Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chi Moqing finally noticed something was wrong and hurriedly went over to ask, "What's wrong?"

Yan Zuozuo got up, avoiding his touch, but then felt she was being unreasonable. She couldn't tell if the earth was angry with him or with her, and finally said, "Don't eat, I'll cook you some noodles."

Chi Moqing grabbed her arm, puzzled, and stared at her intently. "Zuo Zuo, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Yan Zuozuo lowered her head and said sullenly, "It's nothing, I just ruined dinner tonight."

Chi Moqing was not going to be fooled. He turned her body around seriously and looked at her sternly. "Zuo Zuo, we said we would be honest with each other. You can ask me anything, and you can even get angry with me. But I won't allow you to keep everything bottled up inside. It won't help our marriage at all."

Yan Zuozuo was stunned, then sadly lowered her head. Even if Chi Moqing had liked her for many years, what did it matter? She didn't understand him at all. She didn't even know what he liked or disliked to eat. Compared to her, Cai Qingqing knew him much more. Thinking about all this made her feel terrible.

"You don't like spinach or cabbage, and you don't like corn either. You'll compromise yourself for others, but deep down you still don't like it. You like braised eggplant, steamed fish, celery and lily bulbs, and Mapo tofu..."

Chi Moqing was taken aback. Hearing the murmured words and seeing her dejected expression, his brows furrowed even more. "Who told you all this?"

Yan Zuozuo smiled bitterly: "I ran into Cai Qingqing at the supermarket, and now I realize that I don't know you at all, not even the simplest things like your preferences. We're husband and wife, but I'm not even as good as..." She paused, not wanting to continue.

Seeing her heartbroken expression, Chi Moqing suddenly chuckled, "Wife, are you jealous?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, then awkwardly turned her head away, "I didn't."

Chi Moqing laughed heartily, pulling her into his arms, finding Yan Zuozuo's jealousy utterly adorable. He smiled and said, "We haven't been married long, so it's normal that you don't know these things. Regardless of my relationship with Cai Qingqing, she's been by my side for many years, so it's understandable that she knows me. You don't need to compare yourself to her. Even if you know nothing about me, so what? The woman I love in my heart will always be you, and that will never change."

Hearing this, Yan Zuozuo felt much better, but she still felt very uncomfortable hearing about her husband's preferences from someone else. Especially since that person was Cai Qingqing; she felt like she was about to vomit.

Chi Moqing chuckled, took her hand and sat her back down in her seat. He looked at her earnestly and said, "I really don't like these dishes, but because you made them with so much effort, and they contain your care and affection for me, I'm willing to eat them even if I don't like them. It's not that I'm forcing myself, but that I feel very happy."

Yan Zuozuo listened to him blankly for a long time before giving him a coquettish glare and saying, "You're just good at saying nice things to coax me."

Chi Moqing smiled and shook his head: "I'm just telling the truth."

"Nobody would believe that." Yan Zuozuo snorted, and Chi Moqing pulled her onto his lap. He wrapped one arm around her waist and played with her fingers with the other. "Zuozuo, most people fall in love before getting married, but we got married first and then fell in love, so it's not your fault that you don't understand me. On the contrary, I think discovering each other's preferences gradually as we get to know each other is much more interesting than knowing each other beforehand. It's like treasure hunting; you can find a piece of gold every day. That's what makes life fun. Of course, if you want spoilers, you can ask me directly, and I'll tell you everything without reservation."

Yan Zuozuo looked at him, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "I'm so hungry, let's eat." Yan Zuozuo was about to suggest making it again when she heard Chi Moqing speak first, "Don't cook noodles, this is fine."

Yan Zuozuo blushed, bit her lip, and ate boiled vegetables with Chi Moqing. She guessed she would never forget the taste of it for the rest of her life.

The design director wanted her to submit the design drawings as soon as possible, because the competition to select three out of five was about to begin. In order to stand out from the competition, Yan Zuozuo worked overtime and stayed up all night, drinking one cup of coffee after another, which made Chi Moqing feel sorry for her.

After several nights like this, Yan Zuozuo finally finished the design and almost fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow. Chi Moqing asked her to take a day off, but she refused, saying, "I'll just get a good night's sleep on the weekend."

Chi Moqing had no choice but to let her rest for a while on the way to work. He even deliberately slowed down the car to delay her arrival time.

Yan Zuozuo was very grateful for his thoughtfulness, and waved to him with panda eyes, "I'm going up first."

Chi Moqing nodded. He wouldn't listen to anyone who told him to rest. He could only speed up the process of acquiring Fanhua Construction. He would decide when Yan Zuozuo would start work and what jobs she would take.

At lunchtime, just before she was about to leave work, a takeout delivery arrived, specifically for Yan Zuozuo. Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. She opened the food container and found four dishes and a soup: fish, shrimp, vegetables, and shellfish. Chi Moqing was going to prepare a seafood feast for her.

Her colleagues were drooling with envy, and Yan Zuozuo generously shared it with everyone.

When she arrived at work in the afternoon, the design director praised her design highly after reviewing it. "This design is simply superb! It combines current environmental protection concepts with a fashionable and innovative feel. Excellent!" Putting down the design, the design director looked at Yan Zuozuo with a smile. "I knew you wouldn't let me down. Don't worry, you'll definitely be selected this time."

Yan Zuozuo smiled modestly: "Thank you for this opportunity, Director. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

"Wait a minute." The design director called out to her, and said meaningfully, "I heard that Chi's is using a bidding process for this collaboration, and the date is set for the very beginning. What are your thoughts on that?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback: "I only know how to draw, I'm not very clear about other things."

