Chapter 262 Losing Control (1)
In the car, Yan Zuozuo remained silent, simply gazing out the window. Chi Moqing asked with some concern, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "It's nothing, I just feel a bit choked up. Actually, I still don't understand why Sophie hates me so much."
"Silly girl, it's all in the past, don't think about it anymore." Chi Moqing patted her head affectionately. "Stay away from people like that in the future. You need to learn to protect yourself, okay?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded and let out a heavy sigh.
"In a lifetime, we will always meet all kinds of people. If we are bothered by everyone, wouldn't we be living too tiring a life? Some people are just fleeting clouds, and what's past is past. What's important is the people around us. Being happy and content is enough."
Yan Zuozuo pondered Chi Moqing's words carefully: Is it enough to just care about the feelings of those around you?
"It's like someone who likes my wife. If you don't want to hurt anyone and have to consider the other person's feelings, you can only keep getting entangled in this mess. Is this the situation you want?"
Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat!
This situation was certainly not what she wanted. She never wanted to be entangled with any man; she just wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life with her husband. Was it because she had been too tolerant and too weak in the past, which gave Fisher and Young Master Ou an opportunity?
She always thought that since she was a married woman, they would stop bothering her after she refused. However, she forgot the weakness of human nature: the more she yielded and the more she cared about other people's feelings, the more some people would take advantage of her.
Was it because she was too cowardly, or because her way of life was flawed, that led to such a complicated situation?
She suddenly gripped Chi Moqing's hand tightly. He had always been the one silently protecting her; she had done almost nothing for him, recklessly enjoying his pampering and care. He had already laid his whole heart before her, but she had been too cowardly to cherish it, almost ruining her own happiness. She had truly made a mistake…
Clenching her fist, Yan Zuozuo took a deep breath. From now on, she would never let herself be slaughtered again!
Chi Moqing noticed her unusual behavior and asked worriedly, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Yan Zuozuo tilted her head back and smiled. "I suddenly realized that happiness requires the joint efforts of two people. Before, it was just my husband working hard. From now on, I also need to learn to protect our happiness."
Chi Moqing was overjoyed and tightly grasped Yan Zuozuo's hand with one hand. "Wife, what should I do? I think I'm loving you more and more."
Yan Zuozuo smiled, buried her head in Chi Moqing's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "You seem really unwilling?"
"How could that be? Loving my wife is only natural. Honey, I love you the most!"
Yan Zuozuo's face flushed red: "Big man, don't say things like that all the time, aren't you ashamed?" Although she was secretly enjoying it, she still said it coquettishly. This man had given her all his love, and from now on she would never let go. If anyone dared to try to ruin her marriage again, she would transform into a cat with sharp claws and scratch them until they bled!
"I'm not ashamed to say it to my wife as many times as I want." Chi Moqing lowered his head and kissed Yan Zuozuo's lips, growing more and more fond of his confident and proud little wife, who was so dazzling that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
Just then, Yan Zuozuo's phone rang; it was Fu Zixin calling. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering if Su Fei's situation would affect her relationship with Su Kang.
Before Yan Zuozuo could even speak after the call connected, she heard Fu Zixin's incessant chatter: "My dear aunt, what were you doing all this time? Running away from home! Didn't you see how frantically President Chi was looking for you?!"
Yan Zuozuo glanced at Chi Moqing, and before she could even speak, she heard Fu Zixin continue to yell, "You still didn't answer the phone? Were you trying to worry us to death? Now you know you're back, huh? You can hide outside forever if you want, you stinky Zuozuo, you deserve to be scolded!"
Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Then go ahead and curse me. My husband is right here with me; he'll definitely avenge me."
"Tsk, so you're all back to normal now. Don't you even know how badly you tormented President Chi? You little ingrate, you didn't even see President Chi going crazy... But thank goodness you're finally back. I'm warning you, don't you dare disappear again next time, you hear me!"
Yan Zuozuo was deeply moved. When she opened the phone, she saw Fu Zixin making call after call, which warmed her heart. Although she had been scolded, she still felt at ease.
"It won't happen again. I'm sorry for making you worry." Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, thought for a moment, unsure whether to tell Fu Zixin about Su Fei over the phone, or whether Su Kang already knew.
She glanced at Chi Moqing, paused, and said, "Zixin, do you know about Su Fei?"
Fu Zixin was stunned: "Sophie? What heinous thing has that woman done this time? I originally felt quite sorry for her, but now I wish I could chop her into mincemeat. She's simply a female demon!"
Yan Zuozuo was silent for a while before saying, "She is currently being held in a detention center, waiting to be sentenced."
Fu Zixin stiffened. She was just sharp-tongued; she'd never really thought that way. Hearing Yan Zuozuo's words so suddenly, she was a little taken aback. "W-what's going on?"
Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment, then briefly recounted the events. After listening, Fu Zixin was stunned. "Damn it! She actually treated you like that? This damned woman, locking her up is good... no, no, she should be shot! She's absolutely inhuman! She could do something so heinous, she deserves to be abandoned!"
