CHAPTER 111: CHAPTER 111: LOSS OF FERTILITY

Ningwan casually lied and told Zhan Hanjue. She not only ruined her appearance in that car accident but also lost the ability to have children.

"I’m sorry, I hid this from you, and now I’m telling you. If you’re angry, be angry! If you want to divorce me, I have nothing to say. Of course, if you want to have children with someone else, I’m okay with it."

As long as it’s not her giving birth, he can have kids with whoever he wants.

Don’t all wealthy families have illegitimate children?

She doesn’t mind if he has a few to make Old Mrs. Zhan happy.

"I never thought you couldn’t have children." Zhan Hanjue looked at her in shock, muttering to himself.

Ningwan nodded painfully, apologizing again: "I’m sorry."

"No need to say sorry, it’s not your fault." Zhan Hanjue tenderly caressed her face: "It’s my fault, I thought you didn’t want to get pregnant and took contraceptives yourself. I didn’t expect... I was careless."

"I know Grandma is getting old and wants to have great-grandchildren soon. I can’t be relied upon, otherwise, you can find someone else." Ningwan suggested virtuously.

Zhan Hanjue immediately pulled her into his arms: "Ningning, rest assured, even if you cannot have children, I won’t abandon you. You’re a Chinese medicine doctor; you’re not very familiar with modern medical technology. Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there’s any chance of remedy. If we truly can’t have children, we can still extract your eggs for surrogacy."

Ningwan: "..."

"No need, I’m a Divine Doctor myself, and I know my condition very well."

"Doctors can’t treat themselves, that’s what you said. Without a check-up, how can you know the specifics?" Zhan Hanjue insisted.

After saying this, he loosened his grip, ready to take her to the hospital.

"Really, no need, what’s the point of going to the hospital. You want me to be like a test subject, manipulated on the operating table at will by doctors? I refuse to be such a humiliated person." Ningwan refused firmly.

What a joke.

Going to the hospital would reveal she isn’t sick at all, just lying.

"Alright, since you won’t go to the hospital, I won’t force you." Zhan Hanjue finally relented.

Ningwan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"But Grandma also wants to have a great-grandchild, and I can’t let her wait forever. So..."

"I can understand; you can find someone else to have a child, and I won’t mind." Ningwan immediately said.

Zhan Hanjue touched her face emotionally: "Ningning, thank you for being so virtuous. Rest assured, even if I have children with someone else, that child will call you mom, and you will always be my only wife."

Ningwan sneered inside, having children with someone else, yet saying such cheesy words to her, doesn’t he feel embarrassed?

"If you want to give the child’s mother a legitimate status, I won’t mind stepping down." Ningwan became even more virtuous.

Zhan Hanjue said: "No need, even if I have children, they will have to be related to you by blood. I’ve already thought of the candidate, and rest assured, she won’t threaten your position."

"You’re thinking of choosing someone from the Ye Family?" Ningwan’s eyes widened.

Related by blood would be those few in the Ye Family.

Is he choosing Ye Xuan or Ye Ya?

"Rest assured, it’s not Ye Xuan or Ye Ya. I know you don’t get along with them, how could I choose them to threaten your position?" Zhan Hanjue dismissed her guess.

"Ye Wen is already married; you don’t intend to be a third party, do you?"

Moreover, Ye Wen is several years older than him, nearing forty.

A late pregnancy would also make it hard to have children.

"How could I do such a thing," Zhan Hanjue denied, speaking gently again: "Of course, I’ll find someone who gets along best with you and will never threaten your position. After thinking it through, only Ye Shao is most suitable."

Ningwan: "..."

"Ye Shao is my brother; he’s a man, and can’t have children."

Zhan Hanjue must be crazy.

"You’re a woman, and not necessarily able to have children. He’s a man, maybe he can. Ningning, as I’ve said, with modern medicine today, with some effort, it’s not impossible." Zhan Hanjue continued gently, but his eyes grew colder.

Ningwan wasn’t foolish.

Zhan Hanjue didn’t believe her words; he hadn’t believed from the start.

So, he deliberately suggested getting Ye Shao to have a child for him, just to anger her.

"Okay, I won’t lie to you anymore. I’m not sick, and I can have children, but I just don’t want to right now." Ningwan spoke the truth.

Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly, his face darkened, his voice chilling as he said: "I knew it, you were deliberately lying to me. Ye Ningwan, is it that you truly don’t want to have children, or you don’t want to have them with me?"

"What’s the difference? Anyway, I don’t want to have children." Ningwan said.

Zhan Hanjue clenched his fists.

Of course, there is a difference.

Because of a lack of love, she didn’t even want to have children.

Just like that year, a woman complained to him: "It’s all because of you, if it weren’t for you, I would have left long ago."

He was very young at the time.

But her words seeped into his heart like poison, leaving him living in fear daily.

AfrIad that one day he would wake up and she would be gone.

In the end, she left anyway.

Even having children couldn’t keep her.

But Ningwan, she didn’t even want to have children.

Does that mean that when she decides to leave, she’ll do it more decisively?

Not even willing to delay.

"Zhan Hanjue, try to understand me. I don’t even understand my life yet; how can I have children? Do you know what it costs to bring a child into the world? You must be responsible for their entire life; having children without being prepared is irresponsible to them." Ningwan looked at the anger in his eyes, patiently explaining.

But Zhan Hanjue didn’t believe her words at all and left in anger.

She’s just a little liar, spouting lies naturally, utterly indifferent to him.

"He left?"

Wu Taotao peeked out from behind the door, asking in surprise.

Ningwan nodded.

When Zhan Hanjue left, he slammed the door with a "bang," almost knocking it off its hinges.

It seems he was truly angry.

But was she wrong?

She simply doesn’t want to have children right now.

"Ningning, don’t you love Zhan Hanjue?"

Wu Taotao leaned over to ask.

Ningwan blinked: "Why do you think that?"

Wu Taotao said: "If a woman loves a man, she’s willing to give him her life, let alone have children. But you’re not willing to give your life or even have children. So, do you not love him?"

Ningwan felt momentarily lost.

She didn’t know if she loved Zhan Hanjue, marrying him with a certain purpose due to a twist of fate.

Now, the two of them are considered a real couple.

But if one day he doesn’t want her or asks her to sacrifice her life for him.

She thought, she would leave without hesitation.
