Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Yan Zuozuo paused, feeling a lump in her throat, unable to speak. But she didn't want Chi Moqing to notice, so she smiled and stood up from his arms, saying, "Okay, you go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower."

Chi Moqing watched her figure disappear behind the bathroom door, his eyes narrowing. He knew she had misunderstood. It wasn't that he couldn't tell her, but he was worried she would overthink things. He sighed softly and followed her into the bathroom.

Yan Zuozuo had just finished taking off her clothes when she saw him come in. She exclaimed in surprise, "W-how did you get in?" She crossed her arms and covered herself with her clothes. "Why don't you take a shower first?"

As she spoke, she tried to scoot away, but the next second she was pulled into Chi Moqing's arms with a big smile on her face. "I haven't washed either. In this society that advocates saving water, let's wash together and save water."

Yan Zuozuo was suddenly stunned, and struggled to back away. She didn't believe his nonsense at all; she could tell what he wanted from the malicious glint in his eyes.

“Actually, this doesn’t save water at all. You’re the CEO, so you must know why. Therefore, I think it’s better for us to wash them separately to comply with the national call,” Yan Zuozuo quickly stated.

"It's precisely because I'm so strategic that I know how to save water this way." He turned on the shower with a wicked smile, and Yan Zuozuo was instantly soaked. Now, there was no need to argue about whether it saved water or not.

Yan Zuozuo was on the verge of tears. What should have been a 20-minute shower had been stretched to over an hour by Chi Moqing. All this talk about saving water? This was a complete waste of water resources!

When Chi Moqing carried Yan Zuozuo out of the bathroom with satisfaction, Yan Zuozuo was so exhausted that she didn't want to move a single toe. She couldn't understand why she was so tired while he was still full of energy, even though she wasn't the one who did the physical labor. It was simply unfair!

Chi Moqing held her in his arms, and Yan Zuozuo nestled close to him, their bodies pressed together, neither of them speaking. Yan Zuozuo was extremely sleepy, her eyelids drooping. Just as she was about to fall asleep, Chi Moqing's calm voice suddenly came from behind her, "I drank not because of Cai Qingqing, but because of Uncle Cai. He and Dad have a very good relationship; they've been comrades-in-arms for decades and watched me grow up. In my heart, he is the most respectable elder."

Yan Zuozuo suddenly opened her eyes, as if all her sleepiness had vanished instantly. She hugged him tightly, offering him silent comfort.

"Believe it or not, Uncle Cai, although a soldier, has a first-rate business mind. A large part of my success today is due to his guidance. We used to be able to talk about anything, but because of Cai Qingqing, there was a rift between us. I feel very sad, especially about what happened tonight. I feel an indescribable sorrow."

Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say, and hesitated several times before finally saying softly, "Let's find some time to invite Uncle Cai over for a meal."

Chi Moqing nodded and intertwined his fingers with hers. He rested his chin on the top of her head and said softly, "Sleep."

His words were like hypnosis, and Yan Zuozuo quickly fell asleep. But Chi Moqing had no pajamas, and in the darkness, his thoughts became increasingly clear. He stared intently at the ceiling. The reason Cai Yaren had been so lenient with Cai Qingqing today was because he hoped they could be together. If it was just Cai Qingqing, it would be fine, but how was he supposed to face Cai Yaren?

Teacher and friend...

He shook his head, hugged Yan Zuozuo tightly, and no matter what, he could not let go of the happiness he had finally obtained. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep with her.

Chi Moqing had booked a hotel on Saturday after agreeing to host a dinner for his colleagues over the weekend. Originally, Chi Moqing wanted to book a hotel under the Chi Group, but Yan Zuozuo refused, saying, "A regular hotel is fine. Otherwise, it will put me in a difficult position at the company."

Chi Moqing understood, so he found a mid-range hotel. They arrived early the next day, and almost all of his colleagues from the design department had arrived. Everyone worked hard and usually ate at ordinary restaurants; they didn't have many opportunities to come to places like this.

Upon entering the private room, Yan Zuozuo looked around but didn't see Cai Keren. She wasn't sure if she felt relieved or a little sad; in any case, she felt uneasy. So, she casually asked, "Didn't Keren come?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating they hadn't seen Cai Keren. Mu Yaoqian, however, said sarcastically, "What's she doing here? Watching you get slapped in the face?"

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, remaining silent. It wasn't because of Mu Yaoqian's sarcastic tone, but rather because she couldn't understand what Mu Yaoqian had done to offend Cai Keren, causing her to harbor such resentment. But this was for the best; a clear-cut adversarial stance was far better than pretending to be kind while stabbing her in the back.

Chi Moqing placed his hand on her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. Yan Zuozuo returned the smile, indicating that she didn't mind.

Before entering the private room, the design director pulled Yan Zuozuo aside and whispered, "The CEO will be here later, so save a seat for him." He paused, then added, "Next to President Chi, you don't mind, do you?"

Yan Zuozuo showed no surprise, and simply smiled and said, "I understand."

"And..." The design director's expression seemed a little off, which puzzled Yan Zuozuo. She tentatively asked, "What else, Director?"

"The CEO called and said he would be bringing all the vice presidents along, so..."

Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly became extremely irritable, her good mood vanishing abruptly.

