She looked at Gu Qibao’s radiant face, watching her laugh so carefree yet as bright as spring. At this moment, something seemed to tug at her heart, but it didn’t hurt. Instead, it felt very warm.

"Yes!" She nodded vigorously, finally showing a smile on her face too, even jokingly saying, "Then I’ll reserve a pair of twins."

"Whoa!" Gu Qibao pretended to be surprised, widening her eyes, "That’s a bit technical! I’ll have to study up on this really well!"

Nangong Ran laughed, though her nose was still red, yet her smile was particularly beautiful.

With such love and friendship, isn’t this life already without regrets?

"And it’s not just Gu Xiaoqi’s," Di Mingchen chimed in from the side, "We can also reserve one from your third brother, or from Xiaoxia and big brother as well."

"This way, we can have lots of children." Di Mingchen held Nangong Ran’s hand tightly in his palm, "You could become a mother without any pain at all, isn’t that great."

"Yes, good." Nangong Ran nodded, her tears falling like a string of broken beads.

"But Nangong Ran, you haven’t said why you can’t have children? Is it because of the results from the last check-up?" Gu Qibao curiously leaned in, "Is it a problem with the ovaries?"

"No." Nangong Ran hurriedly wiped her tears, "The doctor said it’s a congenital uterine malformation. She said this kind of uterus can get pregnant, but even if it does, it basically results in miscarriage—they can’t keep the fetus. Forcing it could cause the uterus to rupture."

"What?" Gu Qibao widened her eyes.

Di Mingchen quickly comforted Nangong Ran, "If that’s the case, then let’s not have children. We’ll just take good contraceptive measures."

Nangong Ran nodded.

Gu Qibao, however, pouted to herself on the side, "It’s just that the uterus can’t normally carry a child, it’s not like there’s a problem with the ovaries, so you can still have your own baby with the second brother! You can find someone to be a surrogate! Just using their uterus. If you’re afraid of complications with outsiders, then just let me do it! But for the fee, it should be a bit high! At least a hundred million."

Gu Qibao blinked, looking very playful.

Gu Qibao’s words left Nangong Ran stunned for a moment, staring at her for a long time before she suddenly reacted.

Right!

It’s just a problem with the uterus being unable to carry a baby normally, not with the ovaries.

In such a case, they can completely do IVF and find a healthy uterus for surrogacy!

Gu Qibao’s words also ignited a spark of hope in Di Mingchen, it seemed like Gu Qibao made a lot of sense!

Seeing the two of them initially looking confused and then so joyful, Gu Qibao pouted disdainfully and said, "So you two shouldn’t be all worked up, and don’t go for adoption. Just do IVF when the time comes. I’ve heard IVF is amazing, you can even have triplets!"

"That would be great." Di Mingchen nodded immediately, turning his gaze to Nangong Ran, "Xiaoran, did you hear that? There’s not a lack of solutions; with how advanced medical science is nowadays, there must be a way. What’s most important right now is for you to take good care of your health. Look, you’ve gotten thinner again."

Di Mingchen tenderly tousled her hair.

She was already quite thin, and this ordeal made her even thinner, which made him incredibly distressed.

Plus, the doctor had previously mentioned that her fainting was due to prolonged periods without proper meals and malnutrition, which made Di Mingchen feel even more heartbroken. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Hearing Di Mingchen’s words, Nangong Ran nodded obediently, "Yes, okay, I got it."
