Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 243 A Misunderstanding That Makes Things Worse (2)

Could it be that Chi Moqing spent the hours after leaving home with Tong Shili?

Yan Zuozuo's mind was in complete turmoil. She just watched Chi Moqing and Tong Shili chatting and laughing, and her heart ached terribly.

"Zuo Zuo, Zuo Zuo, what are you daydreaming about again?" Fu Zixin waved her hand in front of her and asked.

"I..." Yan Zuozuo came to her senses and tried to speak, only to find that her throat was blocked and she couldn't speak. She bit her lip and shook her head bitterly, "It's nothing."

"Don't lie to me, what is it..." Fu Zixin's words stopped abruptly, her eyes widening in astonishment. She pinched Yan Zuozuo, "Zuozuo, I didn't see wrong, did I? That...that looks like President Chi..."

Yan Zuozuo's heart felt like it had been punched, suddenly clenching. She nodded, "It's him."

"Didn't you say he had something to do? Why are you talking to a woman here so late?"

Yan Zuozuo was stung even more by Fu Zixin's words. She clenched her fists tightly and forced a smile, saying, "We should be talking about business. He won't betray me."

Fu Zixin froze when she heard Yan Zuozuo's choked voice. She wanted to punch herself a few times. What nonsense was she talking about? How could she doubt Chi Moqing in front of Yan Zuozuo? It was so wrong of her!

She quickly said, "I was just kidding, don't cry. President Chi loves you so much, he would never do anything to betray you. Maybe he really is just talking business..."

The more Fu Zixin explained, the more distressed Yan Zuozuo felt. She stubbornly wiped away her tears, her mind replaying the scene of Chi Moqing and Tong Shili dining at the restaurant last time. Who was Chi Moqing? If he didn't want to do something, who could threaten him? Since he kept meeting with Tong Shili, it must be of his own volition. Perhaps he already felt that Tong Shili was better and more outstanding than her, so he…

Suddenly, Yan Zuozuo felt a chill run down her spine and dared not think any further. She suddenly grabbed Fu Zixin's arm and said nervously for no reason, "Zixin, promise me something."

Fu Zixin was startled by her agitation and quickly said, "Tell me, as long as it's your business, I'll go through fire and water for you."

Yan Zuozuo wasn't in the mood for jokes. She held her hand tightly and said, "You can definitely do it. Promise me you won't tell anyone that we met Chi Moqing here tonight, okay?"

Fu Zixin's arm ached from being gripped so tightly, and she frowned slightly, asking, "Zuo Zuo, are you and President Chi really alright?" She had a feeling of unease.

"I'll handle it myself. Just don't tell anyone, okay?"

Seeing Yan Zuozuo's pleading gaze, Fu Zixin said helplessly, "Alright, but you have to promise me that if you really encounter any trouble, you must tell me."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, her eyes glancing almost imperceptibly in the direction of Chi Moqing and Tong Shili. They really looked like a perfect match—a handsome man and a beautiful woman. The man was tall and imposing, and the woman was petite and pretty. Moreover, Tong Shili's shrewd and worldly skills were something Yan Zuozuo could never learn. If they were together…

Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of pain in her heart and dared not think any further. If Chi Moqing really wanted to leave her, how could she possibly stop him? To Chi Moqing, who was showered with love and affection, she didn't even have the leverage to beg him to stay.

She gave a bitter smile: "Don't worry about me, I'm really fine." She took a swig of wine, and it felt like she had drunk a deadly poison, burning her insides with excruciating pain.

"Alright, stop drinking." Fu Zixin stopped her, then suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Look, your CEO Chi is leaving. If you don't want to be exposed, we have to go back right away. Otherwise, what will you say when CEO Chi asks you where you went?"

Yan Zuozuo looked up at the departing figures of Chi Moqing and Tong Shili, her eyes filled with sorrow.

When she got home, Chi Moqing hadn't returned yet. Looking at the empty room, she felt a pang of sadness and wanted to cry.

Where did Chi Moqing go? Is he with Tong Shili? Will he come back tonight?

Looking at the clock on the wall, which showed 3:20 a.m., her heart ached terribly. She slowly squatted down, buried her head in her hands, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

At this moment, she finally understood how Chi Moqing felt when he saw her with another man. If she apologized now and explained everything to him, would he forgive her? Or was it too late for her to make this decision? Had Chi Moqing already found Tong Shili, who was more suitable for her, and decided to be with her?

Yan Zuozuo's heart was in turmoil, a deep despair engulfing her. This was the first time in their two years of marriage that she had felt so helpless and terrified. She walked numbly back to the bedroom, lay down on the bed, stared blankly at the ceiling, and tears streamed down her face.

Chi Moqing didn't get home until four in the morning. Yan Zuozuo curled up with her back to him, not wanting him to see her face covered in tears. She had been crying for just as long as Chi Moqing had been gone; her pillow was soaked with tears.

She bit her lip hard, wanting to ask him about his relationship with Tong Shili, but the words caught in her throat. What if Chi Moqing really got tired of her, or thought she was being unreasonable?

