Seeing Shen Chi return, Luo Yufang asked cautiously.
Shen Chi nodded without uttering nonsense. Luo Yufang quickly entered the room, opened a bedroom door, and peeked inside: "Wanwan, come out now, the family planning officials have left."
Lin Xiaoguai sighed in relief, walked out of the room, and asked Shen Chi, whose face was stern, "What happened? Why did the family planning officials suddenly show up?"
She knew that after having one child, the family planning office would forcibly require an IUD insertion. She had narrowly escaped the first time and had skirted around the policy by having quadruplets the second time. Logically, she should not have been able to avoid it this time.
But given Shen Chi’s current status and the influence of Han Family, the family planning office shouldn’t be troubling her with minor matters, as evidenced by their silence over the past six months.
Yet, why did they suddenly show up?
If not for Zheng Cuicui’s call in advance, alerting her and bringing Shen Chi back in time, she might have faced an embarrassing situation today.
Although she disliked the idea of an IUD, it was not a major issue. However, being a Major General’s wife taken away in broad daylight would not only be disgraceful for herself but also for Shen Chi.
"It seems someone is sabotaging me," Shen Chi’s expression was rather grim.
He had enemies in the Military Department, but the men there usually wouldn’t stoop so low.
Of those he had offended recently, only one person could conceive such a self-defeating scheme.
"Do I really have to get that IUD?" Luo Yufang frowned.
She was young before these policies took effect and didn’t understand much about IUDs, but to her, having a foreign object suddenly inside a person’s body didn’t seem right.
Lin Xiaoguai knew that although IUDs do not harm the body, many older women had developed gynecological inflammations because of them.
However, at this point, she had no other choice. Instead of being forced to the hospital, it was better to go by herself.
"It’s okay, grandma, it doesn’t affect the body," she could only reassure her at the moment.
Shen Chi kept silent, frowning. Later that night, just before sleep, he hugged her and said, "You don’t have to get the IUD."
"Hm?" Lin Xiaoguai, half-asleep, was somewhat perplexed.
"I’ll go to the hospital for a vasectomy, so you won’t need to bother with that damn IUD."
Shen Chi spoke very calmly, but Lin Xiaoguai suddenly snapped awake. "Vasectomy?"
Shen Chi nodded, "I’ve asked before, a vasectomy is more convenient than an IUD for men. Unlike the IUD, which can cause inflammation with bad luck and has the worry of displacement, it provides permanent contraception."
What he didn’t mention was that Feng Li had mentioned women could also undergo sterilization, but it was more complicated than for men and could lead to pelvic issues, and he didn’t want Wanwan to suffer.
"Permanent contraception?" Lin Xiaoguai was startled.
Shen Chi thought she wanted more children and persuaded, "We already have enough children. Having more would spread our care too thin, and you aren’t happy just leaving them with nannies, right?"
Lin Xiaoguai, however, remembered Shen Chi mentioning his vasectomy in her previous life.
In fact, before their divorce, Shen Chi had told her he had the procedure, but she didn’t believe it. Firstly, she was too biased at the time, and she was eager to escape from Shen Chi, so why would she believe anything he said? Secondly, when Shen Chi spoke about the vasectomy, he was energetic, not at all like someone who had just undergone surgery.
Lin Xiaoguai felt he was merely deceiving her. After all, no man would want to forego the chance to have his own children. How could Shen Chi willingly undergo a vasectomy?
She had already lost her ability to conceive. Whether or not Shen Chi had a vasectomy, could she verify it herself? Lin Xiaoguai thought he planned to deceive her initially since she couldn’t reproduce and expose his lies, and when he grew tired of her and divorced, he could still marry and have children.
At that time, Shen Chi tried to retain her with this gesture, but she only took his words as deceit, not only unimpressed but growing more disdainful.
It was only when she was dying and heard the words from Xu Meimei that she was willing to believe that this man was indeed willing to go that far for her.
"You just had a surgery, and now you’re planning on having a vasectomy, can your body handle it?" Lin Xiaoguai looked doubtful.
"It’s fine, a vasectomy is a minor surgery," Shen Chi said indifferently.
"Or maybe I should get the IUD after all. Even minor surgeries require post-operative recovery, don’t they?" Lin Xiaoguai frowned.
