Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 455: Isn't my judgment too sharp?

"If you love someone, treat her well. Once a woman's heart is broken, she may never look back. Young Master Yi, keep up the good work." After saying that, she pulled Chi Moqing away.

Yi Fanxi stood still and blinked, a faint, unfathomable light flashing in his deep eyes.

After leaving the hospital, Yan Zuozuo held Chi Moqing's hand and asked curiously, "Honey, do you think Yi Fanxi likes Tong Shili or Zhu Xi?"

"When did my wife become so gossipy?" Chi Moqing looked at her amusedly.

"I'm just curious, tell me about it."

"You," Chi Moqing said with a gentle flick of his wife's nose, "I like them both, but the feelings are different. Wife, you must remember one thing: the more you care about something, the more easily you are controlled by it."

Yan Zuozuo seemed to be deep in thought. Did her husband mean that if she wanted to win against Yi Fanxi, she had to find his weakness?

Godfather, Tong Shili, and Juliet...

She smiled, realizing that she had so much leverage over Yi Fanxi.

Seeing that his wife had figured out his intention, Chi Moqing's lips curled up slightly. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Are you very curious about Ding Le?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded.

“We were comrades-in-arms, and Leng Yan was with us back then. You know what happened to Leng Yan; Ding Le’s family died at the hands of international drug lords, so she hates those people to the core. Perhaps influenced by this incident, she trained like a madwoman ever since, going wherever there was danger. She was lucky, but also tragic. She could return victorious, but she had to face the deaths of her comrades. There was even an instance where the entire team on a mission was wiped out, and only she returned.”

Yan Zuozuo felt a pang in her heart. Was this a case of having no will to live, yet God insisted that she live, watching helplessly as her comrades fell one by one around her?

War is cruel; once you're on the battlefield, no one can guarantee they'll come back alive. Thinking this, Yan Zuozuo suddenly hugged Chi Moqing tightly. She was so grateful that he was still standing unharmed beside her. If he…

She didn't dare to think any further, and just held him tightly, saying, "Husband, promise me you'll never leave me."

Chi Moqing rubbed his chin against the top of her head: "Don't worry, your husband will definitely be fine."

But Zuo Zuo couldn't rest easy. If Chi Moqing really had to go to the battlefield one day, how could she really guarantee that her life would be safe?

Seeing his wife's somber expression, Chi Moqing pinched her cheek and said, "Even for your sake, I will never let anything happen to me. Cheer up, okay?"

Yan Zuozuo looked at him. What could she do even if she was upset? Her husband was a soldier; some things couldn't be prevented from happening just by worrying. All she could do now was cherish the time they had together, strengthen herself, and one day be able to provide a small haven for her husband.

"Wife, there's something I need to be more understanding about. Ding Le spends a lot of time with those strong, rough men, so his personality might not be as feminine as it used to be. You need to be more understanding."

Yan Zuozuo nodded. After hearing Chi Moqing's introduction of Ding Le, she only felt sorry for the girl. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't think Ding Le's personality is bad. I like it quite a bit."

Chi Moqing looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with deep affection. "Wife, Ding Le has no relatives or friends. In her heart, I am the closest person to her. She is almost thirty years old, but she has never had a peaceful day. I brought her back this time, so please take good care of her. But don't worry, our relationship is just like family. Wife, don't misunderstand."

Meeting Chi Moqing's pleading gaze, Yan Zuozuo hugged him, rubbing her face against his chest, "I trust my husband's character, don't worry, I know what to do."

In truth, Yan Zuozuo wasn't oblivious to Chi Moqing's meaning. To him, Ding Le was a special person. It wasn't about romantic feelings, yet it was incredibly complex. Therefore, she had to learn to be understanding in some ways.

The next morning, Yan Zuozuo woke up groggily. Chi Moqing wasn't in the room, so she got up to draw back the curtains for some fresh air. To her surprise, she saw Ding Le already standing outside the door, motionless like a stone statue. She scratched her head, realizing for the first time that her husband's suggestion seemed a bit unreliable.

Chi Moqing came in from outside and put his arm around her waist. "Wife, breakfast is ready."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, then pointed out the window, "Honey, maybe Ding Le doesn't have to be so serious."

Chi Moqing nodded in agreement, then took out his phone and called Ding Le. "Come in and have breakfast together." After saying that, he looked down at his wife in his arms and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Yan Zuozuo nodded. Indeed, Ding Le was going to work with her, and there were some things that needed to be clarified.

Ding Le entered quickly, but upon seeing Chi Moqing in his apron, his eyes widened and his mouth formed an "O," clearly unable to accept his appearance. After a long pause, he stammered, "Chief...Chief...I'm here to report..."

"No need to be so serious, this is home, please sit down."

Ding Le walked in with a strange expression. Looking at the neatly arranged and spotless villa, he couldn't help but swallow hard. The leader makes breakfast, the leader wears an apron, could it be that the leader also kept this tidy environment up by himself?!

Yan Zuozuo took out a pair of new slippers, bent down and placed them in front of Ding Le, "These are brand new, no one has worn them before."

