In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 136: Xie Yanchuan is like a child-producing machine

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Xie Yanchuan is like a child-producing machine

"I suppose they might be worried that I’m coveting the Xie Group," Xu Jinzhi said.

Xie Yanchuan was surprised to hear such a statement and looked curiously at Xu Jinzhi, "You..."

But Xie Yanchuan struggled to find the words and didn’t say anything; he didn’t know what to say at that moment.

Unable to resist, Xu Jinzhi laughed slightly. "It’s not really like that; perhaps it was just because my grandfather saw those media reports when he was sick."

So now they had already started to release their holdings, but Xu Jinzhi knew their intentions. They had given Xie Yanchuan real estate, and they might give more later, but it would definitely not include shares.

Therefore, after discussing, they decided to keep the pressure of the Xie Group on Xie Linchuan.

To tell the truth, perhaps knowing that the Xie Group would decline, Jinzhi truly had no interests in it.

If it weren’t for her and Tuantuan cleaning up the mess for the Xie Group initially, it might have collapsed.

At that time, Xie Suian had begged her for help.

Thus, Jinzhi truly looked down on the Xie Group; she had not considered competing with Lin Chuan. She was capable, and so was Tuantuan; there would be better options than the Xie Group.

"So that’s how it is," Xie Yanchuan also understood the meaning behind Xu Jinzhi’s earlier words. As for the initial worry about her coveting the Xie Group, Xie Yanchuan just took it as if Xu Jinzhi was joking.

As for what was true and what was not, Xu Jinzhi didn’t know, nobody knew.

However, even though Old Master Xie had only given a villa, there were some who were discontent.

Liang Shiyu and Xie Linchuan were on their way home. Throughout the journey, Xie Linchuan remained silent. After hesitating for a long time, Liang Shiyu couldn’t help but ask, "Linchuan, what does grandfather mean by this?"

"What?" Xie Linchuan had been preoccupied and didn’t react immediately; after a few seconds, he finally said, "It’s just a promotion gift for Yanchuan."

"A villa for a promotion? Grandfather and Dad both gave one," Liang Shiyu felt it was somewhat exaggerated. She didn’t know the specifics of the two villas, but just looking at the location, they were already very valuable.

"What’s the problem with that? Yanchuan being promoted to Full Professor is no small matter, we should also prepare a gift," said Xie Linchuan.

But he had only found out at the last minute, so he couldn’t possibly have said beforehand that his grandfather and father were giving such valuable real estate, so he only managed a few polite words at that time.

Liang Shiyu felt frustrated, feeling that her own family really had no status at all.

She turned to look out the window, absentmindedly stroking her belly, then suddenly remembered something, looked down at her stomach.

She still had a little over a month before she would give birth, not knowing whether the baby inside her was a boy or a girl.

Initially, she and Xie Linchuan hadn’t planned on finding out the baby’s gender early. Later, her mother had subtly mentioned that she should take the opportunity to check the gender.

Liang Shiyu had firmly refused then. What era was it?

Did they still want to prioritize sons over daughters?

So she didn’t check secretly, but now, Liang Shiyu couldn’t help but pray in her heart, hoping it was a boy.

If she gave birth to a boy, he would be the Xie family’s eldest grandson, and her status within the Xie family might improve then?

...

Time passed day by day, and the weather was no longer cold, even becoming somewhat stuffy.

Xu Jinzhi had been particularly focused on maintaining her health recently, and Xie Yanchuan knew why—because the matter of starting their family had been scheduled.

But Xie Yanchuan had some indescribable thoughts about Xu Jinzhi needing to conceive by mid-May.

It was already the end of April, with at most twenty days left until the middle of May that Jinzhi had requested.

"Jinzhi, it’s not really that urgent," Xie Yanchuan said hesitantly.

He didn’t know why Jinzhi was in such a hurry, as he hadn’t pressured her in this regard, and the elders at home hadn’t mentioned it either, so there was no need for her to rush.

Xu Jinzhi blinked her eyes, then said earnestly to Xie Yanchuan, "I consulted with a master, and he said getting pregnant in mid-May means the child born next mid-March will have a good destiny and temperament, plus it will be particularly good for me!"

Hearing Xu Jinzhi’s explanation, Xie Yanchuan’s expression grew even more complicated.

"All that is feudal superstition, not trustworthy," Xie Yanchuan said again.

"I don’t care! I just like a baby born next mid-March!" Xu Jinzhi, seeing that her explanation was fruitless, gave up explaining and stubbornly insisted.

Xie Yanchuan fell silent, unsure of how to further persuade her.

The two looked at each other for a moment before Jinzhi asked, "Aren’t you going to take a bath?"

"Or do you want to wait until it’s over?"

Xie Yanchuan was still staring blankly at Xu Jinzhi, who had already gotten out of bed and walked toward him, embracing him directly.

She stood on tiptoes to kiss Xie Yanchuan, mumbling vaguely, "Let’s wait until it’s over to go."

At that moment, the only thought in Xie Yanchuan’s mind was that he felt like he’d become a mere tool.

Yet, even as a tool, he was incredibly weak, unable to refuse Xu Jinzhi, and he quickly turned the tables.

By the time it was over, they lay in each other’s arms, both still breathless, and it took a while for Xie Yanchuan to calm down.

He helped Xu Jinzhi sit up, intending to carry her to the bathroom, but she raised her hand to stop him.

"Go by yourself. I’m not going," said Xu Jinzhi, still breathless and speaking weakly.

"I’ll help you," Xie Yanchuan said, thinking Xu Jinzhi was tired and spoke further.

Xu Jinzhi gave Xie Yanchuan a sideways glance and said in a buzzing voice, "How can I get pregnant if I take a shower right after finishing?"

Xie Yanchuan was stunned, "Tuantuan?"

Xu Jinzhi hesitated for a moment, having accidentally let the name slip, but she quickly regained composure and nodded calmly, "Mm, Tuantuan, the nickname I’ve chosen for our baby."

Xie Yanchuan didn’t know what to say and, seeing Xu Jinzhi still lying down, he said, "Then I’ll go take a shower first."

"Mm." Xu Jinzhi responded noncommittally.

As Xie Yanchuan headed for the bathroom, Xu Jinzhi continued to lie there. Honestly, she was a bit anxious, worried about not being able to conceive.

What if she didn’t get pregnant by mid-May? What if Tuantuan didn’t come?

But Xu Jinzhi also worried, what if she conceived in the next few days and it wasn’t Tuantuan?

Yet she couldn’t just do nothing; then Tuantuan really wouldn’t come!

So Xu Jinzhi could only comfort herself, her Tuantuan would surely come to this family!
