Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 222 Fisher's Secret

Yan Zuozuo smiled sheepishly. She felt very embarrassed to lie openly in front of Fisher.

Fisher understood and blinked innocently: "I'm hard of hearing sometimes, so don't worry about me too much."

Yan Zuozuo felt increasingly awkward, stirring her coffee guiltily and remaining silent with her eyes lowered.

"Are you planning to tell President Chi?" Fisher asked.

Yan Zuozuo's heart suddenly trembled, and she instinctively shook her head.

“If we wait for Meng Xinyu to speak first, this matter will only become more complicated. It would be better to be honest and let it go,” Fisher suggested, frowning.

Yan Zuozuo smiled bitterly. Of course, she knew that confessing was the best course of action, but the consequence of confessing could very well be losing Chi Moqing. Although Chi Moqing loved her very much, could he really be completely indifferent to such a scandal?

Even she herself couldn't accept it, let alone Chi Moqing. To put it bluntly, she had cheated on him; how could she dare to confess?

The more you care, the more afraid you are of losing it...

"Director, thank you. I'll handle it myself, I..." Yan Zuozuo hadn't finished speaking when her phone rang again.

She glanced at the name on the screen and turned pale.

Mengxinyu!

She unconsciously gripped her phone tighter, even finding it hard to breathe. Gritting her teeth, she took a deep breath, her fingers trembling as she swiped to unlock the screen. What was coming was bound to happen sooner or later; she couldn't escape it.

"What do you want to say?" Yan Zuozuo asked bluntly.

"Oh, you've got a pretty sharp tongue. You cheated on my cousin and you still think you're right?" Meng Xinyu said sarcastically, blowing on her newly done red nail polish. "But you really don't need to worry, I don't plan to tell anyone about this yet."

What tricks are you trying to pull?

Meng Xinyu smiled eerily: "Don't rush, I have a gift for you. Listen to it first, and then decide how to talk to me." She hung up the phone, a sinister smile gleaming in her eyes.

Yan Zuozuo, blame yourself for stealing the man I like. I'll make you regret this time!

Even if she doesn't get Young Master Ou, Yan Zuozuo won't have an easy time either!

She sneered. So what if her cousin had spoiled her before? What man could accept his wife cheating on him? Yan Zuozuo could just wait to be dumped by her cousin.

Meng Xinyu's lips curled into a sinister smile, and she quickly transmitted the conversation she had recorded at Ou Luhan's villa to Yan Zuozuo. Almost simultaneously with hearing the conversation, Yan Zuozuo's face turned deathly pale.

That was her conversation with Ou Luhan when she first woke up; it contained Ou Luhan's exact words admitting that they slept together. Although none of this was true, anyone who heard it would misunderstand.

If this recording gets out...

She might not care about her own reputation, but she couldn't afford to disregard Chi Moqing's. If this recording were to be leaked, it would definitely affect Chi Moqing's reputation, and might even threaten the career he had painstakingly built up.

She can't drag him down with her!

Yan Zuo's palms were sweating profusely. Worry, fear, and terror washed over her; all the negative emotions rushed in. Even if she were treated like a rat in the street, hated by everyone, she wouldn't be afraid; at most, it would just be a nasty insult. But Chi Moqing was different. He was the president of Chi Corporation, a man at the very top of the pyramid, with a bright future ahead of him. But if she were to affect him…

She bit her lip hard, took off her headphones, and sat there blankly, looking terrified, as if she had lost her soul.

Because she was listening to the recording with headphones on, Fisher didn't hear it. However, seeing Yan Zuozuo's frightened appearance, he couldn't help but worry. He held her hand tightly and asked anxiously, "Zuozuo, what's wrong?"

He reached for her phone, but Yan Zuozuo suddenly pushed him away, saying excitedly, "No, don't... I'm fine, nothing's wrong..."

How could she be alright? She looked like she was about to collapse. Fisher felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at her.

He gave up everything to come to China, to be by her side, all to protect her. Yet, he allowed her to be harmed right under his nose. Fisher hated himself, and he hated everyone involved.

He clenched his fist. No matter what, he would not let anyone who hurt Yan Zuozuo get away with it!

He reached out and held her hand tightly. For ten whole years, he had silently watched her, observing her transformation from an innocent little girl into a pure and naive young woman, witnessing her heartbreak and how she persevered alone. For ten years, he had kept this secret to himself, never uttering a word to anyone. His close friends knew he was attracted to a certain type of woman, even those women who bore some resemblance to her. But no one knew that those women were merely substitutes for her…

For a full ten years, he liked her and loved her, and that never changed.

From the moment he was injured while speeding in China in his youth and reckless youth, and was rescued by her at such a young age, he kept her in his heart. He watched her grow up, waited for her to mature, and dreamed of marrying her one day.

However, in the blink of an eye, she already had a boyfriend. Twenty-year-old Yan Zuozuo's eyes were only for Qi Jiahui. He loved her and wanted her to be happy, so he silently blessed her and never appeared by her side.

Until Qi Jiahui met He Xinrui, she became Chi Moqing's wife overnight. Everything happened so fast that he almost lost her before he could react.

