Chapter 62: The Clueless Little Man

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them left the driving school.

After dropping Song Jianian back at school, Chen Yuan headed over to Jiang Wangyi's place.

She was wearing a slip nightgown. Originally a loose-fitting design, it clung to her figure when worn, perfectly outlining the shape of her hips.

"Why doesn't your complexion look too good? Are you feeling unwell?" Chen Yuan stepped forward to ask.

Jiang Wangyi clutched her lower abdomen. "It hurts a bit, and I don't know why."

"Could it be your period?"

"Probably not, it's still several days away, and it wouldn't hurt this much either."

"Then don't just endure it. Let's go to the hospital and get it checked out."

"There's the baby, too. It's inconvenient to take her along. It's an old issue; it occasionally happened before," Jiang Wangyi said through clenched teeth.

Chen Yuan had never experienced such a situation and couldn't immediately judge what was wrong.

"We should still go to the hospital and have a look."

"There's still the baby, and it's inconvenient to bring her."

"I'll just carry her. Go change your clothes, and I'll dress Mili."

"Listen to you."

Jiang Wangyi returned to the bedroom and changed into lightweight clothes. Little Mili's clothes were easy to put on; after a diaper, anything else would do.

Feeling too unwell to drive, the two of them hailed a taxi.

"My place is relatively close to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Let's go check there first."

Chen Yuan nodded and pulled up the official WeChat account of the Traditional Chinese Medicine University on his phone.

"Use my phone. I've registered there before."

Jiang Wangyi handed over her phone. Her face was frighteningly pale, and she kept clutching her lower abdomen, resting her head gently against Chen Yuan's shoulder.

Chen Yuan used Jiang Wangyi's phone to register for the night clinic.

The Traditional Chinese Medicine University was also within the university town, and its affiliated hospital was right next door, just a dozen minutes away by taxi.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Yuan helped Jiang Wangyi to a seat.

There weren't many people at the night clinic, and after a few minutes of waiting, it was their turn.

Following the principle that older means more experienced, the doctor they saw was an old man with white beard, looking quite formidable.

"Tell me, what's the situation?"

"My stomach just hurts, and it's still several days before my period," Jiang Wangyi described.

"Go get a color ultrasound first."

Before diagnosing the illness, the examination order was issued first.

After being directed to the examination area, Chen Yuan took Jiang Wangyi for the ultrasound.

A few minutes later, the test results came out, showing nothing abnormal, which finally set Chen Yuan's mind at ease.

Returning to the consulting room once more, the veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctor glanced at the examination report and felt Jiang Wangyi's pulse.

"It's just qi stagnation and blood stasis. Nothing major."

"But it hurts terribly right now. What should we do?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Take some ibuprofen. You can buy some at any pharmacy."

Hearing this, they were completely reassured—at the very least, there was no danger.

"After giving birth, you probably haven't had marital relations, right? Combined with taking care of the baby, lack of rest also plays a role."

The veteran doctor looked at Chen Yuan. "Is there any problem with you?"

"Huh?"

Chen Yuan was momentarily caught off guard. As an eighteen-year-old greenhorn youth, he had never encountered this before.

"Don't be shy. A patient shouldn't hide from the physician. You look quite young; it's better to treat any ailment while you're young. Drinking some herbal medicine can set things right."

Though her stomach hurt terribly, Jiang Wangyi still wanted to laugh.

All his experience came from books; he probably had zero practical experience in this area himself.

"Are you impotent or having stamina issues? I can check you while we're at it."

"Doctor, you've misunderstood. My engine is still running quite well."

"Oh? If it's running well, why haven't the two of you resumed marital relations?"

The veteran doctor said sagely:

"Let me tell you, the frequency of marital relations shouldn't be too high, but you can't have none either, otherwise problems easily arise. Just like your wife, she's already given birth; normally, it wouldn't be this severe."

The veteran doctor operated the computer with a single finger and issued another prescription.

"Go back and drink more hot water. If you can't bear the pain, take some painkillers. There's no need to take those messy medicines; just resume your marital life and it will get better."

So it turns out I'm the one supposed to cure her?

"Understood..."

Emerging from the consulting room, Jiang Wangyi's condition hadn't improved much, but knowing there were no other issues brought peace of mind.

The two returned the way they came. After getting out of the taxi, they bought painkillers at the pharmacy by the entrance of the residential complex.

Once home and after taking the medicine, Jiang Wangyi lay down on the sofa.

There were supplies in the refrigerator. Chen Yuan fed little Mili, burped her, and then placed her inside the baby playpen.

Lying on the sofa and watching Chen Yuan bustle about, Jiang Wangyi felt a wave of profound emotion.

Ever since he entered her life, her state seemed to be guided by him.

When deciding whether to go to the hospital, she had been indecisive, but without a second word, he insisted on taking her.

Dressing the child, registering, seeing the doctor, returning home, buying medicine...

This entire sequence of affairs was arranged methodically, and his emotional stability was off the charts. She hadn't needed to do a single thing herself, following his lead the entire way.

If he really were her husband, it would actually be quite wonderful...

Huh?

Why on earth did such a thought pop into her head?

Knock, knock, knock—

A knock sounded at the door, and Chen Yuan went to open it.

The electric warm compress she had ordered on Meituan had arrived. He brought it to the dining table and plugged it in.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Much better after taking the painkiller. I was just terrified it might be something else, so I was a bit uneasy."

"I boiled some water for you; it's to regulate qi and blood. Drink it like regular water from now on."

A tender smile appeared on Jiang Wangyi's face.

"Now the two of us, mother and child, are entirely under your care."

"If something like this happens again next time, I'm not going. My reputation is completely ruined."

"Hahaha..."

Jiang Wangyi laughed so hard her waist shook, and her stomach seemed to hurt a little less.

"I didn't expect him to say that either."

"That old fogey was somewhat out of line. Why didn't he say it was your problem?"

"That just shows the doctor I picked is good and experienced."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

Looking at Chen Yuan, Jiang Wangyi smiled inwardly. *Big sis will give you a brief lesson on related knowledge today.*

"Generally, after their wives give birth, most men lose interest. There are countless such cases. Women are the opposite; before giving birth, they might not feel much—it's practically like clocking in for work—but after giving birth, things change."

"Huh?"

What kind of logic was this?

Chen Yuan didn't quite get it.

"The process of giving birth doesn't mean you just go to the hospital and have the baby immediately; it's an embarrassing process. Some men develop psychological barriers after witnessing those scenes and lose interest in matters of intimacy."

"They probably get postpartum depression too, right?"

"Right, I had it too. It lasted for several months, and I took quite a bit of medicine before slowly adjusting out of it."

The system had mentioned that his future wife suffered from postpartum depression, accumulated grief until she fell ill, and eventually passed away prematurely. This illness truly couldn't be underestimated.

"So what the doctor said actually makes sense."

"But the reputation of Mighty Man here has been violated. I need to find a lawyer to sue him."

Jiang Wangyi burst into laughter. A little rookie virgin who only had book knowledge actually called himself Mighty Man.

Though... he did seem quite well-endowed indeed...
