Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Coming Soon Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Coming Soon Xu Jinzhi was already preparing for pregnancy, so when she saw Xie Linchuan and the others building snown, Xie Yanchuan caught sight at once of that dazed, cute little snowman standing between two big ones.
He thought that their child would probably be beautiful too, starting off so tiny at birth, then slowly growing from a little infant into a child.
He wasn’t particularly interested in building snown himself, and Jinzhi, who was sensitive to the cold, was even less interested in such things.
He wondered if their future baby would like it and thought that if the baby wanted to build a snowman, he would accompany them—Jinzhi could skip the cold, and the baby would understand Mom’s feelings.
He would be there with the baby.
In just a short span of ti, Xie Yanchuan had let his mind wander far, but looking at Xu Jinzhi, he felt a bit embarrassed to voice these thoughts out loud.
Xu Jinzhi had never expected that Xie Yanchuan’s thoughts weren’t on his own childhood but on their child.
Her heart softened completely, and Xu Jinzhi stood on her tiptoes, planting a light kiss on Xie Yanchuan’s lips before hugging him and whispering in his ear, “Soon.”
Indeed, the ti was fast approaching.
“Our baby will be here soon. When that ti cos, you can go build snown together. I’m afraid of the cold, so I won’t join in the snow play. Would it be alright if I just take photos of you from the side?” Xu Jinzhi said softly to Xie Yanchuan.
When Xie Yanchuan heard Xu Jinzhi’s words, his heart throbbed with excitent, filled with an indescribable feeling that left his entire body tingling.
“Sure,” Xie Yanchuan responded, a bit dazed, agreeing without hesitation.
He longed for the future that Xu Jinzhi was planning.
The couple spent a little while longer being affectionate in their upstairs bedroom before finally going downstairs.
Soon after, everyone had re-gathered in the downstairs living room.
When Liang Shiyu and Xie Linchuan ca inside, He Shuying frowned slightly, but seeing the young couple’s joy, she held back the words that had reached her lips.
Although He Shuying ant well, her words wouldn’t have been pleasant, and today being New Year’s Eve, it was better not to dampen everyone’s spirits.
Liang Shiyu seed not to notice He Shuying’s expression and instead looked over at Xu Jinzhi.
But Xu Jinzhi didn’t even spare Liang Shiyu an extra glance. Was she not familiar with Liang Shiyu’s little tricks?
Showing off their love in front of her was just laughable.
Xu Jinzhi couldn’t be bothered to comnt on whatever future sses Liang Shiyu and Xie Linchuan would bring upon themselves.
“So boring. Let’s play sothing,” said Xie Xingchuan, who was sitting on the couch all of a sudden.
He was soone who couldn’t sit still for long, and the idea of sitting around doing nothing was incredibly difficult for Xie Xingchuan to endure.
So after so discussion, they all sat down to play mahjong.
But at this table, aside from Xie Xingchuan, the other three players were won. Both Xu Jinzhi and Liang Shiyu were flanked by their “military advisors,” while Xie Suian was playing chess on another side with Old Master Xie.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and they whiled away the afternoon.
Dinner ti ca around, and since it was New Year’s Eve, Old Master Xie, being the patriarch of the Xie Family, made a few speeches, giving surplus advice to the married younger generation.
All the younger family mbers obediently agreed, even Xie Xingchuan, who dared not upset Old Master Xie.
Once all that needed to be said had been said, they finally started their al.
These days, celebrating New Year’s wasn’t like it used to be—in the city, setting off fireworks and firecrackers was not allowed.
So after the al ended, they had no entertainnt activities left, only to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the living room. But this Spring Festival Gala has beco more and more boring each year.
When Old Master Xie couldn’t stay up any longer and wanted to rest, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone also had to get up early. Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan got downstairs on ti.
This year at the Xie Family, although there were two new daughters-in-law, there was no difference from last year. The younger generation lined up to greet the elders and receive red packets.
Only Xie Xingchuan received the most red packets, naturally, since he was the youngest in the family.
By the second day of the New Year, relatives began to visit the house.
As the daughters-in-law of the Xie Family, Xu Jinzhi and Liang Shiyu naturally couldn’t just hide away, especially since this was their first year as daughters-in-law of the Xie Family, they had to specifically acknowledge the relatives.
However, this was not the first ti Xu Jinzhi faced such a situation, so she was quite indifferent about it.
Liang Shiyu, even more so, had already adopted the attitude of the Xie Family’s senior daughter-in-law and prepared to get to know the family’s relatives properly.
Once everyone had greeted and sat down, they started to chat casually, and naturally, the conversation turned to Liang Shiyu’s pregnancy.
The relatives asked one question after another, and Liang Shiyu answered with a smiling face; her deanor and words were impeccable.
After inquiring about Liang Shiyu, they began to show their concern for Xu Jinzhi, and Aunt He, who was not so easy to get along with, was the first to ask, “Jinzhi, what about you? Any news?”
Xu Jinzhi smiled lightly, “Not yet.”
Upon hearing this, Aunt He imdiately responded with a preachy tone, “You need to hurry up, dear. After getting married, a woman should still take care of the family, work matters are secondary.”
Those words were just shy of directly telling Xu Jinzhi she should stay at ho and do nothing else.
Liang Shiyu also looked up at Xu Jinzhi, seemingly curious to hear what Xu Jinzhi would say.
Seeing the smug expression on Liang Shiyu’s face, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but feel a sense of irony deep inside.
Did Liang Shiyu really think that becoming pregnant was sothing so remarkable?
Let alone the fact that she could conceive, even if she couldn’t, so what?
In this day and age, does any normal person regard the ability to conceive and bear children as sothing incredible?
Xu Jinzhi still smiled, albeit nonchalantly, and said, “There’s nothing I can do, business matters at the company can’t just be dropped on the spot.”
“And if I were to abandon my responsibilities, the Xie Group would suffer a big loss.”
“If my father-in-law agrees, I would like to end the collaboration with the Xie Group so that I can free up so ti to be with Yanchuan.”
“After all, my husband and I haven’t even had ti to go on a honeymoon yet.”
While Xu Jinzhi spoke, she also glanced at Xie Yanchuan on the other side. There was a complex emotion in her eyes, seemingly feeling guilty for not being able to spend quality ti with him.
After Xu Jinzhi finished speaking, there was a mont of eerie silence in the living room, especially on the faces of Aunt He and Liang Shiyu.
After all, Xu Jinzhi’s words had made it crystal clear that the Xie Family couldn’t do without her.
Xu Jinzhi wasn’t exaggerating; the Xie Group really couldn’t do without her at present, because behind her stood the entire Xu Group.
