In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 164: The Bodyguard Arranged by Xu Zhen

"Youyou," Xu Jinzhi called out with some concern.

Although Song You had long seen through Song Jian’s true nature, he was still her biological father. For Song You, it always felt different.

Even now, he continued trying to harm her relentlessly; how could Song You not be upset?

Song You remained silent for a while before finally speaking with a hint of sarcasm, "I’m fine. With their little tricks, they haven’t managed to kick me out of the Song Family all these years, and they won’t be able to in the future either."

"As long as you’re not sad, it’s fine," Xu Jinzhi said.

Song You smiled, "I indeed find it somewhat incomprehensible, but it’s okay, I won’t be sad."

"Good," Xu Jinzhi let out a slight sigh of relief and didn’t dwell on the topic any longer. Such matters could only be fully understood by Song You herself.

"If nothing else, let’s leave it here for now, I’ll go back to sleep for a bit and build up the energy for battle," Song You joked, not forgetting to make light of the situation.

Xu Jinzhi, a bit helpless, told Song You to rest before hanging up the phone.

After speaking with Song You, Xu Jinzhi called in Assistant Wen. Assistant Wen quickly came in and stood respectfully in front of the desk, waiting for Xu Jinzhi’s instructions.

"Look into Zhao Qinghe for me, and have someone keep an eye on him as well," Xu Jinzhi directed.

Even though Xu Zhen’s side had already arranged surveillance, Xu Jinzhi felt it was better to be extra cautious.

Assistant Wen, upon hearing the instructions, did not ask further questions and simply went on to carry them out.

By the afternoon when Xu Jinzhi left the company, the bodyguards arranged by Xu Zhen had already arrived.

There were three in total, with the driver from the security company driving Xu Jinzhi’s car and another bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat. Following them was another car with two more bodyguards.

All three, hired by the security company, were responsible for protecting Xu Jinzhi’s safety without interfering with her normal life.

Xu Jinzhi left work early that day, took a roundabout route to pick up Xie Yanchuan, and had already informed him in advance, so Xie Yanchuan was waiting at the school gate.

As soon as Xie Yanchuan got into the car, he noticed the unfamiliar man sitting in the front passenger seat, which inevitably raised some questions in his mind.

Before Xie Yanchuan could ask, Xu Jinzhi explained first, "That’s the bodyguard my dad arranged for me."

"Bodyguard?" Xie Yanchuan was puzzled, not sure why a bodyguard would be suddenly assigned to Xu Jinzhi, but he was somewhat familiar with the affairs of these wealthy families.

Having someone close to Xu Jinzhi meant one thing: she was not safe, and therefore they had arranged for protection.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t hide anything from Xie Yanchuan and briefly relayed the situation regarding Zhao Qinghe.

After listening, Xie Yanchuan’s forehead furrowed with worry.

Xu Jinzhi comforted him, "He hasn’t done anything yet, just worried he might do something rash one day. So, my dad thinks it’s safer to have someone around just in case."

"Right, better to be cautious," Xie Yanchuan nodded in agreement, and then looked in the rearview mirror, indeed spotting the second car Xu Jinzhi mentioned.

Seeing Xie Yanchuan’s continued concern, Xu Jinzhi reached out and held his hand, hoping to ease his worries.

Xie Yanchuan held Xu Jinzhi’s hand back and said in a deep voice, "It’s going to be okay."

Due to Zhao Qinghe’s actions, Xie Yanchuan became more cautious as well.

From that day on, Xie Yanchuan accompanied Xu Jinzhi every day when they left the house. However, their work schedules were different, and Xie Yanchuan couldn’t pick Xu Jinzhi up from work every day.

But on days he couldn’t, Xie Yanchuan would call to make sure Xu Jinzhi got home safely.

Time flew by.

It was already winter, and just last month, Xu Jinzhi was still complaining about the heat, but now she had started to feel the cold.

After all, City A didn’t really have an autumn. Summer was almost immediately followed by winter.

Xu Jinzhi was now almost six months pregnant and easily tired due to her condition. Coupled with the cold weather, she felt even lazier and more reluctant to move.

Xu Jinzhi was a strange person, though; she kept saying she didn’t want to get up. In reality, she didn’t need to go to the office at all, and no one would fault her for it.

But when the time came, Xu Jinzhi would still dutifully climb out of bed, get ready as usual, have breakfast downstairs, and then head to work like any other day.

On the way to work, Xu Jinzhi leaned on Xie Yanchuan’s shoulder and murmured with particular weakness, "I’m so sleepy."

Xie Yanchuan adjusted Xu Jinzhi’s head to prevent it from sliding down and whispered, "Then take a nap, I’ll wake you in half an hour."

Xie Yanchuan knew that although Xu Jinzhi complained about being tired and sleepy, she persisted in going to work, indicating she still wanted to work in her heart.

So Xie Yanchuan didn’t just let her rest and skip work in response to her remarks.

He believed if he even suggested such a thing, Xu Jinzhi would definitely become unhappy.

The baby was important, but so was Xu Jinzhi’s happiness; he wouldn’t let her be unhappy. Moreover, the baby was developing well, as confirmed during the monthly check-ups.

Xu Jinzhi really did close her eyes, but Xie Yanchuan continued to watch over her attentively.

However, Xu Jinzhi didn’t fall asleep; just a few minutes later, she opened her eyes, yawned, blinked, and tried to perk up.

When they arrived at the company, Xie Yanchuan spoke softly, "I’ll pick you up this afternoon."

"Okay," Xu Jinzhi nodded in agreement.

Today was Xie Xingchuan’s birthday, so Xu Jinzhi and her party had to return to the Xie Family’s old house earlier for dinner.

After watching Xu Jinzhi enter the company, Xie Yanchuan then departed.

Currently, Xu Jinzhi’s work was basically confined to the office, with virtually no need for fieldwork.

In the morning, Song You brought Song Yun to the company for a meeting; both families’ companies had a recent collaboration, which was facilitated by Xu Jinzhi.

It also served as a gift for Song Yun, recently entering the Song Family, to help him firmly establish his position.

After the meeting concluded in the conference room, Xu Jinzhi led them back to her own office.

Song Yun, even if he appeared mature and serious, had only just graduated from university. Although he had been training with Song You for a while, he still seemed somewhat immature, especially when he saw Xu Jinzhi in private, his face flushed and his voice shook as he called, "Sister."

Xu Jinzhi and Song You exchanged glances and couldn’t help wanting to laugh.
