Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Cai Qingqing, dressed in casual clothes, tossed her long, wavy hair, looking at him with a smile, "I'm looking for Zuo Zuo..."

Chi Moqing was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes, "What exactly is your purpose?"

Cai Qingqing smiled and said, "If I said it was just a coincidence, would you believe me?"

Chi Moqing sneered, clearly showing disbelief.

Cai Qingqing shrugged. "Okay, I just don't want to give up. I want to come back to you."

"Dream on!" Chi Moqing coldly refused. "I thought I had made myself very clear before, Cai Qingqing. Don't force me to expose your shameful deeds to the public."

Cai Qingqing was taken aback, her face turning pale. Just as she was about to speak, the door opened, revealing Yan Zuozuo's strange face. "Why haven't you... Huh? Qingqing, is something wrong?"

"Oh, I came to borrow some soy sauce from you, and I just happened to run into this man... is he your husband? He came out of your house."

Yan Zuozuo smiled shyly and turned to look at Chi Moqing. "This is my husband, Chi Moqing; this is Qingqing, whom I met in the neighborhood before. She lives downstairs from us. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Cai Qingqing reached out to greet Chi Moqing: "Zuo Zuo and I are very destined to meet. We will be neighbors from now on. Please take care of me."

Chi Moqing reached out and touched her, without giving her a second glance. Instead, he put his arm around Yan Zuozuo's waist and kissed her forehead. "Then I'll go buy soy sauce."

"Oh, so you don't have any at home either. Why don't we go together?" Cai Qingqing said playfully.

Just as Yan Zuozuo was about to speak, she heard Chi Moqing say, "Here's some change. Since Miss Cai is going, could you please bring it up for us?"

"Mo Qing!" Yan Zuozuo exclaimed in surprise, never expecting him to say such a thing; it was very impolite.

Cai Qingqing was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, wait for me." After she finished speaking, she left.

After seeing her off, Yan Zuozuo turned around and saw Chi Moqing taking out a cigarette. She looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just had a craving for a cigarette."

Yan Zuozuo nodded without speaking. She knew he was lying; how could a man who didn't usually smoke have a nicotine addiction? She didn't know what his relationship with Cai Qingqing was, but she knew they knew each other. Even if he pretended not to know her, it would be very fake.

Chi Moqing lay on the sofa with his eyes closed. Even though he didn't like smoking, he found the feeling incredibly satisfying and stimulating. It was like finding a tranquil haven in a chaotic world.

"Ah!" Yan Zuozuo exclaimed from the kitchen. She stood there dumbfounded, her brows furrowed, staring at the blood gushing from her fingers.

Upon hearing the sound, Chi Moqing immediately stubbed out his cigarette and headed to the kitchen. Seeing the wound on Yan Zuozuo's hand, his brows furrowed with worry. "How could you be so careless?" He quickly pulled her towards the living room to get the first-aid kit.

The wound was deep and looked horrific.

Chi Moqing carefully disinfected her wounds, and seeing that Yan Zuozuo's eyes were red, he asked worriedly, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip to stop her tears from falling, "It doesn't hurt."

Chi Moqing continued to tend to her wounds, but with much gentler movements. His technique was very professional, even the bandaging was done beautifully. Yan Zuozuo hadn't wanted to ask, but finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you often bandage people?"

“My mom used to run a flower shop, and she would sometimes hurt herself. When my dad wasn’t around, I would do it, and over time I became skilled at it.”

Yan Zuozuo nodded, feeling a sense of relief. She got up and walked towards the kitchen, while Chi Moqing frowned. "What are you doing?"

"The soup isn't ready yet, I'll go make it..."

"Are you deliberately trying to make me feel sorry for you?" He sighed helplessly, patted her head, pressed her back into her seat, and said seriously, "You sit here and wait, I'll go make some soup."

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip: "Actually, it was an accident just now, I..."

"Sit down!" Chi Moqing took the apron from her and put it on himself before turning and going into the kitchen.

As Yan Zuozuo watched his busy figure, her mind couldn't help but wander again, wondering what exactly was the relationship between Chi Moqing and Cai Qingqing.

Wait! She suddenly seemed to remember something—that photo!

Although she looks like a middle school student, the girl in the photo has a silhouette that is exactly the same as Cai Qingqing.

Could she be Chi Moqing's ex-girlfriend?

Yan Zuozuo froze on the spot until a muffled voice came, "Zuozuo, Zuozuo?"

Yan Zuozuo came to her senses and saw that Chi Moqing had already placed the food on the table.

"What were you thinking about just now?" Chi Moqing asked.

Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say, and finally shook her head and said, "It's nothing, just work-related stuff."

"Do you want my help?"

"I can handle this myself." Yan Zuozuo smiled, took a sip of soup, and suddenly her eyes lit up. "It's delicious! I didn't expect you to be such a good cook." Not only did it look good, but it tasted great too.

Chi Moqing smiled and said softly, "Eat quickly." But when Yan Zuozuo couldn't see him, the smile on his face disappeared.

Yan Zuozuo wasn't truly oblivious; she just didn't know how to bring it up. Everyone has a past, including herself and Qi Jiahui. Chi Moqing hadn't pressed her about it. Was she being too concerned about his past?

The next day, Chi Moqing was dropping Yan Zuozuo off at work when he ran into Cai Qingqing in the elevator. Cai Qingqing greeted them, but Chi Moqing, looking somewhat displeased, put his arm around Yan Zuozuo and walked straight to his car.

Yan Zuozuo turned around to apologize to Cai Qingqing, only to see her smile crumble. That smile seemed to be specially made for Chi Moqing; since he wasn't going to look at her anymore, there was no need for him to force himself to smile.