Upon hearing this, the design director smiled and said, "You've been with our company for three or four years now, so you're very familiar with our capabilities. Regarding this bidding process, go back and sound out President Chi's opinion. I think our company is quite competitive."

Yan Zuozuo didn't know how to respond. She wasn't the type to use connections, and if the company truly had the capability, there was no reason why they wouldn't be able to secure the bid. But since the design director had spoken, she couldn't simply refuse outright; it was a real dilemma.

"Zuo Zuo, don't feel pressured. I was just testing President Chi's opinion. I didn't mean anything by it. We're all doing this for the company's good. You're the design department team leader now, so it's only right that you do something for the company, right?" The design director said tactfully.

Yan Zuozuo gave an awkward smile, exchanged a few polite words, and left. The design director noticed her reaction and knew that it was unlikely he could get any information from her. Yan Zuozuo was thoughtful, hardworking, and ambitious; her only flaw was her lack of tact and rigidity. Cai Keren, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. She was exceptionally skilled in social interaction, but lacked any talent for design—not because she was unwilling to learn, but because she simply didn't have the necessary brainpower. He sighed slightly; it seemed he would have to find another way.

When Yan Zuozuo got home from get off work, Chi Moqing was on the phone, seemingly talking about Lu Yaoyuan and Chi Ran. She didn't listen carefully, went back to her room to change her clothes, and came out after Chi Moqing had already hung up.

He went over and hugged her: "Did you submit the design draft?"

Yan Zuozuo sighed, nestled in his arms, and nodded.

Chi Moqing then asked, "What did they say?"

"The design director is very satisfied," she said softly. Chi Moqing stroked her long hair, enjoying the tranquility.

Yan Zuozuo thought for a moment, looked up at him, pouted and said, "The design director talked to me today about Chi's tender this time, and asked if I could find out some information."

Chi Moqing smiled and asked, "So what do you think?"

Yan Zuozuo slumped her shoulders, buried her head in his chest, and then shook her head. "I didn't say anything, and I don't plan to do anything. These things should be fair competition. I can't do anything like using connections."

Chi Moqing leaned down and kissed her: "The bidding process for Chi's Group was decided by the company's senior management. As for whether it should be fair competition, or whether or not to give it to Fanhua Construction, it all depends on this acquisition. If Chi's Group's acquisition of Fanhua Construction goes smoothly, since they are both their own companies, it doesn't matter if it's given to them or not; but if the acquisition process is slow, then it will be fair competition. Before the acquisition, I personally didn't have much of a good impression of Fanhua Construction."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zuozuo frowned, snorted, and said, "President Chi, you're very cunning."

Chi Moqing pinched her nose: "This isn't cunning, it's called business operation." Suddenly, he remembered that Lu Yaoyuan had called him, saying that the furniture had been moved in and they could move in anytime. So he said, "The villa is ready to move in anytime, when do you think we should move in?"

Yan Zuozuo tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Moving is tiring, let me rest for a while."

"I'll do whatever you say." Chi Moqing said affectionately, his hot lips kissing her cheeks repeatedly. "Wife, look how obedient I am, is there another reward for me tonight?" As he spoke, his hands began to wander on her back.

Yan Zuozuo glared at him coquettishly, her face flushing red uncontrollably. "Pervert."

Just as the two were playfully bickering, Yan Zuozuo's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID; it was Fu Zixin. She quickly answered.

"Zuo Zuo, I'm about to catch a plane and leave. I might not be back for a long time, so don't miss me too much." Fu Zixin's tone was relaxed, but Yan Zuo Zuo was stunned and suddenly raised her voice, "Today, now?"

"Yes, I'm already at the airport." I didn't tell her beforehand because I didn't want to see Yan Zuozuo looking reluctant to part.

Yan Zuozuo glanced at the time, grabbed her coat, and walked outside without even changing her clothes. "Fu Zixin, you're ruthless. You're leaving without even seeing me. What's wrong with you? Do you want to break off all ties with me?"

"Zuo Zuo, don't come. I don't want to cry with you. I want to start a new life, and I hope to begin with a smile," Fu Zixin said, her voice slightly choked with emotion.

"You won't let me miss seeing you one last time! You just wait, I'm coming right now!" Yan Zuozuo rushed out, and Chi Moqing followed behind her with the car keys in hand.

They entered the elevator, then exited and quickly ran to their car. On the other end of the phone, Fu Zixin said, trying to sound casual, "Zuo Zuo, thank you for being with me for ten years. From school to society, from girl to woman, thank you for your comfort and encouragement. Although we may not see each other for a long time, I will always cherish this friendship. I'll call you as soon as I arrive, and tell you everything, whether you're unhappy or happy. We won't grow apart because of distance. And you, call me if you miss me, don't forget me." As she spoke, she began to sob softly.

Yan Zuozuo's eyes reddened, and she roared angrily, "Fu Zixin, that's enough! I'm warning you, you're not allowed to leave until you see me one last time, you're not allowed to leave, do you hear me!"

Fu Zixin couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face. This city held not only the pain Wang Kaijun had brought her, but also the joy and warmth Yan Zuozuo had given her. Everything from the past ten years flashed through her mind, and she sobbed uncontrollably.

Tears welled up in Yan Zuozuo's eyes as she clenched her fists and shouted, "Fu Zixin, don't go! Don't leave me like this! You just wait, just you wait!"

Fu Zixin took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Goodbye, Zuo Zuo. Remember to be happy, including my share."
