Chapter 708: Do You Want to Be a Father?

After dinner, Lu Ye went out to get the clothes that were drying. When he came back in, he said to Bai Zhi, "It seems like the Zhou family has been brewing Chinese medicine a lot lately."

Bai Zhi responded, "I smelled it too. It must be Wang Yumei taking care of her health again."

"Wang Yumei is taking care of her health? I thought Old Zhou was taking medicine." Lu Ye chuckled.

The last time I passed by their door, I heard Zhou Jianming complaining that the traditional Chinese medicine was too bitter.

"I don't know." Bai Zhi smiled when she heard Lu Ye's words. "I guess the couple are both preparing for having a baby."

Zhou Jianmin seems to be acting suspiciously lately.

A company commander would always come over to her, seemingly casually striking up a conversation.

Bai Zhi was so busy every day that she didn't have time to think much about it.

Now that they're talking about the couple, it's only now that I realize something seems off.

Could it be that Zhou Jianmin went to see her maternal grandfather for medical treatment?

I've been asking about her whereabouts lately because I want to avoid her and prevent awkwardness.

Bai Zhi guessed for a while, but then decided it wasn't very interesting.

Why be so secretive when it's just a medical appointment?

Of course, she also understood Zhou Jianmin's concerns.

After all, men care about their pride.

"So, do you want to be a dad?"

Seeing how hard Zhou Jianmin and Wang Yumei were trying to have a child, Bai Zhi looked at Lu Ye, wanting to hear his opinion on the matter.

They have been married for a year.

Is Lu Ye perhaps eager to become a father but too embarrassed to pressure someone to have a child?

Meeting Bai Zhi's earnest and inquisitive gaze, Lu Ye patted her head and said softly, "We'll consider this issue again once your studio is running smoothly."

Bai Zhi could tell that Lu Ye was answering her question very seriously.

She hugged his arm and said sweetly, "Thank you, you're so considerate of me."

"We'll start our baby-making plan next year."

"good."

Bai Zhi continued, "So, do you want a daughter or a son?"

“A son or a daughter is fine.” When asked about this, Lu Ye’s eyes softened. “My wife is so beautiful and intelligent, whether it’s a daughter or a son, they will definitely be adorable.”

"I'm afraid that after we have a child, you'll give me even less love." He frowned slightly, looking at her with a wronged expression.

Bai Zhi raised her hand and pinched his cheek. "What I gave you wasn't motherly love, those are two different things, okay?"

He smiled and said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. I was just worried that you would neglect me after we had a child."

"Don't worry, the love I give you is unique."

"Really? Then I want to feel your intense love for me right now."

With that, Lu Ye picked her up and started to walk towards the bedroom.

Bai Zhi was startled by his movement and kicked her legs hard, "What are you doing now? It's not even dark yet."

"No, it won't work even after dark. You can't be this inhumane every night."

The man gave her no chance to resist, carrying her into the bedroom with long strides. "I want to love you like this every night."

Bai Zhi was placed on the bed by him. Just as she was about to struggle to get up, the man had already pounced on her and started to tear off her clothes.

Wearing less clothing in the summer, Bai Zhi's shirt was quickly unbuttoned, and a cool sensation hit her chest. Startled, she quickly covered her chest with her hands, saying, "You've gone too far, like a hungry wolf."

"I get hungry just looking at you, I can't help it."

The man had no intention of letting her go; in no time, he was already shirtless and close to her.

Unable to resist, Bai Zhi could only push and shove, reminding him, "Don't be in such a hurry, you... you take out that little umbrella quickly."

"Let's try it out without any obstacles first, then we'll use it later."

Bai Zhi, "..."

........

Three months later.

The "Name Studio," a collaboration between the military hospital and Ye Rufeng, was officially unveiled and put into operation.

According to the previous agreement, Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi would hold clinics at the military hospital every Monday.

The Derentang Clinic will be closed on Mondays.

Ye Rufeng was somewhat nervous on his first day working at the studio.

Of course, he remained outwardly composed and serious.

Zhou Lin was genuinely nervous.

This was her first time visiting a military hospital, and seeing everyone in military uniforms and white coats everywhere gave her a sense of oppression.

Bai Zhi looked at Ye Rufeng and smiled, "Grandpa, are you nervous?"

Ye Rufeng glanced at him sideways, her tone indifferent, "What's there to be nervous about?"

"Look how nervous Linlin is, she doesn't even know which foot to step with."

Hearing Bai Zhi's teasing words, Ye Rufeng looked at Zhou Lin and sneered, "Useless."

"You've been with me for so long, and this little thing has scared you? Calm down, don't be so impulsive."

"Understood, Grandpa Ye."

On the first day of his clinic, no patients with related conditions came for treatment. However, doctors from other departments came to ask for help and requested Ye Rufeng's assistance in consultations.

A few months ago, a patient with coronary heart disease who had been consulted by Ye Rufeng was fortunate to have followed Ye Rufeng's advice and opted for conservative treatment instead of immediate surgery. The results were very good, and it proved that Ye Rufeng's diagnosis was correct. In addition, the patient's brain tumor was benign.

People in their 70s don't need to have brain surgery.

Given the severity of his underlying medical conditions, if he were to undergo surgery, he might not survive the operation.

So when they learned that Ye Rufeng was now seeing patients at a military hospital, they still wanted to consult with this experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor and get his advice when they had problems.

This patient is an orthopedic surgeon who wants to have joint replacement surgery, but because of rheumatism and heart disease, the doctor is hesitant to operate.

After the consultation, Ye Rufeng suggested conservative treatment.

Of course, Bai Zhi acted as the spokesperson and talked to Director Wang and the others about the specifics.

"Director Wang, it's like this. This patient has a heart problem. Once the anesthesia is administered, I'm afraid she won't survive the surgery. Also, she's only 50 years old. It's not the right time for her to have this knee replacement surgery. If the prosthesis only lasts for a little over ten years, she'll probably have to undergo another replacement when she's in her sixties, and her body won't be able to handle it."

Bai Zhi pointed to the X-ray and commented, "From this X-ray, we can see that there is still a chance to save her joint. The cartilage is not completely worn away, and there are still gaps. We can alleviate the pain through conservative treatment."

Director Wang sighed, "We understand these situations. The patient is mainly in unbearable pain and strongly requests surgery."

"The pain is due to inflammation. You can see there is fluid buildup in your knee joint. Once the fluid is absorbed, we can reduce the inflammation and pain, and once the swelling subsides, the pain will be much less."

"That's true..."

Director Wang hesitated, but Bai Zhi naturally sensed the difficulty in his words.

That being said, how can they achieve the goal of absorbing the fluid, reducing inflammation and pain, and eliminating swelling and pain in this patient?

Western medicine doesn't really have many good conservative methods for treating joint diseases; it only has painkillers and hormone drugs.

Traditional Chinese medicine can effectively solve these problems.

But she didn't know how to tell Director Wang the truth.

After all, they were patients of Director Wang's orthopedic surgery department, and since they were newcomers, they didn't say much.

She had just hesitated when she heard Ye Rufeng say to Director Wang and the others,

"If you're comfortable with this, please let me treat this patient."

Bai Zhi's expression became subtle upon hearing her grandfather's words.

This old man is too direct; he openly asks people for patients.
