Chapter 382 Male Gods Are to Be Admired from Afar, Not Trifled With
"President Chi, good morning. May I have a word with you in private?" Zhou Yijun winked at Chi Moqing and said with a smile.
Chi Moqing frowned, disliking Zhou Yijun's behavior in front of him. However, she must have something important to discuss, otherwise she wouldn't have come so early in the morning.
He nodded, then glanced at Yan Zuozuo, "Wife, wait for me here for a moment."
Yan Zuozuo obediently responded, but watching Chi Moqing and Zhou Yijun leave, she felt increasingly uneasy. Rationally, she knew very well that if Chi Moqing really cheated, he would never let his mistress appear in front of her, and yet he still acted as if he was annoyed; but emotionally, thinking about his recent sneaky behavior and frequent contact with Zhou Yijun, she just couldn't help but imagine the possibilities.
Not long after, Chi Moqing returned, and Zhou Yijun had already left. "Let's go." He reached out to take her hand, clearly feeling Yan Zuozuo's resistance.
He looked down at her strange expression and chuckled softly, "She called me here to discuss business, something about Huang Shikun."
Huang Shikun? Is he so important that I had to come knocking on his door first thing in the morning?
Seeing that Yan Zuozuo still looked unhappy, Chi Moqing's expression turned serious. He reached out and turned her shoulders, saying earnestly, "Wife, you can tell me what's on your mind. Don't keep it to yourself."
Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "How come I've never seen Miss Zhou before?"
With a slight smile on his lips, Chi Moqing leaned closer to Yan Zuozuo and asked, "Wife, are you jealous?"
Upon hearing Chi Moqing's words, Yan Zuozuo's face immediately turned bright red. She awkwardly turned her head to the side, looking sullen.
Upon seeing this, Chi Moqing burst into laughter and pulled her into his arms. "Wife, you've met her before. At the International Building, we were with Young Master Ou, and Meng Xinyu too. Think it over carefully."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, as if she had suddenly remembered something, and it seemed that there really was such a thing. She looked up at Chi Moqing, "I don't like the way you two are all lovey-dovey."
Chi Moqing felt wronged; he hadn't been being affectionate at all. However, seeing his wife's unhappy expression, he still sincerely admitted his mistake, "It's all my fault. I promise to keep a distance from her from now on."
He looked like he was swearing, and Yan Zuozuo chuckled. Okay, okay, she admitted she was being petty, but did her husband really have to be so serious?
She glanced at him sideways, and when she mentioned Meng Xinyu, her brows furrowed again. "Husband, if I asked you to forgive Meng Xinyu and let her and her daughter go, would you agree?"
"Hmm?" Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow at her, paused, and then reached out to gently lift her chin. "Did Mom make things difficult for you?"
Yan Zuozuo quickly shook her head: "No, no, I was just... asking casually."
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes, already knowing what was going on. He lowered his head, kissed his wife's forehead, and said softly, "Don't worry about this. I'll talk to Mom myself."
Yan Zuozuo hesitated. She knew Chi Moqing's way of doing things very well. If Chi's mother misunderstood that she was the one who was trying to sow discord between her and Chi Moqing, she would probably hate her even more.
She lowered her eyes, a bitter look flashing in them. She didn't know how her perfectly good relationship with her mother-in-law had turned out this way.
Chi Moqing knew her worries and said with a smile, "Don't worry, with your husband here, there won't be any problems."
Seeing his doting expression, Yan Zuozuo finally nodded, a smile spreading across her face.
Chi Moqing walked her to the company entrance, hugged her, and said, "Go on up, I'm going to the supermarket."
Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment, then asked again, still worried, "Honey, do you really think Mom won't be angry?"
"Angry?" Chi Moqing brushed a stray hair from her forehead. "You didn't do anything wrong. If Mom wants to be angry, let her be. I just want my wife to be happy. Honey, don't overthink it. Go to work."
Yan Zuozuo responded and turned to enter the company.
Chi Moqing stood there for a while. Thinking of his wife's hesitant demeanor lately, he knew she was hiding something from him. And just now, he had seen her with that same hesitant look again…
A slight smile played on his lips; so his young wife really was jealous. A sweet feeling welled up inside him, and he was happy with this discovery. However, it seemed he would have to discuss things with his father again regarding his mother.
In Yan Zuozuo's office, Judy knocked and came in, placing coffee on Yan Zuozuo's desk. Yan Zuozuo was already used to this; usually, Judy wanted to ask her for gossip.
“Deputy Director… Ugh, this is so awkward. Let’s just call him Yan Zuozuo.” Judy sat down opposite her without any ceremony. “How much do you know about Yi Fanxi? When is his birthday? Who else is in his family? What’s his blood type and zodiac sign? Does he have any unusual hobbies, like colors, snacks, movies, games, or novels…”
"Stop!" Yan Zuozuo looked up at Zhu Xi: "Did you come to the company to work, or to see your boyfriend?"
