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

Xu Jinzhi quickly recalled the name in her mind, but in the end, she realized she did not remember anyone of that existence.

"Do I know you?" Xu Jinzhi directly countered.

The woman on the other end of the line was silent for a few seconds, probably not expecting Xu Jinzhi to be unaware of her existence. There was a sense of discomfort in the depth of her heart.

But eventually, she said in a harsh tone, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t know who I am, the point is I’m pregnant."

"What did you say? Pregnant?" Xu Jinzhi was first bewildered, then she looked towards Xie Yanchuan. If the caller was pregnant and specifically calling her, it must definitely be related to her.

Related to her?

Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan and her expression gradually turned colder.

At this moment, Xie Yanchuan did not know what was going on. He only knew that Xu Jinzhi had answered the phone, so he first served her a bowl of soup and picked some dishes for her.

Suddenly hearing Xu Jinzhi mention "pregnant," he glanced at Xu Jinzhi. But just with that one look, Xie Yanchuan vaguely felt something was off.

Before Xie Yanchuan could figure out what was wrong with Xu Jinzhi’s gaze, he heard Xu Jinzhi ask another question, "What does your pregnancy have to do with me? It can’t possibly be Xie Yanchuan’s, can it?"

At that moment, Xie Yanchuan’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Although he still didn’t know what exactly was happening, Xie Yanchuan had already begun shaking his head like a bobblehead.

Xie Yanchuan’s face was full of panic, silently defending himself to Xu Jinzhi, "It’s not!"

He had never had any different relationship with any women that Xu Jinzhi might think of, so what she just said was absolutely impossible.

Xu Jinzhi’s cold expression was merely an instinctual response. Once she realized what was happening, her demeanor returned to normal.

She believed that Xie Yanchuan would never do such a thing.

On the phone, Lin Chu fell silent once again, not expecting Xu Jinzhi to think that.

Lin Chu felt somewhat irritated—if only she had been able to contact that man, she wouldn’t have had to call Xu Jinzhi.

Lin Chu had no choice but to patiently say again, "It has nothing to do with Xie Yanchuan, it’s your father, Xu Zhen."

As Lin Chu’s words hung in the air, she waited for Xu Jinzhi’s response.

Xu Jinzhi remained silent for a long time. This was the first time in her two lives that she had received such a call, it was only natural to be a bit at a loss.

Xie Yanchuan kept watching Xu Jinzhi, seeing her suddenly spacing out, he called out with some concern, "Jinzhi."

Hearing Xie Yanchuan’s voice, Xu Jinzhi returned to her senses. She curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, leaving Xie Yanchuan somewhat perplexed.

Then she heard Xu Jinzhi say nonchalantly, "So, what do you mean by telling me this now?"

Before Lin Chu could answer, Xu Jinzhi continued, "Whether it’s true or not is still up for debate. Even if it is true, aren’t you afraid I’d kill him by revealing this to me?"

"If you dare to do that, I will make sure the Xu Family comes crashing down!" Lin Chu didn’t take Xu Jinzhi seriously, but hearing her say these careless words, Lin Chu suddenly felt nervous.

She suddenly regretted it—she shouldn’t have contacted Xu Jinzhi even if she couldn’t reach Xu Zhen!

Indeed, how could Xu Jinzhi possibly allow the Xu Family to have another child that would compete with her for the inheritance?

Xu Jinzhi now knew she was pregnant and really might have someone get rid of the baby!

So, Lin Chu hung up the phone in a panic.

Listening to the sound coming from the phone, Xu Jinzhi seemed somewhat in disbelief; she took her phone and looked at it, only to find that the call had indeed been hung up.

"Heh." Xu Jinzhi laughed out loud, speechless.

It was only then that Xie Yanchuan got a chance and hurriedly promised Xu Jinzhi, "Jinzhi, I swear, I absolutely haven’t done anything inappropriate! I don’t even know anyone named Lin Chu."

Xu Jinzhi glanced at Xie Yanchuan and said lightly, "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Xie Yanchuan sighed in relief, but the next moment, he heard Xu Jinzhi say, "But if one day you dare to do such a thing, I will surely make you understand why the flowers are so red."

Xie Yanchuan didn’t understand the meaning behind Xu Jinzhi’s words, but he knew it was a threat, and staring at Xu Jinzhi, he solemnly promised, "I won’t."

He would never do such a thing.

Now, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with himself, Xie Yanchuan then asked, "Who was the person who called you?"

Even though it had nothing to do with him, the few words Xu Jinzhi had said to the other person were enough to prove that this matter must be related to Xu Jinzhi.

While picking up a spoon to start drinking her soup, Xu Jinzhi said, "Don’t know them; they said they were pregnant with my dad’s child."

"What, what?" Xie Yanchuan was shocked again.

Xu Jinzhi, looking at Xie Yanchuan’s astonished expression, couldn’t help but smile. If Xie Yanchuan had been in clinical medicine, he would probably have been very calm when hearing this news.

"Alright, let’s eat first," Xu Jinzhi said very calmly.

Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi, his expression complex, and after hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "Aren’t you going to do anything about it?"

Xu Jinzhi frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, "It’s not yours, what’s the rush for me?"

"If it were yours, I’d still be figuring out how to kill you both, but since it’s my dad’s, let him deal with it."

After finishing her words, Xu Jinzhi started drinking her soup. When she took the first sip, she felt utterly relieved—she felt sure her cold would be gone in no time!

Xie Yanchuan didn’t ask anything more, but he was clearly taken aback by the situation.

If it had been someone else, Xie Yanchuan wouldn’t have cared because, even if the situation was outrageous, it had nothing to do with him; but this matter could hardly be said to have nothing to do with him!

After finishing her meal, Xu Jinzhi sat and rested for a while before going back to her bedroom to take a shower, and after her shower, she took some medicine.

Already tired, Xu Jinzhi, after taking the cold medicine, couldn’t resist the drowsiness and soon drifted into a deep sleep on her bed.

Xie Yanchuan had recovered from his initial shock and guessed that Xu Jinzhi’s calmness must be because there were other hidden aspects of the situation.

Since Xu Jinzhi was not worried, he felt there was no need to think about too many messy things.

Now, seeing Xu Jinzhi asleep, he didn’t have the heart to leave but just quietly watched her sleeping face.

She had truly lost a lot of weight, and involuntarily, a tinge of heartache appeared at the bottom of his eyes.
