In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 152: Time to Upgrade to Being Dad and Mom

Yanchuan calculated and realized that if the weekend still had a few days to go, it meant Xu Jinzhi’s period was already delayed by a week.

"If it hasn’t come by the weekend, we can go," Yanchuan said.

"Then this weekend!" Xu Jinzhi declared confidently, as if she was certain she wouldn’t get her period in the next few days.

Yanchuan wanted to tell her not to get her hopes up too high, but seeing Xu Jinzhi’s joyful expression in the rearview mirror at that moment, Yanchuan really couldn’t bring himself to say anything discouraging.

He thought about it and decided to let it go. Even if it turned out to be a misunderstanding later, wasn’t she happy these days?

When they got home in the evening, Xu Jinzhi was still very excited, so much so that she couldn’t sleep.

In the end, Yanchuan had to say, "If you are pregnant, you need to ensure you get enough sleep; otherwise, it could affect the baby."

Truth be told, staying up a little late wouldn’t affect a thing. Yanchuan knew it, and so did Xu Jinzhi.

But eventually, Xu Jinzhi obediently closed her eyes.

She initially thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep even with her eyes closed, but soon after she did close her eyes, Xu Jinzhi fell asleep.

Yanchuan, on the other hand, did not fall asleep. After discovering Xu Jinzhi had fallen asleep, he couldn’t help but smile.

The next day.

When they left for work in the morning, Xu Jinzhi had switched her high heels for flat shoes, and Yanchuan left the house with her.

Upon arriving at the company, Yanchuan watched Xu Jinzhi get out of the car. He originally wanted to give her some advice, but thinking that Xu Jinzhi was already being careful enough, he decided not to say too much.

Better not to overdo it.

When Xu Jinzhi arrived at the company, she used to occasionally join everyone in the elevator if she had time, but she would use the private elevator when in a rush.

However, she shouldn’t squeeze into the elevator with others now. Holding her work ID, she directly swiped into the private elevator on the other side.

What she didn’t expect was to see her father when the elevator opened. They both were startled for a moment, but Xu Jinzhi quickly recovered and greeted him with a smile, "Morning."

While speaking, Xu Jinzhi had already entered the elevator.

Xu Zhen nodded slightly, acknowledging her greeting, but Xu Jinzhi, so early in the morning, why was she smiling so...

So creepily?

Xu Zhen couldn’t help but scrutinize Xu Jinzhi from head to toe, his curiosity piqued by her odd behavior yesterday and even stranger demeanor today.

And she did seem different today, particularly because of the flat shoes she was wearing.

Due to the flats, Xu Jinzhi was a bit shorter than usual.

She usually kept a serious demeanor at work, but being slightly shorter, she didn’t seem as imposing—possibly only in his view.

"Why suddenly wear flat shoes?" Xu Zhen suddenly asked.

Xu Jinzhi looked at Xu Zhen, blinked her eyes, and said earnestly, "Comfortable."

Clearly, she was lying.

Xu Zhen felt like cursing, but being a father himself, connecting some clues quickly made him realize something.

He asked with some surprise, "What’s going on? Is my grandchild coming?"

"Huh?" Xu Jinzhi played dumb. Just then the elevator ’dinged’ and opened, and Xu Jinzhi quickly changed the subject, "I’ve arrived, I have to go."

"Wait!" Xu Zhen called out urgently.

Xu Zhen’s voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of colleagues who were also coming out of the other elevator, causing them to turn and look.

But Xu Zhen couldn’t care less about whether they were looking or not, seeing that Xu Jinzhi had no intention of answering him, he hurriedly pursued her.

"Xu Jinzhi, you need to explain this to me!" Xu Zhen caught up with her.

The employees at Xu Group looked at the scene unfolding before them, their curiosity piqued about what was going on.

On the other hand, just as Xu Jinzhi had entered the office, Xu Zhen followed right behind. He was now certain that Xu Jinzhi was pregnant with his grandchild!

"When did this happen?" Xu Zhen closed the door and asked Xu Jinzhi urgently.

Xu Jinzhi had no choice but to tell the truth, "It’s just a suspicion, nothing confirmed yet."

"Then why don’t you go to the hospital to get it checked?" Xu Zhen spoke with conviction.

"Right now it’s too early to check. I need to wait a few more days," Xu Jinzhi explained.

Xu Zhen wanted to say more, but after all, as a man discussing such matters with his daughter didn’t seem quite appropriate, so he changed the subject.

"I mentioned it before, about your second child taking the surname Xu, you haven’t forgotten, have you?" Xu Zhen asked while observing Xu Jinzhi’s expression.

It was as if he was worried that Xu Jinzhi would go back on her word.

"I haven’t!" Xu Jinzhi knew he would bring this up, expressing somewhat speechlessly, "I haven’t even had the first one, and you’re already thinking about the second."

Xu Zhen scoffed, "I’m just clarifying in advance to prevent the Xie Family from causing any more confusion."

"The child is mine, of course I have the final say."

"That’s for the best."

With that, the two seemed to have nothing more to say. After pondering for a moment, Xu Zhen gave a couple more instructions, "Then you should take extra care during this time. If you don’t feel well, stop working. The company will be fine with me here."

"Then why didn’t you let me take time off before?" Xu Jinzhi quickly seized the opportunity to ask.

Xu Zhen couldn’t be bothered to answer. When was she talking about taking time off?

That was back before she had married Xie Yanchuan!

For what reason did she want leave?

For dating, obviously!

He would be a dream to agree to that.

Without saying anything, Xu Zhen turned and left Xu Jinzhi’s office.

Xu Jinzhi watched her father’s retreating figure, and couldn’t help but smile.

*

Lately, the employees around Xu Jinzhi all knew she was in a great mood, and hardly bothered her with minor issues.

The experienced female employees, seeing Xu Jinzhi’s flat shoes, unconsciously guessed the reason.

They were privately spreading rumors that Xu Jinzhi might be pregnant. Fortunately, they were discreet enough and mindful of the custom that one shouldn’t tell others within the first three months, so they all pretended to be unaware.

After all, as long as Mr. Xu was easy-going, they were happy, and Xu Jinzhi, as a leader, was a very good one at that. Everyone was happy for her happy marriage.

Finally, the weekend came around, and Xu Jinzhi was able to persuade Xie Yanchuan to go to the hospital for a check-up.

She and Xie Yanchuan both actually felt it was a pregnancy because her period hadn’t come yet.

But these things still needed confirmation from the hospital.

Everything went very smoothly.

Two hours later, both Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan were in the doctor’s office, with Xu Jinzhi sitting and Xie Yanchuan standing by her side.

Looking at the blood test results, the doctor smiled at them, "Congratulations to both of you, you’re going to be parents soon."
