Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 364 Chi Xuecan's Plea

"Jun Jun is right. Once my injuries heal, I'll teach them a lesson!"

Jian Ning smiled slightly: "Then I won't bother Assistant Huang any longer. I'll take my leave now."

With this little skill, you think you can challenge their CEO? You're dreaming!

Huang Shikun, a seasoned businessman, possessed an exceptional ability to read people. He hadn't missed the hint of disdain in Jian Ning's eyes just now, and his resentment only intensified.

What a damn bad luck! He tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait instead, and now he's being laughed at! It's all Chi Moqing's fault. If he hadn't gone to get the evidence of Chi Moqing's crimes, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

No way! He absolutely couldn't swallow this insult. What was this washed-up, outdated CEO doing, acting all high and mighty in front of him? Did he really think he was afraid of him?

Wait a minute! He just arrived in S City and had a conflict with Chi Moqing, and this happened right away. Could this be related to him?

The thought of this possibility sent a shiver down Huang Shikun's spine!

Inside the villa, Yan Zuozuo had a comfortable nap. She turned over contentedly, intending to snuggle up to her husband, but found him gone. She was startled, glancing at the time—it was only six o'clock. Where was he?

She put on her slippers and was just about to call for help when she heard a faint voice coming from the living room, "Be ready to close the net at any time. This time, we're going to wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Yan Zuozuo didn't understand Chi Moqing's business and didn't take it to heart. Seeing him standing by the French windows making a phone call, she didn't disturb him and quietly went to the kitchen, thinking about what to make for him to have breakfast. However, as soon as she entered, she smelled a delicious aroma. It turned out that Chi Moqing had already stewed black-boned chicken, and there were steaming dumplings in the pot next to him. The smell made her mouth water.

"Is it good?" Chi Moqing walked in, caught the kitten that had been stealing food, and hugged her from behind.

Yan Zuozuo leaned against him and turned to look at him, "Why are you up so early?"

"I'm not sleepy anymore, so I thought I'd get up and try something different." Chi Moqing looked at her gently. "Go back to sleep for a while. It'll probably be another half hour before we can eat."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head, turned around and hugged his waist, "I've been sleeping for so long, if I sleep any longer I'll really turn into a pig." She looked up at him, "I'm going to work today, what are you doing at home?" After resting for so long, spending every day with Chi Moqing, she was really reluctant to leave now that she had to go to work.

Chi Moqing was also reluctant, but he couldn't stop her interest, so he took her hand and walked to the bathroom, wiped her face with a clean towel, and squeezed out some face wash. "I'll stay home to take care of the kids and prepare lunch for you to come back."

Yan Zuozuo washed her face, dried it with a towel, and pouted, saying, "The kitchen is a woman's battlefield. Is President Chi planning to take over my territory?"

Chi Moqing chuckled and handed her some skincare products. "There's no other way. My husband might soon become unemployed, so of course I have to behave well. What if I get kicked out of the house?"

Yan Zuozuo playfully squeezed a little skincare product onto his face and chuckled, "My husband is just taking a temporary break so he can go further in the future. How can he be unemployed? Besides, I'd be happy if you stayed home with me every day."

Chi Moqing pinched her little nose: "You'll get annoyed after a while. Okay, hurry up and clean up. I'll go check on the kitchen again."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, and after tidying up, she went to the nursery to check on the baby before heading to the dining room. Chi Moqing had already served the chicken soup and placed the steamed buns in front of her, still wearing an apron. "What would you like to eat for lunch? I'll go to the market later."

Yan Zuozuo blinked: "Anything is fine, as long as my husband makes it, I'll like it." Husband and wife working together has nothing to do with status; it's often this kind of simple life that brings happiness.

Thinking back to their wedding four years ago, she never imagined life would turn out like this. Who could have predicted the future, telling her that she could marry such a gentle and considerate man just because of a moment of spite?

For four years, she had been able to receive Chi Moqing's meticulous care for over a thousand years. To her, it was a blessing she had earned in several lifetimes. It was as if just looking at him made her feel happy.

They exchanged a smile and ate breakfast together affectionately. Chi Moqing insisted on seeing her off. Yan Zuozuo, of course, didn't refuse, and they were all lovey-dovey on the way, making others envious.

When she arrived at the company, although it wasn't yet time for work, quite a few people were already there. Everyone was happy to see Yan Zuozuo return. Cai Keren, in particular, gave her a bear hug and kissed her twice on the cheek as soon as she saw her.

Yan Zuozuo looked at her amusedly: "Are you that happy? It's like you've been separated for a long time."

Cai Keren chuckled: "Of course I'm happy. You and the director have been away these past few days, and we've been doing the work of two people. We're so busy. It's great that you're back. Everyone's free now, hahaha."

Yan Zuozuo was speechless: "So this is why you welcomed me back, you lazybones! By the way, hasn't the director come to work yet?"

