"Heh——" Zhang Shanni abruptly sat up, taking several heavy breaths, her mind unsettled as she touched her inflating belly under the dim light, instinctively glancing at the empty bed beside her.
She picked up the watch from the table and checked the time, 3 AM!
The background in her dream had truly frightened her.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, it was only after her heart had calmed that she got out of bed to go to the bathroom for her physiological needs.
The next day, Zhang Shanni appeared in front of the Xie Family looking extremely pale.
Five more days had passed since Xie Jingchen’s last visit.
It might be because she was living in the county town, which was closer to Tanning Temple, that she had started to faintly hear the groaning of the peach tree over the past two days!
Unfortunately, Tanning Temple was now sealed off by Rong Wei; not only could ordinary people not enter, but even getting close would subject them to scrutiny.
Now that she had moved away from the Rong Team to live in the county town, those petty conflicts no longer reached her.
Life was dull as water, exactly the kind that suited a pregnant woman like her.
In this half a month, aside from Qi Chunlan making a fuss once, after Yan Jinsi woke up and insisted on returning to the capital, it all fizzled out.
Speaking of which, Zhang Shanni felt quite positive about this little twin brother.
With the current level of medical science, Yan Jinsi’s illness was really troublesome.
But in Zhang Shanni’s eyes, the illness wasn’t too difficult, although it also depended on his luck.
As long as during her childbirth, the umbilical cord and his blood type matched, and if the compatibility reached ninety percent, the medicine from her space could be used to cultivate marrow factors suitable for him, and after properly nurturing him for a while, his illness would essentially be cured.
Of course, this premise was that the postpartum umbilical cord could successfully match him.
In Zhang Shanni’s view, since they were identical twins, the chance of a successful match was 99.99%.
Moreover, with the medicine she secretly fed him through her husband, and the considerable amount of Level 3 Superpower Water he drank, his disease could remain stable for a while.
Unfortunately, her goodwill, as seen by Qi Chunlan, his birth mother, seemed, uh—people just didn’t know what she had secretly done for her brother... so, being misunderstood as ’cold-blooded, selfish’, was somewhat understandable.
However, Zhang Shanni didn’t mind her attitude.
Moreover, she wasn’t the type to boast about her good deeds until others acknowledged them.
She didn’t care for gratitude; as long as they didn’t disturb her life, it was fine.
Furthermore, with her cautious nature, her preferred approach was to quietly understand the ’human nature’ before considering whether a person was worth forming deep ties with!
Despite how Qi Chunlan might seem eager to reclaim her maternal role, Zhang Shanni could tell at a glance that she just wanted to save her own little twin brother. Later, the letter from Uncle further confirmed her thoughts.
It’s not that she thought too much; the Yan Family people, along with Tao Songjian and her own husband, who couldn’t see the urgency in Qi Chunlan’s eyes?
Honestly speaking, if it were her child, Zhang Shanni might have had the same mentality as Qi Chunlan.
People’s fingers vary in length, and naturally, so do their hearts. This is a fact, things and people are always this realistic.
Driven by Qi Chunlan’s focus entirely on her sick child, Zhang Shanni didn’t harbor any spare thoughts.
To her, the Yan Family was merely bound by blood ties; there was no emotional depth between them, hence no pain or sorrow either.
Her open emotional declarations were only meant for her own husband.
