Chapter 288: Hearing

."You're right, when I was looking closely at your eyes just now, I noticed they were exactly like hers. If I didn't know that your parents are still alive, I would have thought you two were sisters."...Fu Xiaoyao was stunned, and she belatedly replied, "No."

"And then..."

Fu Xiaoyao smiled. "What I mean is, we'll have more children in the future."

"So that's how it is." Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyelids, concealing the disappointment in his eyes.

He still thought, a miracle had happened.

"Hanchuan." Fu Xiaoyao suddenly called out.

Lu Hanchuan looked at her, "What's wrong"

Fu Xiaoyao bit her lower lip, seeming a little embarrassed. "That... Could you give me another child"

"Are you thinking..."

"Hmm," Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flashed a surprise, gone in a flash, then he smiled faintly and replied with a single word, "Good."

This was still her, the first time she took the initiative to seduce him.

Fu Xiaoyao let out a breath, her flushed face leaning into his embrace. "Thank you,"

"You don't need to thank me, we are husband and wife. The child is naturally a matter for the two of us." Lu Hanchuan lifted her chin and said.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes avoided his gaze, giving a weak, mosquito-like hum in response.

Lu Hanchuan pinched her chin, turning her face towards him. "Look at me."

Fu Xiaoyao shifted her gaze back to him.

"Kiss me." Lu Hanchuan commanded.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened slightly, "Kiss... kiss you"

"Yes." Lu Hanchuan nodded.

Fu Xiaoyao swallowed nervously, "But..."

"You don't want to" Lu Hanchuan interrupted her.

Fu Xiaoyao tightened her hand, "No, it's just that I've never taken the initiative before, so I wouldn't."

"If you can't do it, just think about how I usually do it, and you do the same." Lu Hanchuan encouraged her.

Fu Xiaoyao was still embarrassed.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "Don't want children anymore"

"I want it!" Fu Xiaoyao blurted out without thinking.

Lu Hanchuan's lips curled slightly, "Then do as you say."

"You really want me to do it myself" Fu Xiaoyao became nervous, her expression strained.

Lu Hanchuan slightly raised his chin, without responding, but his meaning was already clear. He wanted her to take the initiative.

Fù Xiǎoyáo had no choice, she could only take a deep breath, close her eyes and tiptoe to kiss Lǔ Hánchuan's lips.

His lips were a little cold, and the moment he kissed her, Fu Xiaoyao couldn't help but shiver.

But fortunately, she adapted quickly. Her mindset became more relaxed, and she began reminiscing about the scenes where the man kissed her. Then, according to the image in her memory, she stuck out her tongue and tried to pry open the man's lips.

She just wasn't brave enough to use any force, so it was more like she was licking with her tongue tip than prying.

Lu Hanchuan's lips, which had been licked, felt a little itchy. He couldn't help but frown, and he didn't have much patience left inside.

He already understood that when she actually kissed him, he wouldn't know when that would be.

Then Lu Hanchuan turned passive into active, holding Fu Xiaoyao and turning her around in a circle before pressing her against the edge of his desk.

"Hmm..." Fu Xiaoyao hummed involuntarily.

Lu Hanchuan took advantage of the moment her lips parted, proactively thrusting his tongue inside and seizing control of the kiss.

He kept his mouth busy, and his hands didn't stop either. One hand held her waist, preventing her softened body from slipping down. The other hand reached behind her, sweeping everything off the desk to the floor, clearing the desk.

Then, Lu Hanchuan stopped kissing and looked into Fu Xiaoyao's dazed eyes, breathing heavily. He suddenly clasped her waist with both hands, lifted her up, and placed her on the desk. Then he leaned down and pressed her down again, kissing her once more....

Several hours later, when everything had settled down, Fu Xiaoyao had already curled up on the sofa, exhausted to sleep.

Lu Hanchuan draped a blanket over her, parted the stray strands of short hair that fell across her face, and stared at her flushed cheeks for a while. Then he took his phone to the balcony and made a call.

"Hello Who is it" Shao Si Nian's voice came from the phone, sleepy and blurry.

Lu Hanchuan looked at the night sky outside the balcony and coldly replied, "It's me."

The phone fell silent instantly.

A few seconds later, Shao Si Nian roared angrily: "Lu Hanchuan, are you crazy Why did you call me in the middle of the night"

Lu Hanchuan didn't mind his rudeness, faintly opening his mouth and saying: "I ask you, does Fu Xiaoyao still have a possibility of being pregnant"

"Why are you asking this out of the blue" Shao Sinian retorted angrily.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, "She wants a child."

"So you told her the truth" Shao Sinians' voice dropped suddenly, as if he had just awoken from a stupor.

Lu Hanchuan pressed his brow, "No, tell her, she won't accept it."

"That's right." Shao Sian let out a barely perceptible sigh, then his expression turned serious. "The director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department told me at the time that she was severely traumatized, with a very low chance of getting pregnant, but it wasn't impossible. It all depends on fate."

"I don't want to know about fate. All I want to know is, can it be cured" Lu Hanchuan said impatiently.

Shao Sini pondered for a few seconds, “There are two methods. The first is conditioning, but it will take a long time, possibly several years before you can get pregnant. Although the probability of getting pregnant is not as high as when in perfect health, there’s still a 30% chance.”

"What about the other one" Lu Hanchuan frowned deeply.

This treatment method is conservative, although stable, the time is a shortcoming.

He didn't know if Fu Xiaoyao was willing to wait so long, he said it was him, he didn't want to wait a few years either, he hoped she could get pregnant sooner.

He had always known that she carried a deep wound in her heart after losing their child, so he wanted to help her get pregnant again as soon as possible. He hoped that having another child would heal the pain from losing their first one.

“The second method…” Shao Sinians eyes sank slightly, as if there was something unspoken.

Lu Hanchuan couldn't wait any longer, his face darkened as he urged, "What is it, just say it!"

"Sigh." Shao Siniang let out a breath. "Alright, I'll tell you. It's in vitro fertilization. That's the fastest way for you to have a child."

"No!" Lu Hanchuan immediately vetoed, his face very ugly.

Get pregnant through IVF

He absolutely would not agree!

Moreover, it's unclear if her body could withstand the rigors of in vitro fertilization.

As for Lü Hánchuan's resistance, Shào Sīnián was not surprised at all. He yawned calmly, "So, I didn't want to tell you this in the first place. You insisted on me saying it, and now that it's out, isn't it still a rejection"

Lu Hanchuan remained silent.

Shao Si Nian said again, "If you want to have a child, you still need to take it step by step. Rushing is useless. It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend, you can bring her to the hospital once, right I also talked to her the other day."

"Understood." Lu Hanchuan replied coldly.

After that, Shao Siniu also reminded him of some other things, then hung up the phone.

Lu Hanchuan put away his phone and turned to return to his study.

Then, just as he turned, he seemed to have seen something. His pupils contracted suddenly, and his face changed a little.

After a while, he pursed his thin lips, suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart. His expression was complex as he asked, “How long have you been standing here”

Fu Xiaoyao didn't respond, she just stood behind the floor-to-ceiling window, her head bowed, sobbing softly. Her expression was hidden from view, but the sorrow that emanated from her was heartbreaking.

Lu Hanchuan let out an almost imperceptible sigh. “You heard it too” his left eye.Lu Hanchuan stepped forward, shielding Fu Xiaoyao behind him. "Mr. Tang, talking to my wife in front of me is a bit too disrespectful, isn't it""Mr. Lu, what are you talking about I woul...
