The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

Are you hungry?

Xiao Beixun was extremely sparing with his words.

Jiang Nan recalled Ji Yishu's post on WeChat Moments and retorted irritably:

"Is Third Master now happy to deliver food to people?"

After Jiang Nan sent out these words, there was silence on the other end.

After taking a shower, Xiao Beixun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, frowning as he looked at the messages on his phone.

After a few seconds, he asked, "Did you send the wrong message?"

Jiang Nan was amused by his words: "Didn't Third Master see the words 'Third Master'?"

This was clearly a dig at him; it was sent to him.

Xiao Beixun stopped replying to messages this time.

Jiang Nan bit her lip in anger.

Once I get the will, I can annul the engagement and save my life...

She was determined to kick Xiao Beixun to the curb!

Just as I was thinking this, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Jiang Nan was taken aback, then went to open the door.

Looking at Xiao Beixun standing outside the door, she frowned in surprise: "Why is Third Master here at this hour?"

Xiao Beixun stood at the door, wearing a black silk nightgown, which made his deep and stern temperament even more apparent.

His gaze was intense, landing on her face, but he looked away after only two seconds and walked past her.

Jiang Nan was stunned. She turned her head to look at his extremely natural steps, closed the door, and followed him.

"What? Third Master wants to eat my noodles again?"

Xiao Beixun seemed to realize something, his sharp eyebrows furrowed, and he turned to look at her:

"You always talk like that... Doesn't it make people overthink?"

"What did I say?"

Jiang Nan suddenly realized what he meant, and deliberately curled her red lips into a gorgeous smile.

"What? We've done this so many times, is Third Master still shy? If Third Master wants more..."

Jiang Nan gently touched her soft, red lips with her fingers: "I can help you."

Xiao Beixun's broad figure stared at her: "You're getting bolder and bolder, you little vixen."

He reached out and placed his hand on Jiang Nan's lower back, pulling her closer to his embrace:

"Didn't you want my help before? What? Just because you're pregnant means you can do whatever you want?"

Jiang Nan was never humble in front of him; even when she needed his help, she remained proud.

Jiang Nan smiled radiantly: "Everyone says a mother's status rises with her son's; surely Third Master has heard of that saying? Besides..."

Jiang Nan placed her hand on his strong, muscular waist and abdomen:

"Third Master has such a great physique, he's the object of every woman's affections in the entire city, yet he's infertile. Now I'm the only woman who's pregnant with your child, shouldn't I be proud?"

Jiang Nan tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling and shimmering, looking both lively and arrogant.

She was beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.

She looks charming yet not vulgar, aloof yet with a touch of passion.

Like leaping musical notes, each note landed precisely on the strings.

So thrilling.

Xiao Beixun's gaze was deep: "You seem to know your own worth, but this child may not necessarily be mine."

"If you say that again, Third Master, I'll get angry."

Jiang Nan pinched his waist hard, not afraid of making him angry at all.

Over time, Jiang Nan grew bolder in his presence.

Xiao Beixun grabbed her slender wrist: "If you move again, I can't guarantee what I might do."

Jiang Nan struggled slightly, pouting, "Everyone says Third Master is a cold-hearted person, and I think it's true. I'm pregnant, can't he be a little gentler with me?"

Xiao Beixun's dark eyes gazed at her silently.

His aura remained cold and deep, but one could sense that he wasn't angry.

Jiang Nan still looked up at him: "Third Master, why did you come to see me? Did you miss me?"

Xiao Beixun uttered a surprising statement: "I'm looking for you to sleep with."

Jiang Nan was stunned. Before she could react, Xiao Beixun picked her up and strode towards the bedroom.

"Third Master..."

Jiang Nan thought of those things and wondered if he was such a beast that he would even take advantage of a pregnant woman.

However, she was placed on the large bed, and Xiao Beixun lay down next to her, reached out and pulled her into his arms. The light was then turned off.

"What are you looking at? Go to sleep."

Jiang Nan pressed her face against his chest, listening to his fluctuating heartbeat, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Your house is right next door, why are you sleeping here?"

I want to get a good night's sleep.

Xiao Beixun's words were pointed.

But these words left Jiang Nan completely bewildered.

What kind of talk is that?

Could it be that he had trouble sleeping before?

Just like those melodramatic novels, the male lead, a CEO, suffers from insomnia and can only fall asleep while holding the female lead?

This is ridiculous.

Jiang Nan didn't think much of it; she had originally intended to tease him a little.

However, the man beside her soon began to breathe steadily.

It looks like she's about to fall asleep.

Jiang Nan couldn't bear to disturb him.

Because she was really tired, and there was still a tough battle to fight ahead, she fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

The next day, Jiang Nan touched the side beside him.

The cool sensation of the silk sheets made Jiang Nan suddenly open her eyes.

What about the man?

They left so soon?

Is this really just a place to get a good night's sleep?

Jiang Nan got up, washed up, and changed into a white business suit.

As I left the master bedroom, I could vaguely hear noises coming from the kitchen.

She walked over and took a look, then her gaze froze.

Xiao Beixun was standing in front of the stove, frying something that smelled like eggs.

There seemed to be a faint smell of beef brisket in the air.

The table was also set with Chinese dishes that locals love to eat, such as shrimp dumplings and golden cakes.

These are basically all foods that Jiang Nan likes to eat.

"Third Master, you haven't left yet?"

Jiang Nan looked at him in surprise.

His broad back seemed less cold and more warm at that moment.

"Please have a seat, it will be ready soon."

Xiao Beixun said something without turning his head.

Jiang Nan put on her lady's watch, nodded blankly, and sat down at the dining table.

