Feng Nianian’s face changed too quickly, turning pale at once. After all, she was a pregnant woman, and the driver was startled and got nervous: "Are you okay?"

Feng Nianian stared at him and realized that she was overly tense. She took a deep breath and smiled at the driver: "It’s okay, drive on."

The driver responded and glanced at her through the rearview mirror a few more times, sensing indeed she seemed fine, he finally relaxed.

During the half-hour car ride, Feng Nianian looked at the scenery outside the car, but her mood was not as calm as her appearance suggested.

She had already been feeding Duan Sishu the medicine for half a month. The medicine needed about six months, and if calculated based on time, it would coincide with her due date.

She made careful preparations. The timing was calculated, and when buying medicine, she was extremely cautious, never purchasing from the same place twice, so she only had to wait for half a year. In just half a year, she could completely rid herself of Duan Sishu’s burden.

And by that time, even if the Duan Family disliked Duan Sishu, he was still a part of the Duan Family. If she played her cards right, she couldn’t believe the men in the Duan Family would be so heartless as to push her away.

Thinking about how she could also receive the protection of the Duan Family like Jiaojiao, Feng Nianian couldn’t help but feel happier.

When Jiang Xun’s call came through, she was all smiles, her voice sugary sweet: "Hello, honey."

"Mom is asking when you will come back?" Jiang Xun asked coldly from the other side. He actually didn’t want to make this call at all, but Ma Yinyin ordered him to do so.

Since Feng Nianian returned to her mother’s house for the New Year, she hadn’t been back to the Jiang Family. Ma Yinyin, who had always loved her, now cared even more because of the grandchild in her belly, so she commanded Jiang Xun to make the call.

Upon hearing Jiang Xun’s question, Feng Nianian acted as if she couldn’t hear the impatience and coldness in his tone, still responding sweetly: "Honey, my mom’s health has been poor recently. I want to stay with her for another half month, and then I’ll go back. Please tell mom for me."

"..." On the other end of the phone, Jiang Xun paused, unsure whether he was distracted or pondering something. After a few seconds, he simply replied: "Got it, hanging up."

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.

Listening to the beep of the phone, Feng Nianian’s gaze turned cold. A few seconds later, she let out a mocking laugh, as if recalling something, her gaze became even colder.

When Feng Nianian returned to the place where Duan Sishu lived, Duan Sishu was in the living room looking at his phone, while the specially hired cooking aunt in the kitchen was preparing food.

Although Duan Sishu had been married for over twenty years, she never did any housework, whether at her mother’s house or her husband’s. After Duan Qianyang arranged her here, even though she couldn’t do anything, she never tried to do housework herself. Previously, Feng Nianian would coax her, so she did the cooking and cleaning.

Now that she’s married into the Jiang Family and pregnant, she certainly can’t do these chores anymore, but Duan Sishu, spoiled since childhood, also didn’t want to do them. Several times at the Jiang Family, seeing they had a housekeeper, she’d indirectly compare herself, and Ma Yinyin, being understanding, originally felt Jiang Xun owed Feng Nianian. Hearing this, she hired a Gu Family housekeeper for Duan Sishu.

Until now, this Gu Family housekeeper had been working at Duan Sishu’s for almost three months.
