Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door
Chapter 94 Uneasy
Yan Zuozuo came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, made a cup of tea for Chi Moqing and was about to take it to the study when she heard Chi Moqing talking on the phone inside.
"I understand, the tax bureau has already come to investigate... Hmm, people above are starting to take action too... I'm fine, don't worry... Okay, then I'll trouble you..." Chi Moqing's voice was low and deep, his tall figure appearing particularly serious and lonely in the dim light. Because his back was to the door, Yan Zuozuo couldn't see his expression.
After Chi Moqing hung up, she brought in the tea, wanting to ask him what happened, but she didn't know how to start.
Chi Moqing smiled as he took the water and hugged her. "What's wrong? Are you still angry with me?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head, her arms tightly wrapped around his lean waist. She looked up at him, "You said someone's investigating taxes, and there's been some action from above, is that right..." Hearing his voice on the phone, she felt a pang of panic. She unconsciously thought of Cai Qingqing's threats, and her emotions surged. "The Cai family is really starting to frame you, isn't they? What should we do? They're so cunning, could something really happen..."
"Zuo Zuo." Chi Moqing gestured for her to calm down, looking steadily at her. "All these years I have been law-abiding and law-abiding. I have neither evaded taxes nor accepted bribes. They won't find anything. Trust me, okay?"
Chi Moqing seemed to have a calming power, and Yan Zuozuo's emotions gradually eased, but she still said with concern, "What if they frame me?"
Chi Moqing chuckled and reached out to touch her face: "Since it's a frame-up, it proves I'm innocent. What's there to be afraid of?"
Yan Zuozuo bit her lip. Although she said that, she still felt uneasy. Just because she was innocent didn't mean she would be safe. She sat listlessly on the recliner in the study, her mind racing with thoughts. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, but she had been sleeping more and more lately. In the dim light of the study, she felt sleepy as she thought and soon drifted off to sleep.
Chi Moqing smiled, carefully placed her on the bed in the study, and pulled the blanket over her. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead affectionately, his face full of tenderness and affection.
He lay with her for a while, and only after seeing that she was fast asleep did he prepare to get up and continue working. But Yan Zuozuo snuggled closer to him, hummed a few words, and then fell asleep again.
Chi Moqing smiled and shook his head, unable to resist reaching out to touch her face, and whispered, "Goodnight, my two little darlings."
However, when he was about to get up again, he found that Yan Zuozuo had grabbed his clothes at some point, her brows furrowed tightly, as if she was worried that he might run away at any moment.
Chi Moqing was embarrassed. He wanted to pry her hands off, but he was worried about waking her, so he could only carefully pull them away little by little. However, Yan Zuozuo held on very tightly, which made him both amused and annoyed. He could only coax her in a low voice, "Wife, please let go of me, okay? Your husband still needs to earn money for baby formula."
As if she hadn't heard him, Yan Zuozuo rolled over, hugged his arm tightly, and fell back into a deep sleep, humming softly, "Mo Qing, don't go..."
If he could, Chi Moqing wouldn't want to leave either, but he still had work to finish. Faced with both internal and external troubles, he had no choice but to work overtime. By the moonlight streaming through the window, he gently stroked her back, knowing he could only try to coax her to sleep before sneaking away.
"Mo Qing, Mo Qing... let him go... don't go..." Yan Zuozuo screamed as if she were having a nightmare.
"Zuo Zuo, Zuo Zuo?" Chi Moqing called her softly, patting her back to comfort her, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
As if hearing his voice, Yan Zuozuo gradually calmed down, moved closer to him, and tightened her grip on his arm. Chi Moqing's arm was numb, but to put her at ease, he let her hold him like that.
"Mo Qing, don't go, let him go... Mo Qing, don't let anything happen to you, baby... Mo Qing, come back..." Yan Zuozuo held his arm tighter and tighter, tears welling up in her eyes.
Chi Moqing stiffened, unable to describe the pain in his heart. After a long while, he hugged her tightly and said softly, "I'll be alright. I'll protect you and the baby. Go to sleep."
Yan Zuozuo snuggled against his arm and drifted off to sleep again. Chi Moqing gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his gaze filled with conflict. Had he been too lenient, causing his wife to be so restless even in her sleep?
Perhaps it's time for him to retaliate.
The next morning at dawn, Yan Zuozuo woke up. She reached out to look for Chi Moqing, but he was nowhere to be seen. She suddenly opened her eyes, blinked, and was momentarily bewildered. She still felt lingering fear when she recalled the nightmare from the previous night. In the dream, Chi Moqing was arrested for tax evasion and bribery, and the authorities didn't even give them a chance to explain before locking him up.
Even though she knew it was just a nightmare, she was still terrified. Suddenly, she jumped out of bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and ran frantically out of the bedroom.
Chi Moqing had prepared breakfast and was about to call her to eat when she suddenly rushed over, her small body trembling as she hugged him tightly, eagerly kissing his lips as if to confirm that he was really by her side.
