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

As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, Jin Si Nian woke up beside me.

It's time to go, or Grandma will start fussing again!

He stirred slightly, and Nan Zhi, nestled in his arms, immediately opened her eyes. Still drowsy, she nestled softly against his warm chest, her small hands unconsciously clutching his half-open shirt collar, her voice hoarse and groggy: "W-where are you going?"

Jin Si Nian carefully avoided touching her lower abdomen, gently pushing the girl in his arms away. He pressed his forehead against the top of her head and soothed her in a hoarse voice, "Grandma is about to wake up. We can't let her see us."

"It's still early, Zhizhi, you should sleep a little longer."

He lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead. His voice was deep and languid as he softly asked, "What do you want to eat for breakfast? I'll go out and buy it for you."

Nan Zhi blinked her sleepy, watery eyes and softly announced what she wanted for breakfast: "I...I want fried dough sticks, and...and fried dumplings, and a meat bun too."

Jin Si Nian frowned slightly, his eyes filled with concern: "Zhi Zhi is pregnant. Can you eat all this fried and oily food?"

Nan Zhi immediately pouted, her eyes filled with grievance, and she pleaded softly, "No, can't I eat it? But I, I really want to eat it."

Seeing her listless and coquettish appearance, Jin Si Nian instantly softened and gave in, helplessly replying, "Okay, okay, I'll buy them all for you."

"But if Grandma finds out later and won't let you eat it, I can't help you."

"Can't we just eat it secretly, or hide away?" Nan Zhi timidly asked, clutching his sleeve.

If Grandma knew, she probably wouldn't let her eat it.

"How can you hide? You'll give yourself away if you go downstairs and don't eat the breakfast on the table." As soon as Jin Nian finished speaking, he heard the soft footsteps of a maid downstairs. He immediately stopped talking and quickly picked up his coat that was scattered on the ground.

"I can't talk anymore, or we'll get caught."

The man hastily put on his clothes and turned to step onto the balcony railing.

Nan Zhi quickly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, her face pale as she tried to stop him: "No, it's not safe! You, you go downstairs through the main entrance!"

"Grandma's already awake. Going through the door is the easiest way to get caught." Jin Si Nian said in a low voice, then nimbly and skillfully flipped downstairs and landed steadily.

His movements were fluid and extremely skillful, clearly the result of years of practice climbing walls and windows.

With a light step on the lawn, Jin Si Nian looked up and gently gestured to Nan Zhi by the window before turning and quickly leaving Jinlong Bay.

Nan Zhi leaned against the French windows, took out her phone, and typed a message: "You promised me you'd never climb onto the balcony again."

The man replied to the text message instantly, his handwriting carrying a hint of roguishness: "What I promised was that if you come home with me, I won't climb anymore."

Nan Zhi stared at the screen, her cheeks slightly puffed out, and muttered softly, "Ugh, shameless!"

After experiencing a fright first thing in the morning, Nan Zhi couldn't sleep. After washing up, she went downstairs.

Grandma Jin was already sitting on the living room sofa. Seeing her come downstairs, she spoke gently, "Waking up so early, are you having trouble sleeping in the new bed?"

Nan Zhi gently shook her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, feeling a sense of unease in her heart.

She dared not tell the truth that last night, Jin Jingnian climbed over the balcony and sneaked into the bedroom, and then in a panic, jumped out of the window to escape in the early morning. If she told her grandmother about such an absurd thing, she would inevitably anger her grandmother again.

Grandma Jin's gaze was gentle, and she didn't delve into the matter. She slowly changed the subject and asked softly, "Pei Qin will be coming for a follow-up appointment later."

"Grandma asked you, did Pei Qin already know you were pregnant? Were you acquainted before?"

She always harbored doubts. Pei Qin was aloof and rigid, and never showed favoritism. If they weren't very close, he would never have helped Nan Zhi hide her twin pregnancy for several months without her consent.

Nan Zhi clenched the hem of her clothes slightly with her fingertips, nodded obediently, and replied in a soft voice, "Grandpa Pei has watched me grow up since I was little."

After saying that, she lowered her eyes and bent down, full of guilt and apology: "I'm sorry, Grandma, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Seeing the little girl's timid and guilty expression, Grandma Jin sighed softly, reached out and gently took her hand, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Grandma understands your concerns, don't blame yourself."

"It was Si Nian who was wrong; Grandma has already disciplined him."

