In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 219: What Exactly Did Xie Yanchuan Die From
Chapter 219: Chapter 219: What Exactly Did Xie Yanchuan Die From
Returning to the Xie Family ancestral home at lunchtime, the whole family sat together and enjoyed a lively lunch.
It was clear that Old Master Xie was genuinely delighted to see the family joyfully united.
After the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Tuantuan, who was already accustomed to taking naps, fell asleep not long after lying down, especially since he had been playing wildly with Xie Yihang all morning.
In contrast, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t fall asleep, and naturally, neither could Xie Yanchuan, whose attention was fully on Xu Jinzhi.
"Jinzhi, what are you thinking about?" Xie Yanchuan asked.
Xu Jinzhi opened her eyes and looked at Xie Yanchuan lying beside her. Suddenly, her eyes reddened, and tears slipped uncontrollably from her eyes.
Xie Yanchuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he called out with concern, "Jinzhi."
Xu Jinzhi remained lying down, looking at Xie Yanchuan in front of her, knowing that no matter how much she explained, she had already planted the seeds of doubt in Xie Yanchuan’s heart.
"Jinzhi, what’s really going on? Can you tell me, please?" Xie Yanchuan was very worried, but he dared not become impatient, fearing that his emotions would affect Xu Jinzhi.
Xu Jinzhi shed tears without making a sound, and even her tone of voice was remarkably calm as she spoke.
She said, "Xie Yanchuan, I have a secret, but I don’t know how to tell you."
Xu Jinzhi had few family members she was close to and even fewer friends, but there was one thing: once she trusted someone, she would always trust them.
Xie Yanchuan was someone she believed was worth trusting. She felt that it wouldn’t matter if Xie Yanchuan found out she was reborn.
What truly made it hard for her to speak was how Xie Yanchuan had died in his past life!
And for what reason did Xie Yanchuan become aware of the impending danger, and in the end, sacrificed himself to save her?
What about in this life?
"Can you tell me?" Xie Yanchuan asked softly.
Xu Jinzhi shook her head, and the tears came flooding out once more as she said with a sobbing voice, "I don’t know how to tell you."
Xie Yanchuan was silent for a moment, naturally wanting to know what was going on. Without knowing the problem, he was helpless in supporting Xu Jinzhi.
But she clearly didn’t want to tell him, and her breakdown wasn’t just because of the problem itself, but also because she couldn’t bring herself to speak about it.
After a brief silence, Xie Yanchuan embraced Xu Jinzhi, kissed her eyes gently, and said in a soft voice, "It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it."
"Jinzhi, just remember, whatever happens, I will be by your side, and I will help you resolve it."
He truly would stand by Xu Jinzhi, whatever it might be, never to back down!
Xu Jinzhi didn’t say anything, just clutched tightly at Xie Yanchuan’s clothing.
Just thinking that Xie Yanchuan had died for her in his past life made Xu Jinzhi wish he had been more selfish.
She couldn’t help but think, perhaps in this life, she shouldn’t be with Xie Yanchuan?
If they never met at all, then Xie Yanchuan certainly wouldn’t have died for her!
Xie Yanchuan just held Xu Jinzhi, not knowing when she had fallen asleep in his arms, but his thoughts wandered to the monk.
Xu Jinzhi had once lost control emotionally due to a nightmare combined with a fever, but afterwards, she tried hard to stabilize herself.
Her mood wasn’t great after that, but it never spiraled out of control like on that day.
However, today, Xu Jinzhi’s emotions were uncontrollable again.
Moreover, Xie Yanchuan’s intuition told him that this matter was definitely related to that old monk!
What exactly had the old monk said to Jinzhi?
Xie Yanchuan couldn’t figure it out.

On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Xu Jinzhi and her family of three got up early, got ready, went downstairs for breakfast, and then left home.
As for the past two years, they spent the morning visiting the grave of Xu Jinzhi’s mother.
The weather was also fine today, sunny and bright. When Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan arrived with Tuantuan, Xu Zhen had already cleaned around the gravestone.
Upon seeing Xu Jinzhi and the others arrive, Xu Zhen greeted them with a tepid, "You’re here."
"Grandpa," Tuantuan called out sweetly, trotting over first.
Xu Zhen then warmly pulled Tuantuan over and taught him, "Tuantuan, say hello to your grandma."
Tuantuan was not scared at all and started calling out to the gravestone in a sweet voice that sounded incredibly tender.
When they were done, Xu Zhen glanced at Xie Yanchuan and then slowed his pace, walking beside Xu Zhen.
"Is something the matter, Dad?" asked Xie Yanchuan.
Xu Zhen looked at Xu Jinzhi, who was walking ahead, and then turned his gaze back to Xie Yanchuan beside him, "Jinzhi’s condition after getting pregnant this time doesn’t seem very good."
Hearing this, Xie Yanchuan felt a twinge of guilt, "I’m sorry, I haven’t taken good care of her."
"Do you know the specific reason?" Xu Zhen continued.
Xie Yanchuan paused, then shook his head, "The specific reason is unclear, it might be due to hormonal changes causing emotional issues."
"I’ll try my best to guide her through it."
Over the years, Xu Zhen had come to understand Xie Yanchuan quite well; he treated Xu Jinzhi exceptionally well.
And Xu Zhen was somewhat aware of Xu Jinzhi’s situation; it was an issue of emotions.
The matter of developing depression during pregnancy was something Xu Zhen had heard about often, and now, observing Xu Jinzhi’s circumstances, he was indeed worried.
"You’ll figure it out, the baby is getting bigger now. If she can’t adjust her mood, then leave it to the professionals."
Xu Zhen’s advice was clear; if Xu Jinzhi couldn’t adjust, it would be best to consult a psychologist.
Xie Yanchuan’s expression grew serious as he watched Xu Jinzhi’s figure; she was holding Tuantuan’s hand and walking ahead.
It took him a while to respond in a heavy tone, "Mm."
When they got to the roadside, they prepared to part ways, and Xu Jinzhi reminded Xu Zhen, "Have a safe trip, and remember to message me when you arrive."
Ever since Xu Jinzhi married Xie Yanchuan, Xu Zhen hadn’t stayed in City A for the New Year; he traveled to a different place every year.
This year was no exception, and his ticket was already purchased. By their schedule, Xu Zhen should be heading to the airport now.
Xu Zhen, however, said, "I’m not going."
Xu Jinzhi was startled, followed by Xie Yanchuan.
"What are you looking at me for?" Xu Zhen said indifferently, "Can’t I change my mind about going?"
"Why? Is something wrong?" Xu Jinzhi was still surprised; the tickets were already bought, so why the sudden change of plans?
