Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 140 I only have you

After the autopsy results came out, the funeral began. Yan Zuozuo didn't have any relatives to begin with, but Chi Moqing had quite a few relatives and friends who came.

Chi Moqing stood beside her, thanking everyone. Yan Zuozuo was wearing a black dress and had a big belly. She was clearly about to give birth, but she was as thin as a bamboo pole, and her eyes were red from crying.

She shook hands with everyone, thanked them, and occasionally glanced up at the photos displayed in front of her. Yan's mother rarely took photos; the ones in the photos were several years old. She and Mu Tianyang had originally planned to have a wedding with photos taken, a destination wedding, but it was all canceled because she became pregnant. Looking back now, it seems Yan's mother lived her whole life for her, a life filled with hardships that tug at the heartstrings.

No matter how much Yan Zuozuo tried to appear strong, she couldn't hold back anymore during the burial and burst into tears.

Chi Moqing held her close; her bones were almost digging into him. He felt extremely sorry for her, seeing her so thin and frail shoulders having to bear such a burden.

Mu Tianyang walked over and handed her a bankbook. "I found this while helping your mother pack her things. She worked hard all her life to save this much money. I thought she was going to give it to you, but she didn't have time..."

Yan Zuozuo clutched the bankbook tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She remembered that her mother's clothes were all worn for years, and she would never buy her new ones, even if Yan Zuozuo bought them for her, she would still wear them sparingly. She also remembered seeing her mother's underwear, which were also many years old. If she hadn't married Mu Tianyang, she probably would never have bought a few new pieces in her life.

She used to complain about her frugality, but now she realized that she saved all her money just to make room for this little bit. Thinking about it, she nestled in Chi Moqing's arms, unable to hold back any longer.

Chi Moqing held her, letting her cry her heart out.

Later, as everyone gradually dispersed, he stood with Yan Zuozuo in front of Yan's mother's grave. He had already instructed his assistant to invite everyone to dinner, and they simply stood there quietly, gazing at Yan's mother.

As the sun sets and wisps of clouds drift across the sky, the once bustling cemetery becomes deserted.

Yan Zuozuo stood there, her slender body looking as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Mom, I haven't even given you a single day of happiness before you left like this. Do you know how much I miss you? You promised to teach me how to be a mother, you promised to live to be a hundred so I could take care of you, but you broke your promise..."

"Mom, why did you leave so early? It's so deserted over there. Aren't you scared to be all alone? Baby hasn't even called me Grandma yet, how could you bear to leave?"

"Mom, I miss you so much, I really miss you..."

Her voice was hoarse, tears streaming down her face, and she stood there, her thin shoulders trembling.

Chi Moqing stood silently beside her, quietly keeping her company. Her behavior worried him greatly. Suddenly, she swayed and almost fell. He quickly caught her and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "It's nothing, I guess I've been standing for too long."

“It’s getting cold, let’s go back,” he said.

Yan Zuozuo nodded and was carried away by him.

As they descended the mountain, Chi Moqing carefully helped her into the car, holding her hand tightly, and said softly, "Zuozuo, you still have me."

Yan Zuozuo's tears broke out again. She clung tightly to Chi Moqing, trembling in his arms like a wounded kitten, "Chi Moqing... Chi Moqing... You're all I have left..."

Chi Moqing hugged her tightly and gently stroked her back, saying, "You have me, you have the baby, we are a family."

Yan Zuozuo cried uncontrollably. Her mother, who had been her only family for over twenty years, had left her. It felt as if someone had forcibly removed a vital organ from her body, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

Not far from them, a furtive figure was hiding behind a tree. No one noticed it until Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo left, when it appeared with a cold smile on its lips.

Yan Zuozuo returned home and sat silently by the window, staring outside. In just a few days, she had become incredibly thin, causing Chi Moqing immense heartache. He wanted to comfort her and tell her not to be sad, but Yan's mother had just passed away, and it was impossible for her not to be heartbroken. He could only stay by her side, watching over her, afraid that she would break down.

He knelt down beside her, his large, warm hands holding hers tightly, and asked softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Yan Zuozuo stroked his thin face from behind, then shook her head, "Go eat, I'm not hungry."

Chi Moqing smiled faintly and held her in his arms, his grip very light, as if afraid of hurting her. He said, "Zuozuo, eat something, the baby needs nutrition too. I'm worried about you like this."

How could she not be hungry? She was so thin and pale that she barely had the strength to speak.

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip. She knew she couldn't be willful; she had two babies waiting for her to eat. But she really had no appetite. Just thinking about her mother leaving her made her so sad that she couldn't eat a single bite.

Chi Moqing didn't force her, but said softly, "Then take a rest. You didn't sleep last night."

Yan Zuozuo nodded silently, and he led her to the bedroom. Lying on the bed, she suddenly gripped Chi Moqing's hand tightly and asked, "How's the police investigation going?"

"We're still looking for clues. I've also arranged for people to search for them myself. We'll find the murderer as soon as possible, so don't worry."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, then cried again when she saw the photo of her mother on the bedside table.

Chi Moqing reached out to wipe away her tears, took off his shoes, and got into bed. He held her in his arms and listened to her tell stories from her childhood over and over again.

After talking for a long time, Yan Zuozuo suddenly looked up and said, "I've said it so many times, isn't it annoying?" She choked up, hugged Chi Moqing tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Chi Moqing patted her shoulder: "I like listening to you talk about those years that I missed, and I want to make up for them."

Yan Zuozuo wiped away her tears and said sadly, "Besides He Xinrui, I can't think of anyone else my mother has offended." In fact, her mother had never offended He Xinrui's family; they were just feeling guilty.

