In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 137: He Tried His Best

In early May, Xu Jinzhi got her period.

Xu Jinzhi rarely felt unwell during her period, and, naturally, if she wasn’t feeling unwell, there was no reason for her to be in a bad mood.

But this time, although Xu Jinzhi wasn’t feeling unwell, she was still in a particularly bad mood.

The household servants all knew that the mistress was moody these past few days, assuming she was physically unwell; after all, although they knew Xu Jinzhi was trying to conceive, they didn’t know about her urgency to get pregnant.

Xie Yanchuan did know why Xu Jinzhi was actually in a bad mood, though.

However, even though he comforted Xu Jinzhi several times, she still kept sighing from time to time.

On May 4th, the May Day holiday ended, and Xu Jinzhi had to go back to work as usual, and although Xie Yanchuan didn’t have any classes that morning, he still got up early.

Xu Jinzhi went to the bathroom, took the toothbrush Xie Yanchuan had prepared with toothpaste on it, sighed, and started brushing her teeth.

Seeing how unrested Xu Jinzhi looked, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but say, "Jinzhi, don’t be so anxious. We’ll have a child eventually."

When he said this, Xie Yanchuan paused, feeling as if they had been trying to conceive for many years without success, though they actually hadn’t been trying for very long.

Xu Jinzhi ignored Xie Yanchuan, mechanically brushing her teeth and not lifting her eyes, lost in thought.

Xie Yanchuan then said, "All that talk about favorable characters and fortune enhancing is just feudal superstition—it’s not credible."

Xu Jinzhi still didn’t speak. After brushing her teeth, she left the bathroom and went straight to the dressing room to change clothes. Xie Yanchuan didn’t follow her.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Xie Yanchuan did indeed wish for Tuantuan to join them—he also wished for Xu Jinzhi to have her wish fulfilled, but these things were hard to articulate.

In any case, he had tried his best.

He was sorry he couldn’t fulfill Xu Jinzhi’s wish.

Xu Jinzhi came out after changing, put on some simple makeup, and then left the bedroom without Xie Yanchuan.

Xie Yanchuan, feeling very helpless, had no choice but to follow her.

During breakfast, Xu Jinzhi was still upset, but Xie Yanchuan didn’t say anything; after all, the servants were downstairs, and some things couldn’t be openly discussed.

May weather wasn’t too hot; it was just going to rain these days, making it humid and uncomfortable even in the morning.

Xu Jinzhi went to the company and started her usual work. Despite her bad mood, she wasn’t neglectful or lazy.

After all, what weighed most on her heart was anxiety.

She was worried about the butterfly effect, as many things in this life were different from her previous one.

She was very worried that Tuantuan might not come to her in this life. As the time moved closer, she inevitably felt anxious.

At the end of the morning’s work, Xu Jinzhi and Assistant Wen went to lunch together, and after eating, they prepared to go upstairs.

Assistant Chen rushed back from outside, carrying several cups of coffee, clearly intending to treat everyone to coffee.

Assistant Chen told the others to distribute it, while he himself brought a cup of hot coffee to Xu Jinzhi, "Mr. Xu, this is yours."

Since the weather was quite humid, Assistant Chen prepared iced coffee for everyone else, only Xu Jinzhi’s cup was hot.

"Thanks," Xu Jinzhi took it, but after a moment couldn’t help but ask, "Could someone switch with me?"

Assistant Chen wanted to say something, but as a man, it really wasn’t appropriate for him to discuss a woman’s private matters. He looked at Assistant Wen briefly, hoping she’d speak up.

Assistant Wen, as usual, didn’t say anything, probably because he also often drank cold beverages during special periods, so he didn’t stop Xu Jinzhi.

"Mr. Xu, let me swap with you," someone said beside him.

"Thank you." Xu Jinzhi immediately handed his own to the other person, but then felt it was inappropriate and added, "Otherwise, go buy another cup, I’ll reimburse you."

"No need, no need, I wanted to drink something hot anyway," the assistant repeatedly said.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t say much more, drinking his coffee as he walked up the stairs with everyone.

Xu Jinzhi felt that drinking something cold really made him feel much better, and his heart was finally not feeling suffocated.

However, Xu Jinzhi didn’t enjoy the comfort for long and soon faced the consequences.

He had a short nap at noon, and when he woke up, Xu Jinzhi felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen.

It wasn’t very painful, but the dull ache was extremely uncomfortable.

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

However, the day’s misfortune officially started from this moment!

During the afternoon executive meeting, Xu Jinzhi was infuriated by his subordinate. Xu Jinzhi always measured his actions, knowing what to say and what not to say in the workplace.

This was the first time he was so angry that he directly scolded the other person, "If you can do it, then do it; if you can’t, get out!"

After the meeting, Xu Jinzhi returned to his office and had just sat down when his phone rang. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

He was startled when he saw the caller ID, as his mother-in-law had never called him before. Her calling now must mean something was wrong.

Xu Jinzhi answered the phone, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible, "Mom, why are you calling all of a sudden? Is there something wrong?"

On the phone, He Shuying spoke in a flustered and hurried manner, "Your sister-in-law has been pushed down. The maid said she’s bleeding and is now on her way to the hospital. Are you busy? Do you want to come over and check?"

He Shuying’s anxious tone didn’t seem fake. She indeed didn’t like Liang Shiyu, but since Liang Shiyu was already married into the family, there wasn’t much she could do about it.

Moreover, there’s a saying, isn’t there?

Women shouldn’t make life difficult for other women!

He Shuying didn’t hold grudges against Liang Shiyu. Now that Liang Shiyu had an accident, as her mother-in-law, she certainly needed to find out what the situation was.

"Mom, which hospital is she at? I’ll head over now," Xu Jinzhi said as he stood up and quickly walked out of his office.

He Shuying mentioned the hospital over the phone and then hung up quickly.

As for the relationship between Xu Jinzhi and Liang Shiyu, it wasn’t good, but outwardly they were family, and Xu Jinzhi couldn’t just ignore the situation.

Moreover, the grievances between her and Liang Shiyu weren’t so severe as to be a matter of life and death.

On her way to the hospital, Xu Jinzhi also called Xie Yanchuan. She didn’t know if Xie Yanchuan had received the news yet.

Either way, it was best if he hadn’t left yet; since she would pass by University A en route to the hospital, Xu Jinzhi thought she could pick up Xie Yanchuan on the way.

It was still the trauma from the last car accident that haunted Xu Jinzhi; she always worried something might happen to Xie Yanchuan.

Fortunately, when she called, Xie Yanchuan had not yet left. After a few words, they agreed to meet at the school gate in a bit.

Once the call ended, Xu Jinzhi looked out the window again. At this moment, the sky was gloomy, as if a heavy rainstorm was about to break out soon.
