Chapter 949: Failure

If Gu Mohan was a wolfhound and Lu Jinwen was a loyal dog then Fu Qinglun would be a little puppy.

Fu Qinglun was only 30 years old and exceptionally handsome. His skin was very fair and he had always been very clingy and affectionate towards Lin Shiyu. And so, the term ‘little puppy’ suited him very well.

His soft lips kissed her face continuously in a loving manner while Lin Shiyu pummeled him. “Where were you thinking of going when you got down from bed just now?”

“I wanted to get the video of us in the study room yesterday. I filmed everything down, and if you are going to deny it, I’ll…”

Lin Shiyu covered his mouth. “Fu Qinglun, you actually filmed us again! Don’t you have other new tricks?”

He had also filmed a video of them three years ago.

“Delete the video!”

Fu Qinglun propped himself up and looked down at her. “I can’t.”

“You’ve to make a choice between the video and me.”

“I want both.”

Pushing him away, Lin Shiyu prepared to get down the bed.

But Fu Qinglun grasped her svelte waist and pulled her again into his embrace. He buried his head in her neck, took in her fragrance and murmured, “I’m scared that you won’t want me again one day.”

Aye, what a little puppy. Fu Qinglun was not only clingy but needy too.

Lin Shiyu’s pretty features swiftly softened and she snorted delicately, “If I don’t want you, you’re going to use this video to threaten me, right?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Shameless! Lin Shiyu turned her face around. Her gaze slided downwards and landed on his trousers. “You haven’t recovered yet?”

Fu Qinglun grasped her delicate hand. “What do you think?”

Lin Shiyu promptly withdrew her hand and arched her exquisite willowy brows. “Silly, since you’ve recovered, then why do you still need the video? I’m here, so you can do whatever you want to do, isn’t that right?”

One second, two seconds… Realization promptly dawned on Fu Qinglun. His dark eyes blazed immediately and he wanted to pin her down again.

But Lin Shiyu rose, and he lunged forward at the air.

“We should head to the hospital now. Little Lemon is still there.”

With that, Lin Shiyu entered the bathroom and stood by the washstand to brush her teeth.

At this moment, Fu Qinglun embraced her from behind. “Shi’shi, when we go to the hospital later, you’re going to have your egg retrieved. Don’t be scared.”

“Oh.” Lin Shiyu let him embrace her.

“Shi’shi, we choose to have a surrogate mother to give birth to our child in consideration of your health. This is ultimately still our child. I hope you won’t harbor any obstacles in your heart and that you will love our child as much as I do.”

Lin Shiyu lowered her luscious lashes and nodded a few seconds later. “Mm”.

Fu Qinglun was filled with joy. “Do you want a daughter or a son? How about we have a son? He will be able to protect our Little Lemon in the future.”

…

At the hospital.

Fu Qinglun handed over his semen sample to Sikong. Sikong was wearing a white coat and he looked at Lin Shiyu. “Are you ready? I will proceed to retrieve an egg now. Don’t worry, I will inject anesthesia into you and you’ll fall asleep. I’ll only perform the retrieval ten minutes later.”

Lin Shiyu lay on the single bed and nodded. “I’m ready.”

Fu Qinglun hunched his broad body and kissed Lin Shiyu’s forehead. “I’ll be waiting for you outside. Don’t be afraid. When you open your eyes, you’ll see me.”

“Mm.”

The nurse wheeled Lin Shiyu into the operating theater and the door closed.

Fu Qinglun stood waiting outside. He was unsure why but he felt very uneasy. He kept telling her not to be fearful. Actually he was not consoling her, he was comforting himself.

He was the one who was scared.

Three years ago, he had stood outside the operating theater to wait for her. She had miscarried and she was in the operating theater twice.

At this moment, the red light of the operating theater lit up.

Fu Qinglun’s heart skipped a beat. What happened?

The door of the operating theater was pulled open and a nurse rushed out. “Miss Lin is bleeding. Quick, get some medicine to stop the bleeding!”

Lin Shiyu was bleeding.

Shi’shi!

Fu Qinglun’s dark eyes narrowed. What was happening?

He walked ahead but the main door closed before him again. He broke out in cold perspiration. Why was she bleeding?

How was she now?

Two minutes later, the door opened again and Sikong walked out with a serious expression. “Ah Sen, during the egg retrieval procedure, Lin Shiyu had internal bleeding. I stopped the surgery immediately and stopped her bleeding. She’s fine now, but I have to inform you that the procedure has failed. Lin Shiyu’s health is not suitable for the egg retrieval procedure and if we do it by force, she will bleed nonstop and even go into shock.”

What?

Fu Qinglun’s brows were tightly knitted in worry. “Where is Shi’shi? I want to see her now!”

He wanted to enter the operating theater.

“Ah Sen, we have a pressing issue now,” Sikong said.

Fu Qinglun stopped in his tracks.

“The egg retrieval procedure has failed and you have two choices now. The first choice is to let Lin Shiyu give birth to a child. However, the walls of her womb are too thin and even if she does get pregnant, she may miscarry spontaneously. She may give birth to the child just like how she gave birth to Little Lemon. She has to go through the same pain and suffering she has undergone before. During the nine months of pregnancy, her life can be endangered.

“The second choice is you bear a child with another woman. The child will be yours, but not Lin Shiyu’s… Ah Sen, I know it’s hard to make a decision but we can’t delay things further because of Little Lemon’s condition. If we delay, I cannot guarantee Little Lemon’s safety.”

Fu Qinglun clenched his fists. His body was as stiff as a statue and he did not move for a long time.

His handsome features were somber and exuded frostiness. He knitted his good-looking brows and gradually curved his lips.

Happiness was just in front of him and he could almost taste it.

But the heavens had to pull another joke on him again.

On one hand, Shi’shi’s life was at stake and on the other hand, Little Lemon’s life could be endangered. He had to make a decision now.

Everything was predestined. He had to return whatever he owed. The wind preceded a rising storm in the mountains. He was going to face an enormous obstacle in his life.

After what seemed like an eternity, he spoke, “I don’t have a choice, do I?”

Sikong pursed his lips. He already knew what Fu Qinglun’s decision was. At this moment, he needed to be calm and rational to make a decision.

“I understand.” Sikong nodded.

“I’ll hand over this matter for you to handle. Only both of us know about this. If a third party were to know, I will send him to hell.”

After speaking, Fu Qinglun’s handsome figure disappeared into the operating theater.

…

Lin Shiyu gradually opened her eyes. She was now in the ward.

Was the egg retrieval procedure successful?

Her anaesthesia had dissipated?

Lin Shiyu moved and she wanted to get up. But she realized her hand was enveloped in a warm large palm. She looked sideways to see Fu Qinglun asleep on her bed.
