Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 239 Encountering a Strange Person at the Banquet (1)

Her heart was filled with unease; she opened her mouth, but dared not actually say anything.

“Wife…” Chi Moqing reached out and stroked her hair, saying gently, “I’m your husband. Just tell me what’s wrong. Don’t worry.”

But is she really not worried? Yan Zuozuo still didn't dare to take the risk. The day she planned to leave was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't shorten this period any further. She wasn't ready to face all the possibilities.

"I will, honey, I'm really fine, don't worry."

Chi Moqing gazed at her silently. Even now, she still wouldn't tell him everything?

"Honey, honey? What are you thinking about?" Yan Zuozuo called to him, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"It's nothing, you're all right now. Your hand is injured, go out and rest. I'll take care of the kitchen." Chi Moqing reached out and touched her face. In Yan Zuozuo's unseen eyes, a hint of melancholy seemed to flash across her eyes.

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I'll stay here with you. Don't worry, I won't get in your way."

They didn't have much time left together, and she wanted to cherish every moment she could spend with him.

Chi Moqing looked at her quietly for a while before smiling and saying, "The kitchen is smoky, why don't you go watch TV in the living room? I'll call you when the food is ready, okay?"

Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart, reached out and hugged Chi Moqing, burying her head in his chest and saying, "Husband, you must remember, your wife loves you very much, really, really loves you..."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Chi Moqing's eyes. He hugged Yan Zuozuo tightly and stroked her back affectionately, but his eyes quickly turned cold.

Honey, why won't you be honest with me? In your heart, is your husband really that untrustworthy, or is there something I've done wrong that makes you feel uneasy?

More than an hour later, Chi Moqing brought the food to the table and called Yan Zuozuo to eat. Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but drool from the aroma of the food. She didn't even pick up her chopsticks and started eating directly, which made Chi Moqing both annoyed and amused.

He brought out two bowls of rice and tapped her forehead. "Use chopsticks."

Yan Zuozuo chuckled, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "Honey, why do you put so many green plants in my office?"

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "Don't you like it?"

She quickly shook her head: "I really like it. I used to think the office was lifeless, but now I feel very energetic every day."

“Those plants remove harmful substances from the air. You sit in the office all day, staring at the computer, so of course I’m worried about you,” Chi Moqing said with a smile, putting some fish into her bowl. “Besides, those plants are so eye-catching. When you see them, it’ll be like seeing me, so you’ll keep thinking about me.”

"..." Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. President Chi was too cunning. Even though he wasn't by her side, he still placed so many conspicuous objects around. It was clearly a declaration of ownership. He was so childish and cute.

She couldn't help but smile slightly, and just as she was about to speak, her phone rang. It wasn't hers; it was Chi Moqing's.

Chi Moqing glanced at the caller ID, frowned imperceptibly, and quickly pressed the answer button. "Young Master Ou, what can I do for you?"

Ou Luhan?!

Yan Zuozuo's body stiffened, and her hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened.

"Haha, President Chi's words really make me blush. It's been a long time since we last met, so of course I have to find an excuse to invite President Chi out for a chat."

"So, what's Young Master Ou's excuse?" Chi Moqing asked, raising an eyebrow.

"This Friday is my birthday. I've booked the entire Yuxuan Pavilion for Friday night. I would be honored if President Chi and Mrs. Chi would grace us with their presence."

"Of course I'll be attending Young Master Ou's birthday party. My wife and I will be there on time."

"Then I'll be waiting for you two."

After hanging up, Chi Moqing looked at Yan Zuozuo and said, "Young Master Ou invited us to his birthday party on Friday night."

Yan Zuozuo frowned, secretly wanting to avoid any further contact with Ou Luhan. She lowered her eyes, wondering if she should find an excuse to decline. But after all, the invitation wasn't for her, but for Chi Moqing; if she declined, it might embarrass Chi Moqing. Feeling somewhat annoyed, she nodded sullenly and said, "I understand."

Chi Moqing stared at Yan Zuozuo's unwilling expression, a thoughtful look flashing across his face.

On Friday night, Chi Moqing took Yan Zuozuo to Ou Luhan's birthday party. After all, Yan Zuozuo was the future successor of the Ou family. All the guests at the birthday party were socialites and business elites from high society. The party was very grand and the atmosphere was very lively.

Yan Zuozuo wore a pink long dress and a pair of white diamond-encrusted high heels. Her hair was tied up high, making her look beautiful yet dignified, serene yet ethereal, making people want to take a second look.

She entered arm in arm with Chi Moqing, a sweet smile on her face, occasionally whispering a few words to him, their deep affection evident.

When Ou Luhan saw them arrive, she quickly went up to greet them. When she saw Yan Zuozuo dressed up, her eyes lit up. "What a beautiful girl! I thought I was seeing a fairy."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, though she was actually quite nervous. After that incident, she avoided Ou Luhan whenever possible. With Chi Moqing present tonight, she was even more worried.

