The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

"The collaboration has ended, but shouldn't we have regular check-ups, Dr. Gu?" He walked to the single sofa opposite Gu Jingxiao, sat down, crossed his long legs, and asked slowly and deliberately.

Gu Jingxiao chuckled, took off his glasses, and gently wiped the lenses with a silk scarf. "Of course, but Mr. Xie came here today, I'm afraid it's not just for a simple 'follow-up examination,' is it?"

"I just want to confirm whether my 'recovery' progress seems normal to you?" Xie Linyu clearly wanted to 'recover', but was afraid that recovering 'too quickly' would arouse suspicion.

Gu Jingxiao put his glasses back on, his gaze behind the lenses filled with mockery: "From a medical point of view, your recovery is already a 'miracle,' so what does it matter how fast or slow it is? What's fake can never become real."

"Mr. Xie, instead of worrying about how to fabricate the truth, you should think about how you would handle it if Miss Lu Yao discovered the truth. As far as I know, Miss Lu Yao wants to have a second match with you."

"Why bother with such high-sounding words? Don't forget, you're an accomplice too, Dr. Gu." Xie Linyu wasn't buying Gu Jingxiao's act.

But he did take what the other person said to heart.

Just then, Lu Yao pushed the door open and came in: "What are you talking about?"

Although both of them had smiles on their faces, Lu Yao still sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

She walked over with a smile, her gaze lingering on the two people's faces.

Gu Jingxiao was the first to break the silence: "I just examined Mr. Xie, and his condition has improved significantly. He should be able to return to normal soon."

"Really?" Lu Yao asked, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

"Yes, that's what Dr. Gu said." Xie Linyu met Lu Yao's delighted gaze, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly as he tried to make his tone sound natural.

Gu Jingxiao added at the opportune moment: "However, consolidation during the recovery period is also very important. Don't stop the previous 'training'; keep it up."

Lu Yao understood what he meant, and nodded with a blush: "I understand, Dr. Gu."

After saying that, she looked at Xie Linyu and took his hand, saying, "Don't worry, things will definitely get better."

"Yes, I know." Xie Linyu squeezed her hand back, smiling gently.

Gu Jingxiao's gaze swept over their clasped hands: "That's all for today. I will notify you once Miss Lu Yao's report is ready. If you feel unwell, you can contact me anytime. Pregnancy is quite tough, so please make sure you get plenty of rest."

"I understand, thank you Dr. Gu. We won't bother you any longer."

After leaving Gu Jingxiao's medical center, the two planned to go to the Bureau of Reproduction for a second registration and matching.

After getting into the car, Lu Yao checked the documents in her bag again. After confirming that there were no problems, she looked up and saw Xie Linyu with his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought and not quite in the right state of mind.

This made her a little worried: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

When Xie Linyu met Lu Yao's clear, concerned eyes, his chest tightened.

Despite being unwilling to admit it, Gu Jingxiao was right: can a relationship that starts with deception really last?

When the truth finally comes out, how will he face Lu Yao and beg for her forgiveness?

Will she regret all the decisions she made today?

"Is something wrong?" Sensing that Xie Linyu was not in a good mood, Lu Yao spoke cautiously again.

"Yaoyao," Xie Linyu pursed his lips, his voice dry, "There's something I've been keeping from you, and now I feel we can't go on like this anymore."

Sensing the tension in his tone, Lu Yao's heart involuntarily tightened: "Is it that important?"

Xie Linyu nodded: "It's very important. I have no objection to whatever you think after hearing it, but I have only one request..."

"Don't be angry, it's not worth ruining my health."

Lu Yao sensed something was increasingly off about Xie Linyu's words, and she couldn't help but feel nervous: "What are you hiding from me?"

Xie Linyu looked at her with a guilty expression and fell silent, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Yao said, "If it's hard to say, let's wait until we apply for a match. Shall we go to the Reproduction Bureau first?"

She thought Xie Linyu might need some time, but Xie Linyu shook his head after hearing her words: "We can't go to the Bureau of Reproduction. I have to make this clear to you beforehand. If you are still willing to accept me after you know this, then we can go."

Lu Yao frowned. From Xie Linyu's words, she could sense the seriousness of the problem.

She knew how much Xie Linyu wanted to be her match.

She had only said one sentence back then, and Xie Linyu was overjoyed. Now, he had actually taken the initiative to refuse.

So: "What exactly are you hiding?"

Xie Linyu took a deep breath, as if he had finally made up his mind.

"Yaoyao, there's actually nothing wrong with my body. The doctor said there's an 80% chance I'll become impotent, but I'm not actually in that category. I've been hiding this from you, just to have a chance to be by your side."

At this point, Xie Linyu's eyes reddened. "In fact, I succeeded. You accepted me. But while I'm happy about the result, I also feel guilty. I took advantage of your kindness. I'm sorry, I lied to you. So even if you regret it and don't want to continue being with me, I can accept it. I just hope you won't be angry and will take good care of yourself."

As Xie Linyu's voice faded, the air inside the carriage seemed to freeze.

Lu Yao's expression went blank for a moment. She blinked, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly, as if confirming that she had heard something.

"So you've never had erectile dysfunction from the beginning, and you're perfectly healthy?" Lu Yao asked, as if to confirm.

Xie Linyu nodded: "Yes, there have been no problems from the beginning."

"What's going on with Gu Jingxiao? He's not an expert in this field, how could he..." Lu Yao frowned, her tone full of doubt.

If Xie Linyu really has no problems, wouldn't Gu Jingxiao, as an expert, be able to detect it?

"He took my money," he had already admitted it, so there was no need for him to keep Gu Jingxiao's secret. Besides, he himself hadn't reached a clear conclusion with Lu Yao yet, and he wouldn't give a potential rival a chance. He was going to betray Gu Jingxiao. "He promised to cooperate with me, so that's why he said that to you."

Lu Yao suddenly laughed in exasperation: "You two, really, well done!"

Upon receiving such praise, Xie Linyu pursed his lips: "Yaoyao, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. You can punish me however you want, I will never complain, but please don't hurt yourself."

"Of course I wouldn't joke about my own body, but Xie Linyu!" Lu Yao took a deep breath, "You hid it so well. If you hadn't told me, you might have kept it from me forever. Why did you suddenly have a change of heart and tell me the truth?"
