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

Song You and He Jingyi had actually known each other a long, long time ago, but since there was little interaction between the two families and she was several years older than He Jingyi, naturally they couldn’t have played together.

So, to Song You, He Jingyi was just someone she knew but had no connection to—a stranger.

Another time He Jingyi left an impression was when he was pursuing Xu Jinzhi.

When Song You found out that brat was chasing Xu Jinzhi, she almost died laughing.

She laughed at He Jingyi and laughed at Xu Jinzhi.

Because it involved Xu Jinzhi, she then learned a lot about He Jingyi.

Later, when Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan got together, He Jingyi completely lost his chance.

He gradually disappeared from her life, until the He Family and the Song Family established a business partnership.

The two of them came into contact again.

On Christmas night, Song You had to work overtime until very late.

When she was going home, because it was Christmas and it was snowing, the roads were inevitably jammed. What usually took half an hour, now after half an hour, Song You was still stuck at the intersection in front of the company.

But regarding the traffic jam, Song You had no options but to wait. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

As time passed slowly, Song You’s expression grew darker, feeling a faint sense of doom.

When she finally got home, it was already past midnight.

Song You took a shower, got ready and was about to go to bed when she suddenly heard the doorbell. Startled, Song You wondered who it could be at this hour.

But the doorbell continued, letting her know someone was outside.

Frowning uncontrollably and with a sense of caution, Song You walked to the door and saw the person outside through the peephole.

A moment later, Song You opened the door, "What are you doing here?"

He Jingyi looked at Song You with a plaintive expression, but said nothing.

Song You was completely baffled and asked again, "What are you doing here?"

"I’ve been waiting for a long time," He Jingyi said pitifully.

Song You was stunned for a while before it dawned on her, somewhat speechlessly, "Haven’t I already rejected you?"

Yesterday, He Jingyi had asked her to have dinner today, but she had flatly refused, and by today, she had already forgotten about it.

He Jingyi didn’t speak, just kept staring at Song You with those plaintive eyes, making it seem like Song You was some kind of heartbreaker.

After a long stare, Song You finally asked, "So, what do you want to do now?"

Song You felt no guilt about He Jingyi having waited so long, since she had clearly turned him down before. If He Jingyi insisted, that was his own affair.

It took a while before He Jingyi finally said, "I haven’t eaten anything yet, I’m hungry."

"I’ll order you some takeout," Song You said, then went to close the door.

But the next moment, He Jingyi stopped her, saying, "I want to eat something you make."

"You’ve got some nerve!" Song You said with a mix of anger and laughter.

After Song You spoke, He Jingyi was silent again. He didn’t just barge in, but he kept hold of the door, not letting go.

Song You ground her teeth in frustration and finally compromised, turning around without a word and walked back into the apartment, He Jingyi immediately followed her in.

Song You had been ready to rest, but with He Jingyi’s sudden appearance, she had no choice but to cook something for him.

There wasn’t much left to eat in the fridge—mainly, Song You didn’t know how to make much.

In the end, she chose to cook some frozen dumplings she got from her aunt.

Twenty minutes later, Song You and He Jingyi were sitting together at the dining table, He Jingyi eating the dumplings while Song You watched.

Looking at He Jingyi, Song You couldn’t help but frown and finally opened up, "He Jingyi, there’s no chance between us, stop bothering me from now on."

He Jingyi paused in his eating, lifted his head to look at Song You with his dark eyes, "Why is it not possible?"

"I’m much older than you, you just seem like a kid in my eyes, how could I possibly like you?"

He Jingyi put down his chopsticks, wanting to argue against Song You’s words, but she didn’t give He Jingyi a chance to speak, continuing, "Besides, you chased Jinzhi before—I definitely can’t like you!"

"You know I never actually dated Xu Jinzhi!" He Jingyi knew that all the excuses about age were just pretexts; Song You didn’t want to be with him because he had pursued Xu Jinzhi before.

"But in my eyes, having chased her doesn’t cut it anymore." Although it was true that He Jingyi never got together with Jinzhi, she had already associated He Jingyi with Xu Jinzhi.

She was never going to be with He Jingyi; Jinzhi’s leftovers were not what she coveted.

He Jingyi didn’t know what else he could say, for he couldn’t change the fact that he had pursued Xu Jinzhi before.

Even though he had realized that what he felt for Xu Jinzhi wasn’t love, it was all the same to Song You.

Seeing He Jingyi staying silent, Song You sighed heavily and earnestly told him, "Stop being stubborn. There are so many people better looking and better than me. Go and find someone else."

As long as he wasn’t fixated on her, anyone would do.

He Jingyi still looked at Song You, and after a while, he lowered his head and continued eating his dumplings.

Song You, seeing his demeanor, knew her words were in vain and couldn’t help wanting to swear.

So young yet so foolish.

After finishing his meal, He Jingyi carried the bowl to the kitchen and washed all the utensils he had used himself.

Once everything was cleaned up, He Jingyi said in a gentle voice, "You should rest early. Goodnight."

After saying that, He Jingyi turned and left, not giving Song You another chance to speak.

Song You just stood there, watching He Jingyi leave her apartment, the door gently closing as if he had never been there.

Song You was speechless, yet there was nothing she could do. She turned off the lights and went back to her bedroom.

But as Song You lay down, she tossed and turned, struggling to fall asleep for a long time.

She wrestled with it until late before finally succumbing to sleep.

The next day.

When Song You got up early, she felt as if she hadn’t rested at all.

The maid had already prepared breakfast. Song You had little appetite, ate a little, then left the house.

But Song You didn’t expect to run into He Jingyi in the elevator early in the morning.

The moment she saw He Jingyi, her teeth ached. She slightly lowered her head, not even wanting to say hello.

But He Jingyi just wouldn’t let Song You have her way, he gently said, "It’s snowing today; the roads are slippery. Be careful while driving."
