Nan Wan looked at her with hurt in her eyes. She pursed her lips, turned around, and was about to leave.
Nanzhi called out to her.
"Second sister, don't go."
Nan Zhi stood up and pulled Shen Huaixu to the door.
"Why is Second Sister here?"
Nan Wan squatted down and reached out to pick up the broken porcelain bottle from the ground. "I heard that my sister got drunk last night, and I thought you might have a headache this morning, so I brought some honey over. You can drink some if you feel unwell, but it all fell on the ground and got dirty."
Her voice grew softer as she spoke, whether she was heartbroken that she hadn't brought the honey to Nanzhi or upset to see her sister and brother-in-law being so intimate.
"Second sister is so thoughtful." Nanzhi walked over, squatted down, and picked up the broken pieces on the ground with her.
Nan Wan was momentarily stunned to see that she was willing to pick them up with her.
Nanzhi didn't notice when she picked it up, and the shards cut her hand, causing blood to quickly seep out.
She pressed it down nonchalantly.
"Sis, are you bleeding?"
"I'm fine." Nan Zhi hid her hands in her sleeves and pushed Shen Huaixu next to Nan Wan.
"The weather is so nice today, why don't you two go for a walk?"
Shen Huaixu subconsciously looked at her, but she only slightly curled her lips, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Nan Wan was somewhat surprised and didn't understand why Nan Zhi did this.
Nan Zhi smiled and didn't explain, "Go ahead."
"...Sis, aren't you going?"
Nanzhi yawned: "I'm a little sleepy, I want to go back and catch up on my sleep."
"You can go ahead." She waved her hand, turned around, and went into the house.
Nan Wan couldn't understand what Nan Zhi meant for a moment.
She stared blankly at Shen Huaixu.
But he didn't notice her; instead, he looked at Nanzhi's hand hidden in her sleeve.
It's just a minor injury, it should be fine, so why does he seem a little worried?
Could it be that he has fallen in love with Nan Zhi?
Nan Wan frowned, then smiled and approached him: "Let's go."
Shen Huaixu didn't understand where his irritation came from, and he silently followed Nan Wan away.
On the way, Nan Wan kept trying to find topics to chat with Shen Huaixu, but Shen Huaixu didn't react much.
"Brother Shen, where would you like to go for a walk? How about my yard? I have a few orchids that have recently bloomed. Hey, Brother Shen..."
Nan Wan was stunned as she watched Shen Huaixu walk towards his own room.
Shen Huaixu stood at the door without turning around, and said coldly, "Miss Nan, I am now your brother-in-law. Please watch your words and learn to avoid suspicion from me."
Nan Wan choked.
As she looked at the closed door, the gentleness in her eyes gradually faded.
Women are so perceptive; she clearly sensed the difference in how Shen Huaixu treated Nanzhi.
Nan Zhi treated him so badly, how could he still...
That evening, just as Nanzhi was about to have dinner, she saw Shen Huaixu walk in.
She was a little surprised: "Didn't you go out with Nan Wan? I thought you would eat at her place?"
"I promised to cooperate well with you for the next six months."
He was very sparing with his words.
Nanzhi understood.
This means he won't have any contact with Nan Wan for the next six months.
Nanzhi said with some regret, "But this might upset my second sister. What if she gives up on you all...?"
"Miss, why don't you eat first?"
Shen Huaixu interrupted her and put some food on her plate.
His gaze unconsciously drifted to her fingers.
The bleeding from the finger I injured during the day has stopped, but it wasn't bandaged, and the wound is a bit long.
He unconsciously looked up into her eyes.
Upon closer inspection, he was slightly taken aback.
Nanzhi's eyes were slightly swollen, as if she had been crying...
Because he and Nan Wan went for a walk, that's why?
He pursed his thin lips slightly.
Nan Zhi read a short angst novel called "Torture" in the system's online store, never expecting that her red eyes from crying would cause Shen Huaixu to misunderstand.
She also reached out and put some food on Shen Huaixu's plate.
"You should eat more too."
She gave him a warm smile.
Shen Huaixu pursed his thin lips even tighter.
That night, as soon as Nanzhi lay down in bed, Shen Huaixu followed suit.
Is he so eager to save Mo Yu, or is he eager to divorce and be with Nan Wan?
I think they all have them.
She was too lazy to think about it, and just lay there lazily. "I don't want to take the initiative tonight, you do it."
It's exhausting to be proactive every day.
The surroundings remained silent for a long time, so long that Nan Zhi thought Shen Huaixu was unwilling.
So long that she was almost asleep when she suddenly felt the blanket being pulled off by a force, and the belt around her waist slipped off.
With her eyes closed, she felt a hand slowly unbuttoning her clothes, finally gripping her waist.
Without any prelude, she let out a slightly uncomfortable hum.
That fellow was surprisingly much gentler.
Later, the unbearable feeling disappeared. She half-opened her eyes and looked at the canopy above her head, feeling as if she had turned into a pool of water, constantly swaying and rocking, warm and comfortable.
For the next two months, Shen Huaixu was very attentive and took excellent care of her every night.
When she had her period, he would help warm her stomach.
Nanzhi didn't rush to exchange for the triplets' potion in order to accumulate more points for her children later.
She would occasionally take Shen Huaixu to see Moyu, and seeing that Moyu was getting better every day, Shen Huaixu's attitude towards her also improved a lot.
What puzzled Shen Huaixu was why Nanzhi never went into the clinic with him, and why she always disappeared after they came out.
That day, when Shen Huaixu came out again after looking at the black jade, he did not see Nan Zhi, but instead saw Nan Wan in the jewelry store across the street.
Nan Wan seems to be being harassed by a young nobleman.
