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

Jin Si Nian looked dejected. Nan Zhi, seeing his slightly downcast appearance, felt a pang of emotion. She gently grasped his warm hand and asked softly, "Where...where's my gift?"

A simple sentence instantly dispelled all the gloom surrounding Jin Si Nian.

His eyes suddenly lit up, like a child who had been comforted, a subtle joy welling up in them, and he quickly replied, "Yes, of course."

I just picked it up today.

He released his arms from her waist and took out a delicate little black jewelry box from his inner pocket.

The box is simply made, without any elaborate or luxurious decorations, which is quite different from the high-end gift boxes he usually gives out.

With a gentle lift of my fingertips, I revealed a necklace lying quietly on a black velvet cushion.

Unlike the extravagant and dazzling haute couture jewelry of the past, this necklace has a much more understated design and a more everyday style.

It's kind of funny...

Jin Nian raised his hand, went around her slender neck, and patiently put the necklace on her. His fingertips inadvertently brushed against the delicate skin of her neck as he gently fastened the necklace.

"You never liked wearing the ones I gave you before." His deep voice echoed in the quiet room, tinged with a hint of helplessness. "You always said the styles were too big and too flashy, and it felt awkward to wear them out."

"I've never seen you wear it even once since I bought it."

At this point, the man, who was usually decisive and composed in the business world, had a faint blush creeping onto his ears and a youthful rosy blush rising on his face.

He held Nan Zhi's small hand tightly, his tone tinged with trepidation and unease: "I made this myself, Zhi Zhi, you mustn't dislike it."

Nan Zhi lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the pendant at her collarbone. The pendant had a rounded shape, and a bright sapphire was set in the eye area.

To be honest, the size is still not small; it's still quite large.

However, compared to the gifts he gave before, this was already a much more restrained amount.

She gently stroked the pendant with her fingertips, a faint smile playing on her lips, and stammered with curiosity, "Why... is it a duck?"

Looking closely, it doesn't seem to be a duck. Duck feathers aren't this long; it looks more like a peacock.

But peacocks aren't this fat.

Upon hearing this, Jin Si Nian's face instantly turned red, both angry and embarrassed. He stubbornly retorted, "This is not a duck."

"It's a swan!"

Nan Zhi blinked, looked down and examined the pendant around her neck repeatedly, then looked up at the serious-looking man. She silently complained to herself, looking at it from all angles, but she just couldn't associate this round little thing with an elegant swan.

It's clearly a duck.

The obvious confusion in her eyes was clear at a glance.

Jin Si Nian felt increasingly embarrassed by her direct gaze. He tightened his grip on her hand and stubbornly emphasized again and again, "Zhi Zhi, it really is a swan, not a duck."

Even he himself didn't believe it when he said that.

I can only explain again.

"I spent a long time carving based on the reference image, reworking it several times. It was carved entirely by hand according to the shape of a swan."

But when I received it, this is what it looked like.

He's going to give that jewelry company a bad review tomorrow!

When he received it today, he asked his assistant Zhang if it looked like a swan.

Zhang Li said it looked like it.

I'll go settle the score with him tomorrow.

Nan Zhi looked at his serious expression and thought, "Okay~_~"

If he says it's a swan, then it's a swan!

He made it himself; I appreciate the sentiment.

Although it's chubby, and it was clearly modeled after a swan when it was made, does the finished product mean it's not a duck, or a peacock?

In any case, we can't be associated with swans.

"Zhizhi, do you like it?" The man looked at her nervously, and it seemed that Zhizhi didn't like it very much.

He can make another one for Zhizhi.

Just as his large hand was about to touch the bizarre duck-shaped necklace around her neck, Nan Zhi quickly covered it.

"You, you gave it to me."

"It's mine... do you... do you want it back?"

Jin Nian remained determined to take it off: "I'll make a new one for Zhi Zhi, I'll definitely make a swan."

"No, that's not necessary."

Nan Zhi curved her lips into a soft smile, looked up at the awkward and clumsy man in front of her: "I...I like it very much."

Five simple words instantly soothed all of Jin Si Nian's embarrassment and unease.

His eyes darkened, and a surge of intense emotion welled up in his chest, which he could no longer contain.

He leaned down slightly, cupped the back of her neck with his palm, and kissed her.

A long, deep kiss swept over him, carrying his unique, cool scent.

His broad, warm hands naturally embraced her slender waist, pulling her tightly into his arms.

The room was silent, save for the intertwined breathing of the two and the sound of their kisses, as an ambiguous atmosphere quietly blossomed.

After a long while, Jin Si Nian slowly opened her reddened lips, and a thin strand of saliva appeared between them. Nan Zhi's face turned even redder.

The man pressed his nose against hers, lazily and greedily nuzzling her warm cheek, his breathing heavy and his voice low and husky.

As his agitation subsided, he suppressed the possessiveness surging within him and turned to the important matter at hand. His fingertips gently caressed her waist as he softly asked, "Have you been taking your medicine obediently lately?"

For this reason, he had been following the prescription of the old Chinese medicine doctor Pei and drinking the decoction to reduce internal heat every day for a while.

Try not to think about those things, and recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra every day and night.

He had a beautiful woman in his arms, but he couldn't touch her or eat her.

He could only watch; if it were before, he would have pounced on her without hesitation.

But not now!

Zhizhi has a weak constitution and has difficulty conceiving. She needs to calmly recuperate and improve her health. Let's wait until Zhizhi is in better shape before trying again!

He could only restrain himself and wait patiently.

Nan Zhi nodded obediently, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Mmm."

The prescribed medication was good for her pregnancy, and she asked the doctor if there were any major problems.

It's just some nourishing food; she really needs some since she's pregnant with twins.

Upon hearing this, Jin Si Nian felt a sense of relief, tightened his arms to hold her firmly in his embrace, and said gently, "I'll go with you to your next follow-up appointment."

After a moment's pause, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, all his domineering and obstinate nature gone, leaving only tenderness and affection. He whispered, "My dear, happy birthday."

Speaking of birthdays, Nan Zhi remembered something and grabbed Jin Si Nian's hand: "Let's... go cut the cake!"

Cut the cake!

Has Zhizhi not cut the cake he bought yet?

Jin Si Nian was taken aback, his eyes filled with fervor as he looked at the girl in his arms: "Hasn't Zhi Zhi cut the cake yet?"

He came back so late, and Zhizhi hadn't even cut the cake.

We're waiting for him to come back so we can cut it together.

Nan Zhi got up from his return and took his hand: "Let's go..."

"No, didn't we say we'd cut it together when you got back?"

Jin Nian followed her downstairs, and Pink Swan took out some candles from the refrigerator and lit them: "Child, make a wish quickly."

Nan Zhi closed her eyes. Actually, she didn't have any wishes; she just wanted to leave this place, but it seemed that she didn't need to make a wish.

She will leave in two months.

Kings, you're not the only one who can back out now.

After making a wish, Nan Zhi held the knife and Jin Si Nian held her hand as they cut the cake.

Before even eating, Jin Si Nian smeared some cream on Nan Zhi's face, his eyes filled with love: "Zhi Zhi, happy birthday."

He's made up his mind for this year's birthday: he'll wish to celebrate Zhizhi's birthday with her every year.
