My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

The banquet was over.

Qian Guanshu and Ye Wenhan saw the last wave of guests off.

Qian Guanshu took Ye Wenhan back home.

In the car on the way back, Qian Guanshu’s face was dark with anger.

Ye Wenhan didn’t know why his father looked so displeased this time, but after so many years together, he could sense his mood and wisely kept silent.

He was baffled. His father had seemed in high spirits throughout the banquet, cheerful and congenial with everyone. He had not sensed any displeasure from him at all.

While he was puzzling over this, Qian Guanshu suddenly spoke, “The reporter this afternoon…”

“Hmm?” Ye Wenhan turned to look at Qian Guanshu.

Which reporter?

Was there a problem?

Hadn’t the press conference gone smoothly?

Although some of the questions had left him at a loss, and it annoyed him to think that most of the spotlight had been stolen by Song Zhizhi, wasn’t everything going quite well on the whole?!

He kept silent.

After all these years, he had at least learned to read his father’s expressions.

“If it is just a coincidence, we will let it go. But if it is a plot, we must be on guard,” Qian Guanshu said through gritted teeth.

Ye Wenhan maintained his silence, looking thoughtful.

In truth, he had no idea what Qian Guanshu was talking about.

Meanwhile, in another black car.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi were on their way home.

Wei Ziming was driving them.

In the quiet car, Song Zhizhi leaned against Ji Baijian’s shoulder.

It was late, after all, and she was a bit tired.

Song Zhizhi looked at the brightly lit night scene of Jin City with weary eyes.

There were many times when, in the middle of the night or early morning, she found herself deeply moved by the events unfolding before her eyes, as if everything she had previously experienced was just a dream, as if she were existing in a parallel space conjured by imagination, as if her real self was already dead.

Because, after all… she had died once.

Does the suppose of resurrection truly exist?

Each time she doubted her own existence, she would lean even closer to Ji Baijian, trying to feel his warmth, seeking assurance from his presence in the realities of the world.

The more she did this, the more she feared that everything was merely an illusion, like the moon’s reflection in the water.

She feared that everything was indeed just a dream.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Baijian seemed to sense Song Zhizhi’s mood.

Song Zhizhi just smiled slightly and shook her head.

Occasionally, even she indulged in groundless complaints.

This was perhaps a common malady among women, and she was not immune.

She shifted her position, sitting up from Ji Baijian’s embrace.

She said, “There was a reporter at this afternoon’s press conference, a rather suspicious one.”

“Hmm?” Ji Baijian’s eyebrows raised in curiosity.

Song Zhizhi said, “The reporter claimed he was an autobiographical journalist with a penchant for writing news from a personal perspective, so he deliberately focused on some private matters related to Ye Wenhan. One of his questions seemed in passing but was unusually sharp.”

“What was it?”

“He said, Qian Guanshu and Ye Wenhan bear striking resemblance,” Song Zhizhi said, looking at Ji Baijian, her gaze filled with scrutiny.

On this planet, apart from them, she did not think anyone else knew about the connection between Qian Guanshu and Ye Wenhan, maybe except Jun Minghan. She always felt that Qian Guanshu’s success in murdering Ye Taiting and arranging for Ye Wenhan’s succession had a lot to do with Jun Minghan.

But Jun Minghan wouldn’t do such a thing, he wouldn’t shoot himself in the foot.

So, the only one left… was Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian said, “Yes, I arranged it.”

He admitted it without hesitation.

Song Zhizhi didn’t know how to feel about it.

Ji Baijian actually told her everything she wanted to know, yet she always maintained a writhing reluctance, a fear of knowing too much.

She always felt that with this knowledge, she would become a stumbling block to Ji Baijian’s pursuits.

She wanted to be straightforward with him, but there always seemed to be inevitable reasons preventing her.

They both were in the same predicament.

