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

On the morning of the banquet, Jin Si didn't go to work.

Instead, he accompanied Nanzhi to Jinlong Bay.

In the huge courtyard, there was only Grandma Jin and the caregiver who looked after her.

Grandma Jin had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When she saw the two enter, her expression softened instantly. She quickly stepped forward, took Nan Zhi's hand in hers, and gently stroked it with her fingertips. Her eyes were full of love, and her tone was tinged with concern: "You've lost weight?"

Nan Zhi was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked down at the slightly protruding part of her lower abdomen.

Since becoming pregnant with twins, my appetite has actually been better than before, and I've been eating more. I haven't been vomiting much lately either.

She's gotten a bit plumper than before; she's clearly gained weight, so why does her grandmother think she's gotten thinner?

Before she could react, Grandma Jin turned her head and glared coldly at Jin Si Nian beside her, her tone clearly reproachful: "A perfectly good young girl was handed over to you, and this is how you take care of her?"

"They can't even support a person properly."

Jin Si Nian took the opportunity to wrap his long arm around Nan Zhi's waist, affectionately pinching the soft flesh on her side with his fingertips, and replied helplessly and obediently, "It's my fault, I've remembered Grandma."

"When we get back, I'll have someone take care of Zhizhi's health and give her a good boost."

That little waist is so soft!

Grandma Jin gave a disgruntled snort, ignoring the sweet-talking Jin Si Nian, and led Nan Zhi to the sofa to sit down. With gentle eyes and a direct yet earnest tone, she asked, "Nan Zhi, Grandma's asking you, when are you and Si Nian planning to have a child?"

Nan Zhi blushed slightly: "Grandma, Grandma, why are you bringing this up again..."

She could only speak in front of Grandma Jin without being criticized for her stuttering.

Grandma Jin was very kind to her, so Nan Zhi would feel guilty for lying to her.

Jin Si Nian chimed in, sitting close to Nan Zhi: "Grandma, didn't we already say so?"

"This depends on fate; it can't be rushed."

He was in a hurry, a very hurry!

But he always used condoms when he had sex with Zhizhi, and they hadn't had sex for a long time.

It's the last three months, and I probably won't be able to get pregnant again.

If Zhizhi insists on leaving, he will have no choice but to lock her up.

But Zhizhi will hate him, sigh...

Grandma Jin glared at Jin Si Nian again: "What do you mean by fate? Three years have passed and I still haven't managed to cultivate this fate?"

"I'm getting old, and all I want to do is hug my great-grandson. Your older brother is such a disappointment."

"Grandma's hopes for having a great-grandchild rest on you and Xiaozhi."

"So, the reason we brought you two here today is to let everyone see whose fault it is that you haven't conceived after three years."

As Grandma Jin spoke, she asked Sister Yu, who had taken care of her for most of her life, to invite the renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Dr. Pei.

Jin Nian wasn't worried; he was sure it wasn't a problem between him and Zhi Zhi.

Wearing a condom, it would be strange if you could get pregnant.

Pei Qin, carrying a medicine box, entered the room. She was about the same age as Grandma Jin, and had a mischievous look on her face: "Don't you know how busy I am!"

"Who's sick?"

Grandma Jin pushed Nan Zhi forward: "This is my granddaughter-in-law. Please take a look and see why she hasn't gotten pregnant after three years of marriage."

Nan Zhi looked at him with delight, her hands clenched. He was Jingzhi's grandfather, and he had been traveling to treat and save lives.

She winked at Grandpa Pei, hoping he would recognize her.

We mustn't let him take our pulse!

I've heard that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are very skilled at pulse diagnosis; they can even tell whether you're carrying a boy or a girl.

Then she definitely can't hide the fact that she's almost two months pregnant anymore.

Nan Zhi recognized Grandpa Pei, but Pei Qin did not recognize her.

Seeing Nan Zhi's nervousness and reluctance, Jin Si Nian took her hand and said, "Grandma, Zhi Zhi and I aren't in a hurry to have a child."

