Hearing that he really wanted to share the work with her, Nan Yingzhi decisively changed the proverb and nodded.

Like a tour guide, she politely welcomed Yun Ji's humble attitude and the desire to personally cook the raw meat: "When a husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can cut through metal. Welcome to join us in the cooking."

The two of them worked together and the ingredients were quickly cooked, put into plates and served on the table.

Having learned from the last time when Yun Ji vomited due to being half full, Nan Yingzhi not only ate with him, but also asked him to put down the bamboo sticks from time to time to check whether he was full or not.

Touching his swollen abdomen, Yun Ji insisted: "I can eat more."

"No," Nan Yingzhi reached out and gently touched his round belly, "Your belly is as round as a ball, doesn't that mean you are full? You will feel bloated if you eat more?"

"But," Yun Ji burped unintentionally and covered his mouth in embarrassment, "there's still a lot left on the plate, and I don't want to waste it."

"No problem," Nan Yingzhi, who often used small things to win people's hearts, waved her sleeves and said, "You can share it with the servants."

Shaking his head, Yun Ji pretended to continue eating: "This is made by you, you can't give it to them."

“Hey, don’t,” Nan Yingzhi snatched the skewer from his hand, not daring to pause, and stuffed it directly into her mouth, speaking vaguely, “I’ll eat it.”

After she had quickly cleaned up several skewers of grilled food, as expected, she had a round belly.

“Ah,” Nan Yingzhi looked at Yunji’s belly, then at her own belly, and realized that his belly was much bigger than hers, “Yours seems to be rounder.

"Tell me the truth, have you been secretly eating snacks without telling me?"

Ever since Yun Ji could accept the food brought by Nan Yi, Nan Yingzhi had been paying close attention to whether he was greedy and overeating.

Knowing that eating too much and gaining weight during pregnancy may cause difficult labor, Yun Ji strictly follows Nan Yi's standards and does not exceed the daily limit even though she misses the heavy food that Nan Yi brings.

"No way," he said, feeling a little wronged. "I follow your rules every day, Lan Fu can testify to that."

Lan Fu, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, spoke up decisively when she heard Nan Yingzhi ask, "Lan Fu, is that so?"

"Yes, the young lady has always listened to you and did not eat too many of the plums that the general brought."

After getting the confirmation, Nan Yingzhi was puzzled: "Then why is your belly so round? Obviously, you shouldn't be so pregnant at this moment..."

"Little Gardenia, don't worry." He held her fingertips that were about to pinch her brow with one hand, and with his other hand, he placed his hand on her abdomen as if to comfort her. "Council member Li said that it might be twins."

"Twins?" Nan Yingzhi was shocked. She had never expected that he was pregnant with two babies. "So, you have two babies in your belly?"

Originally, he was worried that she would think twins were a bad omen, but when Yun Ji saw her surprised expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It should be."

Feeling that fate came too suddenly, Nan Yingzhi’s mind was dizzy and she stood up suddenly.

Hearing Yun Ji nervously ask "What's wrong?", she waved her hand to tell him not to panic, and stuttered: "It's okay, I'm just too excited, calm down, calm down."

Seeing her pacing back and forth until she was almost dizzy, Yun Ji finally stopped and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

After letting out a long breath, Nan Yingzhi stopped where she was and nodded at him, at the same time concerned about whether his emotions had fluctuated: "I think I've calmed down, how about you?"

Yun Ji stated straightforwardly: "Since I can tell you this information without changing my expression, doesn't it prove that I have already accepted it?"

Faintly sensing that he was a bit disgusted with her for losing control of her emotions, Nan Yingzhi couldn't help but ask him what he was really thinking at that time: "Were you also so calm when you heard Dean Li's judgment?"

Recalling his own moment of anxiety and then calming down, Yun Ji said softly, "I wasn't as excited as you."

Nan Yingzhi admitted defeat: "It is true that you are more receptive than me."

Feeling that what she said was true, Yun Ji nodded silently: "After all, no matter what they are like, they all have your blood flowing through them, how can I not accept it?"

Thinking about the troubles of having twins, Nan Yingzhi bent down and looked him in the eye: "Did Judge Li tell me how to protect the pregnancy?"

"He told me to eat healthy food, move more and stay in bed less,"

Yun Ji spread his hands, indicating that he did not disobey the doctor's advice on purpose, "But the weather is too cold, I think it won't be too late to go out when it's warmer."

Nan Yingzhi said with emotion: "Other people would be so distressed when they are pregnant with one child that they would cry out for their parents. But you are probably going to cry out all your ancestors for generations."

"No need to bother," Yun Ji's eyes would sing a sweet nursery rhyme if they could speak. He lowered his voice as if whispering, "Having you is enough for me."

Trying hard to ignore their sweet words, Lan Fu lowered her head, looking at her eyes and nose, and felt that it would be better for her to go out.

Not knowing her predicament, Nan Yingzhi kissed Yunji, making a crisp "bo" sound: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Hmm," Yun Ji felt his cheeks burning from her kiss. He gently pushed her away, his eyes dodging, "Lan Fu is here."

"It's okay," Nan Yingzhi pinched his snow-white skin and left a passionate mark, "She will pretend not to hear it."
