In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 193: Anyway, She is Now His Wife

"So, Mr. Zhong, what exactly are you trying to say to me?" Xie Yanchuan’s tone was indifferent.

The smile on Zhong Yu’s face faded, replaced by a flash of coldness as he continued, "Back in high school, Jinzhi said she didn’t want to date early and that we would start dating after she began university."

After Zhong Yu finished speaking, he carefully watched Xie Yanchuan’s expression, seeming to search for some sort of different emotion on his calm face.

But Xie Yanchuan remained very calm, at least outwardly, showing no sign of abnormality.

A prolonged silence instilled a flicker of doubt in the once proud man, "Don’t you want to say something?"

"What would you like me to say, Mr. Zhong?" Xie Yanchuan asked back, very calmly.

Should he have said something?

It appeared there was nothing to say, after all, Jinzhi was now his wife.

Regardless of whether what the other said was true, even if it was, he allowed Xu Jinzhi to have a past.

And the past was just the past, devoid of significance.

Although he might feel a bit jealous.

A glimmer of anger passed through Zhong Yu’s eyes, yes, it was anger, as he felt the other man didn’t even consider him worthy of attention.

As if he was also an insignificant person to Xu Jinzhi, so much so that he didn’t even evoke jealousy or envy.

"Four years ago, when I heard Jinzhi was getting married, I immediately bought a plane ticket, and I was already at the airport, but in the end, I didn’t board the flight."

"Because I heard about He Jingyi’s situation, heard how He Jingyi stopped Jinzhi outside the Xu Group building, only to return in disappointment."

"I was afraid that if I came back to see her, it would end up with the same result, so I chickened out, especially since it was I who had broken the promise back then."

"When I messaged her later, she had already blocked me, and my phone calls were blocked too, so I could only borrow someone else’s phone to call her with a new number."

"That was when she told me on the phone, saying to forget about forgiveness. There was no chance for us in this lifetime."

"But she holds grudges, and told me it was best not to come back, and even if I did, it was best not to show up before her, or she would never let me off the hook."

"Still, I don’t understand what you’re trying to convey, Mr. Zhong." As Xie Yanchuan listened, he felt that he still couldn’t grasp the point of the other man’s words.

While they were speaking, Xu Jinzhi had already noticed the conversation and saw the man beside Xie Yanchuan.

Xu Jinzhi was first taken aback, then frowned slightly, momentarily unable to recognize who the man beside Xie Yanchuan was.

He appeared to be talking to Xie Yanchuan, but Xie Yanchuan’s indifferent expression was so apparent that one glance was enough for Xu Jinzhi to know that Xie Yanchuan was impatient to talk to him.

As Xu Jinzhi prepared to take another look, the person beside her noticed her gaze and said with a smile, "That must be Zhong Yu from the Hengyu Zhong Family who is expanding their business overseas."

"I remember you two grew up together."

After the person finished speaking, Xu Jinzhi then remembered such a person. But as she recalled who he was, some memories also surfaced from the depths of her mind.

A hint of unease suddenly rose in Xu Jinzhi’s heart, "I’ll go over to greet them."

Saying this, Xu Jinzhi had already emerged from the crowd and walked towards Xie Yanchuan. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

As Xu Jinzhi was walking towards Xie Yanchuan, he seemed to sense something, meeting her gaze and then giving Xu Jinzhi a faint smile.

"If I hadn’t broken our appointment back then, the person with her now would probably be..." Zhong Yu was speaking to Xie Yanchuan. When Xie Yanchuan smiled, Zhong Yu also instinctively followed the direction he was looking.

Then Zhong Yu saw Xu Jinzhi approaching them.

Initially, Zhong Yu had a lot more to say to this man, but upon seeing Xu Jinzhi walking towards him, all his words were stuck in his throat.

Until Xu Jinzhi came up to them, Zhong Yu spoke first, "Jinzhi, long time no see."

In her naivety, Xu Jinzhi had indeed been angry because of this man’s broken promise.

But as someone who had lived another lifetime, she really couldn’t afford to remember some irrelevant people, let alone be angry.

Therefore, Xu Jinzhi looked at the man before her and also said quite calmly, "Long time no see."

Hearing Xu Jinzhi’s words, Zhong Yu’s heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, throbbing with pain, and he even felt his eyes getting warm.

Zhong Yu asked in a deep voice, "Have you been well these years?"

"Very well," Xu Jinzhi replied without hesitation.

Not waiting for Zhong Yu to continue, Xu Jinzhi turned to Xie Yanchuan and said softly, "The banquet is about to start; we should head over."

Xie Yanchuan nodded slightly, "Okay."

"Mr. Zhong, we’ll be leaving first," Xu Jinzhi said in an indifferent tone.

Xie Yanchuan also nodded faintly at Zhong Yu.

Clearly, Zhong Yu still wanted to talk to Xu Jinzhi, but she didn’t give him that chance and left with Xie Yanchuan, walking towards the prearranged banquet tables.

"What were you just talking about?" Xu Jinzhi asked quietly as they walked.

Xie Yanchuan wanted to say it was nothing, but when he saw Xu Jinzhi look at him, her eyes carrying a hint of cautiousness, he changed his mind.

Xie Yanchuan also lowered his voice, asking nonchalantly, "What do you think he would talk to me about?"

Xu Jinzhi was startled, then replied with a hint of guilt, "How would I know what he’d talk to you about?"

"Don’t you know what he wanted to tell me?" Xie Yanchuan persisted.

"Of course I don’t!" Xu Jinzhi asserted with conviction, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Xie Yanchuan gave a faint smile, "Yet I feel like you do know, and that you’re worried about what he might tell me."

"Not at all!" Xu Jinzhi glared at Xie Yanchuan, still firmly in denial, those were matters from many years ago after all.

As they were talking, they had arrived at their banquet table and sat down, surrounded by other guests, so they paused their conversation for the time being.

When the celebration banquet was nearly over, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan left the venue together, preparing to go back. However, before leaving, Xu Jinzhi visited the restroom.

What Xu Jinzhi didn’t expect was to encounter Zhong Yu coming out of the restroom, an encounter that was clearly not by chance, as he had been waiting for her deliberately outside the restroom.

Thinking about Zhong Yu cornering her outside the restroom, Xu Jinzhi was utterly exasperated.
