Chapter 155: Chapter 92: An Embarrassing Examination
The doctor said, "Lift up your dress."
The doctor continued, "Your husband’s handiwork is pretty impressive. Your abs have recovered nicely. No issues here."
Jiang Wanyi replied, "He’s the one who’s been doing it all for me at home."
The doctor said, "You’ve got good taste. That’s the kind of reliable man you want for a husband."
Jiang Wanyi mumbled, "Mmm-hmm..."
"Now I’m going to do the pelvic floor exam. Relax, it won’t hurt. Take off your stockings and underwear."
"Er..."
Jiang Wanyi’s body went rigid. Although a curtain separated them, the fabric was so thin she could vaguely make out Chen Yuan’s silhouette from behind it.
Chen Yuan, standing on the other side of the curtain, felt the awkwardness and embarrassment too.
Even though both involved private areas, helping her lactate and *this* were on two completely different levels. They couldn’t even be compared.
It was like those risqué streamers on TikTok. They might dare to show off their chest, but they’d never dare expose anything down below.
He had wanted to step out earlier precisely to avoid this kind of situation and the resulting awkwardness.
It was just tough on Jiang Wanyi, who had never had this type of exam before and had no idea what the procedure involved.
"Why are you blushing? That’s your husband out there, not a stranger. What’s there to be shy about?" the doctor teased with a laugh.
"Don’t be all bashful like some young girl. Don’t embarrass us mature women. Cooperate with me."
"Okay..."
Even with the curtain in the way, Chen Yuan didn’t dare to look. He turned his face toward the door.
The examination room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Even the faint rustle of clothes being removed was clearly audible.
"Have you had surgery?" the doctor asked.
"No, it was a natural birth," Jiang Wanyi replied quietly, her voice obviously tense.
"I don’t mean that. It’s just... you’re very pretty down there. If you haven’t had any cosmetic surgery, it’s rare to see someone who looks like this naturally."
"N-no, I haven’t..."
"No wonder your husband learned postpartum care for you. He was clearly doing it for his own enjoyment, too. Your sex life must be pretty good, huh?"
"It’s... good..."
Jiang Wanyi’s face was as red as a furnace. Her mind went blank, and she felt like she’d lost control of her own body.
"Looking the way you do, if your sex life *isn’t* good, then there’s something wrong with your husband."
The doctor chatted with Jiang Wanyi as if they were just gossiping, paying no mind to Chen Yuan whatsoever.
They were a married couple, after all, and their child was already nine months old. There was no need for such formalities.
"Next is the manual exam. Don’t be nervous; the more you tense up, the more it’ll hurt. With other patients, I usually go straight to the machine, but I can tell you’re well-spoken and educated, so I added this step for you."
"Thank you, Doctor."
She had never had a pelvic floor exam, but she had undergone a manual exam before, so she knew the procedure. Her heart was pounding with apprehension and nervousness.
The root of her anxiety was Chen Yuan’s presence in the room. If he had been outside, she wouldn’t have felt this way.
"Ah—!"
She let out a sudden cry, but it stopped as quickly as it started. It was followed by the sound of her tense, rapid breathing as she tried to endure it.
"Don’t be nervous. Take a deep breath..."
"Slow your breathing..."
"You’re like you haven’t even had a baby. Most girls in their early twenties are about the same as you."
"Hold on, don’t move. I’m going to get the probe."
The doctor emerged from behind the curtain, went to a cabinet, and took out a white probe.
It was white all over, with two metallic rings of different colors, and was shaped vaguely like half a sausage.
Returning behind the curtain, the doctor began the procedure.
"Just so you know, this is a single-use item. We throw it away after we’re done; we never reuse them, so you don’t have to worry about that. The 260 you just paid was for this."
"I know."
"Try not to be nervous. If you’re tense, the readings won’t be accurate, and you’ll have wasted your money."
"I know..."
"Ah—!"
Another sudden cry. Chen Yuan could imagine what was happening behind the curtain.
After that, the doctor didn’t need to do much; the machine provided prompts for the rest of the process.
Tighten... Relax...
The entire process lasted about seven or eight minutes.
"Alright, you can get up and get dressed now."
Behind the curtain, Jiang Wanyi got up and started dressing. At the same time, the report printed out.
"See? I told you. Even girls in their early twenties aren’t in as good shape as you. A score of 98! I haven’t seen a score this high in years."
As Jiang Wanyi was dressing inside, the doctor came out holding the report and said with a smile:
"You can go home and celebrate. You’ve married a real gem."
"Yes, yes, of course..." Chen Yuan replied, awkward but polite.
Jiang Wanyi emerged, the blush on her face still visible.
"Everything looks great, so no need to worry."
"Understood. Doctor, we’ll be going now..."
"Go on."
The two left the examination room like a pair of emotionless machines, walking robotically toward the elevators.
Inside the elevator, neither of them spoke. They just let the silence hang thick and heavy in the air.
When they stepped out of the clinic building, a cool breeze brushed against their faces. The sun was pleasant, and the fluffy white clouds looked like cotton candy.
Everything seemed perfect—except for Jiang Wanyi.
"Are... are you hungry? Do you want to go get something to eat...?" Jiang Wanyi ventured, breaking the silence.
"Didn’t you pack something?"
"I forgot about that..."
"I’m not hungry yet..."
"Let’s just go play with the baby for now..."
"Okay..."
Their dialogue was stilted and mechanical, like a conversation between two AI assistants.
Back in the car, they buckled their seatbelts. Jiang Wanyi took a deep breath, the blush on her face having faded considerably. Neither of them spoke.
The car moved through the bustling streets, filled with all sorts of vehicles and all kinds of people.
Everyone has their own secrets, just like Chen Yuan and Jiang Wanyi.
And now, they shared one more secret that could never be spoken of.
