Here is the English translation:
"Your godfather has azoospermia. He’ll never be able to have children in this lifeti."
Hearing this, Chen Bin’s eyes widened in shock.
He had never expected that not only was Wang Jun suffering from kidney deficiency, but he also had this illness.
Zhao Xini must have had horrible luck marrying him!
"Mom, does this an I’ll never have any younger siblings?"
Sighing, Zhao Xini reluctantly nodded.
"When your godfather was diagnosed with this illness, I felt pity initially. But looking at you now, I suddenly think not having any kids might actually be a blessing."
Hearing her bring up that incident again, Chen Bin felt nothing but regret.
He understood well that Zhao Xini was a dignified woman with imnse inner strength.
As long as he didn’t talk about that matter, ti would eventually heal it.
But poking at a wound repeatedly could only make things worse.
In the following monts, the two exchanged a few casual words.
Most of the conversation was about work.
When Zhao Xini heard that Chen Bin was assisting Wang Jun in vying for the secretary of the County Committee in Qingshi County, she seed genuinely pleased.
Without realizing it, her relationship with Chen Bin beca sowhat closer.
Night descended.
Chen Bin ordered two takeout als using his phone.
After they finished eating, Zhao Xini took out her phone to scroll through ssages.
Eventually, she couldn’t hold back and asked, "Have you told your godfather about my surgery?"
"No! He’s currently at a pivotal stage in his promotion, so I didn’t dare to bring it up."
"I’m in excruciating pain here, and he’s still thinking about being an official!"
She complained bitterly before preparing to call Wang Jun.
Seeing this, Chen Bin felt deeply troubled.
"Mom, do you really dislike that much? I can take good care of you."
"You’re just a young boy. What do you know about caregiving?"
Though her face was filled with doubt, Zhao Xini still slowly placed her phone down.
It wasn’t that she particularly wanted Wang Jun to look after her; the issue was simply that being alone with Chen Bin reminded her of that particular night.
For the past week, she had been alone at ho.
Whenever the loneliness beca unbearable at night, scenes of Chen Bin pressing down on her would replay in her mind.
That commanding, imposing image made her irresistibly drawn to him.
Yet Zhao Xini understood that nothing could ever happen between her and Chen Bin again.
If it did, the consequences would surely be unbearable.
Thus, whenever she faced Chen Bin again, she deliberately put on a cold deanor.
Her goal was to clearly define boundaries.
While Zhao Xini was lost in thought, Chen Bin spoke up.
"Don’t worry, though I may not be as professional as a caregiver, I can still handle taking care of you."
"Well... alright."
She nodded, ultimately agreeing to Chen Bin’s suggestion.
After all, they were in a hospital, and surely he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
Moreover, Wang Jun had been preparing for his promotion for three whole years.
Calling him back now would indeed feel selfish.
Noticing that his godmother’s resistance to him had noticeably lessened, Chen Bin felt quite delighted.
He couldn’t help but break into a smile.
Seeing this, Zhao Xini coldly asked, "What’s so funny?"
Without hesitation, Chen Bin quickly made up an excuse.
"I’m thinking about working hard and being a great official soday, so I can take good care of you and godfather."
With a slight nod, Zhao Xini’s expression softened just a bit.
Seeing her change in mood, Chen Bin imdiately tried to get closer.
"Mom, what kind of official do you think I can beco in the future?"
Looking at Chen Bin’s eager gaze, Zhao Xini pressed her lips together slightly.
The beauty mark on her lips trembled delicately, making her appear strikingly seductive.
"What kind of official do you think you can be?"
"I think godfather is already amazing. I plan to follow in his footsteps."
Rolling her eyes, Zhao Xini responded crossly.
"Such lack of ambition! Do you actually think his position is that impressive?"
Realizing her tone was unkind, Chen Bin hurriedly corrected himself.
"Well... what I ant was to aim for his height first, and after that, set new goals."
"That’s better. Ambitious, just like my son!"
At this point, Zhao Xini finally bead with delight.
"Really? You have that much confidence in ?"
As she spoke, Chen Bin proactively grasped Zhao Xini’s delicate hand.
The contact made her heart jolt, as suppressed desires began surging uncontrollably.
She swiftly pulled her hand away and sharply scolded, "Let go of !"
Faced with her stark rejection, Chen Bin quickly began apologizing.
"Mom, I was just overco with emotion for a mont, I’m really sorry..."
Zhao Xini said nothing but turned her head aside.
Since the hospital room housed only the two of them, the atmosphere quickly descended into a tense silence.
Worried about saying more and risking upsetting her further, Chen Bin opted to stay quiet and sit off to the side.
After a long while, Zhao Xini finally sighed lightly.
"I’m feeling a bit sleepy. There’s an extra bed here; make do with that."
Saying this, she turned her back to Chen Bin and silently closed her eyes.
Sitting beside Zhao Xini, catching hints of her alluring fragrance, Chen Bin felt utterly entranced.
But deep down, he knew he had to behave well and avoid any reckless actions.
If he crossed the line, his godmother might sever ties with him completely.
The next morning.
After buying breakfast, Chen Bin returned to the hospital room to see Zhao Xini sitting excitedly on the hospital bed.
"Xiao Bin, co here! I have fantastic news!"
"What fantastic news?"
Putting down the porridge on the bedside table, Chen Bin looked puzzled.
If it had gotten Zhao Xini this excited, it couldn’t be a small matter.
"Your godfather’s promotion is confird! He just called, and the city leaders agreed with Secretary Li’s recomndation for him to take over."
Nodding slightly, Chen Bin looked a bit startled.
Indeed, Secretary Li’s efficiency in handling matters was impressive!
Luckily, Wang Jun had been convinced to deliver gifts early enough.
Had it been delayed further, they might’ve missed their chance entirely.
While he pondered, Zhao Xini continued speaking.
"Xiao Bin, although your godfather is now secretary of the County Committee, you must make sure not to slack off."
"Why?"
"New officials bring new initiatives. Since your godfather is now in charge, he must deliver results. Otherwise, without actual skills, it won’t work."
Nodding, Chen Bin felt her words made sense.
She added, "Your godfather spoke highly of you during his call. He said you were the key to his promotion. In the future, you need to support him in Qingshi County."
Hearing this, Chen Bin sighed inwardly.
Zhao Xini was truly remarkable.
Not only was she stunning, but she was also a capable and supportive wife.
No matter the situation, her thoughts were always with her husband.
If soone could marry such a woman, they’d surely be blessed beyond imagination!
With a long sigh, Chen Bin felt a pang of regret.
However, he responded calmly as if nothing were unusual.
"Mom, don’t worry. From now on, godfather will be my pillar. Even for my own sake, I’ll give him my full support."
"Good. Hearing that puts my mind at ease!"
She gently stroked Chen Bin’s head, her face glowing with a long-lost maternal warmth.
Not long after they finished eating, Wang Jun hurried into the hospital room.
After checking on Zhao Xini’s health, he turned excitedly to Chen Bin.
"Xiao Bin, it’s all thanks to you this ti! Tell —what reward do you want? As long as it’s doable, I’ll make it happen for you!"
Hearing this, Chen Bin instinctively glanced at Zhao Xini.
Then, looking back at Wang Jun, he countered with a question of his own: "Anything at all?"
