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

"Sure," Xu Jinzhi didn’t hesitate too long, then added, "But I need to make a call to check, I don’t know if he has any engagements today."

After saying that, Xu Jinzhi took out her mobile phone, found her father’s number, and called him directly.

Mr. Xu answered the phone quickly, "Hello."

"Mr. Xu, are you free today? I’ll be coming over later, will you be at home?" Xu Jinzhi asked casually.

"I’m at home, no engagements today, just come over," Mr. Xu said.

"Then it’s settled, we’ll head over in a bit."

"Roads are slippery in the snow, be careful when you head out."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Xu Jinzhi put down her phone. "So, are we getting ready to leave now?"

"Go put on a thicker coat," Xie Yanchuan said, nothing else needed preparing.

Xu Jinzhi then got up and went back to the bedroom.

Not long after, they set off for the Xu Family.

With the two kids in the car, it was inevitably noisy, but Xu Jinzhi was patient in responding to Sui Sui.

Xie Yanchuan continuously looked at Xu Jinzhi interacting with Sui Sui, his eyes filled with indescribable tenderness.

Xu Jinzhi was naturally aware that Xie Yanchuan was watching her, but that wasn’t strange, as Xie Yanchuan always liked to watch her.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Xu Family smoothly.

Tuantuan led the way, not yet inside but already shouting, "Grandpa!"

"Ah!" Mr. Xu promptly responded with an affection that was unlike his usual seriousness at the company.

Although Tuantuan wasn’t a Xu by surname, Mr. Xu loved him just the same, after all, he was his precious daughter’s child.

After playing with Tuantuan for a while, Mr. Xu then went to hold Sui Sui, who was usually stranger-shy but was quite well-behaved in Mr. Xu’s arms since he often held her.

After lunch, when Sui Sui got sleepy, Xu Jinzhi took him straight back to the bedroom.

Even though Xu Jinzhi seldom came back, the Xu Family still kept her room, and now there was even a room for Tuantuan, so the Xu’s place was always Xu Jinzhi’s home.

Xie Yanchuan in the bedroom watched as Xu Jinzhi, Sui Sui, and Tuantuan all fell asleep, then carefully left the bedroom.

When Xie Yanchuan went downstairs, he immediately saw Mr. Xu sitting on the living room sofa drinking tea, and respectfully greeted him, "Dad."

"Hmm." Mr. Xu nodded, looking at Xie Yanchuan, he couldn’t help but evaluate his son-in-law in his heart.

Honestly, over these many years, Mr. Xu was quite satisfied.

But as a father-in-law, he still had his reservations, not showing too much fondness for Xie Yanchuan. No matter how good Xie Yanchuan might seem now, they still had a long way to go.

One can never be sure about the future, so it’s better not to be too easygoing, lest it gives him the courage to mistreat his daughter one day.

"How has Old Master Xie been lately?" Without Xu Jinzhi around, Mr. Xu didn’t know what else to talk about with Xie Yanchuan, so he just casually inquired.

Xie Yanchuan said, "Not so good, considering grandpa’s age."

"That makes sense, given his age, as long as you can take good care of him now, he’s already satisfied." Even knowing that Old Master Xie wasn’t in the best shape, Mr. Xu wasn’t too distressed.

Yanchuan nodded slightly, unsure of what he was feeling deep down.

Maybe it wasn’t bad since, as everyone said, it was inevitable given Grandpa’s age. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Or maybe it was painful, just mixed with other things, and since Grandpa’s condition hadn’t reached that stage yet, there was no need to think so much about it.

Yanchuan glanced at Xu Zhen, his lips twitching slightly as if he wanted to say something, but for the moment, he didn’t know how to begin.

If he said anything to his father-in-law now about taking good care of Jinzhi, it might lead to unnecessary speculation.

However, Yanchuan’s hesitance caught Xu Zhen’s attention, causing him to slightly furrow his brow with concern.

"Do you want to tell me something?" Xu Zhen asked directly.

Yanchuan shook his head, "No."

"Hmph!" Xu Zhen stared at Yanchuan, full of disbelief; he clearly wanted to say something just moments ago,

but for some reason ended up saying nothing.

With some helplessness, Yanchuan admitted, "Actually, there’s nothing. I was just thinking about Jinzhi."

"What about Jinzhi?" Xu Zhen asked further.

Yanchuan replied, "You’ve raised her well. She’s like a child when she’s in front of you."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen felt slightly proud, "She is my child. Even though she’s a mother now, she’s still my child."

"You’re right," Yanchuan acknowledged.

Now in a good mood and feeling somewhat bored, Xu Zhen started sharing stories about Jinzhi’s childhood.

Yanchuan listened attentively, as if he too had witnessed Jinzhi’s growth.

It wasn’t until after dinner that Jinzhi and her family finally went home.

By the time they got home, it was already late, and they each did their part to ensure Tuantuan and Sui Sui took their baths and went to bed.

When they both got back to their bedroom, it was almost ten o’clock.

Jinzhi went to take a shower first and came out with her hair dripping wet; Yanchuan very naturally fetched the hair dryer to dry her hair.

Jinzhi sat there obediently, watching Yanchuan through the mirror, a tender smile on her face that she couldn’t hide.

Ever since living together, Jinzhi never had to dry her own hair when Yanchuan was around.

It wasn’t that she demanded it, but Yanchuan seemed to enjoy doing it.

"All done." Yanchuan turned off the hair dryer, put it away in its place, "I’m going to shower now."

"Okay." Jinzhi watched Yanchuan through the vanity mirror.

When Yanchuan came out of the bathroom, Jinzhi had already lain down on the bed, not sure what video she was watching, but she suddenly burst out laughing.

Yanchuan lay down on the bed, reaching out to pull Jinzhi into his arms. Somehow, Jinzhi’s phone slipped from her grip and fell onto the bed.

"My phone."

Jinzhi struggled to pick up her phone to continue watching, but Yanchuan beat her to it and picked it up first.

Instead of giving it back to Jinzhi, Yanchuan placed the phone on the nightstand.