Chi Moqing understood that Yan Zuozuo was still sad, but compared to He Xinrui, whom she mentioned, he felt that Mu Yaoqian was more likely. However, she was hospitalized after a car accident, so could it be her?

In a way, they were connected to Luo Bin, as he was the one in charge of this case. He arrived at Chi Moqing's villa and briefly explained the current leads. Mother Yan was always reclusive and unlikely to offend anyone. If they had to find a target, it would be He Xinrui and Cai Qingqing. They had also investigated Mu Yaoqian, but couldn't rule her out for the time being.

However, Mu Tianyang was by Mu Yaoqian's side the entire time when the incident occurred, so she had no opportunity to commit the crime. Of course, it's also possible that it was pre-arranged, a hired murder. Therefore, the focus is on these three individuals, and further investigation is needed to determine the details.

Chi Moqing nodded, saw Luo Bin off, and returned to the bedroom to keep Yan Zuozuo company. She still looked bewildered, and he couldn't help but sigh.

“Chi Moqing…” Her eyes reddened again when she saw her.

Chi Moqing rushed over and hugged her tightly, "What's wrong?"

"I'm so sad, my heart aches, will you stay with me?" she cried.

Chi Moqing hugged her even tighter: "I'll always be with you. Whatever you want to do, I'll be there for you."

Yan Zuozuo nestled in his arms and cried for a long time. Suddenly, she grabbed his arm tightly, stared at him with wide eyes, and said, "Chi Moqing, you won't abandon me, will you? You won't leave me alone, right?" Her voice was urgent and frightened as she gripped his clothes tightly.

Chi Moqing held her in his arms, stroking her back gently, and whispered, "Zuozuo, we are husband and wife, and our baby is here. I can never abandon you. Have you forgotten? I love you."

Yan Zuozuo hugged his arm tightly, repeating over and over again, "Yes, you love me, you won't abandon me."

Chi Moqing stroked her head and said softly, "Zuozuo, you can't be sad like this anymore. We have a long life ahead of us. You have to be a good mother and raise our baby well. First of all, you should learn to be strong. I know you are sad and in pain, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. You can't let this defeat you. I believe that your mother in heaven would not want to see you like this."

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip, reached out and touched her belly. The baby inside seemed to sense her sadness, kicked its legs gently, turned over and then remained still.

Yan Zuozuo wiped away her tears. She really couldn't go on like this. She still had Chi Moqing and their baby. They were going to hold hands and walk through life together. She had to pull herself together.

Thinking this, she nestled in Chi Moqing's arms, took a deep breath, and said, "Chi Moqing, I'm so tired, let me sleep for a while."

"Sweetheart, go to sleep. I'll stay here with you."

Before long, Yan Zuozuo fell asleep. Chi Moqing gently stroked her face, not daring to breathe too loudly, for fear of waking Yan Zuozuo, who was finally able to get some sleep.

Ke Yan Zuo Zuo didn't sleep soundly. She was dreaming about something when she suddenly woke up and instinctively shouted, "Chi Mo Qing!"

Chi Moqing held her and said gently, "I'm here, don't worry, talk it out."

Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment, then fell asleep in his arms again.

When Yan Zuozuo woke up, it was already afternoon. Her head was dizzy. She remembered that her mother had left something with Mu Tianyang, so she thought of going over to get it.

But then she thought about how Mu Yaoqian was still in the hospital, and how Mu Tianyang had probably gone back to be with her after finishing up with his mother's affairs, so she decided to go another day. She didn't know what kind of person her mother was in Mu Tianyang's heart. If he really cared about Yan's mother, why couldn't he even get through to her on the phone when she was going to America for surgery? Even if he wasn't going, shouldn't he have at least told her?

But if he didn't care about his mother, she clearly saw him secretly wiping away tears more than once. However, none of that mattered anymore; his mother was gone, and those romantic entanglements would never hurt her again.

She went downstairs and didn't see Chi Moqing, but Fu Zixin was there. Seeing her come down, Fu Zixin quickly got up, "You're awake, I'll go get you some food."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, but then she understood. It seemed that Chi Moqing hadn't been to work for the past few days, and since she couldn't delay any longer, she had asked Fu Zixin to keep her company. Actually, she felt much better and didn't need someone with her all the time.

Fu Zixin went to the kitchen to bring her food. She took out her phone and called Chi Moqing, saying softly, "I'm up."

Upon receiving her call, Chi Moqing, who was in a meeting, immediately told everyone to take a break and continue later. He walked out with his phone in hand, asking gently, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, Zixin just took the food out." She lowered her eyes, her voice lacking its usual energy, but she still continued, "You go to work, I'm really fine, don't worry about me."

“Okay, call me if you feel sad, I’ll be back soon.” Chi Moqing thought for a moment, then asked, “Zuo Zuo, do you want to come to the company to keep me company? I feel uneasy and empty when I can’t see you.”

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback: "Isn't it inconvenient? You're working..."

"You're my wife, there's nothing inconvenient about it. I'm afraid I can't live without you for the rest of my life, Zuo Zuo, you can't be heartless and ignore me, it will make me sad." Chi Moqing's voice had a hint of coquetry.

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized that he was comforting her. She always felt that since her mother had left, Chi Moqing might leave her too, so she was very uneasy. Chi Moqing understood her thoughts and tried to reassure her in various ways that he would not leave her and would always be there for her.

She felt a surge of emotion and said, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm going to eat first."

"Okay, eat more. You've lost weight these past few days."

Yan Zuozuo smiled, hung up the line, and seemed to feel less sad.