Everyone sat down in turn, leaving a seat next to Chi Moqing reserved for the CEO. Chi Moqing didn't react much, but Yan Zuozuo's expression changed when she saw the people behind the CEO. She frowned and looked at Chi Moqing. Chi Moqing remained calm, shaking hands with the CEO and Qi Jiahui, gesturing for them to take their seats.

She bit her lip and whispered to Chi Moqing, "I didn't know he would come."

Chi Moqing smiled, not particularly surprised. He had seen more than once that Qi Jiahui hadn't given up on Yan Zuozuo, so naturally he wouldn't miss any opportunity to spend time with her. But he wasn't one to be trifled with either. If Qi Jiahui behaved himself, he would turn a blind eye, but if Qi Jiahui did anything outrageous, he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless.

"He's very likely to take over your CEO position, so it's only natural that he brought him along. Just enjoy your time with your colleagues and don't overthink it."

Yan Zuozuo nodded and began to take turns ordering from the menu.

Actually, Qi Jiahui hadn't planned to come, but the CEO said it was a dinner party for colleagues hosted by Chi Moqing and his wife. As soon as he heard that Yan Zuozuo was coming, he couldn't help but come along.

Even within the design department, there are factions. Even though they're there because they're paid to be there, some are still waiting to see what happens. The ex-boyfriend and the current husband—who knows what kind of exciting scene will unfold?

The CEO was busy trying to get closer to Chi Moqing and didn't notice the awkward atmosphere. He had only casually asked Qi Jiahui about it earlier, not really invited him. He never expected Chi to agree so readily, which made him feel embarrassed.

"Today, Zuo Zuo's husband is treating us. Let's all raise a toast to them and wish them a long and happy marriage, and many children," the CEO said, raising his glass.

Seeing Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo's intimate interaction already made Qi Jiahui feel uneasy. Hearing the CEO's words now only made him feel worse. He sat there silently, picked up his wine glass, and downed it in one gulp.

Chi Moqing glanced at him almost imperceptibly, but didn't say anything.

After finishing his drink, the CEO was about to pour one for Chi Moqing when Yan Zuozuo immediately said, "Moqing has a sensitive stomach, and the doctor advised him not to drink alcohol. Let him have tea instead. You can do as you please."

Chi Moqing smiled, shook Yan Zuozuo's hand, and then said to the others, "I'll listen to my wife, you can do as you please."

The CEO laughed heartily: "President Chi and Zuo Zuo have such a good relationship."

Next came the toasts from Chi Moqing's colleagues, who tried to get closer to her. Chi Moqing substituted tea for alcohol, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant. But Qi Jiahui found this very unpleasant, and he drank alone in silence, his face quickly turning red.

Yan Zuozuo ate her food silently, having initially thought it would be a joyous gathering, but Qi Jiahui's arrival had ruined it, leaving her feeling quite down. Everyone could see her unhappiness, except for Chi Moqing, who maintained a gentle smile and responded politely to everyone else's questions.

Wise and learned, shrewd yet ambitious, he truly deserves to be the leader of the Chi Group. Everyone genuinely admires him and enjoys chatting with him, especially the CEO who wants to curry favor with him.

"Yan Zuozuo, you've really found a rich and handsome husband. He's so refined and gentle. No wonder Cai Keren is jealous of you." Mu Yaoqian looked at her with a half-smile, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Yan Zuozuo looked up at her but didn't speak. In the company, besides Cai Keren, only Mu Yaoqian disliked her. If Cai Keren was jealous of her, she really didn't understand why Mu Yaoqian was hostile towards her.

She stood up with a slight smile on her face, "You guys eat, I'm going to the restroom."

Chi Moqing nodded: "Go ahead."

Yan Zuozuo walked outside, but unexpectedly Mu Yaoqian followed. They weren't usually that close, but Mu Yaoqian unusually put her arm around Yan Zuozuo's shoulder and smiled, "Yan Zuozuo, is your mother Yan Fenfang?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, looking at her with displeasure. "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing. Lately when I go home, my dad keeps mentioning Aunt Yan to me. They seem to be very close. Maybe we'll become even closer in the future." She chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just envy your good luck, mother and daughter." Mu Yaoqian sneered and went straight into the restroom.

Yan Zuozuo frowned, thinking about Mu Yaoqian's words. Suddenly, the phone call from when Yan's mother came to the house last time flashed through her mind.

Mr. Mu... could he be Mu Yaoqian's father?

Shock!

Before Yan Zuozuo could react, a dark figure suddenly pounced on her. She felt herself being tightly embraced, enveloped in a strong smell of alcohol. She struggled, but the man's arms were strong, and she couldn't break free.

She looked up and met Qi Jiahui's drunken face, and growled, "Qi Jiahui, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Yan Zuozuo was truly enraged, resorting to punches and kicks. No matter how much she had loved him before, he had already abandoned her; what was the point of continuing this entanglement?

"Zuo Zuo, why won't you wait for me? I love you. Please wait for me, just for a year. I swear I'll come back to you. Give me another chance, and we can start over."

Sensing Yan Zuozuo's struggle, Qi Jiahui pleaded desperately. His voice was quite loud, which suddenly silenced the previously lively private room, and everyone's eyes turned to Chi Moqing.
