Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Completely unaware of her mother's thoughts, Chi Ran greeted Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo with a smile, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Yan Zuozuo nodded, then heard Chi Ran ask Chi Moqing, "Brother, are you alright too?" When she got home yesterday, she was surprised to hear that her brother had been invited for tea by Uncle Ling. That's interesting.

"It's nothing," Chi Moqing said calmly, tidying up the lunchbox and throwing it into the trash can.

Chi Ran nodded. Since Chi Moqing said everything was fine, she figured it was fine, so she didn't ask any more questions. However, she was a little worried for Cai Qingqing and Cai Yaren. Having lived with Chi Moqing for so many years, her understanding of his cunning was beyond what most people could imagine. Especially considering how much Yan Zuozuo had worried this time, even almost causing her a miscarriage… the consequences… tsk tsk!

Seeing that Chi Ran couldn't receive her plaintive little gaze, Chi's mother took the dinner over. There was chicken soup for Yan Zuozuo and steak for Chi Moqing. "Looks like I'm a bit late, you've all already eaten." She put the dinner on the table and was relieved to see that Yan Zuozuo's complexion had improved considerably.

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Mom, the hospital is so far away. You don't need to come here anymore. It's too tiring to go back and forth. We can order takeout if we want to eat." It takes more than an hour to get from the military compound to this hospital.

Mrs. Chi frowned: "Takeout food is often unsanitary; I don't trust it."

“But we’re worried about Mom working so hard,” Yan Zuozuo said with a smile. “Even if we don’t eat takeout, there’s a kitchen here, and Mo Qing can cook for me.”

Hearing Yan Zuozuo's words, Chi's mother felt a lump in her throat. She turned to look at Chi Moqing and Chi Ran and snorted coldly, "See? Zuozuo is the one who cares about people. Unlike you guys. Especially some people, they might not even come home once a month. They don't answer the phone. If something really happens to me, who knows where they'll be."

Chi Moqing got married, but thankfully, thanks to Yan Zuozuo's guidance, he only goes home once a week. As for the one who's never home for a month, that's naturally Chi Ran. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and said bitterly, "Brother, sister-in-law, you can't play like this. You make Mom so happy, and she's always targeting me. I'm going to break down like this."

Everyone burst out laughing, and Chi's mother slapped her on the back of the head without hesitation, saying, "If you're not filial, then you're not filial. How dare you criticize others? You naughty girl."

Chi Ran rubbed the back of her head, which had been hit so hard, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Alright, alright, to express my deep love and filial piety, I'll take care of all the nutritious meals for my sister-in-law during her hospital stay. I guarantee they'll be delicious and nutritious. Is that alright?"

Chi's mother glanced at her sideways and said in a seemingly serious tone, "This is passable." Then she laughed.

Chi Moqing went outside to take out the trash when his phone rang. It was Lu Yaoyuan calling, sounding alarmed, "Moqing, I heard you were invited for tea by my uncle, are you alright?" He had heard about it as soon as he got home and couldn't wait to call and express his concern.

"If something really happened, I wouldn't be able to answer your call right now." Chi Moqing smiled and sat leisurely on a bench nearby.

"Ha, I knew you were a nine-lives cat demon. How could such a small matter be a problem?" he laughed. "Who reported you? It's alarmed the provincial authorities. That's quite a commotion."

"What do you think?" Chi Moqing asked calmly.

Lu Yaoyuan paused, his eyes widening in disbelief. "No way, isn't this digging a hole for yourself? Are the Cai family planning to take you down with them?"

Wow, that's true love! If I can't have you in life, I'll haunt you even as a ghost. I admire you!

Chi Moqing smiled but remained silent, and chatted with Lu Yaoyuan for a few more minutes. From his tone, Lu Yaoyuan knew that Chi Moqing was about to make a move.

"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know," Lu Yaoyuan said.

"Thanks, but not for now." Chi Moqing looked ahead. His relationship with Cai Keren over the years—as father, friend, and mentor—had come to this. Truly, life is unpredictable.

After a long pause, Lu Yaoyuan stammered, "Um... Mo Qing, have you been... lately...?" He asked hesitantly, which made Chi Mo Qing raise an eyebrow. "What?"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yaoyuan finally made up his mind to ask, "Have you seen Xiao Ran recently?"

Xiaoran?

Chi Moqing glanced at Chi Ran, whose expression was exaggerated and who looked completely out of sorts in the ward, then walked a little further away before asking, "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing..." Lu Yaoyuan quickly explained, "I just haven't seen her for a while, so I was asking."

Chi Moqing thought of Lu Zhitu, wondering what his decision was. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yuanyao, matters of the heart can't be forced. Although I really hope you and Xiaoran can get together, Xiaoran seems to..."

“I know, but if I give up like this without trying, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. Mo Qing, don’t try to persuade me.” Lu Yaoyuan interrupted him, speaking firmly.

Chi Moqing shook his head, somewhat helpless.

Chi Ran stayed at the hospital for a while, then received a phone call and had to leave. Just as she stepped out of the ward, Chi Moqing followed her out and asked in a low voice, "How are things going between you and Lu Zhitu lately?"

Chi Ran was taken aback, a bitter look flashed in her eyes, and then she shook her head, "Not so good, still the same."

"Xiao Ran, if Lu Zhitu is going to keep hesitating because of certain things, you should give up." She was his sister, and he didn't want her to be in his shoes. He looked at her steadily, "Believe me, Yaoyuan is more suitable for you than Zhitu."

