Inside the car, Jin Si Nian stared at his phone, his eyes glued to the chat window with Zhi Zhi.

I didn't reply, and I don't know what I've been up to.

However, it is certain that Zhizhi did not go back.

The home security cameras didn't capture anyone; the house was completely dark.

Is Zhizhi planning to stay at her parents' house since she hasn't gone home yet?

No, that shouldn't be Zhizhi's maternal family, it should be her enemies.

The man sent Nan Zhi another message: 【Has Zhizhi not gone back yet?】

I'm now at the Nan family's house.

Nan Zhi had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. She raised her hand to dry her wet hair. The clock on the wall showed that it was just past eight o'clock in the evening.

The sound of a door opening suddenly came from downstairs, instantly breaking the silence of the Nan family's living room.

In the living room, Nan Jianhai, Nan Yu, and Lin Wan were sitting on the sofa. Upon hearing the sound, all three of them looked surprised and quickly stood up, their bodies instinctively stiffening and full of restraint.

"Mr. Jin," Nan Jianhai stammered, instinctively wanting to call him son-in-law, but swallowing the words back.

He knew perfectly well that Nan Zhi and Jin Si Nian had never registered their marriage, so they weren't a proper couple and he couldn't be called a son-in-law.

He can only be considered a future son-in-law.

"Why did you suddenly come here?" Nan Jianhai hurriedly stepped forward, trying to strike up a conversation with a big smile, but his heart was full of doubt.

Nan Zhiming clearly said that Jin Sinian had something to do and couldn't come for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so why did he suddenly come to the Nan family in the middle of the night?

Jin Si Nian's cold gaze swept across the living room, but he couldn't find the person he was looking for. He frowned slightly and asked directly, "Where is she?"

Before Nan Jianhai could reply, Nan Yu immediately spoke up, his tone respectful and ingratiating: "It's upstairs, the second room in the corridor."

Nan Yu was secretly delighted. Jin Si Nian had actually come to her on his own initiative. Her sister had to step up and find a way to get Jin Si Nian to sign that proposal tonight!

Jin Si Nian didn't say another word. He strode straight towards the stairwell, went upstairs, and headed towards Nan Zhi's room.

The three people downstairs looked at each other, realizing that it was the right decision to let Nan Zhi stay today.

Upstairs, when Jin Si Nian opened the door, he saw Nan Zhi drying her hair.

Nan Zhi stared at him in surprise, her eyes widening instantly.

Why is he here? Shouldn't he be staying at the old house on this special day?

It can last for thousands of days, but it can't last for today!

"You, you, how did you get here?" Nan Zhi asked, her hand that was wiping her hair falling down.

Jinsin came up a little hastily, his breathing a little heavy. He took the initiative to walk to her side and took the towel from her hand: "I'll wipe Zhizhi down."

The man pushed her to sit down and asked casually, "Why didn't you reply to my messages? Didn't you see them?"

He has so many bad habits, he really needs to change them.

He messaged her again, but she genuinely didn't see it: "Yeah, I'm taking a shower."

Okay, I guess the "childish" excuse is barely acceptable to him.

"Why did Zhizhi decide to come back here, and even plan to stay?"

She's already taken a shower and plans to stay here tonight.

"I remember that Zhizhi didn't really want to come back for holidays like Chinese New Year, let alone stay here."

Jin Nian wanted to take the people back, knowing that Zhi Zhi's period had ended.

He wanted it now, but he couldn't use it here.

And it will make quite a commotion, then Zhizhi will probably ignore him again.

Looking at herself and the man in the mirror, Nan Zhi knew what Jin Si Nian was planning, but she had come here to prevent him from doing that kind of thing to her, so naturally she wouldn't go back.

"They told me to stay."

"Didn't you... go back to the old house?"

"W-Why are you here again?"

The male lead was completely taken aback; this man shouldn't have been part of her original plan to avoid trouble.

Jin Si Nian's eyes suddenly darkened. His movements were gentle yet deliberate as he wiped her wet hair. He said in a deep voice, "Zhi Zhi, my mother has arranged another blind date for me. She wants me to meet other young ladies from prominent families."

As the man spoke, he discreetly observed her expression through the mirror, his gaze fixed on her face.

His child is very handsome, with fair skin, cherry lips, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that always seem to smile at everyone. In particular, he has a beauty mark under his eye.

Jin Si Nian didn't miss any subtle expression on Nan Zhi's face, hoping to see dissatisfaction or jealousy in her eyes, or even the slightest abnormality.

As long as she's willing to be jealous and express that she has feelings for him, he can take the opportunity to propose getting a marriage certificate, thus solidifying their relationship, and everything will fall into place naturally.

To his disappointment, Nan Zhi simply replied with a single word, "Oh," in a calm and indifferent tone.

"Oh?"

Jin Si Nian was instantly taken aback. His hand unconsciously tightened as he dried his hair, a surge of anger and bitterness welling up inside him. He said in a low voice, "Zhi Zhi, don't you have anything else to say?"

"Aren't you angry at all?"

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, he felt both angry and bitter.

Nan Zhi was stunned for a moment, filled with doubt.

Angry? Why would she be angry?

From the very beginning, she was clear about her identity, always kept her position in check, and never had any improper thoughts.

She knew that after she left, Kings would eventually marry a daughter from a prominent family of equal social standing; it was inevitable.

But looking at his obviously darkened face, it was clear that he was really angry.

Nan Zhi didn't want to cause trouble, so she could only manage a perfunctory reply, her tone soft and sweet but utterly insincere: "It's...it's alright."

well enough!

What kind of answer is this?

What do you mean by "alright"?

Well, how should I explain it? Just these three words.

Jin Nian sighed heavily: "That's it?"

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Are you angry?

Are you jealous?

Oh, I forgot, Zhizhi never got angry and asked her about it.

Even a few days ago when he was a bit extreme and wouldn't let Zhizhi go out, she only asked him casually, and then protested by refusing to eat or talk to him.

Ha, not talking to him is his Achilles' heel.

Zhizhi knew how to manipulate him, so her not doing that meant she didn't care at all.

Nan Zhi looked at him through the mirror and wanted to say, "I wish you happiness."

But it seems like if she said that, Kings could hit her any second.

She still didn't say, "Mrs. Jin's eyesight and judgment are never bad..."

Needless to say, the family that Mrs. Jin favored came from a prominent family.

Although in S City, no one can compare to the Jin family.

However, if Madam Jin has taken a liking to him, he must be quite good.

Hearing this, Jin Si Nian was still angry: "Does Zhi Zhi mean I should go?"

What should I do? He's still angry.

What exactly is the correct answer?

The man squeezed her hand: "I never knew Zhizhi could be so generous, watching her own man go on blind dates with other women."
