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

As night fell, Kingsman drove to the old house.

Aunt Qing brought over hot tea and placed it on the coffee table. Nan Zhi sat awkwardly to the side, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes.

She usually spent most of her time with Jin Jinnian and hadn't had many private conversations with this older brother. However, Jin Jinwen was the first person in the Jin family to openly accept her, and she couldn't help but feel a little awkward and unsure when facing him alone.

Nan Zhi didn't know why Kingsman had suddenly come to visit, since they weren't familiar with each other.

It's even stranger that she came looking for Jin Nian when he wasn't there!

Jin Siwen picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked up at the fidgeting girl, getting straight to the point: "Did you and Si Nian have a falling out?"

Nan Zhi hurriedly shook her head, her voice soft and low: "No, no."

Jin Siwen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of understanding in his eyes: "You still say no? Si Nian called me, he was so anxious that he had to drop everything and rush back overnight."

He cried and told me, "Sister-in-law, you're ignoring me."

Nan Zhi was stunned. She never expected that Jin Si Nian would contact Jin Si Wen in a moment of impulsiveness, and she felt uneasy.

She was afraid that her older brother would think she was being unreasonable, throwing a tantrum and ignoring Jin Si Nian, who was away on a business trip, after only being apart for a day.

She couldn't explain where the pent-up frustration in her heart came from. It was just that she had heard other pregnant women talk about their husbands cheating on them during their pregnancies in a yoga class, and she felt inexplicably uneasy, so she subconsciously didn't want to reply to Jin Si Nian's messages.

"I didn't... I didn't intentionally ignore him."

Jin Jingwen clearly didn't believe him, and softened his tone to ask gently, "Tell your brother the truth, has Si Nian wronged or bullied you in any way?"

Nan Zhi shook her head again: "No, nothing."

"Is it because you don't want him to go on his business trip and want him to stay with you?"

Nan Zhi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously denied it.

If she were to admit it, her older brother would definitely think she was too clingy and was delaying Jin Si Nian from handling important matters.

No.

Kingswin sighed softly and said bluntly, "Then why don't you answer his calls or reply to his messages?"

"He was on the phone with me just now, and his voice was almost red with anxiety, afraid that you were holding back your grievances."

"I didn't... pay any attention to him," Nan Zhi retorted guiltily.

She simply ignored Jin Si Nian; she didn't check her messages or answer her calls.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jin Si Nian’s aggrieved and anxious voice came from the phone. It turned out that the two had been talking the whole time.

"You said you weren't ignoring me, but you clearly were!"

Nan Zhi's body stiffened abruptly, the voice from the receiver still coming through: "You don't answer the phone, you don't reply to messages, I asked my grandmother to pass on a message, but you wouldn't say a word to me."

"Can't you just tell me what I did wrong? If you don't want me to stay in Qingshui Village on business, I'll buy a return ticket and go home right now."

"I'll buy a ticket for tonight, and you'll see me tomorrow."

Seeing this, Jin Jingwen handed the phone to Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi hesitated before taking it, muttering softly, "I didn't mean for you to go, just don't come back and delay important matters."

"I'm answering the phone now..."

Jin Si Nian's voice was tense: "So what's wrong with you?"

"I felt completely off after yoga class, even though I was perfectly fine before I left the house."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinlan, who was standing to the side, felt a sudden jolt and instantly realized the reason.

In the afternoon, several pregnant women gathered in the yoga studio to complain about their husbands' infidelity during their pregnancies. Could it be that these gossips made Zhizhi uneasy and start having all sorts of wild thoughts?

Nan Zhi hung her head sullenly and said perfunctorily, "Nothing."

"Nothing's wrong yet, stop giving me that deadpan look, it's making the two babies in my belly unhappy!" Jin Si Nian said through the receiver, sounding aggrieved and helpless.

Jin Siwen gave Liu Xinlan a look, and the two of them quietly got up and walked to the other side of the living room, leaving space for the two of them to talk alone.

As silence fell, Nan Zhi gripped her phone tightly and spoke slowly and softly, "I'm fine. I'll reply to your messages later."

On the other end of the line, Kings refused to budge, his tone stubborn and uneasy: "No, you have to tell me clearly now what exactly happened in the yoga class."

He went over his schedule repeatedly. Every day, Uncle Wang would pick him up and drop him off in his private car, and someone would accompany him to and from class.

I also asked my grandmother and Aunt Qing, and confirmed that Zhizhi had not been in contact with anyone else. The only variable was the pregnant women in the yoga studio.

Nan Zhi pursed her lips and pouted slightly: "I'll tell you when you come back."

"No, tell me now." Jin Si's voice was slightly hoarse, full of torment. "If you don't explain clearly, I'll just keep overthinking here. Please, this feeling is awful."

He'll imagine it...

Seeing his anxiety, Nan Zhi timidly revealed her inner unease: "First, some of the pregnant women in the class said that once the novelty wears off, men won't accompany them to yoga anymore... They also said a lot of other upsetting things."

Upon hearing this, Jin Nian quickly softened his voice and gently comforted her, "Those are just other people's nonsense, don't take them to heart."

"When I get back, tell me all the new moves you learned in class, and I'll practice with you properly."

"I don't have to work now, and I've been there for you through everything, big and small, during your pregnancy. How could I possibly leave you alone to go to the yoga studio?"

"What else did they say? Zhizhi, they said more than just that, right?"

Nan Zhi twisted the hem of her clothes between her fingers, adding in a weak voice, "They also...said that you would go out and cheat on me."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Jin Si Nian gripped the phone tightly with his knuckles, feeling a mix of bitterness and overwhelming disappointment in his heart.

"Do you think that just because I'm on a business trip, I can't stand the loneliness and will go looking for someone else?"

His voice deepened, carrying an imperceptible chill and grievance: "Just because of this baseless speculation, you've been ignoring me all day, not replying to my messages or answering my calls, making me restless and anxious all day."

"Nan Zhi, don't you even have the most basic trust in me?"

He had nothing but her in his heart and eyes. From the moment he found out she was pregnant, he put her first in everything and stayed by her side every step of the way. In the end, a few words of gossip from others were enough to make her doubt him completely.

She actually suspected he would cheat on her.

Jin Si Nian has always believed that when a man cheats, he is negating his previous judgment in choosing a partner, which is an extremely tasteless thing to do.

Seeing Jin Si Nian's gloomy and unpleasant expression reflected on the screen, Nan Zhi panicked instantly, her eyes reddening slightly, and she apologized softly, "I'm...I'm sorry..."

Jin Si Nian's throat tightened, suppressing the surging sadness, his tone faint but tinged with hurt: "No need to apologize, you just don't trust me."
