Chapter 237 It Was Discovered After All
Chi Moqing turned his head and saw that Yan Zuozuo looked preoccupied. He thought she was upset about the meal, so he reached out and patted her head, saying, "Wife, our meal didn't cost any money, so don't worry about it, sweetie."
When Yan Zuozuo met Chi Moqing's concerned gaze, she was taken aback. She quickly shook her head. "I'm not worried about the cost of food. I'm just..." She paused abruptly. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just work. I'm a little tired."
Chi Moqing didn't believe her story, but he didn't want to press her for answers, lest he frighten her again like last time. So, he just smiled and said, "If you're tired, take a break, or I'll feel sorry for you."
Yan Zuozuo felt a tenderness in her heart. It was precisely this unintentional care that made her increasingly inseparable from him. Sometimes, even she wondered if Chi Moqing weren't so good to her, would she be able to leave without any regrets?
Soon, they arrived home. Chi Moqing put his arm around her and whispered in her ear, "Wife, it's getting late. Let's wash up and go to bed."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zuozuo's face flushed red. She understood Chi Moqing's implication, and struggled slightly before saying, "I...I'm going to take a shower..."
She turned and ran, but no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't outrun Chi Moqing. The next second, he picked her up, his hot breath spraying on her face. He teased, "Let's wash together, two people can get clean."
Yan Zuozuo was embarrassed. What kind of theory was this? She had never heard of it before. But Chi Moqing clearly didn't give her a chance to refuse and carried her towards the bathroom.
Halfway through her shower, Chi Moqing's phone rang, forcing the CEO to quickly finish and go outside to answer it. Yan Zuozuo chuckled to herself, taking advantage of the CEO's phone call to quickly get herself clean and fresh, lest he have any ulterior motives and another hour of washing up.
After showering, she didn't see Chi Moqing when she came out of the bathroom; he must have gone to the study to answer the phone. She sat down at her vanity, applied a face mask, and was just about to turn on the TV when her phone rang.
She glanced at the number; it was Meng Xinyu again!
She panicked, worried that Chi Moqing might suddenly come in, so she quickly hid in the bathroom to answer the phone, "Is something wrong?"
Meng Xinyu gritted her teeth on the other end of the phone: "Yan Zuozuo, are you feeling smug? You're clinging to my cousin with one hand and flirting with another man with the other. Have you no shame at all!"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Meng Xinyu's scolding ignited her anger. "What I do is my business, it's none of your concern. If you're envious and jealous, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent!"
"You shameless woman, how could you say such a thing? Aren't you afraid I'll expose your true colors in front of my cousin?" Meng Xinyu's chest heaved with anger, wishing she could strangle Yan Zuozuo.
She had known since childhood that she wasn't his biological child, so even though Chi Moqing was her cousin, she never suppressed her feelings for him. However, her cousin had never shown any interest in her, and she wasn't desperate for him, which is why she hadn't pursued him relentlessly over the years. More importantly, her cousin didn't have any other close women around him, so she felt at ease.
But things are different now, especially after witnessing her cousin's doting affection for Yan Zuozuo today. She's absolutely consumed with jealousy. Her cousin is clearly hers alone, and all that romance and pampering should be hers too. Why should that bitch Yan Zuozuo take it all away from her?!
She was consumed by jealousy, and the more she thought about it that night, the angrier she became. Finally, she couldn't resist calling Yan Zuozuo. She wanted to see Yan Zuozuo trembling with fear and panic, not her current arrogant and domineering demeanor.
Yan Zuozuo took a deep breath. Now that she had decided to leave Chi Moqing, she was no longer so terrified by Meng Xinyu's threats. She sneered, "Then go ahead and expose me. At worst, we'll both die. Don't even think about threatening me with that little bit of nonsense!"
Meng Xinyu's heart skipped a beat. When Yan Zuozuo mentioned dying together, her first thought was of her car accident. If that incident were to be exposed, given the current social pressure, even her mother would likely be helpless. Therefore, she felt a bit more wary of Yan Zuozuo. Because in her mind, the mysterious man who threatened her was sent by Yan Zuozuo.
She gritted her teeth: "Don't be so arrogant. If you piss me off, I won't care about anything!"
"Very well, in that case, you don't need to call me anymore. Do whatever you want." Yan Zuozuo hung up the phone after saying that. She was now just a woman with nothing. If Meng Xinyu wanted to be ruthless, then so be it. She had nothing left to lose. As long as she didn't implicate Chi Moqing, she was willing to be disgraced!
Meng Xinyu stared at her disconnected call, her face turning ashen with rage. That despicable woman, Yan Zuozuo, how dare she treat her like this? Did she really think she wouldn't dare to deal with her? She was just a little orphan; killing her would be a piece of cake!
If it weren't for her cousin protecting her, she would have already attacked her. She would never let that bitch get away with it. Whether it's Young Master Ou or her cousin, they can only be hers!
Meng Xinyu trembled with rage, hating Yan Zuozuo to the core. Similarly, Yan Zuozuo wasn't feeling much better. She hid in the bathroom, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and it took her a long time to suppress her anger.
