The car accident was determined to be an accident after investigation, and the driver died on the spot. No matter how unwilling Chi Yu was, he could only accept this result.

After recuperating in the hospital for a month and undergoing a full-body checkup, Xu Nian was brought back to the Chi family manor.

Holding her medical report, Chi Yu said to Xu Nian, "Wife, I'm going on a business trip abroad for half a month. During this time, you need to eat well and take good care of your health, okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself. Besides, there are so many maids and servants at home, what could possibly happen to me?" Xu Nian sat in the garden drinking tea, her expression softening as she spoke to Chi Yu.

"Wife, wait for me to come back." Chi Yu kissed Xu Nian's forehead, then left reluctantly, taking Xu Nian's medical report with him.

As soon as he left the Chi family manor, Chi Yu tore the medical report to shreds, a cold expression creeping onto his face.

With a cold face, he made a phone call and destroyed all of Xu Nian's medical examination records.

He took a few skilled bodyguards with him and flew abroad.

Chi Yu would video call Xu Nian every day to let her know he was safe and sound, telling her what he had done that day and who he had met.

After watching the video chat for several days, Xu Nian noticed something strange.

Behind Chi Yu was always an unchanging white wall. His complexion and spirits were not good, and from time to time, one could hear people cursing in foreign languages.

"Chi Yu, have you been working very hard these past few days?" Xu Nian asked, frowning.

"Wife, you finally care about me. I'm so touched." Chi Yu joked, trying to dodge Xu Nian's question.

"Chi Yu, I don't like being lied to, and I hate being lied to the most." Xu Nian's cold expression made Chi Yu's playful expression freeze.

"Wife, I really didn't lie to you," Chi Yu hurriedly protested.

“Chi Yu, although I didn’t hear much, I did hear it: the ward, the patient, how is the situation today? Do you want me to say more?” Xu Nian’s confident expression made Chi Yu’s smile disappear.

"Wife, can we talk about this after I get back?" Chi Yu forced a smile.

"Chi Yu, is there something wrong with your health?" Xu Nian looked at the person in the video with concern.

Chi Yu immediately swore that he was fine and had no health problems. If Xu Nian didn't believe him, he could go back and prove it to her in person.

Xu Nian was speechless, but seeing him like this, her worries subsided.

"Chi Yu, come back soon." Xu Nian felt that since the car accident, she had become more and more dependent on Chi Yu.

She was probably moved and touched when she saw him rushing towards her without regard for his own safety.

The two talked for a long time before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Xu Nian thought she had nothing to do, so she went for a walk in the garden. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Chi's mother rushing back.

"Mom, why are you so anxious?" Xu Nian had just finished asking when Chi's mother grabbed her left hand tightly.

"Niannian, where exactly did Chi Yu go?" Chi's mother's words made Xu Nian's heart skip a beat.

"Mom, what happened? He said he was going on a business trip and has been gone for several days. He didn't say where he was going." Xu Nian's heart jumped when she thought of Chi Yu's unusual behavior.

"Oh no, this stubborn fool, how could he act so impulsively?" Chi's mother's smile turned bitter.

"Mom, what happened?" Xu Nian was still confused, but she knew that Chi Yu was definitely hiding something from her.

Looking at her daughter-in-law, Chi's mother was filled with mixed emotions.

She had also heard how her son had managed to marry this daughter-in-law.

But since the matter was settled, and their family wasn't poor, it wasn't like they had wronged her.

Moreover, her son has gone to such lengths for her now; his good intentions cannot be overlooked.

If Chi Yu won't tell her, then let her, as his mother, do it.

With a heavy heart, Chi's mother said, "Niannian, Chi Yu went abroad to get his tubal ligation done for you."

"What?" Xu Nian couldn't understand why Chi Yu wanted to get a tubal ligation.

Chi's mother sighed. "Niannian, you definitely haven't seen your medical report, have you?"

Xu Nian shook her head; she hadn't seen it at all, Chi Yu wouldn't let her see it.

“You can’t get pregnant and have children. After Chi Yu found out, he contacted the hospital to have a tubal ligation. But hospitals in China don’t perform this surgery since he doesn’t have children. He said he was going on a business trip, but he actually went abroad to have the surgery.” Chi’s mother was also heartbroken; she still hoped to hold her grandchildren.

Now, things have gotten worse; the son has completely blocked that path.

Fearing they would make things difficult for Xu Nian, he simply decided to resolve the root of the problem completely.

Xu Nian stared wide-eyed in shock, blankly looking at Chi's mother. Only after Chi nodded again did Xu Nian process the news.

She hurriedly pulled out her phone and dialed that familiar number, hoping it wasn't too late.

But thinking about Chi Yu's expression these past few days, Xu Nian's hopes sank little by little.

The call connected, and on the other end of the line was Chi Yu, looking exhausted. He smiled and said to her, "Wife, you already miss me?"

"Chi Yu, how could you make this decision without saying a word? Are you going to make me feel guilty for the rest of my life?" Xu Nian didn't know what others thought, but in everyone's traditional view, children have always been a continuation of the family line.

Chi Yu's family also needs a child to inherit their wealth.

"Wife, you know everything." Chi Yu dared not joke around anymore, and his expression began to panic.

"Chi Yu, I know everything." Xu Nian nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Wife, don't cry, it's just a child. If we can't have one, my parents can have another one. They're still young anyway." Chi Yu's nonchalant words infuriated his mother.

"You brat, are you even speaking human language? Your mother is already so old, why would I have another child? Do I have no shame?" Chi's mother appeared in the phone camera, her finger pointing at Chi Yu trembling, clearly furious.

Chi's mother wished she could beat this brat to death. She had kindly told Xu Nian all this so that he could get to love his wife sooner.

He did this after they got married, and now he's betraying her.

"Mom, you're here too!" Chi Yu said with an awkward smile, then looked away guiltily at his mother's angry expression.

"Chi Yu, you really are my good son." Chi's mother sneered repeatedly.

Chi Yu quickly tried to appease her. "Mom, don't think of yourself as old. You're still young! If you don't take Dad out, you look like a girl in her early twenties. You wouldn't guess you're a mother."

"Wife, do you think what I said is right?" Chi Yu winked at Xu Nian.

“Chi Yu is right, you look like he’s older sister.” Xu Nian nodded vigorously.

"Alright, you two are flirting in front of me, do you think I'm blind?" Although she said that, Chi's mother couldn't help but smile so wide it almost reached her ears.

"Mom, what I told my wife is all true." Chi Yu said many nice things, finally making his mother very happy.

After hanging up the phone with Chi Yu, Chi's mother left with a big smile on her face, looking extremely happy.
