Chapter 32

Shen Jingyao:...

He wouldn't either.

Under his younger sister's expectant gaze, Shen Jingyao cleared his throat and had no choice but to speak, "Is it alright? If not, you can take a few days off, paid leave."

Shen Luoluo:!!!

That's a really consoling way to put people, but then again, it's not entirely wrong. Paid leave—working people should like that, right?

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, I'm fine," the assistant wiped away her tears, glanced at the time, and immediately switched back to work mode. "Mr. Shen, we still have half an hour for lunch."

Shen Luoluo silently gave a thumbs up, [No wonder she's qualified to be a president's assistant!]

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Zhao Yuan returned to the Song Lake Resort Villa, but this time she had a man with her. Nothing ventured, nothing gained; this time she was fully prepared before returning!

After checking into their hotel room and putting away their luggage, the two headed straight to the clinic.

Upon arriving at the clinic, Zhao Yuan immediately pulled out her marriage certificate and placed it on the front desk, stating, "We're here to treat infertility." She also specifically requested that Doctor Zhang be in charge.

Whether it was her imagination or not, when she was taken to the office and saw her old classmate again, the old classmate looked at her with murderous intent.

Zhao Yuan and her colleague filled out a bunch of forms in the office. Most of them were personal information and nothing special. One of the more unusual questions was which one of the "couple" was infertile.

There are three options: one for the man, one for the woman, and another option if you're unsure, you can get a checkup.

What's really strange is that if the woman is infertile, she needs to be treated in this place for at least ten months, while if the man is infertile, it's much simpler; he only needs to be treated for a week.

They were posing as a married couple, so naturally they wouldn't undergo the examination. As agreed, they both filled in the male's name and were then told that they had to stay at the clinic for at least a week before they could go home.

As described in the documents, the next step was check-in. All the mobile phones, computers, and other communication devices that the two of them brought were confiscated. In short, apart from clothes and daily necessities, nothing else was allowed inside.

Finally, the two were led to a small, very basic room. It was a large single room with a bed, a desk, two stools, and nothing else.

Then, led by the Nurse, we went to the cafeteria for lunch. Each couple had their own private room, and we were not allowed to have any contact with other people.

After the meal, the two were taken to a hot spring pool, where a Nurse told them that soaking in this medicinal bath could treat infertility.

After bringing Zhao Yuan and the other person to the door, she closed the door and left.

Knowing that this place was eerie and fraught with danger, Zhao Yuan and her companions didn't eat anything, let alone the medicinal bath. They pretended to take a few bites, then spat it out under the pretext that it tasted bad.

After the herbal bath, they were taken back to their rooms and each was given an iPad with no internet access, which could only be used to watch dramas and play single-player games.

They were so afraid they would spread the secrets that they wouldn't even give them internet access.

Fortunately, there were still dramas to watch. Zhao Yuan and her companions picked one to watch to pass the time. Just before going to bed, a Nurse brought them some medicine that had been prepared.

They say that if you drink this medicine for seven consecutive days, you can get pregnant.

It was time for her to show off her acting skills again. Zhao Yuan pretended that the drink was too bitter to drink, and the two of them drank and vomited, spilling quite a bit.

The young Nurse seemed used to this kind of scene and didn't suspect anything. She supervised the two of them to finish their drinks, then left with a Yingying.

Just as the two relaxed, they smelled a strange scent, somewhat like the Zen fragrance of incense burned in temples.

Zhao Yuan had a bad feeling, but luckily they were prepared and took out gas masks from a hidden compartment in their suitcases. No wonder the Nurse didn't care whether they drank the medicine or not; this was the key!

Then they heard knocking on the door and people calling their names, as if checking if they were asleep.

Zhao Yuan and her partner exchanged a glance. The two often worked together on missions and had long since developed a tacit understanding. They knew what the other was thinking without even saying a word. They simultaneously pulled up the blanket to cover their bodies.

Not long after, the sound of a key unlocking the door could be heard.

The footsteps grew closer, and Zhao Yuan's palms sweated with nervousness. Fortunately, the footsteps were faint, and it was just one person. There were two of them on their side, so they could handle it.

The footsteps suddenly quickened, and the person reached their bedside in a few steps and yanked off the covers.

"Zhao Yuan."

Both of them were ready to fight back when they heard a familiar voice. They quickly stopped and saw who it was. Sure enough, it was her old classmate, now Doctor Zhang.

My old classmate, his face grim and suppressing his anger, said, "Are you out of your mind? You dare come back here!"

Chapter 32

◎The son and his father's wife were pulling and tugging at each other◎

Zhao Yuan's old classmate's actual surname wasn't Zhang, nor was his name Zhang Heng. His name was Xie Siheng, the youngest son of the Xie Family, and he was her classmate in the first year of high school.

However, they were only in the same class for one year. Xie Siheng had excellent grades and was always at the top of his class. Zhao Yuan didn't like studying in high school. Later, when they were divided into classes in the second year of high school, Xie Siheng went to the Rocket Class without any doubt, while Zhao Yuan went to the International Class.

After being separated into different classes, the two had even fewer opportunities to meet. Most of the news about him came from the school's honor roll or from other classmates.

Such comments included things like, "Xie Siheng got first place again in this exam," "He even got a perfect score in Mathematics," and "He's going to participate in a competition again."

Later, after graduating from high school, Zhao Yuan went abroad to study journalism, and after that, we heard even less about Xie Siheng.

Looking at the person in front of her who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, Zhao Yuan, for some inexplicable reason, blurted out, "Because you're here."

But it can't be said that she was talking nonsense. It was precisely because he was there and she knew he was a good person that she specifically chose him as their attending Doctor for 'infertility'.

Zhao Yuan continued, "Don't worry, we reporters have professional ethics, which is..."