Although Meng Xinyu had deleted the recording, there might be other backups. Under such circumstances, she dared not do anything or ask anything. In her heart, she had long since lost the right to question him.

How pathetic and laughable! If Chi Moqing really wanted to leave her now and be with Tong Shili, she wouldn't even have the right to try and win him back...

Chi Moqing stood in the bathroom, washing off the perfume scent that disgusted him. If he hadn't discovered that Tong Shili was connected to Steman and J-Master, he would never have had any contact with her. To him, this woman only evoked resentment.

He took a deep breath, dried himself off, and tiptoed out. He glanced at the sleeping Yan Zuozuo and frowned. In the past few days, people had been sending him ambiguous photos of Yan Zuozuo and Fisher. He was naturally annoyed, but he was more worried about the person's purpose.

Is the intention to sabotage their relationship, or to hurt Yan Zuozuo? Who knows so much about Yan Zuozuo? Is it someone close to her, or is she being followed?

Chi Moqing was uneasy; it seemed that some things needed to be expedited.

He went outside to dry his hair before returning to the bedroom. Seeing Yan Zuozuo sleeping peacefully, he climbed onto the bed, reached out, and naturally pulled her into his arms, feeling a sense of peace.

Feeling Chi Moqing's warm embrace, Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but snuggle closer to him. Perhaps this sweetness wouldn't last much longer, so let her savor this last moment...

The next day, when Yan Zuozuo woke up, Chi Moqing had already prepared breakfast, and was as gentle as ever. For some reason, Yan Zuozuo didn't feel happy; instead, she felt a pang of sadness.

"Why are you standing there? Come and have breakfast." Chi Moqing said with a gentle smile, placing the breakfast on the table.

Yan Zuozuo gave him a forced smile. She hadn't slept all night and only managed to doze off around six in the morning, but the alarm clock rang soon after, so she was feeling groggy and listless.

She sat at the dining table, forcing herself to swallow her breakfast, trying her best to appear normal so that Chi Moqing wouldn't notice anything amiss.

However, Chi Moqing still noticed and looked up to ask, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I had a nightmare, and I kept falling asleep and waking up."

"Have you been under too much pressure lately? Do you want to take a day off?" Chi Moqing reached out and touched her face tenderly.

Yan Zuozuo instinctively wanted to dodge, but she held back in the end. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's probably because I drank coffee last night. Don't worry about me."

Chi Moqing wanted to say something more, but Yan Zuozuo had already gone to wash the dishes, leaving him only with a flustered and bewildered back view. He felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Chi Moqing saw Yan Zuozuo off to work. As soon as she arrived at the office, she saw coffee laid out on the table and then found Cai Keren standing there waiting for her with a mysterious expression.

She raised an eyebrow at her: "What are you trying to say?"

Cai Keren's face clearly screamed gossip. She sat down in front of her and chuckled, "I heard something earth-shattering happened last night. What exactly happened?"

Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes: "What earth-shattering thing? It's just a little episode."

"Don't lie to me. It's all over the company this morning. I heard that Meng Xinyu tried to frame you, but ended up getting herself killed and is now the laughing stock of high society. Is that true?"

"You already know all this, why are you asking me?" She gave Cai Keren an amused look, but...

"Did Meng Xinyu come to work today?" she asked.

Cai Keren curled her lip: "How can she have the face to come to work? After such a scandal, she should be hiding at home, not coming to work so that reporters can catch her and put her on the front page again?" She said gloatingly, "I've disliked her for a long time. What goes around comes around, she deserves it!"

Yan Zuozuo didn't speak, and after listening to Cai Keren's happy mood for a while, she tapped the table and asked, "Miss Cai, you came here early this morning to gossip, has the design been revised?"

Cai Keren blushed slightly, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I was just curious, hehe."

"Are you done being curious now? Go get to work!" Yan Zuozuo said, both amused and exasperated.

Cai Keren reluctantly touched her nose: "Really, I came to share good news with you, and this is how you treat me? You have no conscience!" As she spoke, she walked outside, but when she was almost at the door, she suddenly turned around and said, "Do you have time tonight? Let's go out and celebrate. We finally got rid of the plague god."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Go home and celebrate with your man. I won't join in."

Cai Keren snorted, seemingly very dissatisfied, then closed the door and left.

In the office, Yan Zuozuo pondered for a moment. So, Meng Xinyu had resigned? However, she still had some documents with her; it seemed she would have to consult Fisher.

She got up, preparing to go find Fisher, when her phone rang. She opened it and her expression changed drastically.

It's that same recording again, and the person who sent it is...

Yan Zuozuo took a deep breath. It was working hours, and she needed to finish her work first. As for this matter, since that person had sent it to her, they must have had their reasons. She might as well wait and see.

She stared at her phone for a long time, no longer as panicked as she had been the first time. She had already considered the worst-case scenario, so what was there to be afraid of?

A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she finally deleted the recording.