“You’re here. You just arrived yesterday. I was wondering if you two had arranged this. The director arrived yesterday, and you’re here today.” When Cai Keren saw Yan Zuozuo, it was as if she had a lot to say in a lifetime. She followed her into the office. “And Director Fisher, he’s already worrying about work even though he hasn’t fully recovered. He’s a workaholic. I really admire him.”

Yan Zuozuo nodded, exchanged a few words with Fisher, and then asked Cai Keren to briefly explain her work before she began to handle it herself. But Cai Keren wasn't done talking yet and continued to chatter on, "And then there's Yi Fanxi and Tong Shili, I always feel there's something ambiguous between them, Zuozuo, do you think they're dating?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Could it be? Yi Fanxi had clearly stated before that he wouldn't be with Tong Shili. But these things are unpredictable; maybe he'll develop feelings for her again at some point. Let them be.

Seeing that she wasn't talking, Cai Keren also felt bored. She suddenly moved closer to Yan Zuozuo and pinched her little cheek. "Oh, your little face is so pink and tender. It seems that President Chi has been taking good care of you lately. Tsk, I'm so jealous."

Yan Zuozuo blushed and was about to speak when the phone rang. She glared at Cai Keren playfully, "Don't talk nonsense." Then she picked up the receiver, and Song Yutong's voice came through, "Zuozuo, come to my office."

In Chi Moqing's villa, Chi Xuecan held a cup of coffee and looked at the man in front of her. She couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies. In my memory, you were still a naughty child. How did you grow up so much in the blink of an eye?"

Time really does age us all.

"Can Can doesn't look old at all, she looks younger than me," Chi Moqing said calmly, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes as she watched the affectionate way Can Can play with the child. Can Can loved children when she was little, but she could no longer have children when she grew up; fate was cruel.

Chi Xuecan smiled and said, "Everything in this world is fair. If you gain one thing, you will inevitably lose another. No matter how well I take care of myself, I am still getting old. And my biggest regret in this life is that I cannot have a child of our own with Huo Heng." She looked up and met Chi Moqing's sad eyes. She smiled indifferently and said, "But I do not regret being with Huo Heng at all. He taught me what happiness is."

Chi Moqing nodded. Back then, Chi Xuecan suffered a miscarriage, which resulted in her being unable to have children again, all because of Huo Heng. But as long as she felt happy and that it was all worthwhile, that was enough.

"Mo Qing, I came back this time at your father's request, which may have some impact on our Chi family. I hope you can understand."

Chi Moqing was taken aback for a moment, then somewhat understood. "Can Can, you've met Xiao Ran?"

Chi Xuecan nodded: "This matter is not exactly honorable, and family scandals should not be aired in public. I need to talk to you first."

"Don't worry, I've seen how much you've suffered all these years because you couldn't go home for your parents. Even if you really want to settle the score from back then, it's only right." Chi Moqing only found out about what Chi's mother had done by chance, and he felt even more sorry for Chi Xuecan.

Chi Xuecan smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. Although I haven't been back much over the years, Huo Heng has been very good to me. Don't worry, I don't feel lonely at all."

Chi Moqing didn't speak, taking a small sip of his coffee. He looked up at Chi Xuecan, sensing that she seemed to have something on her mind today, appearing hesitant to speak. He couldn't help but ask, "Cancan, is something the matter?"

Chi Xuecan lowered her eyes, clenched her fists as if she were having an internal struggle, and after a long while she hesitated before saying, "Mo Qing, there is something I want to ask you. It may be a bit much, but I really can't think of anyone else."

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "Can Can, you speak."

“I had given up on having children all these years. I would visit the orphanage whenever I had time and take care of those poor children. I always thought that this would make up for my regrets and I would be content. But…” She seemed very nervous, her eyes filled with longing as she looked at Chi Moqing, “until I met these two children, I realized that I was not content, nor had I given up.”

She looked at the child in her arms with a deep longing. She bit her lip, "You know I can't have children anymore. So... so could you have another child and give her to me to adopt? Don't worry, I will definitely treat the child well, I swear." She spoke pitifully.

When Chi Moqing met Chi Xuecan's pleading gaze, a flicker of surprise and astonishment crossed his usually composed and handsome face. To be honest, he truly hadn't expected Chi Xuecan to make such a request. Not only would it be difficult for him to accept, but he had already undergone a vasectomy, and he feared he would be letting her down.

After a moment of silence, just as he was about to speak, he heard Chi Xuecan say, "Please don't rush to reject me, okay? Mo Qing, I know it's selfish of me to do this, but Huo Heng really likes children, and so do I. No matter how good someone else's child is, it's not your own. I'm begging you on this matter, please promise me, okay?"

Chi Moqing frowned: "Can Can, I understand how you feel, but I really can't help you with this. I... had my tubal ligation."

Chi Xuecan stared at him in astonishment, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Vessel ligation?"