Ji Baijian explained, “I’ve always thought of using public opinion to expose the illicit relationship between Qian Guanshu and Ye Wenhan, holding back only to let things escalate further. Earlier, Ye Wenhan always followed Qian Guanshu’s arrangements to the letter and there was little chance to incite conflict between them. But it’s different now. With all the power yet being controlled by Qian Guanshu, Ye Wenhan must be uncomfortable. If we can create a rift between them at this juncture, Ye Wenhan might do something extreme to Qian Guanshu.”

Song Zhizhi went silent.

She silently pondered over what Ji Baijian had said.

So Ji Baijian’s current plan is to create a rift and sow discord between Qian Guanshu and Ye Wenhan’s relationship.

According to Ji Baijian, the reason they did not expose their relationship initially was because Ye Wenhan had no thoughts of his own and completely obeyed Qian Guanshu’s arrangements in everything. It was impossible to spark a conflict between them, and they didn’t have the ability to allow Qian Guanshu and Ye Wenhan to verify their DNA in public. Any presented paternity test results would definitely be tampered with, so it was difficult to expose their relationship to the public; therefore, Ji Baijian had never thought about going down this path.

Hence, he chose the second option.

Mutual destruction.

It should be called mutual destruction, right?

Qian Guanshu is old and cunning; it’s not easy for ordinary people to trick him.

And the person he would probably least guard against in his lifetime is none other than Ye Wenhan.

Ye Wenhan’s ambitions are growing but he is always under the shadow of Qian Guanshu, never truly holding power. Considering Ye Wenhan’s personality, he must be restless. At this moment, if anything threatens Ye Wenhan’s position, he will surely act without mercy.

Ye Wenhan’s ruthlessness was something Song Zhizhi knew all too well.

In order to protect his reputation and keep people from discovering his true identity, even the act of patricide could not be ruled out!

Especially under various circumstances, Ye Wenhan could do anything extreme beyond imagination.

This time, Ji Baijian pointed the spear at Ye Wenhan, taking advantage of Ye Wenhan’s foolishness and ignorance!

Song Zhizhi looked up at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian always quietly gave her time to think, as if he could see through all her thoughts and easily understand what she was thinking and what she had figured out.

So at this moment, Ji Baijian nodded.

It seemed like he agreed with what she was thinking.

“Right now, the largest domestic media company, the Yin He Group, is still controlled by Qian Guanshu, so it’s hard to sway public opinion,” Song Zhizhi explains the current state of affairs.

Anyway, Ji Baijian’s plans were always correct.

He planned each step meticulously, moving forward according to his goals.

Song Zhizhi always felt that everything seemed to be under Ji Baijian’s control. He knew clearly what needed to be done at each point in time.

Ji Baijian was strong.

Really strong.

In such a situation, facing all this power and complex relationships, he seemed to be an entity in a league of his own.

“Yin Bin is in the Yin He Group. He’s working on earning the trust of Yin Ying and Weng Cheng. Once trust is gained, he may have contact with either Qian Guanshu or Ye Wenhan. As long as Yin Bin can reach them, regaining control of the Yin He Group is just a matter of time. My current actions are merely skimming the surface, not making too much noise, just so that the developments later on don’t seem too abrupt.”

“Hmm.” Song Zhizhi nods.

Ji Baijian pulls Song Zhizhi back into his arms.

Song Zhizhi snuggles affectionately against him.

Ji Baijian says, “I know about your anxieties.”

Ji Baijian knows everything.

“I know you’re afraid that your family will become sacrificial pawns in this power struggle. My Lady, I can’t guarantee that I can fully protect your family, but I promise that I will do my best,” Ji Baijian reassures her.

“Ji Baijian, I actually believe in you,” Song Zhizhi states seriously, “but I am really scared of falling into the same trap as before. My past experiences make me always fear that I am walking the same old path, worried that no matter how many twists and turns the process takes, the results of my past life will still be the results of my past life. I believe I lack the ability to change that.”

“That won’t happen,” Ji Baijian assures her. “Since God has given you the chance to be reborn, it’s for you to make changes! Man can conquer nature, especially when I’m around!”

