In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 12 - Meeting the Parents

On a Sunday morning, Xu Jinzhi was so tired that she hadn't even gotten up for breakfast until it was very late. Then she quickly got up, washed up, packed her luggage, and immediately set off for the airport.

"Mr. Xu, I packed some food, do you want to eat something?" Assistant Chen asked Xu Jinzhi, turning his head.

At the moment, Xu Jinzhi still had her eyes closed. She shook her head, didn't respond to Assistant Chen, and Assistant Chen didn't say much more.

It wasn't until the airport that Xu Jinzhi, pushing her luggage along the way, finally felt a bit more awake. Still, she looked quite haggard due to the lack of rest.

Before boarding the plane, Xu Jinzhi received a call from Xu Zhen, inquiring if she had missed the flight or anything similar, deeply afraid she wouldn't catch the plane.

After all, both families had dinner tonight; she absolutely couldn't be late.

Xu Zhen wanted to show off in front of the Xie Family, not intending to deliberately be late. That sort of distasteful thing he couldn't do.

"Don't worry, I'll arrive after three in the afternoon, and then I need to stop by home first," Xu Jinzhi had everything planned out. If it weren't for the dinner with both families, after being so busy for so many days, she certainly wouldn't have rushed for a morning flight back home.

"Alright, I'll wait for you at home," Xu Zhen said.

"Okay, let it be for now," Xu Jinzhi hadn't slept well and now had a bit of a headache, so she said a few words and hung up.

But after hanging up, Xu Jinzhi looked at her phone and suddenly smiled, no longer looking like she had when talking to her own father just before.

Xu Jinzhi exited the call screen and sent a message to Xie Yanchuan on WeChat.

She hadn't seen Xie Yanchuan for several days and was indeed missing him a bit.

Assistant Chen, watching his boss's changing expressions, had already shifted from the inexplicable attitudes of the past few days to turning a blind eye now, as he had come to know about his boss falling in love.

Three in the afternoon.

Xu Jinzhi came out of the airport on time, where a car was already waiting outside. Once Xu Jinzhi got into the vehicle, they drove away.

Since it was the weekend, there was some traffic on the road, but they had agreed to meet at seven in the evening, so Xu Jinzhi wasn't very anxious.

When she reached home, Xu Jinzhi instantly saw Xu Zhen dressed in a suit, sitting uprightly on the living room sofa, even his hair carefully styled.

Xu Jinzhi couldn't help teasing, "To the unaware, they'd think you were about to go on stage for a wedding."

"Nonsense!" Xu Zhen glared at Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi couldn't help but laugh a little, "It's just dinner, why are you so nervous?"

"It's your lifelong matter, how can I not be nervous?" Xu Zhen looked somewhat awkward.

In his lifetime, he only had Xu Jinzhi as a child, not because he couldn't have more, or didn't have the money to raise them, then what else could it be?

Wasn't it because he loved Xu Jinzhi!

His only daughter, he really worried excessively out of concern that she would be wronged.

"Alright, alright, you look terrible now, go upstairs and get yourself together," Xu Zhen said, somewhat irritably.

Xu Jinzhi hadn't put on makeup today and had traveled for most of the day. Ugly she certainly wasn't, but she did indeed look a bit worn out, so she didn't argue with Xu Zhen and turned towards the stairs.

Xu Zhen watched Xu Jinzhi ascend the stairs, unable to suppress a sigh.

It always felt like there was plenty of time, but step by step, it had come to the point of getting engaged, and she might even leave home by the end of the year.

Thinking about it made Xu Zhen feel sad. What to do? She didn't even want to eat dinner tonight!

After returning to her bedroom, Xu Jinzhi even took a bath before starting to get dressed and do her makeup. By the time she was ready to go downstairs, an hour had passed.

"How do I look? Not ugly, right?" Xu Jinzhi purposefully spun in front of Xu Zhen, remembering the time Xu Zhen had called her ugly.

Xu Zhen was speechless and wore a stern expression, not wanting to speak.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry up and go," Xu Jinzhi said with a smile, bending down to pull Xu Zhen up and linking arms with her as they walked towards the exit of the villa.

On the way to the hotel, Xu Jinzhi and Xu Zhen sat together in the back seat.

Xu Zhen was not in a good mood at the moment, and in an effort to distract herself, she brought up work-related matters with Xu Jinzhi.

Knowing that Xu Jinzhi's business trip had gone smoothly and all matters had been settled, Xu Zhen was very pleased with Xu Jinzhi and did not skimp on her praise, saying, "You've done very well."

"Hmph!" Xu Jinzhi snorted proudly. Of course, she thought, who else could it be but her?

Then Xu Jinzhi took out her phone to send a message to Xie Yanchuan, while Xu Zhen frowned again next to her, looking very serious and continuing to sulk on her own.

"We'll be arriving soon," Xu Jinzhi said.

A few seconds later, Xu Jinzhi received a reply from Xie Yanchuan, "We're almost there too."

At this time, Xie Yanchuan was also in the car, seated next to an elder. Although his hair was white with age, he still radiated vitality.

Old Master Xie glanced sideways at his grandson and waited until he put away his phone before he said in a grave voice, "If you want to back out now, there's still time, and the worst I'll have to do is sacrifice my old face."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yanchuan turned his head to look at his grandfather who was looking back at him, "Grandfather, I have never thought about backing out."

"It's also Xie Suian's fault. This was originally your brother's responsibility; it should never have fallen to you. Yet, he didn't even discuss it with me and went straight ahead to talk with you."

"I don't care what your father told you, I'm making things clear to you now. It's still not too late to back out, but if you don't regret this decision, then from today on, you'll need to be aware of your own responsibilities," Old Master Xie said, looking seriously at his grandson.

"I understand," Xie Yanchuan replied softly, his expression showing unwavering resolve.

Although Xie Yanchuan wasn't sure why, a voice inside him told him that marrying Xu Jinzhi was the right choice, and he would not regret it.

Seeing how seriously Xie Yanchuan responded, Old Master Xie knew that the matter was settled and looked at his grandson for a while before saying, "That Xu girl is a fine young lady."

Old Master Xie had met Xu Jinzhi. To be honest, he was quite fond of the girl and even believed that she would surely achieve more than Lin Chuan in the future.

This unexpected turn of events leading her to become his second grandson's wife actually pleased Old Master Xie quite a bit.

The car stopped at the hotel entrance, where the bellhop hurried over to open the door. Xie Yanchuan exited first, then walked around to the other side to help Old Master Xie out of the car.

Soon after, the cars bearing Xie Suian and Xie Linchuan also arrived, and one by one, everyone stepped out. For today's occasion, all six members of the Xie family had assembled.
