In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 126 When Will Our Baby Come?
Chapter 126: Chapter 126 When Will Our Baby Come?
They arrived a bit late, and by then, everyone who should be back had already returned, only the atmosphere in the living room was somewhat tense.
It wasn’t that they had just been arguing or bickering; rather, it seemed they simply had nothing in common to talk about.
Previously, Xie Suian would chat with Xie Linchuan about work, which helped prevent the atmosphere from becoming too silent, but because of Liang Yu’s issue, Xie Suian was clearly displeased with Xie Linchuan and did not talk to him about work today.
Thus, with completely nothing left to say, they just sat quietly in their own seats, inevitably making the mood a bit awkward.
The arrival of Xu Jinzhi and her company made the atmosphere in the living room slightly better.
Right after greeting the elders, Xie Xingchuan called out, "Sister-in-law."
At this moment, there were two women in the living room who could be Xie Xingchuan’s sister-in-law, but he was looking at Xu Jinzhi, so obviously he was calling for her.
If there was anyone in the Xie Family that Xu Jinzhi had a somewhat favorable impression of, besides Xie Yanchuan, it would be Xie Xingchuan.
So, when Xie Xingchuan called her, Xu Jinzhi patiently responded, "What’s the matter?"
Xie Xingchuan asked with some excitement, "Did you invest in an e-sports game club?"
Xu Jinzhi paused, then nodded, "There is an e-sports club."
"Is it the Victory Electronics Club?" Xie Xingchuan asked eagerly.
Xu Jinzhi hesitated for a moment, "I think that’s what it’s called."
"Can you help me get an autograph? Just Afeng’s autograph!" Xie Xingchuan was over the moon, standing up and walking over to Xu Jinzhi.
He Shuying rebuked in a tone that was neither light nor heavy, "Can you be a bit more composed?"
Xie Xingchuan, as if he hadn’t heard, sat down beside Xu Jinzhi but thankfully, even with all his attention on her, he still maintained a respectful distance.
For such a small request, Xu Jinzhi naturally agreed without hesitation.
After satisfying Xie Xingchuan’s request, the conversation between Xie Suian and Xu Jinzhi on the side began, asking her why she had thought to invest in the e-sports club.
Xu Jinzhi explained that the club actually wasn’t much related to her; she only invested due to knowing the club’s founder who was in need of money at the time and she helped out of friendship.
The atmosphere in the living room was much more pleasant as Xie Suian and Xu Jinzhi chatted away, completely different from before Xu Jinzhi had arrived.
Because of this, Liang Shiyu’s expression darkened, feeling that they were looking down on her, which was why they always avoided talking to her.
However, Liang Shiyu remained silently enraged, bottling up her anger.
But deep down, Liang Shiyu believed it shouldn’t be like this; after all, she had married Xie Linchuan, the heir of Xie Group. In this family, why was she always the one being disrespected?
Because Xu Jinzhi came from a good family?
But no matter how good Xu Jinzhi’s family was, it had nothing to do with the Xie Family. When had Xu Jinzhi ever used the Xu Family to help the Xie Family?
It was even due to the Xu Family’s favorable condition that they had always looked down on the Xie Family!
Liang Shiyu couldn’t understand it; every time she saw Xu Jinzhi, she was filled with doubts, yet she could never figure it out.
Before long, the servants had prepared lunch, and everyone proceeded to dine.
After the meal had ended, Old Master Xie went back to his bedroom to rest, as he was advanced in years and couldn’t sit for long periods anymore.
The rest of the family also went off to rest on their own.
Xu Jinzhi had indeed woken up early this morning, but she didn’t feel sleepy until she returned to her bedroom, where she unknowingly dozed off.
As she woke up, before Xu Jinzhi could feel bewildered, she saw Xie Yanchuan standing by the window with a book in his hand.
If it had been anyone else, Xu Jinzhi would definitely have thought the person was merely putting on airs, but when Xie Yanchuan did it, she believed he was truly reading.
But at this moment, Xie Yanchuan was indeed not reading. His attention was entirely on the scene outside the window, and Xu Jinzhi thought that he must have been reading before and had just now been distracted by something outside.
This blatant double standard made Xu Jinzhi chuckle involuntarily.
Xie Yanchuan noticed the movement and turned his head to see the awakened Xu Jinzhi, who was staring at him. He said in a gentle voice, "You’re awake."
"Mmm." Xu Jinzhi replied as she sat up from the bed, "What are you looking at?"
Xie Yanchuan, of course, knew that Xu Jinzhi wasn’t asking which book he was reading but was curious about the activity outside the window. He replied, "My older brother and Liang Shiyu are making a snowman."
Xu Jinzhi had already gotten out of bed and didn’t wait for Xie Yanchuan to come over; she walked over and peeked outside. Sure enough, she saw Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu in the courtyard making a snowman.
She didn’t know how long they had been busy in the yard, but there were already three snowmen standing, and Xu Jinzhi didn’t need to think twice to know that they represented their family of three.
Xu Jinzhi casually asked, "Do you want to go down and make a snowman, too?"
At this point, Xu Jinzhi suddenly remembered something from her past life; Xie Yanchuan always wrapped Tuantuan up snugly in winter and took him to play in the courtyard making snowmen.
She had always thought that Xie Yanchuan was just playing with Tuantuan, but now she wondered if it wasn’t that Xie Yanchuan himself liked making snowmen.
Xie Yanchuan probably hadn’t had the chance to enjoy such times with his parents when he was a child, so he must feel quite envious now watching them.
It was also clear to Xu Jinzhi that in her previous life, from the moment Tuantuan was born, Xie Yanchuan took charge of everything concerning Tuantuan, mainly because he wanted to give Tuantuan a life full of parental love as much as he could. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Thinking of how pitiable Xie Yanchuan was, Xu Jinzhi, despite disliking the cold, still offered, "How about I accompany you to make a snowman?"
That way, he wouldn’t have to envy others.
Xie Yanchuan did not know what Xu Jinzhi was thinking, but he found her offer to accompany him in making a snowman somewhat amusing.
"No need." He wasn’t a child who needed her to cajole him like that, and with Xu Jinzhi disliking the cold, why would he make her go out and freeze unnecessarily?
Yet Xu Jinzhi stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Xie Yanchuan, looked up, and asked again, "Are you sure you don’t need to?"
"You don’t need to envy others. Whatever you want to do, I can accompany you."
Xie Yanchuan, upon hearing her say that, felt a peculiar warmth in his ears. He glanced down at Xu Jinzhi and said with pursed lips, "I was just looking at the little snowman."
"Hm?" Xu Jinzhi was somewhat puzzled.
Why was he looking at that little snowman?
Was it remarkably ugly?
Xie Yanchuan explained, "I was wondering when our baby would come?"
