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

The fact that Jiang Nan lives in Yijing Community.

I don't want anyone to know.

But the person standing outside the door now is Ji Yishu.

What does she want when she rings the doorbell?

Jiang Nan hesitated, then picked up her phone and sent a message to Xiao Beixun:

[Ji Yishu is ringing my doorbell now. What's wrong? Did you tell her about accompanying me to my prenatal checkup this afternoon?]

Jiang Nan was deliberately teasing him with the last sentence.

she thought.

If Xiao Beixun doesn't reply within a few minutes, I'll call him.

Ji Yishu kept ringing the doorbell.

When no one answered the door, he knocked again.

Is anyone there?

"..."

Jiang Nan frowned, feeling that her approach was a bit too...

Harassment.

Just two minutes after the message was sent

The door across the street was suddenly opened.

Xiao Beixun, dressed in a suit and tie, walked out and stood at the elevator entrance, his eyes fixed intently on Ji Yishu's figure.

"What are you doing there?"

Xiao Beixun's cold and deep voice rang out behind Ji Yishu.

Ji Yishu was so focused on knocking on the door that she didn't notice Xiao Beixun coming out of the house.

A fleeting look of panic crossed her face, but she smiled and returned to him. "Brother Bei Xun, I've come to find you."

Xiao Beixun's eyes were filled with darkness.

His silence prompted her to subconsciously try to cover it up, saying, "Since you and this family will be neighbors from now on, I came to say hello and I was even thinking of bringing a small gift."

Xiao Beixun's thin lips curled into a cold smile, a dark, unfathomable glint in his eyes.

"It seems you've learned quite a bit of this mess of etiquette during your years abroad."

He made a statement.

The elevator doors opened.

Xiao Beixun stepped in.

Ji Yishu followed him in nervously. "Brother Bei Xun, I just wanted to say hello. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll change it next time."

Ji Yishu pouted and frowned, gently tugging at his sleeve and shaking it, looking as if she knew she was wrong.

Xiao Beixun's expression remained unchanged, still as cold as an iceberg.

He did not respond to what she said.

Jiang Nan felt relieved as the corridor returned to quiet.

Returning to the living room, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

It seems that Ji Yishu still has some doubts.

If you do the math, there are still ten weeks left until the DNA test.

Ten days later, they got engaged.

The engagement wasn't important; she had already figured out a way to deal with it last time.

The problem lies with the wedding that was arranged later.

She had to make sure the wedding didn't happen until the DNA test results came back.

He could avoid offending the Xiao family and escape unscathed.

After thinking it over...

Jiang Nan realized that before he could take back everything from the Jiang family, there seemed to be no better way than to cling to Xiao Beixun's coattails.

late at night.

Jiang Nan saw that it was eleven o'clock, but Xiao Beixun had not come as agreed.

Who knows where he and Ji Yishu went on their romantic getaway?

Jiang Nan, out of curiosity, picked up her phone and opened her WeChat Moments.

Sure enough, Ji Yishu posted a picture of a men's watch.

[The gift I gave him... Even though I'm quite willful, he's always been tolerant and loving towards me. He's truly the sun in my heart. Everyone else is afraid of him, but to me, he's the warmest.]

"...How childish."

Jiang Nan got up, pulled open the drawer of the watch box on the bedside table, and stuffed it inside.

I'll sell it tomorrow!

Jiang Nan lay down and fell asleep immediately.

In the middle of the night, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.

Jiang Nan covered her head with the blanket, pretending not to hear.

The doorbell rang for quite a while.

The phone rang again.

With all this noise, she can hardly sleep.

But she insisted that he wait.

The phone rang for a while before Jiang Nan slowly answered, "Third Master, disturbing someone's sleep so late is really unethical."

Xiao Beixun's deep voice, carrying a chill, drifted over, "Open the door."

That tone left no room for refusal.

Jiang Nan handled the situation with finesse.

She couldn't afford to really anger Xiao Beixun, her powerful patron.

She didn't even hang up the phone before getting up to open the door.

The door had just opened.

A tall figure outside the door, shrouded in a chilling aura, approached directly.

Jiang Nan felt the chill coming towards him and instantly felt much more energetic.

"Third Master, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"You know the answer already, so you ask."

Xiao Beixun's voice was deep.

Listen closely, and you can hear a hint of resentment.

Before Jiang Nan could speak, he stepped inside.

Seeing his indifferent back view, Jiang Nan didn't even get angry, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

I closed the door and went back to my room.

This time is different from the previous two times.

Xiao Beixun was sitting against the headboard, with the room lit by a dim yellow light.

The raindrops fell on his head, making his cold, hard face appear even more somber.

His entire aura was gloomy.

"Isn't Third Master going to sleep?"

"..."

Xiao Beixun stared at her with cold, deep eyes, without saying a word.

He patted the spot next to him with his large hand.

"So Third Master was waiting for me." Jiang Nan chuckled.

She enjoyed challenging men who were as cold as ice, so she knelt on the bed.

Her light body easily rolled over him, turning over to lie on the inside, next to him.

"Third Master, is something bothering you? Tell me and cheer me up."

Jiang Nan rested her head on his strong, powerful arm and looked up at him.

Her eyes held a tender affection, while the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

Xiao Beixun reached out and gently pinched her chin. "Do you like stringing me along that much?"

Jiang Nan is a smart man.

He immediately guessed that he was referring to her delay in opening the door earlier.

Jiang Nan's eyes darted around, glancing at the clock on the bedside table. He snorted proudly, "Third Master really knows how to frame people. We agreed to meet tonight, and it's already two in the morning. I've been asleep for a long time."

