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

Nan Zhi sat alone on a rattan chair in the courtyard. In the past, Jin Si Nian would have squeezed over without saying a word and pulled her into his arms to sit with her.

But now he didn't dare to rush forward, and could only stand obediently to the side, his tone full of grievance: "We clearly agreed that I would sleep on the sofa, and then you wouldn't keep ignoring me and being angry with me."

"You're cheating. I've been sitting on the sofa for two whole days, and you haven't said a single kind word to me. This punishment is just too agonizing."

Nan Zhi lowered her eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.

He even had the nerve to complain that although they had agreed to sleep on the sofa and not climb into the bed, he took advantage of his own sleep to sneak back into the bed and they cuddled together.

Who's cheating here?

After being caught, Nan Zhi couldn't deny it, so he said he was sleepwalking.

In reality, he was so comfortable sleeping with Nan Zhi in his arms that he didn't get up and couldn't bear to leave this gentle embrace.

He was the one who cheated first, and now he's turning the tables on me.

He slept on the sofa that time, and he really slept there that time; he didn't sneak into bed in the middle of the night.

Jin Si Nian tentatively reached out, wanting to touch her protruding belly, but Nan Zhi raised her hand and slapped it away.

He looked at his reddened hand, rubbed it a couple of times in a wronged tone: "I just wanted to touch our child, is that not allowed?"

"Are fathers still allowed to be close to their babies?"

Nan Zhi had no way to refute this, so he simply stopped trying to stop her.

Jin Si Nian took the opportunity to squat down in front of her and whispered a complaint to her belly: "Little ones, your mom is being unreasonable. She hasn't talked to me for days and won't let me sleep with her."

Nan Zhi's ears burned, and she reached out to push his head away: "Nonsense!"

"I'm not lying." Jin Si Nian looked up at her, stubbornly insistent. "You've barely spoken to me these past two days, and just now you said four or five words to me!"

Nan Zhi brought up old stories to refute: "In the past, we wouldn't even exchange ten words in two or three days, and I've never seen you this upset."

"That's completely different." Jin Nian stood up and followed closely behind her. "Before, I was just one-sidedly watching over you. Now we like each other, so we should talk more. You've been so quiet, I'm about to burst."

He recalled when Nan Zhi first came to his side. She was quiet and timid, didn't like to make noise, was easily moved to tears, and was always afraid of distancing herself from him.

Now that he and Zhizhi like each other, they can't say a word to each other all day, which is going to suffocate him!

Nan Zhi admired him for always saying that they liked each other.

She repeated softly, "I only like you a little bit."

As soon as she finished speaking, she got up to go back inside, but Jin Si Nian stayed close to her side, pressing her for more information: "Does liking someone even a little bit mean you don't like them?"

Nan Zhi reached out and pushed him away, but he still followed closely behind her, asking, "Why are you angry?"

"Why are you angry?"

"I was telling the truth; we are clearly of one mind."

"Don't be angry, okay? Two days of silent treatment is enough punishment." Jin Si Nian softened his tone, looking pitiful. "The sofa is hard and narrow, it's really not a place for a human to stay."

Nan Zhi's phone popped up with a message from Pei Jingzhi. He had arrived at the villa's entrance and had something to personally hand over to her.

Seeing her get up to leave, Jin Si Nian immediately stopped her, his tone tense: "Where are you going?"

"Outside"

Jin Nian persisted, relentlessly pressing for answers: "Outside?"

"Who's outside?"

He rushed to the door and opened it, whereupon he saw Pei Jingzhi standing outside.

Jin Si Nian's face instantly darkened. He grabbed Nan Zhi's wrist, his jealousy surging: "What's he doing here? Did he come specifically to disrupt my and Zhi Zhi's sweet days and destroy the unbreakable bond between us?"

He didn't want to see Pei Jingzhi, not at all!

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingzhi's expression turned slightly cold. He raised an eyebrow and retorted calmly, "What kind of relationship do you and Azhi have?"

"If she weren't pregnant, do you think Azhi would have willingly stayed by your side?"

Enraged by these words, Kings Nian, whose sore spot had been hit, let out a cold laugh: "I know you're jealous."

"Zhizhi and I like each other now. Even if you're unwilling, you can only watch helplessly."

He reached out and pulled Nan Zhi tightly into his arms, warily blocking her view, and bluntly ordered her to leave: "You are not welcome here, please leave."

Pei Jingzhi scoffed, "Jealous of you?"

"When I met Azhi, you didn't even know where you were."

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Childhood sweethearts can't compete with a sudden, unexpected love'?" Jin Si Nian turned to look at the person in his arms and urged urgently, "Zhi Zhi, tell him that we like each other."

Nan Zhi frowned and patiently said, "That's enough."

"How dare you yell at me?" Jin Nian pursed his lips in grievance and turned his face away sullenly.

Nan Zhi ignored the man's tantrum and turned to Pei Jingzhi, saying softly, "Brother Jingzhi, come in and sit for a while."

Pei Jingzhi shook his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over Jin Si Nian's hostile expression, and said indifferently, "No need. I don't want to go into his place. I wouldn't have come if you weren't here."

After saying that, he handed over the gift box in his hand: "This is a tonic that Grandpa specially prepared and asked me to give it to you."

Nan Zhi quickly declined, "This... actually, no, it's not necessary."

"They've brought so many over the past few days."

Pei Jingzhi insisted: "These were gifts from Jin Si Nian's friends and relatives, while these were gifts from your relatives."

"Gone."

As Nan Zhi watched Pei Jingzhi walk away, before she could look away, Jin Si Nian's gloomy face loomed close to her.

"Have you seen enough?" he grumbled sullenly. "Why does he deserve to be considered your family?"

"And just now, why wouldn't you admit it yourself that we understand each other's feelings?"

He hung his head in grievance and complained bluntly in a spoiled tone, "Zhizhi, I dislike him from the bottom of my heart, I don't like him at all."

Nan Zhi rolled her eyes helplessly and sighed, "Can you...can you let go of your prejudice against Jingzhi and stop targeting him all the time?"

Jin Nian's attitude was very firm, and he flatly refused: "No, I just hate him."

"He clearly wants to take you away from me."

Nan Zhi sighed helplessly and stammered, "You...you're really overthinking it. Brother Jingzhi has no...no such intentions at all."

"Besides... I've known Jingzhi for so many years. If we really had feelings for each other, we would have clicked long ago."

Jin Si Nian frowned and said seriously, "It's normal that you have too much resistance and can't see through his dirty thoughts."

……

After listening, Nan Zhi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to continue persuading him.

My native language is speechless!
