Chapter 173 Encountering Bad People While Eating
But she still wouldn't admit defeat, reaching out to pinch Chi Moqing's cheeks and saying, "Don't all men like pretty and sexy women? Secretary Park is top-notch, how could I... um!"
Before she could finish speaking, Chi Moqing kissed her tightly. A passionate kiss, as intense as the heavens and earth, as devastating as the seas and rocks, and as dazzling as fireworks, washed over her. Her mind went blank, and Chi Moqing had successfully turned the tables on her.
"Mmm, you bad man!" Yan Zuozuo said coquettishly, her body weak from his kisses, as she leaned against him.
Chi Moqing reluctantly licked her lips, and only let go after a long while. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he said with lingering affection, "Wife, so sweet."
Yan Zuozuo's face flushed red instantly, like a ripe tomato, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
Chi Moqing's body felt like it was on fire as soon as he saw it. It took him a long time to suppress the burning flames within him. He took a deep breath and said, "Wife, I haven't eaten yet. Let's go hunting."
The fire within him hadn't completely subsided, and his voice was deep, husky, and alluring. Yan Zuozuo felt a surge of heat, swallowed hard, pulled away from his embrace, and nodded in agreement.
Chi Moqing was not satisfied, so he reached out and hugged her again until the little flame in his body was completely extinguished. Only then did he let go of her, start the car, and head straight for the snack street.
After parking the car, the two strolled around looking for something to eat. Both sides of the road were lined with snack stalls and restaurants, bustling with people.
Suddenly, Yan Zuozuo stopped in front of a seafood restaurant, looked at Chi Moqing with a half-smile, and said, "You don't eat seafood, huh?"
Chi Moqing affectionately pinched her nose: "Let's go in."
Yan Zuozuo chuckled and walked inside. Because it was crowded at night, she was worried her seat would be taken, so she stayed behind while Chi Moqing went to pick out food. She sat down, watching the tall, slender man from afar; he was so eye-catching wherever he went. Her husband was just too perfect; he was so captivating that she couldn't help but stare.
Yan Zuozuo was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice the dark figure across the street who had been staring at her for a long time.
After Sophie's miscarriage, her relationship with Wang Kaijun drifted further and further apart, but she refused to let go. She neither settled down with Wang Kaijun nor divorced him. She kept making things difficult for both of them.
She met some thugs at the bar today, and planned to go to a hotel after leaving. Anyway, Wang Kaijun didn't care about her; even if she cheated on him, he wouldn't care. In his heart, there was only that little bitch Fu Zixin.
Unexpectedly, as they passed through the food street, they saw Yan Zuozuo sitting alone. Her cold eyes narrowed, and she smiled sinisterly, placing one hand on the thug next to her. "See that woman at the seafood restaurant? She's my friend, a prostitute. Why don't you go over and have some fun?"
Three or four thugs' eyes lit up. They wiped their mouths and said, "Really? She looks really hot. Is she a prostitute?"
"Would I lie to you? If you have a good time tonight, I'll reward you handsomely." Sophie glanced at Yan Zuozuo not far away and smiled maliciously.
With women to play with and money to be made, the thugs were naturally delighted and rushed over to chat them up.
"Beauty!"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Looking up, she saw several men with ill intentions. Their hair was dyed in various colors, they dressed in non-mainstream styles, and they reeked of smoke and alcohol—it was quite unpleasant. She frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"
"Hey, you're putting on quite the act. Are you lonely tonight? How about we brothers keep you company?" As he spoke, one of the men put his hand on her shoulder and sat down to her left. Another man sat to her right, and a third stood behind her.
Yan Zuozuo was startled and suddenly stood up to leave. But she was surrounded by three men. "Oh, so eager? How about we go to that hotel up ahead? The rooms are all booked, I guarantee you'll have a blast."
Yan Zuozuo forcefully shook off their arms that were draped over her shoulders: "Get away, I don't know you!"
Several men laughed loudly: "It's not like you have to know someone to play around. We're all from the same gang, so don't pretend to be innocent."
Yan Zuozuo glared at them: "I don't understand what you're saying. Get out of here, or you'll be in for a world of hurt when my husband comes!"
The men burst into laughter again: "This is getting more and more realistic! These days, all the young ladies are married? Hahaha..."
Yan Zuozuo was frightened and didn't want to pay attention to them. She pushed them away and walked towards Chi Moqing. But the thugs wouldn't let her go and blocked her way. "Don't go. It's fate that we met. Let's see if we play with you or you serve us. Come on, girl." After saying that, one of the thugs suddenly leaned close to her ear and threatened, "Don't be so shameless. Let the brothers use force."
Yan Zuozuo was terrified and struggled desperately, but she was clearly not strong enough. She could only scream, "Mo Qing, husband, save me!"
The thug was startled by her scream and quickly covered her mouth.
Yan Zuozuo bit their fingers and continued to scream, "Help! Robbery! Husband..."
Chi Moqing was selecting seafood when she suddenly heard Yan Zuozuo's voice. She put down her things and walked towards the dining table. A few thugs, seeing that there was indeed a man present, and especially noticing that some people around were already looking over with menacing expressions, hesitated. They exchanged glances, then warned him fiercely, "You'll see!" before running off.
Chi Moqing strode over and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Yan Zuozuo, still shaken, clung tightly to Chi Moqing, trembling, "Just now, a few thugs tried to bully me..."
