Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

After dinner, Yan Zuozuo chatted with her mother in the room for a while. Her mother, who was going back the next day, went to bed early. When Yan Zuozuo returned to her room, Chi Moqing was still working. Seeing her come in, he closed his laptop.

"Is Mom asleep?" he asked.

Yan Zuozuo nodded and was about to grab her pajamas when someone pounced on her from behind, grabbed her, and pinned her to the bed.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, instinctively grabbing Chi Moqing's neck. "What...what are you doing?"

Chi Moqing chuckled, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips. "I think it's necessary for us to have a deeper conversation so you can fully understand our unusual sibling relationship."

Yan Zuozuo then realized how petty this man was, still holding a grudge even now. She placed her hand between the two of them and forced a dry laugh, "What brother-sister relationship? You are my husband, a handsome, intelligent, and exceptionally wise CEO."

Chi Moqing shook his head: "It's too late to be a sycophant now. I'll show you who's more charming, me or Lee Min-ho."

"No, no need. My husband is the most charming, the most, most, most... most charming!" Yan Zuozuo stated her position decisively. Seeing Chi Moqing's smile growing increasingly sinister, she felt her life was in danger. She fiddled with Chi Moqing's tie, asking plaintively, "You don't believe me?"

Chi Moqing smiled wickedly, "I don't really believe it anymore."

"me!"

That night, Yan Zuozuo finally realized how terrifying a petty man could be. She vowed never to provoke a man's personal charm again, otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she died.

On Monday, Yan Zuozuo was rushing to finish a ring design. The design director had repeatedly emphasized that it needed to be designed with care, saying that the client was a big boss and perfection was a must. Yan Zuozuo revised it again and again, always feeling that something was missing, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Suddenly, her phone rang on the table. Startled, she quickly grabbed it and said, "Hello."

"Yan Zuozuo?" A pleasant, gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yan Zuozuo stretched her shoulders, surprised to hear the other person call her name correctly. She glanced at the caller ID, confirming she didn't recognize the person, and asked, "Who are you?"

"He Xinrui, Qi Jiahui's fiancée." He Xinrui's voice turned sinister. Yan Zuozuo was taken aback; it must have been the hospital incident that made He Xinrui aware of her relationship with Qi Jiahui. She frowned. "What does Miss He want with me?"

"I just wanted to invite Miss Yan for a cup of coffee. You don't need to ask for leave; I'll just call my uncle. Oh, your CEO is my uncle," He Xinrui said arrogantly.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of drinking coffee with strangers or people I'm not familiar with. Miss He, please find someone else." She coldly refused. Yan Zuozuo had no liking for this arrogant and rude half-sister.

"Is Miss Yan feeling guilty?" He Xinrui asked.

“I don’t understand what Miss He means. If Miss He is looking for me because of Qi Jiahui, all I can tell you is that he is my boss. Even if there was something before, it’s all in the past.” Yan Zuozuo gripped her phone tighter and took a deep breath.

He Xinrui sneered: "If this really happens, how will Miss Yan explain this video I have?"

video?

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. "What video?"

“Why don’t we meet and talk? I don’t think Miss Yan would want me to send the video to President Chi, right?” He Xinrui threatened, but Yan Zuozuo flatly refused. “There’s no need. I’m not interested in your business with Qi Jiahui, and I’m already married. Miss He, you’re asking me to have coffee. You should keep your own man in check. After all, I don’t want to be harassed all the time.”

"Yan Zuozuo!" He Xinrui finally erupted, growling through gritted teeth, "Very well, you'd better remember what you said today. I will never let go of Qi Jiahui!"

After saying that, He Xinrui angrily hung up the phone. Yan Zuozuo frowned. She and Qi Jiahui no longer had any personal relationship. What they wanted to do was none of her business.

Cai Keren stood beside Yan Zuozuo's desk, smoothed her uniquely charming wavy hair, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Having many suitors also has its downsides. This is how rivals in love come knocking on your door?"

Yan Zuozuo glanced at her, disliking her gloating tone. She remained silent and continued working on the design drawings.

Feeling awkward, Cai Keren glanced at her design casually and said indifferently, "Quite unique."

Yan Zuozuo frowned and said unhappily, "If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and do your work. I still have to work."

The theft of her design drawings left Yan Zuozuo with a lingering fear. Moreover, the higher-ups were clearly concealing the truth. Although she didn't know who had actually stolen her designs, it made her more wary.

"What, are you afraid I'll plagiarize your work? How laughable." Cai Keren sneered and turned to leave. However, before leaving, her gaze lingered on Yan Zuozuo's design for a moment.

Yan Zuozuo felt increasingly pressured by Cai Keren, and she became a little angry. Just then, the design director walked over, tapped on her desk, and said, "Zuozuo, there's a cocktail party tonight. Get ready to attend."

"I understand." Having been with the company for three years, she'd attended countless parties, big and small. Some she could decline, others she couldn't. For example, if the design director personally instructed her to attend, she had to.