She gently patted Nan Zhi's shoulder, her voice calm and reassuring: "When Pei Qin comes over later, he will take a detailed pulse diagnosis to check on the twins' condition and help you take good care of your body."

Outside the main gate of Jinlongwan Manor, two luxury cars came to a smooth stop one after the other.

Jin Nian was the first to push open the door and get out of the car. He was wearing a clean and elegant dark shirt. He went back to wash up and change into clean clothes. He was carrying a paper bag containing fried dough sticks, fried dumplings and meat buns. He was just about to bring his breakfast into the house.

At the same time, the door of another car opened beside him, and Pei Qin, dressed in a plain-colored long robe, slowly got out of the car. Behind him followed Pei Jingzhi, who had a handsome figure. The young man carried a solid wooden medical box in one hand, and his eyebrows and eyes showed impatience.

"Grandpa, I have patients waiting to be seen at my dental clinic, so I can't stay any longer," Pei Jingzhi said in a low voice, frowning.

Pei Qin grabbed his earlobe and scolded him with a stern face: "You brat, you insisted on not inheriting the family tradition and not studying traditional Chinese medicine, but instead went to study dentistry."

"Giving up a secure job at a public hospital to open a dental clinic privately—what kind of behavior is this!"

"From now on, behave yourself and follow me to learn medicine. Huichuntang will be handed over to you to inherit in the future."

As the two were walking, they bumped into Jin Si Nian, who was coming from the opposite direction.

Their eyes met, the air froze, and the two spoke in unison, their faces full of impatience: "What the hell are you doing here?!"

Jin Si Nian's expression turned cold and his aura suddenly turned fierce. He retorted in a cold voice, "Open your eyes and look carefully. This is Jinlong Bay, my Jin family's old residence, my territory."

Pei Jingzhi's face instantly fell, his eyes filled with disgust and gloom. He grabbed his grandfather's wrist and turned to turn back, saying, "Grandpa, if you had said you were coming here, I would never have come, even if you killed me."

"Nobody asked you to come knocking." Jin Si Nian sneered, retorting without backing down an inch. His sharp gaze was fixed on Pei Jing Zhi, his jealousy and hostility surging. "You're always following along, going wherever Zhi Zhi is. You have ulterior motives."

He reached into his suit jacket pocket and pulled out a bright red marriage certificate, waving it between his fingers as he assertively declared his ownership: "Zhizhi and I are already married. You have no chance."

Pei Jingzhi lowered his eyes to look at the two marriage certificates, a mixture of heartache and anger welling up in his eyes. He said coldly and sarcastically, "A-Zhi is really unlucky to have met you."

"You didn't trick her into getting a marriage certificate, did you? You're not trying to deceive her or force her into marriage, are you?"

Jin Si Nian's eyes suddenly darkened, and a surge of murderous intent rose within him. Just as he was about to retort sharply, the heavy, carved door opened from the inside, and Chang Xi stepped out, bowing respectfully to Pei Qin: "Dr. Pei, the old lady has been waiting for a long time. Please come in."

Jin Si Nian took a step forward, about to follow him into the courtyard, but was immediately stopped by Chang happy's gentle hand.

"Second Young Master, I'm sorry," Changxi said with a troubled expression, bowing as he replied, "The Old Madam specifically instructed that you are not allowed to enter today."

The man's handsome face instantly turned cold, his brows furrowed tightly, and his voice, laced with suppressed anger, asked, "What do you mean?"

"Can't I even come to see Zhizhi?"

"The old lady said that she finds it annoying that you come three or four times a day!" Changxi relayed the truth without daring to hide anything.

Pei Jingzhi, who was standing nearby, heard everything clearly. A mocking smile appeared on his lips as he raised an eyebrow at Jin Si Nian, whose face was ashen. He said in a light and sarcastic tone, "Heh, so this isn't entirely your territory after all, Young Master Jin."

His smile deepened, and he turned to look at Changxi, asking gently, "Nanzhi is in the courtyard, right?"

"Yes, the young mistress is here too," Changxi replied truthfully.

Pei Jingzhi's eyes gleamed with delight as he pulled his grandfather inside, deliberately provoking Jin Si Nian outside the door.

Jin Si Nian gripped the breakfast bag tightly, his knuckles white, his dark eyes cold and menacing. He warned in a deep, stern voice, "Pei Jing Zhi, if you dare to say even a single word to my wife in private, or flirt with her, I will absolutely not let you off."

"Let me in, I'm here to bring Zhizhi breakfast."