Chi Moqing glanced down at her, then wrapped his arms around her waist and said with a smile, "No wonder so many women like Young Master Ou, he has such a sweet tongue." As he spoke, he looked around, "I wonder which beauty will be lucky enough to be Young Master Ou's guest of honor tonight."

Ou Luhan laughed heartily: "If President Chi is willing to part with her, I wouldn't mind spending a night with Mrs. Chi."

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Young Master Ou, I mind very much!" Chi Moqing's frankness surprised Ou Luhan, but she quickly smiled again, "The relationship between the two of you is truly enviable..."

"Young Master Ou!" Before Ou Luhan could finish speaking, he heard someone call him. He nodded slightly, "You all do as you please, I'll go take a look first."

Not long after, they heard a commotion at the door. Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo looked over and saw that Fisher had also arrived. Yan Zuozuo was taken aback; tonight was really lively.

Fisher, dressed in a well-tailored white suit, looked dashing and immediately attracted the attention of many socialites and ladies. He maintained a faint smile throughout, arm in arm with an elegant and refined woman, as he made his entrance amidst the astonishment of the crowd.

The woman beside Fisher was none other than Tong Shili, who had met Yan Zuozuo twice.

They greeted Ou Luhan and walked straight over. "President Chi, Zuo Zuo, you've been here for a while?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Hello, Director. Hello, Miss Tong."

Tong Shili smiled and said, "It's a real honor to meet President Chi and Mrs. Chi here."

The four of them exchanged only polite words, but the atmosphere was somewhat strange. Just then, a business partner came to see Chi Moqing. Chi Moqing leaned down and whispered a few words to Yan Zuozuo before leaving.

Yan Zuozuo didn't want to be alone with Fisher and Tong Shili, so she excused herself to go to the restroom and left. Standing in front of the mirror, she couldn't help but sigh, regretting once again agreeing to attend the banquet. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

She washed her hands and was about to leave when she saw the bathroom door being pushed open, and then Ou Luhan walked in.

Yan Zuozuo was stunned and almost shouted out loud. This is the women's restroom! Is Young Master Ou trying to be a pervert?!

She frowned: "Young Master Ou, it seems you've come to the wrong place."

Ou Luhan shrugged: "I came in to find you."

Yan Zuozuo stared at him blankly: "Are you crazy? This is the women's restroom. You can be a pervert if you want, but I'm leaving. Move aside!" Fortunately, there was no one else in the restroom at the moment, otherwise, who knows how nasty the rumors would be outside.

"Wait, I have a few words to say, I'll leave right away." Ou Luhan locked the door of the women's restroom, staring straight at her, and took a deep breath, saying, "I know what happened last time was my fault, I apologize to you, Zuo Zuo, can you please not be so cold to me?"

Hearing Ou Luhan's words, Yan Zuozuo was furious. "How dare you make such a request of me? Third Young Master Ou, what exactly do you want?"

Because of a single, fabricated remark he made up, it became her nightmare. What right does he have to ask her to forgive him?

Sorry, she can't do it!

Ou Luhan took a deep breath and said dejectedly, "I don't know how things turned out this way, but don't worry, I'll definitely handle it. Darling, please forgive me, okay? I apologize, I'm sorry..."

After hearing Fisher tell him that Meng Xinyu had actually recorded and threatened Yan Zuozuo, he almost killed the woman. But then he felt that killing her so easily would be too lenient. Since he was the one who caused the trouble, he naturally had to take responsibility. Since Meng Xinyu dared to threaten the woman he loved, he would let her taste what it meant to be utterly disgraced!

Before he could seek justice for Yan Zuozuo, he wanted to get her forgiveness first. Otherwise, he worried that she would really ignore him in the future, and he would be devastated.

Although he knew he was despicable and that he was the last person Yan Zuozuo wanted to see, he still couldn't help wanting to see her; he couldn't control himself.

"Young Master Ou, are you done with your act? If you are, please let me out!" Yan Zuozuo didn't want to stay with him for another minute and said through gritted teeth.

"No matter what, this matter started because of me, and I will definitely give you justice. Zuo Zuo, I'm sorry."

"If Young Master Ou has come to apologize, then I accept it. But please stay away from me from now on. I never want to have anything to do with you again!"

"Zuo Zuo, you can be angry with me, hit me, scold me, anything, just don't ignore me..." Ou Luhan looked at her pitifully, hoping that she would soften her heart and change her mind.

Hearing this, Yan Zuozuo was stunned, and her anger flared even more. He had ruined everything for her, so why should she forgive him? Ha, did he really think she was some kind of saint, that she wouldn't be angry?

"I'm telling you right now, I will never forgive you, so forget about it!" Yan Zuozuo suppressed her anger. "I'm leaving, get out of the way!"

She didn't know where the strength came from, but she pushed Ou Luhan away and stormed out. Her fists were clenched tightly, and her whole body was trembling.
