Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

He Cangyuan had been eager to curry favor with the Chi family, and now that he finally had a chance, he quickly put on a smile and became polite, "These two must be President Chi's parents, right? I am Zuo Zuo's father, He Cangyuan."

Before retiring, Mr. Chi was a retired general in the army. He was an upright man and disliked hypocritical men the most. However, with Mrs. Yan and Yan Zuozuo present, they didn't embarrass him too much. Just as he was about to get up to shake hands, he heard Yan Zuozuo say, "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else. My father died a long time ago."

Chi's father glanced at He Cangyuan and sat up straight again. He Cangyuan's hand froze awkwardly in mid-air: "Zuozuo, I know you have a misunderstanding about your father, but you can't act like a child on a special day like today."

"What day is it today? How did you know? I already told you, my father died. Or do you want me to tell everyone what you've done, this fake and shoddy thing?" Yan Zuozuo said with an unfriendly expression.

Yan's mother stiffened and glanced at Yan Zuozuo. "You two have met before?"

Yan Zuozuo stared intently at He Cangyuan with her bright, sparkling eyes: "Are you going to leave now, or wait until I expose your shameful secrets before you leave?"

She shouldn't have lost her temper in this situation, but she just couldn't help it.

Chi's parents were astute enough to understand what was going on. Since it was their son who had chosen her, they trusted her to handle everything and sat there silently.

He Cangyuan felt embarrassed. Thinking about what he had done, he realized he had indeed wronged Yan Zuozuo and her daughter. Finally, he gave an awkward smile and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you. I'll go out now." Before leaving, he glanced at Yan's mother one last time and turned to leave.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Chi Moqing squeezed Yan Zuozuo's hand and found it to be ice-cold, which made him feel a little sorry for her.

Chi's parents chuckled and quickly took out gifts, some for Yan's mother and some for Yan Zuozuo.

The atmosphere returned to harmony, and Yan's mother took out the gifts. "We are just an ordinary family and can't afford any fancy gifts. These are fruit teas that I made myself. Please don't mind them."

"Not at all, it's not easy to find this kind of clean and healthy fruit tea these days, it's quite a rare treat." Mrs. Chi accepted it with a smile.

Before long, the waiter brought out the dishes. The wine was a treasured collection brought by Chi's father. Although there were mostly women, they were all able to drink a little.

"What are your thoughts on the wedding, Mother-in-law?" Mrs. Chi asked, taking a sip of her drink.

Yan's mother was taken aback and looked at Yan Zuozuo. She had heard her say before that she wasn't going to do it anymore, so why was she bringing it up again now?

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "That's right. Zuo Zuo and I have discussed it, and we don't plan to have a wedding for the time being."

Mr. Chi frowned: "How can this be? A perfectly innocent girl married you, and you just disappear without a trace? What kind of behavior is that?"

"Dad, it's not that we're not going to do it, it's just that we'll postpone it. I don't want to put pressure on Zuo Zuo. After all, our wedding was arranged in a very rushed manner, and we need some time to adjust."

Chi's father glared at him unhappily, but looked at Yan Zuozuo with a gentle expression. "Zuozuo, is it that this kid doesn't want to do it? Tell your dad, and I'll teach him a lesson for you." Chi's father had been a commander his whole life, and his words were exceptionally authoritative.

Yan Zuozuo quickly shook her head: "No, no, this is something we agreed upon."

At first, Yan's mother was unhappy that they weren't having a wedding, but she could tell that Yan Zuozuo still had a grudge. In truth, this girl had wronged Chi Moqing, so it wasn't appropriate to force her.

So he laughed and said, "Let's listen to the children. Weddings are just a formality. What's important is for the two of them to live a good life together."

Chi Moqing held Yan Zuozuo's hand the whole time, and their intimacy was evident to their parents.

Seeing that Mrs. Yan was understanding and had said so, Chi's parents naturally let them have their way. Apart from the incident with He Cangyuan, the meeting was generally harmonious.

After dinner, Chi Moqing drove Yan's mother and Yan Zuozuo back to their apartment in Xingcheng. Knowing that the mother and daughter had something to talk about, he made an excuse to buy something and then went out. He also took the opportunity to call his parents to explain what happened with He Cangyuan earlier that day.

In the bedroom, Yan Zuozuo knew she couldn't hide it from her mother, so she had no choice but to tell the whole story: a week ago, He Cangyuan found her and wanted to acknowledge her as his mother. At first, she thought He Cangyuan had finally had a change of heart, but little did she expect that he was actually warning her about He Xinrui and Qi Jiahui's affair. This completely shattered Yan Zuozuo's illusions about He Cangyuan.

She hadn't told her mother before because she was afraid of upsetting her; now that He Cangyuan had come to her door, she was worried that her mother would be deceived, so she might as well tell him everything at once and let He Cangyuan give up on this idea.

"Mom, are you alright?" Yan Zuozuo asked worriedly, but her mother did not respond.

Yan Zuozuo asked again, but her mother still didn't respond. She frowned; even if her mother said it didn't matter, seeing her again after so many years still left a lingering awkwardness.
