Chapter 480 Strange Request
Chapter 480 Strange Request
Chu Xinyuan never dreamed she would one day fall to such a state. The man before her both loved and feared her, almost suffocating her.
Even if Chi Moqing hadn't spoken to him today, he could still have made her suffer a terrible fate, and her father had no reason to protect her. Indeed, as he said, his presence here today was entirely out of respect for his father.
Chu Xinyuan had mixed feelings, and finally said, "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back to the hospital first."
Chi Moqing gave Jian Ning a wink, and Jian Ning followed, saying, "I'll take Miss Chu with me."
Chu Xinyuan's eyes widened for a moment, then she nodded: "Thank you..." She had completely lost the imposing manner she had shown just now.
After she left, Chi Moqing's phone rang. It was a blank number, and a weary voice came from the other end of the line, "Moqing, this matter has put you in a difficult position, making it hard for you to compromise with that girl Zuo Zuo."
Chi Moqing chuckled: "Grandpa is joking. I was just planning to do the same thing, after all, Elder Chu has been kind to me."
That being said, Snowden was well aware of Yan Zuozuo's importance to Chi Moqing. No matter how powerful Chu Xinyuan's backing was, Chi Moqing had no intention of letting anyone who dared to harm Yan Zuozuo off easily. However, since he was the one who spoke up, and Old Master Chu had indeed done him a favor, this could be considered a concession on his part.
"By the way, how's the situation with the Zha Sha organization going?"
Chi Moqing's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. "Regardless of whether the Zha Sha organization falls into Dorje Dawa's hands, this organization cannot be eradicated for the time being. Foreign forces want to infiltrate our country, and the Zha Sha organization is a powerful stronghold. We still need to deal with them for a while to prevent some people from becoming desperate and harming the people."
Snowden nodded: "Indeed, eradicating terrorist organizations is the responsibility of the whole world. This is in your country, so it's not convenient for me to get involved. But if you need help, you can let me know. After all, J is an international criminal."
"Thank you Grandpa."
Snowden paused for a moment, then said, "My information is that J's approach is very different from before. You need to pay close attention to the Zasha organization. Although Dorje Dawa has an agreement with you, he is ultimately one of them."
This is a gamble, and we must be extremely careful. One wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
“I understand, but when does Grandpa plan to go back? It’s not safe for you to be out there alone.” Chi Moqing frowned. He only got in touch with Snowden after the incident involving Chu Xinyuan. He had been receiving messages from him intermittently since then, but Snowden had instructed him not to tell anyone, so he could only keep it from Adrian for the time being.
"Let's wait a little longer, I still have some things to take care of." With that, Snowden hung up.
It was already 3 PM when Chi Moqing left the coffee shop. He was just about to go home when his phone rang. It was Leng Yan calling. He frowned slightly, "What's up?"
Hearing Chi Moqing's cold voice, Leng Yan's heart turned icy. Thinking of how he protected Yan Zuozuo, she felt a mixture of envy and jealousy. Although he was cruel to her, she also fantasized that if she were the one marrying him today, he would protect her in the same way.
"Can't I make a phone call if there's nothing wrong? I thought I was someone you were protecting right now," Leng Yan said coldly.
"You are a key protected individual of the state, not mine."
His cold words simply plunged Leng Yan into hell. She bit her lip, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. Did he really hate her that much?
She clenched her fist. She couldn't lose control; she had to stay calm. Chi Moqing liked calm women. As long as she stayed by his side, she still had a chance.
Leng Yan didn't think she had done anything wrong. What was wrong with pursuing the man she liked? Her mistake was that her methods were too obvious, which led to Chi Moqing finding out. Regardless, she was willing to pay any price to get Chi Moqing!
"Mo Qing, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay? I promise I'll never do anything like this again. Can you come over and talk to me more often? I'm so bored by myself." Leng Yan felt that these were the most insincere and disgusting things she had ever said in her life.
"Sorry, I don't have time," Chi Moqing refused directly.
Leng Yan paused for a moment: "Then you can at least call me, right?"
"Aside from official business, there's no need."
Leng Yan tightened her grip on her phone, suppressing all her anger before speaking, "Okay, goodbye then."
Can't she even admit her mistake? She gritted her teeth, no rush, there's plenty of time later!
Chi Moqing stared at his phone and sneered. This woman actually apologized? I'm afraid her motives aren't pure.
In the office, Yan Zuozuo stared blankly at the man in front of her for a long while. It wasn't until Yi Fanxi called her again that she came back to her senses. "I thought we would never see each other here again."
Yi Fanxi still had a handsome and aloof face, sitting opposite Yan Zuozuo, exuding an unparalleled air of superiority. He stared at Yan Zuozuo's face and had to admit that her gentleness and kindness were so much like his departed mother, making him wish he could protect her and make up for his past weakness and helplessness in being unable to protect his mother.
Yes, his feelings for Yan Zuozuo were merely a regret from the past, not romantic love, much less a deep and profound affection between a man and a woman.
Love between men and women...
When he thought of this word, Jusie's cute and spoiled face flashed through his mind. Was all his reluctance to let her go the true meaning of love?
