Flower City's Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 316: Han Zhenhua’s Request

Li Chen knew he was being somewhat selfish.

But a man’s possessiveness is often just that unreasonable.

Especially after being with his sister-in-law, he had subconsciously come to regard her as his own woman. Who would be willing to let his woman be touched by another man?

"Li Chen, thanks a lot!" After everyone dispersed, Han Zhenhua came over to Li Chen with a wry smile and said.

"Brother Zhenhua, you... how could you..." Li Chen asked curiously.

"Sigh... that’s all in the past now, let’s not talk about it. You must never let dad know the real situation; I’m afraid he couldn’t take it," Han Zhenhua shook his head without explaining.

Then, his gaze settled on Li Chen, staring for a moment before hesitating to speak.

After a long silence, a firm light began to grow in his eyes, "Li Chen, if I needed your help with something, would you be willing to help me?"

"Brother Zhenhua, you just say it..." Li Chen nodded.

Brother Zhenhua had always treated him quite well. A watch worth several tens of thousands, given as a present without a second thought, clearly regarded him as one of the family.

Despite the surge of possessive impulses over his sister-in-law, he didn’t want to betray his heartfelt desires; yet, for other people, he was still willing to offer his help.

"With your word, I can rest assured."

Han Zhenhua looked around and said, "It’s not convenient to talk about it at home today. I’ll come to see you tomorrow, and we can talk then!"

A sneaking suspicion arose in Li Chen’s heart—what could be so secretive?

Could it be related to his sister-in-law?

After much thought, he couldn’t wrap his head around it and decided to wait until he got the full story tomorrow.

After dinner, having tidied up, he returned to his bedroom.

Having discussed such matters today, he was unsure of how his sister-in-law felt. He wanted to chat with her, but knowing Brother Zhenhua was there, he forcefully suppressed the urge.

"Li Chen, I’m outside your hospital. Are you available now?"

"Okay!"

He left the hospital and got into Han Zhenhua’s car. The two went to a tea house.

"Brother Zhenhua, what’s the matter exactly?" Li Chen asked first.

"Li Chen, you already know my physical condition. I won’t lie to you—this is all my own doing, only I discovered it too late. Dad only has one son, and I dare not let him find out."

Han Zhenhua took a pause, then slowly began, "Actually, I’ve already seen many doctors privately, both domestic and international. So, I don’t have much hope left."

As he spoke, a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on his face.

Being inadequate in that department was already the most bruising thing to a man’s ego, let alone now that it had been exposed.

Li Chen could empathize with Han Zhenhua’s feelings but still couldn’t figure out what he wanted from him.

"Yesterday, as you saw, dad’s attitude makes it clear. If Mengxue and I can’t have children, he will definitely become suspicious."

"So, I want you to help me with this: let Mengxue get pregnant."

Han Zhenhua sipped his tea and spoke in a gentle, measured tone.

His voice was calm, devoid of any ripples, yet when it reached Li Chen’s ears, it struck like thunder.

His head buzzed, and he was totally flabbergasted.

"Brother Zhenhua, you..."

Li Chen was genuinely shocked; even with all his imagination, he had never anticipated that Brother Zhenhua would ask him for this kind of help.

His eyes wide open, it took him a while to come back to his senses.
