Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 494 Conspiracy (4)

The negotiations between Bai Ningxuan and Tong Shili have come to a temporary end. Except for one clause that is still under discussion, they have reached a consensus on the other terms. Tong Shili had never met someone so generous in business before, and many of the terms were beneficial to Fan Hua Design. Bai Ningxuan agreed to all the terms that were acceptable, which surprised her.

Tong Shili had fulfilled her mission and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up her coffee, about to drink it, but Bai Ningxuan stopped her. "It's cold, don't drink it. I'll have my secretary make another cup." With that, he pressed the intercom and gave the instructions.

"No need to bother, I'm used to it..."

"Silly girl." Bai Ningxuan's eyes softened. "Mine's getting cold too, let's change them together. Wait a moment."

Tong Shili stared blankly at Bai Ningxuan's gentle smile, his words "fool" echoing in her mind. It had been so long since anyone had called her that. The memory was distant, dating back to when she was with her parents.

It's been so many years, she's almost forgotten about it.

A glacier in her heart seemed to collapse. She just looked at him, a man who made her want to get closer, gentle and soft, his warmth seeping into her heart little by little.

Realizing her lapse in composure, Tong Shili quickly regained her composure, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Yan Zuozuo returned from the hospital, intending to cook for her husband, but as soon as she stepped into the house, she was greeted by the aroma of food filling the entire place.

Is Chi Moqing at home?

She changed her shoes, put down her bag, and walked towards the kitchen. Sure enough, she saw Chi Moqing's tall and muscular figure busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron, making soup and porridge. A warm feeling welled up inside her, and she wanted to go over and talk to him. However, her steps faltered in an instant. Remembering what had happened today, she wondered how she would face the situation if Chi Moqing really had something going on with Lucy.

She bit her lip and stood there in a daze.

Chi Moqing turned down the stove and turned around to see Yan Zuozuo standing there, looking preoccupied. He took off his apron, walked over, and pulled her into his arms. "Why are you leaving get off work early today?"

His embrace was always so warm and strong, so reassuring, that it captivated her. But what if that chest wasn't just hers alone…

Thinking about it, she felt incredibly sad and couldn't help but reach out and hug him tightly, burying her head in his chest and inhaling his pleasant scent.

Years ago, she had abandoned this embrace when he found her in the rain; now, she no longer possessed that courage and resolve to leave. If he truly had another woman, should she turn a blind eye?

Noticing his wife's unusual behavior, Chi Moqing frowned. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Yan Zuozuo shook his head.

"Still feeling unwell?"

"No." She was just feeling upset.

Seeing his wife like this, Chi Moqing stroked her back gently, as if coaxing a child, and said softly, "Have you suffered some injustice? Tell your husband, and I will help you get justice."

What if he's the one who makes her feel wronged?

Yan Zuozuo sighed, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. She stared at Chi Moqing's handsome face, "It's nothing. Yutong and Lucy were in a car accident and are in the hospital. I'm just a little tired."

"Is that all?" Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow.

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Fortunately, the other party is a good person. Not only did they not pursue their responsibility, but they also defended them in front of the police. That's good."

Chi Moqing's brows furrowed even more: "Wife, what do you want to say?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Was her expression really that obvious?

She shook her head and smiled weakly, "It's nothing, you go ahead and do your work, I'm going to take a shower."

The young wife was clearly dodging!

Chi Moqing didn't let go, but reached out and lifted her chin. "I cooked some porridge and made some soup. Eat something first before taking a shower."

Yan Zuozuo lost all appetite: "Why did you cook so much?"

Lucy is in the hospital, so is this food for her? Thinking about this, Yan Zuozuo felt even more depressed.

"Okay, honey, I have to go out for a bit later."

Yan Zuozuo stiffened. Was she going to see Lucy?

She gave a wry smile, "You go ahead with your work, I'll eat later."

Looking at his wife's forlorn face, Chi Moqing reached out and turned her face back. "Wife, is something on your mind?"

"No!" However, answering too quickly made her seem guilty. She pushed away Chi Moqing's hand, turned and walked towards the bathroom. "You go ahead and do your work. I'll eat by myself."

If it's true, she needs to think carefully about what she'll do on her own in the future.

Seeing his wife like this, Chi Moqing felt anxious and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his arms. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Her tone became more forceful, and Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, feeling a little hurt. "I'm really just tired. I want to take a shower and rest."

Tired? Your worries are written all over your face.

Chi Moqing realized there was something wrong with his tone and softened his tone, "Okay, then I'll stay home and rest with you."

Yan Zuozuo felt utterly defeated; all she wanted now was to be alone for a while. Before, Chi Moqing would only go out during the day, and even if he didn't come back at night, he would tell her what happened so she wouldn't worry. But now, he said nothing, just gave a casual remark, which made her truly suspicious.

But what good is suspicion? Even if everything is true, how can she stop it?

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

Chi Moqing stared at her bitter face and sighed heavily. It seemed that if he didn't clarify things soon, his young wife would really abandon her husband and children.

"I'll carry you to rest." Chi Moqing picked her up and carefully placed her on the bed.

"No, I haven't changed my clothes yet."

