Chapter 684: Chapter 687: Can’t Live Anymore
He clearly wanted to send Yue Yaer away, so he and Ye Xiaobei could have their own time, yet instead of Yue Yaer leaving, the whole Chi family was moving in???
The usually composed Fifth Lord of Gu was rattled, reaching past Ye Xingbei to lightly squeeze her waist.
Ye Xingbei quickly grabbed his hand and gave him a glare.
With her eyes wide and round, they reflected the chandelier’s light, turning them into an enticing, lucent hue, moist and glistening. Just looking at them made him want to tease her to tears, make her cling onto his neck and beg him, her pleading voice going straight to his bone marrow.
The Fifth Lord of Gu was even less composed now.
The Chi family was moving in.
That little brat, Qiao Zui, was bringing his girlfriend home.
How was he supposed to live ?
Things here were reaching a conclusion soon. Once Chi Qing recovered and Chi Zhen was apprehended, he would quickly bring Ye Xiaobei home.
Despite the ever-beautiful blooms of lavender, they could not linger in Flower Field anymore. What was the use of it now?
Yue Yaer was on time as predicted, returning half an hour later.
After greeting everyone, she sat next to Ye Xingbei, and said to Chi Yu and Chi Zhan in a frank manner, “The test results are out. You two have not been poisoned, but are affected by a plant extract called cotton phenol. This substance can damage your sperm-producing epithelium, thus affecting your fertility and it is irreversible… Simply put, whoever did this does not intend to kill you, but rather, to make you infertile.”
The world seemed to buzz in Chi Yu’s ears.
His wife, Duanmu Ying, was his childhood sweetheart and they had deep feelings for each other.
They had been married for over three years and always wanted a child, but his wife has yet to get pregnant.
Because of this, his wife underwent a special examination.
The results showed that she had a retroverted uterus, making it difficult to conceive. This had depressed her for a while.
After reading up about the condition, he knew a retroverted uterus only decreased the chances of getting pregnant and did not make it impossible. However, despite three years of harmonious marital life, his wife has yet to conceive.
Could it be that it was not his wife’s issue but his?
For a family like the Chi’s, offspring were highly valued.
Although he reassured his wife that it was okay, they were still young and had plenty of opportunities, that they should take it slow, he was actually very anxious.
Yue Yaer just said that this kind of damage was irreversible…
His heart pounded and his complexion reddened with distress, “Dr. Yue, right now I and my brother…”
“Luckily, you two haven’t taken cotton phenol for long enough to cause irreversible damage,” Yue Yaer said, “As long as you stop using that stuff, with the addition of some medication to promote the recovery of your sperm-producing epithelium, you will eventually recover.”
After a pause, she continued, “Cotton phenol may seem odd, but it’s just a plant extract from cotton seeds. It’s not exactly a poison, but a plant. This plant, however, has the side effect of harming sperm production and killing sperm.”
“But this stuff only works if consumed for a long period. Eating it once or twice won’t do anything. Based on the test results, you two have been taking cotton phenol for the past three years.”
“Fortunately, I presume, both of you do not regularly eat in the same place hence the concentration of cotton phenol in your blood hasn’t peaked. There’s still hope. If it had persisted a little longer, your sperm cells would be completely killed and you would lose the ability to father children.”
