Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Yan Zuozuo looked at him strangely, but still placed it in his hand. Chi Moqing carefully folded it, leaned over and tied it for her, awkwardly making a bow.

Yan Zuozuo looked strange. Suddenly remembering the expressions of the Chi family members that morning, she realized something. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she stammered, "So everyone was laughing at me this morning... at this?" She pointed to her neck, on the verge of tears.

Chi Moqing just smiled and remained silent, while Yan Zuozuo blushed so deeply she wanted to disappear into the ground. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? You bad person!"

"It's alright, we're all family, they'd love for us to have a good relationship," Chi Moqing said with a smile.

"..." Since she had already been ridiculed, Yan Zuozuo glared at Chi Moqing and tried to take off her scarf to check the situation in the rearview mirror.

Chi Moqing grabbed her hand: "Let's go in quickly, it'll be nine o'clock in three minutes."

Yan Zuozuo exclaimed, "Why didn't you say so sooner? I hate you!" She grabbed her bag and ran inside.

Chi Moqing watched her go upstairs with amusement, realizing he was becoming increasingly mischievous, always wanting to tease her and see her on the verge of tears. If he could, he would want to keep her by his side 24/7, watching her every day.

Just as Chi Moqing started the car to leave, he saw Cai Keren swaying over, flirtatiously tossing her wavy hair, and draping her alluring arm over his shoulder. "President Chi, it's been a long time."

Chi Moqing brushed Cai Keren's arm aside as if swatting a fly, and looked at her coldly, "Do we know each other?"

Cai Keren's face stiffened for a moment, then she smiled charmingly, "President Chi, you really have a bad memory. I met with you a few times on behalf of Fanhua Construction and Chi's Group, since we had a collaboration before." As she spoke, she winked at Chi Moqing, "President Chi, you're really disappointing. How about we have lunch together?"

"I remember now, it's Miss Cai." Chi Moqing looked at her calmly, a cold smile slowly curving his lips.

"I knew President Chi wouldn't forget me, that noon..."

"I didn't expect that Ms. Cai would be completely unaffected by the plagiarism scandal. I suppose your company's CEO has already sorted things out." Chi Moqing looked at Cai Keren's sudden change in expression with a relaxed expression.

He turned around, got into the car, leaving Cai Keren looking resentful. What's there to be arrogant about? Just wait and see!

Seeing the design director approaching from afar, Cai Keren immediately put on a charming smile and said, "Good morning, Director."

The design director glanced at her—a low-cut, mini-skirted dress, bright red high heels, and heavy makeup—and frowned slightly. Normally, she should have been fired after the plagiarism scandal broke. But this woman was resourceful; she managed to get the CEO to personally intervene and keep her. The implications were obvious.

"I was just looking for you. Come with me." The design director looked at her with a gloomy expression.

Cai Keren was taken aback, a sense of unease flashing through her heart. "Director, what's wrong?"

"The results of the leaked design drawings by Zuo Zuo are out," the design director said coldly.

Cai Keren paused in her tracks: "Is...is that so? Then what was the result?"

"You'll find out soon enough. Let's go, the CEO is already waiting for us in his office."

It turns out that Cai Keren stole Yan Zuozuo's design drawings and gave them to her useless father, who then used them to mass-produce in a small workshop, all in an attempt to ruin Yan Zuozuo's reputation, because she had disliked Yan Zuozuo for a long time.

Although she had turned off the surveillance cameras earlier, the design director's words made her heart race again.

In the afternoon, Yan Zuozuo was still revising her design drawings when Qi Jiahui knocked on her desk, asking her to come to his office. Yan Zuozuo didn't want to be alone with him, but in the company, he was a director, and she had no choice but to obey.

Yan Zuozuo knocked on the door and entered, saying, "Vice Chairman Qi, what do you want to see me about?"

Seeing Yan Zuozuo's indifferent expression, Qi Jiahui's face darkened. However, he still pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."

"No need, Vice Chairman Qi, please speak quickly if you have something to say. I have to go back to work." Yan Zuozuo didn't understand Qi Jiahui's intention. She thought that after what happened last time, he wouldn't bother her anymore.

Qi Jiahui unconsciously clenched his pen: "I called you here to apologize for what I said at the last meeting. I shouldn't have wronged you without investigating the matter thoroughly."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback: "So you took it out? Who was it?"

"The company will be making an announcement at a meeting tomorrow, and I called you here because..."

"That's good. Now that my innocence has been proven, I'm relieved. If Vice Chairman Qi has nothing else, I'll head out." Yan Zuozuo interrupted him and turned to leave.

"Left left..."

Yan Zuozuo ignored her and closed his office door from the outside. Qi Jiahui stared at her disappearing figure, his fingertips gripping the pen turning pale.

Yan Zuozuo, I will absolutely not give up!

Yan Zuozuo had just stepped out of Qi Jiahui's office when she bumped into the design director. The design director glanced at her, she smiled, and walked away.

Back in her seat, Yan Zuozuo stared blankly at the design drawings for a long time, her mind empty, not knowing what she was doing.

After a long while, she let out a long breath, closed her eyes, and past scenes flashed uncontrollably through her mind. Those joys, those tears, welled up clearly. What did a few years of relationship matter? In the end, it couldn't compare to the woman who could save him twenty years of struggle.

A crystal-clear tear rolled down her cheek, and she quickly raised her hand to wipe it away. These memories should have been discarded long ago, just like those useless design drawings.

