Chapter 742: If There Were No Children

Although the topic ended there and no one else brought it up afterward, Bao Jingzhou fell into anxiety about having children. He would often stare at Shen Wanci's stomach in a daze.

After some time, Shen Wanci also realized something: "You really want a child?"

Bo Jinyu nodded, then immediately shook his head.

What he cared about wasn't whether or not they had children, but whether or not he had problems. It was probably because of the inherent weakness in men, coupled with what happened before, that he was particularly sensitive to the word "incapable." He was even more afraid that Wanwan would dislike him because of this.

After two months of anxiety, Bo Jingzhou finally secretly made an appointment with a urologist and went to the hospital for a check-up wearing a baseball cap and a mask.

After collecting the sample, he took it to the lab.

The doctor, without looking up, said, "Put the sample on the table and come back at three o'clock for the report."

After Bo Jingzhou left, a sneaky figure crept out from the corner. He stood by the window, looking around left and right. Seizing the opportunity when the doctor wasn't paying attention, he quickly poured Bo Jingzhou's sample into a container with his own information tag on it. Then, he took the empty container to the restroom.

He was brought in for a check-up today by his wealthy wife. They've been married for six years, but she hasn't gotten pregnant yet. The Yue family has issued an ultimatum: if she doesn't get pregnant within a year, they will divorce.

He had a hunch that the problem was with him. In order to continue living off his wife, he'd been hanging around here all morning. Finally, he spotted someone who looked strong and healthy. But he wasn't stupid either. What if that guy was all bark and no bite? So, he decided to wait by the report machine like a rabbit in a snare. If the man had a problem, he'd tell his wife the truth. If both of them were fine, then it must be fate.

He had already bribed the security guards over there, so he wouldn't be detected.

……

As soon as Bo Jingzhou got into the car, Shen Wanci's phone call came. Probably because he was feeling guilty, he rarely answered the phone immediately this time. Instead, he stared at the name flashing on the screen for a long while, until he was sure nothing was wrong before picking up: "Wanwan."

Shen Wanci: "What are you doing?"

“I was…” Bo Jingzhou subconsciously scanned the large characters on top of the hospital building. He could have said countless things, but when he actually opened his mouth, his mind went blank. After a few seconds, he mumbled, “Outside. What’s wrong?”

Then are you coming back at noon? I want to have lunch with you, I'm almost at your company.

"Okay," Bo Jingzhou originally planned to wait at the hospital for the results, but hearing that Shen Wanci wanted to come have dinner with him, he immediately changed his mind: "But I'm a bit far from the company. You can go to the office and wait for me first. If there's no traffic, I should be back in half an hour."

"Take it slow, no rush. I didn't eat until after 10 o'clock and I'm not hungry yet."

Although Shen Wanci told him not to worry, Bo Jingzhou still drove the car at high speed all the way back to the company within half an hour.

Shen Wanci looked at the man who rushed out of the elevator and casually asked, "Where are you going?"

"I had something to take care of."

Shen Wanci looked at him suspiciously. This evasive answer, it's clear he was hiding something, and the fact that he wasn't accompanied by an assistant meant this wasn't a business meeting. “Are you keeping something from me?”

Bo Jingzhou's face showed a trace of embarrassment, a little hard to say. He took her into the office, lowering his voice and asking, "Can we talk about it later?"

Shen Wanci looked at him, her eyes clearly showing two words: impossible.

After much deliberation, the man finally confessed his plan to secretly visit a hospital for a check-up, declaring resolutely: "Mom has been losing her appetite and sleep over this matter of signing documents. My going for a check-up is to reassure her."

Shen Wanci gave him a look that was hard to describe: "…".

"Don't worry, Wanwan, I'll be fine." Afraid she might find him childish for it, Bo Jingzhou almost extended three fingers to swear right then and there.

"So, is it me that has the problem?"

"No," Bo Jingzhou panicked immediately, grabbing her and explaining in a rather flustered manner, "It's not you, it's me. No, we're both fine..."

"Puchi," Shen Wanci was amused by his flustered appearance, but soon she became serious again: "What if the person with a problem is really me?"

They had been trying to conceive for several months now, but hadn't gotten pregnant. She hadn't thought much about it before, but since the topic came up, she figured she might as well talk about it.

Bo Jingzhou blurted out, "If you want a child, we can adopt one. If you don't want one, we'll just live our lives as two people for the rest of our days."

This thought had been swirling in his mind countless times recently, so he didn't even need to think about it. His family didn't have a throne to inherit, nor was there any pressing need to have children to carry on the lineage. To him, as long as Wanwan was by his side, whether or not they had children didn't matter at all.

"If you want to have a baby yourself, with medicine so advanced now, there must be many ways. And Mom said you're so good, it definitely won't be a problem. If you really can't get pregnant, then the problem must be with me."

Shen Wanci raised her lips, her brows and eyes relaxed, her spirits soaring: "Well, let's go eat. After dinner, I'll accompany you to get the report."

"Maybe I'll just go get it myself, in case..."

She gave him a cold glance and flatly refused: "No."

He could even be forced to go to a urology check-up for a piece of paper. Before that, he must have struggled for so long and made countless psychological preparations. No wonder he has been tossing and turning more in his sleep lately. What if the results are not satisfactory? This man might just be sitting on the stairs crying.

Bo Jingzhou: "..."

The report was to be picked up at 3 pm. After lunch, I drove to the hospital. Luckily, there was no line at the self-service printing machine for reports. There was only one person standing next to it, fully armed with a hat and mask, brushing their phone. I guessed they were waiting for the results.

Bo Jingzhou took out a two-dimensional code and scanned it on the machine. With a 'beep' sound, the screen displayed the results.

He stretched out his hand, hesitated mid-air and said softly, "Wan Wan, maybe..."

Shen Wanci ignored him and directly clicked 'Print' for him.

As the printer whirred and spat out a sheet of data-laden A4 paper, Bo Zhou just picked it up when the person next to him, who had been engrossed in their phone moments before, leaned over and peered at his examination slip.

Bao Jingzhou frowned, pressing the paper down with a discontented tone. "What are you doing?"

That man chuckled and said, “Brother, what are the results?”

To get closer, he also offered a cigarette to Bo Jingzhou.

Bo Jingzhou didn't take the cigarette from his hand, a hint of wariness in his expression: "Does this have anything to do with you?"
