But they had gotten along quite well before, and Shen Jingshao wasn't the type to hold grudges against children.

Wen Yixing was a little confused.

The car had arrived near the manor and began to slow down, gradually driving into the manor.

The manor was still beautifully maintained at this time of year. As soon as the car stopped, the butler and servants came to greet us.

"Sir, Miss, Young Master." The butler, holding an umbrella, walked to the car door.

Shen Jingshao got out of the car first, then turned around to help Wen Yixing out. After Wen Yixing stood up, Shen Jingshao asked the butler, "Is Dr. Charles here now?"

Butler: "Dr. Charles didn't come today. Should we inform him to come over, sir?"

Shen Jingshao: "Let him come over."

Butler: "Yes, sir."

The wind was a bit strong in the manor, and Shen Jingshao was worried that Wen Yixing would catch a cold, so he put his arm around her shoulder and walked into the house.

Wen Yixing turned to look at the butler who was contacting Dr. Charles, then looked at Shen Jingshao and asked, "Why are you contacting the doctor? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Jingshao: "No, you want him to come over and examine you."

Wen Yixing was a little confused: "Give me a checkup? I'm perfectly healthy."

Shen Jingshao thought for a moment and explained softly, "Yaoyao feels that you've been sleeping for a bit longer these past few days, and I'm worried that you might be pregnant."

Wen Yixing paused for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be like that. I wasn't pregnant like that. I could feel it myself."

Wen Yixing only remembered that after she became pregnant with Fang Jingyao, she started to lose her appetite and feel nauseous, with particularly obvious symptoms.

This time, I didn't have any of those symptoms at all.

"Didn't you take precautions?"

Wen Yixing glanced at Shen Jingshao, "Besides, I sleep for a long time, don't you know why?"

He would keep her up at night, which made her sleepy during the day.

Shen Jingshao coaxed softly, "Dr. Charles lives nearby. He'll be here soon. Let him check on you. It won't take long, so I can rest assured."

Wen Yixing thought about it and realized that Shen Jingshao's words made sense. Anyway, it wouldn't take long, so she felt at ease having a check-up.

She nodded: "Okay."

---

Dr. Charles arrived quickly; he was Shen Jingshao's private doctor who had been assigned to this place.

Dr. Charles regularly examines Wen Yixing and Fang Jingyao, so Wen Yixing is not unfamiliar with Dr. Charles.

After a series of examinations, Dr. Charles carefully reviewed the report before saying to Shen Jingshao, "Sir, I regret to inform you that Miss Wen is not pregnant."

Shen Jingshao remained unreadable, only exchanging a few words with Dr. Charles outside.

Fang Jingyao, who was in the living room, witnessed the whole thing.

Personally, he didn't really want his mother to get pregnant.

It's not that he's jealous of his younger siblings.

Actually, he really wanted a younger sister, but he was more worried about his mother's health than about having a sister.

He had heard Sheng Xia say before that his mother almost had a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to him.

He also knew that pregnancy was not easy for a woman and that she would have to go through many uncomfortable moments.

He knew that pregnancy was uncomfortable, childbirth was uncomfortable, and recovery was uncomfortable, and he didn't want his mother to take any risks.

But he also understood that this was something he couldn't control at all.

It depends on whether his mother wants to have the child or not.

Another point is that Fang Jingyao felt he couldn't quite understand Shen Jingshao's attitude.

Earlier on the plane, after learning that his mother might be pregnant, Shen Jingshao was not happy.

At first, Fang Jingyao fell into a misconception. He wondered if Shen Jingshao's unhappiness was because he didn't actually like his mother as much as he seemed to.

After all, a normal man's first reaction upon learning that the woman he likes is pregnant with his child should be happiness, nervousness, or surprise.

These emotions were completely absent from Shen Jingshao's mind.

Later, in the car, Fang Jingyao gradually figured things out.

Shen Jingshao's unhappiness might be for the same reason as his.

Shen Jingshao did not want children and did not want his mother to have children.

Wen Yixing looked up at the window and saw that Shen Jingshao and Dr. Charles were still talking.

In fact, Wen Yixing breathed a sigh of relief after learning that she was not pregnant.

Even if she were to get pregnant, now wouldn't be a good time; she has a lot of work and studies to do.

Once I start my postdoctoral studies, the pressure will definitely be greater, and this is simply not the right time to have a child.

Moreover, she really wasn't ready to have another child.

However, she had already thought it through during this examination.

If she is indeed pregnant this time, she will probably choose to keep the baby; she still can't bear to abort it.

——

The temperature outside was much colder than inside, and the sky was foggy.

Dr. Charles stood at the door. After listening to Shen Jingshao's words, he was somewhat surprised and advised, "Mr. Shen, you are still young. Are you sure you want to have surgery so soon? If you have the surgery, you won't be able to have children afterward. Please think about it again."

Shen Jingshao's expression remained unchanged, seemingly not taking Dr. Charles's words to heart at all. He simply glanced around the room and said, "My fiancée is not in good health, and I don't want her to get pregnant again. Dr. Charles, please help me schedule an appointment with the doctor."

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Dr. Charles agreed, "Yes, sir, I will make an appointment with the most suitable doctor for you. When would you like to have the procedure?"

Shen Jingshao: "The sooner the better."
