In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband

Xie Yanchuan didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Xu Jinzhi's words, he simply nodded in agreement when she spoke.

Xie Yanchuan got out of the car, ready to leave, he hesitated for a few seconds before saying to Xu Jinzhi, "You should get some rest early too."

"Mm," Xu Jinzhi nodded.

Xie Yanchuan added, "Have a smooth trip."

"I will, I'll message you. Don't ignore me." While saying this, Xu Jinzhi blinked at Xie Yanchuan, the gesture dripping with ambiguity.

There really wasn't much left to say, and Xie Yanchuan finally turned and walked towards the residential area.

Xu Jinzhi didn't drive away until Xie Yanchuan was out of sight.

The next day.

Xu Jinzhi had gone on her business trip. Despite saying she would message Xie Yanchuan and told him not to ignore her, she only managed to send a message while on the way from the airport to the hotel, and after that, she had no more time to send messages.

Although these events had happened in her previous life, the details had become blurred due to the passage of time.

Moreover, because of her rebirth, Xu Jinzhi found that some minor things had changed, and she didn't know what would happen in the future, so she couldn't rest easy and had to continue worrying about what needed attention.

However busy she was, things were progressing smoothly. It's just that in her busyness, she forgot about Xie Yanchuan.

Today, Xie Yanchuan only had two classes, spending the rest of his time in the lab.

Xue Hang only learned yesterday from his seniors about his advisor's romantic involvement, and that he was even close to getting married, so today, while conducting experiments, he couldn't help but glance repeatedly at his advisor.

After several times, Xie Yanchuan stopped what he was doing and looked at Xue Hang, "Why are you always looking at me? Is there a problem?"

Caught off-guard, Xue Hang widened his eyes slightly, hesitant to speak, but his curiosity eventually took over, and he asked in a low voice, "Professor, are you really in a relationship, and you're getting married soon?"

Xie Yanchuan found Xue Hang's statements logically unsound but admitted after a moment of silence, "Yes."

When Xu Jinzhi returned this weekend, their families would dine together, and they would then announce their engagement publicly. If all went well, he would marry Xu Jinzhi by the end of the year.

"Is our professor's soon-to-be wife Xu Jinzhi? The Xu Jinzhi who is listed as a distinguished alumna of A University?" Xue Hang asked eagerly.

The others in the lab were also all ears to the conversation, also curious about this question.

Xie Yanchuan hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded, "Yes."

Xu Jinzhi had graduated from A University and was one of its distinguished alumni. He remembered seeing her photo among the distinguished alumni when he returned to teach here three years ago.

At that time, he must have admired Xu Jinzhi, but other than that, there were no further emotions, as they had no intersections, like people from two different worlds.

Xue Hang's eyes widened with surprise, not just him, but others in the lab were also taken aback.

After all, Xu Jinzhi's identity as the only heiress to the Xu Family and the Xu Group had been public knowledge, and people at A University knew she was the Xu family's young lady.

"But, professor, are you really the second young master of the Xie Family?" Xue Hang blurted out everyone's inner question.

There had been recent rumors that the young lady of the Xu family was soon to be engaged to the second young master of the Xie Family!

Public opinions on this rumor were mixed, but many people didn't know what kind of person the second young master of the Xie Family was and felt he was not worthy of the Xu family's young lady.

Xie Yanchuan was taken aback. It's not that no one in the university knew of his identity; after all, when he was in university, his brother had not yet graduated, and he never deliberately hid it.

But now, it seemed people around him did not know his identity.

Xie Yanchuan nodded.

Xue Hang was even more shocked, "Wow!"

"Focus on the experiment," Xie Yanchuan dropped the comment and lowered his head to continue his own experiment.

At that moment, when the students in the lab looked at Xie Yanchuan again, their expressions held an element of incredulity, and upon realizing some matters, understanding dawned.

Just like they had spent two years researching new drugs without success, but still had funding to continue the experiment, it all made sense now.

Apparently, their professor had been very stealthy!

At lunchtime, Xie Yanchuan checked his phone. Xu Jinzhi had messaged him two hours earlier after getting off the plane.

He had replied to her message then, but after that, there was no further communication, and he felt somewhat unaccustomed to not seeing any message from Xu Jinzhi now.

However, Xie Yanchuan didn't message Xu Jinzhi back and went straight back to the lab to continue working after eating.

Until that evening, when Xie Yanchuan lay in bed, he still had not received any messages from Xu Jinzhi. Since she had added him on WeChat, she had spoken to him every day to say goodnight.

Why hadn't she messaged him yet?

Was she still busy at work?

Xie Yanchuan didn't continue pondering, he placed the phone aside, turned off the light, and the bedroom was engulfed in darkness. He closed his eyes, ready to rest.

But for some reason, Xie Yanchuan found himself unable to sleep, and he lay there with closed eyes wide awake for a long while without a hint of sleepiness.

Until suddenly, his phone began to vibrate, which was placed on the bedside table. In the quiet of the night, the vibration was quite pronounced. Xie Yanchuan opened his eyes and saw the phone light up.

An intuition told him it was a message from Xu Jinzhi.

Xie Yanchuan checked his phone, and sure enough, it was a message from Xu Jinzhi, a simple "Goodnight." When he saw the message, Xie Yanchuan couldn't quite pinpoint his feelings.

He just felt a lot more relieved, as if something he had been worrying about no longer needed to be a concern.

Xie Yanchuan also replied with a "Goodnight." However, after replying, he didn't hurriedly put his phone down but continued to stare at the screen, though Xu Jinzhi didn't send another message.

After a while, he put the phone back.

For some reason, he, who was previously unable to sleep, now closed his eyes and soon drifted deeply asleep.

Over the next few days, Xu Jinzhi occasionally sent messages to Xie Yanchuan. Of course, after sending a message, she would suddenly disappear, with only the nightly "Goodnight" being constant.

After two or three times, Xie Yanchuan got used to it.
