In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband

He had barely taken two steps out when Xu Zhen turned back to remind, "Remember to come back the day after tomorrow for the return visit."

These were things that Xu Zhen, as a father, shouldn’t need to teach Xu Jinzhi, but there was no helping it. Xu Zhen had to play the role of both father and mother, so these reminders could only come from him.

"Got it," Xu Jinzhi replied.

"Leaving now," Xu Zhen said again, and this time he really didn’t linger, driving straight off after getting on the vehicle.

Once Xu Zhen had left, Old Master Xie also spoke up, "Let’s all head back. Jinzhi and Yanchuan, you two should head back as well."

They didn’t live together, so now that the wedding was over, it was time to go their separate ways.

A group of people said their goodbyes at the hotel entrance and then got into their respective vehicles to leave.

After getting into the car, Xu Jinzhi let out a deep sigh, and the smile on her face faded, replaced by a hint of exhaustion.

"Tired?" Xie Yanchuan asked tenderly.

Xu Jinzhi turned to look at Xie Yanchuan and then nodded expressionlessly, "I barely slept last night and got straight up in the morning."

Having not slept all night and having been busy for so long, Xu Jinzhi truly felt exhausted.

Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi with barely concealed distress, reaching out to cradle her head and let her rest on his shoulder, "Rest for a while."

Xu Jinzhi was indeed very tired, but she was also feeling exhilarated. Resting on Xie Yanchuan’s shoulder and holding his hand, she played with his fingers while saying, "Xie Yanchuan, we’re married now."

"Hmm," Xie Yanchuan replied in a deep voice, also feeling somewhat incredulous. Just a year ago, he had no one he liked, let alone thought about who he would marry.

But now he was married.

Xu Jinzhi raised her head slightly to look at Xie Yanchuan, who in turn lowered his gaze to meet hers, only to see Xu Jinzhi smiling sweetly, "Please guide me in the future."

Xie Yanchuan’s eyes flickered as he watched Xu Jinzhi’s charming demeanor, feeling an urge to kiss her, but they were in the car, and the driver was present, so it seemed inappropriate to do so.

Back at the bridal home, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan went straight to the bedroom.

This was the bridal home they had chosen together, or it might be more accurate to say Xu Jinzhi picked it alone, because Xie Yanchuan had no objections throughout the process. Whatever Xu Jinzhi said was fine by him.

It was also their bridal home from a previous life. Although their marriage did not start off well, they had shared many warm moments here, so after some hesitation, Xu Jinzhi still chose this place.

All their personal belongings were ready in the villa; moving in now didn’t pose any discomfort.

"I’m going to freshen up," Xu Jinzhi told Xie Yanchuan.

It was only just past three in the afternoon, but Xu Jinzhi couldn’t possibly go without changing clothes and removing her makeup.

Xie Yanchuan nodded, and Xu Jinzhi walked towards him. Before he could react, she kissed him on the lips, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.

Watching Xu Jinzhi’s retreating figure, Xie Yanchuan stood still and watched for a moment.

After a tiring day, Xu Jinzhi took off her makeup and enjoyed a comfortable bath, relaxing completely and feeling almost drowsy.

Xie Yanchuan had been waiting in the bedroom. Even though their things had been packed by the servants in advance, Xie Yanchuan still sorted them out himself.

By the time he was finished, Xu Jinzhi still hadn’t come out of the bathroom. He looked at his wristwatch; it had been almost an hour since Xu Jinzhi went in.

He knew Xu Jinzhi was taking a bath, but it seemed to be taking a long time, and Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but worry. He went to the bathroom door and knocked, "Jinzhi, you shouldn’t soak in the bath for too long."

Xu Jinzhi didn’t respond, so Xie Yanchuan furrowed his brows and raised his voice to call out again, "Jinzhi!"

"Ah?" From inside the bathroom, Xu Jinzhi hadn’t reacted yet and initially just acknowledged reflexively. A few seconds later, she came to her senses quickly and said, "Okay, I’ll be done soon."

Xie Yanchuan reminded her, "The floor is slippery, be careful."

"Okay."

Xie Yanchuan didn’t say anything else, but he didn’t leave either, just stood not far from the bathroom, waiting for Xu Jinzhi to come out.

When Xu Jinzhi came out and saw Xie Yanchuan waiting at the door, she said with slight embarrassment, "I almost fell asleep just now."

Seeing that Xu Jinzhi was fine, Xie Yanchuan didn’t say much, just took her to one side to sit, and himself found a hairdryer to help her dry her hair.

In just that short time, Xu Jinzhi was already dozing off again, and Xie Yanchuan could tell she was really tired.

After her hair was dried, Xie Yanchuan picked up Xu Jinzhi and laid her on the large red bed. He kissed her forehead and said gently, "Go to sleep first."

Xu Jinzhi hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist the sleepiness, so she nodded, closed her eyes, and prepared to rest for a while.

Xie Yanchuan didn’t rush to leave, but it was only two minutes later that Xu Jinzhi had already fallen asleep. Yanchuan stared at her sleeping face for a while before carefully getting up.

When Xu Jinzhi woke up, she was initially confused, but soon came to and realized the bedroom lights were on. Although she didn’t know the exact time, it was at least around seven or eight o’clock.

Xu Jinzhi rolled over to sit up, tousled her somewhat messy hair, and then picked up the mobile phone from the bedside table.

Sure enough, it was already past seven o’clock.

Xu Jinzhi took a deep breath, got out of bed, and went to find Xie Yanchuan.

The villa had an open design, and as soon as Xu Jinzhi left the bedroom, she saw Yanchuan in the living room downstairs after just a few steps.

At that moment, Xie Yanchuan was talking to a servant, and it was unclear what they were busy with.

When Xu Jinzhi got a bit closer, she heard Xie Yanchuan instructing the servant about some of her personal habits.

Even though they hadn’t been together very long, Xie Yanchuan had thoroughly figured out her daily routines.

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but lift the corners of her lips into a smile. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

At this time, Xie Yanchuan downstairs had also noticed the movement by the stairs, looked up, and saw Xu Jinzhi coming down.

"Awake?" Xie Yanchuan asked softly.

"Mhm," Xu Jinzhi nodded and walked towards Yanchuan.

When she approached, the servant courteously greeted her, then excused themselves and left.

"What about you? Didn’t you rest for a while?" Xu Jinzhi asked, knowing that it wasn’t just her who couldn’t sleep last night—Yanchuan had also gone the whole night without sleeping.

"I did sleep, just woke up a little before you." He woke up only about half an hour earlier than Xu Jinzhi, so he was still instructing the servants about some things to be aware of.