Ding Le snapped out of his daze, startled. "Sister-in-law, you...you don't do this, I can do it myself..."

Thankfully, he compromised, and Ding Le followed the aroma to the restaurant. Upon seeing the breakfast on the table, his mouth almost watered.

It's absolutely delicious!

When they go on missions, it's common for them to go for days and nights without water or food. Sometimes they can only survive by hunting wild food, sometimes even eating raw. Compared to that, Bear Grylls' shows are nothing.

Yan Zuozuo looked at Ding Le with amusement. "Is this beauty also a little foodie?"

She ladled out some porridge and placed it in front of Ding Le: "Don't be shy, eat up."

Ding Le quickly took it, smiling apologetically, "Sister-in-law, don't be so nice to me..."

No one had ever been so kind to her.

Yan Zuozuo felt a lump in her throat, and sniffed to hide it, saying, "We're all family, so don't be shy, just eat."

Ding Le's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened for a moment. Without looking up, he picked up the big steamed bun and began to eat it in big bites, his eyes moist.

Honestly, Ding Le's eating manners were quite rude, no less so than a grown man's. To outsiders, it would be considered impolite, but Yan Zuozuo found it quite genuine, and it even gave her an appetite. She picked up a steamed bun and began to eat.

Chi Moqing sat to the side watching, his little wife's expression was all seen by him, and his eyes unconsciously softened.

He hesitated for a long time about whether or not to bring Ding Le back. Ding Le wasn't like the girls they usually met; her personality and her experiences probably wouldn't appeal to many. He was very worried about his wife's attitude towards her.

But seeing his wife's expression now, he could finally relax.

Chi Moqing's feelings for Ding Le were complex. They were comrades-in-arms who had faced life and death together, companions who had weathered storms together and remained by each other's side until now; their bond even surpassed kinship. He also felt pity and heartache for her.

Seeing that his wife didn't look down on Ding Le, Chi Moqing felt even more that his wife was kind and wonderful.

About half an hour later, Ding Le had almost finished eating. Chi Moqing glanced at Yan Zuozuo, indicating that she could say something.

Receiving Chi Moqing's gaze, Yan Zuozuo smiled and turned to look at Ding Le, "Ding Le, come to work with me. I have a few requests to make to you."

Ding Le quickly put down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Sister-in-law, you go ahead."

“Just like Mo Qing said, although you’re working with me to protect my safety, you’re still my nominal assistant. When you’re working with me, you just need to relax and don’t have to be as reserved as you are in the military, okay?” Yan Zuozuo tried to slow down her speech and spoke gently and sincerely, just to avoid hurting her self-esteem.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I understand."

Why did she have this strange feeling that she didn't understand anything at all? Yan Zuozuo blinked and looked at Chi Moqing.

With a smile in his eyes, Chi Moqing tapped Ding Le's head with his chopsticks. "This isn't the military base, and you're not a soldier. Relax. You're just an ordinary girl, understand?"

Ding Le was stunned. An ordinary girl? But she had never been an ordinary girl.

Her eyes darted around, she bit her lip and hesitated for a long time, finally taking a deep breath and saying, "An ordinary girl, an ordinary girl... Okay, I'll try my best."

Having spent so much time on the battlefield, accustomed to the tense environment of gunfire, Ding Le couldn't immediately shake off the emotional turmoil. However, after Chi Moqing's reminder, she understood a bit better.

Yan Zuozuo smiled at her and said, "Ding Le, you are very beautiful, even more beautiful than a celebrity. Be a beautiful girl."

Huh? She's pretty?

Ding Le blinked; no one had ever told her that before.

After dinner, Chi Moqing drove them to work. Yan Zuozuo works in the fashion design industry, and the building is filled with stylish and trendy young men and women, which makes Ding Le feel immense pressure.

She looked down at her outdated outfit, wondering if it would embarrass her sister-in-law. She had always avoided places so fashionable.

Relax, relax, this isn't the military...

Just as she was giving herself a mental pep talk, Yan Zuozuo suddenly approached her, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "There are lots of handsome young men inside, let's go."

Huh? There's a young, handsome guy here?

Ding Le's eyes lit up, and he followed Yan Zuozuo inside eagerly.

When Tong Shili saw Yan Zuozuo bring Ding Le in, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes. This woman...

"Good morning, Deputy Director Tong." Yan Zuozuo introduced Tong Shili to Ding Le. Ding Le nodded, looked her up and down, and let out a slight snort.

"So you're the director's new assistant. Welcome," Tong Shili said calmly.

Ding Le was reluctant to shake hands with Tong Shili, but considering Yan Zuozuo's status, he still shook hands politely. He quickly withdrew his hand, as if he had offended something evil.

Tong Shili's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her smile. "I still have work to do, so I'll be going now."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, having observed Ding Le's reaction earlier. Once in the office, she asked curiously, "Ding Le, didn't you like that lady just now?"

Ding Le pouted: "This person has ill intentions, I don't like him."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. They had only met once, wasn't her judgment too sharp?
