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

Xu Jinzhi smiled at the man in front of her. "Sorry, I forgot I’m feeling a bit under the weather and can’t drink."

The man also smiled back and echoed, "If you’re feeling unwell, you shouldn’t drink."

Xu Jinzhi handed her champagne to a passing waiter and then picked up a glass of juice from the other side.

"Let’s substitute with juice," Xu Jinzhi extended her hand and clinked her glass against the other’s, smiling. "Cheers."

"It’s my honor to have a drink with Mr. Xu!" the man said, and very considerately, he drained his glass in one gulp.

After chatting for a while longer, they dispersed.

Once there was no one around her, Xu Jinzhi turned to Xie Yanchuan with a puzzled look. "Why did you suddenly stop me from drinking? Worried I’ll drink too much?"

Xie Yanchuan had only remembered when Xu Jinzhi was about to have a drink that if she was pregnant, she couldn’t drink, as it’s bad for the baby’s development.

Seeing Xie Yanchuan’s hesitancy, Xu Jinzhi slightly furrowed her brow, "What’s wrong?"

After thinking it over, Xie Yanchuan felt it was better to just speak out directly, because if she really was pregnant, there were many things she would need to be cautious about.

Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi, seemingly mustering up courage before leaning in a little closer to her, then he lowered his voice, "Your period hasn’t come yet."

Xu Jinzhi was initially startled, then she chuckled. "What? Worried I might have period pains?"

She had already recalled that in the past few days, Xie Yanchuan had also reminded her not to drink cold stuff, worried she might suffer as she did last month.

Xie Yanchuan frowned, his expression becoming a bit urgent, "That’s not it."

"Huh?" Xu Jinzhi was taken aback, not quite understanding what Xie Yanchuan meant.

Xie Yanchuan simply continued, "Your period is always punctual, usually deviating by just a day or two, but this time it has been delayed by four days."

Xie Yanchuan remembered very clearly that including today, it was already the fifth day!

He felt more and more strongly that Tuantuan was on the way.

At first, Xu Jinzhi genuinely thought Xie Yanchuan stopped her from drinking out of concern for her period pains, but after he insisted that wasn’t the case and heard Xie Yanchuan’s explanation, Xu Jinzhi was stunned.

Now that the words were out, Xie Yanchuan felt it was better to clarify everything, but just as he was about to, someone came over to greet Xu Jinzhi, and Xie Yanchuan immediately took her hand and led her toward a quieter corner.

By this point, Xu Jinzhi was completely dazed, letting Xie Yanchuan pull her along by the hand.

When Xie Yanchuan stopped, he looked at Xu Jinzhi’s incredulous expression—yet at the same time, her face bore an uncontrollable joy.

Xie Yanchuan hurriedly added, "I’m not entirely sure, it’s just because your period has always been punctual, and it’s been delayed by several days, so I have some suspicions, but it might not necessarily mean you’re pregnant."

He had not mentioned it in the previous days because he was worried Xu Jinzhi might get overly excited.

What if it was just a misunderstanding? How heartbroken would Xu Jinzhi be?

But if he didn’t say anything, Xu Jinzhi wouldn’t be mindful of many things, like the drinking incident just now.

Xu Jinzhi still didn’t speak, but her facial expression became a bit more expressive.

"Jinzhi," Xie Yanchuan spoke in a solemn tone.

Xu Jinzhi finally snapped out of it, her smile becoming even less concealable.

Xie Yanchuan said, "Don’t get your hopes up too high; it might not necessarily mean you’re pregnant. After all, you had your period last month. Let’s wait a few more days, and if it still hasn’t come, then we’ll go to the hospital to get checked."

Xu Jinzhi wanted to say it must be Tuantuan who had come!

But she couldn’t just say it so bluntly, she simply nodded vigorously after Xie Yanchuan finished speaking, "Okay!"

Xie Yanchuan felt a bit helpless, as he believed that Xu Jinzhi was now firmly convinced that she was pregnant.

After a brief moment of silence, Xie Yanchuan said, "Then let’s go over first."

Just as Xu Jinzhi was about to walk away, she immediately stopped, "So, do I need to be extra careful right now?"

Xie Yanchuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head.

In fact, Xu Jinzhi had given birth to Tuantuan and Sui Sui in her past life, so it’s not like she had no experience; it was just that she got a bit excited upon suddenly learning that she might be pregnant.

Right now, she couldn’t help but recall pregnancy precautions in her mind, "Can’t drink alcohol, can’t exercise vigorously, can’t eat all sorts of messy foods..."

As she thought, Xu Jinzhi lowered her gaze to look at the high heels on her feet.

Her movement was so obvious that Xie Yanchuan naturally noticed it as well, and he lowered his head to glance at Xu Jinzhi’s feet too.

A moment later, the two of them raised their heads and exchanged glances.

Xie Yanchuan said, "It’s alright, just like this for now."

Xu Jinzhi didn’t say anything more, and the two returned to the hall. However, Xu Jinzhi became much more careful herself, and amidst the hustle and bustle, Xie Yanchuan also paid more attention to Xu Jinzhi.

Along the way, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan ran into Xu Zhen, and naturally, the two went up to greet him.

But after the greetings, Xu Zhen slightly narrowed his eyes with a somewhat complex expression as he looked at the couple in front of him, "What’s up? Why are you so happy?"

It couldn’t be because they were so happy about Xie Linchuan’s son’s full-month celebration, right?

Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan looked at each other, and although both felt it must be Tuantuan who had come, they still weren’t sure. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After exchanging a glance, they both knew what the other was thinking. Xu Jinzhi shook her head and with a smile said, "Nothing."

Xu Zhen couldn’t help but roll his eyes; if she really didn’t want to tell him, she should just say so. Her mouth was almost splitting with laughter as she pretended to say it was nothing.

Did he look like a fool?

But since Xu Jinzhi didn’t want to say, Xu Zhen didn’t ask any further.

Because of the news that she was pregnant, when she saw Liang Shiyu later on, even as Liang Shiyu fake-smiled at her, Xu Jinzhi smiled back.

Her smile actually confused Liang Shiyu, who couldn’t help but wonder if Xu Jinzhi was up to something.

On the way back, inside the car with only Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but start giggling foolishly.

After her giggling, Xu Jinzhi asked Xie Yanchuan, "For a blood test, how many days at least before it can show up?"

Xu Jinzhi calculated, and if it were according to the timeline of her past life, she should be less than two weeks pregnant now.

Thinking over the dates, it should have been around the time she came back from her business trip in Province G, perhaps that very night in Province G!

Xie Yanchuan pondered for a moment, "It should be at least half a month for it to be more accurate."

"How about we take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up this weekend?" Xu Jinzhi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Xie Yanchuan.
