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

After a long while, Grandpa Pei slowly released his fingers from Nan Zhi's wrist. His aged brows furrowed tightly, his face solemn, and his expression unreadable.

Jin Si Nian's heart leaped into his throat, his nerves taut. He took a hurried step forward, his voice filled with anxiety: "Dr. Pei, how is Zhi Zhi's health?"

Pei Qin glanced at him, inwardly cursing.

I really can't understand how my eldest grandson lost to this guy.

He suppressed his chaotic thoughts, sighed softly, and earnestly instructed, "Continue with the treatment as before. Her health was severely compromised in her early years, resulting in a deficiency of qi and blood, and her constitution remains weak."

"Avoid overworking yourself on weekdays, and be sure to go to bed early at night; never stay up late."

"Continue taking the medicine for another half month, and then come back for a follow-up visit. By then, you will have basically recovered most of your lost blood and energy, and your body will be much better."

After saying that, Pei Qin picked up paper and pen and began to write a new prescription for conditioning medicine with flowing strokes.

Jin Si Nian wrapped his arms around Nan Zhi's waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. His handsome face scrunched up as he asked in a distressed tone, bluntly and without any hesitation, "Do I have to take medicine for another half month?"

"Is it okay to have sex during this period?"

These words created a subtle atmosphere in the hall for a moment.

Pei Qin glanced at the straightforward and impulsive man and replied calmly, "From a physiological perspective, there's nothing to worry about."

"But remember not to do it too often, and be gentle. Given the girl's current weak constitution, it's best to do it as little as possible, and ideally, to postpone it for now."

Grandma Jin, sitting to the side, immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing her grandson: "You rascal, it's only been half a month, can't you even stand it?"

"Behave yourself for a while and don't bother the young mistress while she's recovering. We'll talk about everything once she's fully recovered."

Jin Si Nian tightly gripped Nan Zhi's soft little hand in his arms, his face filled with bitterness and resentment, with nowhere to confide his frustration.

It's only been half a month there.

Since he returned from his last business trip and realized that Zhizhi needed to rest, he has been enduring it for more than a month.

We used to eat our fill every day, but now we can only hold each other and drink some meat soup.

What troubled him even more was that after enduring this agonizing two weeks, he would then run into Nan Zhi's menstrual period.

All things considered, he will be forced to restrain himself for a long time.

I just couldn't resist!

The sight of his sweet, soft, and innocent child in his arms, which he couldn't touch, was worse than killing him.

With no other choice, Jin Si Nian released the girl from his arms, walked straight to Pei Qin and sat down opposite him. He offered his wrist and said resignedly, "Please, Doctor, also prescribe me a half-month supply of medicine to clear heat and calm the mind."

For the sake of his young body, he could only grit his teeth and endure this.

Unable to eat, he could only rely on herbal medicine to suppress the restlessness surging in his heart.

Nan Zhi pressed his hand down: "No, it's not necessary!"

Since all medicines have some degree of toxicity, he doesn't need to drink that stuff.

"Well, actually... it would be better to sleep in separate rooms."

She had long since stopped wanting to sleep with him; in this sweltering heat, he was like a furnace, yet she still insisted on sleeping in his arms.

If the air conditioner is on, it's too hot to be held under the covers while the person is in the air conditioning, but too cold to be without the covers.

She prefers to sleep alone.

"No!"

Kings' face turned cold, and he was the first to disagree with the idea of ​​living in separate rooms.

I can't eat it, and now I still let him hold me and won't let us sleep together.

He's a wild man who has no wife and no one wants him.

Nan Zhi lowered his eyes, knowing he would disagree.

He gets furious whenever this is brought up.

Holding the medicine and preparing to go back, Jin Si Nian casually leaned against the courtyard wall, carrying the medicine bag in one hand, and waited patiently.

Grandma Jin couldn't bear to let Nan Zhi leave so easily, so she took her hand and said many comforting things to her.

Jin Si Nian tried several times to interject and leave with the others, but couldn't find an opening. He could only raise his eyebrows helplessly and quietly watch the little girl who was completely favored by her grandmother.

Well, it's good that Grandma likes Zhizhi and loves her more.

As the conversation drew to a close, Grandma Jin smiled and took off her translucent and lustrous icy jadeite bracelet, slipping it onto Nan Zhi's slender, fair wrist without a word.

The emerald green sheen made her skin appear even whiter and more beautiful.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she couldn't stop smiling as she said in an expectant tone, "My dear granddaughter-in-law, when you get back, be a good girl and take your medicine on time to take good care of your health."

"When you give our Jin family a great-grandson, Grandma will reward you handsomely and will definitely not treat you unfairly."

The old woman's eyes were filled with anticipation, as if she could already see the lively and warm scene to come, with two soft and adorable children surrounding her knees, calling out "Grandma" in sweet and soft voices.

Nan Zhi lowered her eyes to look at the heavy jade bracelet on her wrist, her lips moving slightly as she instinctively wanted to refuse, her voice still trembling with a slight stutter: "This... I can't accept this..."

She felt a mix of emotions.

In fact, ever since the first time she accompanied Jin Jinnian on a visit, Grandma Jin had shown her special favor.

On his first visit, he gifted her a valuable jade pendant symbolizing peace and tranquility. After that, he would frequently give her jewelry and rare items, treating her with gentleness and sincerity.

If there's anyone I'm reluctant to part with, it's probably my grandmother!

Grandma Jin didn't care about her refusal at all. She gently patted the back of her hand and said in a protective and gentle tone, "Silly child, just accept it."

"If Si Nian dares to bully you when you get back, or if your mother-in-law causes you trouble, just tell Grandma. Grandma will stand up for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Jin's gaze inadvertently shifted downwards and landed on the pendant on Nan Zhi's collarbone. She said with interest, "Oh, this pendant is quite unique. The duck is rather cute."

As soon as the word "duck" was uttered, Jin Si Nian, who was standing against the wall, suddenly stumbled.

His handsome face flushed instantly, embarrassed and aggrieved. He quickly stepped forward to explain, "Grandma, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This isn't a duck, it's a swan."

A sly glint flashed in Grandma Jin's eyes as she scanned the two faces, teasing him deliberately, "Really? I look at it from all angles, and it's clearly just a little chubby duck."

"They have round heads and lack the elegance of a swan."

"Calling it duck is more appropriate."

Jin Nian stubbornly stuck out his neck, like a sulking teenager, refusing to budge an inch: "It is a swan, just... just a slightly chubby swan."

Seeing how serious he was, Nan Zhi smiled helplessly and pulled him away.

In the car, Jin Si Nian, still holding Nan Zhi, said somewhat angrily, "Grandma's eyesight is really failing; this is clearly a swan."

"But she said it was a duck!"

"Child, do you think this is a swan or a duck?"

Seeing the man's serious gaze, Nan Zhi pursed her lips: "Um... it's like a swan that looks like a duck."

Jin Nian said, feeling wronged, "Fine, whatever Zhi Zhi says goes."

He had no reason to disobey the child.

"Zhizhi, you seem to really enjoy staying in Jinlong Bay, staying by Grandma's side."

The child seems more vibrant in front of her grandmother.

He talks more, and with him...

When Zhizhi first arrived, he and Zhizhi barely interacted.

Later, perhaps because Zhizhi became more familiar with the situation and accepted the status quo, they gradually began to communicate.

Nan Zhi responded with a "Mm".

Being with Grandma Jin reminds her of her maternal grandmother.

I wonder how my grandmother has been these past three years. It's been so long since I've been back...
