Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chi Moqing's illness wasn't serious; she just needed time to recover. Mother Yan was about to take the bus back, and Mother Chi saw her off at the station. Before leaving, Mother Yan didn't forget to admonish Yan Zuozuo to take good care of Chi Moqing.

Only the two of them remained in the ward. Yan Zuozuo pouted and looked at Chi Moqing accusingly, "You made me get scolded."

Chi Moqing chuckled and waved to her, "It's my fault. I'll make it up to you properly when I'm discharged from the hospital."

"If you don't drink anymore, that'll be your way of making it up to me. I can't expect anything else." She chuckled as she placed her things on the bedside table. "Want some yogurt?"

Chi Moqing shook her head and patted the empty seat next to her. "Come up and sleep with me for a while." After a whole night of tossing and turning and not getting a good night's sleep during the day, you could see the fatigue between her brows.

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "No need, I'm not sleepy."

"Hurry up, or do you want me to get down and grab you?" With that, Chi Moqing was about to get out of bed. This was a patient, after all. Yan Zuozuo quickly gave in and was held in his arms the next second, lying steadily on the bed.

She nudged Chi Moqing, "Don't do this, the nurse will be here soon." If the nurse saw them like this, would she even want to live?

"You're my wife, legally married, what can you do if you come?" Chi Moqing said confidently. Seeing that Yan Zuozuo was still struggling, he simply resorted to a pleading tactic, "I'm in pain and tired right now, and I didn't hold you while I slept last night. I'm so sleepy."

His gentle voice carried a hint of grievance, leaving Yan Zuozuo speechless. Like a little wooden puppet, she let him hold her and drift into a light dream. She was completely dumbfounded, staring at his handsome face so close to hers, and finally had no choice but to give in.

Chi Moqing opened his eyes after Yan Zuozuo fell asleep. He looked down at her shallow breathing and sleepy face, and his heart softened. She was clearly very shy, but she gave in to him with just a few words. Wouldn't it be a sin for him not to hold such a woman in his arms and cherish her?

He leaned down and kissed her forehead, tenderly stroking the dark circles under her eyes. She must have been exhausted last night. He held her tighter, a loving smile playing on his lips. "Sleep now."

Yan Zuozuo didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, it was almost dark. He was holding her in his arms, his head buried in her chest. The contrast between his strength and gentleness was a strange feeling.

Chi Moqing shifted slightly, showing no intention of letting go of her. Yan Zuozuo blinked, "Are you awake?"

"Sleepy." Chi Moqing held her tightly, refusing to let go.

Yan Zuozuo felt that Chi Moqing was acting like a child right now, and she was his favorite toy. She smiled helplessly, glanced at the clock on the wall, and realized it was almost 6:30. Oh no! Time to make dinner.

She nudged him, but he had fallen asleep again, so she quietly got out of bed and went to the kitchen. This was a VIP ward, just like this small apartment, fully equipped with everything one could need.

Chi Moqing only opened his eyes after Yan Zuozuo went into the kitchen. He sat on the bed for a moment, then took out his phone and called his assistant, "How's the house renovation going?"

"It won't be until next weekend at the earliest," the assistant said seriously. "President, I've squeezed out all my vacation time to help you supervise the work. Once things are settled, I'll request a week's leave."

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow. His workaholic assistant was actually asking for a vacation. He smiled and said, "No problem."

Chi Ran came to the hospital to see Chi Moqing. Knowing that Yan Zuozuo couldn't hear her because she was in the kitchen, she asked, "Brother, do you still care about that woman?"

Chi Moqing glanced at her and said calmly, "That's all in the past."

"If you had gone back earlier, why would you have gotten yourself into this state? How did you get this stomach problem? You hadn't had an attack in a long time, but it flared up as soon as she came back. Aren't you just admitting it?"

"You're overthinking it." Chi Moqing glanced at her indifferently. "I ran into a few heavy drinkers at a business dinner yesterday, there's nothing I can do about it."

Chi Ran clearly didn't believe him, and Chi Moqing didn't say anything more. Actually, his stomach ailment wasn't caused by Cai Qingqing; it was just that a certain point in time made everyone think he was deeply in love with Cai Qingqing.

After a long while, Chi Ran said, "Should I talk to that woman?"

"No need, I've already said what I needed to say. To me, she's just a stranger I know, nothing more."

Chi Ran sighed, "That's good." Suddenly, she smelled a delicious aroma, and her eyes lit up. She smacked her lips and said, "Sister-in-law's cooking is great! I'm hungry too, I..."

"Then go home for dinner." Chi Moqing didn't give her a chance to finish, directly shooing her away. However, looking at the figure cast into the kitchen, a slow smile appeared on his lips.

"Hey! Brother, you're really kicking me while I'm at it! I just wanted to try your cooking, you're so stingy!" She stomped her feet in dissatisfaction and insisted on rushing into the kitchen, confident that her sister-in-law wouldn't kick her out.

Chi Moqing didn't stop her, but said coolly, "I received a call from Lu Yaoyuan a couple of days ago, saying he'd be back soon and asked for your phone number. After all, we grew up together, and I'm considering whether I should give it to him..."

Chi Ran paused in her steps toward the kitchen, a chill running down her spine. She turned around in alarm, "Is that guy surnamed Lu coming back?"

Chi Moqing nodded: "In the next couple of days, I think. I said I'm coming back to open a studio and I don't plan to leave anymore."

"Brother, my phone suddenly rang and I have something to do, so I'll go back now." Chi Ran practically ran, as if a ghost was chasing her.

Chi Moqing smiled, and only after Chi Ran left did he say slowly, "Running so fast, we still ran into each other when the time was right, you're so stupid!"

