Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 56 Thank you, and I'm sorry

With Wang Kaijun and Su Fei's wedding approaching, Fu Zixin asked Yan Zuozuo to accompany her to buy a gift. Yan Zuozuo was puzzled, "Giving a monetary gift is enough, why do we need to buy a gift?"

Fu Zixin didn't say anything, but just pulled Yan Zuozuo around from counter to counter. She herself had no idea what to buy, and Yan Zuozuo just accompanied her, their legs almost giving out, but they still couldn't find anything they liked. Suddenly, Fu Zixin stopped in front of a jewelry counter and saw a very beautiful bracelet.

Crafted from pure gold and inlaid with various gemstones, this bracelet is most meaningful in that it is divided into two halves. A man needs a special tool to help the woman put it on. The salesperson explained that it's called a "concentric bracelet," symbolizing the strengthening of marital bonds through such a sweet gesture.

Fu Zixin stood in front of the bracelet for a long time, and Yan Zuozuo, seeing her silent expression, asked, "Do you like it?"

Fu Zixin pursed her lips, reaching out to touch the bracelet again and again. She so desperately wanted to buy the bracelet herself, and for the person who put it on her wrist to be Wang Kaijun. However…

There was no hope anymore; a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Zixin..." Yan Zuozuo couldn't bear to see her so heartbroken and tried to pull her away. But Fu Zixin shook her head and said to the waiter, "I want this, give me a receipt."

"Zixin!" Yan Zuozuo seemed to know her decision and reached out to stop her. But Fu Zixin smiled and said, "Gifts should be given with sincerity. Even if we are complete strangers after tomorrow, I still hope he is happy."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, no longer stopping her, but her gaze towards Fu Zixin was filled with worry.

As they were leaving with the gifts, they accidentally bumped into someone. The person was startled to see Yan Zuozuo and Fu Zixin, then exclaimed with delight, "Yan Zuozuo, Fu Zixin, I haven't mistaken you for someone else, have I?"

Yan Zuozuo and Fu Zixin exchanged glances, neither recognizing the other. The other remained unfazed, still appearing excited, "You really don't recognize me? Su Kang, back then Zixin and I were deskmates, and Yan Zuozuo sat behind us."

Yan Zuozuo suddenly realized: "Ha, Bai Piqiu! I really didn't expect to see you here. How many years has it been since we last met? Four years since the Lunar New Year, three years since I entered the workforce, it's been seven or eight years."

Because Su Kang was fair-skinned and chubby, his classmates gave him the nickname "White Ball".

"Yes, time really flies, it's gone in the blink of an eye. How have you all been these years? Have you been doing well?"

"This isn't the place to talk. How about we have lunch together?" Yan Zuozuo suggested.

Su Kang glanced at Fu Zixin, who remained silent, and said, "Hey, old classmates meeting again, is there any need to be so cold?"

Fu Zixin was thinking about tomorrow's wedding when she heard Su Kang's protest. She quickly snapped out of her reverie and smiled, "Sorry, I was a little distracted. I'll treat everyone to lunch."

"You're trying to slap me in the face? I'm having dinner with an old classmate, how can I let a girl pay?"

"Hey, so you've been making less money these past few years? Okay, I'll definitely treat you to a good meal at noon." Fu Zixin laughed, but Yan Zuozuo could tell she wasn't very happy.

The meal consisted mainly of reminiscing about their youthful days and what everyone had been up to these past few years. Upon hearing that Fu Zixin was still unmarried, Su Kang's eyes lit up. However, he remained composed and said, "Such a beautiful girl like Zixin, how come she's still not married? Could it be that her standards are too high?"

"It's not that I have high standards, it's just that men these days have high standards for women too. They always want women with big breasts, long legs, a slim waist, and a V-shaped face. Look at me, which of those qualities do I have? I'm destined to be left on the shelf."

Su Kang laughed heartily: "Zixin hasn't changed at all, just like she did back then. I like her temper and personality."

Yan Zuozuo glanced at Su Kang, then at Fu Zixin, feeling that Su Kang's words were ambiguous. However, she figured Fu Zixin probably wasn't in the mood for another relationship for the time being.

After dinner, Su Kang insisted on taking them home, but Yan Zuozuo said the company was nearby and there was no need to take them; she only needed to take Fu Zixin home. Su Kang was more than happy to oblige, and seeing that Fu Zixin didn't refuse, he was in a great mood.

On the bus, Sophie sent Fu Zixin a text message, telling her to come over early the next day because she needed to put on makeup and such. A hint of sadness flashed in Fu Zixin's eyes, and she quickly replied: I know, along with a smiley face.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Yan Zuozuo was worried about Fu Zixin and called her again to ask if she needed to come over and keep her company. Fu Zixin forced a smile, "I'm not a three-year-old child. I'm not afraid to sleep without my mom. Don't worry about me. Go home and make dinner for your CEO Chi."

Yan Zuozuo didn't know if Fu Zixin was really alright or lying to her. She gripped her phone for a long time before asking, "Are you really sure you want to be their bridesmaid?"

On the other end of the phone, Fu Zixin chuckled softly, "The wedding is tomorrow. It would be so unfair of me, as the bridesmaid, not to attend. I won't do that."

"If it really doesn't work out, I'll take your place," Yan Zuozuo said, not wanting to see Fu Zixin put in such a difficult position. If Fu Zixin changed her mind now, she would definitely support her to the end.

