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

A new year began, and as the Spring Festival gradually approached, the company became busier.

Song You now had the assistance of Song Yun, which made things a bit easier for her, but she still had to stay busy and work overtime until very late every day.

However, every time Song You worked overtime, she would receive food delivery from outside. As for who ordered it, Song You hesitated for a moment but quickly confirmed it was He Jingyi.

Every time she looked at the takeout, Song You felt very conflicted, debating whether she should eat it or not.

It wasn’t just the takeout. One day, she caught a cold and didn’t realize it herself, thinking it was just a minor cold and no big deal.

But not long after, she received a plethora of cold medicines and a stewed pear soup.

These acts were all He Jingyi’s doing, but now He Jingyi wouldn’t appear before her except for work, and he especially wouldn’t message to disturb her.

He just did these things silently.

Song You originally thought that giving each other some time, they would both forget about one another, but now, how was she supposed to forget He Jingyi?

It was just impossible!

She wanted to curse at someone, but now He Jingyi didn’t contact her at all, and to take the initiative to contact He Jingyi would be causing trouble for herself, wouldn’t it?

But to do nothing like this, what exactly was she to He Jingyi?

Song You felt that He Jingyi was simply "scheming"!

It wasn’t until two days before New Year’s Eve, when the company closed for holiday, that Song You finally had some downtime. It had been a while since she and Xu Jinzhi had seen each other, and they decided to dine together for entertainment.

During the meal, Xu Jinzhi was messaging Xie Yanchuan, and seeing the happy expression on Xu Jinzhi’s face, Song You was genuinely happy for her.

It was just at that moment that Song You couldn’t help but think of He Jingyi.

Thinking of He Jingyi, the originally good mood instantly turned a bit heavier, and Song You looked across at Xu Jinzhi.

She knew that if she spoke up, Xu Jinzhi would definitely support her unconditionally. To Xu Jinzhi, He Jingyi really didn’t matter at all.

But Song You just felt awkward in her heart, any connection, no matter how tiny, with Xu Jinzhi was simply not allowed in her view.

Yet Song You couldn’t help but think, her current hesitation, wasn’t it already a betrayal?

Feeling somewhat ashamed, Song You lowered her head, unwilling to face all this.

Xu Jinzhi finished messaging Xie Yanchuan and put down her phone, then she started sharing some recent events with Song You.

Aside from Song Yun, no one knew about what was going on between He Jingyi and Song You, and their conversation steered clear of emotional matters, so it didn’t touch that area.

When it was time to leave, Xie Yanchuan came to pick up Xu Jinzhi.

Song You stood in place, watching them leave before getting into her car and driving off.

Upon arriving home and standing at the door, Song You felt a wave of intense emptiness rushing towards her, swiftly engulfing her.

In an instant, Song You suddenly missed He Jingyi terribly.

Her heart began to beat violently, and she looked somewhat excited. Song You clenched her teeth hard, and after a moment, it was as if she had finally made up her mind.

Song You turned and left her apartment, quickly walking to the elevator, pressing the button.

Since the elevator was on her floor when she had come up, it opened immediately after she pressed the button. She hurried into the elevator and pressed the floor where He Jingyi lived.

With a "ding," Song You exited the elevator, directly heading to He Jingyi’s apartment door and pressed the doorbell without hesitation, fearing that if she was slow, she would start hesitating again.

So Song You didn’t dare to pause even for a moment.

Standing there stiffly, her heart felt somewhat nervous, wondering what she should say when she saw He Jingyi.

Song You thought it over and over, but couldn’t decide what to say, just feeling incredibly anxious.

But as time ticked by, the door that should have opened remained closed, and the person who should have appeared did not. Song You’s nervous heart started to feel more complicated.

Why isn’t the door opening? Is he not home?

Unable to hold back, Song You pressed the doorbell again. Could it be he didn’t hear it or was busy with other things and couldn’t come right away?

Song You continued to stare at the door, waiting for He Jingyi to open it.

But the door remained unopened.

The agitation and tension that had been in her heart began to calm down, yet Song You still stood there unmoved.

It was no surprise, really. He Jingyi had moved here because of her, and as for now, he might have left a long time ago.

And besides, tomorrow was New Year’s Eve. Even if He Jingyi still lived here ordinarily, by now he would have already gone back to the He Family.

The hallway wasn’t cold, but Song You’s mind had cooled down thoroughly.

After finally acting on impulse, and He Jingyi just happened not to be there. Did it mean that there was no fate between them?

After a while, Song You couldn’t help but scoff, then she turned and went upstairs.

The large apartment was empty, just housing Song You alone, and she would not need to work tomorrow, so she would just return to the Song Family for a meal in the evening.

So, Song You had time. She first took a bath, then selected a bottle of alcohol from the liquor cabinet and started drinking alone.

When the doorbell rang, Song You had already drunk quite a bit. She was bewildered about who it could be.

With He Jingyi not around, who else could it be at this late hour?

Song Yun, maybe?

While thinking, Song You stood up and walked towards the door. Although she had been drinking, she was still aware of potential danger, so she didn’t blindly open the door but instead peeked through the video doorbell first.

Then, in the video display, she saw the person she hadn’t been able to see earlier.

Song You was taken aback. She saw He Jingyi at the door, looking somewhat anxious, her mind blank.

But she didn’t open the door.

Why not? Hadn’t she just gone downstairs specifically to find He Jingyi?

That was easy. She didn’t want to see He Jingyi now, so she decided not to open the door.

After the doorbell stopped and rang again, Song You still made no move, just blankly watching.

But as she watched, He Jingyi started pounding on the door and even yelling loudly, "Song You!"

Even through the door, Song You could clearly hear He Jingyi’s voice. This wasn’t a one-apartment-per-floor kind of place; He Jingyi’s actions were disturbing the peace, weren’t they?

Song You, who had not planned to open the door, now had no choice but to do so, otherwise she would surely be complained about.

Opening the door, Song You looked at He Jingyi and said irritably, "What’s with the ghostly yelling and banging in the dead of night? Are you out of your mind?"

He Jingyi didn’t respond but just looked at Song You in front of him, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
