Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 223 Another misunderstanding

Yan Zuozuo stayed home and didn't go out, while Meng Xinyu remained silent after sending her the recording. People are often most afraid of moments like this, when there's no relief, just a feeling of unease hanging in the air.

She sat listlessly on the sofa, a comedy playing on TV, but there was no smile on her face. The nanny had already been sent home on leave, and she was all alone in the huge villa.

Fisher called her and asked her to meet up. Yan Zuozuo wasn't in the mood and wanted to refuse. But Fisher said he had work to discuss and had to come out!

She couldn't refuse work-related requests, so she hung up the phone, quickly tidied herself up, and went out.

They met at a coffee shop near the villa. Fisher would occasionally tell her something funny to amuse her, but Yan Zuozuo remained absent-minded, and even when she smiled, it was perfunctory.

Fisher felt a mix of helplessness and heartache, wanting to say something, but it seemed pointless. Midway through, Chi Moqing called, and Yan Zuozuo chatted and laughed, but as soon as she hung up, she felt utterly dejected.

Looking at Yan Zuozuo like this, Fisher always felt uneasy. She was like a rag doll that had lost its soul, a stagnant pool of water, lifeless.

He guessed that the recording Yan Zuozuo received earlier was given to her by Meng Xinyu, because there were all sorts of rumors circulating in the company that were detrimental to her, and after investigation, it was found that they were all spread by Meng Xinyu.

He pursed his lips, thinking about how he could help her.

Yan Zuozuo's expression was blank. Her eyes were unfocused as she stared out the window. The bustling street was lively, but she only felt tired and lonely. She turned her head and suddenly met Fisher's concerned eyes.

Their eyes met, and a subtle emotion seemed to be brewing in the air. Yan Zuozuo suddenly lowered her head, unsure if it was her imagination, but she actually saw an inappropriate feeling in Fisher's eyes.

She was terrified. To her, Fisher was just her boss and a friend. She hoped she was just imagining things and that Fisher didn't have any other feelings for her...

Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head back to the window. Things were already complicated enough; she didn't want anything else to get involved.

Her hands gripped the coffee cup tightly, even trembling slightly.

She's deliberately avoiding it!

Fisher's heart clenched, and he frowned slightly, but said nothing. Yan Zuozuo felt empty inside; she needed something to fill that void. So he gave her a lot of work to do, which she could also do at home.

Yan Zuozuo actually didn't have the energy to work, but if she didn't work, she would start overthinking. So she accepted Fisher's assignment to force herself to forget the terrifying events that might happen by keeping herself busy with work.

“It’s almost noon, let’s have lunch here. What would you like to eat?” Fisher asked.

It's 11:20, time for dinner.

Yan Zuozuo blankly took the menu, casually ordered a bowl of porridge, and then handed the menu to Fisher. Fisher frowned and quickly ordered several dishes, all of which were Yan Zuozuo's usual favorites.

Yan Zuozuo was a little dumbfounded when she heard the names of the dishes. How did Fisher know that she liked to eat these? It seemed that after this incident, Fisher's attitude towards her had become much closer.

She lowered her eyes, slowly stirred her coffee, and said, "Director, I'm not feeling well. I'll be going back after dinner. I'm really fine, you don't need to worry about me."

"If you were really okay, you wouldn't look so pale. Eat more later, or you're not allowed to go home!"

Yan Zuozuo was speechless. She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but Fisher seemed to treat her... really differently.

Or is he like this with other employees as well?

Just as Yan Zuozuo hesitated, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. Then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Meng Xinyu walked in with a mocking expression. "I thought I was seeing things, but it really is my cousin-in-law and the director."

Yan Zuozuo was startled, never expecting to run into Meng Xinyu here!

Before Ou Luhan's matter was resolved, she saw her alone with Fisher in a private room, and the misunderstanding seemed to be snowballing.

The woman following closely behind Meng Xinyu also walked in. This woman...

Yan Zuozuo immediately thought of the woman who had a very unpleasant encounter with Fisher in the coffee shop last time. It seemed that she had a close relationship with Fisher. Seeing these two people standing in front of them, Yan Zuozuo suddenly felt like she was in a situation where she couldn't clear her name no matter what.

"My cousin-in-law is really something. After seducing Young Master Ou, she's now seducing the Director. I'm truly impressed." Meng Xinyu smiled eerily, her eyes filled with jealousy as she looked at Yan Zuozuo. Why does every outstanding man revolve around this vixen? What's so great about her anyway?!

She gritted her teeth in hatred, but her face still wore a sarcastic smile. "My cousin has only been gone for ten or fifteen days, and my cousin's wife couldn't resist having an affair, and with two men at once. If my cousin finds out, I wonder how she plans to explain herself?"

“Meng Xinyu, watch your words!” Fisher frowned. “We’re here on business. Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself!”

"Can't we discuss business in such a large company? Why do we have to meet outside? No matter how dirty my thoughts are, they can't compare to the dirty things you've done!" Meng Xinyu sneered. "Yan Zuozuo, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Don't blame me this time. If your cousin abandons you, you can only blame yourself for what you brought on!"

