Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 25 Enemies meet on a narrow road

Yan Zuozuo finished the uniform design for Chi's company, and after the meeting, she went to the director's office to hand it to him.

The director was very satisfied after reviewing it: "Not bad. I'll forward it to the other party for them to review again, and we can discuss any issues further."

“Okay.” Yan Zuozuo turned to leave, when she heard the design director say, “This matter is finally over. I’m treating everyone tonight. Let’s go out and celebrate. You have to come.”

Yan Zuozuo nodded. The design director meant well, and it would be too unreasonable to refuse.

As she walked to the office door, she heard the design director say, "It's good that this matter can clear your name. As for other things, don't pursue them. Just focus on your work. I strongly recommend you for this promotion."

Yan Zuozuo didn't say anything, opened the door and went out. Sure enough, there was more to this story.

Sitting down, she rubbed her sore arms. She had been busy these past few days, rushing to finish the design drawings during the day and being kept up by Chi Moqing at night. She hadn't slept well at all and was exhausted.

She frowned, wondering where he got his energy from; he was truly wicked. Thinking about it made her both ashamed and angry, and her face involuntarily flushed.

"Zuo Zuo?" Cai Keren walked to her desk and tapped on it. "What are you thinking about? I've been calling you for ages."

Yan Zuozuo quickly snapped out of her daze, subconsciously touching her burning face, and said apologetically, "N-nothing, is something wrong?"

Cai Keren glanced at her and said, "I just heard that Wu Fang is sick and hospitalized. Let's go see her after get off work."

Yan Zuozuo then noticed that Wu Fang hadn't come to work: "Okay."

Wu Fang and she had a fairly good relationship. Since Wu Fang was sick, she should go and see her. Near the end of the workday, Cai Keren went to the restroom to touch up her makeup, changed into a sexy, tight-fitting low-cut mini-dress, and changed out of the high heels she was wearing for the meeting.

Yan Zuozuo found it strange that she had changed her clothes at that time and place. However, she didn't delve into it.

Cai Keren tossed her uniquely charming wavy curls and leaned against Yan Zuozuo's desk. "It's time to go."

Although she had a smile on her face, it didn't reach her eyes.

Yan Zuozuo nodded, and learning from her previous experience, quickly locked the design drawings in the cabinet and got up to go out with her.

"Take the bus; taxis will probably be very congested at this time," she said.

Cai Keren glanced at her: "No need, we're just hitching a ride today."

Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment, then followed Cai Keren out of the office building and saw Qi Jiahui's car parked there.

Cai Keren got into the car without being told to, but Yan Zuozuo did not.

Cai Keren rolled down the car window and said dismissively, "What are you still standing there for? Get in the car."

"No need, just tell me the hospital, I'll go there myself."

Cai Keren raised an eyebrow, but she was also pleased that she said that. Although she had hooked up with the CEO, he was, after all, a married old man, far less handsome and stylish than Qi Jiahui. Even if Qi Jiahui was engaged to He Xinrui, as long as they weren't married, she still had a chance.

Therefore, she had no reason to refuse such a good opportunity to be alone. So she smiled and said, "Municipal Hospital."

Yan Zuozuo froze. It was actually He Cangyuan's hospital. But she shouldn't be so unlucky as to run into him, right?

Qi Jiahui was somewhat displeased, but since it was He Cangyuan's hospital, he restrained himself and did not insist on inviting Yan Zuozuo.

Yan Zuozuo took the bus to the hospital. On the bus, she received a text message from Cai Keren, who gave her the ward number. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. She gripped her phone tightly and thought for a long time before realizing with a start that Chi Moqing hadn't called her today.

He was away on a business trip; that's what he told her this morning. Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but shake her head with a wry smile. Habit really is a terrible thing.

When Yan Zuozuo arrived at the hospital, she accidentally bumped into someone. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Looking up, she saw Cai Keren, her hair disheveled, one cheek swollen and red, as if she had been beaten. Her clothes were torn, and one of her high heels was missing. She was stunned, and before she could speak, Cai Keren shoved her, covered her face, and ran out.

Yan Zuozuo frowned, a possibility flashing through her mind. She hesitated for a moment, then walked towards Wu Fang's ward. Passing an office with its door tightly closed, she heard arguing coming from inside.

"Qi Jiahui, don't forget, everything you have now is given to you by the He family. If you dare to betray me, I'll ruin your reputation!" He Xinrui's shrill voice rang out.

“There’s really nothing between us, we just came to visit a colleague. She lunged at me, and I was about to push her away when you appeared…” He Jiahui explained, followed by He Xinrui’s warning voice.

She quickened her pace, head down, hurrying forward. She had absolutely no desire to get involved in anything concerning He Xinrui and Qi Jiahui. Thump! What bad luck she had today—she bumped into someone again.

He Cangyuan hadn't expected to run into Yan Zuozuo at the hospital. His first reaction upon seeing her was: this is Chi Moqing's wife; his second reaction was that he couldn't let Xinrui know about their relationship. He dared not offend the former, and he was afraid of the latter.

"You..." He Cangyuan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Madam He, who was following behind him. "Isn't this President Chi's wife? What are you doing here?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded and smiled faintly, "I've come to see a colleague."

To be honest, aside from the fact that she disliked Madam He and her daughter for their high-mindedness, she couldn't really blame them. After all, it was all He Cangyuan's doing, and they were kept in the dark.

"Oh, I wonder which bed this patient is in? I'd like to ask the doctor to take extra care of him," Mrs. He said warmly.

