The CEO is domineering, the devil Boss is addicted to pampering

Chapter 1111: Star Language Wish: Long-term Infertility

The days passed like a wound-up clock, ticking mechanically and monotonously. Day after day, Gu Yunqian and Su Xingya fell into a cycle that seemed sweet but was actually tormenting.

Every night, the room is filled with an ambiguous and oppressive atmosphere. They "frequently hand in homework" as if they are completing a task, again and again, trying to complete the "mission" that is related to the future direction.

Before the first ray of light in the early morning completely dispelled the coolness of the night, Su Xingya forced herself to stand up, holding the pregnancy test stick tightly in her hand, her eyes revealing a bit of nervousness and expectation, mixed with a hint of imperceptible resistance, and she hid in the bathroom alone.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she carefully followed the instructions. Then she stared at the small display window on the pregnancy test stick. Every second of waiting seemed as long as a century.

However, the initial results were always the same. At the beginning, there was a lonely pregnancy test stick in the trash can, with a prominent line on it.

Later, as the days passed, many pregnancy test sticks with the same results piled up. The glaring red lines were like uncrossable ravines lying before them.

Even so, they still did not give up. Carrying that increasingly faint hope, they frequently shuttled between various departments of the hospital.

Registration, queuing, blood drawing, examination, each step was repeated countless times. Every time they waited for the test results, their palms were filled with cold sweat, and their hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, hanging in their throats.

The smell of disinfectant in the corridor was pungent and suffocating. The noisy voices and hurried footsteps around them seemed to have nothing to do with them. They were immersed in their own anxious world, unable to extricate themselves.

Su Xingya looked at the white walls of the hospital with empty and confused eyes. She knew very well that if the child came one day later, she would have to struggle for one more day in this emotional dilemma that was like a cage.

She longed for freedom, longed to break free from all these shackles, and find her former independent and free-spirited self. But now, she was firmly trapped by the shackles of "preparing for pregnancy" and could not move.

Gu Yunqian, as a man standing at the top of the pyramid, is used to controlling everything. He can calmly deal with the changes in the business world. Every decision and every layout can develop in the direction he expected.

However, at this moment, this thing he had carefully planned was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and it did not go as expected at all. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, as if he had been stabbed in the back, which directly affected his mentality.

His brows were furrowed all day long, and his eyes showed anxiety and unwillingness. His innate confidence and composure were gradually worn away by the repeated disappointments.

Several months passed in a flash in this dark day.

That day, the two of them once again dragged their exhausted bodies out of the hospital examination room and leaned exhaustedly on the cold handrails in the hospital corridor.

The hustle and bustle around them seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. In their world, the only sounds were each other's heavy breathing and exhaustion.

They all lowered their heads and said nothing, as if all their strength had been drained away, or as if there were thousands of words stuck in their throats and they didn't know where to start.

Until Gu Yunqian took the lead and moved his legs that felt like they were filled with lead, ready to leave this depressing and suffocating place.

When he passed by Su Xingya, a woman's voice came from behind him, like a cold arrow piercing the silent night sky: "Why not do a test tube?"

Gu Yunqian's footsteps paused instantly, and his body froze, as if he had been struck by lightning. He turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of shock and confusion, and met Su Xingya's serious and almost resolute eyes. After confirming that she was not joking, he opened his lips slightly, as if he was about to say something.

However, Su Xingya did not give the man any chance to speak. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes cold, and added directly: "You can decide its genetic composition yourself..."

She paused and didn't continue speaking.

In fact, deep down in her heart, she actually hoped that Gu Yunqian would give up and try looking for someone else.

After all, in her opinion, she was just a stand-in, so why should she be so persistent?

But the man in front of her had a firm look in his eyes. Just from this look she knew that he was determined to use her genes. For a stand-in, was this the highest honor?

A self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips, which contained too much helplessness, sadness and powerlessness to fight against fate...

Sure enough, subsequent developments were as Su Xingya had expected. Gu Yunqian acted decisively and bravely, and arranged the entire test tube process without hesitation.

For a moment, the two seemed to be caught in a tense race against time, and they started another set of inspections without stopping.

The cold corridor of the hospital became a passage they frequently shuttled through. The pungent smell of disinfectant constantly irritated their nasal cavity, and every step forward was accompanied by anxiety about unknown outcomes.

Su Xingya suppressed her inner uneasiness and stepped into the examination rooms filled with the buzzing sounds of instruments.

The egg retrieval process was like a nightmare to her.

The cold instrument penetrated her body, and a sharp pain instantly hit her. She subconsciously grasped the edge of the bed with both hands, her knuckles turned white from the force, her body trembled uncontrollably, and cold sweat poured out from her forehead like rain, soaking her hair.

Every subtle movement brought out deeper pain, and she felt as if she was in the double torment of an ice cellar and a sea of ​​fire.

But even so, there was a stubbornness and determination in Su Xingya's eyes.

She knew very well that every bit of pain she endured at this moment was like accumulating strength to break free from the cage in the future, and was the only way to freedom.

So, she closed her eyes tightly, bit her lower lip tightly, kept encouraging herself in her heart, and tried hard to adjust her breathing, trying to calm her wildly beating heart and get through this long and difficult moment.

In comparison, although Gu Yunqian also felt mixed emotions when he was collecting semen, the physical discomfort he felt was not even one-tenth of what Su Xingya experienced.

When all the difficult processes were finally over and the embryo was implanted into Su Xingya's body, she seemed to have used up all her strength and breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing in her heart that she was one step closer to the process of leaving that she had been longing for.

The hospital corridor was still deserted. Outside the door, Lu Jinqi quietly appeared beside Gu Yunqian at some point.

He stood there quietly with an upright posture and a stern face, without making any sound for a while. His eyes, with a bit of inquiry, switched back and forth between the door of the operating room and Gu Yunqian's tense face.

After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and spit out the number of embryos performed in the operation. His low voice echoed in the silent corridor, seeming to add a bit of solemnity to the depressing atmosphere.

When Gu Yunqian heard this, his expression became more solemn, as if he was being crushed by a huge rock.

He frowned, his eyes showing worry and self-blame, his lips pressed into a straight line, suppressing his complex emotions.

When he saw Su Xingya being pushed out, his heart was like being pulled up. Her face was as pale as paper, bloodless, sweating all over, her hair was messy and stuck to both sides of her cheeks, and she collapsed on the bed, letting the doctor push her slowly forward.

Gu Yunqian's breathing suddenly stagnated and he subconsciously turned his eyes away. At that moment, he really didn't dare to look her in the eye.

It seemed that the moment their eyes met, all the guilt and sin in one's heart would be exposed.

Every day after that, whenever this scene appeared in his mind like a ghost, he felt like an unforgivable sinner, full of regret and pain, and kept asking himself in his heart whether all this was right or wrong...
