In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 252: The Last Moments

"Thank you, Daddy." Tuantuan said obediently and cleverly.

Xu Jinzhi picked up one, "This one’s for Sui Sui, we need to keep it safe until she can use a cup by herself."

Yanchuan nodded and didn’t delay, promptly storing the cup in the display cabinet.

That area contained some valuables and was always cleaned with great care by the servants, making it a very safe spot under normal circumstances.

After a little while, the servants came to inform them that dinner was ready, and they went to the dining room to eat.

In the night...

Yanchuan had once again passionately indulged Xu Jinzhi, who had noticed something off about Yanchuan since yesterday, but she had been distracted and forgotten about it.

Today, Xu Jinzhi felt Yanchuan’s odd behavior once more. Although Yanchuan was always reserved in bed, she sensed something was different.

Xu Jinzhi carefully pondered over it, trying to pinpoint what exactly was different about Yanchuan, then she realized he was even clingier than before.

It was as if he felt very insecure.

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but ask, "Yanchuan, what’s the matter?"

"Sorry, it’s probably because things aren’t going well at work, so I’m a bit frustrated," Yanchuan explained.

"Work isn’t going smoothly?" Xu Jinzhi shifted slightly and looked up at Yanchuan’s profile, "Can you talk about it?"

"It’s been a long time, and I still haven’t figured out what to do next. The dean suggested I should go back to the lab to help out, and as for my own project, I can think about it slowly," Yanchuan said softly.

Xu Jinzhi recalled that day she went with him to University A, and Dean Zhao had spoken to Yanchuan, saying exactly that.

"What do you think?" Xu Jinzhi asked.

"I don’t know, but I’m still holding the position at the lab, and if I don’t go, it wouldn’t be right," Yanchuan said with a helpless look, seemingly very reluctant.

Xu Jinzhi knew that Yanchuan, at school, was not only earning the salary of an associate professor at University A but also receiving a subsidy from the lab, holding an official position there.

Yanchuan hadn’t gone to the lab for several months due to the lack of a suitable direction, essentially occupying the position without contributing.

Xu Jinzhi, being a businesswoman, thought from her business perspective, and obviously felt this situation couldn’t continue.

So Xu Jinzhi said, "How about we drop the school and apply for our own lab? What do you think?"

"That way you can work on experiments whenever you want, and not do them when you don’t want to, without any worries."

After all, she had money, and so did Yanchuan; supporting a lab really wasn’t a problem.

Yanchuan, seeing Xu Jinzhi’s earnest demeanor, knew she completely believed in his words and was truly considering his best interest. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Yanchuan felt a bit pained inside, his smile tinged with bitterness, "Let’s just see for now."

"I really think it’s possible, as long as you’re willing, I will definitely support you unconditionally," Xu Jinzhi said again.

She did not miss the reluctant smile on Yanchuan’s face, but she thought he was just worried about work issues.

"Okay, I’ll think it over properly," Yanchuan said, then looked up at Xu Jinzhi who was gazing back at him, and couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her.

Xu Jinzhi didn’t resist Yanchuan’s kiss, but as they kissed something felt off. By the time Xu Jinzhi pushed Yanchuan away, it was already too late.

After a long while, the bedroom finally fell completely silent.

Yanchuan held the already sleeping Jinzhi and softly whispered, "I’m sorry."

Naturally, Jinzhi heard nothing.

Yanchuan still couldn’t sleep, he even dared not to.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Winter Solstice.

It had snowed all last night, and now the snow on the ground was somewhat thick.

When Jinzhi left the house in the morning, she couldn’t help but frown, "It’s definitely going to be a traffic jam."

"It’s okay, even if we’re late, it’s not a big deal," Yanchuan said.

Jinzhi nodded, "Safety first."

By the time they arrived at Tuantuan’s kindergarten, they indeed were late, but today the situation was different, there were quite a few who were late.

Yanchuan walked Tuantuan over, handed him to Teacher Xiao Huang, then turned and quickly walked back to the car.

On the way, Jinzhi told Yanchuan, "Today is Winter Solstice, tonight I’m having Dad come over to have dinner with us."

"Okay."

When Jinzhi was about to get off the car at the company, Yanchuan couldn’t help but call out, "Jinzhi!"

Yanchuan’s voice was urgent, Jinzhi turned back to look at him, confused and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Suddenly, Yanchuan’s heart was beating very fast, very fast, looking at Jinzhi he felt a very uneasy feeling.

He never knew when that day would come, but just at this moment, Yanchuan had a premonition that it was today.

"The weather is bad today, if you leave the company and go somewhere, be careful, don’t forget your scarf and face mask to avoid catching a cold," Yanchuan said.

"I know," Jinzhi moved closer to Yanchuan, quickly kissed him on the face, "I’m leaving first."

After saying that, Jinzhi gave Yanchuan a mischievous smile, then turned, opened the car door, and quickly got out.

The wind outside was very strong, as soon as Jinzhi got out of the car, the wind blew her all over, she waved at Yanchuan through the car window, then quickly ran off.

When Yanchuan lowered the car window, he only saw Jinzhi’s retreating figure, the same as in his dreams, just like the figure she had when she left in those dreams.

In an instant, Yanchuan almost couldn’t help but his eyes reddened, he even had a sudden urge to get out of the car and hold Jinzhi tightly in his arms.

Even if there was only a little bit of time left, he wanted to be with Jinzhi.

He still had so many things he wanted to say to Jinzhi, so many, many things.

But Yanchuan knew he couldn’t do that, he couldn’t do that!

Another car came from behind, honking to signal Yanchuan to leave, Yanchuan came back to his senses and drove off.

On the way, Yanchuan’s emotions were somewhat dazed, he didn’t know if it really was today, nor did he know what he should do in the last moments.

Actually, he had been prepared for a long time, many things were already arranged, in the last moments, he was supposed to be with the most important person.
