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

Dr. Zhao quickly stepped forward, bent down to help the distraught Old Liu, who was squatting on the ground, to his feet, and turned to Jin Si to report in a low voice: "Second Young Master, he is confused again. We can't agitate him any further."

Nan Zhi gently grabbed Jin Si Nian's wrist, pulling him out of the ward. Her small hand gripped his cold palm, and she stammered, "He...he just...he only recently regained consciousness."

"You shouldn't be in such a hurry... to ask about those old things."

Jin Si Nian reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace. The heavy sense of defeat in his heart dissipated slightly, and he replied softly, "I understand. Let's go home first."

We've endured so many years; the truth can only be waited for, not rushed.

As the car drove back to the villa, Jin Si Nian noticed a familiar car parked outside the gate—it was Grandma Jin's car.

An ominous premonition instantly welled up in my heart.

Pushing open the door, Grandma Jin sat upright on the living room sofa, leaning on her cane. She was dressed dignifiedly and solemnly. When she saw the two of them enter, her gaze softened considerably when it fell on Nan Zhi. She said softly, "You're back. Go upstairs to your room and rest."

Nan Zhi obediently turned and walked towards the stairs, with Jin Si Nian following closely behind, intending to go upstairs with her to find some peace and quiet.

"Stop, Si Nian, stay here," Grandma Jin said in a deep voice.

Jin Nian stopped in his tracks.

Nan Zhi stood on the steps, looking at him with concern. Jin Si Nian secretly gave her a reassuring look, secretly certain that his grandmother would not be willing to hit him while he was pregnant with twins.

He's the father of a future great-grandson, a very high-ranking person...

Grandma Jin raised her cane, as if to hit him.

Jin Si Nian quickly spoke up first: "Grandma, please think carefully before you act."

"If you hit me, Zhizhi will feel sorry for me."

"She's already quite heavy-set now, and she'll have to take care of me as well. It wouldn't be good for her two great-grandchildren to be so tired."

"Think it through before you act!"

Upon hearing the mention of Nan Zhi and the child, Old Madam Jin immediately withdrew her hand, her cane falling to the ground, and she began to scold, "You are truly outrageous!"

"Zhizhi is seven months pregnant with twins, and we still take her running around in the freezing cold."

"If I hadn't come here specifically today, I wouldn't have known you were being so willful and unreasonable."

"Now that the company is in Siwen's hands, all you do is fawn over Zhizhi and not take good care of her!"

Jin Si Nian helplessly retorted, "Grandma, how can you say it's running around?"

"She was feeling cooped up in the villa all day, so I took her out for some fresh air."

"A walk in the backyard garden is enough to get some fresh air; why go far away?"

Jin Si Nian stepped forward and helped the old woman sit down, then smoothly changed the subject: "I understand, I won't take her running around anymore."

He's already been scolded twice today.

"Grandma, why did you suddenly come here?"

Old Madam Jin sat down heavily, scolding, "Can't I even come to see my granddaughter-in-law and my two unborn great-grandchildren?"

"Looking back, it's been a long time since you've come back to visit me at the old house."

Kings coughed lightly and mumbled, "I've been swamped with trivial matters lately and haven't had a chance to get away."

"Busy? I bet you're so engrossed in your wife's sweet embrace that you forget all about home," Grandma Jin joked. If Nan Zhi were here, she would surely blush with embarrassment.

The old man picked up his teacup, his fingers tightening slightly, and his tone became more serious: "I heard from Siwen that the driver of your father's car accident has been found? Does that person know the details of what happened back then?"

Young Kings shook his head: "I arranged for someone to bring him to the hospital for treatment some time ago, but his brain was severely damaged. He is sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. Whenever I ask about the car accident from back then, he loses control of his emotions and refuses to say anything."

He doesn't plan to say much to his grandmother for now, lest she be disappointed again.

Grandma Jin nodded knowingly: "I understand. If you find any clues in the future, please let me know as soon as possible."

"Okay, I've got it. I'll take you back to your old house later."

Before leaving, Grandma Jin suddenly remembered something: "By the way, aren't you going back to the old house for the Lunar New Year this year?"

Jin Si Nian replied truthfully: "Zhi Zhi and I plan to stay at the villa for the New Year. I don't know if my older brother Si Wen will go back."

Grandma Jin waved her hand dismissively, showing no intention of forcing the issue: "If you don't want to come back, then don't. It'll save you from seeing your mother's cold face that's been there for over a decade."

"Take good care of Zhizhi, and put her and the baby in your womb first in everything."

Jin Nian solemnly nodded in agreement.

After seeing off Madam Jin, Jin Si Nian glanced up and caught sight of a small figure peeking over the railing upstairs. Noticing his gaze, the figure hurriedly shrank back and ran back to the bedroom.

He shook his head helplessly and stepped upstairs.

In the bedroom, Nan Zhi was curled up in a ball, completely wrapped in the blanket.

Jin Si Nian walked to the bedside, reached out and gently poked her soft, exposed cheek with his finger, his tone tinged with aggrieved complaint: "Grandma was about to scold me with her cane just now, but you didn't plead for me at all."

"If I hadn't reacted quickly and used you and the baby as shields, I would have been beaten to death by Grandma today."

Madam Jin: What? This is simply alarmist!

Nan Zhi slowly lifted the thin blanket covering her head, her watery eyes looking at him, her words still stammering: "You, you're talking nonsense, Grandma... she, she wouldn't really hit you."

She secretly thought to herself that if he was really seriously injured, her two little babies would be fatherless, and she would have to go out and find her second uncle.

Jin Nian chuckled softly, feigning sullenness: "You ran off so fast, I'm never taking you out again."

In just half a day, he was first nagged by his maternal grandmother and then scolded by his paternal grandmother. He was the only one being scolded, both inside and out, and he felt really wronged.

"All the criticism fell on my shoulders; I had to bear the brunt of both my maternal and paternal grandmothers' attacks alone."

Nan Zhi clutched his sleeve and said stubbornly in a low voice, "I...I just...want to go out with you."

Jin Si Nian took the opportunity to lift the covers and lie down on the bed, reaching out to pull her tightly into his arms, teasing her on purpose: "Then next time Grandma says something, I'll tell the truth, it's because you insisted on going out, then they won't just talk about me."

But in fact, Madam Jin couldn't bear to be harsh on Nan Zhi, who was pregnant with twins.

They'll just keep criticizing him!

Nan Zhi pressed her burning face tightly against his warm chest, sullenly refusing, "No, no, I want you to carry this alone."

Why?

Nan Zhi clutched the corner of the blanket: "I...I'm afraid of getting scolded..."

"You little ingrate." Jin Si Nian tightened his arms, his eyes full of indulgent and gentle smiles.
