Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Yan Zuozuo smiled, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart upon hearing Chi Moqing's words. She served him the soup she had prepared and said cheerfully, "From now on, I'll be relying on you to support me."

Chi Moqing reached out and pinched her cheek: "It's my pleasure."

"You're such a chatterbox." Yan Zuozuo said with a smile.

After dinner, Chi Moqing went to his study to work. He took out his phone and dialed his assistant's number, asking about the progress of the acquisition of Fan Hua Design. He didn't hear what the assistant said, but heard a cold voice say, "I don't care what your reasons are, get it done within three months!"

After hanging up, he narrowed his cold eyes. He Cangyuan's audacity was growing; he actually dared to scheme against his people. While the CEO was nominally in charge of Fan Hua Design, He Cangyuan was the true major shareholder. If it weren't for his behind-the-scenes machinations, those people at Fan Hua Design probably wouldn't have dared to touch Yan Zuozuo. Did He Cangyuan really think he wouldn't touch him just because he was Yan Zuozuo's biological father? How laughable!

Yan Zuozuo brewed some tea and went inside. Seeing his gloomy expression, she went behind him and massaged him. Feeling his stiff muscles, she said with concern, "Don't work too late."

Chi Moqing pulled her onto his lap, buried his head in her long hair, took a deep breath, and looked exhausted.

Yan Zuozuo reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, asking softly, "What's wrong?"

Chi Moqing shook his head, his voice muffled, "It's nothing, I'm probably just too tired lately."

"Then get some rest. It's not too late to see him tomorrow." Yan Zuozuo stroked his hair tenderly. Lately, he had been going to bed after midnight, or even one or two in the morning, which worried her a lot.

"I'm fine, let me hold you for a while." Chi Moqing held her tightly, his voice deep.

Yan Zuozuo combed his hair repeatedly, paused, and said, "Let me massage your head, then you can work later." With that, she took his hand and led him to the bedroom, where she laid him on the bed and massaged him.

Chi Moqing looked at her with deep affection and whispered, "It's so good to have you."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Close your eyes and rest. I'll wake you up in a bit."

Chi Moqing slowly closed his eyes, probably because he was really too tired, and soon fell asleep. Yan Zuozuo gently massaged his head for about half an hour, then pulled the blanket over him and set an alarm to wake him up.

She lay down beside him, lowered her head and kissed his lips, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Half an hour later, the alarm clock rang. Chi Moqing opened his eyes, glanced at the time, and then smiled, feeling a warm glow inside. He quietly got up and walked towards the study, with Yan Zuozuo's worried words behind him, "Go to sleep early if you're tired."

"Did I wake you up?" Chi Moqing turned around and smiled.

Yan Zuozuo shook her head and got out of bed. "Don't overwork yourself. It will break my heart."

"I understand." Chi Moqing hugged her and kissed her before going into the study.

Yan Zuozuo couldn't sleep. Sitting on the bed, she frowned as she recalled seeing Su Kang at the supermarket. Fu Zixin probably didn't know about Su Kang and Su Fei's relationship; otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten so close to Su Kang. She thought for a moment and decided she should tell her, so that Fu Zixin could be prepared if Su Kang really had ill intentions.

Yan Zuozuo was a little worried when she called Fu Zixin yesterday, but she didn't answer. She picked up her phone and called her again, but the call went through and no one answered. She called five or six times in a row, but the other party still didn't answer.

In the end, all she could do was text her, hoping she would call back if she saw it. Unlike when they were together, the distance between them was too great, and worrying wouldn't help.

However, Yan Zuozuo didn't receive Fu Zixin's call back until two days later. She was watching a TV series, crying her eyes out, and had almost used up half of the tissues beside her. Her phone rang, but her eyes were still on the TV. Clutching the tissues, she answered the phone while still crying, "Hello?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Yan Zuozuo frowned. "Speak up, who are you?" she said, wiping her nose. It was so heartbreaking. The male lead felt so sad and upset that the female lead was being bullied like this.

Hearing Yan Zuozuo's voice on the other end of the phone, as if she had suffered a great injustice, I immediately became worried, "Zuozuo, are you crying?"

Yan Zuozuo froze, abruptly pulled her phone away, and saw the three big characters "Fu Zixin" on the screen. Her anger flared up instantly, and she shouted into the microphone, "Fu Zixin, you're still alive!"

Compared to her previous sobbing, her voice suddenly became much stronger, making Fu Zixin unsure. "Zuo Zuo, weren't you just crying? How did you turn into a fire-breathing dragon in the blink of an eye?"

Yan Zuozuo grabbed a tissue, wiped her tears and nose, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm watching TV, I can't cry!"

After a long while, Fu Zixin's mocking laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Yan Zuozuo, after all these years, you're still so useless. The TV is all fake, fake, you idiot."

Yan Zuozuo's face darkened. Of course she knew it was fake, but she just couldn't help feeling sad. She pursed her lips, then remembered the topic she hadn't finished talking about, and continued to roar, "Don't try to change the subject! Where have you been these past two days? You haven't answered my calls or replied to my texts. Tell me, what have you been busy with?"

Fu Zixin was silent for a while before saying in a low voice, "Zuo Zuo, I'm back. Let's meet up."

Yan Zuozuo's hand holding the phone froze for a moment, and it took her a while to react before she asked uncertainly, "You just said... you're back?"