Fu Zixin remained silent for a while before laughing and scolding, "Yan Zuozuo, you mustn't lead me astray, I'm such a trustworthy person. I'm even planning to run for one of the Top Ten Outstanding People Who Moved China this year."

Yan Zuozuo chuckled, knowing that Fu Zixin had made up her mind, so she said no more.

Back home, she busied herself cooking. When Chi Moqing entered, dinner was already prepared, a nutritious meal that was easy on the stomach. Chi Moqing looked quite aggrieved. Yan Zuozuo giggled, "Who told you to disobey and drink alcohol? You brought it on yourself."

Chi Moqing washed his hands and, while eating, thought of tomorrow's wedding. "Do you want me to go with you?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I'm just worried that something might happen to Zixin, so I'm going to go and keep her company. We don't even know the two people getting married, why should I go?"

Chi Moqing nodded: "Call me if anything happens."

"Okay." Yan Zuozuo picked up some food for him and gave him a slight smile.

The next day, Yan Zuozuo took a day off and went to the wedding venue before the ceremony. She ran into Wang Kaijun, who gave her a faint smile, but Yan Zuozuo remained expressionless. She felt no regret whatsoever about hitting him at the restaurant last time.

“Ms. Yan, thank you for staying with Zixin these past few days. I’m an irresponsible man, and I hope you can guide her more in the future. I wish her to find her own happiness.” His words were full of guilt and worry, almost giving Yan Zuozuo the illusion that he loved Fu Zixin very much.

She turned her head away and said sarcastically, "You don't need to worry about that. I know what to do. A man like you doesn't deserve Zixin's attention." Her words were very impolite, and she was full of contempt for men like him.

Wang Kaijun nodded and walked outside. As he passed by, Yan Zuozuo said with a hint of threat, "Wang Kaijun, now that you're married, treat your wife well. If I find out you're still messing around with Zixin, I definitely won't let you off the hook!"

Wang Kaijun turned his head and looked at Yan Zuozuo seriously, a bitter smile flashing in his eyes, "Even for Zixin's happiness, I will not get entangled with her."

Yan Zuozuo sneered and left.

Wang Kaijun stood there, fists clenched tightly. He truly loved Fu Zixin; from their first meeting, he knew this woman was captivating. But because of Su Fei, he had always avoided her, afraid he would one day lose control. However, he underestimated Fu Zixin's allure and overestimated his self-control, ultimately committing an unforgivable mistake. If Su Fei hadn't become pregnant at this time, perhaps he would have truly disregarded everything and been with Fu Zixin…

Yan Zuozuo found Fu Zixin in the bridal room, where she was chatting and laughing with Su Fei. Yan Zuozuo felt uncomfortable seeing this and called her out. Fu Zixin saw her and smiled, "You're here."

Yan Zuozuo nodded. In just a few days, Fu Zixin had lost a lot of weight. Her already slender body was now even more emaciated, and Yan Zuozuo's eyes reddened with heartache.

Laughter emanated from the bridal chamber, a testament to the happiness of the wedding. Even Fu Zixin was smiling, but only Yan Zuozuo knew the bitterness in her heart.

Fu Zixin noticed Yan Zuozuo's worry and smiled at her, "I'm fine. Today is their big day, so don't cry here. Otherwise, people will think you have ulterior motives."

Yan Zuozuo smiled at her but didn't say anything.

The phone rang; it was Chi Moqing calling. His words of concern warmed Yan Zuozuo's heart.

"Are you alright?" Chi Moqing asked.

Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly: "It's alright, it's a wedding, it's lively everywhere."

"Is Fu Zixin alright?" He was concerned about Fu Zixin purely because of Yan Zuozuo. He knew that they had a good relationship, and if Fu Zixin was sad, his wife would be sad too. What he couldn't stand the most was Yan Zuozuo being sad.

"It's okay, once today is over, all of this will be over. Although I feel very down right now, I have a bright hope for the future." Yan Zuozuo stood by the window and took a deep breath.

"That's good. Remember to bring my innocent and adorable wife back. I don't want to see a red-eyed rabbit walk in; it'll ruin the mood for our lovemaking." Chi Moqing said with a wicked smile. Yan Zuozuo blushed instantly and muttered under her breath, "You scoundrel!"

Chi Moqing laughed heartily, saying he should call her after the wedding so he could come pick her up. Yan Zuozuo agreed, chatted for a few more minutes, and then hung up. She turned around, just about to speak to Fu Zixin, when she saw Su Fei come out in a beautiful wedding dress, calling her inside to get her makeup done.

Yan Zuozuo sighed and followed Su Fei inside to congratulate her. Watching the makeup artist working on Fu Zixin's face while she maintained a smile throughout, Yan Zuozuo felt extremely heartbroken.

My boyfriend got married, but I wasn't the bride. She had felt this way before, and now she felt an indescribable heartache.

What's the point of persisting when you meet the wrong person at the wrong time? Just like her and Qi Jiahui...

After finishing her makeup, Fu Zixin took the bracelet out of her bag and handed it to Su Fei with a smile, saying, "I don't have anything valuable to give you, only this bracelet. I hope you will accept it. I wish you both a long and happy marriage."

Sophie stared blankly as Fu Zixin put the bracelet on her wrist. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she reached out and hugged Fu Zixin, whispering, "Thank you, and I'm sorry."

Fu Zixin froze, looking at Su Fei in astonishment. Su Fei smiled slyly, "I like it very much, and I will cherish it forever."

Fu Zixin nodded, her expression somewhat embarrassed.