Song Zhizhi quietly leans against Ji Baijian’s chest.

They really can love each other deeply, to the point of becoming one.

But there also seems to be a gulf of ten thousand miles between them!

This is probably due to her lack of confidence.

She always felt Ji Baijian was elusive, that she lacked the capability to hold on to him!

The car stopped in the underground garage.

Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian get out.

Wei Ziming drives away.

Wei Ziming can also sense Song Zhizhi’s anxieties.

He also knows everything Song Zhizhi feels.

When you are with a strong person and you are not strong yourself, you become less and less confident.

Song Zhizhi needs to work on strengthening herself!

She needs to learn, to become strong herself!

When they reach home, both of them have taken a bath and it’s already 1 o’clock at midnight when they lie in bed.

They are behaving decently tonight.

Ji Baijian has always been diligent. He always said that hard work pays off.

In this lifetime, he has everything under control, except for one thing…having a child has always been a failure for him.

This is probably the most down-to-earth aspect of him, as seen by Song Zhizhi.

Sometimes, thinking about it even feels funny.

She buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong and rhythmic heartbeat, each beat seeming to seep into her heart.

“We’re going to the hospital tomorrow,” she said.

The man lying beside her obviously stiffened a little.

Song Zhizhi smiled slightly.

She thought, no matter what.

She would never regret having a child with Ji Baijian!

All night.

Somebody tosses and turns, unable to sleep. The next day he wore massive dark circles under his eyes.

Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian and found it really amusing, “Is getting a physical checkup so daunting for you? Don’t you usually have regular check-ups? Is Jihong Group so stingy that it doesn’t even offer employees physical check-ups? Be careful of lawsuits by your employees!”

“Is this check-up the same as the others?”

“What’s different about them!” Song Zhizhi exclaimed, “They’re all the same check-ups.”

Ji Baijian displayed an attitude of not stooping to her level.

Did she come across as unreasonable?!

After both their morning routines, they changed clothes.

They wore casual clothes due to the hospital visit.

Song Zhizhi put on a white sportswear set decorated with simple three-dimensional graphics. It looked casual and made her appear unusually younger.

Ji Baijian also wore sportswear, but in black. It complemented hers, and they could pass for a matching couple’s attire.

The classic black and white combination.

Ji Baijian rarely dressed like that, so she took a few more glances at him.

Ji Baijian watched Song Zhizhi through the French windows and asked with a corner of his mouth quirked up, “Do you like what you see?”

“There’s nothing to look at.” Song Zhizhi averted her eyes.

No matter what he wore, he looked… handsome. So, what was there to see?

Ji Baijian wasn’t too bothered by Song Zhizhi’s gaze.

He was used to it anyway.

Used to countless eyes on him.

It had been that way since he was young.

He turned away to go rummage through the closet.

“What are you looking for?” Song Zhizhi asked, watching him.

Ji Baijian didn’t answer.

In a while, he retrieved a black hat, mask, and sunglasses.

Song Zhizhi watched as Ji Baijian completely concealed himself. It was almost impossible to recognize him as Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian seemed quite satisfied with his disguise. He reassured, “This will do.”

“Ji Baijian, isn’t this excessive?”

“I’m not used to the smell of the hospital.” Ji Baijian seemed to justify himself.

“Then what’s with the sunglasses?”

“To protect me from radiation. The hospital has all sorts of high-tech…”

Could you come up with a better excuse?

How will protecting your eyes from radiation help?!

“Let’s go.” Ji Baijian seemed completely unfazed.

Song Zhizhi held her annoyance and nodded.

They were just about to leave.

All of a sudden, Ji Baijian paused, “Hang on a second.”

Song Zhizhi knit her eyebrows in confusion.

Ji Baijian got her a hat, sunglasses, and a mask too.

Song Zhizhi stood and watched as Ji Baijian fiddled with her attire.

Song Zhizhi caught her reflection in the mirror and blurted, “Ji Baijian!”

She was edged on.