When Chi Moqing returned home, he saw Yan Zuozuo sitting in the living room, looking dejected, with a trash can piled high with crumpled pieces of paper beside her. He walked over, unfolded them, and saw that they were uniform design drawings required by their company.

“It’s great, why can’t we use it?” he said, sitting down next to her.

Hearing the sound, Yan Zuozuo snapped out of her daze, frantically trying to hide her emotions, and quickly said, "I...I'll get ready right away...Oh no, I forgot to cook, wait for me..."

She quickly packed her things, rushing to the kitchen. But Chi Moqing called out to her, "Zuo Zuo..."

"what?"

Chi Moqing hugged her and sighed helplessly, "We are husband and wife, and you are the lady of this house. Don't be so nervous. Whatever you do is what you should do."

Yan Zuozuo lowered her head, bit her lip, and remained silent.

"Take your time, I'm going to take a shower first." Chi Moqing kissed her lips and walked towards the bathroom.

Disturbed, Yan Zuozuo thought of Qi Jiahui again in the kitchen. He had abandoned her without a second thought, wanting to avoid twenty years of hard work. Since he left so decisively, why should he come back to her now? Did she really think he was worth her lifelong devotion and love? He overestimated himself.

Some things in this world, once missed, can never be regained.

She cooked porridge and started stir-frying vegetables. She couldn't make anything too complicated, but she could manage simple dishes like stir-fried dace with black bean sauce and lettuce.

After showering, Chi Moqing changed into his loungewear. The simpler the attire, the more handsome the man appeared. He hugged her from behind and said in a deep voice, "You've worked hard."

Yan Zuozuo's face immediately turned red, and the two of them pressed tightly together, she felt very embarrassed.

Chi Moqing released her and went to help out. Neither of them spoke. He turned his head to look at her as she busied herself, a feeling of indescribable tenderness welling up inside him. He had once thought he could never have her in this lifetime, so he chose to be with another woman who looked like her, with a heart full of blessings. But he never expected that woman to betray him.

He wasn't sad or upset; in fact, he felt a sense of relief after she left. Only later did he realize that no matter how similar she was, no one could ever replace her.

So, after Yan Zuozuo broke up with Qi Jiahui, he would secretly watch her from a short distance whenever he had time. He knew this was despicable, but he just couldn't help himself. Little did he know that this very love would lead him to marry her.

After tidying up the table, Chi Moqing couldn't resist pulling her into his arms again. Looking at her flushed face, a smile crept onto his lips. This little woman was simply too adorable; he couldn't help but tease her. He wondered how she had had the courage to propose to him in the first place; he felt incredibly lucky.

"We'll be eating soon, can you... can you get me a bowl..." she stammered, her breathing unsteady.

"Okay." Chi Moqing reached out to give her a bowl and helped put the food on a plate. This tacit understanding made him feel comfortable.

During the meal, Chi Moqing noticed that Yan Zuozuo seemed drowsy. After the meal, he told her to go and rest while he washed the dishes. She had been exhausted these past two days, all because she couldn't control herself.

Seeing Yan Zuozuo asleep, Chi Moqing quietly lay down beside her and held her through the night.

The company held an emergency meeting to announce the leak of Yan Zuozuo's design drawings. Yan Zuozuo was holding a pen and drawing something, while Mu Yaoqian, sitting opposite her, looked smug.

"The investigation into the leak of Yan Zuozuo's design drawings has been completed." The design director had his secretary distribute the documents to everyone, giving Cai Keren a meaningful look. "This matter has nothing to do with Yan Zuozuo. Someone stole her design drawings and deliberately framed her. As for the person who stole the design drawings..."

Cai Keren stiffened, nervously looking at the design director, her heart pounding.

"The cleaning lady was bribed by a rival company to steal the design drawings, and we have already fired her. As for the remaining issues, we have left them entirely to the company's lawyers."

Yan Zuozuo frowned, somewhat surprised by the result. She had considered that it might be Mu Yaoqian, or even Qi Jiahui, but she never expected it to be a cleaning lady.

The staff below murmured amongst themselves, saying that if this was true, there could be a mole within the company at any moment. Everyone should keep their design drafts safe, as someone might be the next unlucky one. Fortunately, the investigation was successful; otherwise, wouldn't the designer have had to bear the blame?

The CEO asked everyone to be quiet: "This matter is now over. I hope everyone will not let this affect the unity of the company. We are a big family, and we should cooperate sincerely to create a brilliant future together."

“I have another question. My design drawings are locked in the cabinet, and the original drawings are still there. If it were a cleaning lady, she should have stolen the original drawings, not just looked at the design drawings and memorized them. I think there’s something wrong with the result,” Yan Zuozuo said objectively.

The CEO's face darkened. He glanced at Cai Keren almost imperceptibly and said calmly, "The cleaning lady has already admitted it. The evidence is now conclusive. I will have my lawyer investigate the issue you raised. As for the leak of your design drawings, Ms. Yan, shouldn't you also reflect on your own actions?"

Yan Zuozuo felt there was something strange about this, but since the CEO had said so, she could only remain silent for the time being. She turned her head and met Cai Keren's ambiguous smile, a sinister glint flashing across her face.

Her body stiffened, but when Yan Zuozuo looked at her again, she had regained her composure, which Yan Zuozuo found very strange.
