After leaving the Huo family home for dinner, Huo Jiayuan was in a low mood.

Because at the dinner table, Old Master Huo mentioned Huo Jiayuan a couple more times.

They say Huo Jiayuan and Pei Zhi have been married for several months, so he should go to the hospital for a checkup. Why is there still no sign of a baby?

The implication was that Huo Jiayuan should hurry up, but Pei Zhi stepped in to defuse the situation, saying that they weren't in a rush for the time being.

Old Master Huo didn't want to talk to Pei Zhi, so after dinner, he called Huo Jiayuan aside and told him to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.

If Huo Jiayuan is fine, then let Pei Zhi get a checkup.

It would be best for the two of them to have a child while they are still newly married.

Otherwise, after a few years, Pei Zhi would lose patience with Huo Jiayuan.

It will be difficult for Huo Jiayuan to conceive by then.

Huo Jiayuan understood his grandfather's concerns, which made him even more unhappy.

Pei Zhi is definitely fine; Xu Xingran is pregnant with Pei Zhi's child.

Pei Zhi comforted Huo Jiayuan, "Don't take the old man's words to heart. There's no rush about the child."

Huo Jiayuan glanced at Pei Zhi. In the past, Huo Jiayuan would definitely have retorted.

The reason Pei Zhi isn't in a hurry is because she already has a child, so of course she's not in a rush.

How could Huo Jiayuan dare to say that now?

Huo Jiayuan asked, "When do you think it would be a better time for the two of us to have a child?"

This question stumped Pei Zhi.

To be honest, Pei Zhi doesn't want any children.

Even if she didn't have to give birth, she wouldn't want to.

She was already annoyed by Xu Xingran using the child to manipulate her, and now she was fed up with it.

If Huo Jiayuan were to have another child, and the system were to make her responsible for the child she bore, it would be better to kill her quickly.

Even if Pei Zhi were stupid, she would know that she couldn't say that.

“We’re newly married, and you’re still young. I guess you’re not ready to be a dad right now. You can play around for a few more years.”

Huo Jiayuan couldn't help but ask, "And you, are you ready to be a mother?"

Both of them understood that Huo Jiayuan was asking whether Pei Zhi was ready to be the mother of Xu Xingran's unborn child.

Just as Pei Zhi was wondering how to answer, her phone rang.

Huo Jiayuan glanced at Pei Zhi's phone and saw the character "Xu" on it. Huo Jiayuan immediately understood who had called.

Huo Jiayuan moved closer to the car window, turned his head to look at the scenery outside, indicating that he didn't care.

Pei Zhi glanced at the phone before answering it.

"Zhizhi, are you busy?"

Pei Zhi said gently, "It's alright, what's wrong?"

"I'm thinking of buying some things for the baby this afternoon, could you come with me?"

Pei Zhi asked in confusion, "Buy it now?"

Isn't it too early to buy now? Even if Pei Zhi doesn't have much common sense, she knows that these kinds of things should be prepared when the baby is about to be born, right?

"I'll also go to the pharmacy to pick up some iron supplements; I've finished the ones the doctor prescribed for me."

Xu Xingran said with distress, "The doctor said I am iron deficient and I have to take medicine every day, otherwise it will be bad for the baby's development."

Pei Zhi's eyes were somewhat gloomy. After a moment of silence, she said, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Jiayuan took the initiative to speak, "I have a car at the sports car club nearby. I can have the driver take me there. You can go and do your thing."

Huo Jiayuan didn't press for details about who called Pei Zhi, nor did he interfere with Pei Zhi's subsequent activities.

The driver looked at Pei Zhi questioningly, and Pei Zhi nodded. Only then did the driver make a U-turn at the intersection ahead.

After getting out of the car, Huo Jiayuan hesitated for a moment before finally taking a taxi to the hospital.

Huo Jiayuan used to scoff at everything his father and grandfather said.

But seeing Pei Zhi being called away by Xu Xingran with just one phone call, how could Huo Jiayuan not feel resentful?

Even before the child is born, Xu Xingran can summon Pei Zhi away with just one phone call.

Will he still be able to see Pei Zhi after the baby is born?

This really raises a big question mark.

Huo Jiayuan went to the hospital to register and underwent a series of detailed examinations.

Huo Jiayuan went to a private hospital, where the examination was very thorough, and the results will take a few days to arrive.

After the examination was completed, Huo Jiayuan felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

Huo Jiayuan did this test not because she wanted to get pregnant right now.

He first needs to make sure he has a healthy body that can quickly conceive a child.

If there's anything wrong with the report, you can get treatment immediately, just in case.

Coincidentally, just as Huo Jiayuan was leaving the hospital, Fu Shen was driving into it.

Huo Jiayuan's sports car is far too flashy. Not only is it the only one in the city, but it's probably the only one in the whole country, and it even has such an eye-catching license plate.

The owner of the private hospital was a friend of Fu Shen. Fu Shen asked around and found out that Huo Jiayuan had come for a checkup.

Fu Shencai received his medical report and then learned what Huo Jiayuan had come to investigate.

Fu Shen sneered. Are all of them planning to get pregnant with Pei Zhi's child?

Fu Shen hid his medical report. He didn't want to admit that he had come to check his health a few days ago.

He had known Pei Zhi for longer than Xu Xingran had. How could Xu Xingran be so lucky to get pregnant so quickly?

However, he didn't make a move at all.

Fu Shen's test results were all normal, but Fu Shen was not convinced and consulted a doctor in detail.

Fu Shen asked in confusion, "Since there's nothing wrong with my body, why haven't I gotten pregnant in almost a year?"

The doctor carefully reviewed Fu Shen's medical report. "Has no treatment been administered?"

"No!" Fu Shen shook his head; he could say with certainty that there was no such thing.

Fu Shen had never taken any medication, and as for Pei Zhi, no female contraceptive pills had been developed in China yet.

Fu Shen had initially been indifferent.

I never even considered the possibility of getting pregnant.

The doctor adjusted his glasses. "Since she hasn't conceived after a year, why don't we have the woman come in for a checkup?"

"Many times, it's not necessarily the man's problem."

Fu Shen shook his head decisively, "It's not the woman's problem."

If Pei Zhi was able to get Xu Xingran pregnant, it definitely wasn't Pei Zhi's fault.

"She got someone else pregnant."

The doctor blinked. Fortunately, as a doctor in a private hospital, he was quite knowledgeable and not too surprised.

"Or perhaps your genes don't match."

Fu Shen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he said with dissatisfaction, "So, she gets matched with other people, but not with me?"

The doctor knew that Fu Shen was a friend of the hospital director and dared not offend him.

"Perhaps it's because the time isn't right yet."

"There are many couples who are healthy but have been unable to conceive for several years. Don't worry, relax, and the baby will come."

“I wasn’t worried before, I was always relaxed, and I didn’t see the child come!”

Fu Shen had never thought about having children before. Isn't it said that things can turn out unexpectedly well?

Why doesn't this trick work on him?
