Chapter 317 The one who caused all the trouble was actually him (1)
On the cruise ship, Adrian smiled faintly. It had been almost half an hour, and although everyone had their own thoughts, no one said anything. It was like a riddle, leaving Yan Zuozuo completely confused.
Are highly intelligent people always so incomprehensible when they speak?
Adrian's gaze kept falling on Yan Zuozuo, which Chi Moqing had noticed long ago. She returned Adrian's sharp gaze as a warning, but Adrian still had a smile on his face.
"President Chi, I'm just curious about my handsome younger brother's taste. I hope you don't mind."
Pfft! Fisher, who had just shoved the red wine into his mouth, spat it out. He glared resentfully at Adrian, thinking, "How can we have some fun when you're talking so openly?"
Chi Moqing gave Adrian a meaningful look: "I completely agree with Fisher's judgment, but I'm afraid he'll be disappointed."
Adrian laughed heartily. After spending some time together, he had come to quite like Yan Zuozuo, this little woman, though it was a pity she was already taken. He patted Fisher's shoulder forcefully, "My condolences."
Fisher's lips twitched, seriously doubting whether Adrian was really his brother.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! You guys are having a secret party here, leaving me all alone outside surrounded by a bunch of women, what's the meaning of this?" Just as everyone was chatting, Stephen barged in without any politeness. He was followed by two bodyguards, who looked quite embarrassed.
Fisher raised an eyebrow: "My sister is in her room. Do you want to go and have a chat with her?" With that, he waved to his bodyguards, signaling that they could leave.
The bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief and all withdrew.
As soon as Stephen saw Chi Moqing, he immediately turned his gaze to his side, and sure enough, Yan Zuozuo was there too!
He immediately rushed over in delight: "Zuo Zuo, you're here too?"
Yan Zuozuo felt like a flock of crows were flying around in her head, cawing incessantly. She forced a smile, "Yes, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Stephen winked at her: "How could I not have thought of that? Seeing Fisher here meant I was here too."
Yan Zuozuo smiled, thinking to herself: If she had known this would happen, she should have run away as soon as she saw Fisher.
Stephen's eyes never left Yan Zuozuo from the moment he entered, as if he didn't notice that Yan Zuozuo was speechless. If Chi Moqing hadn't been there, they would have been having a lively chat.
Fisher was a little annoyed and gently pinched him, "You're being too enthusiastic. Her husband is still here."
Stephen didn't care about being ridiculed. He turned to look at Chi Moqing, his smile widening. "If our love is truly stronger than gold, President Chi wouldn't have any worries."
Chi Guoguo’s provocation!
Upon hearing this, Yan Zuozuo, who had been nestled in Chi Moqing's arms, wished she could find a sock to gag Stephen. She looked up at Chi Moqing with a tender expression.
Chi Moqing smiled faintly, her eyes filled with doting affection, and replied to Stephen's words in a light tone, "Even if you're not afraid of flies biting you, it's still annoying to have them buzzing around you."
What? What fly? Who's the fly?
Stephen glared angrily at Chi Moqing, meeting his gaze directly. Just a moment ago, Chi Moqing was all tenderness and affection, but in the blink of an eye, his eyes had turned sharp and cold. If Stephen hadn't already known about Chi Moqing's feelings for Yan Zuozuo, he probably would have rubbed his eyes and doubted that he was seeing things.
He was actually dumbfounded. No matter how much he cared about a woman, he could never become like Chi Moqing, who was like a completely different person, making people wonder if he had a split personality.
Just then, a staff member came in and whispered a few words in Adrian's ear. Adrian then stood up and said, "Everyone, the ball is about to reach its climax. Let's go out and have some fun!"
The group filed out, with Chi Moqing walking behind Yan Zuozuo with her arm around her. As if deliberately waiting for them, Adrian whispered as he passed Chi Moqing, "Anything related to Master J, feel free to contact me anytime."
After Adrian finished speaking, he gave him a seductive smile and strode away with his long, straight legs. Chi Moqing, on the other hand, was taken aback, his eyes unconsciously becoming unfathomable.
Yan Zuozuo didn't hear Adrian's words, nor did she notice that Adrian had lingered in front of them; she was just really annoyed by the loud music outside.
"Honey, can we leave early? It's so noisy," Yan Zuozuo asked, raising her voice.
Chi Moqing snapped out of his daze and smiled indulgently at her, "Okay, let's go back then."
Before leaving, he said goodbye to Adrian and Fisher, then put his arm around Yan Zuozuo and left. After disembarking from the brightly lit cruise ship, Chi Moqing looked down at her, "Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."
Yan Zuozuo shook her head, gazing at Chi Moqing's handsome face with adoration. "I don't want to go anywhere. You're going to Germany tomorrow, so let's go back and rest early."
Chi Moqing's expression softened. He gently brushed the strands of hair from her face and said softly, "It's time to go back and rest. We won't see each other for a long time, so I'll have to use my wife's tenderness in advance."
Yan Zuozuo blushed, buried her head in his chest, and said coquettishly, "You're being indecent. Shouldn't you be conserving your energy?"
