In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 192: Barely Considered Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Barely Considered Childhood Sweethearts

The next day.

Although it wasn’t a big deal, Xu Jinzhi was still very angry, so angry that she couldn’t fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

Xie Yanchuan tried to soothe her for a long time, but eventually, he had no idea how to calm Xu Jinzhi’s raging emotions.

So he simply shifted her attention in another way, and Xu Jinzhi, wanting to redirect her own fury, assertively took the top position.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t stay arrogant for long before she ran out of energy, but she was unwilling to admit defeat. When had Xu Jinzhi ever conceded defeat?

Not even in bed!

So Xu Jinzhi kept persisting until, finally, she had no temper left, too exhausted to even want to move a finger. She didn’t know when she had dozed off.

In the morning, she woke up for a while with her biological clock, and heard Xie Yanchuan say, "It’s the weekend, sleep."

At that time, Xu Jinzhi was still in a daze, not even recalling the arrogant self from last night.

She heard that Xie Yanchuan was not going to work and then hugged him and fell back into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, in the bedroom, in the large bed, only Xu Jinzhi was left all alone.

Thinking back to last night, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but curse herself internally, ’If you are incompetent, accept it. Why be so stubborn?’

Lying on the bed doubting her life for a moment, Xu Jinzhi finally got up from the bed and dragged her sore body to wash up.

When she got downstairs, unsurprisingly, Xie Yanchuan was playing with Tuantuan, and they had built a large castle out of blocks.

Like every other day, Xu Jinzhi first went to Tuantuan, squatted beside him, kissed him, and then ignored Xie Yanchuan again as she stood up and went to the dining room for breakfast.

While eating breakfast, Xu Jinzhi replied to Song You on her phone. In the past two years, Song Yun had established a firm footing in the Song Group, and Song You finally had some rare time to rest and had just gone on a trip.

Lately, Xu Jinzhi was always bombarded with pictures from Song You — if it looked good here, she had to send it, and there too, constantly sending bunches of photos one moment and another bunch the next.

Sometimes Xu Jinzhi didn’t have time to look at them and would see them a few hours later — she had become too lazy to start looking at each photo.

Now that she happened to have some free time, Xu Jinzhi idly flipped through them and suddenly saw He Jingyi in one of the photos!

Xu Jinzhi was puzzled. Why would He Jingyi appear in Song You’s photos?

Xu Jinzhi did not think it was any coincidence. She directly messaged Song You, asking what the deal was with He Jingyi!

Song You didn’t reply to the message, but Xu Jinzhi’s intuition told her that they must be hiding something!

Once she caught up with Song You, she was determined to find out what was going on.

After Xu Jinzhi had breakfast, she also came to the small living room, took off her slippers, sat down on the sponge mat, and played blocks with Tuantuan for a while.

In the afternoon, a makeup team arrived at the house; tonight, Xu Jinzhi was to attend a celebration banquet, and Xie Yanchuan was going with her.

Xie Yanchuan quickly changed into his clothes and watched with Tuantuan as the makeup artist did Xu Jinzhi’s makeup.

Tuantuan tugged on Xie Yanchuan’s clothes. Xie Yanchuan looked down at him and gently asked, "What is it?"

"Mommy is pretty," Tuantuan said softly, his expression tinged with shyness.

Xie Yanchuan smiled and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mom is beautiful."

"Like a princess," Tuantuan continued.

Xu Jinzhi looked at the two chattering across from her and couldn’t help but ask, "What are you two talking about?"

"Tuantuan said you look pretty, like a princess," Xie Yanchuan replied.

Then, after Xie Yanchuan said this, Tuantuan dove straight into his arms, her face full of embarrassment.

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but find it amusing.

After Xu Jinzhi had finished packing up, she and Xie Yanchuan were ready to leave. They said goodbye to Tuantuan with all seriousness before departing.

On the way to the hotel, Xie Yanchuan glanced subtly at Xu Jinzhi beside him, his gaze calm yet filled with deep meaning.

Xu Jinzhi, noticing Xie Yanchuan’s gaze, glanced briefly downward, at the spot where a kiss mark from Xie Yanchuan had once been.

Xu Jinzhi looked up and glared at Xie Yanchuan, thankful it could be covered up, or else she would definitely have bitten Xie Yanchuan!

Xie Yanchuan pretended not to see Xu Jinzhi’s glaring and slightly smiled.

They were still early when they arrived at the hotel. The two got out of the car and walked toward the venue. Upon reaching the entrance, a greeter was there and Xie Yanchuan handed over their invitation.

"Please come inside," the greeter said with a smile.

The banquet hall wasn’t very crowded, and it wasn’t long before Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan were spotted, prompting some people to come over and greet them.

Xu Jinzhi handled the greetings with great poise, while Xie Yanchuan just stood by her side, merely a backdrop. But Xie Yanchuan was used to it, and he didn’t mind being seen as just an accessory by others.

At one point, Xu Jinzhi parted ways with Xie Yanchuan for a while, and some even came specifically to greet him.

Xie Yanchuan responded calmly, making sure not to embarrass anyone, nor did he make any promises.

When the socializing paused, Xie Yanchuan looked towards where Xu Jinzhi was standing in the crowd, still the center of attention as if surrounded by stars.

Watching Xu Jinzhi shine so brightly, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips. After thinking it over, he decided not to join her just yet.

"Isn’t such a Xu Jinzhi exceptionally dazzling?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded next to him. Xie Yanchuan subconsciously turned around, then saw the man beside him.

Xie Yanchuan paused, not recognizing the person. In fact, there weren’t many here he knew.

The man noticed Xie Yanchuan’s gaze, smiled softly, and began to introduce himself, "Hello, I am Zhong Yu."

"Hello, Xie Yanchuan." Xie Yanchuan didn’t understand the other person’s intent, so he simply reintroduced himself in return.

"If that’s so, we are two people completely unrelated, so I should introduce myself in a different way," Zhong Yu continued.

Xie Yanchuan didn’t speak, waiting for him to continue. frёeωebɳovel.com

After a brief silence, Zhong Yu went on, "I have known Jinzhi since we were children, all the way up to high school graduation after which I went abroad to study. All those years, you could say we were childhood sweethearts."

Xie Yanchuan slightly raised his eyebrows, seemingly understanding the hint, yet not quite getting it.

But he and Xu Jinzhi had been married for so long now, and this "rival" was just appearing?
