Chapter 58 A Shocking Secret! Commander Gu's Infertility Certificate?

"Her grandmother, the old lady of the Chu family, is very ambitious. She has always wanted Chu Jingya to marry my second brother so that the Chu family and our Gu family could form a powerful alliance. The old lady of the Chu family is behind the fact that your marriage application was blocked this time."

Gu Beixiao curled his lip, looking disdainful.

"Chu Jingya herself isn't a bad person, she's just indecisive. But her grandmother is a ruthless character. So, second sister-in-law, be careful that the Chu family doesn't try to trip you up."

Su Yue understood and nodded with a smile: "Thanks, Xiao Xiao, I understand."

The atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again.

Gu Zhengfeng cleared his throat, glanced at Gu Beichen and Su Yue, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Now that the marriage application has been approved, Beichen's leave is limited. According to military regulations, the premarital medical examination is the last step and must be completed as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing, who hadn't had a chance to speak until now, immediately seized the opportunity to speak.

“Uncle Gu is right! This premarital checkup is so important!” She looked at Su Yue with feigned concern, her words carrying a hidden meaning, “After all, Su Yue comes from that kind of family. What if… she has some kind of embarrassing health problem? That would be a real problem.”

The air froze instantly.

All eyes turned to Shen Qingqing.

Gu Beichen's eyes instantly turned cold, like two sharp knives.

He didn't even glance at Shen Qingqing, but turned directly to his father, his tone calm yet resolute.

"dad."

"I don't want to see any irrelevant people present at the Gu family's future family banquets."

One sentence, like a resounding slap, landed hard on Shen Qingqing's face.

This is not just a warning, but a complete expulsion.

In front of everyone, he completely categorized Shen Qingqing as an "outsider," causing her to lose face and leaving her with no dignity whatsoever.

Shen Qingqing's face turned a deep purplish-red, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Su Yue smiled generously and looked at Gu Zhengfeng: "Dad, I'm fine, I can come anytime."

Gu Beichen immediately made a decision: "Then tomorrow, I'll take Yueyue to the military hospital and get it over with quickly."

Throughout, Chu Jingya maintained a gentle and polite smile, seemingly unconcerned about Shen Qingqing's foolish behavior. She even proactively picked up her juice and raised a glass to Su Yue.

“Sister Su Yue, I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw you. Come to think of it, you do look somewhat like my mother.”

Her words and actions were impeccable, yet they made Su Yue more wary.

Late at night, in Gu Beichen's room.

The man had just finished showering, his body still damp. He sat on the edge of the bed, watching Su Yue quietly reading under the lamp, his eyes filled with tenderness.

But beneath this gentleness, a barely perceptible worry flickered.

He recalled a mission he had narrowly escaped death a few years ago. Although he survived thanks to his strong willpower, the internal injuries he suffered at the time, which the doctor had said might have long-term effects.

I just don't know if it will have any impact...

He dared not think any further.

The next morning, at the General Hospital of the Military Region.

Gu Beichen used his connections to expedite the process, and all the tests were carried out very quickly.

In the afternoon, two freshly printed medical examination reports were delivered to them.

Su Yue opened her own report and read it from beginning to end. Every indicator was perfect, and she couldn't be healthier.

She smiled and waved the report in her hand: "Reporting to the commander, I'm in great health and have a great appetite!"

Gu Beichen was amused by her, and the worry in his eyes dissipated considerably.

He reached out and opened his own report.

However, when his gaze fell on a conclusion on the last page of the report, the color drained from his face in an instant.

His tall frame stiffened abruptly, his fingers holding the report turned white from the force, and he seemed to have all his strength drained away in an instant.

His face was ashen white.

"What's wrong?"

Su Yue keenly sensed that something was wrong with him, her smile faded, and she leaned closer to take a look.

Gu Beichen, however, reacted as if he had been burned, slamming the report shut with such speed that it almost created a gust of wind.

"fine."

He spoke, his voice dry and hoarse, like sandpaper being rubbed.

As Gu Beichen walked out of the hospital, he acted out of character.

He didn't hold Su Yue's hand, but walked silently ahead, with a person's distance between them, a distance that seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

His entire aura changed; he was no longer gentle and reserved, but rather cold and aloof, keeping people at arm's length.

"Gu Beichen, what exactly did you write in your report?" Su Yue caught up with him and walked alongside him.

"Nothing much." He stared straight ahead, his jawline taut. "Some military matters, a bit of a hassle."

That same phrase again.

Su Yue stopped and looked at his stiff back.

Who is she? A 22nd-century medical doctor, a master of reading people and situations.

His clumsy pretense could hardly fool her.

He'd been acting strange ever since he saw the report.

The only possibility is that there's something wrong with his medical examination report.

Moreover, it's a serious problem that can shatter the self-esteem of a grown man.

Back at the Gu family compound, Gu Beichen practically fled, locking himself in his study and shutting himself out of the world with a bang.

In the living room, Zhang Huilan was happily discussing the wedding details with her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Yaqin, when she saw her son looking so dejected that her heart tightened.

"What's wrong with this child? Did the physical exam go wrong?"

Su Yue calmly put away the report in her hand and smiled reassuringly, "Mom, it's alright. He just had an urgent matter at the military base. Let him calm down for a while."

But her heart sank.

Gu Beichen did not come out for dinner.

Just as the family was filled with worry, the study door opened.

Gu Beichen stood at the door, his face still pale. He avoided Su Yue's gaze and looked directly at his mother.

"Mom, let's postpone the wedding for now."

One sentence made the air in the entire living room freeze.

"The unit has an urgent mission, and I... I need to return to the unit immediately to handle it."

His voice was low, carrying a sense of suppressed weariness.

Zhang Huilan was stunned, Wang Yaqin also stopped eating, and everyone looked at him in disbelief.

Only Su Yue sat there quietly, her heart growing colder and colder, but she also understood completely.

That idiot.

What an utter idiot!

In the dead of night, the Gu family compound was completely silent.

Su Yue neither knocked on the study door nor cried or made a fuss.

She returned to her room and silently opened the suitcase she had brought with her.

Then, she began to pack her clothes inside, one by one.

The movements were slow, even deliberate, yet they exuded a chilling decisiveness.

Zhang Huilan was worried and got up in the middle of the night to check on the situation. When she opened the door, she saw Su Yue in a posture as if she was about to leave.

She was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and she rushed over to hold Su Yue's hand.

"Yueyue! What are you doing?!"

"Did that bastard Beichen bully you? Tell me, and I'll break his legs to avenge you!"

Su Yue paused, then remained silent.

The study door was flung open with a loud bang.

Gu Beichen charged out like a caged beast enraged, his eyes bloodshot.

When he saw Su Yue's resolute back as she packed her bags, he felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it hard to breathe.

He rushed over and grabbed her tightly from behind, his tall body trembling slightly with fear.

"Don't go..."
