Chapter 1893: Pan Shi's Dewy Affection

"Nothing is impossible." At this point, Pan Shi had thrown caution to the wind. Her voice gradually calmed as she continued, "Your Excellency, after I married Chen Bing, I was unable to conceive for a long time. Both Chen Bing and I were anxious. After three years, Chen Bing suspected that I couldn't bear children and started considering taking a concubine."

Not only did he entertain the thought, but Chen Bing also took action.

However, he acted secretly. During that time, he grew close to a girl, but Pan Shi discovered it.

Unlike Grandma Fang, Pan Shi had a stronger personality, and her family was more influential. With the support of her eldest brother-in-law, the Pan family had gradually become wealthier and even purchased a second store.

Compared to the Pan family, Chen Bing was an outsider with no background.

So, despite feeling that three years without results were unfair to her family, Chen Bing ultimately dared not do anything.

Afterward, Pan Shi became more watchful of Chen Bing's actions. She, too, was anxious about not bearing children. She secretly consulted several doctors, all of whom said she was fine, and it might just be a matter of fate.

Then a doctor with a more progressive perspective suggested that fertility was a joint effort between husband and wife. If the wife had no issues, the problem might lie with the husband.

Pan Shi began to have doubts. She thought of Chen Bing's previous wife, who also couldn't conceive for a long time.

The more she thought about it, the more she believed it was Chen Bing's issue.

But outsiders didn't think this way. They would blame the woman's "incompetence" when it came to having children. Even her family said as much, and Chen Bing wouldn't admit it.

If she divorced Chen Bing over this issue, she would have trouble remarrying in the future.

Unable to divorce and unable to have children, Chen Bing might even take this opportunity to marry another woman. Pan Shi was caught in various imaginative crises and became increasingly confused. Gradually, her behavior began to deviate.

At this time, when someone offered her comfort and care, Pan Shi made a mistake.

Little did she know that a month later, she was pregnant. Pan Shi finally confirmed that Chen Bing was infertile.

Upon learning of his wife's pregnancy, Chen Bing was extremely excited. He showered her with all sorts of good things, even purchasing a maid to attend to her.

Pan Shi successfully gave birth to Chen He, whom Chen Bing doted on.

With a son, Pan Shi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that after having a son, Chen Bing would settle down and they would lead a peaceful life, treating the past as a dream.

Little did she know that when their son grew a few years older, Chen Bing's ambitions were rekindled. He wanted to engage in more business ventures.

Using the excuse of saving up for their son's future and betrothal gifts, he often visited the city to seek help from Pan's family.

Occasionally, Pan Shi accompanied him. During those visits, the man who seemed like just a passing fancy in her life seemed to grow warm once again.

However, due to Chen Bing's presence, they didn't dare be too open. At most, they exchanged words and conversations in secret, but nothing more.

It wasn't until sixteen years ago, when Chen Bing's various business ventures failed, that Pan's father became angry with him. He refused to lend him more money and didn't want to see him anymore. This finally forced Chen Bing to calm down.

However, he still owed a debt at that time, and creditors were knocking on his door. With no other option, Chen Bing sent Pan Shi and their son to the city to visit her father, hoping that her father would extend a helping hand for the sake of his daughter and grandson.

It was during that visit that Pan Shi became pregnant with their second child.

The listeners were left astounded by the narrative. Pan Shi... had shown an astonishing lack of shame.
