Qi Jiahui wanted to go to a coffee shop, but Yan Zuozuo refused, saying, "Let's talk here. I'm worried about Zixin."

Since their breakup, Yan Zuozuo had been very cold towards him, which made Qi Jiahui both angry and helpless. He clenched his fist. "Then let's sit on that chair over there." He said, reaching out to take Yan Zuozuo's hand. But Yan Zuozuo dodged it. He was taken aback, a look of disappointment flashing across his face. He said self-deprecatingly, "I don't have any infectious diseases."

Yan Zuozuo glanced at him indifferently: "I'm not used to letting any man other than my husband touch me."

Her words struck Qi Jia Hui's heart like a hammer blow, as if something shattered. He lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he managed a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt."

Yan Zuozuo didn't reply, but stared at him intently for a while before saying in a low voice, "What, He Xinrui isn't satisfying you anymore, so you're already planning to replace her?"

"What?" Qi Jiahui was taken aback at first, then saw Cai Keren not far away, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face. "No, it's not what you think."

Yan Zuozuo sneered: "What do you mean?"

Qi Jiahui looked at her, pursed his lips, and said, "Yes, Cai Keren and I have been together for a while now, but I did all this for you. I..."

Yan Zuozuo looked at him with a faint smile, a smile that was both mocking and weary. She couldn't help but sigh, "Qi Jiahui, have you always been this shameless, or did you just become this shameless later? How can you push the blame onto me for doing such a despicable thing?"

“I’m not shirking responsibility, everything I said is true. Cai Keren can help me find out about the CEO’s situation. I just want to get into the CEO position as soon as possible. Then I can get rid of the He family and we can be together again.” He turned Yan Zuozuo’s shoulder and spoke excitedly.

Yan Zuozuo just looked at him coldly: "Even if you become the CEO, if He Cangyuan doesn't give you the shares, you're nothing but a puppet. Qi Jiahui, are you just too stupid, or do you think I'm so gullible?"

“That’s not how it works. As long as I marry He Xinrui, He Cangyuan will give me the shares. Once I become the CEO, I’ll have the entire Fan Hua Design under my control, and we’ll never have to worry about anyone sabotaging us again.” Qi Jiahui stared intently at Yan Zuozuo, as if he could see the joy of success.

Yan Zuozuo found it amusing, her face full of sarcasm. "No one broke us up; you were the one who gave up on our relationship first. But that doesn't matter anymore, because I can't stay with someone as despicable as you."

Faced with Yan Zuozuo's almost humiliating words, Qi Jiahui stiffened, his face contorting into a grimace. "Yan Zuozuo, I won't allow you to talk to me like that! I've done all this for you!"

Yan Zuozuo sneered: "You're doing this for yourself! I heard He Xinrui is pregnant, Qi Jiahui, let me give you a piece of advice: greed knows no bounds. You'd better watch yourself."

"I……"

"You don't need to say anything, and I don't want to hear it. What you do and how you leave is your own business. Please stop doing such heinous things under the guise of helping me, because it disgusts me." With that, she turned and left.

Qi Jiahui reached out to stop her, but Cai Keren walked over and wrapped her arm around his. "Are you done talking? Let's go. I've booked a room at the Hyatt. We can have some fun tonight." She spoke seductively, her eyes filled with alluring light.

"I'm not in the mood." Qi Jiahui glared angrily at Yan Zuozuo's back and forcefully shook her off.

Cai Keren chuckled softly: "You're not even listening to news from the old man anymore?"

Qi Jiahui stiffened for a moment, then quickly put on a lewd expression, grabbed Cai Keren, and said, "Just kidding, little vixen, just wait to be drained dry tonight." After saying that, his eyes lingered on Yan Zuozuo for a moment, then he left with Cai Keren in his arms.

Yan Zuozuo crossed the road and returned to Fu Zixin's side, only to find that Wang Kaijun had already left, while Fu Zixin remained calm. If it weren't for the bag she was clutching tightly, Yan Zuozuo might have been fooled.

