Inside the ultrasound room of Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch, Jian Yumin was accompanying Luo Xiuen. He nervously looked at the screen.
Even though Jian Yumin could see the screen, he could not read nor interpret its contents.
And thus, he asked Jian Yiling who was examining Luo Xiuen: “Yiling, is your sister-in-law carrying a boy or a girl?”
Jian Yiling did not answer his question immediately. Instead, she used the instrument in her hand to repeatedly scan Luo Xiuen’s belly before she replied: “A boy.”
“Boy?” Jian Yumin exclaimed in dismay. “Are you… Sure?”
Luo Xiuen was also visibly disappointed.
However, Jian Yiling was almost never wrong. Her second child was definitely another boy.
Luo Xiuen looked down at her belly and exclaimed: “Why is it so hard for me to have a baby girl?”
Jian Yumin also added sullenly: “Brats like Jian Dan are annoying to deal with.”
Both Luo Xiuen and Jian Yumin were a little disappointed. It wasn’t that they didn’t want a son. Rather, they desperately preferred having a baby girl.
After a while, Jian Yumin perked up again, “Xiuen, if this one doesn’t work out, we can have another child! We will definitely have a daughter!”
“Yes! That’s what I was thinking as well!” Luo Xiuen replied happily.
Naturally, if Jian Yumin and Luo Xiuen planned to have another child, the happiest people would be Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian.
After all, the rest of their grandsons were all single and it was not an easy task to get them to become married. Hence, for now, they had to rely on Jian Yumin and Luo Xiuen to prolong the legacy of the Jian family. And if they were willing, Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian definitely wanted them to complete everyone else’s share as well.

Qin Chuan, who was suffering from terminal lung cancer, was Jian Yiling and Zhang Xin’s research topic.
And thus, from time to time, Jian Yiling would come to Qin Chuan’s hospital room to do various tests on him.
When Qin Chuan looked at the busy figure in front of him, his mood was inexplicably calm.
When Jian Yiling appeared in his ward for the third time, Qin Chuan asked Jian Yiling: “How long do I have to live?”
For some strange and unexplainable reason, Qin Chuan believed that Jian Yiling would ultimately win the competition she had against Zhang Xin.
However, he also believed that he might not be alive to witness her win.
After all, it was impossible for the research to be fruitful in such a short period of time.
I don’t know,” Jian Yiling answered. She did not lie nor did she say words to comfort Qin Chuan.
She indeed did not know how much longer he could live.
Upon hearing this response, Qin Chuan smiled a little. This smile added a little warmth to his exhausted face.
“Then can you give me a rough estimate?”
“I can’t. I’m unable to estimate your remaining life expectancy without exact data to support it.”
“Okay,” Qin Chuan softly replied. He knew that what Jian Yiling said was true. She would not deceive him with this kind of thing.
“I want to ask you a question,” Jian Yiling said as she looked at Qin Chuan seriously.
When he saw her eyes, Qin Chuan’s smile became gentler: “Go ahead and ask.”
“Did your decision to do those things, despite knowing that you have a terminal illness, have anything to do with me?”
Jian Yiling did not understand what Qin Chuan was doing. However, she knew that the Qin Chuan in front of her was different from the Qin Chuan in the original novel.
And thus, she could no longer judge him the same way.
“Yep, it does,” Qin Chuan. “However, it’s difficult to explain whether it’s because of love or hate. My feelings towards you are rather complicated. Maybe it’s because I came to the realization that some things in life become more precious once lost. You loved me so much in our previous lives. And now, the person you love has become Zhai Yunsheng.”
