Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 218 Encountering Danger Halfway (1)

That evening, Yan Zuozuo had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom when her phone rang. It was Chi Moqing calling. Her eyes softened, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. "Husband."

Chi Moqing leaned back on the soft sofa, and when he heard Yan Zuozuo's sweet voice on the phone, his heart softened instantly. "Wife, what are you busy with?"

"Just came out of the shower." Yan Zuozuo smiled. "What about you? Did you eat properly?"

"I just had dinner with clients." Feeling a little dizzy from drinking, Chi Moqing rubbed his eyes and asked, "Has Xinyu been giving you any trouble lately?"

Mentioning this, Yan Zuozuo wilted and sighed, saying, "Honey, I don't think I can ever get along with my cousin peacefully in this lifetime. Will you be angry?"

"If I'm going to get angry, it'll be at my cousin, not my wife. Don't overthink it. Since we can't get along, let's keep our distance. We don't see each other that often anyway."

Hearing Chi Moqing say that, Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart. "My husband is so good. By the way, the weather has gotten cooler these past few days. Remember to wear more clothes in the mornings and evenings so you don't get sick, okay?"

"Okay, I'll be there in a few days, don't worry, honey," Chi Moqing said with a smile.

Yan Zuozuo snuggled sweetly in bed, hugging the blanket and chatting on the phone with Chi Moqing. He asked, "Is Sophie's design finished?" Judging by the time, it should be almost done.

"The design drawings are ready, but Sophie has something come up and we can't meet until the day after tomorrow to see if there are any modifications needed to the sample."

"Wasn't it supposed to be needed the day after tomorrow? Why is it only being changed the day after tomorrow?" Chi Moqing was silent for a while, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Unfortunately, he wasn't by Yan Zuozuo's side, and for a moment he was worried but there was nothing he could do.

“I’m also troubled, but as long as it’s not a major overhaul, a day should be enough.” She smiled. “Don’t worry, your wife can handle it.”

"I believe you." Chi Moqing chuckled. "Remember to carry your phone with you at all times, so it's easy to contact you if anything happens."

"Okay, my phone is on standby 24 hours a day, ready for my husband to call and check it anytime."

Chi Moqing smiled indulgently: "Silly girl, I was worried about you."

"I know," Yan Zuozuo smiled brightly, chatted with Chi Moqing for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.

Just then, the nanny brought in a bowl of hot crucian carp soup. This was something Chi Moqing had specifically instructed her to do before leaving, saying that it was good for the body to drink more nourishing soups in the autumn.

Yan Zuozuo took the soup, slowly drank a few sips, and then heard the nanny laugh, "Was that the president on the phone just now? How sweet."

Yan Zuozuo smiled shyly: "Yes, he's very good to me."

"I'm so envious. In my hometown, men are the heads of the household. Let alone doting on their wives, it's considered good if they don't beat or scold them at home." The nanny sighed slightly, and seeing that Yan Zuozuo had finished her soup, she took the bowl and said with a smile, "However, I've worked for several companies here, and it's rare to see someone as good to his wife as the CEO."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Yes, I feel like I'm being spoiled. He's really good to me."

The nanny smiled; working in such a home made her feel very happy.

The next morning, Yan Zuozuo was woken up by a phone call from Ou Luhan, who said that she could meet Su Fei that morning.

She was curious and asked him how he did it. Young Master Ou, in a moment of self-admiration, concluded with Yan Zuozuo's explanation: He sold his looks!

Ou Luhan was so angry that she jumped up and down, yelling and screaming.

Yan Zuozuo delivered the clothes to Su Fei's house, and naturally, Ou Luhan was already there waiting. It was precisely because of Ou Luhan's presence that the meeting with Su Fei went exceptionally smoothly; the clothes only needed some minor alterations.

About an hour later, Yan Zuozuo left Su Fei's house. Throughout the entire ordeal, Su Fei had been highly cooperative. It must be said that the charm of the Third Young Master Ou was truly far-reaching.

After Yan Zuozuo left, Ou Luhan also left quickly. Su Fei wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the purpose behind Ou Sanshao's sudden invitation to meet her. Staring at their departing figures, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.

It seems that Young Master Ou really likes Yan Zuozuo. This is going to be interesting!

Yan Zuozuo returned to the company and quickly dealt with Su Fei's clothes, finally feeling a huge weight lifted from her shoulders. Ou Luhan, using the excuse of helping her, insisted that Yan Zuozuo treat him to a meal, which Yan Zuozuo accepted as a way of returning the favor.

When they ate, Ou Luhan wore the clothes she had customized for him: a gray inner shirt, a beige casual jacket, and gray casual pants. He looked tall and handsome.

The two ate the meal in harmony. Ou Luhan ate her steak with elegant movements, looking at Yan Zuozuo meaningfully, "I want to designate you as my exclusive designer, and from now on I will only wear clothes made by you."

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow: "I'm just an employee. You can talk to the director about this kind of thing."

Ou Luhan snorted coldly: "Fischer is a scumbag who eats people without spitting out the bones. Apart from being ripped off by him, there is no possibility of being refused."

Looking at his arrogant demeanor, Yan Zuozuo found his relationship with Fisher quite amusing. Was this the legendary love-hate relationship? LOL!

