Chapter 263 Tong Shili's Identity
"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time. I heard you went to relax with your cousin. Did you have fun?" Meng Xinyu spoke to her with a rare smile, her demeanor elegant, her smile subtle and restrained, completely different from the Meng Xinyu she knew.
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, but quickly recovered and said with a smile, "That's quite funny. I heard that my cousin is with Young Master Ou. Congratulations!"
Meng Xinyu smiled shyly, even covering her mouth with her hand when drinking water. She put down her cup and said softly, "It's my blessing to be with Young Master Ou, and of course I also want to thank my cousin-in-law for making this possible. Young Master Ou and I are treating to today's meal, so please eat more."
“Of course, we just ordered a full seafood set meal. See if you want anything else, order it yourselves.” Chi Moqing said without ceremony, while placing scallops and clams on Yan Zuozuo’s plate. “It tastes good, have more.”
If it were before, Meng Xinyu would definitely be extremely jealous, but now that she already has Young Master Ou, she doesn't care at all about how good Chi Moqing is to Yan Zuozuo. Right now, she's in an extremely good mood. "Young Master, let's have the whole seafood set too. I'll peel shrimp for you."
Ou Luhan smiled slightly: "Okay, since the beauty is doing it herself, I'm going to have a good taste."
Meng Xinyu's smile grew even more charming, her mind filled with the beautiful image of becoming Mrs. Ou, and she showered Ou Luhan with attention. It was clear that Yan Zuozuo wasn't causing her any trouble; she inwardly scoffed: "Good thing you know what's good for you!"
"You should eat more too, you'll be cuter when you're chubby." Ou Luhan picked up some food and brought it to Meng Xinyu's lips. Meng Xinyu blushed slightly. In public, Ou Sanshao was being so affectionate with her. She felt so shy.
Chi Moqing raised her eyes, glanced at them indifferently, and said nothing.
Just as Meng Xinyu was feeling smugly happy, she suddenly heard someone call Ou Luhan's name, "Oh, President Chi and Young Master Ou, what brings you here today? It's truly an honor."
The woman had a sweet, delicate voice. She was wearing a bright red embroidered cheongsam and walked over with a graceful, swaying figure. Her long, wavy hair was incredibly alluring, making her dazzlingly beautiful.
Chi Moqing didn't seem to react much, but Ou Luhan's eyes sparkled. "Little Junjun, it's been so long! I missed you so much! Come here and give me a hug."
Upon hearing Ou Luhan's words, Meng Xinyu's heart sank, filled with intense jealousy. She was Ou Luhan's official girlfriend, and he was being ambiguous with another woman right in front of her—it was simply too much.
Meng Xinyu wasn't really an idiot. She knew that losing her temper at this moment would only annoy Ou Luhan, so she still had a smile on her face, but her fists were clenched tightly, wishing she could punch this annoying woman in front of her and send her flying.
The woman's smile grew even more alluring. After embracing Ou Luhan, she turned her gaze to the two ladies present. "This is Mrs. Chi, I know her. But this one..."
"I'm Young Master Ou's girlfriend, Meng Xinyu." Meng Xinyu deliberately emphasized the word "girlfriend" very clearly, hooked her arm around Ou Luhan's, and gave the woman a boastful look.
The woman raised an eyebrow, looking at Ou Luhan with a half-smile. "Tsk tsk," she thought, "Young Master Ou's judgment of people is getting worse and worse." Ou Luhan chuckled and introduced, "This is the owner of this restaurant, Zhou Yijun."
Meng Xinyu feigned surprise and said, "So the owner of this shop is a great beauty! I used to come here often, but this is the first time I've met the owner in person. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'll be coming here often with Young Master Ou from now on. We'll be friends now. Boss Zhou, you have to give us a discount!" She said innocently.
Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but shiver, suppressing her laughter. Chi Moqing didn't react, continuing to serve her food.
Zhou Yijun's mockery grew increasingly obvious, making Ou Luhan feel embarrassed. If it weren't for wanting revenge on this woman, he wouldn't have to be ridiculed by Zhou Yijun; Meng Xinyu was a complete idiot!
Zhou Yijun sat down and chatted with them for a while until all the dishes were served before leaving.
"Miss Zhou is so beautiful. I have never seen such a charming woman before," Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but exclaim.
"No matter how pretty she is, she's not as pretty as my wife. Be good, eat more." Chi Moqing said expressionlessly.
Yan Zuozuo blushed slightly and glared at him coquettishly. President Chi was becoming less and less discreet in saying nice things these days.
"Exactly! What's so great about that kind of woman? She looks like a vixen!" Meng Xinyu glared at Yan Zuozuo unhappily. Didn't she see that Young Master Ou's eyes were glued to her? He was deliberately saying this to annoy her.
Yan Zuozuo blinked, noticing Meng Xinyu's jealousy, and shook her head with a smile. She picked up some food for Chi Moqing, saying, "You eat too."
Chi Moqing opened his mouth, and Yan Zuozuo chuckled as she fed him the food.
Seeing the way the two were interacting, a sad glint flashed in Ou Luhan's eyes. She poured herself a glass of wine and gulped it down in one go.
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "Why is Young Master Ou drinking alone? I'll drink with you."
Ou Luhan's expression softened: "We won't leave until we're drunk!"
"That won't do. My husband has a sensitive stomach and needs to drink less. Young Master Ou should also drink less, otherwise we'll have to trouble your beautiful cousin to take care of you, which is too much trouble."
