Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 408 Hospitalized

"Wife...wife..." In the illusory world, Yan Zuozuo seemed to see Chi Moqing walking towards her, the sun shining brightly, just like the warm smile on his face.

"Honey, you're back!" Yan Zuozuo ran over excitedly and snuggled into Chi Moqing's arms.

Chi Moqing held her tightly, as if she were a lost treasure that had been found again. Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart; she had finally waited for him to return. She held him tightly, wanting never to be separated again.

However, why is Chi Moqing's figure becoming increasingly blurry, as if he is about to leave her again?

"Husband, husband, where are you going... Don't go..." Yan Zuozuo hugged him tightly, not letting him leave. But Chi Moqing's shadow became more and more ethereal, and she could no longer even see his face clearly.

"Mo Qing... Chi Mo Qing... Husband..." Don't go, don't leave him again!

Yan Zuozuo kept calling out, but Chi Moqing's figure became increasingly ethereal. What was happening? Did Chi Moqing no longer want her? Yan Zuozuo felt as if her heart was being torn apart and wanted to hold him tightly, but Chi Moqing became more and more indistinct.

"Husband, don't go...please..."

No, don't go!

Yan Zuozuo felt as if her heart had been hollowed out. As Chi Moqing's figure disappeared, she screamed hysterically.

How could Chi Moqing not want her? She couldn't believe it was true.

"Don't go, husband, don't go!" she cried out anxiously, but she couldn't call Chi Moqing back. The surrounding light seemed to dim, and suddenly everything was pitch black.

"Husband!" Yan Zuozuo exclaimed, suddenly opening her eyes, the blinding white light being the first thing she saw.

This is where?

It took her a while to come to her senses. She frowned slightly, realizing from the surroundings that she must be in a hospital. A sharp pain shot through her; she clutched her stomach and cried out in pain. What was happening?

"You're awake?" A detached voice came from beside me; it sounded somewhat familiar.

She instinctively looked towards the source of the voice, then froze. "How come it's you?"

At the same time, she remembered what had happened before, and a hint of wariness appeared in her eyes. Suddenly, her body tensed up, and she subconsciously checked her clothes. Only when she found them intact did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Where is Fisher? Why am I in the hospital?"

Meng Yuanfei didn't answer her question, but said calmly, "The effects of the medicine on your body haven't worn off yet, so lie down and rest more. Also..." He glanced at her, "You have a duodenal ulcer, so you'll probably have to stay in the hospital for a while."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, only then remembering that she had been experiencing stomach aches frequently lately.

Meng Yuanfei looked at her with a complicated expression: "Yan Zuozuo, you have to do your work, but you can't push yourself too hard."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "I understand."

"If you can't even take care of your own health, how can you handle the affairs of the branch? Health is the foundation of everything. I hope this is the last time you make yourself look so disheveled."

Hearing Meng Yuanfei's reprimand, Yan Zuozuo nodded, "I remember, but how did I get to the hospital? Also, what are the effects of the medicine? I didn't understand."

Meng Yuanfei stared at her for a long time before finally saying, "This is your problem, you should ask yourself. Take a good rest during this time, I will handle the company's affairs for you for the time being."

Yan Zuozuo initially wanted to be strong, but a faint protest came from her stomach. She subconsciously touched the painful spot and had no choice but to nod. She couldn't let Chi Moqing know about this, or he would worry again.

Thinking of Chi Moqing, she misses him terribly, wondering where he is and how he is doing.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she sniffed as she asked, "How long will I need to stay in the hospital?"

She was going home to stay that night, and if Chi Moqing called home and she didn't answer, he would definitely worry.

"It depends on what the doctor says."

Will she be staying for a long time? Then she needs to keep her phone on at all times, otherwise Chi Moqing will definitely be worried if he can't reach her.

Yan Zuozuo nodded, still finding it strange, "Mr. Meng, what are you doing here, and what about the medicine I have on me..."

Meng Yuanfei sat on the chair next to him: "When you told me you were going to see Yao Ziqian, I felt something was off, so I followed you. I have to apologize to you. I was following you the whole time, and then I saw you being knocked unconscious, like something bad was about to happen. I rushed in and saved you. When you got to the hospital, the tests showed that you had been drugged."

He was initially worried about Yan Zuozuo contacting Yao Ziqian, but he never expected to witness what followed. It must be said, this woman is indeed kind, but it is precisely this kindness that becomes her weakness. He still has reservations about letting her take control of the entire branch.

Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat. Recalling what had happened before, she still felt lingering fear. "Where is Fisher?"

Meng Yuanfei's eyes darkened: "I didn't pay attention to him, I don't know."

"Was he really drugged?" Yan Zuozuo clenched her fist. She would rather Fisher had been drugged to do such a thing than believe that he did it while sober.

"I'm not sure if he was drugged, but when I went in, I didn't see any signs that he had been drugged."

Yan Zuozuo froze, unable to accept Meng Yuanfei's explanation. If Fisher hadn't been drugged, it meant he had lied to her, and might even have...

Her heart clenched, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask something more, but Meng Yuanfei spoke first, "Take good care of yourself. I'll handle Fisher's matter. This time your stomach ailment is quite serious, so I'll need to notify your family to come and take care of you."

