In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 135: What Nonsense Is She Talking About?

Xie Yanchuan was first startled, seemingly not quite understanding what Xu Jinzhi meant. After a moment, he shook his head with a serious expression, "No."

He really didn’t lack anything; indeed, there was no gift he wanted.

But if it was a gift from Xu Jinzhi, then whatever it was, he would like it.

After all, what mattered wasn’t the gift itself, but the person who was giving it to him.

Xu Jinzhi leaned closer to Xie Yanchuan, her hand propped against his chest, not worried that her weight would be too much for him.

"Do you really not want anything?" Xu Jinzhi’s voice was soft, with a hint of seduction.

Even before Xie Yanchuan could react, her lips gently brushed his face. She didn’t say anything, but the implication was clear.

After a delayed realization, Xie Yanchuan felt a bit embarrassed but eventually mustered up the courage to say, "I want you."

The next moment, Xie Yanchuan made his move, and Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but laugh.

In the end, Xie Yanchuan received the "gift" he wanted, but it wore Xu Jinzhi out.

However, she held onto Xie Yanchuan and didn’t want to let go. Xie Yanchuan had no choice but to wait until Xu Jinzhi fell into a heavy sleep before he tiptoed away to tidy up.

...

The next day.

Xu Jinzhi was in a great mood today. Xu Zhen had already noticed it before the meeting, but it wasn’t a good time to ask. After the meeting, Xu Zhen asked casually, "Why are you so happy?"

Xu Jinzhi, looking at her father, smiled even more and said, "Xie Yanchuan was promoted to Full Professor."

Xu Zhen was taken aback and asked somewhat blankly, "Hasn’t he always been a professor?"

Xu Jinzhi’s smile stiffened, and she suddenly didn’t feel like talking.

So, she gave Xu Zhen a speechless look and said with some annoyance, "Forget it, what’s the point of discussing with a capitalist who only knows how to make money like you."

After dropping that comment, Xu Jinzhi left in high spirits. If they didn’t understand, so be it; she knew how remarkable Xie Yanchuan was.

In the conference room, Xu Zhen’s eyes widened because of Xu Jinzhi’s words. He turned to ask his secretary, "What kind of ghost talk did she just say?"

The secretary just gave an awkward smile, unsure how to respond.

Xu Zhen huffed back to his office, utterly unimpressed with Xu Jinzhi’s disdainful comment, so he secretly searched on his computer to figure out what exactly the title of Full Professor meant.

In the end, Xu Zhen also had to admit that Xie Yanchuan was quite impressive, but he felt he was impressive too!

However, no matter what he thought, deep down Xu Zhen felt a bit bitter. He had always been Xu Jinzhi’s role model, but now it seemed he was no longer the person she admired most.

Xu Zhen was helpless but had to acknowledge this fact.

Xu Jinzhi finished work early today and went to the school gates to pick up Xie Yanchuan. She had already booked a nice restaurant and planned to celebrate properly for him.

By the time the Xie Family found out about this, it was already Sunday.

Since Old Master Xie had just recovered a few days ago and relatives hadn’t disturbed him in the hospital, now that he was better, the close relatives all wanted to visit.

So, the Xie Family decided to do it all on Sunday, wanting to get it over with in one go.

During the meal, as everyone chatted, they mentioned Xie Yanchuan’s promotion. However, the Xie Family was all startled, clearly unaware of the news.

The relative felt a little embarrassed, wondering if they had misspoken.

It wasn’t until Old Master Xie asked Xie Yanchuan with some surprise, "When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell the family?"

Xie Yanchuan was stunned for a moment, then calmly said, "It’s not a big deal, so I forgot to mention it."

In fact, Xie Yanchuan felt that even if he had told them, the Xie Family wouldn’t have taken it to heart, just like they weren’t too happy when he scored first in school.

The Xie Family’s expectations for him were simple: don’t cause trouble, don’t be a nuisance.

As for anything else related to the Xie Family, it had nothing to do with him. Whatever he wanted to do, the Xie Family wouldn’t pay much attention. freeweɓnøvel.com

That was probably the real reason he didn’t care about titles or reputations in the past because they didn’t make much of a difference.

This time, he aimed for the promotion because he saw the dazzling Xu Jinzhi. He wanted to be less mediocre, and he didn’t want others to think he was unworthy of her.

He would strive to be someone worthy of Xu Jinzhi.

Since it all had nothing to do with the Xie Family, Xie Yanchuan never thought about telling them.

Mr. Xie knew why he hadn’t told the family. He smiled with some helplessness but still said, "How is this not a big deal? We should celebrate."

"I’ve already celebrated with Jinzhi," said Xie Yanchuan, a bit embarrassed. It seemed to him that there was no need for a special celebration for such a small matter, but only Xie Yanchuan knew the true reason for his embarrassment.

"Let’s focus on the meal for now," Xie Yanchuan added.

The topic was then overlooked until after the meal when the relatives gradually left, and Mr. Xie brought it up again.

"We shouldn’t make a big deal out of your promotion, but the family should still show some recognition."

Xie Yanchuan was about to decline, but before he could speak, Mr. Xie continued, "I have a villa at hand. I’ll have the lawyer transfer it to your name."

Xie Yanchuan immediately wanted to refuse, but Xie Suian chimed in as if knowing what Xie Yanchuan was going to say, "I have a villa too. I’ll give it to you as well."

After these words, a momentary silence fell in the living room. Xie Yanchuan didn’t understand what they meant and why they suddenly wanted to give him villas.

But Xu Jinzhi just curved her lips in a slightly mocking smile. They must have discussed it privately. As for the villas, they were just an excuse to give them away.

However, she didn’t say anything. It was Xie Yanchuan’s matter, and he could decide for himself.

But Mr. Xie and Xie Suian seemed set in their decision, giving Xie Yanchuan no chance to object, and decided on the matter just like that.

Until they left, Xie Yanchuan was still a bit confused. He had never intended to tell the family, but now that they knew, not only were they aware, but they also gave him two villas.

"Jinzhi, what do they mean?" Xie Yanchuan had a feeling that it wasn’t so simple but couldn’t figure it out, so he straightforwardly asked Xu Jinzhi.
