassedly said, "Actually, it’s not an illness. I just finished IVF a few days ago, and it’s all a normal reaction from the medication.

"!" Zou Yong furrowed his brows deeper, "Did Qiao Bei ask you to do it?"

Chen Ningxi said, "No, it’s something I wanted to do."

"...Oh," Zou Yong nodded in understanding, "How many days has it been?"

Chen Ningxi said, "Including today, it’s been eight days."

Zou Yong, using a tone of a senior, earnestly advised her, "Since it’s surgery, you should rest at home for a few more days to recover."

Chen Ningxi said, "The doctor told me to rest at home for three days. I stayed at home for three days before coming to work."

Zou Yong seemed dissatisfied with the doctor too, "Only three days of rest? It should be at least a week."

Chen Ningxi said, "Three days is enough, I’m doing quite well now."

Zou Yong glanced at his watch, got up and prepared to leave.

"I have a friend to meet, I’ll go first."

"Mr. Zou, these are the books I borrowed from your house last time," Chen Ningxi handed the books to him, and Zou Yong took them and walked towards the door. Chen Ningxi saw him off, saying, "Take care, Mr. Zou."

He turned back and waved at her, "Alright, go back."

In the evening, Cheng Qiaobei came to pick her up. When she got in the car, he noticed her hands were empty.

"You said you were going to return the books after work tonight, where are they?" Cheng Qiaobei asked, "Left them in the office?"

Chen Ningxi said, "No, Mr. Zou happened to come before the end of the day, and he took the books with him."

Cheng Qiaobei paused slightly, "...he went to your workplace?"

Chen Ningxi nodded slightly, "Um."

Cheng Qiaobei licked his lips, "Ning Xi, how does Mr. Zou usually treat you?"

"He’s always been very good, he watched me grow up," seeing Cheng Qiaobei’s expression was off, Chen Ningxi asked, "Why ask this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing," Cheng Qiaobei hinted, "I feel like he handles everything comprehensively, even more thoughtfully than me as your husband."

Chen Ningxi noticed a hint of jealousy, "He’s my uncle, don’t think too much, we’re a generation apart."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "You regard him as an elder, but he may not have the same thoughts."

Being suspected like this, she could understand, but since it was Zou Yong, it made her physically uncomfortable.

"He’s like my dad, don’t overthink it." Chen Ningxi reminded him, "Watch the road."

It was clear she was quite averse to the idea, so Cheng Qiaobei didn’t say more, but after this conversation, she should pay more attention to the details.

On the tenth day after completing the IVF procedure, Chen Ningxi went to the hospital, and after finishing the checkup, she directly went with the results to find Doctor Bai.

Doctor Bai looked at the test report and ultrasound scan in his hand, sighed silently, and said, "...Unfortunately, it wasn’t successful this time."

Chen Ningxi asked, "How long until the next attempt?"

Doctor Bai said, "Considering your physical condition, at least two to three months apart."

Chen Ningxi took a deep breath, feeling more pressured, "Does it have to be that long?"

Cheng Qiaobei comforted her, holding her shoulders, "Is that long? It takes time to recuperate the body, listening to Doctor Bai is right. Also, relax, maintaining a good mindset is important."

Chen Ningxi understood she needed to maintain the right mindset, but the disappointment of the first failure caused her anxiety.

"I admit, I’m a bit anxious."

Cheng Qiaobei firmly held her thin, slender shoulders, "This is just the beginning, don’t rush."

"..." How could she not be anxious? If possible, Chen Ningxi truly wished she could conceive immediately.

Before the second IVF, she would need to undergo a physical examination to confirm eligibility. After scheduling the next checkup with Doctor Bai, she left the hospital.

After getting in the car, Chen Ningxi conveyed the news to Ye Yujun, who had been constantly comforting her, advising her to maintain a positive mindset and not to pressure herself.

Everyone around her now kept urging her that mindset matters, but faced with infertility issues, was maintaining a positive mindset really a solution?

Cheng Qiaobei dropped her off at work; today was supposed to be the day to sign a wagering agreement with Zou Yong.

Arriving at the meeting room, there was a stack of documents to be signed in front of him. Zou Yong glanced over, seemingly unintentionally, sizing up Cheng Qiaobei.

Cheng Qiaobei meticulously read through the agreement, only after reading every last word did he sign on the dotted line upon confirming there were no disagreements.

Once the agreement took effect, Eastern First-class’s account instantly increased by an eight-figure sum. With the backing of a large company, many troubles were reduced.

According to the original plan, Eastern First-class entered a new phase of expansion, within a short month, thirty more hotels joined both domestically and internationally. Lin Hanrui had to personally visit each hotel for on-site measurements, then submit drawings and find reliable construction teams.

This past month, Cheng Qiaobei still avoided social gatherings in the evenings, going to pick up Chen Ningxi after work, spending the whole evening with her.

Because the first procedure was unsuccessful, although she didn’t say it, Cheng Qiaobei could see she was anxious and unsettled.

She tried to distract herself with reading, but the effect was minimal.

Chen Ningxi sat on the sofa reading, and Cheng Qiaobei, after showering, lay down with his head on her lap, raising his hand to cover her cheek. Chen Ningxi’s gaze lowered, "What’s wrong?"

Cheng Qiaobei looked at her, his eyelashes still dotted with tiny droplets from the shower, his gaze moist as he stared at her.

"Honey, let’s go out this weekend."

Chen Ningxi asked, "Where to?"

"Wherever you want to go."

Chen Ningxi stared blankly into space, unable to think of anything for a moment. His thumb brushed her lips, bringing her scattered focus back, she gathered herself and said:

"I don’t have anything in mind, anywhere is fine."

Cheng Qiaobei smiled, "Then I’ll plan."

He slowly hooked his arm around her neck, pulling her closer until their lips met. In a husky voice, Cheng Qiaobei said:

"Stop reading, look at me."

In the next moment, the book in her hand was taken away and set aside.

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Xiangyuan has a resort hotel by Eastern First-class, it’s built halfway up the mountain, and at night we can hold each other in the stargazing room and watch the stars."

Chen Ningxi closed her eyes, letting him explore her lips and tongue without restraint, "...Okay."
