Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 87 The Pregnant Woman is So Pitiful

When Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo came out of the room, Chi's mother had already prepared the meal. Seeing Chi Moqing carrying Yan Zuozuo downstairs, she teased, "Finally found a wife? Zuozuo, you don't know, as soon as Moqing got out of the car, he asked me where you were. He found you so fast that he could compete in an international competition."

Yan Zuozuo, looking embarrassed, pinched Chi Moqing's waist hard. Chi Moqing looked down at her without changing his expression and saw that her face was flushed red, as if she wanted to cry.

"So what? Can't I love my wife?" Chi Moqing said confidently, holding Yan Zuozuo in his arms, looking completely content with his wife.

"I didn't say no, I was just praising your relationship, you two are newlyweds, after all." After saying that, Mrs. Chi burst into laughter.

Yan Zuozuo wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, while Chi Moqing seemed completely unconcerned. He glanced outside and asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Someone was looking for him just now, he hasn't come back yet." Mrs. Chi checked the time. "But he should be back soon."

Yan Zuozuo went over to help Chi's mother set the table, but Chi Moqing was displeased. He glanced at Chi Ran, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and snorted, "Why don't you go and help?"

Chi Ran shrugged: "Why are so many people here just to set out bowls and chopsticks?"

"..." Chi Moqing's lips twitched. This girl was really spoiled.

Before long, Chi's father returned, and everyone prepared to eat. Chi Ran was back to her lively self, with a bright smile on her face, making Yan Zuozuo almost wonder if she had just had a dream at noon.

Dinner was the real celebration time, and Chi Moqing and his father had a few drinks. Chi's mother also poured wine for the women, saying that since it was a happy occasion, they should drink less. But when it was Yan Zuozuo's turn, Chi Moqing stopped her, saying, "Zuozuo can't drink."

"Why?" Chi Ran blinked. She remembered that Yan Zuozuo used to be able to drink a little.

Just as Chi Moqing was about to speak, her mother interrupted her, "You can't drink it. Your sister-in-law is planning to have a baby, and now is the time for her to recuperate." After saying that, she glanced at Chi Moqing again, "You should drink less too, it's not good for the baby in the future."

"It's Dad's birthday, I'm fine." Chi Moqing picked up his wine glass and drank another glass with his father.

Taking advantage of the moment, Chi Ran took out the birthday gift she had prepared, jumped behind her father, and said with a grin, "Dad, happy birthday! May you grow younger and younger, eat well every year, and be in great health."

Chi's father laughed heartily: "You little devil, if your father gets younger and younger, won't he become an old monster?"

"No, it's a spell to keep you young forever. I'll cast a spell on Mom later too."

The crowd roared with laughter.

Chi Moqing handed the health supplements she had bought to her father, saying, "Wishing you, Dad, boundless happiness and longevity. We didn't know what else to buy, so we bought a few more boxes of health supplements to continue the supply from last time."

"It's just a birthday celebration, why buy a gift?" Mr. Chi said with a kind smile.

"Hey! Bro, this is cheating! How can you give the same gift every time?" Chi Ran pouted in dissatisfaction.

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow and smiled, "That's still better than giving me a Chibi Maruko-chan or Crayon Shin-chan plush toy. I think you just like it and will take it back when you get the chance."

"Don't wrong me. My brother is the worst. He bullies his sister now that he has a wife." Chi Ran looked at her parents with a pitiful and innocent expression, as if she had been abandoned. "Mom and Dad, you have to stand up for me."

Chi's mother pinched her nose: "You're so old, why are you still acting like a child?"

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Chi Moqing squeezed Yan Zuozuo's hand, the two exchanged a glance, and finally Chi Moqing looked at Chi's parents and said gently, "Actually, Zuozuo and I have another gift to give to Mom and Dad."

"What gift?" Chi Ran asked curiously. Her mother was also very curious and chimed in, "Tell me quickly!"

Chi's father also looked puzzled, waiting for Chi Moqing to speak.

Chi Moqing smiled, tightened his grip on Yan Zuozuo's hand, and then slowly said, "Zuozuo is pregnant. We're having a baby. You're going to be grandparents."

The chopsticks in Chi's mother's hand fell onto the table with a clatter, and the dining table fell silent instantly. Everyone was first taken aback, and then they all looked at Yan Zuozuo's stomach, but there was no sound for a long time.

Finally, it was Mr. Chi who came to his senses first, asking in surprise, "Really? How many months pregnant?"

"It's been two months, and everything is normal." Chi Moqing smiled, his eyes brimming with undisguised pride.

"That's wonderful! I'm going to be a grandma!" Chi's mother said excitedly, turning to look at Chi Ran, "You're going to be an aunt."

It took Chi Ran a while to come to her senses, and the next second she almost jumped up excitedly, "I'm going to be an aunt! I'm going to be an aunt! Hahaha, I've finally been promoted to a higher generation, and I'm no longer the youngest one who gets bullied..."

Everyone felt ashamed; the focus seemed to have been misplaced.

"This year is truly a double celebration! Good, good, good, I've finally waited for this day!" Mother Chi couldn't contain her joy, but the next second she looked at Chi Moqing reproachfully, "Why didn't you say so sooner? You didn't even ask about something so important. Do you even know how to take care of a pregnant woman?"

"Mom, I'm fine. I just wanted to give everyone a surprise," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile.

"What a surprise! My daughter-in-law is really something, getting pregnant so soon after getting married." Mother Chi smiled broadly, and was about to urge Yan Zuozuo to eat more when she suddenly frowned. "Mo Qing, why didn't you say so earlier? These dishes aren't suitable for pregnant women. Zuozuo, what would you like to eat? I'll make you something else."

