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

Xu Jinzhi held back her laughter and asked seriously, "How have you been feeling about work lately?"

Song Yun nodded, "Everything’s pretty good, all smooth sailing."

Xu Jinzhi also nodded, "That’s good to hear, if you can help out in the future, Youyou won’t have to work so hard."

"Yeah, I’ll adapt as quickly as possible," Song Yun nodded again, showing a willingness to learn.

"If there’s anything you can’t sort out yourself, just come and find me," Xu Jinzhi said. This wasn’t just polite talk—she was very close to Song You and truly treated Song Yun like her own younger brother.

Especially since in her past life, Song Yun had helped her a lot, and she remembered this kindness.

Then, Xu Jinzhi casually inquired about Zhao Qinghe in relation to Song You.

"Has Zhao Qinghe not given up yet?" Xu Jinzhi asked.

Previously, Zhao Qinghe had been asking around about her, and her side found out immediately. Because of what she had done to Zhao Lei, everyone was worried that Zhao Qinghe would retaliate against Xu Jinzhi.

But now, several months had passed, and there had been no sign that Zhao Qinghe intended to do anything to Xu Jinzhi.

It was as if the person who had been asking about her wasn’t him at all, rather, he was pursuing Song You relentlessly, as if he had a great fondness for her.

Xu Jinzhi was somewhat speechless, unable to comprehend what Zhao Qinghe really wanted to do.

Song You also couldn’t help but frown, feeling some irritation at heart. She too didn’t know what Zhao Qinghe was up to.

Song Jian and Tan Yuanyuan, those shameless creatures, had already been taught a lesson by her and no longer dared to meddle in her marital affairs.

Yet, Zhao Qinghe was still relentless, acting as if he couldn’t see her rejections every time.

He knew full well that she had no status within the Song Family and that she couldn’t possibly help him with anything, but he still wouldn’t give up on her.

But please, don’t say it’s true love—Song You wasn’t naive.

So she really couldn’t understand Zhao Qinghe’s persistent motive.

"Handle it yourself and don’t let him disturb your normal life," Xu Jinzhi said.

Song You just nodded, chatted for a bit more, and then left.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that Xie Yanchuan came to the company to pick up Xu Jinzhi and take her back to the Xie Family.

On the way, Xu Jinzhi had already started eating the cupcakes Xie Yanchuan had brought for her, as she only ate them once a week due to sugar control.

She never used to be particularly fond of them, but now she seemed to love them, looking blissfully happy every time she ate one.

"Do you want some?" Xu Jinzhi asked Xie Yanchuan, with no real intention of offering him a piece.

Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but give a wry smile and then shook his head seriously.

Xu Jinzhi then really did not give any to Xie Yanchuan, after all, she had asked without the intention of excluding him from the treat, completely forgetting that she had never actually intended to give him any in the first place.

When they arrived back at the Xie Family, only Xie Xingchuan and Old Master Xie were in the living room, discussing something that seemed to be making Old Master Xie very happy.

He Shuying was personally preparing dinner in the kitchen, while the rest of the family had not yet arrived.

After greeting Xie Yanchuan, Xu Jinzhi sat down in the living room and casually chatted with Mr. Xie.

About ten minutes later, Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu also arrived, with Xie Linchuan holding a sleeping baby in his arms.

A group of people exchanged courteous greetings before coming to a stop.

Since the little one was still asleep, Old Master Xie didn’t hold him, worried that he might accidentally wake him up. Xie Yihang was prone to crying, and once he started, it was hard to stop him.

Xu Jinzhi sat next to Xie Yanchuan, a bit bored, fiddling with Xie Yanchuan’s hand because she felt someone watching her. She turned her head slightly and then saw Liang Shiyu looking at her.

Liang Shiyu got caught staring and looked somewhat embarrassed.

However, Xu Jinzhi didn’t say anything and just quietly withdrew her gaze, continuing to pinch Xie Yanchuan’s fingers.

It was then that Liang Shiyu heaved a sigh of relief, but as she relaxed, she looked at Xu Jinzhi again and felt an underlying dissatisfaction.

When she was pregnant, at first she couldn’t eat anything due to morning sickness, and because of that, she had become extremely gaunt.

Having barely made it through the morning sickness, she then seemed to be perpetually ravenous, eating more than twice her usual amount, obviously gaining considerable weight.

Even now, continually trying to control her diet, she hadn’t managed to slim back down.

Even her face had developed some spots, making her look somewhat older, nothing like the radiant beauty she once was on screen.

Liang Shiyu felt she might never be able to return to her former self.

Yet, why had Xu Jinzhi seemingly not changed at all?

She hadn’t just not gained any weight; her complexion also looked great. If it weren’t for her visible belly, just by looking at her face, no one would doubt her if she claimed to be a college student.

Liang Shiyu couldn’t help but feel bitter—the difference was too much when both were pregnant.

It wasn’t until Xie Suian finished his work and returned that the family finally sat down at the dining table for a meal.

Perhaps because she had eaten cake and drunk milk tea upon arrival, Xu Jinzhi wasn’t very hungry now and ate very little before stopping.

There were still two shrimp that Xie Yanchuan had peeled for her in her small plate, which Xu Jinzhi pushed slightly towards Xie Yanchuan.

Without saying anything, Xie Yanchuan picked them up and ate them.

It was at this moment that Liang Shiyu suddenly spoke up, "Jinzhi, aren’t you going to eat anymore?"

Xu Jinzhi was surprised that Liang Shiyu would suddenly speak to her, and not just her. Everyone else at the table was also caught off guard.

After all, the tension between Xu Jinzhi and Liang Shiyu was well-known to everyone.

The sudden comment from Liang Shiyu left them puzzled as to her intent.

After a brief silence, Xu Jinzhi nodded slightly, "Mhm, I’m full."

She was curious to see what Liang Shiyu was up to.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Liang Shiyu felt a bit nervous, but she tried to remain calm, speaking to Xu Jinzhi in a serious manner, "You’ve eaten too little."

"Even if you want to maintain your figure, you must pay more attention to the baby’s health. The baby can only get nutrients from the mother. If you don’t eat properly, the baby will definitely have problems."

Xu Jinzhi had been curious about what Liang Shiyu was up to, but when Liang Shiyu started by mentioning problems with her own baby, Xu Jinzhi instantly wanted to curse!

Liang Shiyu, of course, saw that Xu Jinzhi did not look pleased, but she continued with a look of concern for Xu Jinzhi.

"Also your pregnancy is quite advanced now, and you still go to work every day, which is somewhat dangerous."
