Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Why Doesnât Xie Yanchuan Tell Her? Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Why Doesnât Xie Yanchuan Tell Her? Upon realizing that Xu Jinzhi was angry, Xie Yanchuan didnât hesitate much and directly asked her, âJinzhi, are you angry?â
âNo.â Xu Jinzhi answered nonchalantly, not even sparing Xie Yanchuan an extra glance, clearly saying one thing but meaning another.
Xie Yanchuan paused for a moment, then continued, âIs it because I didnât tell you right away that Tuantuan is a boy, or because you prefer girls?â
Xu Jinzhi suddenly stopped, turned around, and glared at Xie Yanchuan, âDonât spout nonsense. Whether Tuantuan is a boy or a girl, I would like them both!â
âThe one who angered me is you, it has nothing to do with Tuantuan!â
It was clearly Xie Yanchuan who had angered her, and she wasnât about to let Tuantuan take the blame for him!
Xie Yanchuan understood that Xu Jinzhi was unhappy because he hadnât told her about the baby right away.
So Xie Yanchuan directly explained to Xu Jinzhi, âI didnât mean to hide it from you; I just hadnât found the right moment yet.â
âI also didnât know whether you wanted to know, so I didnât rush to tell you.â
Xu Jinzhi was still angry, hearing Xie Yanchuan chattering incessantly by her ear, she felt even more annoyed.
She still couldnât understand why in her previous life, Xie Yanchuan knew early on but never told her until Tuantuan was born, when she finally learned Tuantuanâs gender.
Why didnât Xie Yanchuan tell her?
Why wouldnât he tell her?
Then Xu Jinzhi remembered that at this time in her previous life, her relationship with Xie Yanchuan wasnât like it was now.
Back then, although she was fairly satisfied with Xie Yanchuan, in her heart, Xie Yanchuan was more of a tool.
Was it because she treated Xie Yanchuan as a tool back then that Xie Yanchuan also didnât have many feelings for her, so he was reluctant to tell her?
In Xu Jinzhiâs memory, Xie Yanchuan was the person who unconditionally liked her and treated her well, and she had gotten used to that Xie Yanchuan.
Now, suddenly discovering that Xie Yanchuan also had things he hid from her, and that there had been times when he simply didnât care about her, Xu Jinzhi felt very uncomfortable.
Although she knew that initially, their relationship was a business marriage, forced by circumstances, and both she and Xie Yanchuan were compromising.
She didnât care about Xie Yanchuan, and Xie Yanchuan didnât care about her, so it was understandable that Xie Yanchuan didnât tell her.
But Xu Jinzhi just felt uncomfortable.
She just wanted Xie Yanchuan to wholeheartedly like her even when she wasnât perfect, that kind of feeling where Xie Yanchuan still liked her.
Yet, on the other hand, she felt that all that was in a past life, so why think so much about it now?
At that moment, another little voice popped up telling Xu Jinzhi that even though everything in her previous life had already passed, she still wanted to hold on to those issues!
She was just so unreasonable, she was just so selfish!
The more she thought about it, Xu Jinzhi went from initially being angry to gradually feeling somewhat aggrieved.
Holding her breath, she simply wouldnât pay attention to Xie Yanchuan, using it to express her dissatisfaction.
âJinzhi.â Seeing that Xu Jinzhi was consistently ignoring him, Xie Yanchuan couldnât help but reach out and gently tug at Xu Jinzhiâs arm.
Xu Jinzhi subconsciously jerked her arm, flinging off Xie Yanchuanâs hand, but her own hand ended up striking the clothes Xie Yanchuan was holding.
âAh!â Xu Jinzhi couldnât help but yelp in pain.
Had it only hit the clothes, Xu Jinzhi wouldnât have felt pain at all, but Xie Yanchuan hadnât removed the hangers from those little dresses, so Xu Jinzhiâs hand directly hit the hanger.
âWhat happened?â Xie Yanchuanâs expression changed instantly, he hastily set the clothes aside without caring if they were properly placed, and hurried to check Xu Jinzhiâs hand.
Xie Yanchuan took Xu Jinzhiâs hand and saw that the back of her pale hand was already red, but that was all for nowâno other issues were visible.
Xie Yanchuan instinctively looked at Xu Jinzhi, and when he raised his eyes to meet hers, he saw that her eyes were already red and filled with tears, seemingly about to cry at any moment.
âIâm sorry, I didnât knowâ¦â Xie Yanchuan panicked, unsure how to explain to Xu Jinzhi.
She was never a fussy person, and her eyes had already turned red, so she must be in significant pain to react this way.
Xu Jinzhi withdrew her hand, her voice tinged with a cry as she said, âLeave me alone.â
Following that, Xu Jinzhi turned and walked away, not giving Xie Yanchuan a chance to say another word.
At this point, she had no desire to continue shopping. She headed straight for the exit, and Xie Yanchuan, not caring about the clothes, quickly followed her.
On their way back, Xu Jinzhi still ignored Xie Yanchuan, and Xie Yanchuan didnât dare say much more, worried that Xu Jinzhi would get even angrier.
Still, Xie Yanchuan was a bit puzzled, not understanding why Xu Jinzhi was so angry.
Because he hadnât told her immediately?
Xie Yanchuan didnât think that was the reason.
Throughout the journey, Xu Jinzhi sulked, while Xie Yanchuan kept reflecting on what he might have done wrong.
Even after they got home, Xu Jinzhi hadnât calmed down, and Xie Yanchuan still hadnât figured it out.
It wasnât even three in the afternoon yet; Xu Jinzhi went to her bedroom, changed into comfortable home clothes, washed up briefly, then lay down in bed, falling asleep shortly after.
Observing Xu Jinzhi asleep, Xie Yanchuan checked the back of her hand again. There was already a small bruise.
Xie Yanchuan frowned deeply, his eyes full of displeasure. Although the bruise wasnât serious and would disappear in a couple of days, so there was no need for medication.
Yet, seeing it still pained him.
After staring at Xu Jinzhi for quite a while, Xie Yanchuan sighed helplessly, then tiptoed out of the bedroom.
Once he left the bedroom, Xie Yanchuan first went downstairs and summoned a servant. He instructed her to go to the store they had visited earlier and buy the several dresses they hadnât had the chance to purchase.
The servant hurried off to carry out the errand while Xie Yanchuan then moved up to his study.
As Xu Jinzhi slept furiously, she had a remarkable dream.
She saw herself and Xie Yanchuan from a third-person perspective.
That day, they had just finished a prenatal checkup and then she asked Xie Yanchuan to take her to her company. She had squeezed in the appointment during a break and had to return to handle work at the company.
Once they reached the company, she casually said something to Xie Yanchuan, then unfastened her seat belt, preparing to get out of the car.
