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

Gu Jingxiao's gold-rimmed glasses reflected a faint light under the overhead light in the consultation room. The curve of his lips remained unchanged, but his eyes sharpened slightly through the lenses.

Xie Linyu sat opposite him, his posture somewhat relaxed, showing no sign of panic at all because of his words.

"I will bear the consequences myself," Xie Linyu said in a low voice. "I just need you to provide me with a 'diagnosis certificate' proving that I will be unable to function normally for a long time to come due to this drug-induced injury, and that I will need long-term treatment and observation. I also need you to arrange some rehabilitation therapy for me. As for the visual stimulation you just mentioned, I think that would be fine."

Gu Jingxiao did not answer immediately, but leaned back slightly in his comfortable chair, his gaze sweeping over Xie Linyu's face.

"May I ask why, Mr. Xie?" His tone carried a hint of curiosity. "If it's just to refuse the matchmaking for a walking marriage, I don't think you need to go to such lengths. The penalty for breach of contract shouldn't be much to you."

He paused, then added with a smile, "Especially in your professional field, if this kind of thing gets out, the damage to your career and public image could be devastating, Mr. Xie. Have you thought this through?"

Xie Linyu naturally understood what he meant by those words. He was simply implying that if his "impotence" statement were spread, he would become the subject of public gossip.

"I am well aware of all this, thank you for reminding me, Dr. Gu. But I have my reasons for doing this, and these reasons are worth the risk. I hope Dr. Gu can grant my request. If you agree, I will invest in your department in my own name. You can name your price."

"Name your price?" He tilted his head slightly, as if he had heard something interesting. "Mr. Xie is certainly generous, but..."

He changed the subject abruptly, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate one's heart.

"More than the astronomical investment, I'm curious about the 'reason' itself. Is it worth risking your career reputation, even going so far as to forge medical certificates, for that Ms. Lu Yao outside, right?"

Xie Linyu didn't seem surprised that Gu Jingxiao would guess it; he had never intended to hide it from the beginning.

She nodded slightly: "Is it really because of her that Dr. Gu is willing to help me?"

Seeing Xie Linyu's frank admission, Gu Jingxiao's lips curved upwards even further.

"For a woman who is still within the matching period, he is willing to tarnish his own reputation and even risk his future health and credibility," Gu Jingxiao said slowly. "Mr. Xie's 'devotion' is truly admirable."

"However, Mr. Xie, have you considered that a diagnosis of 'impaired function' might buy you some time and attention, but is that enough? Do you think General Fu Ciyan would easily allow you to use 'injury' as an excuse to intrude into their lives long-term?"

Xie Linyu's blue eyes narrowed slightly; Gu Jingxiao's words had clearly struck a nerve with his deepest secrets.

"So, what does Dr. Gu mean?"

Gu Jingxiao smiled.

"What I mean is, besides the diagnosis, Mr. Xie should also need some supportive treatments, and it would be best if Ms. Lu Yao could be involved in this. What do you think?"

It must be admitted that Gu Jingxiao's proposal was an irresistible temptation for Xie Linyu.

"Explain in detail."

Gu Jingxiao's smile deepened. He enjoyed dealing with intelligent people, especially those who clearly knew what they wanted and were not afraid to take risks.

"For example, 'auditory-emotional feedback training' in 'sensory stimulation-assisted therapy'," Gu Jingxiao said fluently, using a term that sounded very professional.

"We can set up a system where, in order to help you rebuild the damaged nerve response pathways to positive stimuli, you need to receive regular auditory stimulation of specific content and record changes in your physiological indicators. The most effective and safest 'auditory stimulus' is the voice of someone in your subconscious who can bring you desire."

Xie Linyu's pupils contracted subconsciously.

"And this method is probably the one that Miss Lu Yao is most willing to accept and cooperate with right now. She only needs to make some sounds to assist your 'rehabilitation' process. I believe that even General Fu wouldn't be able to say anything about it. What do you think?"

Meeting Gu Jingxiao's ambiguous smile, Xie Linyu had to admit that he was tempted: "Dr. Gu is indeed a professional. We'll do as you say."

"Alright, 5 million. I'll take care of all the follow-up issues for you."

Gu Jingxiao casually uttered the number "5 million," as if he were talking about the weather today.

The air in the consultation room seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Dr. Gu, you just said you weren't very interested in money, but now that you're asking for a price, you're not holding back at all."

Gu Jingxiao's smile remained unchanged, even appearing somewhat innocent. He gently pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses: "Does Mr. Xie think this 5 million is not worth it?"

"It's worth it, how could it not be worth it? I believe that even if Dr. Gu didn't become a doctor, he would definitely succeed as a businessman. 500 million it is. I hope Dr. Gu can keep his word and not ruin his reputation." Xie Linyu agreed without haggling. If spending 500 million could really make Lu Yao accept him, then the money was worth it.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to arrange things for Mr. Xie. Could you please go outside and let Miss Lu Yao and General Fu in? By the way, you can go outside for some fresh air and settle the bill." Gu Jingxiao smiled and raised his hand, clearly indicating that Xie Linyu should pay first.

Xie Linyu didn't say anything, got up and walked out of the consultation room.

When Lu Yao and Fu Ciyan saw him come out, they got up to greet him. Lu Yao spoke first: "How did it go? What did he say?"

Xie Linyu shrugged: "He said recovery takes time and told me to be patient. He asked you to go in for a bit while I go out for some fresh air."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be in a very good mood, Lu Yao felt a little nervous and worried that the outcome might not be good.

Fu Ciyan reached out and gently squeezed her shoulder, comforting her, "Let's go inside and hear what the doctor has to say."

Lu Yao nodded and pushed open the door to re-enter the consultation room.

When Gu Jingxiao saw them come in, his smile remained gentle.

"Miss Lu, General Fu, please have a seat." He gestured with his hand, his tone relaxed. "I just had a preliminary conversation with Mr. Xie. His situation is indeed somewhat complicated, but it's not entirely hopeless."

Lu Yao felt a little relieved: "Dr. Gu, what is the specific treatment plan?"

"We have developed a comprehensive, long-term rehabilitation plan." Gu Jingxiao pulled up a virtual report, which listed several seemingly very professional terms. "The core idea is to gradually repair damaged neural pathways and physiological functions through a multi-pronged approach, using medication, physical stimulation, and sensory-emotional feedback training."

At this point, his gaze fell on Lu Yao and Fu Ciyan, his tone carrying just the right amount of earnestness and difficulty: "Among them, 'sensory-emotional feedback training' is an important part. We need to awaken Mr. Xie's physiological response, that is, the specific stimulus of 'desire'."

"General Fu and Miss Lu Yao need to cooperate more on this. You two are currently in the matching period and should need to complete tasks every day. You can increase some interaction while doing tasks or when you are together. Mr. Xie does not need to watch, but just make sure he can hear your voices."