"If we're talking about being suspended, shouldn't it be Third Master suspending me?"

Her tone was coquettish, but her eyes always held a hint of arrogance.

Xiao Beixun stared at her cold and beautiful face for a few seconds, and half of his coldness and ferocity faded away.

"I was busy and that took up too much time."

Xiao Beixun's voice was magnetic, "Didn't you say you had something for me?"

Jiang Nan recalled seeing the watch Ji Yishu had given her before she went to sleep.

She broke free from his side, lay down, and said calmly, "I won't give it to you anymore. I'll give it to you when Third Master behaves better."

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

"Is this how you ask for favors?" Xiao Beixun's voice deepened.

Jiang Nan, with his eyes closed, said matter-of-factly, "You're the father of the child in my belly, what's wrong with you helping the child's mother with something?"

"..."

Xiao Beixun's lips curled into a playful smile. "You're quite good at using your advantages."

Hearing this, Jiang Nan became interested.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes.

His eyes were bright and piercing, as if filled with a sky full of stars, and looked clear and bright.

"Of course, what I'm most proud of is my eye for talent, my good looks, and..."

Jiang Nan touched her flat belly, but seemed to be able to sense the heartbeat of the fetus inside.

She smiled proudly, "Even though Third Master was almost childless, I was able to carry your child. Isn't that something to be proud of?"

The key is.

She wanted it.

She got it.

Those past fourteen years.

She tried to please Wen Jizong and his wife by being well-educated, reasonable, sensible, and obedient.

They've long since lost their sense of self.

From the moment I learned the truth.

She is Jiang Nan!

I just want to live for myself this once!

Xiao Beixun met her ambitious gaze but said nothing.

Early the next morning.

After washing up, Jiang Nan arrived in the living room full of anticipation, her eyes immediately turning to the dining room.

The restaurant was empty.

Xiao Beixun was nowhere to be seen, nor was there the aroma of beef brisket.

He didn't even have beef brisket rice noodles for breakfast!

He came to sleep last night, but didn't even get up to cook breakfast to repay her?

"What are you looking for?"

Xiao Beixun's magnetic voice sounded from behind.

Jiang Nan turned around and looked over, clearly seeing the amusement in his eyes.

"Didn't Third Master cook breakfast?"

Jiang Nan stared at him expectantly.

Xiao Beixun walked closer to her, lowered his eyelids to look at her, and said, "We agreed last night that you would give me a gift."

"You broke your promise and still want to eat the breakfast I made?"

"..."

This guy.

So it was intentional!

Jiang Nan opened his mouth as if to explain.

Hesitant to speak.

He couldn't very well say that Ji Yishu had already given him a watch, and he didn't want to give her one anymore, could he?

"If you want breakfast, give me what you're owed first."

After saying that, Xiao Beixun turned and left.

Jiang Nan rolled her eyes at his retreating figure!

I won't give it to you!

But Jiang Nan is the type of person who has to get what she wants.

I was filled with anticipation this morning, thinking about eating the beef brisket rice noodles made by Xiao Beixun; the aroma seemed to linger in my nostrils.

She was incredibly hungry for it.

She asked Chen Lin to pack one of the portions for her to bring back.

She only ate two bites before spitting it into the trash can.

Unappetizing.

It doesn't taste like mom's cooking at all.

Just then, Wen Wan came in and saw her vomiting. She stared at her suspiciously.

"Jiang Nan, are you pregnant?"

When Jiang Nan saw her, his face immediately darkened. "If you have an eye problem, go get it treated, or I'll have to yell at you."

Wenwan was quite angry.

One look at that bowl of beef brisket rice noodles and I understood.

She smiled smugly, "How could anything outside be as good as what the maids at home do? You just had to be so arrogant and move out of the house."

"Without the Wen family, you are nothing."

Jiang Nan stood up abruptly, her eyes sharp. "Get out of here after you've finished speaking. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Wen Wan's face turned ashen instantly.

I vaguely sensed that Jiang Nan had really changed; he had become quick-witted and sharp-tongued, although he was still as aloof and arrogant as ever.

However, she lacked that ladylike, well-mannered demeanor.

"Jiang Nan, stop pretending in front of me. Brother Ziqian may not know, but I know very well that you're just a pretentious person."

Jiang Nan stepped closer, rubbed his wrist, and moved it around.

To Wen Wan, this action made her think that she was about to hit her, so she quickly took a few steps back.

"What are you doing? You think I'm going to hit you? You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in your thick skin."

Wen Wan was so angry at her retorts that she almost died.

But thinking of the task my parents gave me, I had no choice but to complete it.

"I can't be bothered with you!"

Wenwan said, "Your parents asked you to come home for dinner tonight. They also said they want to discuss your engagement party with Ziqian in ten days."

"They also said that the engagement party must proceed as scheduled, and that you should go back obediently to discuss it properly to avoid any further mistakes."

After finishing her sentence, Wenwan turned and walked away in her high heels.

Although they knew that Xiao Ziqian and Jiang Nan's engagement and marriage were only part of a plan.

But she was still angry.

I wish I could kill that bitch Jiang Nan right now!

Looking in the direction she left, Jiang Nan felt a chill in his heart.

really.

They were still so eager, wanting to push her to her death.

Jiang Nan suddenly realized that he still had to coax Xiao Beixun and not sell that watch.

She quickly returned to her desk.

She picked up her bag, along with the watch she planned to sell, and went straight to find Xiao Beixun.
