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

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

Nan Zhi calmly took out her phone and typed: I didn't complain. This is the truth, and anyone with eyes can see it.

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

Looking at the words on the screen, Lin Wan wiped away her tears, feeling sorry for herself: "It's Mom who's sorry..."

Nan Zhi offered no comfort, but typed: "In this life, you've done your duty, and that's enough. I've said we owe each other nothing."

After letting her finish reading it, Nan Zhi left.

She needs to go out and buy clothes.

Nan Jianhai put down his chopsticks, suppressing his anger and considering Jin Si Nian's feelings: "Where are you going? Don't forget that President Jin will come to pick you up tomorrow."

Nan Zhi nodded and left the Nan family.

After browsing around, she picked out only loose-fitting, body-covering clothes.

Since they are twins, this is a safer approach.

As she was carrying several bags full of clothes and preparing to head back, she noticed a newly opened dental clinic on the street in the mall. The storefront was brand new, and it looked like it hadn't opened yet.

Nan Zhi was taken aback.

She hadn't had her teeth checked in a long time. Pei Jingzhi had specifically told her before that her teeth were sensitive and she needed to have them cleaned and checked regularly, so she couldn't be lazy.

Before leaving, Nan Zhi glanced inside.

Inside the clinic, a busy figure stood out; his physique was handsome, and his features were gentle and familiar.

It's Pei Jingzhi!

"Jing, Jing's brother?"

Nan Zhi hesitated before stepping inside, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Pei Jingzhi was tidying up his medical instruments when he heard the familiar, soft voice. He abruptly stopped, looked up sharply, and a look of obvious surprise flashed across his eyes: "Azhi? What are you doing here?"

The man subconsciously looked up behind Nan Zhi, but there was nothing there. Jin Si Nian wasn't with her at all.

Little did he know that this morning Kings received a message from his elder brother that Mrs. King had been hospitalized yesterday due to a sudden heart attack.

Nan Zhi gently placed the shopping bag she was carrying on the coffee table in the rest area, tilted her head slightly to look at him, and stammered, "Brother Jingzhi, I should be asking you that!"

"Haven't you always worked at...the hospital?"

That's a secure job.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingzhi's gentle features dimmed slightly, his hospital-style formality fading, replaced by a more casual and indifferent demeanor. He chuckled lightly, his tone casually dismissing all the changes: "Well, it doesn't matter where you work."

Nan Zhi keenly sensed something was wrong: "You, are you..."

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Otherwise, why would they abandon a promising future at the hospital?

"No," Pei Jingzhi said, hanging his head and not daring to look at Nan Zhi.

Ah-Zhi will find out if he lies.

It's the same this time.

Nan Zhi realized something, and her emotions fluctuated greatly: "You...you said...you didn't!"

"Jingzhi, you...were you...were you discharged from the hospital?"

Pei Jingzhi shook his head: "Not really, it's a vacation."

Indefinite.

What vacation? Hospitals don't have vacations.

Only time off in lieu.

"Was it...him who did it?" Nan Zhi's eyes were red, and feelings of self-blame immediately welled up.

Pei Jingzhi did not answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.

She gripped the table, her chest heaving, her voice choked with sobs: "Why...?"

"Why, why didn't you tell me!"

When Pei Jingzhi saw that she suddenly became agitated and her breathing became erratic, his heart tightened. He quickly stepped forward, gently took her arm, and led her to sit down on a nearby chair.

"Don't get excited, Azhi. You have two babies in your belly. You can't let your emotions fluctuate too much."

He lowered his voice, gently calming her turbulent emotions: "Azhi, calm down."

Nan Zhi felt a tightness in her chest, her eyes reddened, and it took a long time for her disordered breathing to gradually calm down.

With her eyes lowered, she quickly tapped her fingers on her phone screen, typing out a line of text and handing it to him: I'm sorry, I'll have him transfer you back to the hospital.

I'm sorry, it's all because of me.

Pei Jingzhi looked at the words on the screen, a helpless tenderness welling up in his eyes. He turned around, took a bottle of warm water from the freezer, unscrewed the cap, handed it to her, and softly comforted her, "Really, you don't need to."

"There's nothing wrong with opening your own dental clinic. As long as you've earned your living, it doesn't matter where you work."

He never blamed her, nor did he ever want her to feel guilty.

I didn't tell her because I was afraid she would get emotional.

But the more casually he expressed his understanding, the more distressed Nan Zhi felt.

She looked up at the man before her, who was as gentle as ever, and her nose suddenly stung with tears. The emotions she had been holding back could no longer be contained, and hot tears fell down without warning.

Pei Jingzhi panicked and quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to her. Helpless, he tried to make her laugh by joking, "Azhi, my clinic hasn't even officially opened yet."

"What if you come to my shop and have a good cry, and then someone says my shop has bad feng shui and your crying ruins my business?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi pouted slightly, her eyes blurry with tears, but she was eventually amused by him and burst into laughter through her tears. Her voice was soft and still choked with sobs: "You...you're still being sarcastic."

Meanwhile, inside the hospital.

Jin Nian sat in the VIP ward, peeling a banana in her hand. Mrs. Jin thought it was going to be given to her, and slightly opened her mouth.

He ended up stuffing it into his mouth.

"Is this how you take care of me?" Mrs. Jin said angrily.

"The boss just came and annoyed me, and now you're here again."

"Let Nan Zhi take care of me."

Jin Si Nian, biting into a banana, said, "Why should Zhi Zhi take care of you?"

Mrs. Jin was furious: "She's been eating and using our food for the past three years, shouldn't she be taking care of me?"

"Come on!"

"What Zhizhi eats is what I earned, and what she uses is also what I earned."

"If you won't call her 'Mom' in a childish way, why should she serve you when she's not your daughter-in-law?"

Madam Jin looked at him: "Good, good. Since you know that the stutterer isn't our Jin family's daughter-in-law, that's good!"

"The three-year contract should have expired by now. After Nan Zhi left, you married Miss Zhou."

Kings stood up: "Mother has forgotten my warning last night."

Mrs. Jin's eyes widened in surprise: "What do you want to do? I'm a patient right now."

"Your mother is perfectly fine. If anything happens, just call a caregiver. We've hired three for you."

"Don't even think about tormenting my child!"

Having said that, Kings left without looking back.

From behind, Mrs. Jin relentlessly poked at his sore spot: "You're so naive, Jin Nian, I think you've lost your mind."

"She's just a product given to you; you don't actually want to marry her!"

The man paused slightly: "No need for Mother to trouble herself."

"Zhizhi and I will be very happy."

As long as the mother stops interfering.

"happiness?"

"I'll see what happens when the three-month deadline arrives."

"Nan Zhi will not leave, and how do you plan to keep him here?" Madam Jin sneered.

Jin Si Nian must have regretted not registering his marriage with Nan Zhi back then!

Indeed, he truly regretted it.

He was filled with regret, and the closer the day of Zhizhi's departure got, the more panicked and confused he became.

Moreover, he now feels that Zhizhi is different compared to before.

As soon as he left the ward, Jin Si Nian messaged Nan Zhi: "[Zhi Zhi, did you go shopping for clothes?]"
