Xie Linyu did not respond to Gu Jingxiao's words. Both sides knew the situation, so why say such pointless things?

Gu Jingxiao seemed to be just joking casually. Seeing that Xie Linyu ignored him, he didn't say anything more. He simply followed Xie Linyu to the room and closed the door.

"I should congratulate Mr. Xie on achieving his wish."

Xie Linyu walked to the sofa by the window and sat down: "Speaking of which, I should thank Dr. Gu for his help. However, our transaction ends here. I will handle the rest myself. There is no need to trouble Dr. Gu."

Gu Jingxiao wasn't surprised by this and smiled, "I guessed Mr. Xie would say that. No problem. But Mr. Xie can come to me anytime if he has any problems."

Xie Linyu saw his innocent and harmless appearance and knew that this guy was also good at pretending.

The two share an unspoken secret, and they don't need to pretend in private.

Gu Jingxiao walked to the French windows and looked at the scenery outside: "Could you tell me about the process by which Miss Lu Yao found out she was pregnant?"

Xie Linyu subconsciously looked up and saw that Gu Jingxiao's eyes were full of undisguised interest: "Why are you asking this? You'd better not have any other thoughts."

"Mr. Xie, it's not good for you to be so possessive of your food. Given Miss Lu Yao's current situation, I'm afraid not only me, but many people will have designs on her. A woman who can conceive naturally is an irresistible attraction for any family."

"Helping me is better than helping those unfamiliar, messy men outside. I consider Mr. Xie and I to be allies long ago."

Gu Jingxiao made no attempt to conceal his ulterior motives.

Xie Linyu hadn't expected that he had come with such a purpose.

"I will not join you in deceiving Lu Yao's feelings."

"Heh," Gu Jingxiao chuckled, as if he had heard some amusing joke, "Mr. Xie himself rose to power through deception, but you can't do that with me?"

Xie Linyu's face darkened, and he glared directly at Gu Jingxiao: "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"

"It's not that bad. Since I've taken Mr. Xie's money, I naturally won't do anything against the agreement. I originally thought that Mr. Xie and I had at least some connection, but it seems I was overthinking it. Well then, I won't trouble myself." Gu Jingxiao appeared to be very professional, but Xie Linyu knew very well that this guy was only innocent on the outside and had a dark side.

Watching Gu Jingxiao walk to the door, Xie Linyu stood up and said, "You'd better not do anything to hurt her, or I won't let you off the hook."

Gu Jingxiao turned to look at him and said, "Let me remind you, the person who is hurting her feelings is not me, but you, Xie Linyu. You'd better pray that the secret you're hiding will not be discovered one day. I believe that Miss Lu Yao is a person who clearly distinguishes between love and hate. She can accept you, and she can also let you go. As for me, I won't trouble Mr. Xie with my concerns. Goodbye."

After saying that, Gu Jingxiao didn't linger and opened the door to leave.

Xie Linyu turned around and kicked the sofa in frustration. Could this be considered as inviting a wolf into the house?

When Gu Jingxiao came downstairs, he saw Lu Yao and Fu Ciyan sitting on the sofa, looking at brochures. Noticing him, Lu Yao smiled, put down the brochure, and stood up, asking, "Dr. Gu, how is he?"

"It's still early, so we need to observe and stimulate him more. Let's see how he is after a month. If it doesn't work, we'll need to use equipment for assisted treatment." After saying that, Gu Jingxiao changed the subject, "But don't worry too much. I checked him, and Mr. Xie hasn't completely lost his function. His condition is much better, and there's hope for recovery."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's face broke into a genuine smile, clearly showing that she was genuinely worried about Xie Linyu.

"Are you shopping for things for the baby?" Gu Jingxiao asked, glancing at the brochure Lu Yao had placed on the table. "I have some good brands that do custom orders. If Miss Lu Yao is interested, I can recommend them to you."

"That's great." Because of the low birth rate in the Federation, all supplies related to infants and young children need to be specially made.

Lu Yao and Fu Ciyan were just choosing a brand for their custom-made product.

Gu Jingxiao is an expert in the field of reproduction, and he should have more and more reliable resources in this area. With his recommendation, Lu Yao was naturally very willing to accept it.

This is probably a mother's nature; even if the child comes suddenly, once the decision is made to stay, she wants to give them the best.

"I'll go back and organize it, then I'll put it on your terminal."

"Thank you so much, Dr. Gu."

"No need to be polite. As I said, it is my honor that you choose to trust me at this time. If there is any situation, please contact me at any time, General Fu. Pregnancy is very hard for pregnant women, especially Miss Lu Yao who is now pregnant with twins. I hope you will take good care of her. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Dr. Gu." Fu Ciyan humbly accepted Gu Jingxiao's instructions.

Gu Jingxiao didn't linger and left with his medicine box.

It was as if he had no other purpose in coming here, and was really just there to examine Lu Yao's body.

As Xie Linyu came downstairs, he caught a glimpse of Gu Jingxiao's departing figure. His gaze darkened. "I think we should hire a nutritionist specifically for Yaoyao, someone who understands prenatal care and such," he said.

Faced with Xie Linyu's suggestion, Fu Ciyan did not respond immediately, but instead looked at Lu Yao first.

Lu Yao shook her head and said, "I don't want to go through that trouble, and I don't think it's necessary right now. We can talk about it later if needed."

She never felt that just because she was pregnant, she had to be treated like a protected animal, needing someone to take care of her at all times.

That would be a bit uncomfortable for her.

"Let's listen to Yaoyao." Fu Ciyan didn't force her when he saw that she was unwilling.

Xie Linyu responded and said no more. He thought that although Gu Jingxiao had ulterior motives towards Lu Yao, he couldn't always be in front of her. Moreover, given Lu Yao's slowness in understanding relationships, as long as Gu Jingxiao didn't express himself clearly, Lu Yao would probably only see him as a doctor.

Gu Jingxiao may have a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but in the end, it will all be for nothing.

After all, he had caused quite a bit of trouble back then, and Lu Yao had always treated him as a friend, which he knew all too well.

"Dr. Gu just told us that your condition is alright and the chances of recovery are high." Lu Yao suddenly said this, which made Xie Linyu's heart tighten. When he met her smiling eyes, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Gu Jingxiao to say this. What did he mean? He was speaking up for him after rejecting him?

Do you want to win people's hearts?

"Yeah, I know. Don't worry about me now. Taking good care of yourself during your pregnancy is the most important thing." Xie Linyu tugged at the corner of his lips, trying to make himself look as natural as possible.

But faced with Lu Yao's concern, he found himself feeling more ashamed than happy.