Does she still have family?

With her mother gone, Fu Zixin has to take care of Bao'er, who just had eye surgery. Everyone else is either busy with work or family, so who has time to take care of her?

As for the Chi family...

She smiled bitterly, fearing that even fewer people would be willing to take care of her.

Seeing her like this, Meng Yuanfei asked, "Don't you have any family here? Or should we notify your mother-in-law..."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, but it's not necessary. It's not a serious illness, I can manage on my own."

Besides her kindness, Meng Yuanfei also found some admiration in Yan Zuozuo's stubbornness and resilience. He was silent for a moment before saying, "You can decide for yourself. If needed, I can arrange a special nurse for you. As for the company, I'm afraid you'll have to ask Chairman Chi for leave personally."

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Mr. Meng, could you please not tell anyone that I'm sick?" so that people won't worry about her.

Meng Yuanfei nodded: "I respect your choice. You should get some rest. I have other things to take care of. Also, don't call me Mr. Meng anymore, just call me Yuanfei." After saying that, he left.

Yan Zuozuo was alone in the large hospital room. Remembering Meng Yuanfei's words, her heart sank. If all of this was arranged by Fisher, could she still work with him as if nothing had happened?

Fisher...

She had always respected him and genuinely considered him a friend, but this incident had truly frightened her and made her wary of Fisher. It was time for her to think about how to face Fisher.

Outside the ward.

"You're planning to expose me?" Fisher sat there dejectedly, his face ashen.

Thinking back on his previous actions, if he had actually gotten Yan Zuozuo, she would probably hate him for the rest of her life. Just now, he almost ruined her, and almost ruined himself as well.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have acted so impulsively. If he wanted to win her over, he should have taken a more gradual approach. Now, after this incident, it's uncertain whether Yan Zuozuo will even want to see him again.

That was so impulsive!

Fisher clenched his fists tightly, looking utterly dejected.

Meng Yuanfei sneered, "I didn't expect the renowned Mr. Fisher to be such a sentimental fool. However, exposing your self-destructive behavior is none of my business. As for whether Yan Zuozuo will expose you, that's her concern." He paused, then added, "However, I want you to remember one thing: Yan Zuozuo is now Chairman Chi's assistant. If you dare to touch Chairman Chi's people again, I will definitely not let you off so easily!"

Fisher was taken aback, surprised that Meng Yuanfei would say that. He had a feeling that this man was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

Meng Yuanfei smiled slightly: "I can't interfere with the deal between Mr. Fisher and Yao Ziqian, but Yan Zuozuo is the person Chairman Chi has chosen. If Mr. Fisher doesn't want things to be awkward for everyone, I advise you to stop now."

Meng Yuanfei had always found Yan Zuozuo's appearance strange, and he had investigated the relationship between Yan Zuozuo and Chi Xuecan. However, he did not believe that Chi Xuecan was the kind of person who practiced nepotism; it could only mean that Yan Zuozuo possessed something that Chi Xuecan wanted.

Upholding principles, persevering, kind and upright...

This is what he's observed and discovered over this period, and undeniably, it's precisely the quality a chairman must possess. However, sometimes being overly kind isn't a good thing. For example, in the case of Fisher.

It seems that Yan Zuozuo still has a lot of experience to go before he can take over the branch.

Meng Yuanfei narrowed his eyes, no longer wanting to waste time with Fisher. He glanced at him, then turned and left. He knew very well that Yan Zuozuo was already married, yet Fisher was still so persistent with her. Since he had been so infatuated for so long, he was afraid that a few threats from him wouldn't be enough to change his mind.

However, since Yan Zuozuo is the person Chi Xuecan has chosen, if Fisher insists on not giving up, then he will fight to the end!

Because Yan Zuozuo has a duodenal ulcer, she eats only foods that are easy on the stomach, which are bland and tasteless. Although she doesn't really like them, she still finishes them.

She didn't tell anyone about her situation, nor did she want to trouble anyone. However, she never expected someone to come uninvited.

Chi Xuecan, Chi Ran, and Shang Xiaoguo.

Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded as she watched them carrying loads of bags and packages. This wasn't visiting a patient; it was like they'd brought the entire supermarket! Nutritional supplements, stomach tonics, micronutrient supplements—Yan Zuozuo was utterly exasperated.

"Sister-in-law, you're working too hard! How could you have developed such a serious stomach problem? If my brother finds out, he'll be in big trouble!" Chi Ran exclaimed first.

Shang Xiaoguo's eyes widened: "Sister Yan, so you fell ill from work? I thought you secretly ate spicy food. Wow, Sister Yan is so amazing, working so hard. I want to learn from you."

Everyone: "..." What are we supposed to learn? Learn how to get sick and hospitalized?

"Guoguo, you're pregnant, why are you at the hospital? Where's Third Young Master?" Yan Zuozuo didn't want to dwell on her illness, so she changed the subject.

Shang Xiaoguo scratched her head: "Third Young Master has been very busy lately. I came to the hospital for a prenatal checkup by myself and happened to see Xiao Ran. When I asked, I found out that Sister Yan was hospitalized, so I came. Sister Yan, you are so mean. You didn't even tell me you were sick."
