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

"Xie Yanchuan, right?" The man flipped through the files and then raised his head to look at the man who had come in with Xu Jinzhi.

"Yes," Xie Yanchuan nodded.

The Netherworld bureaucrat went on to verify Xie Yanchuan’s death information and so on.

After assuring that Xie Yanchuan’s identity was correct, the bureaucrat continued, "Based on the evaluation, you are qualified to stay in the underworld. Do you want to stay in the underworld or be reincarnated?"

Xie Yanchuan instinctively looked towards Xu Jinzhi, seeking her opinion.

Xu Jinzhi whispered softly, "I have already chosen to stay."

Hearing Xu Jinzhi’s words, the bureaucrat reminded from the side, "Please consider carefully. Once you sign the contract, if you breach it, you will pay a very painful price."

However, Xie Yanchuan found the bureaucrat’s words meaningless after getting Xu Jinzhi’s answer, and he resolutely stated, "I am willing to stay."

"Please confirm again, do you wish to stay in the underworld?" The bureaucrat, all business and without a hint of impatience, continued to inquire.

Xie Yanchuan repeated, "I am willing to stay in the underworld."

As long as Xu Jinzhi was there, even if it were a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, he would be willing.

Therefore, the bureaucrat no longer inquired, simply signing the document before turning to let Xie Yanchuan also sign and fingerprint. The moment the fingerprint shimmered with golden light, the contract was officially in effect.

After the contract was fully signed, the other party passed over a small booklet.

Xie Yanchuan glanced at it, the words "Underworld Survival Handbook" written glaringly on it. Xie Yanchuan forced a smile; it really was unadorned and simple.

"Thank you for your trouble, we’ll be leaving now." Xu Jinzhi politely thanked the other party and then took Xie Yanchuan to leave.

Once they left the office, Xu Jinzhi’s face beamed with a smile as she turned back to Xie Yanchuan, "Let’s go. I’ll take you to see the domain I’ve secured."

Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan then hailed a cab downstairs and gave their address to the Ghost Driver.

"This is our current address," Xu Jinzhi said after giving the address, turning back to Xie Yanchuan.

Xie Yanchuan just silently nodded, still in a state of shock.

Xu Jinzhi merely smiled, giving Xie Yanchuan time to adjust, and did not forget to continue to explain the situation to him on the way home.

It left Xie Yanchuan staggered with shock time and again.

Upon arrival, Xu Jinzhi took out her phone to pay, then reminded Xie Yanchuan to get out of the car.

Xie Yanchuan stepped out of the car and looked up at the towering high-rises before him, indistinguishable from a human residential complex.

Xu Jinzhi, somewhat embarrassed, said, "The underworld is short-staffed, so I didn’t buy a villa when purchasing a house before; hiring a maid would cost quite a bit of money."

"Although you burnt a lot of golden ingots for me, and I have work in the underworld, it’s still not easy to earn money now."

"I’m living in a three-bedroom now. For the two of us, it’s enough."

After Xu Jinzhi finished speaking, she watched Xie Yanchuan, eager to gauge his reaction since she was no longer the wealthy Xu Jinzhi of old.

But her relationship with Xie Yanchuan was so good, and though she was not as affluent as before, she was not destitute either!

Having both a house and a car, and with neither elders nor children, just the two ghosts, they didn’t have much pressure. As long as they worked hard, they’d surely have a good life in the future!

Xie Yanchuan looked at Xu Jinzhi and found he simply couldn’t speak.

Xu Jinzhi felt uncertain about Xie Yanchuan’s lack of reaction. She believed he wouldn’t look down on her for not having enough wealth, but...

"Maybe in a few days we..."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Both voices rose at the same time, then stopped simultaneously. They looked at each other, and Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but burst into laughter, as did Xie Yanchuan.

The two went upstairs together, and Xie Yanchuan saw the cozy little three-bedroom, much like the apartment he had lived in near the school years ago.

"I left early this morning to pick you up, and now I’m already hungry. I’m going to prepare something to eat; what would you like?" Xu Jinzhi said.

Xie Yanchuan approached Xu Jinzhi to see what there was to eat.

To his surprise, he saw things not much different from what humans eat, and he was amazed once again.

"Is it surprising?" Xu Jinzhi asked.

Xie Yanchuan nodded.

"You’ll get used to it gradually," Xu Jinzhi continued.

Xie Yanchuan smiled, "Let me do it."

Xu Jinzhi paused, looking at Xie Yanchuan beside her with a deeply moved expression, "Xie Yanchuan, how can you be so good!"

Although life wasn’t bad in the underworld, Xu Jinzhi had thought about saving money so that when Xie Yanchuan descended, she wouldn’t be too destitute.

So she had never hired a maid, and all the cooking was done by herself.

Even though the foods were delicious and costly to buy, they ended up terribly unpalatable due to her subpar cooking skills.

Now that Xie Yanchuan had arrived and was about to cook for her straight away, Xu Jinzhi was truly moved.

Xie Yanchuan simply flashed a gentle smile and then rolled up his sleeves to start cooking.

While Xie Yanchuan was cooking, he couldn’t help turning his head to look at Xu Jinzhi, who was by his side washing vegetables, and a smile involuntarily graced his lips.

He had initially told Xu Jinzhi to wait outside since he could manage on his own and didn’t need her help.

But Xu Jinzhi had refused, saying she wanted to help cook, even if it was just to assist on the sidelines.

Xie Yanchuan acquiesced to Xu Jinzhi’s actions, allowing her to "interfere" alongside him.

Half an hour later, a simple meal of two dishes and a soup was ready, and the two sat down at the dining table to start eating.

Tasting the familiar flavors again, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help wanting to cry, missing Xie Yanchuan terribly.

It had nothing to do with anything else; it was just the simple longing for Xie Yanchuan.

Now that Xie Yanchuan had finally come to her side, if nothing unexpected happened, he could truly stay by her side forever this time.

After finishing the meal, Xu Jinzhi said, "Rest for a while. Later, I’ll take you out to familiarize yourself with the surroundings so that when I’m busy, you can move around on your own."

"Okay," Xie Yanchuan nodded in agreement.

He didn’t rush to ask anything; there was no need. As he spent more days here, gradually adapting, he would naturally understand the current situation.

Xie Yanchuan took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Xu Jinzhi closely followed at his side. They had been apart for so long, and now that they had reunited, Xu Jinzhi didn’t want to be separated for a moment.

But as there were only two people dining, there weren’t many dishes, and Xie Yanchuan quickly got them cleaned up.
