The main problem was that she didn't know at the time; she only heard her mother mention it a few times after returning to China.

But she couldn't find an opportunity to come over then, and after giving birth, that incident happened, leaving her even less time to focus on anything else.

Now that she's here, I'll naturally take a good look at her.

When Ji Lei went to see Xiao Chen, Dongfang Tinglan suddenly came to Gong Yixue's side and whispered something.

"Xue'er".

"Um."

"Now that you're back, you should take a good look at your aunt. You can tell she really wants a child. I just don't know if at her age, she'll be able to have a child, or if you'll give her hope only to disappoint her."

Dongfang Tinglan said with great concern.

Although they had never met this sister-in-law, based on their previous interactions, she seemed to be a good person.

Just the fact that she could endure such harassment from the fake "Old Madam Gong" and still serve her her whole life shows that she is not a bad person.

Otherwise, ordinary people would have already caused a huge uproar.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue looked at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "I will do my best."

Dongfang Tinglan nodded.

...

The Gong family.

However, the current Gong family villa has been demolished and rebuilt.

As soon as they arrived home, everyone saw Chi Qiao supporting Gong Yuanyuan as they stood at the door, lost in thought.

When the vehicle stopped, Gong Yuanyuan hurried over, with Chi Qiao following closely behind with concern.

Although it wasn't his first time being a father, you could tell he was still very nervous.

As soon as Gong Beize got out of the car, Gong Yuanyuan immediately said, "Big Brother."

Chi Qiao called out at the same time, "Master."

Upon hearing this, Gong Beize nodded to Gong Yuanyuan.

He then looked at Chi Qiao and said with a smile, "It's time to change how you address her."

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao immediately realized what was happening and said, "Big brother."

The family entered the villa in a joyful atmosphere.

Upon entering, I saw the little girl brought by the nanny. The little girl was about a year old and kept calling "Mama" and "Mama" as soon as she saw Gong Yuanyuan.

When Gong Yuanyuan reached out to hug him, Chi Qiao immediately stopped her, saying, "Let me do it, don't upset the baby."

After saying that, he immediately reached out to hug the little girl, but the little girl refused and started crying and calling for her mom.

Gong Yuanyuan couldn't bear to listen anymore, so she pushed Chi Qiao away and hugged the little girl to comfort her.

Chi Qiao was about to say something when Gong Yuanyuan glared at her. "Chi Qiao! If you keep this up, do you believe I'll abort my baby? If having a second child means Tangyuan will suffer, I'd rather not have one!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao panicked.

Heaven knows how much effort he put into persuading his wife to have a second child. The reason his wife agreed was because he said he wanted to give the first child someone to keep him company, so that Tangyuan wouldn't be all alone after they passed away.

That was indeed his intention, but seeing how hard Gong Yuanyuan was still working despite being pregnant, he was very worried about the safety of the baby in her womb.

Just as everyone was about to step forward to persuade him, Chi Qiao immediately begged for forgiveness, "Wife, that's not what I meant. Don't be angry. I know I was wrong. You can hug Tangyuan for as long as you want, as long as you're happy."

Seeing that Chi Qiao was so flexible and adaptable, Gong Beize and the others felt much more at ease with him.

He originally thought that Chi Qiao wouldn't know what to do, given his personality, since he had experienced Chi Qiao's temperament firsthand. But now it seems that love can change a person – that's the truth.

Gong Yuanyuan coaxed her daughter and went straight past Chi Qiao to sit on the sofa.

Upon seeing this, Chi Qiao quickly followed.

Seeing this, Ji Lei invited everyone to sit down.

While everyone was engrossed in their conversation, Gong Yixue leaned close to Dongfang Tinglan's ear and whispered something to her.

After a short while, Dongfang Tinglan nodded.

He then went over and said a few words to Ji Lei.

Then, the three of them slowly left the living room and went to Ji Lei's room.

"Are you telling the truth? Can Yi Xue really get me pregnant and give birth?"

Ji Lei's voice trembled slightly when she said this.

No one can understand the torment and pain she has endured over the years. In front of her husband, she had to pretend to be nonchalant, and she didn't even dare to show any affection for children in front of the maids.

Over the years, she and Gong Nanting have seen countless doctors, and almost every doctor has told her that they are both in good health and that having children will not be a problem.

Several years passed, but she still didn't get pregnant. During that time, she even tried IVF, but all her attempts were unsuccessful.

Finally, one day she mustered up her courage and went with Gong Nanting to see the so-called "miracle doctor who can cure ten thousand babies".

This time she finally got the result, but it wasn't the result they had hoped for.

The doctor's exact words were, "Both of you are in good health and fully capable of having children, but you two just can't get pregnant together."

Ji Lei asked incredulously, "Why?"

"Your problem is an antibody issue. Simply put, your husband's sperm is a kind of 'antigen' to you. When sperm enters your body, your body will instinctively activate an immune function to prevent them from combining. In this way, the two will never have a chance to meet, so getting pregnant is naturally out of the question."

The news was like a bomb, shattering all hope.

Therefore, for a long time after this incident, she was heartbroken and confronted Gong Nanting, asking him to leave. She told Gong Nanting to choose someone else to marry, as this was the best arrangement.

But Gong Nanting did not agree. In fact, in order to keep her, he said he could live without children for the rest of his life, but he could not live without her.

If she insists on leaving, he will choose to follow her to the ends of the earth regardless of everything.

In the end, she was moved by Gong Nanting's love. Over the past ten years, although they have lived a relatively good life, neither of them dared to mention the child, because it was a pain that would forever remain in their hearts.

Now that she's heard the situation can be reversed, how could she not be excited?

Compared to Ji Lei's excitement, Gong Yixue appeared much calmer.

"If it really is just an antibody problem as you mentioned, Auntie, there's nothing I can do. But to determine the specifics, I need to examine you personally."

Ji Lei nodded, indicating her understanding.

But after so many failures, she still felt uneasy, worried that in the end it would all be for nothing, and her hopes would turn into disappointment.

"Yi Xue, what are the chances of success?"

Gong Yixue: "If it's just an antibody issue, the success rate is 95%. I'll have to wait until I finish the tests to see the specifics."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan quickly said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's check right away!"

Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue looked at Ji Lei and said, "Auntie, give me your hand, I want to take your pulse."

Ji Lei glanced at Dongfang Tinglan, who nodded to her in acknowledgment.

Ji Lei reached out her hand somewhat uneasily.