She felt this was just a regular check-up and there was nothing shameful about it.

“Just bear with it, honey. The smell of the hospitals…. Plus, if you got radiated, life would be meaningless for me…”

Oh, stop it.

Cut the crap.

In the end.

Song Zhizhi ended up in the most prestigious private hospital in Jin City with Ji Baijian in this ridiculous attire.

They received VIP treatment throughout their visit.

The two of them entered the doctor’s office.

During the doctor’s brief consultation.

“What’s your name, sir?” The doctor prepared to write.

“Ji Ji Jian,” Ji Baijian mumbled.

The doctor paused, “What did you say, sir?”

“Ji Ji Jian !!}

“I’m sorry, sir, but…”

“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi lost patience.

Ji Baijian paused, then nodded, “Ji Baijian.”

“Ah, Ji Baijian.” The doctor repeated.

It seemed the mere repetition of his name irked Ji Baijian.

“What about you, ma’am?”

“Song Zhizhi.”

The doctor recorded the details.

Then, he asked their ages.

The doctor asked, “Are you dealing with infertility?”

“Haven’t you checked yet?” Ji Baijian sounded flustered.

Although he seemed aloof in every other aspect, he seemed particularly sensitive to this matter.

Meanwhile, Song Zhizhi chuckled on the side.

The doctor cleared his throat, “I didn’t declare it a diagnosis, I was asking if you suspected so?”

“We’re here solely for a routine checkup… ”

“Don’t listen to him, we’re suspecting infertility here.” Song Zhizhi couldn’t bear it anymore.

She took off her hat, sunglasses, and the mask.

Ji Baijian saw Song Zhizhi’s actions, and the words at the tip of his tongue froze.

Song Zhizhi explained, “We’ve been married for 2 years. Although we’ve been using contraception, for the past 2-3 months we’ve been planning a baby but haven’t been successful. So, we’re suspecting there are some issues with our health, thus we wanted to get a complete checkup.”

“Actually, not getting pregnant in 2-3 months is very normal. Generally, we only begin to suspect infertility if natural conception isn’t achieved over the course of 1 year.” The doctor laid out the facts.

Ji Baijian turned to glance at Song Zhizhi.

Despite the heavy disguise, Song Zhizhi could sense the amusement on his face.

Song Zhizhi rolled her eyes.

She addressed the doctor, “But we are really eager and don’t want to wait too long. We want to know the condition of our health.”

“Well, that’s possible. I can arrange the tests for you according to infertility criteria.”

“Alright, thank you, doctor.”

“You’re welcome.”

The doctor scheduled various tests for each of them.

Two nurses accompanied them throughout the process of the tests.

Since the tests for male and female reproductive health were separate, they had to take the tests separately.

Song Zhizhi had more tests.

It took her about two hours.

The test results that she had in hand showed no apparent issues with her health.

So… was there something wrong with Ji Baijian?!

If Ji Baijian knew the issue was with his own health, she could imagine the extent to which he would crumble.

She walked into the doctor’s office with the test reports in hand.

Just as she was about to enter, she paused.

The woman sitting inside was … Qin Keqin?!

Was something wrong with her health? Did she need to visit the gynecologist?

Well, that made sense.

Women of a certain age do tend to have gynecological issues.

She turned to wait outside.

She overheard the doctor asking, “Have you had sex recently?”

She had to admit.

Women were born gossips.

She had always assumed Qin Keqin and Yin Bin didn’t share a good relationship, but she had no idea to what extent.

Song Zhizhi stayed and eavesdropped instead of walking away.

Qin Keqin raised her eyebrows in confusion.

She wondered why the doctor was asking such a question.

She confided, “No, it’s been a long time.”

“Exactly how long?”

Qin Keqin seemed a bit embarrassed as she asked, “Is it directly related to my physical condition?”

If it’s not relevant, she can choose not to answer.

The doctor smiled slightly, “Miss Qin suspects that she has reached menopause and thus hasn’t had her period for over two months. Of course, it’s common for women at your age to experience menopause. But given your condition, I personally don’t think that’s the case. Therefore, when we run some tests, we need to be clear about whether you might be pregnant.”