She came out of the bathroom, patted her face. She didn't have much time left with Chi Moqing. No matter what, she hoped that these last days would be happy, so she absolutely couldn't let anyone or anything affect her. She had to be happy!
Chi Moqing came in from the study a while later. When he saw that Yan Zuozuo was already in bed, a sly smile slowly appeared on his lips. He pounced on her and said, "Wife, you've already taken a bath and are waiting for your husband. You're so good." As he spoke, he kissed her hard on the cheek.
Yan Zuozuo's face turned bright red, and she struggled slightly, trying to push him away. But Chi Moqing held her tighter and tighter, and soon took advantage of Yan Zuozuo's lack of cooperation.
Yan Zuozuo was exhausted from being tossed and turned until midnight. She was so tired that she didn't want to move a single finger and quickly fell into a deep sleep. She didn't even hear Chi Moqing take her phone from under her pillow and quietly leave the house.
In the living room, Chi Moqing opened Yan Zuozuo's phone and easily found the recordings that Yan Zuozuo didn't want to show. He discovered this because he had just finished a phone call and was preparing to raid his beloved wife when he inadvertently overheard her making a phone call…
Meng Xinyu, recording...
While he was away, what did Meng Xinyu do to upset his wife?
He heard their conversation clearly. His wife seemed very agitated, and the situation was likely to affect him, which made her hesitant to act rashly.
Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes. It seemed he had been far too lenient with his cousin! How dare she lay a hand on his wife? She had better be prepared to pay the price!
The next day, when Yan Zuozuo woke up, Chi Moqing was cooking in the kitchen. The tall and handsome CEO Chi was wearing a small apron and was busy in the kitchen. The scene was a little funny, but it made her feel very happy.
"Wife, you're awake? Breakfast will be ready soon, go wash up first." Chi Moqing turned around and smiled at her. Yan Zuozuo was almost electrocuted. President Chi's charm was too strong, her little heart couldn't handle it.
She quickly went to wash up, hoping to calm her wildly beating, infatuated heart. Two years into their marriage, she found her resistance to Chi Moqing hadn't increased; in fact, it had weakened. Just a simple smile from him was enough to make her swoon. She was so pathetic. She splashed water on her face and gave herself a disdainful look in the mirror.
When she finished washing up and came out, Chi Moqing had already set breakfast on the table and beckoned her to come and eat. Yan Zuozuo walked over blankly, and under Chi Moqing's deliberate coaxing, she ate much more than usual for breakfast. Only then did Chi Moqing pinch her cheek with satisfaction: "You should eat more, it feels better when you're fat."
"..." Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. Was this still the serious and earnest President Chi she knew? She felt that he was getting worse and worse, and that he was completely wicked inside and out.
After dinner, Chi Moqing drove her to work. At the company entrance, they ran into several colleagues who all cast envious and jealous glances at her. This made Yan Zuozuo feel helpless. "President Chi can check up on me from now on, but please don't do anything earth-shattering again, or I'll definitely be killed by other people's stares."
Chi Moqing chuckled and couldn't resist pinching her rosy, delicate cheeks again. "Don't women all like these envious and jealous looks from others?"
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes: "You talk as if President Chi understands women so well. Hmph, tell me honestly, have you been having an affair?"
Chi Moqing laughed heartily: "Don't worry, apart from my wife, no one can attract your husband." As he spoke, he pinched her cheek again. Yan Zuozu seriously suspected that she had gained weight recently, otherwise why would President Chi like to pinch her cheek so much?
As soon as she entered the office, she noticed many people casting strange glances at her. She felt helpless, worried that after President Chi put on that show, she would become a public enemy of women.
"Good morning, Miss Yan." She had just entered the tea room to make coffee when she saw Qin Yun walk in.
"Good morning, Deputy Director." She greeted her with a smile.
Qin Yun glanced at the coffee she had made and frowned. "You made instant coffee for the director?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded. She'd been tricked by Zheng Yuyan about this a long time ago. Later, she'd cautiously inquired about Fisher's preferred coffee, only to find out it was anything. Turns out, she'd been fooled by Zheng Yuyan. If Qin Yun intended to pull the same trick, she could only apologize and decline.
To his surprise, Qin Yun not only had no objection, but also said, "Whatever coffee you give the director in the future, please give me a cup too, thank you."
Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded. What was going on?
However, before she could figure it out, she heard Qin Yun ask, "Was that person yesterday your husband?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded, not wanting to have too much personal interaction with Qin Yun, and simply gave a vague reply.
Qin Yun raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a half-smile. "Miss Yan's husband is quite handsome. Although the director is about the same in appearance, he clearly falls short in terms of presence and charm. I'm just curious, why doesn't Miss Yan live a good life with such a good man and instead cheats on him? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Yan Zuozuo raised her eyes and looked at her in surprise. Was this a decision to make things clear and tear off the mask of civility?
She pouted, clearly not calm.
