In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 248 Barely Considered Your Son’s Father
Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Barely Considered Your Son’s Father
"What are you doing? Why are you laughing so weirdly all of a sudden?" Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but ask.
Song You continued to laugh non-stop, but didn’t forget to satisfy Xu Jinzhi’s curiosity, "I was thinking about when He Jingyi used to chase you."
"Uh." Xu Jinzhi felt briefly awkward for a moment, unsure what kind of thought process led Song You to suddenly bring up that matter.
Song You still couldn’t stop laughing as she tried to contain her laughter and continued, "Look at him, he couldn’t get you back then, but now Tuantuan still has to call him godfather."
"Rounded up, He Jingyi is kind of your son’s father now!"
"Hahaha! That’s killing me!" After saying that, Song You couldn’t help bursting into laughter again.
While Xu Jinzhi felt awkward, she heard not only Song You’s laughter over the phone but also He Jingyi’s teeth-gritting yell at Song You’s name.
Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help getting the goosebumps, "Your brain really has some problems."
"Song You! What nonsense are you spouting?"
"When did I spout nonsense?"
"..."
Listening to the two’s playful bickering over the voice call, Xu Jinzhi emotionlessly hung up.
Xu Jinzhi continued with her breakfast, and by the time she was almost done, she saw Tuantuan rush in from outside.
Tuantuan hurriedly ran, but when he saw Xu Jinzhi, he still stopped to greet her obediently, "Good morning, Mom."
"Did Tuantuan finish building the snowman?" Xu Jinzhi asked with a smile.
Tuantuan shook his head, "Dad told me to come in and get a carrot."
"I see, then go ahead," replied Xu Jinzhi.
Tuantuan immediately ran towards the kitchen. Since he couldn’t reach it himself, he specially asked for the aunt’s help, and the little guy, with several carrots in his arms, dashed out again in a hurry.
Xu Jinzhi watched and couldn’t help but laugh, her expression looking exceptionally gentle.
After Xu Jinzhi finished breakfast, Xie Yanchuan and Tuantuan were still outside continuing their grand snowman project. Xu Jinzhi put on her coat and ensured Sui Sui was well-wrapped up before carrying Sui Sui outside the villa.
"Yiyah!" The little Sui Sui, going outside and seeing her father and brother, immediately began dancing with joy.
Xie Yanchuan heard the sound and subconsciously looked back, seeing the mother and daughter coming out of the villa.
"Why did you come out?" Xie Yanchuan had already learned from Tuantuan that Xu Jinzhi had gotten up, but since his snowman wasn’t finished yet, he hadn’t rushed inside.
But Xu Jinzhi usually disliked the cold. She rarely joined in when they were building snowmen.
Sui Sui hadn’t seen it yet. I brought Sui Sui out to take a look," Xu Jinzhi said, already walking over with Sui Sui in her arms.
As soon as she approached, Sui Sui reached out to Xie Yanchuan, showing a clear desire to be held by him. Xie Yanchuan, being all cold, naturally couldn’t hold Sui Sui.
Xie Yanchuan spoke gently, "Let Mom hold Sui Sui. Daddy will help Sui Sui build a snowman."
But the little one couldn’t understand at all and struggled, wanting to get down. Xu Jinzhi had no choice but to squat down and, with both hands, let Sui Sui sit precariously on her lap.
"Yah!"
Now Sui Sui was no longer fixated on Xie Yanchuan, but on the thing in front of her that was much larger than herself, seemingly something she had never seen before, and she was somewhat bewildered.
Xu Jinzhi smiled and explained to Sui Sui, "This is a snowman."
Nobody knew whether Sui Sui understood or not, but as soon as Xu Jinzhi’s voice fell, Sui Sui also started babbling "yiyiyaya."
"Do you want to try what it feels like?" Xu Jinzhi asked.
Xie Yanchuan then grabbed a handful of snow and stretched his hand out in front of Sui Sui.
Sui Sui didn’t understand at all and just reached out instinctively. Then her little hand smacked down on Xie Yanchuan’s hand, causing the snow in his palm to fall off.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"You keep going; hurry inside after you’re done," Xu Jinzhi told Xie Yanchuan.
Xie Yanchuan nodded and continued building the snowman while Xu Jinzhi held Sui Sui and watched from the side.
They made a total of four snowmen. There wasn’t enough snow in the yard, so Xie Yanchuan had to sweep together the surrounding snow to have enough.
The two large and two small snowmen clearly represented their family of four.
Standing behind the "snow family," their family of four had the servant take a photograph, and then they returned to the villa.
During their rest, Xu Jinzhi brought up Song You and He Jingyi’s upcoming marriage and their plan to have Tuantuan be the flower child.
Tuantuan didn’t know what a flower child was, so Xu Jinzhi explained, "That’s the little friend who gives the bride her ring during the wedding."
"Oh," Tuantuan replied noncommittally, neither disapproving nor approving. In any case, Tuantuan felt that if Mom wanted her to go, then she would go.
Xu Jinzhi didn’t know whether Tuantuan was really willing, but Song You was different, so even if Tuantuan was a tiny bit reluctant, Xu Jinzhi still wanted Tuantuan to go.
In the afternoon, they returned to the old house.
However, Old Master Xie’s health was getting worse due to his sudden collapse last time.
The whole family hadn’t sat in the living room for long before Old Master Xie was already very tired. He looked completely drained and eventually had to go back to his room to rest.
Because of Old Master Xie’s departure, the mood in the living room grew somber, and even the children seemed a bit at a loss.
Tuantuan leaned close to Xu Jinzhi and asked in a low voice, "Is Great Grandpa sick?"
Xu Jinzhi said, "Great Grandpa is old now, so his body is quite tired."
"Will he be better with more rest?" Tuantuan asked uncertainly.
Xu Jinzhi didn’t know if Tuantuan really understood, but she didn’t want Tuantuan to worry too much, so she nodded, "Yes, Great Grandpa just needs to rest well, and he’ll be better soon."
Tuantuan leaned against Xu Jinzhi, not sure if she believed Xu Jinzhi’s words or not.
Fortunately, Sui Sui, who was completely oblivious to the situation, was there, kicking her legs and reaching out her hands, babbling away, which lightened the atmosphere in the living room somewhat.
He Shuying had three sons, and both Xu Jinzhi and Liang Shiyu had a son each; Sui Sui was considered the first daughter of their two generations.
She was, for the time being, the family’s darling.
Taking advantage of Sui Sui’s topic, everyone started chatting sporadically again until it was time for dinner.
Xie Suian and Xie Yanchuan went to Mr. Xie’s room together to call him for dinner; Old Master Xie had been resting for two hours.
Although he was still not feeling well, he mustered the energy to sit up and, with the support of Xie Yanchuan and Xie Suian, made his way to the dining room.
Seeing the whole family gathered, a smile involuntarily spread across Old Master Xie’s face.
