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

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

Nan Zhi's hand ached from being squeezed, and she understood what he meant: "I...I don't...I don't want you to go..."

Jin Si Nian then released her hand with satisfaction: "Well, then I'll listen to Zhi Zhi and not go."

What's this? Trying to find a reason to refuse her.

Seek a sense of control from her.

"What's this?" Jin Nian asked, glancing at the documents on the table and casually picking one up.

Nan Zhi looked at the thing in his hand, her breath catching in her throat: "No, it's nothing."

"You don't need to worry about it."

He opened it anyway, and after a moment chuckled with a hint of sarcasm: "Zhizhi, your brother is a little clever, but not much."

"You dare to hand me a proposal like this? You're just brainless."

Nan Zhi sat in front of the dressing table, her expression calm and composed, showing no sign of embarrassment.

The one being mocked is Nan Yu, not her. She has no sense of belonging to this family and no sense of collective honor.

Naturally, no one felt that Jin Si Nian's words were directed at them in any way.

Jin Si Nian closed the document, looked up at her, his eyes filled with complete indulgence, as if he didn't care about losing millions: "Zhi Zhi, you want me to sign?"

He was willing to sign the deal even if it resulted in a complete loss, as long as she agreed, just to prevent the Nan family from making things difficult for her.

Nan Zhi reached out and snatched the document from his hand, hugging it to her chest, and firmly changed the subject: "This...you don't need to worry about this."

Jin Si Nian understood. Zhi Zhi didn't intend for him to sign, nor did she intend for him to help the Nan family. In fact, if he hadn't come to the Nan family, he wouldn't have seen this at all.

He slowly walked around behind her, his warm, large hand gently cupping her chin, his fingertips caressing it lightly as if handling a meticulously sculpted work of art. His voice was deep and seductive: "Zhizhi, how can I explain this to them if I don't sign it?"

In the past, he had given the Nan family many benefits because of her, and this time, he was still willing to compromise for her.

Before Nan Zhi could speak, he leaned down slightly, his thin lips landing on her smooth nape, kissing lightly down her neck to her collarbone, with suppressed tenderness and possessiveness.

Nan Zhi trembled, instinctively turning her head away, her fingers clenching tightly, her heart pounding out of control.

The next second, she was lifted up by his strong arms and pulled into his embrace. Nan Zhi panicked and stammered, trying to push him away: "I...I..."

Jin Si Nian paused, raised his eyes in displeasure, his brows furrowed, and a long-suppressed desire surging in his eyes. His tone carried a hint of frustrated helplessness: "What excuse is Zhi Zhi trying to come up with this time?"

"I want to eat!" The man's eyes were dark, his heart full of frustration but he couldn't bear to force her, so he could only stare at her intently, his Adam's apple bobbing as he suppressed the undisguised desire in his eyes.

He's no different from a monk now.

Nan Zhi pressed down on his hand: "I, I, I'm on my period, it's not over yet."

That's all she could say. She had originally thought this was a quieter place, like the Nan family's annual meeting with Kings.

However, he did not restrain himself.

"I remember my baby's menstrual cycle very clearly. It's seven days, and it's the eighth day now. It's okay to have sex..."

Nan Zhi was picked up by the man and his mouth was covered. "Aren't you ashamed to be heard talking so loudly?"

No, that won't do.

"No, it's not completely clear."

Kingswin placed her on the bed and reached for her pants: "Let me check!"

It was a lie, and Nan Zhi naturally wouldn't agree, pulling at her pants in refusal: "No, don't..."

That was very embarrassing.

"Child, look at me!"

"You didn't lie to me, you didn't hide from me, right?" Kings asked as he released his grip.

"No, no," Nan Zhi answered timidly.

Kings left, went into the bathroom, and the door closed.

On the sink were Nan Zhi's clothes, her skirt and underwear, and a man's hand hooked up...

A moment later, soft, suggestive moans came from the bathroom.

With a gurgling sound, the tap was turned on.

Jin Si Nian rubbed her underwear with his palms, thinking that he had dirtied it and that it needed to be washed so that Zhi Zhi wouldn't notice.

Ten minutes later, Kings came out naked. There were pajamas that Zhizhi could fit into, but not his.

He could only come out wrapped in a bath towel.

Nan Zhi was already lying in bed. She glanced at him when he came out, then quickly looked away, but he was carrying her...

"You, you washed again."

"What...what should I wear tomorrow?"

Kingsfield hung it up: "Buy a new one."

"Use the black card I gave you."

But he washed all her skirts.

What should I wear tomorrow? None of the clothes in my closet seem right.

Nan Zhi looked at her skirt, which had been blown off by the wind, on the balcony, wondering if it would dry by tomorrow.

The man lifted the covers and got into bed. Nan Zhi immediately shrank back to the inside of the bed, and the two were separated by a great distance, as if an entire galaxy stretched between them, showing no intention of getting close at all.

What's this? Put the bed together!

Left with no other choice, he could only lean closer, stretch out his long arm, and gently pull her into his embrace from behind. His warm breath brushed against her ear as he whispered, "Zhizhi, your period should be over by tomorrow, right?"

Nan Zhi stiffened, quickly shook her head, and stammered in refusal, "I...I won't go back tomorrow."

She was secretly planning to stay at the Nan family's house for a few more days.

Kings won't stay much longer.

Because sons-in-law all over the world don't like to stay at their mothers-in-law's house for long; they'll clamor to go back after just one night.

He probably feels the same way.

Although her situation was somewhat different from Jin Si Nian's—they hadn't registered their marriage, he wasn't considered a son-in-law of the Nan family, and this wasn't her maternal home—this place was still her family home.

Upon hearing this, Jin Si Nian frowned slightly, his fingers tightening a little, and his tone carried a hint of barely perceptible doubt: "Zhi Zhi, when did you become so close to the people here?"

He knew that Zhizhi and the Nan family had always been distant and should be no different from strangers, so it was too abnormal for her to stay at the Nan family this time.

Nan Zhi buried her face in the pillow, her voice muffled, but she didn't lie: "They said they'd let me stay for two days."

They did indeed ask her to stay, and everything she said was true.

Jin Si Nian stared at her tense profile, seeing right through her thoughts, and asked with certainty, "The Nan family has invited you to stay before, so why have you never agreed to stay overnight?"

The man had his arm around her waist; the last time they visited the Nan family, they hadn't asked to stay.

Every time, Zhizhi refused to stay, and after eating, she would leave without even sitting for a while.

Why is this happening so strangely?

Could it be because of that proposal that Zhizhi was allowed to stay?

I want him to sign...

Looking at the man so close to her, Nan Zhi mustered her courage and spoke the words that had been hidden in her heart, her tone tentative and cautious: "If you... if you don't want to stay... you can leave."

"It's okay~"

Jin Si Nian's eyes darkened instantly, his aura plummeted, and his grip on her waist tightened involuntarily. His voice turned cold: "Are you trying to get rid of me?"

She's here, so where else can I go?

Go back to living alone in an empty house?

Nan Zhi sensed the anger and something was wrong in his tone, and panicked. She immediately backed down and quickly changed her words in a low voice: "N-Never mind, I didn't say anything."
