Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 535: Chapter 535: He doesn’t want to miss out on even the slightest hope.

Thinking about this, he sighed inwardly. His mother’s actions had turned his wife’s daily return home into an ordeal. He constantly worried his mother had found another folk remedy and would force his wife to drink it, regardless of her feelings.

They had tried all sorts of folk remedies, but her belly remained still.

His mother’s expression grew darker by the day, and his wife was under considerable pressure. Sometimes she couldn’t sleep all night and, despite her youth, began to lose her hair. It pained him to see, yet he could do nothing.

Just a few days ago, his mother issued an ultimatum: if she didn’t get pregnant, they would have to divorce. After all, the Guo Family had only him as a son and couldn’t be without descendants.

Because of this, his wife had cried for days. He truly felt her pain. On one side was his own mother, and on the other, his wife. In the middle, his father constantly lectured him on the importance of carrying on the family lineage: ”Qiming, our family line can’t end with your generation! How could I face our ancestors then? If this continues, I’m afraid that before my wife and daughter-in-law go mad, I’ll be the one to lose my mind first.”

For him, even the slightest glimmer of hope was something he couldn’t afford to let go.

After checking his other pulse, Yunyi said, ”Indeed, your body does have some issues. But don’t worry. I’ll write you a prescription. Go get the medicine, take it for five days, and then come back to me so I can adjust it.”

Hearing this, Guo Qiming’s eyes reddened. ”My wife has taken the blame for so long. I’m truly...”

With that, he covered his face.

Seeing him like this, Yunyi said bluntly, ”Alright, you’re letting your imagination run wild. You do have some health issues, but they aren’t the primary reason you two haven’t been able to conceive.”

Guo Qiming stared dumbfounded at Yunyi. ”Sister-in-law, are you serious?”

Yunyi knew what he was thinking. ”Yes, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”

Guo Qiming, his eyes rimmed with red, said, ”You don’t understand. In recent years, my wife smiles less and less. Sometimes, the way she stares at pregnant women with such envy, it breaks my heart. If the problem really is with me, wouldn’t all the grievances my wife has suffered these past few years have been in vain? Just thinking about it is unbearable.”

This Guo Qiming, who appeared so carefree and uninhibited, actually possessed such delicate thoughts; indeed, one can’t judge a book by its cover.

At this moment, the driver spoke up, ”Cousin, Cousin-in-law has always had issues with a ’cold uterus.’ Even if you have a problem, she wasn’t entirely taking the blame for you. Don’t dwell on it so much. When you have time, the most important thing is to quickly take Cousin-in-law to see a doctor.”

Guo Qiming rubbed his brow. ”You’re right.”

He turned to Yunyi and said, ”Sister-in-law, once I finish up my work in the next few days, I’ll bring her to see you.”

Yunyi nodded. ”No problem. Just bring her directly to the Hua’an Farm Reclamation Clinic to find me.”

When they arrived at the machinery factory, Huo Jingrui wanted to treat them to a meal at the state-owned restaurant near the factory entrance, but Guo Qiming refused outright. He was now solely focused on returning home to share the good news with his wife and had no mind for food.

This was rather unfortunate for his cousin, Yu Donglai, who had accompanied him. However, Yu Donglai could understand his cousin’s current state of mind and naturally wouldn’t try to slow him down.

While they were talking, Yunyi quickly went to the state-owned restaurant and returned with ten large meat buns and a portion of braised meat. ”Take these with you for the road.”

The two men didn’t stand on ceremony with Yunyi. They accepted the food, got into the car, and prepared for their return journey.

Huo Jingrui advised them, ”It’s getting dark. Drive slowly on your way, and give me a call when you get back.”

After they acknowledged, the car vanished into the night.

Huo Jingrui withdrew his gaze and looked at Yunyi. ”Come on, I’ll take you to eat first.”

Yunyi glanced at the luggage on the ground. ”Let’s take the luggage back before we eat. It’s a hassle to carry it around.”

Huo Jingrui looked at the luggage. ”Alright, we’ll listen to Yi’er.”