Yan Zuozuo came out of the kitchen carrying dishes just as he finished speaking. Hearing him speak, she asked, "Was someone just here?"

"Chi Ran." Chi Moqing sat at the table next to her, looking at the bland dishes, and said with a wronged expression, "Does this mean I'll never have the right to eat delicious food again?"

Yan Zuozuo chuckled, "That's right for now." Seeing Chi Moqing pitifully pick up his chopsticks, poking at them left and right but unwilling to eat, she chuckled, "In a couple of days, I'll go home and learn a few more light and delicious dishes from Mom to make for you. Just make do with this for now." As she spoke, she served him some soup.

“No, it’s fine this way.” Chi Moqing suddenly spoke up, making Yan Zuozuo raise an eyebrow in surprise. He smiled: “I married you to cherish you, not to be your maid. I’ll find a part-time housekeeper in a few days, so you won’t have to work too hard.”

"Why hire a part-time cook? I'm not that busy with work. You have a sensitive stomach, and I'm worried about you." She glared at him, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Actually, she wasn't someone who liked to cook, but if it was for Chi Moqing, she didn't seem to mind at all.

Chi Moqing suddenly froze, staring at her casual yet graceful movements for a long while without saying a word. Yan Zuozuo looked up at him, and seeing his dazed expression, waved her hand in front of him, "What are you thinking about?"

Chi Moqing snapped out of her daze, smiled, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just suddenly very glad that I married you."

Yan Zuozuo chuckled: "Don't you think I have the potential to be a virtuous wife and loving mother?"

"I have a virtuous wife, but as for a good mother..." Chi Moqing glanced at her lower abdomen as if he were not paying attention, a sly glint in his eyes, "I don't mind verifying it sooner rather than later."

"Chi Moqing!" Yan Zuozuo growled, her face flushed. How come she hadn't noticed how wicked this man was this morning? She sat opposite him, feeling both ashamed and angry, and ate her food in large mouthfuls, finishing every last bite and leaving him nothing.

Chi Moqing laughed heartily, finding his little wife incredibly adorable.

Yan Zuozuo had just overheard some of their conversation, and she asked curiously, "Who is Lu Yaoyuan?"

"He likes Chi Ran. They're childhood sweethearts, they grew up together." Chi Moqing didn't hide anything, which made Yan Zuozuo even more curious, "Chi Ran doesn't like him?"

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "It's not that we don't like it, it's just that there's a problem with our communication style."

"Ok?"

"You'll see later." Chi Moqing put some food on her plate. "Even if I want to eat something light, you should still cook something nice for yourself. Don't eat like me and you'll get thin from starving."

"I just want to lose weight! Don't you think I've gained a lot of weight recently?" Yan Zuozuo pinched her waist and said with dissatisfaction.

Chi Moqing's face immediately darkened: "No dieting allowed!"

Yan Zuozuo stuck out her little tongue: "Okay, okay, I know."

Chi Moqing stayed in the hospital for two days before the doctor finally discharged her. She was discharged on Monday, and Yan Zuozuo had originally planned to take the day off, but since she had already finished designing the ring, she decided to go to the company.

Chi Moqing insisted on giving her a ride, and Yan Zuozuo thought it was a good idea; she needed to buy groceries anyway, and someone could do the hard work. She just didn't know if it was a genuine coincidence or if someone was deliberately waiting for them. Just as the elevator descended from the 31st floor to the 26th, the doors opened, and Cai Qingqing stood there in a white chiffon dress, her long hair flowing, looking as beautiful as a fairy.

Yan Zuozuo was stunned and very suspicious. She wondered if their house had been equipped with surveillance cameras. How could she have waited so perfectly?

Chi Moqing saw that Cai Qingqing had no expression and continued to hold her calmly.

A hint of sadness flashed in Cai Qingqing's eyes, but she quickly smiled again, "What a coincidence, we've run into each other again."

"Yes, what a coincidence." Yan Zuozuo forced a smile, not wanting the atmosphere to become too awkward.

"Don't you go to work on Mondays, or are you only going to work now?" Cai Qingqing asked curiously.

Just as Yan Zuozuo was about to speak, she heard Chi Moqing say, "I asked Zuozuo to take a day off so I could take her out for a walk."

"Really?" Cai Qingqing's face darkened, and she seemed to be suppressing her emotions. As the elevator approached the first floor, she suddenly said, "Where are you going? I haven't been out for a walk in a long time, why don't we go together?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Chi Moqing. He looked at Cai Qingqing expressionlessly and said, "My wife and I are enjoying some alone time. It's not suitable for Miss Cai to go."

Cai Qingqing's smile froze, and she stared blankly as Chi Moqing considerately helped Yan Zuozuo into the car, which then sped away.

Chi Moqing didn't even glance at her, and walked straight toward Yan Zuozuo's office building.

In the car, Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say, so she unconsciously turned on the radio. There weren't many good programs; most of them were singing, with the occasional comedy.

She switched channels, but it was still singing. Too lazy to change it again, she just listened. The music began softly, tinged with melancholy and loneliness.

You are still the one I love most.

The person I care about most

I'm willing to try everything.

Go and finish performing this script

If love were no longer cruel

Time will heal the wounds

Please face life bravely.

……

After the song ended, the car stopped downstairs at Yan Zuozuo's company. Chi Moqing looked at her and said, "I'll wait for you to come down."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, but couldn't help asking as she got out of the car, "Are you already facing your current life?"

Chi Moqing was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

Yan Zuozuo suddenly felt she had talked too much. Just as he had never asked about Qi Jiahui, what right did she have to ask about Cai Qingqing? She gave a self-deprecating laugh, "I was just asking casually. I'm going upstairs now."

Is it because she doesn't care, so she doesn't ask; or... or what? Yan Zuozuo can't find a reason anymore.