“What?!” Qin Keqin was visibly startled at that moment.

How could it be?!

Song Zhizhi, who was waiting outside the door, was also surprised.

But for someone who didn’t know Qin Keqin’s age, it was hard to guess how old she really was.

“Women in their 40s getting pregnant is quite common in our hospital, many of them conceived naturally, not through artificial insemination. It’s perfectly normal. With the good living standards of today, people take good care of themselves, and the average age of menopause has been delayed. Miss Qin, there’s no need to panic.”

Song Zhizhi was a bit overwhelmed.

What does she mean by ‘getting pregnant even in their 40s is quite common’?

Why is it so difficult for a twenty-year-old like her then?

Apparently.

Qin Keqin was even more hard-pressed at the moment.

She was genuinely shocked. It took her a while before she could say, “It shouldn’t happen just once, right? I’m at this age, how could I possibly get pregnant at the first try!”

“If your husband is in good health, it’s not impossible!”

Well.

If Ji Baijian heard this, he would probably knock himself out in disbelief.

“He…” Qin Keqin initially scoffed instinctively but then had to admit, “He does take good care of himself.”

“Then it’s possible,” the doctor concluded. “Miss Qin can first have an ultrasound to determine whether she is pregnant. Once confirmed, I can then proceed with a series of follow-up tests for you.”

“Okay.” Qin Keqin nodded.

Seeing Qin Keqin coming out, Song Zhizhi quickly moved to the side.

She wasn’t sure why she was avoiding Qin Keqin; she just felt that Qin Keqin might feel a bit embarrassed.

She herself would also feel very embarrassed.

Meeting in the gynecology department like this, with such peculiar reasons, would naturally be awkward.

Only after watching Qin Keqin leave did Song Zhizhi walk into the doctor’s office.

Looking at the examination results, the doctor said, “Your uterus, uterine lining, ovaries, follicles, cervix, and fallopian tubes are all normal. You should be fine. Let’s wait for your husband. We’ll determine your joint issue when he’s here.”

“Hasn’t he come back yet?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“He’s taking a fluid test, so it takes some time.”

“I see…” Song Zhizhi raised her eyebrows.

“Yes.” The doctor nodded.

Song Zhizhi felt curious about how they obtained his fluid sample.

She left the doctor’s office and went to the VIP waiting room next door.

She waited for a while.

She didn’t wait for Ji Baijian to return, but Qin Keqin came back.

There was someone else in front of Qin Keqin, so she also entered the VIP waiting room and saw Song Zhizhi there.

The two met in this awkward situation.

Instinctively, Qin Keqin hid her test report behind her back the moment she saw her.

Song Zhizhi pretended not to see it.

At that moment, Song Zhizhi deeply regretted taking off her hat, glasses, and mask.

Now she was lamenting, regretting her earlier ridicule of Ji Baijian’s foolish actions.

Hence, she must never question Ji Baijian’s behavior in this lifetime.

She sighed inwardly.

On the contrary, Qin Keqin seemed calm and asked, “Are you here for a check-up, Zhizhi?”

“Um.” Song Zhizhi nodded, “You too?”

“Yep.”

Then the two fell into an awkward silence.

Neither of them was sure what to ask next.

They both seemed to be wary of venturing into the other’s private matters.

The silence was indeed unsettling.

Song Zhizhi was somewhat curious.

Was Qin Keqin really pregnant?

Or had she indeed reached menopause?

She glanced quickly at the ultrasound report in Qin Keqin’s hand, but of course, she couldn’t really see anything.

Qin Keqin seemed to notice Song Zhizhi’s gaze.

She pressed her lips together, and asked, “What are you wondering about?”

Song Zhizhi was taken aback.

Was she that obvious?

Of course! You practically had your eyeballs glued on my ultrasound report!

