In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 186: Two Years Later

Two years later.

When Xu Jinzhi left the house in the morning, Tuantuan followed her like a little tail, looking like he wanted to go with her.

"What’s wrong with Tuantuan?" Xu Jinzhi was puzzled and stopped to ask Tuantuan.

Tuantuan was now over two years old; he hadn’t started preschool yet. Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan had decided he would start in the latter half of the year.

So, he always stayed at home, and usually, when Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan left for work, Tuantuan would send them to the door, then watch them leave.

But today Tuantuan followed Xu Jinzhi, looking like he wanted to get in the car with her—a behavior last seen when he was under a year old.

Tuantuan blinked his big watery eyes, looking at Xu Jinzhi without intending to speak.

Seeing this, Xu Jinzhi spoke softly and tenderly, "Mom is going to work now, Tuantuan, play at home by yourself, and mom will come back in the evening, okay?"

However, Tuantuan did not respond to Xu Jinzhi. His tiny hands couldn’t grasp Xu Jinzhi’s entire hand; he just held onto two of her fingers and did not want to let go.

Xu Jinzhi patiently asked, "What’s wrong, Tuantuan? Tell mom."

Tuantuan still showed no intention of speaking, so Xu Jinzhi just patiently waited, showing not the slightest hint of urgency.

Actually, Tuantuan looked exactly like he did in his previous life, but his personality was somewhat different.

He Shuying said that Tuantuan was just like Xie Yanchuan as a child. Xie Yanchuan was always quiet, doing things he enjoyed peacefully.

Tuantuan in the past life was also very quiet and well-behaved, but in this life, he was more reticent.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t know what to make of it; the only difference was that he was premature.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t understand, could personality be related to being premature?

Regardless of whether there was a connection, Tuantuan’s personality in this life was more reserved, and interacting with him required more patience.

Moreover, Xu Jinzhi even sharply noticed that Tuantuan seemed less intelligent than in his previous life.

Yet, Xu Jinzhi had never spoken of this; no matter what, he was still her child, and she would always love Tuantuan.

After a long while, Tuantuan finally said in his milky voice, "Pick up Daddy together."

Xu Jinzhi was initially stunned, then quickly understood Tuantuan’s meaning.

Xie Yanchuan had gone to City S for an academic exchange and had been gone for half a month; he was returning today by a flight after ten.

Perhaps Tuantuan had overheard her talking to Xie Yanchuan on the phone last night about her going to the airport to pick him up this afternoon, which is why he now wanted to leave the house with her.

"Does Tuantuan miss Daddy?" Xu Jinzhi asked tenderly.

Tuantuan nodded, trying to count on his fingers how many days it had been since he last saw Daddy, but staring at his opened little hands, he couldn’t articulate it.

In the end, Tuantuan simply folded his hands and said seriously, "Long time no see."

Not sure how many days, but it had been a long time no see.

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but laugh, "Yes, our Tuantuan hasn’t seen Daddy for a long time."

Xu Jinzhi thought about it again, then discussed with Tuantuan, "Mom has to go pick up Dad later, Tuantuan can come with Mom to work now, and then in the afternoon, we’ll go pick up Dad together, okay?"

Tuantuan nodded vigorously, softly agreeing, "Okay."

So Xu Jinzhi asked the nanny to pack some of Tuantuan’s things, and then they went to the company together.

Because she had been delayed at home for a while, Xu Jinzhi arrived at the company slightly later than usual.

Normally, Xu Jinzhi wouldn’t be late, and she hadn’t mentioned that she wouldn’t be coming to the office today, so Assistant Chen timely made a call to Xu Jinzhi.

Having confirmed that his boss was already on the way and would soon arrive at the company, Assistant Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once at the company, Xu Jinzhi held Tuantuan’s hand and walked forward, but since Tuantuan was quite short, it was a bit inconvenient for Xu Jinzhi to walk that way.

Behind them followed the nanny, who had been looking after Tuantuan since his birth, and quickly came forward, "Madam, let me carry him."

But Xu Jinzhi didn’t let the nanny carry Tuantuan; instead, she just had the nanny carry Tuantuan’s spare items while she picked up Tuantuan herself.

The people in the office building couldn’t help but take a second look when they saw Mr. Xu bring their son, and then some sighed sentimentally and whispered among colleagues.

Tuantuan seemed a bit restrained and instinctively clung tighter to his mom’s neck upon noticing all the gazes.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t say much and just carried Tuantuan into her office.

However, Xu Jinzhi had to attend a meeting in a while, and after arriving at the office, she quietly told Tuantuan, "Mom is going to a meeting, Tuantuan can play with the nanny for a while, okay?"

Tuantuan nodded his head, agreeing very obediently.

After that, Xu Jinzhi told the nanny that if there was anything, someone could come to the meeting room to fetch her.

After giving instructions, the Xu Family then left their office to attend the meeting.

The meeting lasted for over an hour, and when Xu Jinzhi came out, she found that there was no one in her office.

Xu Jinzhi was puzzled, so she stepped out of her office and casually asked a subordinate whose desk was in the open area, "Have you seen my Tuantuan and the nanny?"

The subordinate immediately answered, "Right after you went to the meeting, the chairman came down and took the young master away."

Xu Jinzhi paused, then nodded, "Got it."

Knowing that her own father had taken him, Xu Jinzhi wasn’t anxious and went back to her office.

Taking advantage of the time, she first handled the work in her hands, so she would be free in the afternoon to pick up Xie Yanchuan.

Another hour passed, and someone knocked on the door of Xu Jinzhi’s office; without waiting for her to speak, Xu Zhen had already entered with Tuantuan in his arms.

"It’s getting late; stop working, and let’s take Tuantuan to eat," Xu Zhen said straightforwardly when he entered.

After all, no one should let their grandson go hungry.

"Mom!" Tuantuan, seeing his mom, was very happy and struggled to come down; Xu Zhen then put him down.

Xu Jinzhi looked at the time, it was just past eleven o’clock; it wasn’t too early or too late, but it was indeed a good time to go.

"Okay, then I’ll call the hotel to order food," Xu Jinzhi said as she took out her cell phone.
