After dinner, Shu Nian and Ye Yan returned home.
She was still concerned about Ming Wanjun's condition, but it would take time to check all the medical records. There was no news from Tang Jifeng yet, so she could only wait patiently.
Ye Yan was working in the study, and Shu Nian was accompanying her. He was sitting on the sofa with his computer, reading some medical materials. He came across information about test-tube babies. On the screen, there were pictures of babies, each one so cute. Shu Nian was a little distracted.
When Ye Yan closed the file, he saw her staring blankly at the computer with a complicated expression. He pondered for a moment and called her, "Niannian."
"Yeah." Shu Nian finally came back to her senses. She quickly closed the webpage for fear of being discovered by him. Ye Yan waved at her, and she put down the computer and walked towards him. Ye Yan reached out and hugged her, letting her open her legs and sit face to face with him. He held her chin with one hand, lifted her depressed little face up, and met his eyes, "What were you looking at just now?"
"nothing."
Ye Yan's eyes deepened, and he looked at her straight, as if he wanted to see through all her thoughts. Shu Nian knew that he couldn't hide it, so he bit his lip and told the truth carefully, "I'm looking into the matter of test-tube babies."
"no."
When Ye Yan heard the words "IVF", he refused without hesitation. His face was a little cold, and his tone was even more unquestionable.
Shu Nian hugged him, "Why not? Ye Yan, let's give it a try, okay? Even if you don't care, you should consider your parents. They will care."
"It's not that we can't have a baby, it's that I'm not trying hard enough." Ye Yan held Shu Nian's hips and picked her up. "In the future, I will work hard and I will get pregnant one day. However, the doctor also said that this kind of thing can't be rushed. At least you should calm down."
Ye Yan carried her into the bedroom.
Although he said that he didn't work hard enough, Shu Nian knew that he was just comforting himself.
"If you don't agree to IVF, you should at least give me a reason." Shu Nian looked at him stubbornly, "Do you have a prejudice against IVF? However, medicine is so advanced now, there is no difference between IVF children and normal children."
"Ye Yan, will you promise me? Okay?"
"If you find it troublesome and don't want to go to the hospital, I can ask the doctor from the hospital to come over here and examine you."
"Besides, you only need to take it once. From now on, it's all my business and has nothing to do with you."
Shu Nian kept talking, trying to convince him. However, Ye Yan showed no signs of being convinced, and her face became more and more tense. After entering the room, she was pressed down on the bed by Ye Yan. He looked down at her with deep eyes, and his face was more serious than ever before. "Shu Nian, you are a doctor, you know better than me how painful it is to do a bone marrow puncture to retrieve eggs!"
turn out to be…
He didn't agree because he didn't want her to feel pain...
Realizing this, Shu Nian felt a warm current and deep affection in her heart. But because of this, she wanted to have a child with him even more...
"Ye Yan, I don't care."
But he cares!
Care a lot!
"You are well aware of the survival rate of IVF. Once miscarriage occurs, it will hurt not only your body but also your heart. I will not agree to you taking such a risk."
Shu Nian's eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist. "No matter what I have to go through, as long as you are by my side, I am not afraid. And... as long as I can bear a child for you, I can endure any pain."
"I can't!" Ye Yan's tone was also firm. He looked at Shu Nian with a trace of pain in his eyes. He spoke again with a hoarse voice, "Niannian, I have made you suffer so much once. If I inflict pain on you again because of giving birth, I am not worthy of being your husband. So, don't mention this matter again in the future. I will never agree to it!"
Shu Nian's nose felt hot and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
She half-crouched and hugged Ye Yan tightly. Ye Yan felt pain and depression in his heart, and kissed away the tears from her eyes, "If you really like children, let's adopt one, okay? Hmm? You can have a boy or a girl, or a boy and a girl, I have no objection."
Shu Nian shook his head and buried his face deeply in his shoulder, "I don't blame you for what happened in the past..."
"... I know." However, he could not forgive himself. He picked her up, and the two of them leaned against the head of the bed. He held the back of her head with his big hand and repeated, "I know..."
"The adopted child doesn't have our blood flowing in his veins." Shu Nian's voice was still choking. "Ye Yan, promise me, okay? Even if it's just to fulfill my wish... I just want a child that truly belongs to the two of us. I can promise you, just once. If it doesn't work out once, I will never do it again. Okay?"
A child is the fruit of deep love. What she wants is the bond that cannot be broken. With a child, two people will be transformed from lovers to relatives, and become part of each other's blood...
That meaning is completely different.
Ye Yan couldn't bear to nod and say yes, but he also couldn't bear to reject her. He held her face and kissed her lips deeply, "I can promise you, but, Nian Nian, you have to promise me too... We don't have to be too anxious, give each other some more time. We are still young, there are plenty of opportunities."
Shu Nian knew that this was Ye Yan's last concession. She nodded, put her arms around his neck, and kissed her back.
——
There is a charming and warm atmosphere in the bedroom.
For a long time, the breathing sounds of the man and woman could still be heard. Ye Yan picked up Shu Nian, took a shower, and then put him back on the bed. After working all day and performing two operations today, she was highly focused and obviously tired. After the baptism of sex just now, she was a little sleepy when she touched the bed.
Ye Yan covered her with the quilt and kissed her exposed shoulder. At this moment, the phone on the bedside suddenly vibrated. The words "Ji Feng" flashed on the screen.
Ye Yan answered the phone for fear of disturbing Shu Nian, but he didn't put the phone to his ear until he walked outside to the terrace.
"How about it?"
"I found out. He has some heart problems. He has been in the hospital for more than a month."
"is it serious?"
"You know, I'm just an amateur. How can I understand those things? I've sent them to you via email. Go and take a look yourself."
"Okay." Ye Yan nodded.
Tang Jifeng seemed to have something to say, but before he opened his mouth, he hesitated.
"Just say whatever you want to say. I never thought you liked to hesitate before." Ye Yan naturally understood him. Tang Jifeng asked directly, "If you get married, will Ye Lan come back?"
"You didn't ask her yourself?"
Tang Jifeng was silent for a moment, then said angrily: "You also know that we haven't been in touch for a long time."