Song Zhizhi laughed, admitting honestly, “I unintentionally heard your conversation with the doctor in his office. I have been trying for a baby with Ji Baijian, but to no avail. We came to the hospital today to find out who was having the issue. Now, seeing that you’re pregnant, I’m worried I may lose it.”

Qin Keqin seemed to be silent for a few seconds, that moment seemingly filled with countless memories.

Suddenly, she handed the ultrasound report to Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi frowned.

“Take a look.” Qin Keqin said.

Song Zhizhi didn’t expect Miss Qin to be so straightforward.

Just gave it when she asked.

She took it and read the content.

Finally, she saw the last few words, “Early pregnancy, 10 weeks.”

“You’re really pregnant?” Song Zhizhi was so excited that she almost jumped up.

Qin Keqin nodded.

She also nearly jumped up when she got this report.

She never would have thought that Yin Bin’s beastly actions that night would have gotten her pregnant again!

Damn it!

Now she’s totally pissed off!

She seriously wants to rip Yin Bin apart!

Song Zhizhi seemed to feel Qin Keqin’s mood, and she laughed, “Isn’t this supposed to be good news?”

“What damn good news! Do you know how old I am this year?” Qin Keqin asked Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi made a quick calculation, “46 or 47, right?”

“I’m fucking old enough to be a grandmother.” Qin Keqin said angrily.

Pregnant at the age of being a grandmother!

Song Zhizhi guessed that if Yin Bin were there at that moment, Qin Keqin might strangle him.

“Isn’t it normal for a grandmother to become a mother again these days?” Song Zhizhi looked surprised at what was making Qin Keqin fuss.

“I don’t plan on keeping it.” Qin Keqin said bluntly.

“What?” Song Zhizhi got even more excited.

She wished to be pregnant but she can’t be!

“Apart from my age issue, Yin Bin and I don’t have a good relationship, we’ve been talking about divorce. I plan to file a one-sided lawsuit for divorce within this month. I fucking never thought I would get pregnant at this point!” Qin Keqin was really devastated and trying her best to hold it together, “I had always thought I hit menopause! Although it’s a bit hard for me to accept that my womanhood is over, it’s still better than having a kid in my belly!”

“I, who want to be pregnant can’t get pregnant, and you, who don’t want to be pregnant are pregnant…” Song Zhizhi sighed.

God must really have nothing to do!

Both of them felt kind of sorrowful, as if they were blaming the heavens and people.

They didn’t seem to know how to comfort each other.

A nurse came in and squatted down to Song Zhizhi, spoke very respectfully, “Mr. Ji said he is looking for you, could you please come over?”

“What’s wrong with him?” Song Zhizhi was speechless.

The nurse just smiled without saying a word

What good thing did Ji Baijian do?

She got up and said to Qin Keqin, “I’m going to check on Ji Baijian, he was reluctant to come for the checkup this time, I presume he might be having some health issues that he can’t accept.”

“Oh, you go ahead.” Qin Keqin nodded, not forgetting to remind her, “Be gentle, beware of Ji Baijian’s handsome face.”

Qin Keqin really liked Ji Baijian’s handsome face, didn’t she?!

As she left, she turned and said, “You shouldn’t make a decision lightly, if you don’t want Yin Bin to know, at least let Yin Qin know.”

“Hmm.” Qin Keqin replied.

Song Zhizhi left.

After she left, a nurse came in and called Qin Keqin to the doctor’s office.

Qin Keqin sat across from the doctor and handed him the examination report.

After the doctor read it, he laughed as if he knew this would be the result, “Miss Qin, you are indeed pregnant.”

“Can I not have it?” Qin Keqin asked seriously.

“Not keep it? This could be your last child. Considering this bond, don’t you think it’s a shame to give it up?” The doctor looked very surprised.

There have been plenty of cases of abortions in Yanshang Country, right?

Why does he look like she’s done something extremely cruel?!

“I have a grandson. Taking care of him is fine, but as for a son… I already have one driving me to my death, and another one may kill me!” Qin Keqin said impatiently.