Chi Ran bit her lip: "Give me some time." So many years of relationship, how can you just let go like that?

Chi Moqing didn't say much; when it comes to matters of the heart, no one else can interfere.

Chi's mother stayed for a while longer before the driver came to pick her up, and then she left. Only Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing remained in the ward. Chi Moqing sat beside her, half-embracing her, one hand entwined with her small hand.

Yan Zuozuo smiled gently, "Your family is so kind."

"Just our family?" Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile.

Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly, "My family." After a pause, she added, "It's so good to marry you. I'm so glad I proposed to you back then, otherwise I would have missed my chance."

Chi Moqing smiled and lowered his head to kiss her lips. "Only you would be so bold as to propose to a stranger. If I hadn't seen you go with him that day, you might have been kidnapped by someone."

Yan Zuozuo stuck out her tongue guiltily. She was so angry at the time that she didn't even think about the consequences before grabbing him and proposing to him. Now that she thinks about it, it must have been the craziest thing she's ever done in her life.

"You're the same, agreeing without hesitation. Aren't you afraid I'm a fraud?" These days, news of marriage fraud is all too common. This man is quite audacious.

"How could you be a liar? I've loved you for so many years." Chi Moqing pinched her nose and laughed. "That's why I say we're a match made in heaven. How did we end up together?"

Yan Zuozuo expressed strong agreement: "It was my destiny to marry you."

Chi Moqing chuckled softly, holding her tightly, enjoying the satisfying and warm feeling in the moment.

The next day, Chi Moqing didn't go to work, but instead asked his assistant to call him if anything came up. Yan Zuozuo told Chi Moqing about Cai Qingqing and her father calling her while she was eating breakfast, "I told Uncle Ling yesterday too."

Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "This father and daughter are really going all out."

Yan Zuozuo looked at him: "Are you angry with me? After all, Uncle Cai treated you before..."

"Fool, don't think so much. You're doing this for me, and my relationship with them, father and daughter, is long over. There's no need to feel guilty." Cai Yaren had only helped him with money these past few years, and he also hoped that he and Cai Qingqing could get back together. He had given Cai Yaren a lot of personal gifts, which he considered fair; as for Cai Qingqing, he had covered up all the shameful things she had done back then, which he considered more than enough. If they, father and daughter, wanted to harm him, he had no reason not to fight back.

After a pause, Yan Zuozuo looked up at Chi Moqing and said, "There's one more thing you need to be careful about."

"What?" Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow.

"Sophie has been holding a grudge because of Fu Zixin's matter and demanded that Su Kang come out and point out that your bidding proposal was fraudulent. Although Su Kang said he refused, Zixin is worried and asked me to remind you to be careful."

Chi Moqing remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I understand."

Yan Zuozuo hugged his waist, full of guilt: "I seem to always cause you trouble." Whether it's Cai Qingqing's matter or Su Fei's matter, it's more or less related to her.

Chi Moqing held her, reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes, "These things have nothing to do with you, don't think nonsense, and don't even think about leaving me!"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I was just expressing my feelings, I didn't really take it to heart. Besides, even if I dragged you down, I wouldn't be foolish enough to leave you, because I can't bear to part with the man who spoils me so much."

"That would be best." Chi Moqing kissed her cheek, and Yan Zuozuo turned her head to greet him warmly.

Just as the two were locked in a passionate kiss, Yan Zuozuo's phone rang. Chi Moqing reluctantly released her lips, and only after their breathing had calmed down did he hand her the phone.

Yan Zuozuo swiped the screen and was about to speak when she heard her mother's angry voice coming from inside, "Yan Zuozuo, I told you not to see He Cangyuan, why didn't you listen!"

Yan's mother shouted so loudly that Chi Moqing could hear her. Yan Zuozuo was stunned and genuinely frightened. Before she could even speak, she heard her mother's angry voice coming from the other end of the phone again, "Yan Zuozuo, if you go to see that scumbag He Cangyuan again, we're cutting all ties!" After saying that, without giving Yan Zuozuo a chance to explain, her mother hung up the phone.

Yan Zuozuo didn't even know what had happened. No, maybe she did know. Could it be that her mother, who had always been gentle and obedient in her memory, had become so hysterical because she was afraid that He Cangyuan would tell her about that matter? But she already knew.

Chi Moqing moved her phone away and asked softly, "What happened?"

Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a long time, staring blankly at Chi Moqing. When he pulled her into his arms in a doting manner, her tears couldn't help but roll down her cheeks.

Chi Moqing gently patted her back and said softly, "You went to see He Cangyuan?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded in his arms, feeling both wronged and sad. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why was everyone threatening her? He Cangyuan was threatening her, and so was her mother.

"What did He Cangyuan say to you yesterday?" Chi Moqing asked her, suspecting that Yan Zuozuo's hospitalization was related to He Cangyuan.

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip, looked away, and refused to look at him.

Chi Moqing turned her chin and looked intently at her. "Zuo Zuo, we are husband and wife."

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes and after a long while, she said in a low voice, "He Cangyuan asked me to plead with you to allocate funds to the Municipal Hospital."

"Is that all?" Chi Moqing asked, frowning.

Yan Zuozuo sniffed, turned to look out the window, paused for a moment, and then said, "He said he has my mother's shameful past in his hands, and if I don't agree to his demands, he will expose it."