Love... Having witnessed his mother's infatuation and his father's heartlessness, he thought he would never fall in love again. But it turns out that when true love arrives, no one can stop it. He suddenly felt an involuntary understanding of Fisher; perhaps this was the feeling he was experiencing.
"I just came to verify something, and now I have the answer."
"Huh?" Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. He had only been sitting in front of her for two minutes, and she already had the answer. What did that mean?
“There’s something else,” Yi Fanxi said.
Yan Zuozuo feels that her IQ has been malfunctioning lately, and she seems to be unable to keep up with other people's thinking. Is this really the legendary "pregnancy brain" that lasts for three years?
"You said."
"These are some clothing design sketches. You should deliberately let Tong Shili see them under the guise of a mysterious person." With that, Yi Fanxi handed her the design sketches.
Yan Zuozuo took the drawing and glanced at it. Both the design and color scheme were absolutely novel and unique; it was a rare and excellent piece. She looked at Yi Fanxi curiously: "Why?"
“This is a secret between Tong Shili and me, and I hope you can understand.” He paused, then added, “Don’t worry, it will absolutely not cause you any harm.”
"Business is business. What benefit would I gain from doing this?" She trusted Yi Fanxi's character.
"All revenue is designed with elaborate patterns; I believe the director should be able to see the value of these designs."
Yan Zuozuo frowned. Indeed, if these designs were made into ready-made garments, they would absolutely be unparalleled, even causing a sensation in the design world. No wonder they were created by an internationally renowned design master; these designs were truly rare. In Yan Zuozuo's mind, these designs must be the work of Yi Fanxi.
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing for Shili?" Yan Zuozuo pondered for a moment before asking.
"Able to save her from dire straits."
Yan Zuozuo laughed. Although she didn't know what riddle Yi Fanxi and Tong Shili were playing, since Yi Fanxi had spoken up and it wasn't a bad thing for Tong Shili, she might as well do him a favor.
Seeing that Yan Zuozuo had agreed, Yi Fanxi nodded and got up to leave.
Yan Zuozuo suddenly stopped him: "There's something I'm curious about. In your heart, is Shili more important or Judy?"
If Yi Fanxi liked Tong Shili, she wondered if she should try to persuade Judy, since that girl was Snowden's granddaughter, and she liked her quite a bit.
Upon hearing Yan Zuozuo's words, Yi Fanxi paused on the doorknob, then said calmly, "A different kind of existence." With that, he left.
Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a while. What did she mean by "different existence"? She could sense that Yi Fanxi had some romantic feelings for that girl Zhu Xi. If he liked Zhu Xi, then what was Tong Shili?
There are only family, friendship, love and gratitude in this world. Surely it can't be family?
In the supermarket, Chi Moqing meticulously selected every item, his attention to detail surpassing even that of a professional housewife. Jian Ning followed behind, utterly bewildered by the supermarket's appeal; the items were all the same, so she could just grab whatever she could and leave. Over an hour had passed, and her boss seemed completely unfazed.
"Commander, let me carry it for you." Although Jian Ning was already carrying quite a few things, she still snatched the things from Chi Moqing's hands.
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "You don't need to come with me. I'll give you half a day off. Go back now."
"No need, I prefer spending time with the commander." He'd rather wander aimlessly in the supermarket than go back. His wife is pregnant, and all his relatives have come to visit, making the house incredibly lively. It's not that he dislikes them, he just doesn't know how to deal with them, and the thought of going home gives him a headache.
Seeing his expression, Chi Moqing understood the situation pretty well. He shook his head and smiled, "No wonder your wife is upset with you. You're just being sneaky."
Jian Ning chuckled and followed Chi Moqing to buy meat. The price of black pork had recently skyrocketed, and she'd heard it was incredibly good, so Chi Moqing planned to buy a lot to freeze at home. He also wanted to buy some beef and lamb; his wife was pregnant and had become quite picky about food, so he needed to prepare various cuts. Oh, and some big bones too, to make soup.
Chi Moqing is good-looking, and young girls often stare at her when she walks in the supermarket, some even wanting her phone number. Married women and older women also glance at her occasionally, their eyes filled with a mixture of admiration and regret.
Chi Moqing was already used to the stares and flirting around him, so he ignored them completely. Instead, he kept looking at the piece of meat that caught his eye, thinking that he hoped it wouldn't be sold so he could make sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles at home.
After waiting in line for a while, just as it was his turn to get the meat, an arm suddenly lunged out to grab the piece he had his eye on. Chi Moqing frowned, and when he looked up, he met the gaze of a blonde, blue-eyed beauty. His expression was cold.
The beautiful woman noticed Chi Moqing was about to pick up that piece of meat. She glanced at him coldly, but only for a second before a look of amazement flashed in her eyes. Chi Moqing frowned, turned his head away, and picked up another piece. The beautiful woman's eyes dimmed slightly. She glanced at him again before finally picking up the meat.
When it came time to pay, Chi Moqing was in line behind the beautiful woman. It turned out she had forgotten her wallet, and glanced back at him, saying, "Sir, could you perhaps…?"
Chi Moqing handed the card to the cashier: "Let's settle the bill together."
The woman's eyes lit up, a glint of something special in them. As they walked out of the supermarket, she caught up with him a few steps later, saying, "Sir, thank you so much. Can I have your phone number? I'll pay you back later."