Grandma Jin raised an eyebrow, her tone carrying the stubbornness and expectation unique to the elderly: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

"I'm an old man with not many days left, and I just want to see my great-grandson born as soon as possible before I die."

"I don't know where to put my mind all day long, and I don't know how to put in any effort."

"If Xiaozhi had gotten pregnant in her first year of marriage, the child would be running all over the place by now."

Jin Nian understood perfectly.

Grandma is determined to have someone take her pulse today, and if we don't let her have her way, this matter will definitely not be over.

He chuckled softly and readily conceded, "Alright, then you can just take my pulse directly from me."

"Having children is ultimately a matter of the man."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Si Nian sat down calmly and stretched out his wrist, indicating to Doctor Pei Qin next to him that he should take his pulse.

He still held Nan Zhi firmly in his hand, his fingertips gently caressing her, offering silent comfort.

Nan Zhi stood quietly beside him, her heart slightly unsettled.

She instantly understood his intention—he was trying to get her out of a tight spot.

Even if they weren't using condoms, the fact that he got her pregnant despite wearing one shows that she knows Jin Nian is perfectly healthy.

And it's pretty good, two at a time.

Jin Si Nian turned his head and gave her a reassuring look.

The two looked into each other's eyes, understanding each other without words.

He knew his grandmother's temperament all too well; once she took Nan Zhi's pulse, she would inevitably prescribe a bunch of bitter medicines to regulate her body and aid fertility.

She hates bitter tastes the most and avoids them whenever possible.

Pei Qin raised her hand and placed it on his wrist to check his pulse. She closed her eyes and concentrated for a moment. After a moment, her brows furrowed suddenly, and she said with certainty, "Your pulse is strong and restless, indicating stagnant liver fire and excessive yang energy."

"Long-term abstinence from sexual intercourse leads to stagnation of Qi and excessive heart fire."

He withdrew his hand and said directly, "I'll prescribe two doses of herbal decoction to clear your heat and regulate your body."

After saying that, Pei Qin turned his gaze to Nan Zhi, whose face was turning slightly red and whose body was a little stiff, and said in a tone that was like an elder's advice: "Young lady, he is still your husband. Keeping him like this is not a long-term solution."

These words are blunt and explicit.

Nan Zhi's ears instantly burned, she lowered her eyes and dared not look up, her heart pounded, she felt extremely guilty, and her fingertips subconsciously clenched Jin Si Nian's palm.

Pei Qin had seen countless people and could tell at a glance that the atmosphere between the two was subtle. The girl looked embarrassed and awkward, as if there was something else going on.

And it looks somewhat familiar...

Having been a worldly man for many years, he saw through things but didn't point them out. He simply calmly withdrew his gaze and said no more.

Grandma Jin looked at Nan Zhi, stepped forward, and asked, "Did Si Nian do something to wrong you?"

"What did he do to upset you?"

Upon hearing that Xiaozhi and Si Nian had not shared a room for a long time, she immediately assumed it was Jin Si Nian's fault.

Xiao Zhi is obedient and well-behaved, while Jin Si Nian has a terrible temper.

But in reality, when Nan Zhi gets stubborn, he has an even worse temper than Jin Si Nian.

"No, no," Nan Zhi shook her head as she explained. She was afraid that she would also be taken in for a pulse-taking, and how she would explain herself then.

Jin Si Nian rolled down his sleeves and pulled Nan Zhi into his arms: "Grandma, you've wronged me. How could I dare to make her angry?"

When Zhizhi got angry, she ignored him.

That's terrifying, he wouldn't dare.

Grandma Jin watched the two of them, inseparable, as if they wanted to pinch each other together every time Jin Si Nian brought Xiao Zhi over the years.

Earlier, the red marks on Xiao Zhi's neck from their intense lovemaking couldn't be hidden.

It's obvious at a glance how badly he was bullied by this vicious wolf.

"Xiao Zhi, is it because of what Si Nian's mother did last time that you two are arguing?" Grandma Jin asked.
