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

Upon realizing that Xu Jinzhi was angry, Xie Yanchuan didn’t hesitate much and directly asked her, "Jinzhi, are you angry?"

"No." Xu Jinzhi answered nonchalantly, not even sparing Xie Yanchuan an extra glance, clearly saying one thing but meaning another.

Xie Yanchuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Is it because I didn’t tell you right away that Tuantuan is a boy, or because you prefer girls?"

Xu Jinzhi suddenly stopped, turned around, and glared at Xie Yanchuan, "Don’t spout nonsense. Whether Tuantuan is a boy or a girl, I would like them both!"

"The one who angered me is you, it has nothing to do with Tuantuan!"

It was clearly Xie Yanchuan who had angered her, and she wasn’t about to let Tuantuan take the blame for him!

Xie Yanchuan understood that Xu Jinzhi was unhappy because he hadn’t told her about the baby right away.

So Xie Yanchuan directly explained to Xu Jinzhi, "I didn’t mean to hide it from you; I just hadn’t found the right moment yet."

"I also didn’t know whether you wanted to know, so I didn’t rush to tell you."

Xu Jinzhi was still angry, hearing Xie Yanchuan chattering incessantly by her ear, she felt even more annoyed.

She still couldn’t understand why in her previous life, Xie Yanchuan knew early on but never told her until Tuantuan was born, when she finally learned Tuantuan’s gender.

Why didn’t Xie Yanchuan tell her?

Why wouldn’t he tell her?

Then Xu Jinzhi remembered that at this time in her previous life, her relationship with Xie Yanchuan wasn’t like it was now.

Back then, although she was fairly satisfied with Xie Yanchuan, in her heart, Xie Yanchuan was more of a tool.

Was it because she treated Xie Yanchuan as a tool back then that Xie Yanchuan also didn’t have many feelings for her, so he was reluctant to tell her?

In Xu Jinzhi’s memory, Xie Yanchuan was the person who unconditionally liked her and treated her well, and she had gotten used to that Xie Yanchuan.

Now, suddenly discovering that Xie Yanchuan also had things he hid from her, and that there had been times when he simply didn’t care about her, Xu Jinzhi felt very uncomfortable.

Although she knew that initially, their relationship was a business marriage, forced by circumstances, and both she and Xie Yanchuan were compromising.

She didn’t care about Xie Yanchuan, and Xie Yanchuan didn’t care about her, so it was understandable that Xie Yanchuan didn’t tell her.

But Xu Jinzhi just felt uncomfortable.

She just wanted Xie Yanchuan to wholeheartedly like her even when she wasn’t perfect, that kind of feeling where Xie Yanchuan still liked her.

Yet, on the other hand, she felt that all that was in a past life, so why think so much about it now?

At that moment, another little voice popped up telling Xu Jinzhi that even though everything in her previous life had already passed, she still wanted to hold on to those issues!

She was just so unreasonable, she was just so selfish!

The more she thought about it, Xu Jinzhi went from initially being angry to gradually feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Holding her breath, she simply wouldn’t pay attention to Xie Yanchuan, using it to express her dissatisfaction.

"Jinzhi." Seeing that Xu Jinzhi was consistently ignoring him, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but reach out and gently tug at Xu Jinzhi’s arm.

Xu Jinzhi subconsciously jerked her arm, flinging off Xie Yanchuan’s hand, but her own hand ended up striking the clothes Xie Yanchuan was holding.

"Ah!" Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but yelp in pain.

Had it only hit the clothes, Xu Jinzhi wouldn’t have felt pain at all, but Xie Yanchuan hadn’t removed the hangers from those little dresses, so Xu Jinzhi’s hand directly hit the hanger.

"What happened?" Xie Yanchuan’s expression changed instantly, he hastily set the clothes aside without caring if they were properly placed, and hurried to check Xu Jinzhi’s hand.

Xie Yanchuan took Xu Jinzhi’s hand and saw that the back of her pale hand was already red, but that was all for now—no other issues were visible.

Xie Yanchuan instinctively looked at Xu Jinzhi, and when he raised his eyes to meet hers, he saw that her eyes were already red and filled with tears, seemingly about to cry at any moment.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know..." Xie Yanchuan panicked, unsure how to explain to Xu Jinzhi.

She was never a fussy person, and her eyes had already turned red, so she must be in significant pain to react this way.

Xu Jinzhi withdrew her hand, her voice tinged with a cry as she said, "Leave me alone."

Following that, Xu Jinzhi turned and walked away, not giving Xie Yanchuan a chance to say another word.

At this point, she had no desire to continue shopping. She headed straight for the exit, and Xie Yanchuan, not caring about the clothes, quickly followed her. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

On their way back, Xu Jinzhi still ignored Xie Yanchuan, and Xie Yanchuan didn’t dare say much more, worried that Xu Jinzhi would get even angrier.

Still, Xie Yanchuan was a bit puzzled, not understanding why Xu Jinzhi was so angry.

Because he hadn’t told her immediately?

Xie Yanchuan didn’t think that was the reason.

Throughout the journey, Xu Jinzhi sulked, while Xie Yanchuan kept reflecting on what he might have done wrong.

Even after they got home, Xu Jinzhi hadn’t calmed down, and Xie Yanchuan still hadn’t figured it out.

It wasn’t even three in the afternoon yet; Xu Jinzhi went to her bedroom, changed into comfortable home clothes, washed up briefly, then lay down in bed, falling asleep shortly after.

Observing Xu Jinzhi asleep, Xie Yanchuan checked the back of her hand again. There was already a small bruise.

Xie Yanchuan frowned deeply, his eyes full of displeasure. Although the bruise wasn’t serious and would disappear in a couple of days, so there was no need for medication.

Yet, seeing it still pained him.

After staring at Xu Jinzhi for quite a while, Xie Yanchuan sighed helplessly, then tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Once he left the bedroom, Xie Yanchuan first went downstairs and summoned a servant. He instructed her to go to the store they had visited earlier and buy the several dresses they hadn’t had the chance to purchase.

The servant hurried off to carry out the errand while Xie Yanchuan then moved up to his study.

As Xu Jinzhi slept furiously, she had a remarkable dream.

She saw herself and Xie Yanchuan from a third-person perspective.

That day, they had just finished a prenatal checkup and then she asked Xie Yanchuan to take her to her company. She had squeezed in the appointment during a break and had to return to handle work at the company.

Once they reached the company, she casually said something to Xie Yanchuan, then unfastened her seat belt, preparing to get out of the car.