Yan Zuozuo quickly shook her head: "No, no, Mom, these are all fine, I like them all, really."

“This is no good at all. This is too cold, this is too spicy, and this is too salty… No, no, you are pregnant now and need to be taken good care of. I’ll go and redo it right away.” With that, Chi’s mother walked towards the kitchen.

Just as Yan Zuozuo was about to stop her, she heard Chi Moqing laugh and say, "Let Mom go, she's just too happy."

Mr. Chi was also happy, but unlike Mrs. Chi, he didn't show it out loud. He simply raised his wine glass and drank with Chi Moqing, laughing heartily, "Dad is happy today, let's have a few more drinks."

“Okay,” Chi Moqing said with a smile.

Yan Zuozuo watched as Chi's mother brought out several more dishes and placed them all in front of her. She smiled sweetly but helplessly, and could only force herself to eat more.

After the meal, both Chi's father and Chi Moqing were quite drunk. Chi's father had to be helped back to his room by Chi's mother. Although Chi Moqing wasn't quite as drunk, he was still unsteady on his feet and collapsed onto the bed as soon as he got back to his room, without even taking off his clothes.

Yan Zuozuo carefully helped him take off his clothes, then used a towel to wipe his body, and finally mischievously pinched his nose and said, "You've drunk too much again, you're such a naughty little boy... Ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Chi Moqing pulled her into his lap, making her fall into his arms. He looked at her with a half-smile, "Naughty!"

Yan Zuozuo nestled in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt completely at ease.

"Zuo Zuo." Chi Moqing's gentle voice rippled in her ear, and Yan Zuo Zuo nodded. "Hmm?"

"I'm very happy today." Chi Moqing's gentle voice was like a flowing stream, filled with unprecedented satisfaction.

“I’m very happy too,” Yan Zuozuo said.

Chi Moqing held her in his arms, his large, warm hands stroking her back repeatedly. "From the day I married you, I have felt very happy." He looked down at her, a beautiful smile on his lips.

Yan Zuozuo met his gaze and gently kissed his lips. "Being loved and protected by you is the greatest luck of my life."

Chi Moqing smiled and hugged her arm even tighter.

Yan Zuozuo had already said she wanted to come back and stay for a few days, and now that she had resigned and was pregnant, Chi's mother was even more determined to make her stay for a while. Chi Moqing considered that he was busy with work and didn't have time to spend with Yan Zuozuo, so he agreed.

Since becoming a grandmother, Mrs. Chi has been beaming with joy, telling everyone she meets about it. She doesn't let Yan Zuozuo eat at the same table with them, always cooking special meals for her separately, and preparing different dishes for her every day. She is very happy doing this, but Yan Zuozuo is in great pain.

Three meals a day is already quite good, but Chi's mother made her eat six meals a day, claiming it was for health reasons. Almost every meal was bland and tasteless. It had little oil, little salt, no MSG or chicken essence, and was practically no different from boiled water.

Yan Zuozuo wanted to cry, but she understood that this was Chi's mother's way of showing her love, so she could only finish her meals with a smile every day. She also had to strictly follow Chi's mother's rules and take a few laps around the courtyard every day to walk around, which was said to be helpful for having children in the future.

Yan Zuozuo's life consisted of only three words: eat, sleep, and grow. She felt she couldn't continue like this, so in her spare time, she picked up her pen again and started drawing. They were all designs for matching family outfits, and some were couple outfits. Chi Ran saw them and loved them, insisting that Yan Zuozuo design clothes for her.

Yan Zuozuo designed two outfits for her, and they became an instant hit. Everyone wanted to order clothes from Chi Ran, which earned Yan Zuozuo a considerable income during her pregnancy.

Although Chi's mother was very unhappy about making Yan Zuozuo tired, seeing that she was in such a good mood, she reluctantly agreed.

"Mom, I'm just drawing pictures with a pen. This way, I can use my brain. Maybe I'll be smart in the future," Yan Zuozuo said in a cute and obsequious manner.

Although Mrs. Chi felt it didn't make much sense, she complied, only stipulating that they had to rest at the designated time. Yan Zuozuo agreed and even designed two sets of matching elderly couple outfits for Mr. and Mrs. Chi. They looked good and composed, which delighted the elderly couple.

That day, Chi Ran rushed home and excitedly grabbed Yan Zuozuo, saying, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let me tell you, you're going to make a lot of money! I don't care, starting today I'm going to be your agent, and I'll only take 30% of the profits."

Yan Zuozuo was completely confused: "Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

It turns out that Chi Ran showed Yan Zuozuo's design sketches to Lu Zhitu, who immediately liked them and decided to start producing clothing based on Yan Zuozuo's designs. Unexpectedly, even before the clothes were released, they gained a large following just from the initial promotion. Therefore, Lu Zhitu decided to talk to Yan Zuozuo and create a brand specifically for her, inviting her to join his company.

Chi Ran was naturally delighted; this was a shortcut for her to get closer to Lu Zhitu, and she readily agreed. Moreover, becoming Yan Zuozuo's manager would allow her to spend more time with Lu Zhitu.

Yan Zuozuo showed no sign of happiness after hearing this. She lowered her eyes slightly, ultimately waiting for Chi Moqing to acquire Fan Hua Design so she could go back to work. If she signed with Lu Zhitu, she would have no chance of returning.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Don't you want to agree?" Chi Ran asked cautiously. She belatedly realized that she might have been too happy too soon. This was all wishful thinking on her part, and she hadn't even asked Yan Zuozuo yet.

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "Chi Ran, I'm sorry, I can't sign the contract."

Chi Ran stiffened, and couldn't help but ask in disappointment, "Why?"
