Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 496 Why is it him?

"Alright, alright, it's getting late. Guoguo, go to sleep early. I need to rest too." Yan Zuozuo said with a smile, hanging up the phone. She turned around and bumped into a wall of flesh, startled. "H-Honey, you're done showering?"

Waaaaah, did my husband hear something? He's giving me such a mean look.

She took two steps back and forced a guilty smile.

"Talking to Shang Xiaoguo, hmm?"

No way, I really heard it.

"Yes, yes, I was just concerned about her baby... Well, everything's fine, don't worry..." she said as she walked towards the bedroom.

Chi Moqing stretched out his long arm and hugged her tightly. "Wife, guess whether I'm more concerned about the baby in her belly or what I just heard?"

Chi Moqing was only wearing a silk nightgown, his firm and alluring chest muscles exposed. He had just taken a shower and still carried a faint fragrance, making it hard for her to resist.

Yan Zuozuo blushed and said, "I didn't say anything. Who...who told you to always keep things from me..."

She's so pathetic. After so many years of marriage, she can still be easily swayed by her husband.

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "So it's still your husband's fault?"

Chi Moqing acted as if he was in the right, which immediately put Yan Zuozuo in a bad mood. "Aren't you right? If you and Lucy hadn't been seen together, Guoguo wouldn't have called me. She was just reminding me to be careful that you don't get kidnapped."

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "Then it really is my fault. It seems I need to make up for my wife's wounded heart." With that, Chi Moqing picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

Yan Zuozuo gasped sharply: "No need... really no need..."

"It has to be done! My wife would rather believe others than believe in my sincere heart. Since she doesn't need compensation, then she should be prepared to accept the punishment."

"I……"

"Don't refuse!"

"I……"

"And you are not allowed to deny it!"

"I... um!" She just wanted to say that she was wrong and that they could talk about it in their room. Ugh, her husband was so mean.

In the middle of the night, Chi Moqing reached out and pulled his sleeping wife back into his arms, gazing at her tenderly. He had recently received news that J-Master had been in contact with the Ou family several times. Although Ou Luhan hadn't yet appeared, the elders of the Ou family didn't seem to dislike J-Master. Given this situation, was Ou Luhan and her family's chance encounter with him and Lucy really just a coincidence?

Chi Moqing's eyes flickered, his face turning serious.

Late at night, Tong Shili sat alone in a coffee shop. It was quite late, and there were hardly any passersby outside. She had actually arranged to meet Yi Fanxi, but he had refused. Sulking, she sat there for hours, her mind blank, not thinking about anything. When she came to her senses, it was almost 1 a.m. Fortunately, the coffee shop was open until 2 a.m., so she wouldn't have to leave yet.

But there was no one inside except her. The waiters would glance over from time to time, as if worried that something might happen to her. She felt a touch of self-deprecation; over the years, if something had happened to her, even a large group of people probably couldn't have stopped her.

It was almost 1:20 when she got up to leave. Suddenly, a figure flashed into her sight, gentle and handsome.

Bai Ningxuan!

What is he doing here at this time?

She didn't want to attract his attention, so she remained seated. However, Bai Ningxuan still noticed her, walked over to her, and smiled gently, "Haven't had dinner yet, have you? Hmm, perhaps I should say, how about we grab a late-night snack together?"

Tong Shili was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

He didn't find the words abrupt at all. He shrugged, called the waiter, ordered two pastries, and yogurt. "It's so late, I won't have coffee."

Tong Shili looked at him with a complicated expression: "How did you know I was here?"

Bai Ningxuan's lips curled up slightly: "What do you think?"

Tong Shili frowned, then suddenly seemed to realize something, her face darkening as she got up to leave. However, she hadn't taken more than a few steps when she heard Bai Ningxuan say, "Want to guess what my relationship with him is?"

"I am not interested!"

“We were college classmates. Believe me, I know everything about him, definitely more than you do.” Bai Ningxuan took a sip of yogurt. The taste was a little off; he didn’t really like it. He would blacklist this coffee shop next time.

Tong Shili should have left immediately; this was an insult to her. The man she was waiting for actually sent another man to keep her company—what did Yi Fanxi mean by this?

She clenched her fist, but sat back down the next second. She knew it was spineless, but she couldn't help wanting to know everything about him, even though that man had been cruel to her in many ways.

That night, Bai Ningxuan told her a lot: Yi Fanxi never got close to women, even though all sorts of women came one after another to him.

He told her that Yi Fanxi had a drug-addicted adoptive father who had been to rehab several times and whose body was almost rotting away, but he still hadn't kicked the habit. If it weren't for Yi Fanxi's considerable income, her adoptive father would probably be dead by now.

Bai Ningxuan also said that Yi Fanxi values ​​family very much because he has no family. Even though they recognized each other later, it wasn't a true father-son relationship. He was quite pitiful.

If Yi Fanxi truly falls in love with a woman, it will be unforgettable. However, he also values ​​his family, and being his family member is actually quite good, perhaps even better than being his lover.

Bai Ningxuan said a lot, and Tong Shili couldn't remember some of it. But she clearly remembered the gentle look on Bai Ningxuan's face when he spoke. She just looked at him, as if his image had been engraved in her mind, and would pop up very clearly from time to time to disturb her thoughts.

Tong Shili was a little confused. If she had feelings for Bai Ningxuan, then what about her feelings for Yi Fanxi?

Since marrying Shang Xiaoguo, Ou Luhan has switched places with the eldest son of the Ou family. He is in charge of the Asian region, while the eldest son of the Ou family is in charge of the European region. In this way, he is stationed in China for a long time, and Shang Xiaoguo no longer has to leave her hometown.

