However, when Lin Sisi arrived at Lin Qingyan's office, she found that another doctor was sitting there.

She asked the doctor, "Where is Dr. Lin Qingyan?"

The doctor told her, "Dr. Lin is going to Beijing to receive an award tomorrow, so she took the day off early today."

"To receive an award! What award is she receiving? And she needs to go to Beijing."

The doctor assumed Lin Sisi and Lin Qingyan were acquainted, so he told her, "The award Dr. Lin is about to receive is no ordinary one. It's said that only a handful of people in the entire country can win it. You have to go to the Great Hall of the People in the capital to receive it, and you'll even get to meet important leaders."

Lin Sisi felt sad again when she heard the news.

How could Lin Qingyan be so glamorous!

In an instant, extreme jealousy turned into hatred and surged into his heart.

She was too busy hating Lin Qingyan to even tell her where the jade pendant was now.

Lin Qingyan is already so proud of herself, so she won't help Lin Qingyan find the jade pendant. Let Lin Qingyan continue to feel regret.

She was too excited to hear that she wasn't sick, and she was also eager to get revenge on Xu Xinning, so she didn't think things through carefully.

Since there's nothing wrong with her body, why can't she get pregnant even after sleeping in the same bed with Gu Mingzhou for so long?

Is there something else wrong?

She couldn't figure it out herself and thought it would be better to ask a doctor.

So she went to see Director Fan again.

"Doctor, you just examined me and said there's nothing wrong with my body. Do you mean I can still have children?"

Director Fan smiled and said, "Theoretically speaking, it is possible. However, there are many factors that determine fertility. If your body is healthy and your partner is also healthy, and you have normal sexual activity, the chances of having a child are very high."

Lin Sisi pondered the doctor's words, "Then we are both normal, what kind of situation would prevent us from having children?"

"As long as you are both normal, the chances of not being able to have children are very small."

“But I’ve been sleeping with him for over a month and everything seems normal, but I just can’t get pregnant.”

"And what about him? Having a child is not a one-person decision; it requires the joint decision of both men and women."

"Him?" Lin Sisi's eyes widened immediately. "Could it be that Mingzhou has a health problem?"

Director Fan said, "The hospital does not currently have a department or doctor specializing in the examination and treatment of male infertility. However, we can have him checked in the urology department to see if there is a problem with his kidneys."

"Okay, doctor, I understand."

A huge weight had been lifted from her heart, but now another huge weight had appeared.

If Gu Mingzhou is infertile, she still won't be able to have a child.

She returned home feeling uneasy, waiting for Gu Mingzhou to come home from get off work so she could tell him what had happened at the hospital and ask him to go see a doctor.

However, Gu Mingzhou didn't come home alone after get off work; Zheng Jianming was with him.

Zheng Jianming, standing behind Gu Mingzhou, immediately fixed his gaze on Lin Sisi upon entering the room. After glancing at her for a moment, fearing that Lin Sisi and Gu Mingzhou might discover something, he quickly looked away.

He handed me the fruit and vegetables in the net bag.

Gu Mingzhou said to Lin Sisi, "Old Zheng is having dinner at our house today, so you should take good care of the food."

Lin Sisi had no intention of preparing meals for them.

Now that she knows Gu Mingzhou can't have children, his status at home has dropped significantly. Why should she continue to accommodate and serve him?

Gu Mingzhou was a little angry when he saw that she was sitting still.

"Sisi, what are you doing? Didn't you hear me? Stop fooling around, hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook. Lao Zheng and I are waiting for dinner."

Zheng Jianming didn't know how he felt at the moment. He probably felt uncomfortable listening to Gu Mingzhou scolding Lin Sisi, or perhaps he didn't want the two hosts to quarrel because of him.

"Mingzhou, don't talk about her like that. Maybe your sister-in-law isn't feeling well. Let her rest. I can cook, I'll do it."

His words immediately warmed Lin Sisi's heart.

If only Gu Mingzhou could care for her and understand her like everyone else did, how wonderful that would be.

That being said, even though he's a complete stranger, Gu Mingzhou treats him so well, yet he always treats him like an enemy.

She'll tell Gu Mingzhou later that he can't have children, and see how he can still act tough in front of her.

She decided to hold back for now, and after dinner, when Zheng Jianming left, she would make him thoroughly embarrassed.

She walked up to Zheng Jianming and took the things from his hands. "Brother Zheng, give them to me, I'll go cook."

Zheng Jianming instinctively flinched, and Lin Sisi didn't touch the net, but instead touched his wrist.

In an instant, the spot where Lin Sisi had touched Zheng Jianming felt as if he had been electrocuted, causing a tingling sensation.

This feeling was something his wife had never given him, and he only experienced it when he was in contact with Lin Sisi.

He said to Lin Sisi, "You're not feeling well, you should rest. I'll go cook."

He said this and turned to walk out.

"How could I possibly accept that?" Lin Sisi said.

“That’s right, Lao Zheng, you’re a guest. How can you let a guest cook for you?” Gu Mingzhou added.

Zheng Jianming smiled and said, "Mingzhou, you and your sister-in-law must not treat me like an outsider. I feel right at home here. I often cook at my own home too."

Lin Sisi suddenly felt a pang of envy for Zheng Jianming's wife.

How happy she must be with her man who is so considerate and caring.

Zheng Jianming took the things he brought to the kitchen, and Gu Mingzhou followed him. Zheng Jianming refused to go inside, so the two of them cooked together in the kitchen.
