Chapter 359 They were comrades-in-arms after all.
Just then, the doorbell rang again. Chi Moqing didn't answer the door, but coldly looked at Mi Xuer, "Are you going to leave by yourself, or be taken away by security?"
Mi Xuer's incredulous gaze met the coldness in Chi Moqing's eyes. She hadn't expected this man to be so ruthless!
She stared wide-eyed for a long time, then reluctantly stood up and walked awkwardly towards the door. She bumped into the security guards outside, glanced at them, and angrily turned and left.
The security guards exchanged strange glances, just as Chi Moqing walked out. "The matter is resolved. Sorry to have made you come all this way."
"That's good, we won't bother you any longer." After saying that, he closed the door for them.
Mi Xuer emerged from Chi Moqing's villa, her eyes filled with malice. She had indeed betrayed Yan Zuozuo, nearly costing her her life, but Yan Zuozuo wasn't a good person either; hadn't she also ruined Gu Yunxi's reputation?
Why can she act with impunity while she can't make even the slightest mistake? Is it because she has power and influence?
She hated them to death. She was very poor and had no backbone, but she had never been humiliated like this before, and Chi Moqing had just kicked her out!
This humiliation...
She gritted her teeth, determined that one day she would crush all those who bullied her, by any means necessary!
She turned around and glanced at Chi Moqing's villa, her whole body filled with intense hatred.
Inside the villa, Yan Zuozuo sat on the sofa, sighing, "Actually, Mi Xuer has a good foundation. Given time, she will definitely shine. It's such a pity." Perhaps she wasn't inherently bad, but was just being used. However, she couldn't keep a ticking time bomb by her side; it was too risky.
“There are plenty of people in this world with good potential, but they either have unfulfilled talents or don’t know how to seize opportunities. As for Mi Xu’er, you can only say that she brought it on herself.” Chi Moqing reached out and hugged her, saying gently, “Don’t think about it. She’s not worth your trouble.”
Yan Zuozuo nestled quietly against his chest, looked up at him, and asked, "Husband, how did you find out about Mi Xuer?"
“When Mi Xuer came to see you last time, I overheard her talking to Gu Yunxi on the phone. If Gu Yunxi hadn’t notified Leng Yan, how would Leng Yan have known where you were and kidnapped you on the way?” Chi Moqing said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback: "Gu Yunxi has a relationship with Leng Yan?"
Chi Moqing nodded: "They are all shady forces, and they are more or less connected to each other."
Yan Zuozuo was quite surprised, and as if she remembered something, she asked again, "You also know about the person who called me to ask me out?"
Chi Moqing nodded: "That was arranged by Stephen."
Yan Zuozuo's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment. What was going on today? Was she being shocked by her one thing after another?
She stared at Chi Moqing in astonishment. "Stephen! Why would he do this?"
Chi Moqing's eyes narrowed: "Because of me."
Yan Zuozuo looked at him, puzzled: "You?" Wasn't he and Stephen's wife classmates? He'd heard they had a pretty good relationship. Was Stephen jealous?
But considering Stephen's image, it doesn't seem like it!
“When I was in the army, I participated in commanding an international anti-gang operation. Stephen’s adoptive father was involved. I almost caught him, but in the end, his woman took a bullet for him, allowing him to escape. Over the years, he has been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on me, and Stephen is his accomplice.”
Although Chi Moqing spoke casually, Yan Zuozuo could still imagine the fierce battle at the time, and couldn't help but hug him tightly, "Were you injured?"
Chi Moqing smiled faintly: "It's just a minor injury. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine now."
Yan Zuozuo nodded, suddenly realizing, "He wants to avenge the woman who died?"
Chi Moqing was taken aback, not wanting to shatter Yan Zuozuo's beautiful fantasy. However, since he had already said it, he didn't want to hide it anymore, "He just wants revenge, for himself."
That man wasn't one to hold onto affections. Even if a woman died in his place, he wouldn't care. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed away from Yi Fanxi for so many years. For him, no emotion mattered. The only things he enjoyed in his life were power and excitement.
Yan Zuozuo found it hard to accept this statement, nestled in Chi Moqing's arms, and after a long while said softly, "It's such a pity about that woman." Her husband was still the most warm and considerate.
She paused, then sat up abruptly. "Won't we be in great danger from now on? Stephen will definitely do anything to deal with us." She spoke nervously, but then asked curiously, "But I don't understand why he saved me before?" She looked at Chi Moqing in confusion.
Chi Moqing's eyes softened, and he held Lou De even tighter. "Don't worry, with your husband here, I will definitely protect you."
Well, she also wanted to protect her husband. She decided that she would learn to drive, learn martial arts, taekwondo, and shooting in the future. Even if she couldn't protect Chi Moqing, she wouldn't become a burden to him.
