Your Highness, your wife doesn't want you anymore!

Jin Si knelt by the bed, holding her palm tightly, confirming again and again: "Zhi Zhi, you like me."

With her secret exposed, Nan Zhi's cheeks burned, and she whispered in protest, "It's just... just a little bit of liking."

Jin Si Nian shook his head earnestly, his tone stubborn and serious: "A little bit of liking doesn't count as liking!"

Nan Zhi sighed softly and withdrew her hand without making a sound.

Jin Si Nian was completely confused and frowned: "What's wrong? We like each other, what's wrong with holding hands?"

"I...I have something to ask you."

Jin Si Nian reached out and pulled her close, kissing her lips once more, and replied, "Yes, ask away."

Looking at his still reddened eyes, Nan Zhi finally spoke up after struggling with the question all day: "That thing you were chatting about with Fu... Fu Ting today, is it true?"

Jin Si Nian's eyes instinctively darted away, feigning ignorance: "What is it?"

"It's about you, about you deliberately puncturing... puncturing the condom," Nan Zhi said frankly and directly.

Jin Nian lowered his head, trying to deny it: "I didn't."

"I...I heard everything. Are you still going to keep lying to me?" Nan Zhi's eyes flashed with anger. "I...I specifically asked you about it before."

He denied it, saying he hadn't done it.

She had suspected it before.

Jin Nian could no longer hide it and had no choice but to admit defeat in a low voice: "Okay, I admit it, I did it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Zhi abruptly shook off his hand, shrank deep into the blankets, turned her back to him, and refused to look at him anymore.

"Ugh!"

Jin Si Nian went around to the other side of the bed, squatted down beside it, and said aggrievedly, "If I admit it, you'll be angry; if I don't, you'll be even angrier. I'm wrong no matter what."

He muttered under his breath, "It's all Fu Ting's fault for having such a big mouth, insisting on bringing up old stories."

He reached out and grabbed the corner of the blanket, hurriedly explaining, "I only did it secretly once, the one before I went on that business trip, I swear."

"I originally thought the probability was very low, and I only poked it lightly. I never thought I would get infected on the first try."

Nan Zhi turned around and stared at him. Just by looking at his evasive expression, she knew he wasn't telling the truth.

As Kings's voice grew weaker, he changed his tune: "Okay, two strokes."

Her eyes widened; Jin Nian's guilty conscience meant he hadn't just poked her twice.

Faced with Nan Zhi's scrutinizing gaze, he completely surrendered, hanging his head and confessing, "...Three times, okay, the condom is almost riddled with holes from all the poking."

He had done his research and knew that getting pregnant was not an easy thing, so he planned to take it slowly and gradually get her to accept him.

However, after returning from her business trip, Nan Zhi deliberately distanced herself from him and refused to let him get close. Not long after, he learned that she was pregnant.

Jin Si Nian looked at her, his voice trembling with unease: "Zhi Zhi, if you hadn't gotten pregnant that time, would you have packed your things and left me long ago?"

Even with a baby, doesn't she still want to leave?

Nan Zhi remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Upon seeing this affirmative answer, Jin Si Nian's heart sank, filled with bitterness and dejection: "I knew it, the main reason you stayed by my side was because of these two children."

Zhizhi had thought about having two children in one home, and he wanted to be Zhizhi's home...

Jin Si Nian's tone was filled with deep regret as he carefully coaxed, "Can you please not be angry with me? I know I went too far."

"But you've always been unwilling to stay, and you still aren't in your heart now..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nan Zhi pulled the blanket over her entire face, clearly indicating that she didn't want to hear any more.

Jin Si Nian felt flustered and helpless, and pleaded softly, "When will you finally calm down?"

"Don't be cold to me like before. It's not good for you or the baby in your belly."

"Please don't completely ignore me, okay?"

Nan Zhi remained buried under the covers, silent. Jin Si Nian panicked completely, reaching out to pull back the covers: "I beg you, even if you're angry, give me a deadline."

"I'm waiting aimlessly, it's agonizing."

"You can curse me, hit me, take revenge on me however you want,"

He added a clause as an emergency tactic: "The only thing I will absolutely not agree to is a divorce."

"Childish"

"Chirpy~"

He called her name softly over and over again, reaching his hand under the covers, intending to crawl in next to her.

Nan Zhi pushed his hand away, lifted the blanket, and said, word by word, "We are not allowed to see each other or speak for three or three days."

Jin Si Nian's face instantly darkened, and he said, "If you want me dead, just say so!"

He couldn't bear being away from me for even a short while; being cut off from contact for three whole days was like taking his life.

It would be more practical to just give him a quick, decisive cut.

Nan Zhi pretended to turn around: "If you... don't agree, then forget it."

Jin Si Nian immediately rolled onto the bed, pulling her tightly into his arms from behind, his tone full of helplessness and obsession: "This punishment is too harsh. I'd rather you just stab me."

"I'm serious, I really can't stand not seeing you or talking to you for three days."

Without a doubt, Jin Nian really wanted to get stabbed.

Nan Zhi reached out and pushed him away, saying seriously, "Then...then you can sleep on the sofa tonight."

Jin Si Nian instinctively wanted to refuse, but before he could finish his rebuttal, Nan Zhi interrupted him.

"Your choice: either sleep on the sofa, or you're not allowed to see or speak to each other for three whole days."

Jin Si Nian moved closer to the bedside and rubbed against her arm, looking aggrieved. "Zhi Zhi, can I not choose either of them?"

"Or should we add option C?"

"No, there's no other choice. If you can't decide, I'll make it up for you. We won't see each other for three days..."

"No, no, no, I choose to sleep on the sofa, okay?" Jin Si Nian immediately compromised, hugging his pillow and getting off the bed reluctantly.

"You're not allowed to cheat," Nan Zhi instructed. "If you dare to sneak into my bed in the middle of the night, the punishment will be changed to three days of no talking to each other."

"I understand." Jin Si Nian lay on the living room sofa, hugging a pillow, his gaze still fixed on the person on the bed. He couldn't help but ask, "Zhi Zhi, isn't it lonely lying in such a big bed all by yourself?"

"If you feel it's too lonely, I can..."

"Don't speak," Nan Zhi said coldly, stopping him.

Jin Si Nian sat up abruptly and argued righteously, "Didn't you just say I can't talk to you just because you said you were sleeping on the sofa?"

"Add it now."

Jin Si Nian curled up on the sofa, his lips pursed, tossing and turning without any sleepiness. The empty living room was eerily quiet. He couldn't help but whisper an explanation towards the bedroom.

"Child, I didn't drink today, I just sat in the private room for a while. The smell of alcohol on me came from other people."

"Don't rush me to go out drinking and socializing anymore. I'll just refuse them and tell them I'm not allowed to go out drinking."

He called her name repeatedly in a drawn-out tone: "Zhizhi~"

From inside the bedroom came Nan Zhi's cold voice, "Don't speak."

Jin Nian leaned back on the sofa and argued, "I wasn't talking to you; I was just talking to myself, which isn't against the rules."

He's gotten used to being lazy...
