Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Pfft! Fu Zixin choked, coughing incessantly. She reached up to wipe the water from her face, the liquid slowly sliding down the wall. Covering her face, she cried uncontrollably, "I never believed in love at first sight, but I've fallen for him... Zuo Zuo, Yan Zuo Zuo, tell me what to do... The more time we spend together, the more I like him, I can't give him up..."

Yan Zuozuo turned off the shower, helped her into the bathtub, and filled it with warm water. "If you want to talk, take a shower first. I'll wait for you outside." With that, she went out.

She sat there stunned on the living room sofa. Seeing Fu Zixin like this, she thought of He Xinrui. What an arrogant woman, actually apologizing to her for Qi Jiahui—it must be true love, right?

When asked if she had ever resented He Xinrui and Qi Jiahui, she seemed a little lost. Perhaps she had, but she could no longer find that feeling.

Why? Is it because she already has another man in her heart?

Thinking of Chi Moqing, Yan Zuozuo's lips curled into a smile that she herself didn't even realize.

Half an hour later, Fu Zixin came out with red eyes, wearing a bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her head, sitting opposite Yan Zuozuo with a haggard look on her face.

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow and poured her a glass of water. "Feeling better?"

Fu Zixin nodded, then slumped listlessly onto the sofa. "I can't continue with this show. I'll go to the management tomorrow and ask for a replacement." She coughed twice, her voice hoarse with drunkenness.

Yan Zuozuo sighed: "You're my best friend for life, how could I hurt you? It's precisely because I've been through it that I don't want you to get hurt like I have. Let's not even talk about how you'll be heartbroken if that policeman doesn't break up with his girlfriend; even if he does break up with her because of you, can you be at peace? The guilt towards your ex-girlfriend, the doubts about his character—can you really go the distance?"

Fu Zixin was stunned for a moment, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

“If he were truly a good match, I would encourage you to pursue him bravely, but he is clearly not the right person for you.”

Fu Zixin lowered her eyes, took the towel off her head, and gently wiped away the water droplets. Finally, she smiled bitterly, "I know, I just...lost my composure, I'm sorry..."

"Why would we need to say such things between us? I'm just glad you're okay." Yan Zuozuo smiled. They've been friends for so many years, from high school to now. They've had their share of arguments, but they're always over in a flash and make up without a care in the world.

Fu Zixin chuckled. Her temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast. She sat down next to her and said, "By the way, why aren't you at work? Were you worried about me and came all this way?"

Yan Zuozuo glared at her, annoyed: "What do you think?"

Fu Zixin touched her nose, feeling very guilty. Then she heard Yan Zuozuo say, "It's also because I'm depressed."

She briefly explained what had happened, and sure enough, Fu Zixin exploded, "Damn! This is too much! My first instinct was that this woman was no good. She looks like a vixen. See? I was right!"

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "I don't know what I did to offend her. It's like I stole her man, and she's targeting me at every turn. Now look what's happened, I've lost my design drawings, and I'm going to get a reprimand."

"Have you checked the security footage?"

Yan Zuozuo twitched her lips: "They didn't capture it. They said the surveillance system malfunctioned during that period."

"Damn it, this is clearly a planned and premeditated frame-up. Yan Zuozuo, let me tell you, this absolutely cannot be left like this, otherwise the vixen will definitely think you're easy to bully and will only push her further. We must investigate this thoroughly and completely cut down this crooked tree that has grown so badly."

Yan Zuozuo smiled wryly. Everyone in the company said that Cai Keren and the CEO had an unusual relationship. She hadn't paid much attention to this rumor before, but just now she ran into Cai Keren at the CEO's office door. The smell, the way she looked—it would be incredibly stupid of her to say that nothing happened between them inside.

With the CEO protecting and covering for her, how easy would it be to get to the bottom of this? Suddenly, Yan Zuozuo froze. Could it be that Cai Keren was also responsible for the leak of her design drawings last time, but the CEO suppressed it?

The thought of that possibility made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Fu Zixin talked on and on, but when she turned around and saw Yan Zuozuo's unmoved expression, she immediately became furious. She poked Yan Zuozuo's head in exasperation, "Yan Zuozuo, I'm telling you, you should give me some reaction. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. She only targeted you because she saw that you were weak and easy to bully. You absolutely cannot let this go this time."

Yan Zuozuo smiled wryly: "Otherwise what? I don't have any evidence."

Fu Zixin glared at her: "Why don't we do it secretly? We can follow her, eavesdrop, and threaten her. I don't believe she won't make a mistake sometimes."

Pfft! Yan Zuozuo burst out laughing, looking at Fu Zixin with annoyance, "Do you think you're Sherlock Holmes? You can do stalking and eavesdropping? Why don't you just become a private detective?"

Fu Zixin glanced at her smugly: "You know what, if private investigators didn't have so much negativity, I might be the number one detective in the world. This little thing of yours is a piece of cake."

Yan Zuozuo politely declined, saying, "You should just stick to being an entertainment reporter. If you become a detective, who knows how many people you'll harm."

"Hey, Yan Zuozuo, that's a blatant personal attack!"

Yan Zuozuo laughed loudly: "I'm going to attack you, so what?"

"Yan Zuozuo, I'm going to fight you to the death!" With that, Fu Zixin lunged at him.

