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

In her past life, Xie Linchuan had been her intended match for an alliance through marriage. As for Xie Yanchuan, Xu Jinzhi had absolutely no idea what he was up to.

Therefore, Xu Jinzhi wanted to find out what Xie Yanchuan was doing now, and had no choice but to have someone investigate.

"Xie... Xie Yanchuan is who?" Assistant Chen looked bewildered at his boss.

Xu Jinzhi was startled for a moment, recalling that the Xie Family was influential in City A, but few people knew of Xie Yanchuan. She pursed her lips and continued, "He's the second young master of the Xie Family."

"Xie... Yan... Chuan!" Xu Jinzhi enunciated each word deliberately.

Assistant Chen got it. Even though he didn't understand why they needed to investigate the second young master of the Xie Family, he still nodded and agreed.

"Then off you go," Xu Jinzhi waved a hand dismissively.

Assistant Chen then turned and left.

Xu Jinzhi was left alone in the office. She didn't rush to work and instead leaned back in her chair, thinking about everything related to Xie Yanchuan in her past life. As she thought, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Assistant Chen was very capable. While busy with his own work, he managed to gather Xie Yanchuan's information in just a few hours.

Xu Jinzhi looked at the information in her hands. Xie Yanchuan lived a simple life. It only took a few sheets of paper to list out all his major and minor affairs.

That included the fact that Xie Yanchuan had not had a girlfriend to date.

The last sheet listed Xie Yanchuan's current course schedule at school.

Looking at the information in her hands, Xu Jinzhi was very satisfied with Assistant Chen's work capability.

A knock on the door sounded. Xu Jinzhi was about to speak when the office door was already being opened, and she looked up to see her father, Xu Zhen, rushing in from outside.

"Jinzhi, I've done some investigating. Xie Yanchuan has a stable job and a clean record with the opposite sex. Although he's somewhat reticent, his personality is gentle, not the kind of person with a hot temper."

"Even though he's not the heir to the family, he does get a considerable annual dividend. It's just that he always invests money into his own lab and often likes to sponsor underprivileged children, so he probably doesn't have much in hand."

"But that's okay, after all, our family is wealthy, and you certainly won't be short of money."

"So, taking everything into consideration, I think Xie Yanchuan is really a great choice. If we could get him to marry into our family, that would be fantastic."

Xu Zhen said all this in one breath, his words clearly showing his satisfaction with Xie Yanchuan.

Xu Jinzhi had been listening intently, only slightly closing the investigation report in her hands when her father wasn't looking.

After Xu Zhen finished speaking, Xu Jinzhi looked at her father seriously and said, "But didn't you say that the Xie Family wouldn't agree to let Xie Yanchuan marry into ours?"

"Ah!" Xu Zhen's face immediately showed disappointment.

Seeing such a look of regret on Xu Zhen's face, Xu Jinzhi laughed and said in all seriousness, "It's alright. Later on, I'll have two children with Xie Yanchuan, and let one of them take our family name. What do you think about that?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Their family had no throne to inherit, and Xu Jinzhi wasn't someone with outdated beliefs, but if it could make her father happy, she was willing to do so.

Xu Zhen looked at Xu Jinzhi, his expression going from disappointment to surprise and then to delight, "Great! This isn't an excessive request, the Xie Family will definitely agree!"

"Of course," Xu Jinzhi also pledged assuredly.

After a brief moment of excitement, Xu Zhen's smile slightly faded, and he tested the waters with Xu Jinzhi, "So, do you really like Xie Yanchuan?"

Xu Jinzhi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her elderly father with a "guess what" expression.

Xu Zhen continued, "I've thought about it, if you don't want to get married, that's fine too. After all, meeting an unreliable man is truly troubling, right..."

Speaking up to that point, Xu Zhen became somewhat melancholic, "It's just worrying about when you get older, and all of us aren't around anymore, what will you do then?"

Having lived a lifetime already, how could Xu Jinzhi not see through Xu Zhen's insincerity at this moment?

Xu Jinzhi shook her head, somewhat helplessly, "Don't worry, I honestly think that Xie Yanchuan is a decent person, so I chose him. I didn't mean to pull the wool over your eyes on purpose."

Having been called out by his own daughter, Xu Zhen smiled awkwardly, but at the same time, the worry in his heart reluctantly settled down, "That's good, that's good."

"Then I won't disturb your work, you're busy," Xu Zhen slightly adjusted his clothes and turned to walk out.

Watching her father's back as he left, Xu Jinzhi paused for a few seconds before suddenly speaking up, "Dad, if you meet the right person, don't miss out."

Xu Zhen turned and glared at Xu Jinzhi, "What nonsense are you talking about? I've been sincere to your mom! After I die, I still want to go find her!"

Xu Jinzhi was momentarily speechless, and Xu Zhen didn't give her the chance to respond before quickly leaving the office.

Watching the office door close, Xu Jinzhi smiled, and as she lowered her gaze, she saw that folder again.

A moment later, Xu Jinzhi stood up, took her bag, and walked out of the office. Just as she came out, she ran into Assistant Chen, who hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, Mr. Xu?"

"I have some personal matters to attend to," Xu Jinzhi said with a smile, and after taking a few steps, she added, "Call me if anything comes up."

"Okay," Assistant Chen agreed earnestly.

When the alarm sounded, Xie Yanchuan stopped what he was doing, and a fellow student beside him reminded, "Professor, it's time for your class."

"Mm, carry on," Xie Yanchuan carefully placed the reagent back and then turned to leave.

Soon, Xie Yanchuan emerged from the laboratory, holding the teaching materials for the upcoming class and headed towards the classroom.

The moment he stepped into the classroom, Xie Yanchuan acutely sensed something was amiss. His specialized course had neither too many nor too few students, but Xie Yanchuan had always had a good memory and could recall every student that attended his classes.

So, with just a glance, Xie Yanchuan spotted the unusual addition to the classroom.

There was an extra person in the last row, and that extra person was connected to him!

Seeing Xu Jinzhi, Xie Yanchuan was surprised; he had never imagined that Xu Jinzhi would appear here.

He instinctively felt that Xu Jinzhi was here to see him, but why would Xu Jinzhi want to see him?

Xie Yanchuan wondered, was it because of their impending marital union?

Xu Jinzhi also spotted Xie Yanchuan, she didn't miss the surprise in Xie Yanchuan's eyes, and she sweetly smiled at him and even raised her hand to wave at Xie Yanchuan.
