Chapter 54 Are we going to get divorced?

The man was wearing an oversized stand-up collar white shirt, paired with flared pants, short hair that reached his ears, a bright smile, and a very good figure.

"Fourth brother, I heard from Grandpa that you were here, so I came over to say hello." Yu Qing looked at Xu Qingwu who was standing beside her. "Who is this?"

Cen Xihuai introduced: "Xu Qingwu, my wife."

Yu Qing's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled again and greeted Xu Qingwu: "Hello Qingwu, my name is Yu Qing, you are so beautiful."

Xu Qingwu smiled and said, "Thank you, you too."

Yu Qing volunteered, "The kitchen is still preparing the food. Can I take you around the garden?"

Xu Qingwu was about to say yes when she heard Cen Xihuai's cold refusal: "No, we are watching the fish."

Yu Qing smiled awkwardly: "Looks like I disturbed you?"

Xu Qingwu quickly said, "No, no, Miss Yu, please take us around the garden. It's quite beautiful here."

Yu Qing said cheerfully, "Okay!"

Yu Qing led the way in front, and Xu Qingwu forced Cen Xihuai to follow.

The garden is not big, and there are many Chinese medicinal herbs planted there. It is the first time that Xu Qingwu has seen fresh medicinal herbs that have not been dried. He was quite interested in reading the introduction on the sign.

When they were almost done touring the garden, dinner was ready and the servants called them to eat.

In addition to the two black carp caught by Mr. Yu, there were some other dishes on the table, filling up the entire table.

Mr. Yu smiled and greeted them: "Eat as if it were your own home, don't be polite."

Both Old Yu and Yu Qing were cheerful people. The grandfather and grandson chatted with each other lively. Cen Xihuai would occasionally respond politely, while Xu Qingwu concentrated on eating.

Cen Xihuai scooped her a bowl of yam, lily and mung bean soup and put it aside to cool, and occasionally picked up some food for her. Xu Qingwu ate slowly, and soon her bowl was piled as high as a mountain.

Not far away were stir-fried lamb chops. She still remembered that when they had dinner at the old house before, Cen Xihuai liked to eat lamb?

In return for the favor, Xu Qingwu picked up a piece and put it in his bowl: "Don't just pick it up for me, eat it too."

Yu Qing asked doubtfully, "Fourth Brother, don't you hate mutton?"

The dinner table suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cen Xihuai.

Xu Qingwu really didn't know that Cen Xihuai hated mutton. He clearly ate it that time, and when she asked him if it tasted good, he said it was delicious.

Cen Xihuai picked up the braised boneless lamb chop with chopsticks. Under Yu Qing's surprised gaze, he chewed it a few times before swallowing it. He said calmly, "My taste has changed."

Yu Qing smiled unnaturally: "That's good. Mutton is nutritious and good for your health."

Cen Xihuai didn't say anything and continued to pick up food for Xu Qingwu.

Xu Qingwu's cheeks puffed up and down when he ate, like a little hamster. He found some fun in the act of feeding himself.

Xu Qingwu pushed him under the table and whispered, "Don't give me any more food. It's rude if I can't finish it."

Cen Xihuai also whispered, "Eat with confidence. Give me the leftovers."

Then he started to clamp again.

Xu Qingwu: "..."

In the end, Cen Xihuai kept his promise and successfully finished the dishes that Xu Qingwu had not finished. Seeing this scene, Yu Qing even forgot to control her expression.

She remembered that Cen Xihuai was a mysophobe and never shared a set of tableware with anyone.

After finishing their meal, the two men said goodbye to Mr. Yu politely.

After leaving the bamboo forest, Yu Qing chased after him and said, "Fourth brother, Grandpa asked me to send you a WeChat message about the foods I should avoid while taking my medication. Remember to check it."

"No, I've already noted it down."

Cen Xihuai took Xu Qingwu away, put the bag of Chinese medicine in the trunk, and started the car back.

Cen Xihuai found that Xu Qingwu always seemed to be distracted, before he found the fish in the pavilion, when he was walking in the garden, and now.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing Cen Xihuai's question, Xu Qingwu came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing."

The carriage fell silent, with only the red amulet Xu Qingwu had given him swaying as the car moved forward.

"Cen Xihuai."

"Um?"

"What do you think about my difficulty getting pregnant due to polycystic ovary syndrome?" Xu Qingwu paused and asked bluntly, "Should we get a divorce?"

"Is this what you're thinking about all the time?"

"Um."

She never thought that she would have this problem. A family like Cen Xihuai's definitely needs successors. Considering his financial resources, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a chance of inheriting the throne.

Seeing that Cen Xihuai didn't answer, Xu Qingwu spoke first: "If you want to divorce, don't worry, I won't take your property. I will also find someone to notarize the equity transfer given by my father and transfer it to you."

Hearing her say that not only did she not want money, but she had even thoughtfully considered donating equity, Cen Xihuai tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, not knowing how to describe his feelings at the moment.

A little boring.

He lowered the window a little to let the cool breeze in, and said in a low voice, "Are you unhappy since you married me?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Because you sound like you want to divorce me."

"No, I'm asking for your opinion. You also heard what Mr. Yu said about my low chance of getting pregnant..."

"Low probability does not mean impossible."

Xu Qingwu insisted on getting a clear answer. She and Cen Xihuai had just gotten married. If they were destined to divorce, it would be better for both of them to divorce as soon as possible.

"What if it's impossible?"

"Then don't give birth."

"Don't you want a child of your own?"

"It doesn't matter. Raising a child is troublesome. If you like children and need to feel what it's like to be a mother, then adopt one."

"oh."

Since the child was not a problem, there was no need to worry about divorce, and the stone that had been weighing on Xu Qingwu's heart was shattered.

But she didn't expect that Cen Xihuai, such a conservative man, would be so open-minded about having children. She thought that a family like his attached great importance to offspring.

After returning home, Yang's mother greeted me warmly.

"Madam, you are finally back!"

Xu Qingwu blinked at Cen Xihuai. What happened?

Yang Ma said, "When you're not home, no one eats the peach gum, white fungus, and bird's nest I made for you."

Xu Qingwu then realized that this was where the secret was revealed.

Cen Xihuai gave the Chinese medicine to Yang Ma and followed the method of boiling the medicine that Old Yu told him.

Xu Qingwu was horrified, not expecting to suffer so soon. "Are you going to start drinking today?"

Cen Xihuai thought about it and gave her two options: "After we finish making the drink, we can go to the old house for dinner, or we can come back and drink it after dinner."

Anyway, drink it in the morning or at night, it’s just one word: drink.

Mother Yang took the Chinese medicine downstairs to boil it to prevent the house from being filled with the smell of the medicine. Xu Qingwu felt like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Two hours later, the Chinese medicine with a strong medicinal smell was served. It was pitch black and still slightly steaming.

As soon as he smelled the food, Xu Qingwu started to feel nauseous.

Mother Yang looked sympathetic and said, "Just pinch your nose and drink it in one gulp."

Xu Qingwu struggled hard: "I don't want to drink."

Cen Xihuai said indifferently: "Drinking it is good for your health."

Xu Qingwu was about to cry. She pulled Cen Xihuai's sleeve and acted pitifully: "Can you please not drink? ...Husband..."