Remembering their cooking plans for tonight, Yan Zuozuo hurriedly said goodbye to Fu Zixin and ran to the supermarket. She thought to herself, this is the first time she's seriously cooking, so she has to make it look decent.

"Dinner should be light: celery and lily bulbs, garlic broccoli, pumpkin and pork rib stew, and finally shrimp and tofu soup..." Yan Zuozuo said as she put vegetables into the shopping cart. Just as she reached for the broccoli, another hand reached out and grabbed the same broccoli.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. The girl smiled and said softly, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Yan Zuozuo remembered that this girl was the one she had met at the noodle shop across from the company before, and smiled at her, "Yes, you live around here too?"

The girl held out her hand and said, "My name is Cai Qingqing, and I live in the neighborhood not far ahead."

Yan Zuozuo shook hands with her: "I'm Yan Zuozuo, it seems we live in the same neighborhood."

"What a coincidence." The two chatted as they pushed their shopping carts. Yan Zuozuo felt that Cai Qingqing looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

It wasn't until she got home that Yan Zuozuo realized that Cai Qingqing not only lived in the same neighborhood as her, but even in the same building. The only difference was that they lived on the 31st floor, while Cai Qingqing lived on the 26th floor.

"I never expected we'd be so destined for each other," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile.

"Yes, since we're so destined to meet, we should keep in touch more often. I don't have many friends here, so I'll consider you one of them." Cai Qingqing smiled gently.

Yan Zuozuo, being rather guileless, naturally nodded in agreement. Her phone rang; it was Chi Moqing calling, "Are you off work? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need, no need, I'm almost home," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile.

"So, does that mean I can start looking forward to my dinner from now on?"

"Sure, but don't get your expectations too high, hehe." She touched her nose, after all, cooking wasn't her forte.

Chi Moqing chuckled softly, "Don't push yourself too hard. If you really can't, wait for me to come back."

"Okay, be careful on the road." Yan Zuozuo still had a smile on her face after hanging up.

"Boyfriend?" Cai Qingqing asked tentatively.

“My husband.” Yan Zuozuo entered the elevator, and Cai Qingqing nodded without saying anything more. Just before they exited the elevator, she suddenly asked, “Can I call you Zuozuo from now on?”

"Of course." Yan Zuozuo smiled, and then heard Cai Qingqing say, "You can call me Qingqing. I'm leaving now, bye."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, unaware that the moment the elevator doors closed, Cai Qingqing's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy.

When Chi Moqing returned, Yan Zuozuo was cooking. Her movements weren't exactly skillful, but they were still pleasing to the eye. A bit scatterbrained, adorable, and stubborn—the more time he spent with Yan Zuozuo, the more content he felt.

Yan Zuozuo turned around when she heard his voice, and smiled at him, "You're back? Wait a bit, I'll be done in a little while."

"Do you need any help?" Taking off his coat, Chi Moqing walked towards the kitchen.

While stir-frying the vegetables, Yan Zuozuo said, "Could you take the shrimp out for me? I'll need them later."

Chi Moqing smiled and helped her scoop out the shrimp. Seeing her flustered movements, he suddenly found it amusing. He moved closer to her, his handsome face suddenly looming large in front of her. Yan Zuozuo jumped in fright, her eyes widening as she looked at him, "W-what are you doing? You can...you can get out...I can do it myself..."

Chi Moqing's hot breath sprayed onto her face, and as he watched Yan Zuozuo's face become increasingly rosy, the smile in his eyes deepened.

Yan Zuozuo felt her body burning under his gaze; he looked as if he wanted to devour her whole. Seeing that she had no way to escape, she tightly closed her eyes, deciding to accept reality. However, she heard a low chuckle, followed by a light kiss on her lips. "Wife, you've worked hard."

Yan Zuozuo suddenly opened her eyes and met his half-smiling gaze. She realized she had been tricked and was immediately furious and embarrassed. Just as she was about to protest, he pulled her into his arms and said mischievously, "Are you disappointed? Do you want me to give you something hotter?"

Yan Zuozuo's face turned even redder, and she cursed him inwardly, grinding her teeth as she said, "You, you don't talk nonsense, let go!"

Chi Moqing laughed heartily, pressing their bodies even closer together, and teased, "Am I talking nonsense? Tsk tsk, your little face is as red as an apple, I really want to take a bite."

"Chi Moqing!" Yan Zuozuo growled, her awkward yet stubborn expression utterly adorable in Chi Moqing's eyes. The next second, his lips pressed against hers, plunging deep into her mouth, the kiss both intense and urgent, making her blush and her heart race.

Yan Zuozuo was moved, until the smell of burning food came over her, which startled her awake. She pushed Chi Moqing away and yelled, "It's all your fault! Go away, go away, go away!"

Chi Moqing stared unsatisfiedly at the slightly burnt pot when he heard Yan Zuozuo shout, "Ahhh, we're out of soy sauce! Go downstairs and buy a bottle!"

Chi Moqing smiled helplessly, grabbed his coat, and walked outside. Only after he left did Yan Zuozuo hurriedly straighten her clothes, which he had messed up. He was so mean.

Chi Moqing was in a good mood, a smile on his face. However, the moment he stepped out of the house, his expression suddenly darkened, and his sharp eyes fixed on the woman blocking his way. "What is it?"