Yan Zuozuo froze. Was Meng Xinyu planning to tell Chi Moqing? She felt extremely flustered.

"Shut up!" Fisher's face darkened as he saw Yan Zuozuo's helpless expression. "If you're here to cause trouble, get out of here now!"

"I'm being unreasonable? Director, you have to speak from your conscience. You wronged my best friend first, and now you're defending this vixen in front of my best friend. What do you mean by this?" With that, Meng Xinyu pushed the woman standing behind her in front of Fisher. "Qin Yun, you speak up. Go and warn this vixen. If you don't speak up, the director might really be seduced by her!"

Qin Yun looked at Fisher, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Back in their days at MB Company, she and Fisher were known as the golden couple of the fashion world, a loving pair. But because she was too ambitious, she ended up breaking up with Fisher.

She initially thought Fisher was just angry and that after a while, she could coax him back. Little did she know, Fisher was determined to put in the effort for her, even abandoning everything to come to China.

After she achieved success in her career and secured her position as chief designer, she chased after him, pleading and begging to reconcile with him, but he firmly rejected her.

She hadn't understood why before, but now it seemed it was all because of the woman standing beside her. She was furious, but she had paid the price of breaking up with him to become the chief designer at MB Company, so what right did she have to criticize him now?

Seeing Qin Yun's lack of backbone, Meng Xinyu became somewhat displeased. She shoved Qin Yun, "Say something! Fisher is your man, what exactly are you compromising for? Tell me!"

Qin Yun bit her lip, remaining silent and staring intently at Fisher.

Fisher seemed completely disregarding Qin Yun's feelings, coldly looking at her, "Do you have the right to play innocent and gain sympathy here? Do you need me to tell you how you broke up back then?"

Qin Yun trembled slightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes.

"If you don't want me to expose your dirty secrets, leave now!" Fisher said sharply, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Qin Yun clenched her fist. She had always known that Fisher was a woman of her word. She had worked so hard to get to where she was today, and she couldn't let her career be ruined because of this.

She lowered her eyes, a bitter feeling churning in her heart. How could he have changed his mind so quickly and been so cruel and heartless to her in just a few short months?

Even though Fisher had a string of women in the past, no one could replace her in his heart. But today, facing Yan Zuozuo, she didn't have that confidence anymore.

She swayed, not wanting to embarrass herself any further, clenched her fist, turned around and left.

Meng Xinyu finally got a chance to humiliate Yan Zuozuo, how could she give it up so easily?

She grabbed Qin Yun's arm: "What are you doing? That's your man. Are you just going to give him away like that? Is this still the Qin Yun I know?"

"Xinyu, I beg you, let's go." Qin Yun looked at her with a sorrowful expression, then at Fisher. Was he really willing to hurt her to protect that woman? Their five-year relationship.

Meng Xinyu had no idea what Qin Yun was doing, but it seemed impossible to humiliate Yan Zuozuo today. In the end, she glared at Yan Zuozuo hatefully, "I don't know what kind of seductive tricks you have to make men devoted to you, but you better watch out, I won't let you continue to deceive my cousin! I'll let you go for now!" After saying that, Meng Xinyu pulled Qin Yun away.

The moment Qin Yun stepped out of the private room, his eyes dimmed. Having been with Fisher for five years, she knew him even better than she knew him. The way he looked at Yan Zuozuo was unmistakably filled with infatuation.

She didn't know that woman; everything she knew came from Meng Xinyu. But no matter what kind of woman she was, she wouldn't be able to take Fisher away from her.

Meng Xinyu and Qin Yun left, and Yan Zuozuo slumped into her seat, utterly dejected. She had provided Meng Xinyu with more evidence to frame her. Without needing to say more, she only needed to whisper in Chi's mother's ear from time to time to destroy all of Chi's mother's goodwill towards her.

And Chi Moqing...

She sat there without saying a word, but her chest felt tight, as if she couldn't breathe.

Fisher looked at her apologetically and worriedly: "Zuo Zuo, don't listen to their nonsense. I've already broken up with Qin Yun. To get the position of chief designer, she didn't hesitate to embarrass me and slept with the president of MB. We broke up the moment we met. You have to believe me..."

Fisher's urgent explanation only made Yan Zuozuo's expression worse. If Chi Moqing found out that she had slept in the same bed as Ou Luhan, would he break up with her too?

Her body trembled, and she frantically grabbed her bag, ready to leave. But Fisher stopped her. "Where are you going? Don't you believe me? Everything I said is true..."

Yan Zuozuo paused, subconsciously took two steps back, and pulled away from the two people's rejections, "I have no interest in the director's feelings, I'm going back."

A look of deep sorrow flashed across Fisher's face. He stared at her for a long time before taking a deep breath and saying, "I'm sorry, I just felt it was necessary to give you an explanation for making you suffer. Never mind, let's eat first, you haven't eaten anything yet."

"No need, I have no appetite. Thank you for your kindness, Director." Yan Zuozuo shook her head. "If there's nothing else, Director, I'll be going now."

"Zuo Zuo!" Fisher suddenly grabbed her hand. Yan Zuo Zuo was startled and looked at him in alarm. "Director!"