"How did you and Sophie meet?" Yan Zuozuo asked curiously, taking a sip of juice.

“Sophie…who is that?” Ou Luhan blinked in confusion, then suddenly slapped her forehead. “Ah, you mean that girl from today? I don’t know her. She just called the Su family and said she wanted to meet her. It’s that simple.”

"..." Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. This really is the unruly Third Young Master Ou. He can do such a heinous thing. Isn't he afraid that the Su family will misunderstand?

After dinner, Ou Luhan drove her home and watched her go inside before lingering for a long time before driving back.

Two days later...

It was Sophie's birthday, and Yan Zuozuo didn't plan to go, but she still wanted to send a gift. So, she went to the mall, bought a gift, and then had it delivered by same-city courier.

Soon, Sophie called, "I received the gift, and I'm very grateful that Mrs. Chi remembered. If Mrs. Chi doesn't mind, why don't we come over to celebrate tonight? After all, you're a good friend of my sister-in-law, and we've already put our past grievances behind us, how about it?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Su Fei brought up Fu Zixin, and the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue became difficult to say. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure if I'll have time tonight. Let's see how things go."

"Is Madam Chi still holding grudges about the past? Why don't you let my sister-in-law go and pick them up herself?"

Yan Zuozuo frowned slightly. Su Fei had already said that, so if she refused again, it would seem unreasonable. After all, Su Fei was Fu Zixin's sister-in-law, and she still had to save face for her.

Although Yan Zuozuo was somewhat wary, she still agreed. However, just in case, she called Fu Zixin beforehand to ask if she was going to attend Su Fei's birthday party.

Fu Zixin nodded helplessly, "I don't know what Su Fei is up to. She suddenly started being nice to me, visiting me at the hospital and inviting me to her birthday party. I didn't want to put Su Kang in an awkward position, so I agreed." After a pause, she suddenly asked, "Did Su Fei invite you too?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded helplessly, "Let's just assume she's reformed. With so many people at the banquet, she wouldn't dare to do anything blatantly."

Fu Zixin was skeptical: "I'll have Su Kang keep an eye on things the whole time, so you should be careful too."

Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly, "If you didn't know better, you'd think we were going to be female secret agents."

Fu Zixin laughed along, but still said seriously, "Be careful."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, chatted for a few more minutes, and then hung up.

After getting off work that evening, she went home, changed her clothes, told the nanny she didn't need to cook for her, and left. The nanny casually asked, "Where is Madam going?"

"It's a friend's birthday, I'm going over for a bit, I'll be right back," she said as she changed her shoes.

The birthday party was held in the banquet hall of the International Building. There were many people there, all of whom were Sophie's friends. There were all sorts of colorful young men and women. The lights were dazzling and the music was deafening. It was practically like a bar.

Yan Zuozuo frowned slightly, found Fu Zixin and Su Kang in the corner, and walked through the crowd to greet them. Soon, Su Fei noticed her and came over with a wine glass, "Mrs. Chi, welcome, welcome."

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Happy birthday." She subtly examined Sophie's clothes. Although they were ballet outfits with a sporty style, the design had been cleverly modified, which matched the banquet quite well.

"Thank you." Sophie handed two glasses of red wine to Yan Zuozuo and Fu Zixin respectively, raised her glass and said, "Consider this a celebratory drink for our reconciliation. I was the one who was wrong before, and I hope you won't compare yourselves to me. Here, I apologize to you both." After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp.

Yan Zuozuo and Fu Zixin exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled.

Seeing their hesitation, Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't you trust me?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "How could that be? The past is the past, let's not talk about it." With that, she drank the red wine.

Fu Zixin also drank it, mainly because she thought that with Su Kang around, Su Fei wouldn't dare to play any tricks.

After finishing his drink, Su Kang looked at the door and asked Su Fei, "Where's Wang Kaijun?"

"He received a call from his workplace on his way here. It seems there's been another incident somewhere, and he's already on his way. He probably won't be able to make it," Sophie shrugged, speaking nonchalantly.

Su Kang frowned, not quite agreeing with her mindset.

After a while, Sophie went over and nodded to them, "I'll go take a look, you guys chat."

"Go ahead and get busy." Yan Zuozuo and Fu Zixin found a place to sit down and started chatting.

Before long, Fu Zixin started to feel sleepy. She yawned and said, "I probably didn't sleep well last night taking care of Bao'er. I'm sleepy now. I guess I'm getting old."

Su Kang glanced at her worriedly and said, "Let's go back and get some rest."

Fu Zixin nodded, looked at Yan Zuozuo and said, "You should go back too. It's getting late, and President Chi isn't home. Go back and rest early; you have to go to work tomorrow."

Yan Zuozuo had originally come for Fu Zixin, but since Fu Zixin had said so, she had no interest in staying any longer. "Let's tell Su Fei and leave."

“She’s busy right now, I’ll talk to her later,” Su Kang said, glancing at Sophie who was having a great time with her friends not far away.

"Alright then, let's go." Yan Zuozuo grabbed her bag and went out with them.

Although Sophie was drinking and chatting with her friends, her eyes were always on this side. When she saw Yan Zuozuo and the others leave, a sinister smile slowly crept onto her lips.
