Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door
Chapter 65 Locked in the Warehouse
“Uncle Cai, I’ve already said I won’t go. If she doesn’t even know how to respect herself, what’s the point of me going? Even if I go this time, what about next time, and the time after that? I’m a married man. When it comes to matters of the heart, my first priority should be to respect my wife. I have no obligation to other women, and I certainly won’t get entangled with them.”
"Mo Qing, I know this request is difficult for you, but Qingqing won't eat a single thing. She's my only daughter, so please, I'm begging you." No matter how willful Cai Qingqing is, she's still his own daughter. He was almost scared to death by her last attempt to jump off the building, so how could he not feel heartbroken seeing her lying on the bed, pale and refusing to eat or drink?
“Uncle Cai, I’m sorry, but in my eyes, Qingqing is just your daughter. We have no further contact. It’s impossible for me to visit her. If something really happens to her because of this, I can only express my regret.” Chi Moqing resolutely refused. “If Zuozuo were your daughter today, would you also want me to care for other women behind her back? I’ve said all I need to say. I hope Uncle Cai won’t call me again about this issue. No matter how many times you call, my answer will remain the same.” After saying that, he hung up the phone, took a deep breath by the window, and then walked towards the bedroom.
Yan Zuozuo had just finished showering when he walked up to her and dried her hair. Her face was rosy and her eyes were bright and sparkling; she looked very pretty.
After drying her hair, he hugged her from behind, staring at her reflection in the mirror with a slight smile. He couldn't explain why, but just holding her like this made him feel content.
Yan Zuozuo smiled at the man in the mirror: "Have you looked enough? Go take a shower."
"My wife is so beautiful, I can never get enough of looking at her." Chi Moqing kissed her neck, then got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Yan Zuozuo raised her hand and touched her neck, chuckling softly.
When Chi Moqing came out of the shower, Yan Zuozuo was lying on the bed watching TV, occasionally laughing. Chi Moqing went over and hugged her, "What's so funny?"
"It's a comedy, look... hahaha..." Yan Zuozuo laughed so hard she almost fell over, but Chi Moqing's mind was completely elsewhere. His burning gaze was fixed on the little girl beside him. He blew hot air on her, rolled over and pinned her down, his large, unruly hands roaming freely over her, igniting fire everywhere.
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, and grabbed his large hand uneasily, "What are you doing?"
Chi Moqing chuckled and gave her a light, fleeting kiss. "Asking for payment, huh? Don't you know information fees are expensive these days?" His kisses continued downwards, his voice filled with seductive allure. "Besides, Mom wants a grandson."
Yan Zuozuo wriggled under him, saying, "We agreed to let things take their course, and I just... rested yesterday. I'm so sleepy, don't bully me..." As she spoke, she deliberately yawned to show that she was really tired.
"It's okay, you sleep yours, I'll do mine, we won't bother each other." Chi Moqing was getting more and more outrageous.
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes. With him doing this and that, how could she possibly sleep? She pushed him, but before she could utter a word of protest, Chi Moqing swallowed it all.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. She was just about to get up and get ready when she realized she felt weak all over and didn't even have the strength to walk. Yan Zuozuo immediately panicked and cursed someone in her heart in frustration.
"Ah! Chi Moqing!" Yan Zuozuo finally reached the bathroom with difficulty, but when she looked in the mirror, she gasped sharply and almost fainted. Was it really that bad? Her neck and chest were covered in red marks, vividly and glaringly showing the unprecedented spectacle of the previous night. "Awooo!" Yan Zuozuo roared in fury, immediately denouncing the man.
Chi Moqing rushed over upon hearing the noise, still wearing the apron he used for making breakfast. Thinking something had happened to her, he quickly turned off the stove and came in. Yan Zuozuo wasn't wearing any clothes, and her slender figure was starkly displayed before his eyes, causing him to swallow hard.
Did I not satisfy her well last night? My wife is demanding more "exercise" this morning. But I have to go to work. I'm so conflicted.