"By the way, honey, why did Gu Yunxi tell Leng Yan about my affairs? You should confess. What exactly is going on between you and Leng Yan?" Yan Zuozuo asked sourly.
Chi Moqing paused and said, "I met her when I was in the army. We were comrades-in-arms and participated in many international operations together, including the anti-drug and anti-gang operation. I was shot for her back then..." As he said this, he noticed that his wife's expression was not very good, so he quickly explained, "But it was only because we were comrades-in-arms. Even if it were someone else, I would have done the same."
"Hmph, are you sure you're not after her?" Although she asked this question, Yan Zuozuo's heart still tightened when she heard the news of Chi Moqing's injury.
"Of course not. You are the person I loved before, you are the person I love now, and you will be the person I love in the future. No other woman can reside in my heart except you." Chi Moqing immediately expressed his feelings.
"You smooth talker!" Yan Zuozuo looked at him with a skeptical expression, pouting, "I wasn't by your side at that time, so tell me honestly, did you two do that?"
Chi Moqing's smile froze. Wasn't his little wife's question a bit too direct?
Seeing Chi Moqing's astonished expression, Yan Zuozuo immediately assumed that they really had something going on. Her heart ached, and tears quickly blurred her vision. It turned out that he really did have another woman before...
When Chi Moqing saw her tears, he immediately frowned. "Silly girl, why are you crying? She and I were just comrades-in-arms before, nothing more."
ha?
Helpless, Chi Moqing reached out and pulled her back into his arms, gently coaxing her, "Don't overthink it. We became enemies later. Think about it, how could I possibly have anything to do with her?"
His explanation made Yan Zuozuo feel much better, but how did things suddenly become hostile? She felt the situation was so complicated and confusing.
Chi Moqing smiled at her: "Her father used to work for the Ministry of State Security, but he was purged and almost sentenced to death. To save her father, she followed the head of the country's largest gang, but ended up betraying top state secrets. She is still a wanted criminal."
Yan Zuozuo gasped sharply. No wonder she was so ruthless; she had been influenced by her surroundings. She felt increasingly lucky. The man so many women longed for but couldn't have was right beside her, devoted to her wholeheartedly. A sense of pride and smugness immediately filled her heart.
However, she still didn't know why he had retired from the army; she'd ask him later. Right now, all she wanted was to snuggle in his arms and savor this rare happiness.
Gulu!
Suddenly, a jarring growl came from Yan Zuozuo's stomach. Her face flushed red instantly, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.
Chi Moqing chuckled softly and kissed her forehead. "I'll go find you something to eat to tide you over. I'll cook right away."
Yan Zuozuo gave him a playful glare and said, "I'll cook with you."
Chi Moqing smiled, took out some fruit from the refrigerator, cut a fruit platter for her, and said, "You can just stand over here with me, okay?" As he spoke, he used a toothpick to give her a piece of dragon fruit.
Yan Zuozuo ate the food in one bite, her eyes sparkling with hearts as she looked at Chi Moqing in his apron. Her husband was so handsome; he was stylish no matter how you looked at him.
It has to be admitted that Chi Moqing really has a talent for cooking. He only learned it once from TV, and he was able to make the "Protecting the Nation" dish so well that Yan Zuozuo praised it highly. In order to show her appreciation for him, Yan Zuozuo immediately tried to curry favor with him, which resulted in Chi Moqing pinning her down on the bed and tossing her around all night.
The next day, she didn't open her eyes until almost noon. She felt as if she had been run over by a car from head to toe, and even moving a finger was painful.
She glared angrily at the refreshed man in front of her, grinding her teeth. You can't teach a man a lesson, otherwise, the dyeing industry would be a chain store.
Seeing her like this, Chi Moqing burst out laughing.
Yan Zuozuo was both ashamed and angry. She buried her head in his chest and kept patting him with her small hands, calling him a bad person.
Chi Moqing laughed even more excessively. It had been several years, and his little wife was still so shy and innocent, like a fairy who had mistakenly fallen to earth. He could never get enough of loving her.
"You sleep a little longer, I'll go make dinner." Chi Moqing was about to get out of bed when he found his wife clinging to him, refusing to let go. He looked down, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Yan Zuozuo blushed and said shyly, "Let's hug a little longer."
A look of surprise flashed in Chi Moqing's eyes, and his heart warmed. He hugged her even tighter. Since returning from his ordeal, his little wife seemed to rely on him more, which gave him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Perhaps she was too tired, because Yan Zuozuo fell asleep again soon after. Chi Moqing carefully got out of bed to prepare lunch.
When Yan Zuozuo woke up, four dishes and a soup were already on the table, and the young couple ate to their hearts' content. Just as they were finishing their meal, Chi Moqing's phone rang; it was the person in charge of investigating the Chi family case calling.
His eyes narrowed. "Wife, you eat first. I'm going to take this call." With that, he went into the study.
Yan Zuozuo's nerves tightened; had something happened?
