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

"Never mind, never mind."

Jin Nian pinched her chin and said seriously, "Zhi Zhi, I think you've changed."

He changed after he came back from this business trip; he's not the same anymore.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed, because Zhizhi was behaving the same as before.

But the feeling has changed.

It's just different now.

Nan Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she stammered, "Yes, yes?"

"Where, where..."

Jin Nian couldn't answer, and could only hug her tightly and mutter, "Bad woman."

The next day, Nan Zhi and Jin Si Nian woke up very early.

They were actually having trouble sleeping in the same bed for both days, and didn't sleep well last night.

When Nan Zhicai moved in with Jin Sinian before, she couldn't sleep in the same bed and woke up early.

This is a situation where there's no other way; after sleeping in the same bed for a while, you might not be able to accept it anymore.

The man held her hand and hugged her: "It's only a little past seven, why don't you let Zhizhi take a nap?"

Nan Zhi shook her head, looked at him and asked, "Are you... are you going home today?"

He wasn't originally part of the plan, but his arrival completely disrupted everything.

The Nan family didn't even know how to be so attentive.

She hopes that Kings will leave.

Jin Si Nian immediately saw through her little scheme, and asked in a low, aggrieved tone, "Zhi Zhi, don't you want to go back?"

"You're telling me to go back alone? Isn't that avoiding me?"

With her thoughts laid bare, Nan Zhi instantly felt guilty, her eyes darting around as she stammered, "N-nothing."

"You...you living here is...not good..."

Jin Si Nian interrupted her directly, his tone disdainful and blunt: "Bullshit, everyone in the Nan family is eager for me to stay."

In their eyes, he was a real gold nugget, a highly sought-after prize.

Besides the one in my arms!

He looked down at her, pressing her for an answer, word by word: "Zhizhi doesn't want me to stay here, right?"

Nan Zhi dared not lie and nodded gently: "Mm."

Why?

"Because, because they wanted to take something from you."

Nan Zhi explained part of the reason: she had no reason to help the person who sold her.

Since someone is willing to offer themselves up, there's nothing she can do.

"That's it?"

"That's all?"

Jin Si Nian was somewhat incredulous. He thought that Zhi Zhi was avoiding him and rushing him away because she didn't want to be close to him.

"Um"

Nan Zhi lied to him again; she was just trying to avoid Jin Si Nian.

She just didn't want to get close to him. Yesterday, it was a sure thing that he would stay at the Jin family's old house.

But I don't know why I left, and instead of going home, I came here.

Seeing her evasive gaze, Jin Si Nian softened his tone but pressed on with a probing edge, "Okay, I won't force you to leave now. So, when does Zhi Zhi plan to go back?"

He didn't believe she could stay at the Nan family's house forever and never go back.

Nan Zhi pondered in her heart, wanting to blurt out that she would stay for three months, but she also knew that it was simply a pipe dream, and Jin Si Nian would never agree.

I can't possibly stay there for three months.

She pursed her lips, about to speak and suggest staying a few more nights, but Jin Si Nian had already made the decision for her, his tone sharp and authoritative: "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

His gaze was resolute and unwavering, leaving no room for negotiation.

Looking at his expression, Nan Zhi knew that if she insisted on refusing again, she would only anger him, making things even more difficult to resolve.

She remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded slightly and quietly agreed to the arrangement.

The man kissed her: "Zhizhi is such a good girl."

Downstairs, the three members of the Nan family all looked up at the building without prior arrangement.

They got up early, just in case Jin Sinian slipped away unnoticed.

They couldn't get too close to him.

It seems that bringing Nan Zhi back from Xinlian and giving her to Jin Sinian was the right decision.

Almost every time Nan Zhi came, Jin Si arrived shortly after.

He also said that Jin Si Nian didn't care about Nan Zhi and that Nan Zhi should come back to stay more often in the future.

Let's try to get closer.

A short while later, Jin Si Nian pulled Nan Zhi downstairs. Nan Yu invited Jin Si Nian to sit down: "Mr. Jin, I don't know if this kind of breakfast suits your taste."

The man glanced at it, then looked at Nan Zhi: "What does Zhizhi think?"

Nan Zhi sat down: "It's...it's fine."

The man pulled up a stool and sat down next to her.

Nan Jianhai took the initiative to put food on Nan Zhi's plate and awkwardly called out, "Zhizhi, eat more."

She looked at the steamed buns in the bowl and sneered inwardly.

This is because she's trying to curry favor with Jin Si Nian since she's here; she didn't give her a friendly look last night.

Nan Zhi pushed the steamed bun aside, ate her noodles while thinking about things, and realized she hadn't vomited much these past two days.

Is this normal?

She didn't read the books I bought much.

"Mr. Jin, did Zhizhi show you my proposal?" Nan Yu asked proactively.

Kings nodded casually: "Yeah, I saw it."

"Then what do you think..." Nan Yu's eyes showed some nervousness. As long as Jin Si Nian nodded, he would be a living advertisement.

"I think there are still many areas that need improvement," Jin Nian said bluntly.

Nan Yu's face paled: "Yes, I made a small change, but I don't know exactly what it was?"

Kings began nitpicking: "For example, Zhizhi doesn't like cilantro, and she doesn't like meat buns either."

"And there wasn't a single piece of clothing in Zhizhi's room that she could wear, and even her slippers didn't fit."

He bought Zhizhi slippers that cost 50,000 yuan each, but here she's wearing what looks like cheap hotel slippers.

"And the room's color wasn't her favorite either."

Nan Zhi's eyes widened. Wasn't this about business?

Why are you dragging her into this?

I really wanted him to stop talking.

The faces of Nan Jianhai and Lin Wan, who were sitting opposite each other, turned ashen.

Nan Jianhai glared at Lin Wan.

Lin Wan immediately understood and stepped forward to pull Nan Zhi away.

Jin Nian stopped her: "I'm telling you the truth about where Madam Nan wants to take Zhizhi."

Lin Wan forced a smile: "Yes, we didn't think it through." As she spoke, she took a card out of her pocket.

"There's 200,000 here. Consider it compensation from your mother. Go buy yourself some new clothes."

Nan Zhi accepted it; it was what they owed her.

Jin Si Nian stared at Zhi Zhi, and was happy that she had received 200,000 yuan and would not pursue the matter further; he felt that the amount was too low.

He stood up and moved closer to Nan Zhi: "Alright, I'll pick you up tomorrow."

He left after saying that, and Nan Yu chased after him, bowing deeply: "President Jin, look, all the problems are solved now. What about the contract?"

Jin Si Nian got into the car, rolled down the window a little, and looked out at the obsequious man trying to please him: "I can consider it."

"Okay, okay," Nan Yu replied, knowing in her heart that the matter had not been accomplished.

After the two left, only Nan Zhi and Nan Jianhai, the married couple, remained.

Nan Jianhai didn't say anything.

It was Lin Wan who was speaking, scolding her: "Zhizhi, you can tell your mother if you have any complaints."

"Yesterday, Mom said she would take you to buy new clothes, but you refused. Why did you complain to Mr. Jin when he came?"