At this moment, Yan Zuozuo and Bai Ningxuan were sitting in his office discussing a cooperation plan. The Bourbon Group's plans in Asia were very ambitious, and not something that Fan Hua Design could easily swallow up alone. Therefore, bringing in the exceptionally powerful Ou family was the best choice.

Ou Luhan was in a meeting, but she had already instructed her secretary to treat them well.

In the conference room, Ou Luhan had a feeling that something was going to happen today. When Yan Zuozuo asked Shang Xiaoguo to tell him about the negotiation, he felt uneasy. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but he just felt that something was going to happen.

Could it be that Chi Moqing found out about his scheme to get Shang Xiaoguo to call Yan Zuozuo, and that's why he's talking badly about him behind his back?

Ou Luhan was not paying attention in the meeting, feeling uneasy. His intuition was always sharp, and he knew something was about to happen.

When Ou Luhan returned from the meeting, Bai Ningxuan had just entered the restroom, and the two missed each other. Seeing Yan Zuozuo, he immediately grinned, "Little Zuozuo, did you miss me and make up an excuse to come see me?"

Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes: "I just happened to bring someone over today to discuss a collaboration with you. I just don't know if Young Master Ou would be willing to do me the honor."

"Little Zuo Zuo, you're too kind. We're already so familiar with each other, why are you saying you're doing me a favor? Tell me, what kind of lucrative business is this?" At the mention of money, Ou Luhan's eyes lit up. Where did her aristocratic demeanor go?

"Wait a moment, the person who came with me has gone to the restroom." As soon as Yan Zuozuo finished speaking, the office door was pushed open, and Bai Ningxuan walked in.

Holy crap, it's him?!

Ou Luhan tried to leave, but Bai Ningxuan quickly blocked her way. "Young Master Ou, it's been a long time."

Ou Luhan gritted her teeth, glaring at the other person, clearly wanting to kill him. In contrast, Bai Ningxuan smiled calmly and composedly.

Yan Zuozuo looked back and forth between them, wondering what was going on with these two people.

She asked, puzzled, "You two know each other?"

"do not know!"

"know!"

They didn't speak in unison; these two people... are strange!

"Young Master Ou, please give me your guidance." Bai Ningxuan said with a half-smile.

“Not at all.” Ou Luhan gripped the hand tightly through gritted teeth, increasing the pressure considerably. “Mr. Bai is young and promising. He has already taken the position of chief executive of the Bourbon Group at such a young age. I should be the one learning from him.”

Both of them had smiles on their faces, but the veins on their tightly clasped hands were bulging.

Holy crap, could they be best buddies, maybe even lifelong friends?

Yan Zuozuo sensed that the situation was not good, so she coughed twice and said, "Whether you two know each other or not, it is clear that you admire each other. Then the cooperation will be much simpler. Let's begin."

“Okay.” Ou Luhan gave a forced smile, staring intently at Bai Ningxuan.

Bai Ningxuan smiled brightly, but there was a sinister feeling about it.

The two sat down at the same time, their movements perfectly synchronized, regardless of the rhythm. It would be a miracle if they didn't know each other!

"The Bourbon Group is planning to expand into Asia and intends to collaborate with our Fan Hua Design. Young Master Ou knows that Fan Hua Design doesn't have such a large appetite, so we'd like to invite you to join us. Here's the cooperation agreement; Young Master Ou can take a look first, and we can discuss any opinions you may have."

"Is that so?" Ou Luhan glanced coldly at Bai Ningxuan. "What if I don't join?"

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow: "Doesn't Young Master Ou like making money anymore?" Seeing that Ou Luhan was about to speak, she deliberately interrupted, "Or is it that Young Master Ou lacks confidence in cooperating with the Bourbon Group?"

"I lack confidence? Ha, I'm just concerned about someone's feelings, afraid he'll embarrass himself, hmph."

Yan Zuozuo looked at Ou Luhan with amusement. Although she was usually a bit of a goofball, she was absolutely steady and meticulous at work, and invincible. But today, she seemed very strange in front of Bai Ningxuan. Could these two have actually been gay? Her eyes instantly became ambiguous, and it seemed possible no matter how you looked at it.

If Ou San Shao is the queenly bottom, then Mr. Bai is the cunning top. Tsk tsk, what a perfect match.

“If that’s the case, Young Master Ou can rest assured. I’m not going to disappoint you. Didn’t I already prove that a year ago?” Bai Ningxuan smiled broadly.

Just then, Ou Luhan's secretary brought in coffee. Ou Luhan picked it up and took a sip. "It's all just the past, nothing but fleeting romance. I'm enjoying my life with a wife and children now. But Mr. Bai is said to still be all alone, indulging in philandering. Tsk, what a desolate old age."

Yan Zuozuo's eyes lit up; there really was a homoerotic undertone.

"I see. I wonder if Young Master Ou's little wife knows about his so-called romantic affairs. Young Master Ou has truly married a virtuous wife with unparalleled tolerance."

Ou Luhan's face stiffened, then she glared fiercely at Bai Ningxuan, "Mr. Bai had better never get married and have children in this life, otherwise, those old grievances will be brought up again, tsk!"

Bai Ningxuan raised an eyebrow: "Thank you for the advice, Third Young Master Ou. You'd better keep your past well hidden."

"It's easy to talk about."

A crackling sound came from the air, and the smell of gunpowder seemed quite strong.

Tong Shili originally came with Yan Zuozuo and the others because she was the one who negotiated the cooperation project between Fan Hua Design and Bourbon Group. However, she forgot to take an important document halfway through, so she went back. When she came back, she happened to hear their conversation.

Bai Ningxuan looks gentle and refined, could he also be a philandering playboy?

She felt a pang of pain in her heart and subconsciously clenched her fist.