Faced with such a passionate good morning kiss, Chi Moqing naturally liked it, but he preferred to take the initiative. So the next second, he turned the tables and swallowed his sweet and delicious little wife whole.
After their passionate encounter, Yan Zuozuo lay in Chi Moqing's arms, her little face rubbing against his strong, well-defined muscles, her restless little hands stroking him again and again.
Chi Moqing chuckled softly, "Wife, if you don't stop, I'm going to do it again."
Yan Zuozuo recoiled as if burned, immediately pulling her hand back, her face flushed red, and glared at him fiercely, "You pervert!"
Chi Moqing laughed even louder, hugging her tightly, finding his wife even more adorable. He kissed her forehead and said, "Are you hungry? I'll bring you breakfast."
"No, I want to go downstairs and eat with you." Her voice was soft and sweet, and she couldn't help but reach out and hug him again.
Chi Moqing looked down at her delicate face, his heart softening. He kissed her again and said, "Then I'll carry you to wash up."
Before Yan Zuozuo could refuse, Chi Moqing carried her into the bathroom. She muttered, "Are you trying to spoil me rotten?"
"You're my wife, if I don't spoil you, who will?" Chi Moqing burst out laughing.
Yan Zuozuo thought that Chi Moqing must have eaten too much candy as a child and drunk honey water as an adult, otherwise he wouldn't be so good at sweet talk. His skills were superb; even if it was sickeningly sweet, it wouldn't make people feel disgusted.
She glanced at his handsome reflection in the mirror, her face flushed with shyness.
After washing up, before they could even have breakfast, Chi Moqing received a call saying there was a meeting. He frowned and looked apologetically at Yan Zuozuo, "You'll have to eat alone. I have to go back to the company. I'll have Wang Ma come over to cook lunch. Eat well, don't go hungry."
Although Yan Zuozuo was disappointed, she still nodded and gave him a coquettish look, "I'm not someone else. I can't do something like starving myself and abusing myself."
Chi Moqing chuckled softly. It turned out his wife was a little petty. He affectionately patted her head, then suddenly knelt down and tenderly kissed her lower abdomen, whispering, "Baby, be a good girl at home and listen to Mommy, okay?"
Yan Zuozuo smiled, but remembering last night's nightmare, her face fell again. She was silent for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Really, nothing will happen, right?"
Chi Moqing looked up. He knew she was just overly worried, and he patiently told her again and again, "It's really nothing, I promise."
He really liked this feeling, that someone cared about him all the time. It wasn't the kind of feeling he got from his parents, but it was a warm and happy feeling that he was intoxicated by.
Yan Zuozuo smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't trust you, I just..."
"I know, stay home and don't overthink things. I promise you, nothing will happen." He took her hand and kissed it. "If you feel bored, go for a walk, but don't go too far, and definitely don't go to crowded places."
He had been giving instructions for a long time but still hadn't left. Yan Zuozuo found it amusing, and suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, "Let's go."
After seeing Chi Moqing off, she finished her breakfast and was just about to watch some TV when her phone rang. The number was unfamiliar, and she hesitated for a moment before answering, "Hello, who is this?"
"Zuo Zuo? This is He Cangyuan. Would it be convenient for us to come out and talk?" He Cangyuan's voice was weary.
Yan Zuozuo frowned, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Mr. He, what brings you to call me?"
"It's nothing, I just had dinner with your CEO yesterday and heard that you resigned," He Cangyuan said with a smile.
Yan Zuozuo's smile became even more mocking. Wasn't this all orchestrated by them? Why were they acting so surprised now? What a hypocrite!
She sneered, "What's it to you?"
“Of course we’re related. You’re my daughter, so it’s only right that I care about you.” He Cangyuan’s words were hypocritical, but Yan Zuozuo only felt disgusted. “I’ve already said that my father is dead. Mr. He has mistaken me for someone else. If there’s nothing else, don’t call me again.”
"Yan Zuozuo, I am your father. How can you talk to me like that? Do you have any manners?" He Cangyuan was embarrassed by her words and spoke sternly.
"I'll say it again, my father is dead. You've got the wrong person if you're trying to claim kinship. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." Yan Zuozuo finished speaking and was about to hang up, but He Cangyuan suddenly spoke up, "Don't you want to know about me and your mother?"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "I don't think I'd be interested in a modern-day Chen Shimei story."
"What an innocent child. I abandoned your mother, but don't you want to know how she managed to raise you with such wealth while pregnant and unemployed, living a life of luxury?"
Yan Zuozuo was stunned by He Cangyuan's malicious words. Her expression changed, and she tightened her grip on her phone: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Noon, Shimao Hotel, Room 301. If you really want to know, come find me." After saying that, He Cangyuan hung up the phone.
Yan Zuozuo stared blankly at the screen for a long time before she came to her senses. Thinking of He Cangyuan's words, she felt uneasy. Was the question that had puzzled her for so long finally about to be answered? But why did she feel so panicked, as if something bad was about to happen?
