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

"Then, then my milk tea..." Nan Zhi lowered her eyes, feeling wronged.

Jin Si Nian looked down at the sulking pregnant woman and feigned ignorance: "What milk tea?"

Nan, pouting innocence, argued, "You...you promised me I could drink!"

"But the doctor just said you can't drink it anymore."

"Listen to me, let's go home first." Jin Si Nian reached out to take her hand.

Nan Zhi turned away angrily, protecting her bulging belly, and walked very quickly.

The hospital lobby was bustling with people. In just a moment, Jin Si Nian reached out but couldn't hold on tight, and the little girl disappeared from his sight.

"well…"

His heart tightened, and he sighed softly, "Nonsense, why are you running around like that!"

He quickly pushed through the crowd and chased after her, spotting the milk tea shop across from the hospital, where Nan Zhi was obediently standing at the counter waiting to pick up her order.

My previously panicked and tense heart finally relaxed a little.

Nan Zhi wasn't intimidated at all and stood calmly at the shop entrance.

Jin Si Nian quickly walked to her side and helplessly advised, "It's not that I'm deliberately preventing you from drinking it, it's just that the doctor clearly instructed me to control my sugar intake."

"If I don't buy what you want, you throw a tantrum and run away."

Although he tolerated her little quirks during her pregnancy, it was really dangerous for her to run around alone without saying a word. The traffic outside the hospital was so heavy that it was truly frightening.

"I...I'll just...have a tiny sip," Nan Zhi said, staring longingly at the bubble tea on the counter. What she really wanted were the soft, chewy tapioca pearls. She stammered, "I...I ordered 30% sugar, so the sugar content is...very low."

When the milk tea was ready and handed over, Jin Si Nian simply picked up the cup and drank all the milk tea soup, leaving the bottom full of pearls for her.

Holding a whole cup of pearls, Nan Zhi finally calmed down and obediently followed him into the car to return home.

As the car entered the residential area, the two saw a gentle woman standing by the roadside from afar; it was Lin Wan.

She was carrying a large bag of gifts and looked like she had been waiting for a long time, occasionally peeking out at the road leading in and out of the community.

She didn't have much time left. If she didn't see Nan Zhi today, she wouldn't be able to maintain her comfortable and respectable life.

She can't live without money...

She had visited the house several times before, but was stopped by security guards each time.

When she first visited, the security guard dialed the intercom. Aunt Qing answered and immediately told Jin Si Nian, who then instructed the guard not to let her in. She couldn't even step into the gate of the community.

Left with no other choice, she could only wait outside the door to block her. She knew that Nan Zhi was soft-hearted, and since she had specially prepared gifts, she was sure she could say a few words to her.

Today, she was right to wait. Around noon, Jin Si Nian's car slowly drove into the residential area, and it was clear that the two had just returned from a prenatal checkup.

Nan Zhi saw Lin Wan through the car window and was slightly taken aback, completely not expecting that the other party would be waiting here.

Jin Si Nian's expression was indifferent, and he was still holding the milk tea cup that only had pearls left in his hand. At the bottom of the cup were the pearls that Nan Zhi had insisted on adding twice as many.

The car was about to drive past her when Lin Wan recognized it at a glance and immediately stepped forward to block the road.

Driver Uncle Wang slammed on the brakes in a panic, a cold sweat breaking out all over his body; this man was simply courting death.

Lin Wan's movements were so abrupt that the gift box she was carrying scattered all over the ground. Without bothering to pick it up, she pressed her face against the car window and said urgently, "Xiao Zhi, Mom came here especially to see you."

Nan Zhi sat in the back seat, looking at the woman outside the window, feeling a mix of emotions.

Didn't I tell you not to come?

Jin Si Nian looked at Lin Wan, who was blocking the car like a persistent ghost, and his eyes flashed with coldness. He coldly ordered Uncle Wang, "Just ram her."

He had repeatedly warned her not to bother Nan Zhi again, and the community security guards had intercepted her time and time again, but she still stubbornly stood guard at the gate to block him.

He didn't believe Lin Wan wouldn't let the car pass!

Uncle Wang hesitated, preparing to release the brakes, when Nan Zhi quickly grabbed Jin Si Nian's arm and frantically stopped him, shouting, "No!"

Seeing her nervously clutching her sleeve, Jin Si Nian sighed helplessly and gently patted her back: "I was just teasing her, she won't actually bump into it."

"Zhizhi, you're just too soft-hearted."

Nan Zhi looked up at him, her voice trembling as she spoke, "N-no, it's not that I'm soft-hearted, but if I really hit someone, I'll go to jail."

Jin Si Nian reached out and pulled her into his arms to comfort her: "Zhi Zhi, she wouldn't dare to refuse."

If they really collided, she would dodge faster than anyone else!

Nan Zhi gently pushed his chest, her attitude firm: "That won't do either. Even if you scare him, it could easily lead to trouble."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." Jin Si Nian compromised and reached out to help her lower the car window.

Nan Zhi looked at Lin Wan standing outside the car and said softly, "Go back, you don't need to come looking for me again."

Lin Wan quickly picked up the scattered gifts and hurried to the car window.

Jin Si Nian's gaze from the back seat was cold and sharp, fixed directly on her, creating an oppressive atmosphere. Lin Wan unconsciously swallowed nervously, forcing out a gentle expression: "Xiao Zhi, Mom just couldn't rest easy and wanted to come see you."

"This is your first pregnancy, so there are many things you don't know. Mom has experience and can take care of you."

Nan Zhi looked at her indifferently, her tone detached: "I can read books and study, and my grandmother also... comes to keep me company. That's enough."

She knew in her heart that she never needed this mother who existed only in name and by blood.

Now that the child is older and Lin Wan knows about breastfeeding, should she be forgiven for the past just because she has changed her ways?

Nan Zhi couldn't do it; she had been called an orphan without parents for over a decade...

Jin Si Nian, standing to the side, spoke coldly, showing no mercy whatsoever: "Mrs. Nan, there are three of us at home—myself, my grandmother, and Aunt Qing—taking care of Zhi Zhi. Everything is arranged properly. Your presence here is superfluous."

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhi immediately nodded gently, her little head bobbing up and down.

Jin Si Nian glanced at her obedient and agreeable appearance, and the coldness in his eyes instantly melted away, replaced by doting affection. He chuckled softly.

Lin Wan's gentle expression froze instantly, and her tone became somewhat unnatural: "Is your grandmother with you too?"

The old lady she was referring to was her own biological mother and the maternal grandmother who had raised Nan Zhi single-handedly.

Back then, she and Nan Jianhai cruelly abandoned young Nan Zhi to the elderly, never returning home to visit for years. They only sent money twice, totaling less than 20,000 yuan, which was considered as support for the elderly and living expenses for Nan Zhi.

Later, as Nan Jianhai's business declined, she stopped the money transfers, effectively severing ties with her biological mother and daughter.

Her mother originally disagreed with her marrying Nan Jianhai, but she insisted on going with him. Nan Jianhai also knew that his mother disliked him.

So they rarely let her go back...

After a brief silence, Lin Wan forced a show of concern and tentatively asked, "Is your grandmother... still in good health?"