“What if it’s a girl?” The doctor asked.

Qin Keqin’s face darkened.

Are all doctors so good at talking like this?

What exactly are they? Doctors or negotiation experts?!

The doctor obviously noticed Qin Keqin’s hesitation, “The older you get, the higher the chance of having a daughter, that’s based on experience.”

“Don’t try to persuade me,” said Qin Keqin seriously.

“I’m not persuading you, I’m just sharing some of my advice. The final decision to keep the baby still depends on Miss Qin.” The doctor said, “But before that, I still have to mention some risks, because Miss Qin is indeed beyond the best age for giving birth, and is considered an elder mother. Whether you choose to abort or decide to carry the child, both involve certain risks…”

The doctor meticulously analyzed the pros and cons of each option.

After the analysis, he said, “Miss Qin, please consider carefully before making a decision.”

Qin Keqin really doesn’t want it at all.

Especially a child of Yin Bin’s!

If it were another man’s child, she might consider it!

Just thinking about Yin Bin made her furious.

Was she destined to fall into this man’s hands in this lifetime?

Never mind when she was pregnant with Yin Qin’s child, she was willing then.

But this time, this time, she really couldn’t accept it!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

How could she have his seed again!

The doctor seemed to sense Qin Keqin’s rage.

He hurriedly tried to soothe her, “Miss Qin, calm down, getting agitated can affect the fetus.”

“Even better if it is affected! Saves me from going through this again!”

“A natural miscarriage also requires a uterine cleaning, which is particularly painful,” said the doctor with a very expressive look on his face.

Qin Keqin stared at the doctor.

The doctor nodded, “It’s true.”

Qin Keqin tried to stay calm.

“Do you want to notify your family?”

“No!” Qin Keqin rejected outright.

If Yin Qin knew, she didn’t even have to think about how much her son would laugh! What a horror it would be?!

As for Yin Bin, she never intended to let him know!

But to keep the child or not?!

Would it grow up like Yin Qin, without a father by its side?!

She thought about it, and aside from Yin Qin being a bit naive, he didn’t seem to grow up crooked!

Having another one would not be that bad either.

If she gave birth to it and raised it to adulthood, he would be around 70, so she should be able to live to that age if she took good care of herself, right?!

She imagined several scenarios in her mind.

She admitted it.

When it came to children, she was always indecisive.

Otherwise, even after giving birth to Yin Qin, she could have broken up with Yin Bin.

“Miss Qin?” The doctor called Qin Keqin as she seemed lost in her thoughts.

Qin Keqin came back to her senses.

She said, “Hmm, I’ll think about it. I’ll come to you once I’ve made up my mind.”

“Miss Qin, whatever your decision, you should come to the hospital as soon as possible. The bigger the child, the greater the risk if you don’t want it. If you do, you are an ultra-high-risk mother, you need to undergo more tests and take more precautions than average mothers. Anyway, you should come to the hospital as soon as possible.”

An ultra-high-risk mother!

Could she say she had truly been hit too hard?!

She got up and walked out of the doctor’s office.

She felt like she was falling apart.

Who knew she would get pregnant at this age this year! She never thought Yin Bin could get her pregnant again that night, because they were really not young anymore, so she didn’t even think about taking any measures.

She clenched her teeth!

She really wanted to chop Yin Bin into pieces and feed him to the dogs!

Just then, Yin Bin, who was sitting in his office, suddenly sneezed.

Was it getting cold all of a sudden? Why was there a sudden shiver?

He didn’t care, rubbed his nose and continued dealing with his work.

Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian emerged from the extraction room.

Song Zhizhi regretted leaving her hat, mask, and sunglasses in the doctor’s office.

She and Ji Baijian walked into the VIP waiting room, sitting on a comfortable sofa, enjoying the hospital’s VIP services.

Considering the test results Ji Baijian had obtained, it seemed that he was normal too.

Strength and activity levels were all that were needed now.

Song Zhizhi suddenly thought of Ye Taiting’s physical health.