"Okay, I'll still be waiting for you at the usual place," Fu Zixin said calmly.

Yan Zuozuo didn't say much, hung up the phone, grabbed her bag, and went out. She stood on the road waiting for a car, but couldn't flag one down for a long time. She suddenly regretted not getting a driver's license. There was still a car that Chi Moqing had left in the garage. If she knew how to drive, she wouldn't have trouble getting a taxi when she was in a hurry.

In the coffee shop, Fu Zixin sat in their usual spot, right next to the glass, with a panoramic view of the scenery outside. Seeing Yan Zuozuo approach, she smiled at her.

Because it wasn't the weekend, there were very few people here, with only a few scattered seats. Yan Zuozuo hurried over and was stunned when she saw Fu Zixin's short hair. She hadn't seen her for a month, and she was not only darker but also very thin, looking like a piece of paper, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

She frowned, but before she could speak, a waiter came over to ask what she wanted. She ordered a coffee and a pastry. As soon as the waiter left, she angrily slammed her bag on the seat and yelled, "What have you been doing for the past month? You've made yourself look like a ghost, and you even cut your hair?"

Fu Zixin chuckled and reached out to touch her neat short hair. "Don't you think this hairstyle suits me better?"

Yan Zuozuo gritted her teeth, wishing she could pounce on her and bite her to death. "Suitable my ass! How can you not take care of yourself at all? Look at you now, you're just skin and bones. What are you doing!" She was furious and felt sorry for her friend.

"Calm down, calm down. We haven't seen each other for so long, can't you be a little gentler?" Fu Zixin chuckled, not wanting to be scolded by her friend as soon as they met.

Yan Zuozuo glared at her, annoyed. It had only been a month, and she'd already tormented herself like this; it truly pained her. Despite her annoyance, she still asked with concern, "Is the work finished?"

Fu Zixin shook her head, took a sip of coffee, and said calmly, "I resigned, and another colleague will take my place."

Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened: "What's going on?"

Fu Zixin lowered her eyes and paused for a long time before saying, "Su Kang called me yesterday."

Yan Zuozuo narrowed her eyes, feeling that it must be related to yesterday's events. She pursed her lips, remaining silent, waiting for Fu Zixin to confess.

“Actually, I submitted my resignation a few days ago. I came back as soon as my replacement arrived.” Fu Zixin smiled and, seeing Yan Zuozuo’s impending outburst, explained, “Don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to keep it from you. I just wanted to be alone and think carefully about what to do next. I used to rely on you for everything. You protected me so well that I didn’t even have the courage to face heartbreak. But this trip to Africa made me think a lot. I can’t keep relying on you anymore. I should learn to grow up on my own.”

Yan Zuozuo frowned, feeling that Fu Zixin was hiding something. She knew her too well; if nothing had happened, she would never have resigned, especially not when she was still heartbroken.

"Tell me, what happened?" Yan Zuozuo asked directly.

Fu Zixin stared at her intently for a long time before finally saying, "I'm pregnant."

Yan Zuozuo froze, her eyes wide with disbelief. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask who it was, but couldn't utter a sound.

Fu Zixin gave a bitter smile, her grip on the glass tightened, and she finally whispered, "I got drunk that night, with Su Kang..."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, not expecting this. But then she remembered Su Kang and Su Fei's relationship, and a struggle flashed in her eyes. The thing she had so confidently wanted to tell her friend suddenly made her hesitate.

Fu Zixin looked up at her: "I know everything, about Su Kang and Su Fei."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, then heard her continue, "I'm fine, really. Actually, I guessed it a long time ago. Su Kang and Su Fei, I even met Su Kang at Su Fei's wedding, how could they not be together?" It's just that Su Kang lied to her back then.

“Zixin…” Yan Zuozuo felt sad. She suddenly felt that God was really unfair to Zixin. How could He let her have such a bumpy road in love? This time it even “caused a death.”

"Zuo Zuo, I'm really okay." She turned to look out the window. The weather had turned gloomy and oppressive, like a stone weighing on their chests. "Lately, I've been thinking a lot about karma. I was too selfish before, recklessly getting between Wang Kaijun and Su Fei, even selfishly thinking that Wang Kaijun would give up Su Fei for me. But the result is obvious... I'm the one who was abandoned." As she spoke, Fu Zixin chuckled softly. "Now the karma has come. I'm actually pregnant with Su Fei's brother's child, and his purpose in approaching me was actually for Su Fei. People really shouldn't do bad things; God is watching, and sooner or later there will be a day of retribution."

“That’s not how it is. You’ve already paid back what you owed. Su Kang told me that he approached you not just for Su Fei, but because he’s always had feelings for you.” Yan Zuozuo reached out and held her hand tightly, speaking urgently.

Actually, she wasn't sure what to do either. Did she want Fu Zixin to be with Su Kang, or did she want her to leave that man? If she could, she truly wished time could turn back, so Fu Zixin would never have met Wang Kaijun, thus avoiding all the subsequent harm.

Fu Zixin shook her head, a bitter smile on her lips. "In the end, it's still because of Su Fei. Zuo Zuo, I've already been hurt by an imperfect relationship. This time, I don't want to compromise with anyone again. Even if the baby doesn't have a father, I can still take good care of him."

"You plan to have this child?" Yan Zuozuo frowned as she looked at her.