"Zixin..." Yan Zuozuo called her, somewhat worried.

Fu Zixin nodded, her voice tense, "Let's go."

Neither of them spoke in the car. The driver asked where they were going. Yan Zuozuo glanced at Fu Zixin, momentarily lost in thought, and finally gave Fu Zixin's home address. It seemed they wouldn't be going to the mall today.

The driver dropped them off, and Yan Zuozuo asked him to wait a moment before going over to Fu Zixin with concern, asking, "Are you alright?"

Fu Zixin smiled, her hands unconsciously touching her lower abdomen. "I have someone to rely on now, how could it not be good?"

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips. Even though she knew she was lying, seeing that she didn't want to say more, she didn't press her further. She just hugged her and said, "Go back and get some rest. Call me if anything happens."

Fu Zixin nodded, just then her phone rang. It was Su Kang calling, "Where are you? Why aren't you back yet?"

Fu Zixin seemed completely unsurprised and said softly, "We're already downstairs."

Su Kang didn't say anything, but hurriedly ran downstairs, looking worried. Yan Zuozuo saw him, then looked at Fu Zixin, and finally smiled, "Then I'll go back first."

Fu Zixin didn't explain, she just nodded and told her to be careful on the road.

When Yan Zuozuo got home, she suddenly remembered Chi Moqing's instructions. A mischievous idea flashed through her mind. She sat at the entrance of the villa's garden, took out her phone, and was about to call Chi Moqing when her phone rang first.

She glanced at the caller ID and a slight smile played on her lips. They say that couples who live together for a long time start to look alike; she even wondered if being together for a long time could lead to a kind of telepathic connection.

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up." Clearly, President Chi's patience had run out; he missed his wife terribly after not seeing her for so long.

Yan Zuozuo smiled playfully: "It's so far, I'll go back by myself later."

"Tell me the address, and I'll be right there!" Chi Moqing's tone was domineering and left no room for refusal.

Yan Zuozuo laughed out loud, feeling a warm glow inside. Her dark, bright eyes were full of mischief. "Zhuangyan Road is at least a half-hour drive away, let's forget about it."

"The exact address!" Chi Moqing said firmly. Soon, Yan Zuozuo heard the sound of someone changing shoes and getting keys coming from inside. She chuckled and casually gave him an address. After hanging up, she leaned back against the chair by the door, waiting for him to come out.

The car arrived quickly. Yan Zuozuo smiled and, upon seeing Chi Moqing, raised her phone and dialed his number. "You're here so fast?"

Chi Moqing stopped the car, paused for a moment, then laughed. He got out, pulled her into his arms, pinched her nose hard, and said in a seemingly scolding yet affectionate tone, "You naughty girl, it's so late. Didn't we agree to pick you up? Why did you come back by yourself? You're so disobedient!"

"Didn't I ask you to pick me up?" Yan Zuozuo snuggled against him, saying mischievously, "I'm a good girl, aren't I?"

Chi Moqing, with a half-smile, took her hand and got into the car. He put the car back before heading home. He didn't know how Yan Zuozuo had found out, but as soon as she opened the door, she angrily accused him, "You haven't eaten yet?"

Chi Moqing chuckled: "Ready to eat."

Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes: "Nothing's been made, what's there to eat?" With that, she put down her bag and walked towards the kitchen.

Chi Moqing tried to stop them, but it was too late. The next second, he heard Yan Zuozuo's angry roar from the kitchen, "Chi Moqing, you're actually going to eat instant noodles!"

Chi Moqing touched his nose guiltily and smiled ingratiatingly, "I wasn't planning on eating..."

"You're not going to eat, yet you're making instant noodles? Are you kidding me?" Yan Zuozuo glared at him angrily, then dumped the noodles out of her mouth, muttering, "Are you a child? You won't even take care of yourself while I'm not home for a little while."