Once in the car, Yan Zuozuo felt a little uneasy. With her head down, she didn't notice and lurched forward. Luckily, she grabbed the door handle, otherwise she would have been hit.

Chi Moqing, who had suddenly started driving, realized his impulsiveness. He wanted to say something, but after pursing his lips, he didn't know what to say.

After a pause, Yan Zuozuo said, "About the colleagues' gathering tomorrow..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chi Moqing's phone rang. It was Chi Ran calling. "Brother, I have to tell you, Cai Qingqing is back. She even came over to our house yesterday. What is that woman trying to do? She betrayed you before, and now she's clinging to you again. I've never seen such a shameless person."

Fortunately, Chi Moqing was wearing headphones, so Yan Zuozuo didn't hear him. He nodded and said, "I understand."

Chi Ran was taken aback: "So calm, could it be that that woman contacted you?"

"Yes." He glanced at Yan Zuozuo, who was staring intently out the window, looking as if she had something on her mind.

"Your sister-in-law knows too?" Chi Ran asked after a moment of silence.

Chi Moqing's heart sank, and after a pause, she said, "I don't know, she didn't ask anything."

Chi Ran sighed and said, "Brother, sister-in-law is a good woman, don't hurt her. There are some things I think it's better for you to tell her yourself than to wait for her to ask you. If you wait until then, I'm afraid she will leave you."

Chi Moqing froze. Was that so? By the time she asked, their marriage would have come to an end?

He suddenly felt a pang of fear, a fear that they might really end up like that. His eyes narrowed, becoming unusually deep.

After hanging up, Chi Moqing suddenly spoke up, "I remember there's a colleague gathering tomorrow."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, recalling the CEO's words. She then added, "The CEO wanted to invite you to dinner, but I declined. However, I told him about the colleagues' dinner tomorrow, so he might also be there."

The car stopped downstairs at Yan Zuozuo's company. Just as Yan Zuozuo was about to get out, Chi Moqing stopped her. He said, "I know Cai Qingqing."

Yan Zuozuo was somewhat surprised and paused for a while before saying, "Ex-girlfriend?"

Chi Moqing nodded: "It's been a long time since we've been in touch. She just came back from abroad."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "Then in your heart..."

“No, the past is the past. We’re just acquaintances now.” Chi Moqing said earnestly, staring intently into Yan Zuozuo’s eyes.

Yan Zuozuo's lips curled up slightly, and she suddenly felt much happier. She was glad he was honest, and even her voice became brighter. "Then I'm going to work. As for the CEO's job, don't make things difficult for me."

"I know how to handle this." Chi Moqing watched her walk into the office building and drive away.

In the CEO's office, Chi Moqing let his assistant in, "How's the renovation of the house at Huanyu coming along?"

"It will take another month."

"Finish the renovations as soon as possible, within a week."

The assistant was taken aback and said with difficulty, "I'm afraid a week won't work. Even if we work day and night, it will still take two weeks."

Chi Moqing frowned. That house was originally intended to be his and Yan Zuozuo's new home. Originally, there wasn't such a rush, but now Cai Qingqing was disrupting their lives, and he didn't want her to live in an unstable environment, so he needed to leave as soon as possible.

"Get it sorted out in twelve days!"

Although he was somewhat embarrassed, seeing Chi Moqing's unyielding attitude, the assistant had no choice but to agree.

Chi Moqing sat alone in his office, a cold smile playing on his lips. How could Cai Qingqing possibly believe he still had feelings for her?

Chi Moqing liked Yan Zuozuo for a long time, but she fell in love with Qi Jiahui instead. Seeing her happy, he silently offered his blessings. It was precisely because Cai Qingqing and Yan Zuozuo were somewhat similar that he didn't reject her when she pursued him relentlessly, but he didn't really acknowledge it either; everyone just assumed they were a couple.

If Cai Qingqing had waited a little longer, if this woman hadn't been so eager for quick success, perhaps he might have truly acknowledged her identity. But she was too hasty, and in the end, her reputation was ruined.

After Cai Qingqing left, he felt no sadness whatsoever; instead, he felt a sense of relief. Perhaps her fate with Yan Zuozuo wasn't over yet, and after all the twists and turns, they had somehow ended up together again. Taking a deep breath, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. If Cai Qingqing behaved herself, that would be fine, but if she dared to harbor ill intentions, then she shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

Yan Zuozuo had just put down her bag when the design director called her over. Once inside the office, the design director asked, "Can you recreate the design for that ring?"

Yan Zuozuo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be possible, but I'm worried that if it gets stolen, it might end up like last time..."

"Don't worry about that. Just get it done as soon as possible, and I'll have the factory rush it. It definitely won't be like last time."

Seeing the design director's confident expression, Yan Zuozuo became even more certain that it was related to Cai Keren. However, what she cared about was the design work itself, and since the design director had said so, she certainly wouldn't refuse.

“I’ll draw another one as soon as possible,” she said.

"That's good. As for the theft of the design drawings, the company will definitely investigate to the end and give you an explanation." The design director said this, but Yan Zuozuo didn't quite believe it and just said calmly, "Then I'll wait for the company's news."

The design director sighed helplessly. He had high hopes for Yan Zuozuo, but unfortunately, Cai Keren had the CEO backing her up, so he could only leave it at that for the time being.

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

"Will President Chi be attending tomorrow's party? The CEO is also very interested, so..."

"I'll go, don't worry, Director." After leaving the office, Yan Zuozuo went to the restroom and happened to see Cai Keren touching up her makeup. She pretended not to see her, washed her hands, and left.

Cai Keren scoffed disdainfully and continued applying red lipstick in front of the mirror. The foundation was too white, the lips too red, her hair was messy and curly, and she wore a bright red dress, giving off a visually jarring, gory horror movie vibe.
