"Really?" Liling asked and he nodded. "I think we should do it the moment we go back to Shanghai," she proposed to which he nodded.
"Thank you so much Jing Yue," she said. He agreed to it so as to make her happy.
The next day, Liling went to Li Fei's home to inform her about their departure.
"That is so bad! Have they gotten any clue on who might have killed her?" she asked when they informed her about the news of Zhan's death. "Not yet but it hurt me especially because I didn't get a chance to talk to her. I wanted to know whether I ever did something to anger her," said Li Fei
"You shouldn't worry about people like that. She wanted to kill you, FeiFei and she killed your child. Don't forget that," she reminded her. "Yes," she replied. Of course she killed her child, how could she forget that. "We are going back to Shanghai today evening. I would have wanted to stay longer but a lot has to be done," she said. "I understand. I appreciate the fact that you were here for me," she said. "You shouldn't thank me FeiFei. We are sisters," she replied.
When she left, Li Fei got her phone to call Jin Liwei. "Are you going back to Shanghai as well?" she asked. "Do you want me to go?" he asked. "Of course not," she said. "I won't leave then," he replied before saying," I want to see you."
"Me too but I doubt it will be any time soon. Mother won't let me go outside so easily," she said and when she heard footsteps approaching, she whispered," I think someone is coming. I will get back to you."
Hanging up and hiding the phone, she saw that it was a maid who came in to say," Young miss, Mrs Li Mei asks for you downstairs.
She says you have a guest."
"It has been quite some time Jianyu. Are you always busy?" Li Mei asked. "Kind of. I'm always occupied with many things. How is she?" "She's good as you will see. I sent for her," she replied. "You wouldn't have disturbed her. I'm not staying for long," he said. Looking around, Li Mei lowered her voice before asking," Ah, Jianyu. I know this is not the time to ask but... what are your plans about the wedding?"
"Mrs Li Mei, it is not a secret anymore that she doesn't feel the same way and I respect that.
We all know who she loves and the engagement between us was not real," he said. She took a deep breath. Somewhere, she expected that. "So what next?" she asked. "Nothing."
"To be honest, I envy the family you're going to marry into Jianyu. You're such a nice man."
"Thank you but I don't think I will ever get married. I mean, I don't picture myself with someone else," he said. "It is so unfortunate," she couldn't help but say before adding," So, what are your plans?" "I'm not sure yet. I was thinking of traveling to calm my mind," he said and they heard footsteps coming to where they were.
When Li Fei arrived, they talked for not so long before he bid them goodbye. Li Fei was glad that he wasn't overbearing like he was in the past and she wished for him to get his better half, just like she had found hers.
"So, you decided to call off the wedding," Li Mei said when she was walking away. "Yes mother," she affirmed. "Okay. If it's what you want that. I just hope you don't regret letting such a nice man go," she said to which she nodded.
A week passed and finally, it was the day scheduled for the appointment with the doctor for Liling and Jing Yue. "But five months isn't a big time for one to conclude that they have fertility problems," the doctor told Liling and Jing Yue looked at her.
"Yes doctor but it's coming to six months," she said. "Okay. We shall do the tests," he said and she nodded.
Half an hour later, the tests were done and they sat waiting for the results. "You should relax. Everything is going to be alright,"Jing Yue told her. "I can't. I'm so nervous," she said. "I understand but you shouldn't worry about a thing," he said and she nodded.
After the long wait, the doctor finally came back with the results and he asked," Is everyone comfortable discussing the results in each other's presence?" "Absolutely. We are spouses and friends at the same time," Jing Yue said. "Okay. Please follow me to my office," he said and they walked with him.
According to the way the doctor had phrased it, Liling thought something was wrong.
Taking their seats, he handed each one their envelope and they opened them. Reading every detail, Liling didn't understand much but she was sure that her results were okay.
Looking at Jing Yue who was keenly reading his, her eyes went back to her own document.
Clearing his throat, the doctor said," As you can see the results, we have a problem."
With this, Liling snapped her eyes to look at the doctor. Did she read wrongly?
"Mrs Jing's results are okay but there's a problem with Mr Jing's results. He has a problem called sperm motility disorder which makes it difficult or impossible for you to conceive through natural methods," he explained much to Liling's shock. It can't be.
She looked at him and realized that he was confused too. Looking back at the doctor, she asked," Doctor, are there no ways to change it. Like treatment?" "Luckily, it can be treated and I will recommend you to a specialist I know that handles such cases. Here is his business card," he said and gave her the business card.
Leaving the hospital, the two walked to the car in silence and Jing Yue sat in the passenger seat. Liling took the driver's seat and they sat in silence before she said," Uhm... I'm sorry about what happened. Jing Yue, I want you to know that we are in this together," placing her hand on his, she said," We are going to overcome this. We are seeking treatment and everything will be fine."