“…” Julie paused, then pouted and said, “Both, don’t be so stingy. You’re a married woman, eating big meals, and you won’t even let us single dogs have a sip of soup?”
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes. She wasn't drinking soup; she clearly wanted to devour Yi Fanxi whole.
"To put it simply, Assistant Yi rarely interacts with people, and I definitely don't know more about him than you do. However, he is a famous fashion designer, and if you work hard, you might be able to catch his attention."
"Really?" Julie's eyes lit up.
Yan Zuozuo nodded, took a sip of coffee, and asked, "How is your brother's health? When is he coming back to work?"
"I need to rest for a while longer, and I'll come back when I'm fully recovered."
Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Health is the foundation of everything."
Judy stood in front of Yan Zuozuo without saying a word for a while. Yan Zuozuo looked at her, puzzled. "Is there something else?"
Judy chuckled: "Yan Zuozuo, you're not allowed to tell anyone about the thing I asked you about Yi Fanxi, understand?"
Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow: "What's in it for me?"
"You!" Judy didn't expect her to say that, and couldn't help but snort. She said arrogantly, "Don't forget, I'm your savior. Besides, I've always admired your CEO Chi. If you don't want me to take him away, you'd better keep this to yourself."
Yan Zuozuo looked at her amusedly: "Then our CEO Chi will have to go with you too."
Juliet's face stiffened. Recalling the first time she saw Chi Moqing, she was indeed attracted to him. He was such a handsome and indomitable man that she was completely mesmerized. But later she realized that this man was only gentle to his wife; he was cold to everyone else. Forget about seducing him; just standing in front of him would freeze her into an ice pop.
Indeed, male gods are only for admiring, not for touching.
Just then, she discovered another handsome man. Although he was also aloof, he was very kind-hearted and actually saved her little Bichon Frise. He was clearly a warm-hearted man.
Right then and there, she decided to pursue him; it was an urgent matter!
"Okay, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Yan Zuozuo smiled at her, "Remember to send me wedding candy later."
Judy was unusually shy. She had initially disliked Yan Zuozuo, but after spending time with him, she didn't find him so displeasing anymore.
In the president's office of the Chi Group, Li Minghua was still investigating the matter of Chi Moqing's company. Although he claimed to have sufficient evidence, a closer look revealed numerous loopholes.
The morning's investigation was put on hold, and Li Minghua went back to organize the materials. Chi Moqing, on the other hand, carried a large basket and picked out fish as he walked home. Along the way, he encountered all sorts of women, young and old, from teenagers to those in their fifties, and their eyes all turned into hearts as they looked at him.
Chi Moqing was already used to the fact that he was an idol to people of all ages. All the way there, he was only thinking about how to cook the fish in his hand—steamed, braised, or even made into soup—his wife seemed to like it all.
Just as he was about to reach his doorstep, his phone rang. It was Jian Ning calling. "President, Huang Shikun has made a move. A few minutes ago, he gathered a group of people and got into a car. We don't know where they're going. I'm following behind them."
"Stay close and let me know if anything happens." Chi Moqing ended the call and then called Zhou Yijun. "Prepare all the materials and start closing in."
Chi Moqing opened the door and began categorizing the items in the refrigerator. He was thinking of making four dishes and a soup for lunch: braised fish, garlic broccoli, stir-fried lamb with scallions, and maybe...
Before he could figure out what to do next, his phone rang again. "President, Huang Shikun has gone to Madam's workplace."
Chi Moqing's face darkened: "Stop him! I'm coming right now!" He jumped into the car almost instantly, and the bodyguards who had been protecting him secretly also appeared at this moment. He glanced at them, "Thank you for your trouble later."
Although these bodyguards were rigorously trained and not allowed to act on their own, having all their skills but no opportunity to use them was truly unsatisfying. Now that they finally had a legitimate excuse, they naturally obeyed the orders.
As for Huang Shikun, he originally wanted to borrow a few soldiers from Major General Zhan, but unfortunately, Major General Zhan was too cowardly and refused to lend them to him. Helpless, he had no choice but to spend money to hire a few thugs, determined to get revenge on Chi Moqing.
"Boss, what do we do when we catch that woman?" Thug A asked lecherously. "Do you need us to provide some special services? Our girl is a bit... oh!" Before he could finish, Huang Shikun slapped him hard across the face, his eyes wide as he roared, "You guys are responsible for catching her. Without my orders, no one is allowed to touch a hair on her head, or I'll kill you!"
These thugs had no idea how powerful Chi Moqing was. As long as they had money, they would do whatever their employer said. Huang Shikun narrowed his eyes. Since Chi Moqing wasn't giving him a way out, then he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless.
First, capture his woman, then I don't believe he'll dare disobey!
