  Before Ding Mengya could finish speaking, Zhuang Nainai had suddenly interrupted her.

  She looked at Ding Mengya intently. “You should just stay here. Although I am still two months away from my due date, having twins is rather dangerous and I have to be prepared for labor any time now. If you stay here, I will have someone to look after me.”


  As soon as she said this, everyone in the room became silent suddenly.

  Everyone looked at her intently in disbelief.

  Not knowing what to say, Ding Mengya only felt her eyes sting. She wanted to reject Zhuang Nainai’s offer, but she could not saying anything upon seeing her bump.

  Only God knew how lonely she was, how much she wished that her two grandchildren could accompany her once they were born and that she could continue staying in the Si residence.

  After the first day of the Chinese New Year, she told herself that she should leave them. However, she could not bear to leave, so she just kept finding excuses to stay for another day, just another day.

  On the second day of the Chinese New Year, she made up another excuse to stay. Then, the cycle repeated itself on the third day, and then the fourth day…… until today.

  Initially, she had thought that Zhuang Nainai would surely be relieved when she heard that she would be leaving. However, she did not expect her to not only ask her to stay but also to come up with reasons for her to stay.

  Taking in a deep breath, Ding Mengya looked at Si Zhengting, full of expectations. Then, he said, “Nainai is right. I can only have peace of mind when you stay here.”


  ―


  Ultimately, Ding Mengya could not bear to leave. Hence, she stayed.

  After having dinner together, Si Zhengting brought Zhuang Nainai upstairs to have an early rest.

  They entered the bedroom. Just as Zhuang Nainai was about to take off her clothes, she sensed an odd gaze. Thus, she turned around, only to see Si Zhengting staring at her intently.

  She lowered her head and looked at herself immediately.

  Her baby bump was very big and she did not really look good in maternity clothes. However, she still dressed up neatly. Thereafter, she touched her face. “Is there something on my face?”


  Si Zhengting shook his head and stepped forward. He hugged her from behind and whispered into her ear. “Nainai……”


  His voice was very deep, and it carried intense and complicated feelings.

  When she heard this voice, Zhuang Nainai’s heart settled. She acknowledged him and knew that he was doing this surely because she had asked Madam Ding to stay just now, which made him happy. She turned to look at Si Zhengting before she said with wide-open eyes, “You are not allowed to thank me. We are husband and wife.”


  Si Zhengting nodded.

  Zhuang Nainai grinned immediately and said, “But you must treat me better from now on. My legs feel rather sore from walking around the whole day~”


  Her coy voice, coupled with her especially crafty gaze, made it impossible for one to reject her. Hence, Si Zhengting brought her to the couch beside them, folded her pants, and massaged her legs with both of his hands.

  However, Zhuang Nainai’s gaze was fixed on her legs and she even frowned.

  Watching her, Si Zhengting felt his heart sink. Could it be that Nainai was regretting her decision? But Nainai was pregnant right now. If she didn’t want to live with Madam Ding, then he would just send Madam Ding overseas to look for Si Jingyu. He would also be less worried if the two of them were together. Just as he thought of this, he heard Zhuang Nainai say, “Sigh. It seems like my legs became fatter, right?”


  Si Zhengting: “.……!!”


  As Zhuang Nainai’s bump was getting really big, she just stayed home instead of going to work during this period.

  Two days flew by quickly. The night was very dark and windy. They had agreed to meet Hu Zi at Tugou Village on the outskirts of Beijing’s Fifth Ring Road.

  The entire Tugou Village had been demolished. In the day, the construction team would carry out construction work. At night, they would be resting, so the place was very tranquil.
