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

With the Lunar New Year approaching, there are only about two weeks left until the holiday.

Nan Zhi had just finished her last prenatal checkup before the Lunar New Year the day before. Lately, she has been feeling increasingly lethargic, spending her days sleeping and not wanting to move around. She has even stopped going to her regular prenatal yoga classes.

The bedroom door was tightly closed, and Jin Si Nian was all alone, clinging to the door frame. Nan Zhi had specifically instructed him not to come in and disturb her sleep.

Liu Xinlan passed by with a cup of warm water and, seeing his anxious appearance, helplessly comforted him: "You don't need to stay by his side like this. Pregnant women carrying twins have a heavy burden on their bodies, so it's normal to feel sleepy."

Jin Si Nian pressed his fingertips against the door frame, his brow furrowed with unease: "But she's been sleeping for far too long, from the night before last until now, which is more than twelve hours."

He muttered to himself that his little girl was like a sleepy little pig, and also stingy, not allowing him to get close to her.

If he hadn't been able to see her chest and abdomen rising and falling evenly under the covers, he would have rushed in to check her breathing, fearing something might have happened.

"Twins are inherently more taxing on your energy than singletons, so get plenty of sleep to replenish your spirit. You should also take care of your own affairs; you don't need to stay here all the time," Liu Xinlan sighed softly.

Jin Si Nian was stunned upon hearing this. What could he possibly have to do?

Since Nan Zhi was diagnosed with pregnancy, he has almost canceled most of his company affairs and handed them over to his older brother, Jin Siwen, leaving Nan Zhi alone in his life.

My daily routine is simple and repetitive: I accompany her for three meals a day, chat with her to keep her company, and watch over her while she takes a bath at night.

Nan Zhi was shy and insisted that he wear an eye mask before she would let him stay in the bathroom to take care of her.

After washing and drying her body, I carefully applied pregnancy oil to her, then lay her down on the bed, letting the baby in her womb feel the father's love, and then we fell asleep in each other's arms.

His world had long revolved around Nan Zhi, and he no longer had any free time for himself.

Looking at his dejected appearance, Liu Xinlan felt a surge of emotions.

When she first learned that Nan Zhi was pregnant, her first reaction was heartache, followed by resentment, fearing that the young girl would be mistreated after marrying into a wealthy family.

Later, when he came to the Jin family with his special assistant to take care of her, he saw with his own eyes that Jin Si Nian always put Zhi Zhi first, and he was finally relieved—there was another person in the world who wholeheartedly cherished Zhi Zhi.

When her daughter Lin Wan insisted on eloping with someone, she once reflected on whether she had made a mistake in raising her. But now, in comparison, it was never her fault.

There was a slight movement coming from the bed inside the room. Nan Zhi gently turned to her side, supporting her belly.

Jin Si Nian, who had been tensely watching for any movement outside the door, instantly reacted, quickly pushed the door open and rushed in, squatting down by the bedside, his voice panicked and anxious: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Nan Zhi woke up, one hand steadily supporting her heavy belly, and stammered softly, "Baby... baby is kicking me."

Jin Si Nian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down a little. It was only seven months into the pregnancy, and for a moment just now he almost panicked, thinking that he was going to give birth prematurely.

He gently placed his hand on her warm belly, his voice soft and coaxing: "Be a good boy, little one, don't keep bothering Mommy, it makes Mommy uncomfortable."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a powerful kick suddenly came from beneath his palm, and Jin Si Nian clearly felt the little guy's strong movement.

Nan Zhi looked down at her belly, which was bulging from her pajamas, and muttered in a daze, "Are they... fighting inside my belly?"

Twins have a smaller uterine cavity, and the two little ones often touch and play with each other, so their fetal movements are more frequent and stronger than those of a singleton.

Jin Si Nian immediately put on a stern face and solemnly instructed the belly, "You brat, don't cause trouble, don't bully our little girl, and definitely don't kick Mommy!"

Nan Zhi was both amused and exasperated by his confident demeanor. This man was adamant that he was definitely carrying a daughter. She tentatively asked in a low voice, "What if... what if there are no daughters, and it's all... all boys..."

"There's no such 'what if'," Jin Nian interrupted her directly, then pressed his entire cheek against her soft belly, quietly feeling the baby's movements.

Nan Zhi said no more, everything would be clear on the day of delivery.

Jin Si Nian pressed his face against her belly, carefully feeling the rising and falling fetal movements below. Ever since the little one first kicked Nan Zhi, he would come over and listen several times a day.

Nan Zhi was truly puzzled; what was so worth listening to repeatedly?

He gently lifted the loose nightgown and placed soft, tender kisses on the round belly. But as he kissed, his movements gradually moved downwards, and his breathing became heavier.

Nan Zhi quickly reached out and pressed his head down, frantically trying to dissuade him: "No, no!"

Jin Si Nian peeked out from behind the clothesline, a mischievous yet aggrieved smile in his eyes: "Can't I even get close to the baby?"

"Once you've safely delivered the two little ones, you'll have to make it up to me."

Nan Zhi frowned, her eyes filled with reproach, and stammered as she advised him, "You, you should, restrain yourself a little."

Jin Nian leaned close to her, propping himself up on one hand on the bed, and complained, "Wasn't I restrained enough?"

"I've been much more well-behaved lately and haven't come here by myself in a long time."

"I want your help, but you always avoid me."

These words made Nan Zhi's cheeks burn bright red. She was both ashamed and angry, and she couldn't even finish her sentence: "You... keep your voice down, don't... let the baby hear."

"They're too young to understand any of this," Kings said, completely unconcerned, determined to renege on his promise. "Regardless, you have to agree to this compensation."

Nan Zhi couldn't resist him, and asked in a low voice, "Then... what... what kind of compensation do you want?"

Jin Si Nian leaned down slightly, brought his ear close, and whispered two words: "Let's do it at a hotel!"

Haven't been there for a long time.

The scalding breath swept across her earlobe, and Nan Zhi's earlobes instantly turned bright red.

Seeing her blushing and nowhere to hide, Jin Si Nian teased her, "Why are you still so easily embarrassed? Our baby is about to be born, what's there to be shy about?"

Nan Zhi kept her head down and whispered, barely audible, "This...this matter...we'll talk about it later."

Seeing her vague refusals, Jin Si Nian felt wronged. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, his lips gently rubbing against her delicate earlobe. The light, soft bites made Nan Zhi tremble uncontrollably.

Nan Zhi twisted her body, pushed him away by pressing her hand against his chest, and glared at him with a hint of reproach in her wet eyes.

He slightly restrained his excessive little movements, but his lips remained sticky on her cheek like a leech, his warm breath showering all over her skin.

Nan Zhi turned her face away, stammering as she tried to change the subject and break the awkward atmosphere: "Let's... let's talk about something serious."

"Are you really not going back to the old house for Chinese New Year this year?"

He used to go back, and he would take her with him.

This year, I'm really just living my own life.