Yan Zuozuo stared intently at the man who was daydreaming, then angrily pointed to her neck, "It's summer now, tell me, how am I supposed to go out?"
Chi Moqing was taken aback. He had just mentally prepared himself to skip work today and stay home to try and conceive. But instead of romance, he looked up to meet Yan Zuozuo's accusing eyes. He scratched his head, staring at his handiwork from the previous night, coughed twice, and gave an awkward laugh. "We're all adults... you know, people will understand. Marriage... it's inevitable that things like this will happen..."
Yan Zuozuo gritted her teeth. Was she really going to wear a scarf to work? It was clearly a case of protesting too much.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Chi Moqing glanced at the time, touched his nose, and said, "Wife, if you want to take a shower, hurry up, or we'll be late."
Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment, then pushed him out and slammed the bathroom door shut, grinding her teeth.
In the trio, besides Yan Zuozuo, the other two were Mu Yaoqian and Cui Guangyuan. After discussing one aspect, Mu Yaoqian looked at Yan Zuozuo with a half-smile, "It's thirty-four degrees today, Yan Zuozuo, aren't you hot wearing a scarf?"
Yan Zuozuo blushed immediately, awkwardly fidgeting with her scarf. After a while, she said embarrassedly, "I had a stiff neck last night, so I'm wearing a scarf to keep warm."
Everyone noticed that her neck was fine and she could move it freely, and they instantly understood, unable to suppress a low chuckle. Yan Zuozuo's face burned fiercely; she wished she could go back and tear Chi Moqing to pieces.
At noon, everyone went to eat. Yan Zuozuo decided to go to the warehouse to choose fabric first, and then go eat later. She was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice the sneaky figure outside.
The warehouse is divided into two rooms, an inner and an outer one. The inner room contains high-end fabrics, and only specific personnel are allowed to enter. The outer room contains ordinary fabrics, which are generally accessible to designers after registration. Because Yan Zuozuo is an important designer in the company, she was allowed to enter the inner room.
The warehouse manager saw her and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Yan, aren't you going to lunch? You're still working at noon?"
Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "I'll choose the fabric first, then I'll go eat." After a pause, she said, "You go eat, don't worry about me. Once I've chosen the fabric, I'll register it with you, and I'll lock the door."
The warehouse manager glanced at the time: "Okay, be careful too."
Yan Zuozuo watched the administrator leave before going inside. It was over an hour later when she finally chose her fabric and was about to leave. She stretched and walked outside with the fabric in her hand.
Huh? She pulled hard on the doorknob, but no matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't open it. Just as she was filled with terror, the power went out in the warehouse for some unknown reason, plunging the huge warehouse into darkness.
Yan Zuozuo was terrified and pounded on the door, shouting, "Is anyone there? Is anyone outside? Open the door..."
She called out for a while but received no response. Reaching for her phone, she realized she had left it on her seat. Because the inner storage room had no windows and was essentially completely enclosed, there was no other way out except to knock on the door.
"Open the door! I'm inside... Is anyone there? Open the door..." She could only shout as loudly as she could, but there was still no sound from outside.
Normally, the inner warehouse is ventilated by an exhaust fan and a small window at the top. Now that the exhaust fan is out of power, the ventilation is obviously poor due to the small window, and Yan Zuozuo feels that it is becoming increasingly difficult to breathe.
"Is anyone there? Help... I'm in there..." Her chest tightened, and soon she had no strength left. She clutched her chest tightly; was she going to die in there?
With her last bit of strength, she kept knocking on the door, her consciousness growing increasingly blurred. "Help! Someone help me... Mo Qing, my husband..." she murmured with difficulty before quickly passing out.
Two hours later, the person watching the warehouse returned. He glanced at the locked door, assuming that Yan Zuozuo had locked it before leaving, and did not open it to check. He picked up the logbook to see which fabrics she had taken, so that he could keep track of them later.
