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

The two of them argued all night.

Zhizhi wouldn't let him hold her; as soon as he reached out, she would get scratched all over.

She was using this to express her dissatisfaction.

Zhizhi doesn't want to get a marriage certificate with him; she doesn't like him.

She didn't want to stay for him.

Now I don't even want to eat breakfast.

Jin Si Nian didn't go to work today. He originally planned to take Zhi Zhi to get their marriage certificate early in the morning, but Zhi Zhi didn't want to get up.

No matter how much I call out to them, they won't listen.

She doesn't want to get a marriage certificate with him, at least not now.

Aunt Qing, watching anxiously from the side, asked Jin Si Nian, who sat in the wicker chair with a cold expression, "Young Master, did you and Young Madam have another argument?"

"no."

"She won't argue with me," Kings stated coldly.

For no other reason than that she always viewed having her by my side as a transaction.

In her mind, she was the sugar daddy, and her first principle was not to upset him, so she wouldn't hold a grudge against herself.

At least not for the past three years. Zhizhi is easy to coax. Even if there are some minor disagreements, he buys her a necklace and it's over quickly.

Moreover, he and Zhizhi didn't register their marriage back then.

He wanted to slap his past self for being so confident back then that he wouldn't fall in love with a naive girl.

Now look what's happened, they're leaving.

You don't have any reason to keep her, are you happy now?

Aunt Qing sighed: "Young Master, as an outsider, I can see clearly that you like the Young Madam, and the Young Madam is not entirely without feelings for you either."

The young mistress kept it all to herself and didn't say anything.

How would young people put it?

Oh, right!

Avoidant personality.

In fact, the young mistress is very insecure. Some people say that she is also disappointed when she speaks haltingly, but she just doesn't show it.

Always wearing a respectable mask.

Jin Si Nian said calmly, "Aunt Qing, you must have seen it wrong."

Aunt Qing opened her mouth, but said nothing more.

It seems the young master will suffer a great blow in the future.

If you can't understand it yourself, no matter how much she explains it, you still won't understand.

The young master is being stubborn; he's clearly been very good to the young mistress, and his actions speak louder than words.

Yet they couldn't even utter a word of love or affection.

He wouldn't know that insecure people who like to avoid conflict don't make wild guesses.

If you don't express your feelings, she will never cross the line and will never take that step.

In other words, you need to show her enough favoritism for her to come to you willingly.

Otherwise, even if I like you a lot, I will miss out because I lack confidence.

This is the passive waiting effect, also known as the emotional confirmation effect.

Aunt Qing went to the front hall and was just about to wash the vegetables when someone came.

A noise came from outside the door.

Looking up, Madam Jin led Zhou Qingwan straight into the villa, followed closely by two bodyguards in black, carrying various luxury gift boxes, and they went straight into the house.

Madam Jin glanced around at the simple yet luxurious decor of the room, her tone tinged with displeasure, and said to Zhou Qingwan beside her, "This is Si Nian's usual private residence. At this time, he should already be at work."

After saying that, she pulled Zhou Qingwan to sit on the main sofa in the living room, her eyebrows haughty, and turned to look at Aunt Qing standing at the kitchen door, asking bluntly, "Aunt Qing, where is Nan Zhiren?"

Her tone was full of criticism and dissatisfaction: "When guests come to our house, she is considered a member of the family, yet she doesn't even know how to greet them properly. She has no manners whatsoever. What kind of behavior is this?"

She snorted coldly, making no attempt to hide her contempt: "Does she really think that just because my son has supported her for a few years, she's really the young mistress of the Jin family, putting on airs like this?"

"The only daughter-in-law I've ever considered for the Jin family is a young lady like Qingwan, who comes from a prestigious family and is dignified and proper."

When Zhou Qingwan was mentioned, all the disdain in Madam Jin's eyes disappeared, replaced by heartfelt appreciation.

Whether it's family background, upbringing, appearance, or temperament, Zhou Qingwan is the perfect match for the He family, and the more she looks at her, the more satisfied she becomes.

Aunt Qing looked troubled, her gaze falling on Zhou Qingwan, who sat elegantly to the side. She instantly understood Madam Jin's purpose for coming.

Here they come again, causing trouble. Madam Jin doesn't like the young mistress.

This was something she knew from her very first day working as a nanny here.

She carefully chose her words and replied respectfully, "Madam Jin, the young mistress is still upstairs."

These words instantly angered Madam Jin. Her face darkened, and her tone turned cold: "It's already this late, and you're still lying in bed?"

She immediately gave the order: "Go, call her down here."

Aunt Qing was caught in a dilemma. On one side was the matriarch of the Jin family, and on the other side was the young mistress whom the young master doted on. She was caught in the middle and couldn't move forward or backward.

Just then, steady footsteps came from the backyard.

Hearing the commotion, Jin Nian walked over with a cold expression.

Almost at the same moment, light footsteps were heard from the stairs, and Nan Zhi slowly descended the stairs.

"Mother, what brings you here?"

Jin Si Nian spoke up, subconsciously turning his head to look at the girl beside him, his gaze gentle, with a hint of probing.

But Nan Zhi was still caught up in last night's argument, harboring resentment and anger. When she noticed his gaze, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly turned her head away, unwilling to meet his eyes at all.

Zhizhi is still sulking with him.

When Mrs. Jin looked at him, she was stunned for two seconds. He hadn't gone to work today.

Her previous arrogance vanished instantly, her expression softening as she pulled Zhou Qingwan to Jin Si Nian's side: "Si Nian, this is the Zhou family girl that your mother mentioned to you."

"You're all around the same age, you'll have plenty to talk about, why not let her stay here for a couple of days?"

As she spoke, Madam Jin turned her gaze to Nan Zhi: "Xiao Zhi, you and Miss Zhou are about the same age. What do you think about her staying here?"

She knew that Nan Zhi was easy to talk to, and that as long as she agreed to Si Nian's request, she would have nothing more to say.

Just as Nan Zhi was about to agree, Jin Si Nian looked at her with a warning gaze, so she could only shut her mouth.

"Not good, not good at all!"

"Aunt Qing, see the guests out." Jin Si Nian said coldly, about to kick the group out.

The blunt order to leave showed no mercy to Madam Jin.

"Nanzhi"

Madam Jin's face turned ashen. She completely ignored Jin Si Nian, her gaze passing over him and locking onto Nan Zhi behind him, her eyes filled with anger and prejudice.

In her eyes, Nan Zhi was a burden who clung to the powerful and wealthy and tried to monopolize Jin Si Nian's life.

Nan Zhi subconsciously twitched her fingertips, her body stiffening slightly.

Jin Si Nian keenly noticed her subtle movements and immediately clicked his tongue in displeasure. He stretched out his long arm and pulled Nan Zhi behind him, protecting her tightly. His brows were full of displeasure as he looked at his mother: "Zhi Zhi is timid. You scared her."

"Scared?" Madam Jin was so angry at his biased and protective manner that she laughed, her chest heaving violently. "Jin Nian, I want to ask you, you've been playing with her for three whole years, aren't you tired of her yet?"

"You are the future head of the Jin family. Sooner or later you will have to settle down, start a family, and marry a daughter from a prominent family of equal social standing."

Her gaze swept over the timid and silent Nan Zhi, her tone carrying an undeniable certainty, each word piercing to the heart: "As for her, a woman who can't even speak properly."

"She will leave sooner or later; she will never become the rightful young mistress of the Jin family."

In the past, she had always been considerate of Jin Si Nian's feelings and had never said such harsh words to Nan Zhi in front of her son.

But things are different now; Si Nian is even more protective of her.
