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

The little girl happily greeted Tuantuan, but didn’t receive an enthusiastic response from him.

Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan also greeted the little girl’s parents and had a brief chat before they parted ways.

It took them nearly twenty minutes to get back to the villa.

Sitting in the living room, Xu Jinzhi ate fruit while watching a variety show, and Xie Yanchuan was busy building LEGO with Tuantuan.

What was a difficult LEGO build for Tuantuan was quite simple for Xie Yanchuan; together, they finished the LEGO in less than an hour.

"Mom, look!" Tuantuan was very happy, showing it to Xu Jinzhi.

"Our Tuantuan is awesome!" Xu Jinzhi generously praised him.

Tuantuan smiled, his face shy.

By this time, it was already late. Xie Yanchuan took Tuantuan to take a bath, and Xu Jinzhi went back to the bedroom to freshen up.

When they lay down in bed, Xie Yanchuan held Xu Jinzhi and spoke to her in a soft, gentle voice.

Although he was just talking about trivial matters, Xu Jinzhi found it very comforting.

When Xie Yanchuan had finished speaking, Xu Jinzhi also shared what she had been doing at home over the past few days and how she had been feeling.

Xie Yanchuan’s hand rested on Xu Jinzhi’s stomach, feeling the movements of Sui Sui.

Even though this wasn’t his first time being a father, the feeling was different; Xie Yanchuan carefully cherished the feeling until the baby stopped moving.

Xie Yanchuan whispered, "When this week is over, I won’t go to the lab anymore."

"There’s still half a month left, the lab is busy, you just focus on your work. I’m fine at home," said Xu Jinzhi.

"That part is already arranged," said Xie Yanchuan, he couldn’t let those things delay Xu Jinzhi’s childbirth.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t comment further.

The two of them slept in each other’s arms.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

Xie Yanchuan had already prepared the maternity bag, just waiting to take Xu Jinzhi to the hospital tomorrow.

"Isn’t it ready yet?" Xu Jinzhi watched as Xie Yanchuan was still checking, and couldn’t help but ask.

Without turning around, Xie Yanchuan quietly said, "Just checking one more time."

In fact, he had already checked everything before, but worried that something might have been overlooked, he checked everything again and made sure all the necessary items were there, until he returned to Xu Jinzhi’s side.

When he sat down, Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi and asked, "Scared?"

Xu Jinzhi shook her head, "Not scared."

With Xie Yanchuan by her side, he tirelessly reviewed any possible preparations that might not be ideal and tried his best to arrange everything perfectly.

Xu Jinzhi truly had nothing to fear.

"I will be with you," said Xie Yanchuan.

"Okay."

The next day.

After having breakfast at home, Xu Jinzhi went out with Xie Yanchuan and Tuantuan.

Tuantuan knew his mom was going to the hospital to have a baby sister, and he felt a little bit excited, for he had been waiting all this time to play with his sister once she was born.

He had waited very long, and now his sister was finally going to arrive.

Once they got to the hospital and settled down, He Shuying and Old Master Xie went to see Xu Jinzhi to make sure she was in good condition and just waiting to give birth before they felt relieved to leave.

Since Yanchuan and Tuantuan were with her, Xu Jinzhi didn’t feel bored at all, and the morning quickly passed by.

Just after lunch, when Xu Jinzhi was planning to take a nap with Tuantuan, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It came in waves, not too intense. Xu Jinzhi thought it must be contractions and slightly furrowed her brows, waiting for the pain to pass.

However, this time the contractions did not pass quickly but became more painful, and Xu Jinzhi’s expression grew increasingly pained.

"Yanchuan!" Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but call out.

At that moment, Yanchuan was just entering the room. Seeing that Xu Jinzhi’s expression was off, he immediately ran to her, "Jinzhi, what’s wrong?"

Xu Jinzhi, wincing and looking pained, said, "I think I’m about to give birth."

Yanchuan’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down. They were already in the hospital, and everything was ready!

Yanchuan immediately went to call the doctor and nurse. Despite his heart beating like a drum, he managed to arrange everything with a feigned calmness.

Soon, Xu Jinzhi was lying on the hospital bed, being wheeled into the operating room.

Actually, Yanchuan could have been present at the birth, but Xu Jinzhi refused to have Yanchuan accompany her; she did not want him to see her in such a disheveled state.

Just before entering the operating room, Yanchuan bent down to kiss Xu Jinzhi’s sweaty forehead and then said softly, "Jinzhi, don’t be afraid, I’m waiting for you."

"Okay," Xu Jinzhi responded in a trembling voice.

"Mom, Tuantuan is waiting for you!" Tuantuan, confused and a bit scared at this moment, tried his best not to be frightened.

Hearing his father say this, he quickly repeated it, completely ignoring the cry in his voice.

Xu Jinzhi was taken into the operating room, and Yanchuan stood with Tuantuan, one tall and one short, outside the operating room.

Yanchuan soon collected his thoughts and began informing the family elders.

There weren’t many family elders, and Yanchuan quickly finished notifying them, then once again stared at the operating room indicator light.

Xu Zhen was the first to arrive at the hospital, as he hadn’t come in the morning, originally planning to check on the arrangements at the hospital around noon.

Instead, he received a call from Yanchuan midway, saying his granddaughter was about to be born!

"How is everything?" Xu Zhen couldn’t maintain his usual calm and composed demeanor at work; worry was written all over his face.

Yanchuan said, "Everything is going well, there definitely won’t be any problems."

He wasn’t sure if he was saying that for Xu Zhen or for himself.

But he wasn’t wrong; Sui Sui’s condition was very good, and since they were already at the hospital in preparation for the birth, there had been no delays.

Soon, the rest of the Xie family also arrived one after another, though Yanchuan had no energy to pay them much heed.

It wasn’t until the operating room doors opened and a nurse came out holding a crying child, shouting, "Family of Xu Jinzhi!"

"It’s me." Yanchuan was the first to approach, and before the nurse could speak again, he asked, "How is my wife?"

"Your wife is all well, currently under observation."

Yanchuan breathed a huge sigh of relief; the people behind him also crowded around, relieved that Xu Jinzhi was alright, now turning their attention to the child.

It was at this time that Yanchuan finally noticed the crying child in the nurse’s arms. Upon seeing the child for the first time, Yanchuan couldn’t help but tear up.
