Gao Lu shot Lin Fan an angry glare. "You've asked so many questions, but can you actually cure the illness?"
Lin Fan gestured for her to calm down. "One last question. Does your husband have other women outside?"
"What do you mean?"
Gao Lu sat up abruptly, her eyes fixed on Lin Fan with suspicion.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Fan knew he was close to the truth.
"Your body has no inherent problems and is capable of normal conception. The reason you can't get pregnant is because someone doesn't want you to be."
Lin Fan had already examined her and found a 'Jue Hu Gu' inside Gao Lu, which prevented her from conceiving.
Gao Lu's eyes immediately became alert, but she didn't get angry this time.
Lin Fan stated the facts plainly. "The Jue Hu Gu isn't a specific type of worm. It needs to be burned from a talisman paper to ashes and then fed to you to take effect."
"This kind of talisman water is similar to traditional Chinese medicine. You wouldn't drink it if a stranger offered it, so it must have been given to you by your husband or someone you trust, right?"
Gao Lu's face paled from dark. The atmosphere grew so heavy it felt like water could drip from it.
When they first got married, her husband had given her a bowl of herbal medicine, claiming it was to condition her body for pregnancy.
Now, she realized that must have been the one.
Otherwise, why hadn't she conceived yet?!
"This scoundrel! I thought he was looking for other women because I couldn't get pregnant, but I never expected he'd already been involved with others before we even married."
Gao Lu punched the hospital bed, trembling with rage.
"Do you still want to treat this illness?"
Lin Fan offered no comfort.
Gao Lu couldn't help but shed tears, gritting her teeth in hatred.
She didn't answer Lin Fan's question but instead said, "Lin Fan, I just can't understand."
"My classmates all think I married into wealth. They have no idea that this company actually belongs to me!"
"Before I married this scoundrel, the company was already generating substantial profits. I ran business errands and entertained clients daily, often returning home late at night for projects."
"This scoundrel does nothing all day, lives off my earnings, and spends my money on other women!"
"I tolerated all of that!"
"I always thought it was my own failing body that made him lose hope, leading him to find another woman for offspring."
"I never imagined that from the moment we married, he never intended for me to get pregnant!"
Lin Fan listened to her tearful confession quietly, without interruption.
Only after she finished did he calmly say, "You don't need to be too heartbroken. This Jue Hu Gu, though malicious, is also easy to resolve and will not affect your fertility."
"I'll be a b*stard if I have children for him!" Gao Lu cursed venomously.
In front of Lin Fan, she had shed her aloof and proud demeanor.
She looked at Lin Fan's handsome face, a thought of revenge forming in her mind.
"Xiao Fan, can you truly cure this illness?"
Lin Fan nodded. "Of course. The experts at the big hospitals can't find anything because it's not an illness, but a Gu."
Gao Lu lay down on the bed. "You can proceed. Treat it however you need to. I'll pay whatever it costs."
Lin Fan was surprised. "Didn't you just say you didn't want to have children for your husband?"
Gao Lu sneered. "Who said I'd have children for him after I'm cured."
"Then you..."
Lin Fan suddenly thought of something and didn't finish his sentence.
These two were planning to cuckold each other!
Who would have thought that seeing a doctor could lead to such an unexpected gain!
"Come, lift your top."
Lin Fan admired her curvaceous figure, marveling inwardly.
He wondered which fortunate brother would have the good luck to be the tool for this beautiful entrepreneur.
Whoever it was, they should thank him, Lin Fan!
Gao Lu was still fuming and, without a second thought, took off her jacket.
Instantly, her fair and smooth skin was revealed.
"Just lift it a little, exposing your abdomen is enough. Do you really think I'm a pervert!"
Lin Fan exclaimed, feigning distress.
"When this talisman water is consumed, it forms a membrane that adheres to the ovaries, directly killing the eggs and preventing you from... you know."
As he spoke, Lin Fan extended his right hand and gently placed it on Gao Lu.
Her skin was soft, smooth, and slightly cool.
A ball of spiritual energy surged from his palm, directly entering Gao Lu's body.
The spiritual energy felt somewhat hot, causing Gao Lu to instinctively shift and her entire body tensed.
In her life, besides her husband, no other man had ever touched her so closely.
But at this moment, it didn't matter.
She would eventually...
Lin Fan closed his eyes, not looking at Gao Lu's alluring posture on the bed.
He controlled the spiritual energy, which quickly reached its destination and began to consume the membrane.
"Done."
Lin Fan slowly withdrew his hand.
This level of Gu removal was as easy for him as treating a common cold, presenting no difficulty whatsoever.
"It's done already?"
Gao Lu was incredibly surprised.
She gently rubbed her lower abdomen, the warm sensation still lingering.
Even inside, she felt a warmth she'd never experienced before as a woman.
"Eat lightly after you go back, avoid staying up late, don't drink alcohol, and come back for a follow-up in three days."
As Lin Fan spoke, he took off his white coat.
Seeing that Lin Fan hadn't even looked at her more than necessary, Gao Lu's estimation of him increased.
She considered herself reasonably attractive, and there were no shortage of lecherous men in the business world who harbored ill intentions towards her.
She had never encountered a man like Lin Fan, who was solely focused on treating her illness and didn't let his mind wander.
"Xiao Fan, I'm sorry. My attitude earlier was not good. I sincerely apologize now. I was looking down on you with blind eyes."
Gao Lu politely bowed deeply to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled and waved his hand. "I understand how you felt. It's alright."
Gao Lu took out her phone, asked for Lin Fan's contact information, and transferred a thousand yuan to him.
Lin Fan didn't accept it. "We're old classmates, and it wasn't a difficult task for me."
"This money is just for you to buy some good food to nourish yourself. I'll return it all to you, principal and interest, in a few days," Gao Lu insisted.
She looked shy and flashed a mysterious smile.
Lin Fan was taken aback. Given her persistence, refusing would be disrespectful.
After clicking to receive the payment, Lin Fan tore a piece of paper from the calendar. He then bit his fingertip, drawing a complex talisman on the back of the paper with his blood.
"You must keep this talisman close to you at all times. Even when bathing, keep it with you. It can save your life in a critical moment."
Gao Lu was very curious about Lin Fan's mastery of Taoist arts, but she understood that everyone had their secrets and didn't ask further.
She pulled off a necklace from her neck, which had a heart-shaped locket as a pendant, containing a wedding photo of her and her husband.
Gao Lu folded the talisman, carefully placed it inside the locket, and then closed it. She put it in her handbag without putting the necklace back on.