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "It should be nothing serious. Thank you, Madam Chi."

He Cangyuan looked at her with a complicated expression. Yan Zuozuo nodded and walked towards the ward. Wu Fang was fine, just had caught a cold and had a fever. With her husband by her side, she was in good spirits.

After chatting for a while, Yan Zuozuo was about to leave when Qi Jiahui brought He Xinrui in. The elders of the He family all knew about Yan Zuozuo and Qi Jiahui's relationship, but they kept He Xinrui and her mother in the dark.

When He Xinrui saw Yan Zuozuo, she remembered her relationship with Chi Moqing and asked in surprise, "Mrs. Chi, what are you doing here?"

Yan Zuozuo glanced at her: "This is my colleague."

He Xinrui was taken aback. She looked at Wu Fang, then at Yan Zuozuo, and asked, "Are you also an employee of Fanhua Construction?"

Qi Jiahui turned to her and smiled, "Yes, Mrs. Chi is our best designer. I forgot to introduce her to you last time." He looked at Yan Zuozuo, "This is my fiancée, He Xinrui."

"Ms. He, hello." Facing He Cangyuan's new lover's daughter, Yan Zuozuo tried her best to remain calm.

He Xinrui only knew about Yan Zuozuo's relationship with Chi Moqing. The He family relied on the Chi family, so they were particularly warm to her. "Madam Chi, I'm really sorry about what happened last time. Please forgive me."

Yan Zuozuo looked at her in surprise, not expecting such a difference in treatment between Miss Yan and Madam Chi. She smiled disdainfully to herself, "It's getting late, I'll head back now." Turning to Wu Fang, she said, "I'll come see you another day, I'm leaving now."

Wu Fang's lips twitched: "I just have a slight fever, I'll be fine another day, are you cursing me?"

Yan Zuozuo chuckled twice, then turned and left.

He Cangyuan was troubled by the fact that the Chi family hadn't signed the contract yet, and he figured it must be related to Yan Zuozuo. So he waited for her at the hospital entrance, wanting to talk to her.

Yan Zuozuo found his words amusing. "Dean He is joking. Chi Moqing has always been a person who keeps his personal and professional life separate. Besides, I don't understand his work-related matters. Dean He, you should go and see him."

Her mind was not on communicating with He Cangyuan at all. She had completely given up on him after what happened last time and only wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

"Zuo Zuo." He Cangyuan stopped her. "I know you hate me. I'm sorry to you and your daughter, but I had my reasons..."

Yan Zuozuo couldn't believe someone could be so shameless. She sneered, shook off He Cangyuan's arm, and walked away. But He Cangyuan didn't give up and chased after her. All of this was witnessed by Qi Jiahui, who was standing not far away. He was stunned, and his fingers unconsciously tightened. What was He Cangyuan doing, grabbing Zuozuo?

Yan Zuozuo didn't want to listen to He Cangyuan at all, but he wouldn't let her go. Just as she was about to explode in anger, Chi Moqing called.

"Are you still busy at the company?" Chi Moqing asked wearily.

Yan Zuozuo glanced at He Cangyuan and said, "I came to the hospital to visit a colleague, I'll be back soon. Are you home yet?"

"Just arrived. Where are you? I'll come pick you up." As he spoke, Chi Moqing's voice came from the other end of the phone as he took out his keys.

Yan Zuozuo hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can take a taxi back from the entrance of the Municipal Hospital."

"Wait for me." Chi Moqing hung up the phone without saying anything more.

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally looked at He Cangyuan indifferently, "Chi Moqing will come to pick me up later. You can ask him anything in person."

He Cangyuan knew Chi Moqing's temperament well; he would never discuss work in public. After a pause, he said, "Then... how is your mother?"

"What does it have to do with you? If you really cared about her, you wouldn't have abandoned her back then," Yan Zuozuo sneered.

He Cangyuan was stung by her sharp words when his phone rang. It was Mrs. He looking for him. He gave her a heavy look, then sighed and left.

Qi Jiahui was just about to go find Yan Zuozuo when he saw Chi Moqing get out of the car. Yan Zuozuo's mind was full of He Cangyuan, filled with resentment and hatred. Although her eyes were staring straight ahead, her pupils were unfocused and unfocused.

Chi Moqing walked over with a faint smile and called out to her, "Wife, you can also wander around in your mind's eye even when you're out?"

Yan Zuozuo then came to her senses and saw Chi Moqing standing beside her. She immediately exclaimed with delight, "You're here."

Chi Moqing smoothed the hair on her forehead and smiled, "Yes, I've come to pick up my wife."

Yan Zuozuo smiled shyly, her face flushed, and she felt inexplicably sweet inside.

"Wait here for me, I'm going to buy something." Chi Moqing didn't say what she wanted to buy, and went straight to the pharmacy next door.

Qi Jiahui finally seized the opportunity, his tall figure quickly walking over. Looking at Yan Zuozuo's sweet face, he felt a surge of jealousy. "He's here to pick you up?"

Yan Zuozuo didn't want to see him, and frowned. "He's my husband, is there something wrong with that?"

Qi Jiahui snorted coldly: "Are you sure he likes you that much? Maybe he's just using you as a substitute."

Yan Zuozuo glanced at him but didn't say anything.

When they were together, Yan Zuozuo was always obedient to him, as gentle as a little rabbit. But now, she was ignoring him. This made Qi Jiahui feel uneasy, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Yan Zuozuo, pulling her away.
