Chapter 444 Husband, I'm truly innocent.
Fisher waved his hand: "Zuo Zuo, you've always been outstanding. Actually, people over there noticed you a long time ago. They even asked me about you, but you just didn't know it yourself. When I submitted my application to them, the person in charge of the review approved it almost immediately."
How is that possible? She's so outstanding that she doesn't even know it herself.
“I’m serious, Zuo Zuo, you relied on your own power. Otherwise, why would Yi Fanxi have been able to work under you for so long? I was just going with the flow. You need to have confidence in yourself.” Fisher looked at her with a touch of sadness at parting. “After I recover, I will turn myself in. I don’t know what kind of punishment I will face, but no matter what, I will face it calmly. After that, I may wander the world as a freelance designer, seeking neither fame nor fortune, only to have a clear conscience.”
Fisher spoke with a melancholy tone, and Yan Zuozuo looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Director, is it worth it? What's past is past, there's really no need for it."
Fisher smiled and said, "When you get to my age, it's time to reflect on the past and take some time to reflect. I'm not young anymore, it's time to define myself. I don't want to live my old age in a daze, carrying a lifetime of guilt in my heart." After saying that, he coughed a few more times; his health was still not fully recovered.
Yan Zuozuo poured him a glass of water, and Fisher smiled and thanked her. Perhaps this was the last time he would drink the water she poured for him; actually, he would have preferred to make her a cup of coffee they often drank, as a farewell.
Unfortunately, my health isn't good enough.
He drank it all in one gulp, evoking a sense of desolation reminiscent of the poem "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return."
Yan Zuozuo took the glass he had finished drinking from and said earnestly, "Director, what's past is past. I don't blame you, and I don't hate you. Everyone makes mistakes. I just hope you won't torture yourself like this anymore. You still have family and a bright future ahead of you. Even if not for yourself, you should think about them."
“Even if you want to repent and make amends, there are many ways, not just turning yourself in. Let go of yourself, and let go of the people who love you.” Yan Zuozuo’s words were sincere and heartfelt, and Fisher felt a gentle warmth flowing into his heart. It was warm and tender, but also painful.
Countless times, he had fantasized about Yan Zuozuo looking at him so tenderly, saying such comforting words. He would give up everything just to have such a woman by his side until old age; it would be worth it.
Yet today, he finally received such tender words and deep gaze, but the final result was only separation. He lowered his eyes, and it seemed as if some crystalline tears glistened in them.
"Zuo Zuo, don't worry about me. I've thought it through. I should be congratulating you. Your long-cherished wish has finally come true. Work hard and shine at Milan Fashion Week!"
Yan Zuozuo nodded vigorously: "I will definitely not let you down, Director."
Fisher nodded: "I believe in you. You still have some time to prepare. However, with such a wonderful muse by your side, it shouldn't be difficult." As he spoke, he looked at Chi Moqing.
Yan Zuozuo's face flushed slightly, unaware of the exchange of glances between the two men. A sense of parting filled the air. Chi Moqing nodded to Fisher, "I will take good care of Zuozuo. She is my wife, so don't worry."
Fisher smiled, as if they had buried the hatchet with a laugh.
Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing left the ward. Yan Zuozuo was extremely excited, and Chi Moqing was also happy to see his wife like this.
He felt proud and honored that his young wife was going to shine at Milan Fashion Week.
Just as Yan Zuozuo was excitedly walking, she suddenly stopped and looked at Chi Moqing with a nervous expression. "Oh no, oh no, what should we do, husband?"
Chi Moqing held her hand: "What is it?"
"Think about it, at Fan Hua Design, whether it's Song Yutong, Lu Yaoyuan, or Tong Shili, they are all more capable and more famous than me. But now the director has nominated me to participate, what will they think?"
Even though everyone usually gets along well, it's always uncomfortable to feel uncomfortable when something like this happens, right?
In Chi Moqing's view, Lu Yaoyuan and Song Yutong shouldn't be a problem, but Tong Shili is a possibility.
He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, let's see how it goes."
That's all we can do," Yan Zuozuo nodded.
Yan Zuozuo didn't know what good fortune she had this year, but first she became the president of a charity, and then she was approved to participate in Milan Fashion Week. It seemed that Chi's mother had also changed her attitude towards her. With so many opportunities falling into her lap at once, she really couldn't believe it.
Furthermore, Yan Zuozuo suddenly realized a problem: Fisher owned half of the shares in Fan Hua Design. If he gave the shares to her free of charge, wouldn't that mean she became the largest shareholder of Fan Hua Design?
Oh my god, she's not going to be in charge of the floral design too, is she? No way, she only has one head and two hands, there's no way she could possibly handle it all.
Everyone else was incredibly excited when they encountered such a good thing, but Yan Zuozuo burst into tears.
Just then, a news report came on television. Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened, and she almost cheered. The report said that there had been recent developments in the design plagiarism case, and that she, Yan Zuozuo, had been wronged. As for the prince's girlfriend, the police were still investigating and would have a final result soon.