Then Xiao Beixun brought out a bowl of beef brisket rice noodles.

The rice noodles were topped with a few stalks of bok choy and a fried egg.

"Give it a try."

Xiao Beixun handed him the chopsticks.

Jiang Nan stared at the beef brisket rice noodles in front of him, looking astonished: "Third Master, you can make this?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Xiao Beixun's eyes as he scoffed, "I can handle such a huge merger and acquisition; what's so difficult about making some food?"

Jiang Nan was suddenly speechless.

He was so confident, yet it seemed to make sense.

Jiang Nan didn't have time to think about anything else and eagerly picked up his chopsticks to taste a mouthful of rice noodles in his bowl.

Just one bite, and a familiar taste flooded my heart.

Jiang Nan suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, her nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears.

She lowered her head, took a bite, and then took another bite.

It's so similar, so incredibly similar.

The taste of my childhood suddenly came back to me at this moment.

She felt like she was dreaming and didn't want to stop.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Xiao Beixun frowned and reminded him in a low voice.

Jiang Nan ignored him. "I haven't eaten this in a long time. I didn't expect you to make it."

Jiang Nan felt surprised and touched.

Qin Huan cooked for her last time, but the taste of Qin Huan's cooking was nothing like her mother's.

She never expected that Xiao Beixun, who seemed so cold and aloof, could actually make a bowl of rice noodles that tasted exactly like the ones her mother made.

"You can't even do something this simple? Didn't you learn it when you were a kid?"

Xiao Beixun raised an eyebrow, something flickering in his eyes.

He never forgot this rice noodle dish after eating it back then.

Later, when I went abroad, I tried to do it myself.

But he couldn't do it, so he called his teacher's wife for help.

The teacher's wife was a very gentle woman who patiently taught him for two hours.

So he learned it.

Little did I know that would be the last phone call.

Jiang Nan smiled, as if mocking himself.

"I'm a rich girl, I don't have to do anything."

Xiao Beixun looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Jiang Nan suppressed the bitterness in her heart and finished the whole bowl of rice noodles.

After finishing her meal, she looked up at Xiao Beixun across from her and smiled from the bottom of her heart:

"This is the best rice noodles I've had in years, thank you."

Xiao Beixun looked at her misty eyes, frowned slightly, and gave a soft "hmm".

When she went out, Jiang Nan changed into high heels.

They walked out of the house together, and Jiang Nan stood at the elevator entrance.

Xiao Beixun needed to go back to change into his suit, and glanced at her indifferently: "Go ahead, don't wait for me."

Jiang Nan smiled brightly: "Third Master, you're overthinking it. To avoid suspicion, I remember, I won't wait for you."

Xiao Beixun's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze shifted from her body, casually sweeping over her high heels.

Without saying a word, he strode back to the front door, verified his face, and entered the house.

Jiang Nan listened to the commotion on his end but didn't glance at it.

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and she stepped inside and went downstairs to her company.

The atmosphere changed as soon as I arrived at the company.

Her colleagues looked at her with strange eyes.

Jiang Nan, with her cold and aloof expression, paid no attention.

During the meeting, no matter what Jiang Nan proposed, Lin Zhengmin would always disagree.

The key issue is that others also contradicted him.

Jiang Nan leaned back, glanced at him, and her gaze was icy:

"Manager Lin, what does this mean?"

Lin Zhengming chuckled and said, "Director Jiang, we were just expressing our opinions. You're not angry, are you?"

Or is it that Director Jiang is deliberately using her status as a relative of the emperor to disrupt the entire R&D department?

Jiang Nan's lips twitched slightly: "Oh? Then tell me, how did I mess up this department?"

"Director Jiang knows exactly what she's done."

Lin Zhengming looked at his other colleagues and said, "Some people don't have the ability, but they insist on squeezing in by relying on their status as relatives of the emperor. Not only do they occupy other people's resources, but they also don't do any real work."

Moreover, this person has ulterior motives; he even tried to extort 500,000 yuan from someone!

Upon hearing this, the others immediately erupted in uproar, their gazes towards Jiang Nan turning contemptuous.

It is already difficult for ordinary people to find employment.

Jiang Nan's actions were tantamount to depriving them of their opportunities, and were utterly shameful.

Immediately, everyone began to angrily criticize and condemn the actions.

The meeting room descended into chaos.

Jiang Nan looked at them indifferently, showing no fear in the face of danger, and let them make a fuss.

Chen Lin hurriedly pushed open the door and came in, whispering a few words in Jiang Nan's ear.

Jiang Nan then took out his phone and opened the company's work forum.

There was an anonymous post on the forum accusing Jiang Nan of abusing his power to extort 500,000 yuan from his colleagues.

The comments section below was buzzing.

After reading the message, Jiang Nan exited and casually tossed his phone onto the conference table: "Have you had enough?"

This sentence, though not loud, is extremely intimidating.

Jiang Nan, in particular, has a cold and aloof appearance, and at this moment, she exuded a powerful aura, causing her other colleagues to shut up.

Lin Zhengming looked at her smugly:

"Director Jiang saw it? It's obvious that the person in the post is you."

Jiang Nan looked at him amusedly: "So, you're the one who posted this?"

Lin Zhengming arrogantly raised his chin:

"So what if it's me? I have irrefutable evidence now, and even if Director Jiang denies it, it won't change anything!"

"Oh, really?"

Jiang Nan picked up his phone and swiped around a few times.

Within minutes, everyone's phone rang simultaneously.

Everyone picked up their phones and their expressions changed drastically.

Jiang Nan suddenly stood up and approached Lin Zhengming with a cold look in his eyes.

Without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
