Shi Jinyan looked very worn out . His face was rather pale and his dark circles were present . Like a zombie, he looked like all the energy had been sucked out of him . He looked somber as usual . Under the gold-rimmed glasses, his dark eyes could not be read .
Upon seeing Zhuang Nainai, he nodded out of courtesy before staring at the second floor . After a pause, he asked, “Is she okay?”
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips and said, “Her fever isn’t going down, but it isn’t life-threatening, so don’t worry . ”
After hearing this, Shi Jinyan nodded .
Zhuang Nainai did not say anything else as she glanced upstairs . She asked, “I’ll go and ask Sister if she’d allow you to visit her upstairs . ”

Shi Jinyan nodded again . “Thank you . ”
Zhuang Nainai sighed .
Although she was very furious, outsiders like her did not have the full picture of the matters between them . Since she did not have the full picture, she didn’t have the right to criticize him, did she?
Zhuang Nainai headed upstairs and opened the door to Si Jingyu’s room . The smell of medication assaulted her nostrils, causing her to frown before walking in .
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Si Jingyu opened her eyes, only to see Zhuang Nainai trying her best to force out a smile for her .
Zhuang Nainai said, “Brother-in-law is here . Do you want him to come up?”

Si Jingyu paused for a moment before shaking her head . “Ask about the child’s condition and then ask him to leave . ”
Zhuang Nainai acknowledged her words and went out . Just then, she saw Shi Jinyan looking up longingly . His demeanor was still calm, but Zhuang Nainai could see the eagerness in him .
She had always thought that this man had an aura that could not be put into words . He always seemed to possess a poised demeanor no matter what was thrown at him, as if nothing was capable of changing his emotions .
However, Zhuang Nainai could clearly see his love for Si Jingyu from his eagerness right now .
Zhuang Nainai headed downstairs . Shi Jinyan looked at her with pursed lips .

Zhuang Nainai said, “Sister said that she doesn’t want to see you . ”
Disappointment flashed across Shi Jinyan’s eyes . He raised his head and stared at the second floor intently . After staring for a while, he finally looked down and nodded at Zhuang Nainai . “Thanks for the trouble . ”
Zhuang Nainai: “…”
“She is Si Zhengting’s sister, which makes her my family . You don’t have to thank me for the trouble . ” Zhuang Nainai could not help but bash him . Sister is such a nice person, but why is her man so problematic?
After hearing this, Shi Jinyan looked up and glanced at Zhuang Nainai . Perhaps he felt guilty toward Si Jingyu . He nodded and simply left without saying anything else .
At the thought of Sister’s words, Zhuang Nainai called out to him hurriedly, “Hey! Sister wants me to ask, how is the child doing now?”
Shi Jinyan looked back . “He still has a fever . Last night… Never mind . ”
He had wanted to come here last night, but Xin Xin’s fever was not going down . With his tiny face flushed red from the fever, he lay in the small ward while calling for his mom and dad drowsily, causing Shi Jinyan to not be able to leave .
However, what’s the use of explaining all these things now?
Bitterness flashed across Shi Jinyan’s eyes as he turned around and left .
Perhaps they did need a break . He also needed to settle certain matters before talking to her .