Aha! Her innocence has finally been cleared, and she can finally attend Milan Fashion Week openly!
Yan Zuozuo looked excitedly at Chi Moqing walking towards her and immediately threw herself into his arms, "Husband, you're amazing, you're my lucky star."
If it weren't for Chi Moqing, she might be squatting in a corner of the prison crying right now.
"With such a sweet tongue, what good news is there?" Chi Moqing placed the cut fruit on the table, pulled her hand, and made her sit down to eat.
With a smooth-sailing career and a happy and harmonious family, Yan Zuozuo feels that she has no regrets in this life.
She ate a cherry, then fed one to Chi Moqing, and said with a smile, "My husband has worked hard these past few days."
"Sweet talker," Chi Moqing smiled. "Let's go pick up the children tomorrow."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, then frowned. "Honey, are you serious? Mom is much better now. If we go too far, wouldn't that be bad?"
If she causes a rift between Chi Moqing and her sons, even if she wins against Chi's mother, she won't feel good about it. Besides, both sons love their grandmother; what will they think if they're suddenly prevented from seeing each other?
"Besides, I'm pregnant now, and you're responsible for taking care of me. You won't have time to look after the baby. Honey, let the kids stay with Mom. Look how well she raised you and Xiao Ran. Our son will definitely be even more outstanding if he stays with her," Yan Zuozuo said coquettishly.
Chi Moqing knew this girl was soft-hearted, and sighed helplessly, "Even if you don't accept it, you have to pretend. Otherwise, who knows if Mom will use the same trick again."
Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart. Having such a considerate and loving husband, she was truly content for life. However, she felt she wasn't a perfect wife; there was something she was keeping from her dear husband.
She bit her lip, looked at Chi Moqing nervously, took a deep breath and said, "Husband, Mom was angry a while ago and said we should get a divorce. There was a reason for that, and it was my fault."
She couldn't imagine how angry Chi Moqing would be if he heard this, or even if he would go crazy. Perhaps for a long time she wouldn't be able to eat good food, see her husband's smiling face, or even be prepared to pack her bags and leave with the baby in her belly.
However, they were husband and wife, and if she didn't tell him, this matter would remain weighing on her mind, and she would always feel indebted to her husband. So, she decided to be honest.
"Honey, if I tell you this, can you promise you won't get angry, won't ignore me, and most importantly, won't abandon me? Even if you're angry, you can yell at me, scold me, just don't leave me, okay?"
The more Yan Zuozuo said this, the more puzzled Chi Moqing became. "What exactly is going on?"
"Also, it's all in the past now, and you can't cause trouble for others anymore. Anyway, I wasn't hurt, and I didn't do anything to wrong you, but I still have to be honest with you."
A dark, unfathomable light flashed in Chi Moqing's eyes. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "Alright, I promise you."
After receiving Chi Moqing's assurance, Yan Zuozuo slowly began to speak, "About a month ago, before you returned to the country, I happened to have offended Yao Ziqian at the charity..."
Yan Zuozuo lowered her head in repentance, occasionally stealing a glance at Chi Moqing, recounting in detail the incident where she was almost bullied by Fisher. She clenched her fists tightly, afraid of seeing her husband's angry expression.
"Uh, that's roughly what happened, but honey, I promise you, nothing really happened between me and him. And afterwards, she even helped Meng Yuanfei take me to the hospital. Honey..." Yan Zuozuo tugged at Chi Moqing's clothes, "Fischer saved my life. If it weren't for him, I might never have seen you again. I know you'll be angry, but he's about to turn himself in, can you... can you please not pursue this further..."
Chi Moqing sighed as he looked into Yan Zuozuo's pleading and expectant eyes. In fact, he had already known about this the day after it happened.
At that moment, he was filled with indescribable rage and heartache. He wished he could kill Fisher, and he wished he could fly to his wife's side to protect her. Especially when she was sick and hospitalized, looking so weak, she would wake him up every midnight, fearing that something might happen to her.
Even being pierced by a thousand arrows is no more painful than this.
When he first saw Fisher after his return, he had a real urge to ask the doctor to explain his condition. But for the sake of his young wife, he held back!
His young wife was the most innocent party in all of this. If he had really taken the opportunity to kill Fisher, he wouldn't have had to worry about the Bourbon family finding out. However, his young wife would definitely feel guilty and suffer for the rest of her life.
So that she could still live happily and not have to face so much sadness and despair, he ultimately didn't take action. Similarly, this kind of thing is the hardest for a woman to talk about. He wouldn't force his beloved wife to say it; as long as she didn't speak of it, he would bury it in his heart forever.
But today, she said that his young wife had told him everything. This was trust, this was honesty, and he was truly happy. But he also felt guilty; when his wife was sick and hospitalized, he couldn't even be by her side to take good care of her. It was his fault.
After returning from Germany, he vowed that he would never leave his little wife again in this lifetime, and would always protect her by his side, forever!
