Chapter 59: Domineering Protection of My Husband - I'll Take Care of My Man!

His chin rested on the top of her head, his voice hoarse and filled with pleading and lingering fear.

"It's my fault... I'm not good enough for you..."

He led Su Yue into the bedroom, away from her family's sight.

Gu Beichen let go of her, turned around and took out the crumpled medical report from his pocket, then slammed it onto the table.

He howled like a wounded wolf, all his pride and composure crumbling at that moment.

"Look!"

"Look carefully! I can't give you a complete family! I'm not worthy to marry you!"

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at her with anguish, and he said, word by word, "Su Yue, I won't hold you back. You can... go find someone who can truly bring you happiness."

Su Yue picked up the report.

My gaze fell on the conclusion in the last column; the words there were glaring and cold.

[Sperm motility is severely low, resulting in an extremely low chance of conception.]

No wonder.

No wonder he acted that way.

This is a lingering effect from the aftereffects of the chemical weapons he was injured during his last mission.

After reading it, Su Yue's face showed no disgust or disappointment, but rather a deep sense of heartache.

Under Gu Beichen's desperate gaze, she raised her hand and tore the report—which was enough to destroy all his pride—to shreds with a "whoosh."

Paper scraps fell like snowflakes.

She stepped forward, cupped Gu Beichen's face, which was filled with pain and self-loathing, her eyes as firm as tempered steel.

"Gu Beichen, what kind of person do you take me, Su Yue, for?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear and carried an undeniable power.

"Let me tell you, the person I, Su Yue, want to marry is you! You, Gu Beichen! Not your fertility! Do you understand?"

Gu Beichen was completely stunned and stared at her in disbelief.

Su Yue felt both sorry for him and amused by his silly appearance.

She tiptoed and kissed his cool, thin lips deeply.

"And have you forgotten who I am?"

She calmly told him, her tone revealing the absolute confidence of a top-notch doctor.

"I'm a doctor. Your injury is nothing to me."

“I’m telling you, if I say I can cure it, I definitely can. What you need to do now is not to push me away like a coward, but to believe me one hundred percent!”

Looking into Su Yue's clear and determined eyes, Gu Beichen felt his heart, which had sunk into the abyss, suddenly pulled back by a warm force.

Su Yue took his cold hand and made him sit on the edge of the bed.

A mysterious and cunning smile curled at the corners of her lips, like a little fox in control of the whole situation.

"Starting tonight, you don't need to think about anything. Just follow my orders."

"First, let's have a cup of my special 'calming tea' for you."

She magically produced a small thermos from her cloth bag, poured a cup of warm tea, and handed it to him.

The tea was clear and bright, emitting a faint fragrance of herbs and wood.

Unbeknownst to Gu Beichen, a drop of crystal-clear, vibrant liquid silently seeped from her fingertip into the tea.

Gu Beichen was still somewhat dazed when he drank that cup of tea.

The warm tea slid down my throat and into my stomach, and an indescribable warmth instantly spread throughout my body.

That warmth, as if carrying vibrant life, dispelled the coldness and despair that had seeped into his very bones. The anxiety, exhaustion, and shattered pride of the past few days melted away little by little under the soothing touch of this warm current.

Looking at the slender woman before him, who seemed capable of supporting him, he felt an unprecedented sense of trust and reliance.

This woman was his salvation.

“My treatment plan needs to be kept confidential.” Su Yue put away her cup, her expression regaining its calmness and professionalism. “To outsiders, just say that I’m helping you regulate your body and strengthen your constitution. During this period, follow my instructions.”

Gu Beichen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he responded hoarsely, "Okay."

From that moment on, he completely relinquished all control.

In the days that followed, Su Yue began to secretly treat Gu Beichen under the guise of "conditioning his body".

Every night, she would make Gu Beichen drink a bowl of "special Chinese medicine" that she had personally brewed, in which spiritual spring water from her space was silently incorporated.

Afterwards, she would take out her acupuncture kit and perform acupuncture on him in the bedroom.

This process is something outsiders cannot see.

The next morning, the atmosphere at the dinner table in the Gu family compound was somewhat subtle.

Although Gu Beichen remained silent, the gloom between his brows had dissipated considerably, and he looked much more energetic.

Shen Qingqing appeared at an inopportune moment, carrying a bowl of porridge and pretending to be concerned as she approached.

"Brother Beichen, you haven't looked too well these past few days. Are you too tired? Yueyue, your wedding plans... it seems like there's been no progress?"

Her question was sarcastic, and the schadenfreude in her eyes was almost overflowing.

She was certain that there was a problem with the medical examination, and the marriage was doomed!

The elders of the Gu family all turned pale.

Just as Gu Beichen was about to speak, Su Yue took the initiative, reaching out to link her arm with his and leaning naturally against him, a sweet and slightly shy smile on her face.

"Beichen's health was a bit depleted from the mission he was on recently, and I'm currently helping him recover."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire living room.

"We'll have children when he's full of energy. We're not in a hurry; we have a lifetime ahead of us."

His words were spoken frankly and openly, yet were also full of the intimacy between husband and wife.

This both explained Gu Beichen's "abnormality" and asserted her unshakeable sovereignty.

"Pfft—"

Gu Beifeng, the younger brother-in-law, almost spat out the steamed bun in his mouth.

Dragon-like vigor and tiger-like strength?

My second sister-in-law is too outspoken!

Gu Beichen's ears turned bright red instantly. He sat there stiffly, letting Su Yue hold his arm, feeling the soft touch on his arm, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

Shen Qingqing's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and she felt a lump in her throat, unable to breathe.

Instead of the awkwardness and annulment she expected, she was force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)!

Just then, Chu Jingya walked over gracefully, carrying a plate of fruit.

She smiled as she put down the fruit plate, her gaze falling on Shen Qingqing.

"Qingqing, why are you, an outsider, asking so much about the intimate moments between Brother Beichen and Yueyue? It's inappropriate."

In one sentence, Shen Qingqing was once again nailed to the pillar of shame as an "outsider".

Grandma Gu gave Chu Jingya an approving look, and her liking for this well-educated and reasonable girl who knew how to protect the Gu family's reputation increased even more.

Shen Qingqing was speechless for a long time, and finally could only stomp her foot angrily and run away in a sorry state.

This minor incident was thus resolved by Su Yue and Chu Jingya working together.
