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

"Right?"

Xie Yanchuan opened his mouth, his voice somewhat hoarse as he said, "Mhm, I will be there to watch Tuantuan grow up."

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but lift the corners of her lips and leaned in to kiss Xie Yanchuan again.

But this time, Xie Yanchuan didn’t stop at a peck; he pinched Xu Jinzhi’s waist and kissed her forcefully.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t refuse, trying as best as she could to respond to Xie Yanchuan.

After a long while, Xie Yanchuan pulled away from Xu Jinzhi, but he still held her tightly, hugging Xu Jinzhi strongly. With a hoarse voice, on the verge of tears, he said, "Jinzhi, I’m sorry."

Xu Jinzhi thought Xie Yanchuan was apologizing again for leaving her early in their past life. She said gently, "It’s alright, everything has started over."

The two didn’t speak again and just embraced each other. Before long, Xu Jinzhi had fallen asleep.

Xie Yanchuan, however, was still awake. His eyes brimmed with tears as he kissed Xu Jinzhi’s forehead and then shut his eyes tightly.

In the afternoon, Xie Yanchuan took his family out for a picnic nearby.

They spread out the picnic blanket on the grass. Xie Yanchuan sat on the blanket while Xu Jinzhi lay down directly, resting her head on Xie Yanchuan’s legs.

Tuantuan played nearby, not forgetting to look after his little sister while he played.

The family of four stayed together like that, looking warm and happy to anyone who saw them.

After lying there for a good while, Xu Jinzhi, not wanting to move, continued to sit on the picnic blanket and keep Sui Sui company, while Xie Yanchuan took Tuantuan to fly a kite nearby.

Xu Jinzhi’s face bore an irrepressible smile as Sui Sui, next to her, let out some baby talk that Xu Jinzhi couldn’t understand.

Xu Jinzhi looked over, picked up Sui Sui, and then turned Sui Sui’s attention outward, "Daddy and big brother are flying a kite. When Sui Sui is older, you can fly kites with daddy and big brother too."

"Yiya~ Waiyi~"

Sui Sui babbled nonsensically, even letting out a spray of drool in the process.

Xu Jinzhi wore a look of disgust, but since it was her own dear daughter, she ultimately couldn’t bring herself to let her go.

It wasn’t until the sun began to set that they returned to the hotel. After they finished eating, they changed their clothes to have a soak in the hot springs.

Sui Sui was too young for the hot springs, so after being well-fed, she was taken care of by the nanny. Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan took Tuantuan to soak together in the hot spring pool of their suite.

Tuantuan was still small, so after playing in the water with him for a while, Xie Yanchuan got him out.

He took Tuantuan to bathe and then handed him off to the nanny as well.

When Xie Yanchuan returned to the bedroom, Xu Jinzhi was still soaking in the somewhat large hot spring pool, seemingly chatting with someone as her fingers tapped away at her phone.

Xie Yanchuan stood at a moderate distance, watching Xu Jinzhi’s back. The swimsuit she wore was quite proper, without anything inappropriate, especially since Tuantuan had just been there.

Now that Tuantuan was gone, however, there was no need for so much caution.

Xie Yanchuan went over to the wardrobe, opened it, and pulled out the cream-colored sheer dress from before, then walked over toward Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi was chatting with Song You, having a serious conversation at first, but as they talked, the topic drifted off, veering into some not-so-child-friendly subjects, making Xu Jinzhi blush uncontrollably.

When Xu Jinzhi heard noises outside, she couldn’t explain why, but she felt suddenly nervous. Taking advantage of the fact that Xie Yanchuan hadn’t come over yet, she hurriedly brushed off a few sentences and then tossed her phone aside.

But when Xu Jinzhi turned her head back, she saw Xie Yanchuan taking out that nightgown from the wardrobe. Thinking of what Song You had said earlier, Xu Jinzhi felt an inexplicable panic.

However, Xu Jinzhi was the type of person who always pretended to be calm, no matter the circumstances, keeping a composed expression as if she feared nothing.

Xie Yanchuan, too, noticed that Xu Jinzhi was watching him while holding the nightgown. Seeing Xu Jinzhi’s eyes, Xie Yanchuan felt his heart flutter, overwhelmed by a torrent of indescribable emotions. Standing before the hot spring pool, he feigned nonchalance and said, "Tuantuan is already asleep."

"So what?" Xu Jinzhi asked subconsciously, only to berate herself once she realized what she had said. Didn’t she know what was going to happen next?

Xie Yanchuan continued to look at Xu Jinzhi, speaking in a calm tone, "You can change your clothes now."

Xu Jinzhi said with some embarrassment, "I don’t want to wear it now!"

Xie Yanchuan looked steadily at Xu Jinzhi and, without saying anything, simply bent down slightly to help the seated Xu Jinzhi stand up from the hot spring pool.

"You said you would wear it for me to see, remember? No going back on your word," Xie Yanchuan said as he reached out to help Xu Jinzhi out of the nightgown she was wearing.

Xu Jinzhi was a bit shocked, but she did not stop him. Since Xie Yanchuan wanted to do it himself, she let him help her change.

And as Xie Yanchuan was helping to take off her gown, he was already moved, his eyes warm with desire.

Xie Yanchuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he tried to suppress his passion and then dressed Xu Jinzhi in the new nightgown.

After he had helped Xu Jinzhi get dressed, he examined her from head to toe and sincerely complimented her, "You look very pretty."

No girl disliked being praised for her looks, but at such a moment, it felt rather embarrassing.

Even though Xu Jinzhi was good at pretending, she couldn’t outdo Xie Yanchuan. She reaffirmed that Xie Yanchuan was nothing but a suave brute!

However, Xu Jinzhi’s angry glare had no effect, as Xie Yanchuan had already kissed her, his movements somewhat rough.

Xu Jinzhi looked up without rejecting him and quickly surrendered, experiencing something entirely new in the hot spring pool!

When everything was over, Xu Jinzhi felt utterly drained and could only be carried by Xie Yanchuan to the bathroom to be cleaned up.

After getting ready and lying down in bed, Xu Jinzhi quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

When Xu Jinzhi woke up, she felt a sore throat and her whole body ached.

She quickly replayed last night’s events in her mind, and instantly she knew how absurd she had been with Xie Yanchuan.

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but curse herself. Why did she have to flirt with Xie Yanchuan?

And to think she believed Song You’s nonsense about a new experience!

It was practically a death sentence!

Xie Yanchuan was no longer on the bed, and Xu Jinzhi struggled to turn over, lying facedown on the bed with no desire to move. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

She felt like she might need to stay in bed and rest properly to recover.

But it wasn’t long before she heard the door open, and Xu Jinzhi immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, quickly realizing someone was coming to her side.