Chi Moqing walked over, hugged her petite body from behind, and rubbed against her. "I have no appetite when you're not home."

Yan Zuozuo snorted coldly: "Stop acting cute. Go wash your hands, I'll cook you noodles. If I ever catch you eating instant noodles again, see how I deal with you!"

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife." Chi Moqing obediently walked towards the bathroom, a smile playing on his lips.

Yan Zuozuo cooked the noodles and made the sauce. After rinsing the noodles in cold water, she poured the sauce over the noodles, set them on the table, and called him to come out and eat. While the noodle soup was still hot, she grabbed a handful of spinach, added it, cooked it, and put it in a bowl for him to eat. She had learned this from television; it was said to be very nutritious.

Chi Moqing ate and laughed at the same time, which annoyed Yan Zuozuo. This man was clearly doing it on purpose; a cunning and ruthless wolf!

Because he ate too quickly, Chi Moqing accidentally burned his mouth, sticking out his tongue in a way that was anything but elegant. Yan Zuozuo found it amusing and got up to pour him a glass of cool water, saying, "Eat slowly."

"My wife is so gentle," Chi Moqing said ingratiatingly, looking like a cunning old wolf wagging its tail.

"You're so glib!" Yan Zuozuo said, but she still couldn't help but ask with concern, "Why are you acting more and more like a child? Even after rinsing your mouth, you still get burned. Don't you know how to be careful?"

Chi Moqing smiled but remained silent, continuing to eat. Seeing him like this, Yan Zuozuo's anger vanished. His eyes, filled with tenderness, gazed at her. He was clearly a very good cook; whenever she was home, he always tried his best to prepare different delicious meals for her. But when she wasn't home, he just treated her like this—what a fool! Thinking this, she felt both heartache and anger; she wanted to scold him but couldn't bring herself to. He was truly a man she both loved and hated.

Chi Moqing picked up a piece of spinach for her: "Good girl, open your mouth."

Yan Zuozuo was both annoyed and amused. She opened her mouth and ate the spinach he brought her, saying, "Eat it yourself. I ate too much tonight."

Chi Moqing immediately put on a mournful expression: "I knew you disliked me."

Yan Zuozuo was speechless for a moment, then glared at him fiercely, "No cutesy acting allowed!"

Chi Moqing laughed heartily and quickly finished the bowl of noodles. She reached out to take away the bowl and chopsticks, but Chi Moqing stopped her, saying, "You go and rest, I'll do it."

Yan Zuozuo glared at him: "I'm really angry today. I'm going to wash the dishes to vent my anger. You stay out of here."

Chi Moqing understood her thoughts and was deeply moved. But he still put on a righteous expression, raised an eyebrow and said, "Who bullied my wife? I'll go beat him up."

"What do you think?" Yan Zuozuo glanced at the instant noodles in the trash can, her face serious. "Tell me who it was?"

Chi Moqing hesitated, "The instant noodles have already been thrown in the trash. Wouldn't it be inhumane to take them out and then beat them again?"

"Chi Moqing!" Yan Zuozuo gritted her teeth.

Chi Moqing laughed loudly: "Alright, alright, I know I was wrong, I promise I won't do it again. How about this, I'll go fill a tub with water for my dear wife and let you take a nice flower petal bath, okay?"

Yan Zuozuo snorted coldly and muttered under her breath, "In the end, didn't it just benefit someone else?" Ever since getting the doctor's permission, this man has become unrestrained again. Although it's only once a week, each time it lasts a very long time—it's just too much!

"Wife, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." Chi Moqing smiled mischievously and deliberately bit her ear.

Yan Zuozuo blushed, cursed the beast in her heart, and quickly pushed her away, deliberately looking displeased, "Aren't you going to relieve yourself?"

"Yes, ma'am!" Chi Moqing immediately headed to the bathroom, stealing a kiss before leaving.