A hint of mockery flashed in Ou Luhan's eyes: She might be willing, but he doesn't even want her to touch him.
When they were almost full, Zhou Yijun came in again, and greeted them with a smile as soon as she entered, "How was the food today? Did you all enjoy your meal?"
Before anyone could speak, Meng Xinyu laughed and said, "It's delicious! The people here are beautiful and the food is delicious. No wonder the business is so booming."
Zhou Yijun laughed heartily: "Miss Meng, you flatter me. If you like it, please come often with Young Master Ou."
"Of course, Third Young Master, we'll hold our engagement ceremony here with Boss Zhou from now on," Meng Xinyu said shyly.
Yan Zuozuo almost spat out her tea as she brought it to her mouth. Was this progressing too fast? She glanced up at Ou Luhan and saw that he was forcing a smile, which seemed to carry a hint of mockery.
Was he with Meng Xinyu solely for revenge?
On the way back, Yan Zuozuo threw the question to Chi Moqing, who just smiled and said, "That's their business, we should refrain from interfering."
"Meng Xinyu is your cousin..."
Chi Moqing's face darkened: "If she were really my cousin, she wouldn't have done that. She brought this upon herself, that's her story."
It was clear that Chi Moqing had no intention of letting Meng Xinyu off the hook. Yan Zuozuo didn't say anything more. She had only asked because of the kinship between Chi Moqing and Meng Xinyu. If Chi Moqing didn't intend to let her go, she naturally had nothing more to say.
When the two returned home, Yan Zuozuo was comfortably soaking in the hot tub to aid digestion because she had eaten too much, while Chi Moqing completely immersed himself in playing the role of a servant, diligently scrubbing her back. "Wife, is this pressure okay?"
Yan Zuozuo squinted her eyes and let out a comfortable sigh. "Honey, do you think people outside would laugh at you if they knew how you serve your wife at home?"
"That's because they're jealous. They want to be like me but they don't have the chance yet." Chi Moqing put down the bath towel, adjusted the water, rinsed Yan Zuozuo's back, and then applied shower gel.
Yan Zuozuo lay comfortably in the bathtub: "After I'm done washing, I'll wash my husband too. I promise you'll feel comfortable and have fair and tender skin."
Chi Moqing smiled but remained silent, his slender fingers tracing across her back, a glint of fire in his eyes.
After lathering her up with shower gel and rinsing her with hot water, Chi Moqing dried her off, carried her back to the bedroom, and said, "No need to bathe your husband, wife, you should think about how to satisfy your husband later." He finished speaking ambiguously and went to the bathroom.
Yan Zuozuo's face flushed. They had just done *that* at noon... Ugh, President Chi is getting less and less restrained...
After the passion subsided, Yan Zuozuo was so exhausted that she didn't want to move a single finger. But she was still mentally clear-headed, and even said with her eyes wide open, "Honey, don't you think we're such a failure as parents? We barely see our child a few times a week."
Chi Moqing reached out and wiped the sweat from her face: "What's wrong, missing the baby?"
She shifted slightly in his arms: "Yes, when you have time, let's go see the baby." Lately, she's been increasingly wanting to bring the baby to live with her, but she's worried that her mother-in-law won't agree, and on top of that, she has to go to work, so she's really conflicted.
"Okay, after you go to the company to report for duty and take care of things, we'll go back to see the baby."
Yan Zuozuo nodded, then yawned. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she climbed onto Chi Moqing and began to interrogate him, "Husband, you told me to honestly explain your relationship with Tong Shili. Tell me, what exactly is going on between you two?"
Chi Moqing thought his wife was simply too captivating, making him unable to resist. He reached out and hugged her, his large, warm hands lingering on her back, and said with a smile, "Her identity is very special. I suspect she's an enemy rather than a friend, so we interact more often."
Are they enemies or friends?
Yan Zuozuo looked at him in astonishment: "Honey, you're talking like a spy, it's terrifying!"
Chi Moqing pinched her nose: "I'm serious, she could very well be a spy." He briefly told Yan Zuozuo about being followed during his overseas inspection and about J-Master, "Tong Shili is very likely J-Master's person, but I don't know their purpose yet."
Yan Zuozuo stiffened and immediately asked worriedly, "Then, honey, will you be in danger?"
"Honey, I told you I wouldn't lie to you, so I'll tell you the truth now: I don't know. However, I've secretly arranged bodyguards around me, so nothing should happen."
Should? There's still a possibility something might go wrong...
Yan Zuozuo suddenly grabbed his arm tightly and said very seriously, "Honey, listen to me. Whatever the other person wants, give it to them. Nothing is more important than life. I can endure hardship with you, but I can't lose you, understand?"
Chi Moqing grinned even wider and reached out to touch Yan Zuozuo, saying, "Wife, you are so virtuous. But don't be too nervous. When things are unclear, it just means that this situation cannot be ruled out, but it doesn't mean that it will happen."
"I'm worried too. After all, you're my husband, and I can't bear to see anything happen to you." Yan Zuozuo hugged him tightly, her heart filled with unease.
"Silly girl, don't worry, I would never risk my life no matter what. I know my wife is waiting for me at home."
Yan Zuozuo pouted: "Then you have to remember what you said today, and you're not allowed to go back on your word!"
"Okay, I won't go back on my word!" Chi Moqing gently stroked her long hair, his eyes smiling as he said, "Then when does my wife decide to go back to work?"
