In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 214 I Will Never Forgive You
Chapter 214: Chapter 214 I Will Never Forgive You
Xu Jinzhi took the phone, "Dad."
"Uh-huh, okay, I know."
"Don’t worry, I will rest well."
"Alright."
The call ended quickly, and Xu Jinzhi handed the phone back to Xie Yanchuan.
Xie Yanchuan had already served Xu Jinzhi some food, "Let’s eat."
As Xu Jinzhi ate, she said to Xie Yanchuan, "I remember you have classes in the afternoon. I’m feeling much better now; you should go to school in the afternoon."
"It’s fine, I’ve already swapped classes with another teacher," said Xie Yanchuan.
How could he just leave her alone with something like this? He had already communicated with the school in advance.
"I’m really okay," Xu Jinzhi continued, knowing that Xie Yanchuan wasn’t as free as herself.
"I’ve already arranged it with the other teachers this morning. It’s really not a problem."
"Okay then." Xu Jinzhi stopped insisting and continued eating.
But as Xu Jinzhi ate, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh as if she was tired, bearing the weight of many things in her heart.
Seeing this, Xie Yanchuan slightly furrowed his brows. He always felt that Xu Jinzhi’s current pregnancy was completely different from when she was carrying Tuantuan.
It wasn’t just because of the nightmare she had last night, but that nightmare had truly magnified her emotions.
Yet Xie Yanchuan really didn’t know what had happened. This time, she didn’t even have the discomfort of morning sickness.
Was there something he wasn’t doing right?
Xie Yanchuan didn’t rush to say anything at this moment, waiting until after the meal was over and Tuantuan was taken for a nap by the nanny.
Xu Jinzhi had slept until noon before getting up, feeling tired but unable to sleep, so after the meal, she and Xie Yanchuan sat down in the living room.
Seeing that Xu Jinzhi was not in high spirits, even looking somewhat listless, Xie Yanchuan glanced outside the villa. Although the wind was a bit strong, the sunlight was bright, and it wasn’t cold to go out at this moment.
"Jinzhi, do you want to go out for some fresh air?" Xie Yanchuan asked.
Xu Jinzhi looked outside the villa upon hearing this, then nodded, "Okay."
The two of them came out from the villa, and when the wind blew, Xu Jinzhi didn’t feel cold but somewhat relieved instead.
Xie Yanchuan led Xu Jinzhi to a sunny spot and sat down on a bench.
With no one else around, just the two of them, Xie Yanchuan hesitated for a moment, but still couldn’t help asking, "Jinzhi, do you have something on your mind?"
"Why do you ask?" Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan, her tone very calm, concealing any trace of abnormality.
Xie Yanchuan paused for a few seconds, then continued, "Jinzhi, I can tell that you’ve been appearing quite tired lately."
"I know you’re carrying a baby, and physical fatigue is inevitable, but I can also tell that it’s not just physical tiredness."
"I don’t think it’s work-related stress."
Even though Xie Yanchuan didn’t understand business matters, the Xu Group was doing well, and in terms of work, no one could pressure Xu Jinzhi.
"So Jinzhi, is there something I’m not doing well enough?" Xie Yanchuan couldn’t figure out why Xu Jinzhi seemed downcast.
Xu Jinzhi blinked, seemingly unsure of how to explain things to Xie Yanchuan properly.
But after a long while, Xu Jinzhi still didn’t know what she should say.
"Jinzhi, if you don’t tell me, I’ll never know what you’re worrying or scared about," Xie Yanchuan said with a somewhat serious expression.
He didn’t understand psychology, but Xu Jinzhi’s state was worrying him.
The sudden fever last night was a sign.
Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan and hesitated for quite a while before saying somewhat helplessly, "I’ve been having nightmares recently that have made me feel quite panicked."
"Nightmares?" Xie Yanchuan frowned, still unaware of this.
Then he thought about last night’s events; Xu Jinzhi had a nightmare and kept repeating warnings to herself.
"Is the nightmare about me?" Xie Yanchuan asked again.
Xu Jinzhi hesitated for only two seconds before nodding, "Yes."
"Can you tell me what you dreamt about?" Xie Yanchuan thought for a moment, it must be something terrible, or else Xu Jinzhi wouldn’t be so panicked.
"I dreamt that you met with an accident and left me, Tuantuan, and the unborn baby behind," Xu Jinzhi said with a hoarse voice, her eyes becoming moist.
This wasn’t just a nightmare but something that had really happened; however, she couldn’t tell Xie Yanchuan that, so she had to say it was just a nightmare.
Xie Yanchuan felt extremely heartbroken as he looked at Xu Jinzhi and promised her earnestly, "It’s just a nightmare; I won’t leave you or the child. I will always be with you."
Xu Jinzhi didn’t say anything, only feeling a deep sense of distress and injustice inside.
He couldn’t possibly achieve that; he had left her, Tuantuan, and Sui Sui in his previous life!
"Jinzhi, don’t be afraid," Xie Yanchuan moved closer to Xu Jinzhi and then reached out to hold her, "I will always be with you, trust me."
After a long moment, Xu Jinzhi raised her hands to hold Xie Yanchuan and said softly, "Xie Yanchuan, you have to keep your word, or this time I definitely won’t forgive you."
"Mhm, I’ll keep my word," Xie Yanchuan promised Xu Jinzhi, but he didn’t notice the "this time" Xu Jinzhi had just mentioned.
Otherwise, Xie Yanchuan would have wondered why it was "this time."

Because of her fever that day, Xu Zhen ordered Xu Jinzhi to rest at home, and she hadn’t gone to the company for two days.
Xie Yanchuan, on the other hand, returned to school for classes and went to the lab as usual, but after finishing his work, he always rushed back home first thing.
"The semester ends next week, and then it’s the winter break. I can stay at home with you then," Xie Yanchuan said.
These past two days at home, Xu Jinzhi’s fever had completely subsided, and she was feeling much more energetic, no longer looking as exhausted as she had the previous days.
Feeling better, the wild and anxious thoughts had also somewhat subsided, and the panic brought on by the nightmares was gradually disappearing.
"It’s fine, in a couple of days I’m planning to go back to work too," Xu Jinzhi said.
"Don’t you need to rest a bit longer? Didn’t Dad say you could go back to work after the new year?" Xie Yanchuan frowned slightly, asking with some concern.
Xu Jinzhi was finally feeling better, and now she wanted to get back to work, which naturally made Xie Yanchuan a bit worried. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
