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

Jin Si Nian lay on his side, holding her securely in his arms, gently massaging her slightly protruding belly with his palm, and asked in a low voice, "Zhi Zhi, what kind of person was Grandma?"

The tonics that had just been served were still on the table. Xueyan Nanzhi only managed to eat half of it, but didn't touch the warm pigeon soup.

He was secretly puzzled. He hadn't eaten much, so why did he keep saying he was full?

"Hmm... she was quite strict," Nan Zhi said truthfully. Her grandmother was very strict with her, and she always said that what is lacking innately can be made up for later.

Jin Si Nian paused in his fingertips, a hint of unease in his voice.

His grandmother was the only close and trusted relative in his heart, so he naturally cared a lot about what the old lady thought of him.

"Will my grandma disapprove of me? Will she like me?"

He gently nuzzled the top of her head with his nose, tentatively asking, "If Grandma forces you to separate from me and divorce me, will you agree to her wishes?"

Nan Zhi looked up at him, sensing he was testing her again, and deliberately teased him to speak: "Then, it seems we have to listen to Grandma..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Si Nian's face fell instantly. He sullenly withdrew his hand from rubbing her stomach, his tone aggrieved and jealous: "You listen to everything others say, so why don't you listen to me or obey me like this?"

"sleep"

Without saying another word, he raised his hand and snapped off the bedside lamp, then pulled Nan Zhi into the blankets and held her tightly in his arms.

Nan Zhi reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, muttering softly, "It's only eight o'clock, I... I can't sleep."

She wanted to use her phone to kill time, but the room was pitch black and she couldn't find it no matter what she did.

I don't know where it went~

Jins refused to loosen his grip and stubbornly said, "Go to sleep. Who was complaining about not getting enough sleep before? Now it's eight o'clock, a perfect time to sleep."

Nan Zhi's eyes were filled with resentment as she silently complained to herself.

Before, besides going to work, he would come home, eat dinner, and then want to eat her and make a fuss.

Except for a few days when I have my period, there are almost no days when I'm not having any trouble.

It starts at eight o'clock, sometimes even earlier at seven o'clock, and continues until very late.

Of course she wasn't getting enough sleep.

"Well, I don't... I don't go to bed this early."

"I don't care, you're pregnant now, so you have to go to bed early and get up late to take care of your health," Jin Si Nian said firmly.

She's not a pregnant woman at all, she's clearly a lazy pig.

Nan Zhi sensed the oppressive atmosphere emanating from him and hesitated, stammering, "Are you... are you angry?"

The man remained defiant, replying in a muffled voice, "No."

The room was quiet for a long time. Nan Zhi leaned against his chest and slowly and softly spoke to comfort him: "I... I won't leave. You... you don't need to test me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jin Si Nian reached out and pulled the blanket up to cover her, gently patting her back with his palm, his voice low and calm: "Sleep."

But he was not satisfied at all.

All he ever wanted was for her to say she would never leave. He greedily hoped that Zhizhi would stay by his side willingly, that she would have him in her heart, like him, and love him, and that she would not only stay reluctantly because of the two children in her womb.

The next morning, Aunt Qing came to knock on the door.

"What is it?" Jin Nian's voice was somewhat cold.

He had been awake for a while. He had indeed gone to bed early last night and woke up early as well. But Zhizhi is a little lazybones and can sleep a lot.

He woke up but didn't rush to get out of bed. He pressed his head against Nan Zhi's stomach and listened, and then he heard a knock on the door.

Aunt Qing replied softly from outside the door, "Young Master, someone has arrived at the door. He claims to be the young mistress's older brother and has come specifically to see her."

Upon hearing that it was someone from the Nan family, Jin Si Nian's eyes instantly turned icy. He knew exactly what kind of people the Nan family were and what they were planning. Without the slightest hesitation, he coldly ordered, "Get them out of here."

Aunt Qing responded and was about to turn around to deliver the message, but she was stopped by Jin Si Nian when he spoke up.

"etc."

He glanced down at Nan Zhi, who was still fast asleep in his arms and completely unconscious, then changed the subject, "No need to send him away, let him come into the living room and wait."

Nan Yu was carrying several gift boxes in both hands, including bird's nest and some expensive tobacco and alcohol.

This was given to my younger sister and brother-in-law.

Logically, as the elder brother, he shouldn't have prepared special gifts, but since this was his first time visiting Jin Si Nian's residence, he needed to be polite to build rapport.

He had a clear plan in mind: with his brother-in-law Jin Si Nian backing him up, countless people in the business world would be eager to curry favor with him in the future.

When I see Nan Zhi later, I must persuade her to whisper in his ear and get the cooperation contract to Jin Si Nian to sign and finalize.

Stepping into the living room, Nan Yu casually placed the gifts at her feet, still thinking about the two bottles of fine wine, intending to give them to Jin Si Nian separately to get closer to him.

Looking around, the living room was empty; neither Jin Si Nian nor Nan Zhi could be seen.

He frowned and asked Aunt Qing, who was waiting nearby, "Where are my sister and sister-in-law?"

"I came here early this morning, but I can't see a single person."

Last night he specifically sent a message to Nan Zhi, as promised, that he would come today, yet he treated him so lightly!

Originally, he planned to have Nan Zhi bring Jin Si Nian back to the Nan family together, but Nan Zhi simply ignored him and didn't reply to his messages. He had no choice but to go to their door in person.

Aunt Qing lowered her eyes, her attitude respectful yet distant: "Young Master and Young Madam haven't gotten up yet."

Nan Yu felt a surge of displeasure. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was only 8:30. Although it was the start of the workday, he had come all this way, so he couldn't just sit and wait.

Suppressing his impatience, he instructed, "Could you please go upstairs and urge Nan Zhi to come see her? Tell her that her brother came here specifically to see her."

He specifically emphasized the words "specially".

Aunt Qing rolled her eyes inwardly.

For the past three years, the Nan family had never visited her, and the young mistress rarely took the initiative to return to her parents' home. She had heard about the grievances the young mistress had suffered at home in the past, and she despised Nan Yu's sycophantic behavior from the bottom of her heart.

But this man was, after all, the young mistress's nominal brother, and the young master had ordered him to be brought in; so we couldn't be disrespectful.

She verbally agreed, but showed no intention of heading towards the stairs, determined to leave him waiting in the living room.

You idiot, the young master will make you wait!

Just wait and see.

The minute hand of the clock slowly moved round and round, and only silence remained in the living room. Nan Yu sat there for a long time, his face gradually turning ashen.

It was intentional; this was clearly Nan Zhi's doing.

Well done! Now that you've hooked up with Young Master Jin and things are going well for you, you dare to put on airs and give him attitude. You deliberately left him waiting alone in the living room without even a single person coming down to greet him.

His knuckles clenched tightly, and anger surged within him, but he dared not go upstairs alone.

This is Jin Nian's private villa. Trespassing into the second-floor guest rooms is a major taboo. If we displease President Jin, his purpose of seeking cooperation today will be completely ruined.

All we can do now is wait...