"Honey, I have something to tell you." He sat down next to her.

Yan Zuozuo's breath hitched. Was he planning to tell her everything?

She looked at him nervously: "Don't say it!" She wasn't prepared and hadn't figured out how to handle this situation.

“Your assistant crashed into my car.” Chi Moqing said, which startled Yan Zuozuo. He continued, “I was on my way out for business when she crashed into me at the intersection. I was fine, but she wasn’t so lucky.”

Yan Zuozuo didn't know how to react for a moment.

“You should have visited them at the hospital. She’s your assistant, and I don’t want her accident to affect your work.” He reached out and touched Yan Zuozuo’s face. “I made some soup and porridge and wanted to go with you to see them, but since you’re tired, let Jian Ning take them over.”

Yan Zuozuo's mind raced. Was things really that simple? Was her husband only protecting Lucy because of her, and the matter was being downplayed?

She pursed her lips, her mind still a jumble. "Oh, I see. I am a little tired, but it's okay, you go ahead. Lucy doesn't have any relatives here, so you're perfect for her..."

"Wife!" Chi Moqing was clearly unhappy. Was she planning to push him to someone else?

He stared at her. "You can ask me anything. Don't keep things bottled up inside. I don't like that."

Has he already started to dislike her?

She lowered her eyes and said, "I..."

"Think it through before you talk to me. Now, are you going to come with me to the hospital, or should I stay home with you and rest?"

Seeing Chi Moqing's serious expression, Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the hospital together."

She couldn't bring herself to ask Chi Moqing how he and Lucy met, or about that note.

Although Chi Moqing's complexion had improved along the way, it was clearly not as gentle as before. Yan Zuozuo didn't know what to say and remained silent.

When they arrived at the hospital, Jian Ning was already in the ward. He sat next to Lucy. Although they didn't talk much, Yan Zuozuo could tell that Jian Ning looked at Lucy in a very different way.

Jian Ning is already married, and his wife is pregnant, so how come...

She frowned, hoping it wasn't what she was thinking. Did this mean that Chi Moqing and Lucy weren't actually involved?

Upon seeing Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing enter, Lucy looked up and froze on the spot.

really……

"Greetings, Commander! Greetings, Madam!" Jian Ning stood up and greeted respectfully.

lady? !

Lucy bit her lip.

Yan Zuozuo led Chi Moqing inside, smiling as she said, "Let me introduce you. This is my husband, Chi Moqing, and this is my assistant, Lucy. Yutong doesn't need an introduction."

"Director Yan, is General Ikegami your husband?" Lucy blurted out.

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Yes, you're late, so it's not surprising that you don't know me." As she spoke, she took the thermos from Chi Moqing's hand, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come and eat, this is what my husband made, see if it suits your taste."

A hint of resentment flashed in Lucy's eyes.

The aroma of the food filled the ward, making everyone's mouths water.

“Ikegami is such a good man. Not only is he successful in his career, but he can also cook.” Lucy said, looking at Chi Moqing.

“Yes, and more importantly, my husband is devoted to me.” Yan Zuozuo chuckled, handing the porridge to Lucy and serving a bowl to Song Yutong and Jian Ning.

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow. Was his little wife asserting her dominance?

A smile flickered in his eyes; he liked his "stingy" wife even more.

Lucy paused, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

Jian Ning took the bowl from Yan Zuozuo's hand, but then put it aside and took the bowl from Lucy's hand. "I'll feed you."

Her movements were fluid and practiced; had Jian Ning been taking care of Lucy all this time?

Yan Zuozuo's brows furrowed more and more; Jian Ning had really cheated on her!

"Wife, come and sit down." Chi Moqing took her hand and sat her down to the side. Yan Zuozuo nodded and went over. Watching Jian Ning carefully feeding Lucy, she felt increasingly unhappy.

Jian Ning is quite skilled at serving people, but has he ever served his wife like this? He looked so nervous; he probably wasn't even this dramatic when his wife was giving birth.

Chi Moqing's phone rang. He glanced at Yan Zuozuo and said, "Wife, you two chat first. I'll go out to take this call."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, and then saw Chi Moqing leave.

Lucy watched him disappear through the door, then turned to Yan Zuozuo and smiled, "Director, your husband loves you very much."

Yan Zuozuo smiled sweetly: "Yes, we've been married for so many years and he has never changed, and I believe he never will."

Lucy frowned. Did Yan Zuozuo know something? Her words seemed to imply that she should let go.

"The director married a good man." She took a bite of the food Jian Ning brought her and praised it highly. "Her cooking is excellent. She's so lucky to have married such a man."

Yan Zuozuo smiled faintly, but before she could speak, she heard Jian Ning say, "That's right, our leader is proficient in all kinds of skills, and he also dotes on his wife. Isn't it delicious? At home, the leader always cooks."

"Delicious! Director Yan is truly enviable." She turned to Jian Ning, "Do you know how to cook? Do you prepare meals for your wife when you get home?"

Yan Zuozuo's expression hardened. Did Lucy know that Jian Ning was married and still want to make a move? Or was she indirectly telling her that even if they got married, she didn't intend to let go?
