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

Exhausted, Jin Si leaned on Nan Zhi's shoulder, his eyelids too heavy to lift, and pleaded in a sticky voice, "Zhi Zhi, come back to my room and sleep with me, okay?"

Nan Zhi reached out and gently patted the top of his head, whispering, "Not yet."

Jin Si Nian simply pressed his entire body against hers, grumbling aggrievedly, "I took a whole night's drive back, and I haven't even had a chance to rest since I got home. You said you were hungry, so I had to go to the kitchen to make you some noodles."

"I finally finished, and then my grandma came out and said she had to go water the plants in the backyard. I haven't slept a wink all this time, I'm so tired."

After being woken up by the noise of his return in the middle of the night, Nan Zhi was wide awake and full of energy: "Then, then you can go upstairs to sleep by yourself."

"Aren't you coming with me?" Jin Nian asked, looking up at him sullenly.

Nan Zhi gently shook her head: "I've had enough sleep, I'm not sleepy."

Jin Si Nian ignored her refusals, bent down, picked her up horizontally, strode upstairs to the bedroom, and shoved her into the soft bedding.

Nan Zhi struggled to sit up, using both hands and feet: "I really... really can't sleep, I... I need to go downstairs..."

He reached out and gently pressed down on her restless wrist, his arms tightly encircling her in his embrace, his breath tired and hoarse: "Shh, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and buried his head in the crook of her neck.

Nan Zhi looked helplessly at the sleeping man in her arms, secretly thinking to herself, "This man is clearly being a scoundrel."

She was full of energy and not sleepy at all, so she whispered a reminder: "I...I have to go to yoga class this afternoon."

Jin Si Nian casually patted the back of her head, pulling her back into his arms, and mumbled, "I know, I'll go with you this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi hurriedly stammered and refused, "No, no, I don't want you... to come along."

Jin Si Nian instantly opened his eyes, a hint of displeasure in them, and looked directly at her: "Give me a reason."

Nan Zhi bit her lower lip tightly, stammering and unable to speak a complete sentence: "I...I just...don't want you to go."

"That's not a valid reason."

Nan Zhi looked up blankly: "Then... then what... is that a valid reason?"

Jinsin tightened his arms, pulling her completely into his embrace, his warm breath brushing against her ear: "With me, you won't find any legitimate reason not to let me stay with you."

Her tone softened instantly, filled with weariness: "Be good, I really can't stay awake any longer, don't bother me, let me rest for a while."

"After your yoga class this afternoon, I'll take you to the mall to browse around. You can eat or buy whatever you want, it's all up to you."

After making those few promises, his nerves, which had been tense all the way, completely relaxed. He leaned against her, his breathing gradually becoming even, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Nan Zhi lay in bed, clutching her phone and playing with it all morning. The phone was plugged into a charger and placed next to her pillow, her fingers never stopping.

It wasn't until lunchtime that Jin Si Nian slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he did upon waking was to turn to her and press his face against hers, planting soft kisses on her cheek.

"Zhizhi, have you been playing on your phone all morning?" He glanced at the phone plugged in and pinched her cheek helplessly, secretly marveling at how addicted the little girl was to her phone.

"Play less; it's bad for your eyes."

Nan Zhi looked at him with a resentful expression: "I...I told you, I can't sleep."

After lunch, the two took a car to the yoga studio.

During the drive, Jin Si Nian gently poked Nan's soft cheek with his fingertip and asked softly, "Last time you threw a tantrum at me for no reason, was it because those pregnant women at the yoga studio gossiped about you, making you overthink and suspect me?"

Nan Zhi nodded gently, her voice timid: "They...they are all...very beautiful."

"But she, and their husbands, were all cheating on each other."

Jin Si Nian reached out and pulled her into his arms, his chest firmly supporting her body. He asked in a low voice, "So now you think it's not good for me to hand over most of the company's affairs to my older brother and stay by your side every day?"

Nan Zhi quickly shook her head. It wasn't that he was bad, but he was always sticking to her, which sometimes annoyed her.

They're very controlling, strict, and extremely clingy!

Seeing this, Jin Si Nian felt much more at ease, at least she clearly understood how precious daily companionship was. He then asked, "Did they also tell you that once the novelty wears off, I won't come to your yoga class anymore?"

Nan Zhi nodded, not wanting to dwell on this unpleasant matter any longer, lest Jin Si Nian nag her for not trusting him again. She gripped his hand tightly and changed the subject: "No, let's not talk about this anymore."

"How...how did you handle your matter?"

They said they didn't know when they would be back, but they came back very soon.

Mentioning Old Liu's matter, Jins sighed softly, his brows furrowing slightly, a heavy look settling over his eyes: "Old Liu is currently delirious, and the doctor said the chances of a complete cure are very slim. We can only take him back to the city for hospitalization and slow treatment."

"So many years have passed, and his brain has suffered severe damage. He probably can't remember what happened back then, and my mother can't recall the key details either."

"No one can say for sure what exactly happened in that car accident back then."

The hands resting on the knees tightened unconsciously, the fingertips turning white.

Seeing this, Nan Zhi quickly raised her hand and wrapped her warm little hand in his tense palm, gently comforting him, "We...we'll find out the truth eventually."

Justice delayed is justice denied; it is merely the truth.

He grasped her soft hand tightly in return and whispered, "Zhizhi, do you know?"

"Old Liu was my father's driver; he worked for him for nineteen years."

"I've been driving for nearly twenty years and I'm very familiar with the road conditions and potential vehicle hazards. I've never made a single mistake, but then that accident happened and I died."

"That accident resulted in one death and one serious injury. After being injured, Lao Liu disappeared for a full ten years. The whole thing is suspicious."

Nan Zhi leaned closer to him and gently patted his arm to comfort him: "You'll...you'll get better."

The carriage fell silent. The two nestled together, and Jin Si Nian whispered a soft reply: "Yes, it will be alright."

Now he has Nan Zhi by his side, and he is also pregnant with two unborn babies.

And then there will be a soft and cuddly daughter. Just thinking about these things makes the heavy feeling of oppression in my heart lessen.
