“Okay,” the research institute, funded by the Gu family and staffed by the Ziya family, is second to none in the world. “When do you plan to put it into military use?”

Military applications are superior to civilian applications, and this applies at all times.

"We haven't found a suitable manufacturer yet. We plan to arrange a supplier symposium in a few days. The fourth-generation cell repair device should also be launched soon," Gu Nanyan said.

Shen Beining smiled and said, "It's a good thing, beneficial to the people." The fourth-generation cell repair device has been released, and the usage fees for the third, second, and first generations will all be reduced, which is a good thing for the people.

Moreover, the fourth generation is definitely more powerful than its predecessors in terms of performance and provides new solutions for diseases caused by genetic issues.

Shen Beining's husband is a young master from a collateral branch of the Ziya family. He also studies genes and cells, so he is naturally more interested in this than others.

That's when the topic truly began to unfold.

For some reason, Gu Nanyan's eyelids twitched, and sure enough.

Shen Beirong then spoke, "I haven't asked yet, Nan Yan, you and your younger brother have been married for almost a year, when are you planning to have a child?"

"Second sister," she could only manage to say, "An'an and I are still young and want to enjoy a few more years of our life as a couple. We're not in a rush to have children."

Gu Nanyan's original intention was not to have children.

Anyway, she gave birth to the child. Shen Beian is the youngest son of the Shen family. His nephews and nieces are all grown up, so it's natural that his children won't inherit the family business.

As for Gu Nanyan, the Gu family has many offspring, and the so-called eldest son succession is just a pretense.

Old Master Shen put down his teacup, rubbing his fingers along the rim without saying a word.

“According to the laws of the Empire, the right to give birth belongs to women.” Gu Nanyan smiled, his eyes curving slightly, his phoenix eyes filled with countless stars and tenderness. “Of course I respect An’an, but An’an is not suitable to be a father.”

Shen Beiyu himself is a lawyer, so he is naturally very familiar with the laws of the empire.

In the empire, women had absolute reproductive rights.

Actually, what she said was quite clear: she wouldn't take it.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't know how.

Although Grandpa Shen has many grandchildren, the older generation is like this: they are not afraid of having many children and grandchildren. Moreover, since his youngest son has not yet had a son, the father naturally hopes that his son will also be surrounded by children and grandchildren in the future.

The daughter-in-law directly stated that she would not have children.

Shen Beizong naturally saw through his father's thoughts and quickly said, "Nan Yan, you are still young and your minds are like this. In a few years, you may change." He winked at Gu Nan Yan.

Gu Nanyan merely curled his lips slightly, "Father, I will not regret my decision, and I am unlikely to change it."

Gu Nanyan knew from a young age, or rather, the entire Gu family knew that once a decision was made, no matter if it was right or wrong, they would carry it out even if they had to crawl on their knees!

This is precisely what makes them cautious and meticulous, almost never making mistakes.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and Shen Beirong, who had brought up the topic, was at a loss for words.

However, Gu Nanyan's words were correct; An'ge'er is indeed, at least for now, not unsuitable to be a father.

“Well, Nan Yan, this is a matter between you and your husband, so you should decide it together, right?” Shen Beining smiled at Gu Nan Yan.

Although there was a significant age gap between the younger brother and the others, they all knew how much Gu Nanyan had made concessions for them since childhood.

If my younger brother were to ask, she probably wouldn't refuse.

This time, Gu Nanyan did not reply, but only smiled faintly.

Seeing that his elders were like this, Chen Juanqing could not reply. He simply sat there, brewing tea and preparing incense.