Ye Taiting’s inability to conceive was due to a low survival rate, which led to him becoming Qian Guanshu’s son and usurping the position.

Would God really be so cruel?! Not allowing the Ye Family to continue their lineage.

Wait a minute.

Song Zhizhi jerked her mind back to the present.

After all, Ji Baijian wasn’t part of the Ye Family anymore, was he? His blood was that of the Ji Family. After a complete recreation and transformation, he wasn’t exactly a member of the Ye Family anymore, right?

If he was part of the Ji Family, there would be nothing to worry about.

Just look at Ji Yunlei, he had three kids, and there didn’t seem to be any issues with fertility!

She must be overthinking. She had to be overthinking.

Waiting for the results seemed even more nerve-wracking than the actual examination.

Clearly, Ji Baijian wasn’t feeling much better either.

Neither of them spoke; they were afraid their fears might be spoken into existence.

The wait lasted for almost half an hour.

They were then called into the doctor’s office by a nurse.

After comparing the results of both, the doctor finally said, “Congratulations, both of you are very healthy and show no problems.”

Phew.

The tension eased at once.

Song Zhizhi had been sweating profusely.

Ji Baijian wasn’t doing much better, actually.

He just hid it well.

He was so well-equipped that it was hard to tell whether or not he was laughing.

“If there’s no problem, why can’t we conceive?” Song Zhizhi asked, confused.

The doctor smiled and said, “I told you before, not being able to conceive within 2-3 months doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a problem. It typically takes more than a year to conceive naturally. From your results, it’s clear that you guys have no problem conceiving. It’s more about the method and emotional state.”

“It’s not … isn’t it said that diligence pays off?” Song Zhizhi asked.

The moment she asked, Ji Baijian’s body tensed slightly.

He actually looked quite awkward.

The doctor laughed heartily, “Of course not, consistent consumption isn’t good for your health, and it doesn’t make the quality any better. In fact, the abundant energy of young people sometimes doesn’t work in their favor when it comes to conception. The best time to conceive is during ovulation and it shouldn’t be too frequent. The ovulation period usually lasts about a week during which you should have intercourse 3-4 times, roughly once every other day. As for when your ovulation period is, you can test with ovulation strips, or come to the hospital for ultrasonic imaging. We can certainly arrange whatever suits you best.”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

As she did so, she couldn’t help but glance at Ji Baijian beside her.

His face was covered with sunglasses and a mask, making it impossible to see his expression.

The doctor continued, “There’s no need to rush. You’re both in the ideal age bracket for pregnancy, early 20s is the best time to have children. You should receive good news soon. In fact, a 46-year-old woman managed to conceive naturally today. She succeeded on her first try. Sometimes, it’s all about the right timing and a little luck.”

Someone felt like vomiting blood.

Just one try, and she hit the jackpot!

Song Zhizhi knew that the doctor was talking about Qin Keqin.

How did Qin Keqin finally decide?!

She was slightly curious, “Did that lady decide to keep the baby?”

“She seemed hesitant, but usually those who consider their options end up keeping the baby. So when a baby comes along, we usually advise to accept it as fate.”

Song Zhizhi felt that Qin Keqin, with her personality, might choose to have the baby without telling Yin Bin.

Let’s get back on track, said the doctor, “So don’t worry too much about your situation. Relax … speaking of which, one’s emotional state is very much related to conception. Overzealousness might make conceiving even more difficult. Relax, go out on a vacation, maintain a calm mind. Who knows, the baby might come when you least expect.”

“Thank you, doctor,” said Song Zhizhi gratefully.

“You’re welcome. Feel free to come see me if you have any questions. Here’s my number, you can call anytime.”

“Sure.”

Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian left the doctor’s office.

The doctor saw them out the door.

A VIP patient gets VIP treatment.

The doctor reminded them at the door, “Remember what I said, it’s about method and quality, and being relaxed.”

Song Zhizhi glanced at Ji Baijian.

“Let’s see your ‘diligence pays off’ now!”
