's gaze fell on her chest. She was wearing a very form-fitting dress today, with a large neckline, and at a glance, her curves were clear.He frowned and said in a low voice, "Don't you have any other...She clenched her hands, suddenly losing the courage to push open the door. She turned and went to the restroom.

It doesn't matter who I marry, it turns out choosing her wasn't because she was special. It was just because it wasn't that other person. Anyone would have done.

She stayed outside for ten or so minutes, gathering herself before coming back.

Pushing open the door, the dishes were already set. Gu Jingyan raised his head to glance at her, but said nothing.

Zhong Meilan greeted her to sit down, "How long have you been gone"

"I'm sorry, Mom. My stomach was a little upset just now," Qiao Joxing whispered.

Zhong Meilan's movements stopped, seeing that her face was indeed pale, and the lipstick on her lips had faded a bit. She asked, "How could you feel unwell in your stomach Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up"

"No, it's just an old ailment, nothing serious, Mom."

Zhong Meilan said, "It's still best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Don't mix things up because of pregnancy and have something else happen."

Just now I was surprised that Zhong Meilan would care about her health, it turns out she was just afraid she might get pregnant without knowing and lose the bloodline of the Gu family.

Qiao Ruo Xing twitched the corner of her mouth, “Got it, Mom.”

Zhong Meilan didn't speak to her again. Her family would occasionally chat, but Qiao Ruo Xing felt like an outsider at this family gathering, everything tasteless and meaningless.

A piece of pork rib appeared in her bowl. Qiao Ruoxing turned her head to look at Gu Jingyan, but the latter didn't even glance at her. He merely said in a cool tone, "Pick what you want to eat yourself."

No, she wasn't an outsider. She was a temporary actress at this family dinner, each taking what they needed from each other.

Thinking about this, my heart felt rebellious instead. You want to act Fine, I'll play along!

So she tucked a piece of spicy chicken onto Gu Jingyan's lips, "Honey, try this."

Gu Jingyan's body stiffened, and he gave her a strange look.

Qiao Ruo Xing's eyes curved into a crescent, her face full of tenderness.

Gu Jingyan doesn't like spicy food, so she deliberately picked the spicy ones for him to see how he would act!

If he refuses and ruins the whole act, then it wouldn't be her fault.

Just as she was smugly pleased with herself, Gu Jingyan suddenly leaned over, biting into that piece of meat. His lips brushed her chopsticks ambiguously before he rolled the meat into his mouth. Under Qiao Ruo Xing's astonished gaze, he commented, "Not bad,"

Jo Ro Xing……

Damn you! You're killing me!

Zhong Meilan glanced at the two, her eyes downcast as if deep in thought.

After half the wine had been consumed, Gu Jingyan's cell phone rang. When he went out to answer it, Zhong Meilan put down her chopsticks and asked Qiao Ruoxing, "Ruoxing, how long have you felt uncomfortable in your stomach Have you vomited"

She couldn't still think she's pregnant, could she

Joe said, "Mom, I'm not pregnant. My period just ended last week."

Zhong Meilan seemed unconvinced and asked again, "Have you been taking the medicine I gave you on time"

Mentioning those drugs, Qiao Ruo Xing suddenly felt a little nauseous.

Jong Mei-lan was very insistent on her pregnancy, and she didn't know why the other person thought it was a problem that she couldn't get pregnant. Over the years, she had tried every possible way to seek medical treatment and drink various "conception soups."

Gu Jingyan was cold and aloof. She could count the times he interacted with her in a year on her fingers. She wasn't a stick insect that could reproduce asexually; if Gu Jingyan didn't cooperate, where would she get pregnant

"I drank it," knowing Zhong Meilan didn't believe her, she added, "Aunt Zhang watched me drink it."

Gu Jingyang let out a scoff, "Mom, what was I saying No matter how good your medicine is, if she's on barren land, what use is it to apply more fertilizer"

Zhong Meilan glanced at her and said lightly, "Don't butt in."

Gu Jingyang pouted and rolled his eyes.

Zhong Meilan asked again, "Have you and Jingyan taken any precautions"

Qiao Ruo Xing: "..."

To ask so directly, without any subtlety

She took a deep breath and honestly admitted, "No."

There's truly nothing to it. Gu Jingyan calculated her ovulation period clearly, and he always avoided those days. So even without taking precautions, she couldn't possibly become pregnant.

Zhong Meilan sighed, "I was too impatient."

Just when Qiao Ruo Xing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhong Mei Lan had Gu Jing Yang bring up a small box from the ground and open it. Inside, there was a row of canned dark brown liquids neatly arranged.

Zhong Meilan twisted open a bottle and pushed it in front of her. A strange smell, mixed with Chinese medicine, suddenly came to her face.

The fear of being controlled by "ginger soup for conception" suddenly surged, and Qiao Ruo Xing's stomach churned violently.

She wanted to vomit.

“I have a friend who introduced me to an expert in Hong Kong. Her daughter had the same difficulty getting pregnant as you. After taking care of herself at this doctor's for half a year, she became pregnant with twins. This time Jingyang just happened to go to Hong Kong, so I asked her to run a trip for me. I told her your situation, and the doctor adjusted the prescription again. This is a new prescription, more effective than before. I have asked everyone to cook it for you, take it on time every day, and when you finish drinking it, I will ask someone to send the new one over.”

Jojo Xing: "..."

"Mom, I feel like this medicine isn't really working. I've been taking it for over a year now. When I had my checkup before, the doctor said I was in pretty good health."

She really wanted to say, why don't you give this medicine to your son The problem is with him.

Gu Jingyang sarcastically said, "Since you're in good health, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet With my brother's physique, other men would have had three kids by now. I really don't know what he married you for, just eating and drinking for free, not even laying an egg!"

Qiao Ruoxing's face darkened, and she gave her a cold glance.

Gu Jingyang's face was full of provocation, he knew she wouldn't dare to retort.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Rui Xing said, "It's better to be unable to conceive than to get pregnant and then have an abortion."

Gu Jingyang's face changed color, "What do you mean"

"It's nothing," Qiao Xing shrugged, "I went to the hospital for a checkup before and saw many young girls having abortions. It just struck a chord with me."

Gu Jingyang stared at her, his eyes a mixture of shock, fear, and suspicion., and there are some photos too." Gu Jingyan opened his phone and waved it in front of her. The screen clearly displayed the photo she had just taken downstairs with the front desk attendant at the en...
