Although Shen Yunjin had agreed to Shen Zhencai's request, he did not want to make things difficult for Nanzhi.
She didn't want to get married, but he proposed having children, which was really going too far.
Therefore, he needs to ask for her opinion, and if she is unwilling, then they can discuss it again later.
At that time, it wouldn't be a problem to find a child from an orphanage and make them a member of the Shen family.
Seeing his anxious expression, as if he was afraid she would be angry, Nan Zhi slowly smiled and said, "Shen Yunjin, actually I'm... pregnant."
Shen Yunjin, who was kissing her, froze as if struck by lightning.
He stared at her in disbelief, and it took him a long time to find his voice before his gaze fell on her lower abdomen.
It is indeed a bit rounder than before.
He thought it was because she was living too well after leaving him.
So she was pregnant?
His voice was hoarse, "When did you get pregnant?"
"The time I took Chinese medicine."
Nanzhi's voice was calm.
Shen Yunjin was stunned again; he had actually already guessed it.
But hearing her say it, he felt no joy at all; his heart pounded so hard it hurt.
He quickly got off her, wanting to touch her but not daring to, feeling extremely awkward and nervous.
It turns out she was pregnant so early.
He was like a fool, knowing nothing at all.
During this period, they even "bullied" her so many times.
His eyes reddened, overwhelmed with guilt. "I'm sorry, I..."
He didn't know what to say; his voice grew hoarse, and even his breathing seemed bitter and frustrated.
Nanzhi was touched by his appearance, but also found it amusing.
She stroked his face, leaned in and kissed his lips. "Do you feel sorry?"
Shen Yunjin gave a hesitant "hmm".
“It’s easy for me to forgive you.” Nan Zhi stroked his lips and smiled slyly. “Just call me ‘stepmother,’ and I’ll forgive you.”
Shen Yunjin was still feeling sad, but upon hearing this, her pupils dilated instantly.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Nanzhi urged, "Yes, call out."
He pursed his lips: "Why do you call me that?"
Nanzhi chuckled: "Don't you think this is exciting?"
Shen Yunjin narrowed his eyes: "Zhizhi, you've gone astray."
Nan Zhi smiled and said, "I learned it from you."
If it were before, Shen Yunjin might have taught her a lesson about what true "badness" really meant if he had heard her say that.
But at this moment, he knew that she was saying that on purpose so that he wouldn't feel so guilty.
He buried his face in her neck, nuzzled her neck, and pleaded, "Zhizhi, shall we get married?"
He couldn't let her be nameless and ridiculed.
Nan Zhi lowered her gaze slightly, reached out and put her arm around his shoulder, gently saying, "I don't want to go back to the Marshal's Mansion, nor do I want to have it notarized."
Shen Yunjin was overjoyed to know that she had agreed and said, "Okay, we won't go back, we won't announce it, we'll have the wedding quietly, okay?"
Nanzhi gave a soft "hmm".
Shen Yunjin's eyes reddened even more. He dressed her and took out an exquisite little gift box from his coat pocket.
Nanzhi watched curiously as he opened the box. Inside was a very beautiful watch with a bright green dial that shone brilliantly under the light.
"I bought this today. I thought it would suit you perfectly the moment I saw it. Do you like it?"
Nan Zhi nodded, her eyes gentle. "I like it."
"Here, let me put it on you." Shen Yunjin took out the watch, took her hand, and put it on her wrist.
Her skin was very fair, and the green color made it appear even fairer, like the finest mutton fat jade, making her whole body glow.
Shen Yunjin stroked her small hand affectionately, "Do you prefer a Chinese-style or a Western-style wedding?"
"Chinese style".
"Okay." Shen Yunjin gently hugged her, not daring to use too much force. He lowered his eyes and kissed the top of her head, then asked her, "What kind of house do you like? I'll go see one tomorrow."
He had heard that pregnancy was very difficult for women, so he didn't dare let her go with him.
Nan Zhi laughed and said, "I'm not a porcelain doll, I can go with them."
"No, it will be too tiring..."
"I'm tired, Young Marshal, you can carry me."
Nan Zhi remained composed, while Shen Yunjin felt increasingly guilty.
He kissed her forehead. "You must tell me if you feel unwell."
"Understood, Young Marshal."
Shen Yunjin hugged her for a while longer, not daring to touch her, only daring to kiss her lips and touch her little face.
Even with just these simple touches, his body's reaction changed very noticeably.
He seemed stiff and unwell, pretending to be nonchalant despite his obvious discomfort. Nanzhi said, "Actually, I'm fine..."
"No." Shen Yunjin didn't know before, but now that she does, she absolutely refuses.
Seeing his stubbornness, Nanzhi had no choice but to give up.
She nestled in his arms, listening to his heartbeat, which was faster than usual, and her heart gradually calmed down.
Nan Zhi didn't even know when she fell asleep.
She usually sleeps better when Shen Yunjin is around.
In a daze, Nanzhi felt that he had gotten up in the middle of the night. She didn't know where he went, but she felt that he had a fresh fragrance when he came back. It was very familiar, like the smell of hotel shower gel.
Nanzhi didn't regain consciousness until after 9 a.m. on the second day.
She felt a pair of eyes staring at her. After regaining her senses, she groggily opened her eyes and saw a familiar handsome face.
Shen Yunjin was staring at her intently.
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she couldn't help but touch them. "Didn't you sleep last night?"
"I can't sleep."
He was so excited.
Three parts joy, three parts sorrow, and four parts guilt.
"Then you should get some sleep now."
"It's alright, I'm feeling great right now." Shen Yunjin helped her get out of bed and personally put on her slippers. "Are you hungry? Should I have the front desk bring breakfast up?"
In fact, Shen Yunjin had wanted to go down and ask about breakfast earlier, but he was afraid that if he left, Nanzhi would be scared if she woke up and couldn't see him.
So I stayed with her the whole time.
"Breakfast is probably gone by now, let's go out to eat."
Nan Zhi went into the restroom, and Shen Yunjin followed her in like a little shadow.
"Watch out, the floor is slippery!"
"Watch out, you might bump into it!"
Seeing how worried he was about her, Nanzhi smiled helplessly: "Young Marshal, I need to use the restroom, do you want to see me too?"
Shen Yunjin said without batting an eye, "You go ahead, I promise I won't watch you."
"No," Nanzhi pushed him away, "You won't be able to finish on me."
Shen Yunjin didn't want to leave: "No, there are too many dangerous things in here. I won't feel at ease if I don't keep an eye on you..."
Nan Zhi's expression was serious: "Does the young marshal know that the pregnant woman's feelings are the most important? If you make the pregnant woman unhappy, the baby in her belly will also be unhappy. If they are both unhappy, then something terrible will happen."
Shen Yunjin was startled and immediately went outside, but leaving the door open was his limit.
Nanzhi had no choice but to comply.
