"Charles is currently preparing for a new research project and won't have time until after the new year."

Gu Ye frowned: "When after the New Year?"

Gu Jin said in a nonchalant tone, "In the second half of the year."

"I'm afraid that won't work. Could you ask him to come to Beijing after the New Year? Or maybe in March or April?"

"He promised to come back in the second half of the year, you should be grateful. Stop being so picky. That's settled, I'm going to get busy!"

Gu Jin finished speaking impatiently and hung up the phone before Gu Ye could reply.

Gu Ye gripped his phone, remained silent for a while, and then dialed Yu Jing's number.

Upon hearing what Gu Ye said, Yu Jing's first reaction was the same as Gu Ye's: "The second half of the year? This... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that won't work, right?"

“Charles is busy with research on a new project recently and will only have time in the second half of the year. Explain this to Yu Sheng and see what she says first.”

Yu Jing felt that Yu Sheng would definitely not agree, but she still said, "Okay!"

When Yu Jing dialed Yu Sheng's number, Yu Sheng had just parked his car outside Wu Xiaohong's office.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was Yu Jing calling. Her heart jumped into her throat, and an indescribable tension filled her body, making her head spin.

She slid the window down, letting in a cold wind that brought her back to her senses. With trembling hands, she pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

“I just contacted Charles, and he said he won’t have time until the second half of the year.”

Yu Jing's voice didn't sound like she was bullying anyone, but she was actually quite nervous at the moment.

Because she knew that Yu Sheng would definitely not agree to postpone the surgery until the second half of the year.

The outcome was as she had expected.

Yu Sheng was initially taken aback by Yu Jing's words. After a few seconds, she asked in a somewhat uncertain voice, "The second half of the year?"

"Yes, the second half of the year."

When is the second half of the year?

“Charles didn’t say.”

Yu Sheng let out a cold laugh.

Yu Jing asked uneasily, "What are you laughing at?"

Yu Sheng gripped the steering wheel, her eyes red-rimmed, and said, "You shouldn't have said Charles wouldn't be free until the second half of the year; you should have said I'd be free after I give birth!"

Do you think I'm lying to you?

"Aren't you lying to me?" Yu Sheng retorted.

“I’m not lying to you, Charles, really…”

Yu Sheng didn't want to hear a single word of Yu Jing's sophistry. She interrupted her, "Mom, make Charles perform the surgery on Xiao Cheng before the New Year, or I'll abort the child!"

The fish pipe wasn't loud, but every word it uttered was firm and powerful.

Yu Jing knew she wasn't joking.

but--

“Sheng Sheng, I really didn’t lie to you, I…”

"This time, I'm giving you one day. If you can't do it, you know the consequences."

After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Yu Jing a chance to speak.

She didn't get out of the car immediately. She closed her eyes and calmed herself down for a while before entering the studio.

Wu Xiaohong was already waiting for her in the meeting room on the second floor. As soon as she saw her, she greeted her warmly, "How was your trip to the Maldives?"

Yu Sheng said with a smile, "It brought me some unexpected gains."

"Really? What did you learn? Would you mind telling me?"

As Wu Xiaohong spoke, she brewed flower tea for Yu Sheng.

When she placed the teacup in front of Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng said, "For example, I originally only lived for Xiao Cheng and didn't care about my own life or death, but when I saw the sunrise and sunset, the ebb and flow of the tide, I suddenly felt that I was actually quite lucky to live in this world."

Wu Xiaohong said happily, "I'm glad you think that way. What would you like to talk about today?"

As Wu Xiaohong finished speaking, Yu Sheng gradually wiped the smile off her face. She watched the chrysanthemums in the teacup slowly bloom as the hot water steeped in it, and remained silent for a while before saying, "Do you remember when I came to see you the night before my embryo transfer?"

The night before the embryo transfer, Yu Sheng couldn't make up her mind and went to Wu Xiaohong, hoping she could give her some advice. Wu Xiaohong told her clearly that no one could give her advice on that matter, and she could only make the decision herself.

Later, she accompanied Gu Ye to a psychological counseling session, but did not tell Wu Xiaohong about her decision. After that, she went on vacation to the Maldives, and today is the last time we'll see each other.

Wu Xiaohong nodded: "Of course I remember. Did you have the transplant in the end?"

Yu Sheng countered, "What do you think?"

"It must have been done."

Why do you say that?

“If you hadn’t done it, you and Gu would definitely have argued about it, and then you two wouldn’t have gone to the Maldives.”

Yu Sheng chuckled: "You are indeed a psychological counselor. Your logical thinking is very clear. In Gu Ye's opinion, I did have an embryo transfer."

Wu Xiaohong frowned: "What do you mean? What do you mean that, in Gu Ye's opinion, you really wanted to have an embryo transfer? Didn't you have one?"

Yu Sheng nodded and then told Wu Xiaohong everything that had happened on the morning of the embryo transfer.

Wu Xiaohong looked surprised after hearing this.

Even though she has treated hundreds of patients over the years, she has never treated someone like Gu Ye or Yu Sheng, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She took a sip of water, forcing herself to return to her usual professional demeanor, and said, "Since you know that Gu also has a split personality, you should know that what you are doing is very dangerous. Once he finds out that you lied to him, he will not let you off the hook."

“I know, but I have no other choice but to take the risk. During my time in the Maldives, I kept thinking about what I should do after Xiaocheng’s surgery. I racked my brains and came up with two solutions.”

Wu Xiaohong asked curiously, "Which two methods?"

"I told Gu Ye the truth, that I wasn't pregnant, and that I had lied to him."