The moment he learned of Yan Zuozuo's marriage, he traveled a long way to China, begging Yan's mother for Yan Zuozuo's contact information. He told her he truly loved Yan Zuozuo. But no matter how much he pleaded, Yan's mother refused, simply saying that Yan Zuozuo was married and that he should give up. He was unwilling to accept this, so he secretly observed Yan Zuozuo for a long time until he was certain she was doing well, before finally leaving sadly.

Why can he and she only ever miss each other? She is the woman he loves, but she never sees him.

He couldn't bear to see her hurt or in a difficult situation, so he kept his love for her a secret. So when she hated Mu Yaoqian but was helpless, he directly found someone to help her get rid of her.

He had thought that seeing her happy would make him happy. However, the moment he saw her with Ou Luhan, he nearly went crazy. He realized he wasn't as noble as he thought; seeing her so frightened, all he wanted was to hold her in his arms and protect her.

So Fisher made a decision: this time, he wouldn't miss it again!

"Zuo Zuo, don't be afraid. Tell me what happened, and I'll help you figure it out." Fisher looked at her. If he wasn't worried about her being frightened, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and take good care of her.

However, now that he had made up his mind, he was going to be patient and slowly launch his offensive. He believed that with persistent effort, he would eventually bring her happiness.

Yan Zuozuo shook her head with a dazed look in her eyes, gripping her phone tightly. It was all her fault; she was sure she would implicate Chi Moqing. What should she do now?

"Zuo Zuo?" Seeing her struggling in her own painful thoughts, Fisher was extremely anxious. "Has someone threatened you? Tell me, and I'll help you solve it."

Yan Zuozuo looked at him blankly, meeting Fisher's sincere eyes. She hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should tell Fisher, since he genuinely cared about her.

She lowered her eyes, as if struggling with a decision, but after a long while, she still shook her head and refused, "Director, I'm really fine, I can handle it myself... I'm tired, I want to go back now, thank you for keeping me company..."

Fisher's eyes darkened. Yan Zuozuo's expression and tone clearly showed that she treated him like an outsider. His heart ached, and he took a deep breath and said, "Zuozuo, don't you know what kind of person your master is? You can tell me about any difficulties you have, and I can help you solve all your problems."

Fisher addressed her as "Master," which startled Yan Zuozuo. But she still didn't accept his offer. What difference would it make if she told him? It was too late to undo what had happened…

She smiled faintly: "Thank you, I'm really fine. Director, I have to go back now, you can go and get back to work too."

"I send you."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I want to walk alone, Director. I'm very confused. Can you let me have some peace and quiet?"

Fisher looked at her worriedly, and finally could only sigh helplessly, "Okay, but you have to promise me that you will tell me anything, and don't be shy with me."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips and remained silent.

Fisher felt a pang of sadness seeing her like that. After a pause, he said, "From now on, when it's just the two of us, I hope you can call me by my name."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, her expression somewhat strange.

Fisher felt a little disappointed seeing her blank expression, but he thought there was still a long way to go, and they could take it slow. He patted her hand and said, "No matter what happens, I'll always be on your side. Trust me."

Yan Zuozuo nodded blankly, remained silent for a while, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go first, you go ahead and get busy too."

Fisher watched her departing figure, a dark glint in his eyes. Whether it was Sophie or Meng Xinyu, since they dared to hurt the woman he loved, neither of them would get away with it!

Fisher returned to the company and heard whispers among the staff. Before he could ask what was going on, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a loud bang, followed by Lu Yaoyao rushing in.

"Master, have you heard any of the rumors going around outside?"

Fisher raised an eyebrow at him and said in a low voice, "If you have something to say, close the door first."

Lu Yaoyuan scratched his head in frustration and slammed the office door shut. When Chi Moqing left, he repeatedly told him to take good care of his sister-in-law. Now, rumors were spreading that she was being defamed. How was he going to explain this to Chi Moqing, who was about to return to the country?

“Tell me what happened,” Fisher asked, staring at him.

Lu Yaoyuan slumped onto the sofa, looking dejected. "I don't know who started this rumor this morning, but they said my sister-in-law is having an affair with Young Master Ou and is cheating on Chi Moqing. God, if Chi Moqing finds out about this, he'll definitely kill me!"

Why did Meng Xinyu act so quickly?

A dark glint flashed in Fisher's eyes. She was planning to completely destroy Yan Zuozuo, that vicious woman!

"Master, you must think of something! My sister-in-law's reputation can't be ruined like this. It's a small matter if I get beaten up, but I can't ruin my sister-in-law's reputation!" Lu Yaoyuan was practically going crazy.

Fisher pursed his lips and frowned slightly. "I understand. You go back to work. I'll handle things."

"What method?" Lu Yaoyuan asked, still worried.

Fisher looked up, a cold glint in his eyes: "You don't trust your master? Get out there and get to work!"

Lu Yuanyuan knew this was a sign that Fisher was about to get angry, and even though he was very uneasy, he still obediently closed the door and left.

Waaaaah, Master, you absolutely have to help my sister-in-law this time!