"Does Su Kang know?" This was Yan Zuozuo's concern. If Su Kang knew, would he be angry with Fu Zixin because of it?
Fu Zixin was taken aback, then shook her head and said, "I don't know, I'll ask him when he gets back."
"Zixin, will this matter... affect you and Su Kang?" Yan Zuozuo asked hesitantly.
Fu Zixin suddenly burst out laughing: "You're overthinking it. Do you think Su Kang doesn't know who Sophie is? His own sister committed a crime, and the law can't punish her? Does he think he's the governor of Earth and can send his sister to another planet?"
Yan Zuozuo chuckled: "I was just worried about you and Su Kang. It's good that you're both alright."
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about me. But I have to tell you, you need to love your husband well. You didn't see how upset he was, it broke my heart. I really don't know how you could be so heartless. Never mind, you two can sort this out yourselves. I won't bother you anymore, bye!" With that, she hung up the phone.
Yan Zuozuo turned her head to look at Chi Moqing. Was he really heartbroken when she left? Meeting Chi Moqing's fiery eyes, her heart trembled, feeling completely enveloped by his passion.
"Wife, what's wrong?" Chi Moqing asked.
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "It's nothing, I just suddenly realized how handsome my husband is."
Chi Moqing chuckled and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Of course, so wife, you must keep a close eye on her, lest she be coveted by other wild women."
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "If you dare to let some wild woman seduce you, I'll go find some wild man and make you furious!"
"Wife, you dare talk about seeing other men in front of me? You're dead!" Chi Moqing stepped on the gas and sped home. His wife was getting bolder and bolder; she had to be punished!
Chi Moqing received Ou Sanshao's call after he had already finished punishing his wife to his heart's content. Yan Zuozuo was glaring at him listlessly and pinched his waist hard.
"Ah, honey, it hurts, be gentle." Chi Moqing deliberately spoke in a suggestive tone, and Yan Zuozuo's face immediately turned red. On the other end of the phone, Young Master Ou clearly looked envious and jealous, gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't show off your love in front of me, believe me or not I'll steal your wife away!"
Chi Moqing snorted coldly, "You'd better have that ability too. My wife loves me to death. You'd be better off reincarnating faster."
"President Chi, are you deliberately provoking me?" Someone was about to explode.
Receiving a warning look from Yan Zuozuo, Chi Moqing decided not to be too smug, so he coughed twice and said, "What's the matter that you called? I'm on vacation and don't handle official business."
Why does that sound so familiar? Ou Luhan picked at her ear, but couldn't remember for a moment.
"Isn't Zuo Zuo back? I'll treat you to a meal and apologize while I'm at it, so you won't all be seen as the bad guy in the future."
Chi Moqing sneered: "So you, Third Young Master Ou, aren't a good person either."
"..." Ou Luhan's lips twitched, and he said impatiently, "Are you going to eat or not? Don't make me angry, or I'll invite your wife to dinner alone."
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "I'll tell my wife to stay away from you, you big pervert!"
"Chi Moqing! Can't we have some fun?" Ou Luhan roared. "It's settled then. Third floor of the International Building. You bring Zuo Zuo, and I'll bring Meng Xinyu."
Chi Moqing was taken aback, and frowned slightly. Before he could speak, Ou Luhan hung up. He stared at his phone thoughtfully, still unsure how Ou Luhan planned to retaliate against Meng Xinyu.
Yan Zuozuo looked at him: "Did something happen?"
Chi Moqing shook his head and said with a half-smile, "Young Master Ou and Meng Xinyu are going to treat us to dinner."
Yan Zuozuo was stunned: "They're really together?"
"I have no idea about that. Alright, wife, get up and wash up. There's a free dinner. We're going to have a big meal tonight." Chi Moqing said, picking up Yan Zuozuo and heading towards the bathroom.
Yan Zuozuo exclaimed in surprise, and the next second Chi Moqing closed the bathroom door, which was not suitable for children.
Third floor of the International Building.
Ou Luhan arrived late, arm in arm with Meng Xinyu. When she saw that they had already arrived and were already eating, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. "Aren't you two such a considerate couple? The person who invited us hasn't even arrived yet, and you've already started eating."
"It's all the same. You'll be my brother-in-law from now on. No matter what, you have to respect your elders, understand?"
Ou Luhan almost vomited blood. What the hell was going on? Luckily, he didn't really want to be with Meng Xinyu, otherwise, he would have to bow down to Chi Moqing in the future.
Upon seeing Chi Moqing and Ou Luhan appear together, the restaurant manager quickly came over to greet them, "Our boss happens to be here today, I'll go and inform him right away, please wait a moment."
“Uh, no need to trouble yourself, we just came here casually…” Before Yan Zuozuo could finish speaking, Chi Moqing grabbed her arm, coughed twice, and said, “Then we’ll have to trouble you.”
Yan Zuozuo had no idea what Chi Moqing was up to, so she could only wait and see. When she turned her head, she was met with Meng Xinyu's smiling face, which gave her goosebumps.