However, nothing was recorded on it except for the time she entered; there was no record of when she left.
The warehouse manager was startled, and inexplicably sensed an unease. He quickly went to check the warehouse. The moment he opened the door, Yan Zuozuo's body fell to the ground with a thud.
When Yan Zuozuo woke up, she was already in the hospital. Chi Moqing frowned, looking at her with concern. She slowly opened her eyes, feeling a sharp pain in her head. "Moqing..."
Upon hearing her voice, Chi Moqing looked over in surprise, and the next second he hugged her tightly, finally putting his mind at ease.
Yan Zuozuo was bewildered. She reached out to push him, but noticed he was trembling violently, as if he were terrified. "Chi...Chi Moqing..."
Her throat hurt, it felt like it was burning, and her mind was a mess. She looked around at the white walls, confused, and couldn't figure out how she ended up in the hospital.
Chi Moqing held her for a long time until the fear gradually subsided before letting go. He received a call at noon saying that Yan Zuozuo had fainted and been hospitalized, which terrified him. A wave of fear of losing her instantly washed over him, and he rushed to the hospital like a madman. His assistant, worried about him, insisted on driving him there. Otherwise, he might have actually been in a car accident on the way.
When he arrived at the hospital and saw her lying on the bed, barely alive, he was on the verge of collapse. Although the doctor repeatedly assured him that Yan Zuozuo's condition was only due to temporary oxygen deprivation, he was still worried and stayed by her side, afraid that she wouldn't wake up.
"I'm fine, don't worry," Yan Zuozuo said in a hoarse voice, gently patting his back.
Chi Moqing nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He poured her a glass of water, carefully fed it to her, and said with a serious expression, "How did you end up locked in the warehouse?"
Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment before she remembered what happened at noon. She slowly shook her head, "I don't know either. I was choosing fabrics at the time, and when I wanted to go out, the door was locked from the outside."
So someone deliberately wanted to harm her?
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
He called and found out that the surveillance cameras were turned off when Yan Zuozuo was in the incident, indicating that the perpetrator had planned it all along and wanted her dead. This sent a chill down his spine. If the warehouse manager hadn't checked the warehouse in time, he couldn't even imagine whether Yan Zuozuo would still be alive and standing in front of him.
Suddenly, he hugged her tightly, his voice trembling as he said, "Don't leave me."
Yan Zuozuo knew he was terrified, so she hugged him tightly and whispered, "No, I'm fine. Look, I'm really okay."
The doctor examined Yan Zuozuo and found nothing seriously wrong, simply advising her to rest more at home. After confirming this several times, Chi Moqing finally took Yan Zuozuo home.
Yan Zuozuo escaped unscathed, her heart filled with indescribable complex emotions—both relief and anger. She had only thought that the disagreements between her colleagues at the company were minor squabbles, never imagining that someone would actually try to kill her, which made her hair stand on end.
Chi Moqing brought the porridge out of the kitchen, his eyes growing increasingly dark as he looked at Yan Zuozuo's frightened expression. He wouldn't show any mercy to anyone who tried to harm his wife!
Yan Zuozuo put down the porridge in her hand, looked up and met his gloomy face. She reached out and touched his face, and said with a faint smile, "Don't be so serious. I survived a great ordeal. Cheer up."
Chi Moqing held her hand and smiled indulgently: "I've already spoken to your CEO. You can rest at home for the next few days. I've reported this to the police, and they'll get to the bottom of it."
Yan Zuozuo nodded. After finishing her porridge, she was about to wash the dishes when Chi Moqing took them from her. "You rest, I'll wash them."
Yan Zuozuo sat on the sofa, her mind filled with thoughts of who would do such a thing. If the warehouse manager hadn't discovered her, she would likely have suffocated inside for a day and a night; it was clearly a deliberate attempt to kill her.
Cai Keren's face flashed through her mind. They had never gotten along, but did she really wish her dead? She bit her lip, feeling more fear than confusion.