Chi Moqing hugged her and smiled, then suddenly sighed and asked, "Wife, if I'm not by your side, will you miss me?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded vigorously almost without hesitation. It seemed that she couldn't bear the thought of him not being by her side; her small hands gripped his clothes tightly, she was so reluctant to part with him.
Chi Moqing was also reluctant to leave her. Just thinking about not being able to see his beloved little wife for a long time in the future made him very depressed and he missed her terribly.
However, this matter must be dealt with. If it isn't resolved soon, they will only face countless troubles in the future.
Chi Moqing quietly put his arm around Yan Zuozuo's waist, took a breath and said, "Wife, things are a bit tricky when I go to Germany this time. I may not be able to contact you sometimes. You have to be good at home. I have already told Dad and Xiao Ran. If Mom still questions you, just tell Dad."
Yan Zuozuo stiffened; Chi Moqing's words intensified her unease. She stared at him, hating her own powerlessness. She desperately wanted to help him, but she knew all too well that there was nothing she could do.
She reached out and hugged him tightly, saying gently, "Honey, I'll wait for you to come back. No matter what happens, I'll wait for you."
Chi Moqing felt a warmth in his heart, hugged her tighter, buried his head in her hair, and whispered, "Wife, I love you..."
Yan Zuozuo's eyes reddened, both moved and worried.
Tong Shili received a call from her superiors, instructing her to deliberately approach Yi Fanxi and, by any means necessary, prevent him from secretly helping Chi Moqing. She then realized that Yi Fanxi's poisoning last night was actually for Chi Moqing's sake.
But what is the reason?
She remembered Yi Fanxi's poisoning yesterday, which was a perfect excuse to get close to him. So, she went to the hotel, and when she knocked on the door, she saw Yi Fanxi acting as if nothing had happened. He had just come out of the shower, wearing pajamas, and his hair was still wet.
"Breakfast." She handed it to him, looked around, and asked, "Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"
Yi Fanxi glanced at her sideways, opened her breakfast, and started eating. She hadn't eaten all day yesterday while rushing to save Chi Moqing, and last night she was poisoned and almost died. Now she was really hungry.
Seeing him eating heartily, Tong Shili realized he didn't seem like he was about to die. She sat down on the sofa, poured herself a glass of water, and leisurely watched TV.
As Yi Fanxi was finishing his meal, he glanced at her and suddenly said, "Even if it costs me my life, I will not let anyone hurt Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo."
Tong Shili paused abruptly, as if something was stuck in her chest, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "I don't understand."
They are not related, so what is Yi Fanxi's purpose in doing this?
Yi Fanxi lowered his eyes, something seemed to flash in them, but in the end he didn't say a word.
After a series of intense rehearsals and presentations, the collection from Fan Hua Design sold very well this season, which also helped to establish their brand and lay the foundation for their future expansion into the international market.
Fisher was in high spirits and decided to stay in Paris for a few more days. Of course, since Yi Fanxi was here, he was also included in their team. Although he was aloof, he was very handsome, and even when buying things, people would give him a discount because of him, so he became everyone's bargaining chip.
There are advantages, but there are also disadvantages. For example, when they eat, there is always a group of infatuated women surrounding them. Even though they are rejected many times by Yi Fanxi's unchanging icy face, they still refuse to give up.
Besides Yi Fanxi, Fisher is also a heartthrob. Together with a group of beautiful women, the sight of these people together is like that of celebrities stepping out of a TV show. It's definitely the most visually appealing idol drama ever.
After visiting the Eiffel Tower, they dined at a nearby restaurant. Although Yi Fanxi remained silent, he sat next to Yan Zuozuo the entire time, which made Tong Shili feel uneasy. "It's unbearably hot here, Assistant Yi, could you please go get a few boxes of ice cream?"
Yi Fanxi glanced at her thoughtfully, then got up to buy ice cream. Qin Yun silently observed the group, especially noticing a hint of sourness in Tong Shili's words, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Chi is indeed incredibly charming. I think Assistant Yi is someone you take great care of."
Yan Zuozuo glanced at her: "If someone loves me, it means I'm not old yet. What I fear is that even if I offer myself up, no one will accept me; that would be truly tragic." After saying that, she saw Tong Shili gritting her teeth in hatred. However, she was too lazy to argue with her and smiled at Fisher, "Director, we've had a blast these past few days. You must have spent a lot of money, right?"
Fisher laughed heartily: "It's alright, we'll have plenty of time to enslave you and make it back later."
"Ugh! Director, you're so heartless! I used to think you were a good person!" Song Yutong protested.
Fisher laughed even louder. Soon, Yi Fanxi returned, and everyone began to scramble for food.
Where did the promised elegance, style, and sophistication go?
Looking at this group of ravenous women, Fisher felt a deep sense of God's malice. He had given them beautiful faces, yet cruelly tore away their facade with the word "foodie." Ugh, how wicked.
Just as Fisher was weeping, his phone rang. A glance at the caller ID caused his expression to darken. However, he quickly regained his composure, stood up, and smiled, "Order whatever you like, I'll go take this call."