Chi Moqing held her tighter, his cold eyes narrowing: "Where are you?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "They've already run away..."
Chi Moqing originally intended to go out and acknowledge her, but seeing her trembling all over, he suppressed his anger and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, let's go back."
Yan Zuozuo suppressed her fear, took a deep breath, shook her head and said, "You haven't eaten yet. I was just scared, but I'm fine now. Let's eat first."
"But you..."
"I'm really fine, and I'm actually hungry too." Yan Zuozuo looked up at him and gave him a slight smile, indicating that she was really alright. But her heart was still pounding; she had just been terrified.
Chi Moqing hugged her and led her to choose seafood. He glanced out the window and saw a woman standing not far away, but he couldn't see her face clearly.
Before long, the seafood they ordered was served: lobster, clams, geoduck, grouper, and scallops. Yan Zuozuo was stunned. "So much, we can't finish it, can we?"
Chi Moqing smiled faintly: "Your husband is a strong and healthy man. He has to work hard at night, so naturally he needs to eat more."
Yan Zuozuo didn't react at first, what did it mean to contribute manpower and effort? After a long while, she suddenly slapped Chi Moqing's arm, her face flushed and she said coquettishly, "You're so frivolous!"
Chi Moqing laughed and placed the cooked scallops in front of her. "Try it. It smells good."
Yan Zuozuo took a bite and found it delicious, but while eating, she couldn't help but scold, "Order less next time, it's a waste if you can't finish it."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Chi Moqing said, and then put the peeled lobster on her plate.
Yan Zuozuo picked up a piece of fish for him: "You eat too, aren't you hungry? Don't always worry about me, I can do it myself."
"Wife, am I being rejected?" Chi Moqing looked at her pitifully, appearing aggrieved.
Yan Zuozuo was both annoyed and amused: "Can't I feel sorry for my husband?"
Hearing this, Chi Moqing was amused and quickly finished the fish in his bowl, saying, "As long as my wife is happy."
Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. Remembering the trip to the military compound tomorrow, she said, "Let's go to the supermarket later. The baby's formula is almost gone. Let's also buy some things for Mom and Dad. We'll go there first thing in the morning."
Chi Moqing nodded and smiled, reaching out to wipe the dirt off her face. After a moment, he said, "We'll stay at my parents' place for one night, and then go take our wedding photos on the weekend morning. It's not far from there."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback; she had actually forgotten about it. She looked up at Chi Moqing, her eyes filled with tender affection. It wasn't until Chi Moqing reached out and pinched her that she came back to her senses, gave an awkward laugh, and began to eat heartily.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, the two were already quite full when they finished eating. Yan Zuozuo patted her little belly, pouted and said, "Remember to remind me not to eat tomorrow night, otherwise I'll definitely look terrible in the wedding photos."
"You won't look terrible, at most you'll look like you're pregnant again," Chi Moqing said teasingly, pinching her nose.
"Chi Moqing!" Yan Zuozuo growled, pinching his waist hard. Waaah, he's so mean! He knows exactly what she cares about most, yet he still bullies her like this.
"Hahaha..." Chi Moqing laughed heartily, reaching out to put his arm around her waist, "Even if you're pregnant, you'll still be the most beautiful pregnant woman."
Yan Zuozuo stared at him with wide eyes, then suddenly her eyes dimmed. As soon as she finished her postpartum confinement, Chi Moqing got his tubal ligation, meaning she would never have the chance to have a baby again. It wasn't that she wanted to have more children, but she felt a little wronged for him, seeing him pamper her while she did nothing for him.
"husband……"
"Ok?"
Is there anything I can do for you?
"You've done so much for me, giving me a home and two lovely babies. As long as you stay by my side, that's the greatest achievement."
Yan Zuozuo smiled, her eyes slightly moist. Just as she was about to say something, the few thugs who had just left suddenly came back. They looked like hooligans and were clearly no good.
"Girl, this is your concubine? Are you going to be obedient and go play with us, or are you going to wait until the brothers beat up your concubine before you go with us?"
Yan Zuozuo looked at them, about to speak, when Chi Moqing stopped her, asking coldly, "Who are you, and what do you want?"
Seeing that Chi Moqing was imposing and looked like someone not to be trifled with, the group exchanged glances. But thinking of the money that was about to be in their hands, they continued in a fierce tone, "This is none of your business. If you don't want to get beaten up, get the hell out of here!"
Lao Tzu?
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes: "Apart from my father, no one has ever called me 'I' or 'dad' in front of me. What, are you going to make a move?"
The men were taken aback by his imposing manner, but they couldn't back down easily in order to get the money. They slammed their fists on the table and roared, "What? You think you can fight us?"
Chi Moqing's face darkened, and he glanced outside again. The woman standing in the distance was still there, but the place where she was standing was dimly lit, and he couldn't see her face clearly.
He was definitely acting under someone's orders!
"How much money did she give you? I'll pay double, just tell me her name," Chi Moqing asked calmly.
Not only the men, but even Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. She looked at Chi Moqing in confusion.
One of the men gave Chi Moqing a look of utter contempt: "Ten thousand for each of us brothers, can you afford that?"
Yan Zuozuo was immediately stunned. Had they been bribed?
“Twenty thousand each. If you tell me her name, I’ll pay you another ten thousand each. You’ll do whatever she tells you to do.” Chi Moqing smiled coldly.