After get off work, Yan Zuozuo touched up her light makeup in the restroom when Cai Keren walked in. She glanced at her and said, "I heard that everyone attending this party is a socialite and heiress. If you can secure a significant order for the company, it will greatly help your promotion. Zuozuo, I won't lie to you, I'm definitely taking the design team leader position!"

Yan Zuozuo nodded calmly, packed her things, and said, "Then I congratulate you in advance."

She didn't notice Cai Keren's expression and went straight out. Ever since Cai Keren started pursuing Qi Jiahui, she had avoided her whenever possible. She used to think that the bad rumors in the company were unfair to Cai Keren, but now it seemed that there might really be some truth to them.

She called Chi Moqing and told him she had to attend a party that evening and might be home late. She remembered him saying he liked coming home to warm lights and a sleeping wife waiting for him; she was afraid she'd disappoint him tonight.

She never thought Chi Moqing was the type of man who would act cute or coquettish, but his occasional childishness made her both amused and exasperated. So, she always left a light on for him, and as long as he didn't come home too late, she would sit under the light and wait for him.

"Don't drink too much. I also have a business dinner over there tonight. Wait for me to go back together," he said.

Yan Zuozuo was somewhat surprised, but still nodded in agreement.

The largest hotel in S City was resplendent with gold and silver, filled with the clinking of glasses and the merriment of guests. Men and women moving about inside were all dressed in gold and silver, enjoying the elegant and sophisticated atmosphere.

Tonight's banquet is a gathering of political and business figures. If they can reach a cooperation agreement with those large enterprises and companies, Fanhua Design will reach a new level. Therefore, the CEO of Fanhua Construction attaches great importance to this event and has instructed the design director to handle it well.

Yan Zuozuo disliked these kinds of occasions. Whether it was political and business figures or wealthy heiresses, everyone spoke in a profound and unfathomable way, which she couldn't handle. She especially disliked the arrogant and willful attitudes of some of these spoiled rich heiresses.

Following behind the design director, Yan Zuozuo seemed absent-minded, and she didn't even hear the design director speaking to her.

"Zuo Zuo, Zuo Zuo..." The design director called her several times, and Yan Zuo Zuo came back to her senses and smiled apologetically. Just as she was about to speak, she saw He Cangyuan standing beside her, and she subconsciously lifted her leg to leave.

"Zuo Zuo, this is our company's major shareholder, Director He of the Municipal Hospital," the design director introduced.

"He is also Vice Chairman Qi's future father-in-law and Miss He's father," Cai Keren said with a charming smile, her words carrying a deeper meaning.

Yan Zuozuo said indifferently, "Hello, Dean He."

He Cangyuan looked at Yan Zuozuo with a strange expression, his smile somewhat awkward.

The design director glanced at the two of them, sensing something was off. Especially He Cangyuan's attitude, which seemed both apologetic and somewhat humble. He turned and handed a glass of wine to Yan Zuozuo, saying, "Let's toast Dean He together. We'll need his help to smooth things over and get more clients later."

Yan Zuozuo frowned, not wanting to give He Cangyuan any face. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a voice say, "Dad, drink less."

Yan Zuozuo looked up and met Qi Jiahui's smiling face. Beside him was He Xinrui, who was all smiles. Compared to Cai Keren's glamorous beauty, He Xinrui had a noble and elegant beauty. Her light blue dress accentuated her curvaceous figure. She was indeed He Cangyuan's darling daughter.

She walked over, took the quilt from He Cangyuan's hand, and said coquettishly, "Dad, you're getting old, you need to take care of your health." Then she handed the quilt to Qi Jiahui.

He Cangyuan glanced at Yan Zuozuo subconsciously, then smiled and said to He Xinrui, "You're here, so I don't need to introduce you. Everyone knows each other. I heard that Fan Hua has been very busy lately, thank you all for your hard work."

He Xinrui smiled and nodded to everyone, but there wasn't much of a smile in her eyes. She nestled in Qi Jiahui's arms, giving him a coquettish look, "So that's why you've been leaving early and coming home late lately. Turns out you've been busy with company matters. It's all my fault, I even misunderstood you." As she spoke, she tiptoed and planted a kiss on Qi Jiahui's cheek, "I'm sorry, I'll treat you tonight."

Her words were shy and ambiguous, and Qi Jiahui smiled awkwardly, but his eyes were fixed on Yan Zuozuo.

A cold glint flashed in He Xinrui's eyes, but when she met Yan Zuozuo's gaze, she smiled and said, "This must be Miss Yan, Jia Hui's ex-girlfriend? I'm sorry, because of me, your relationship ended without a trace."

She spoke with composure and grace, showing no sign of remorse. Indeed, she didn't need to feel guilty, after all, it was Qi Jiahui who made the choice. Yan Zuozuo smiled, "It's all in the past. If Miss He hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it even happened."

Qi Jiahui's expression changed, and He Xinrui was also taken aback, not expecting her to say that. It seemed she had truly underestimated Yan Zuozuo.
