Chapter 120 Honeymoon Trip (1)
Chapter 120 Honeymoon Trip (1)
Yan Zuozuo nodded in his arms, and soon she heard Chi Ran's loud voice from outside, "Brother, you're on the front page again? This time it's incredible, it's even comparable to Uniqlo." She was originally on a business trip out of town, busy with work, but when she saw that her older brother was on the front page again, she immediately bought a plane ticket and flew back.
Chi Moqing glanced indifferently at Chi Ran, who had suddenly barged in, and said unhurriedly, "It's nothing, someone created it."
"It's Cai Qingqing again, isn't it? I told you long ago that woman is no good." Chi Ran said indignantly. She had disliked that hypocritical and pretentious woman since she was a child. It was one thing for her to betray her older brother back then, but now she's back to do all this nonsense. It's simply outrageous.
"I will handle this matter," Chi Moqing said calmly. His wife's tears and this beating were not reasons for him to forgive. He would not let any of those who tried to frame him get away with it!
Yan Zuozuo wiped away her tears and greeted Chi Ran, just as Lu Yaoyuan came up from downstairs. He pushed open the door, originally intending to joke with Chi Moqing, but seeing Yan Zuozuo's tearful face, he just smiled and said, "Some bad people just need to be taught a lesson. Look how sad my little sister-in-law is."
Chi Moqing saw Lu Yaoyuan's hand naturally rest on Chi Ran's shoulder, and Chi Ran didn't refuse. Instead, she nestled in Lu Yaoyuan's arms with a sweet and happy expression. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Then, he heard Chi Ran say with a smile, "Brother, this guy told you all, right? We're taking wedding photos together, at the beach."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback and looked at Chi Moqing in surprise, "Taking wedding photos by the sea?"
Chi Moqing pinched her little nose: "We originally wanted to go abroad and have a honeymoon, but you're pregnant, so we'll just take pictures nearby first, and then have a honeymoon after the baby is born."
Yan Zuozuo was pleasantly surprised, thinking that he had long forgotten about it, but she didn't expect him to still remember.
Seeing her happy expression, Chi Moqing smiled indulgently, and an ambiguous feeling rippled between them.
Seeing their affectionate display, Chi Ran lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the disappointment in them. However, she quickly regained her smile and said teasingly, "That's enough, you two are going to go blind if you keep showing off like this."
Chi Moqing glanced at her sideways without saying a word, but Yan Zuozuo, seeing her interaction with Lu Yaoyuan, was somewhat confused. Chi Ran's feelings for Lu Zhitu were so deep; she was still sad for him not long ago. How long has it been since then, and she's already transferred her feelings to Lu Yaoyuan?
She opened her mouth as if to ask something, but with everyone around, she felt it inconvenient to speak.
The whole family was present for dinner that evening. The Chi family was known for its clear system of rewards and punishments; mistakes were punished, but once the punishment was over, the offender would correct their behavior and everything would be fine again. Lu Yaoyuan had long since come to regard the Chi family as his own, and he did whatever he wanted without any inhibitions. He often acted as the life of the party, making everyone laugh until their stomachs hurt.
After dinner, Chi Moqing took Yan Zuozuo for a walk outside. The weather was gradually turning cooler, and the baby would be born in a few months. Yan Zuozuo calculated that the child would probably be a winter baby, which was good, as the baby wouldn't be afraid of the cold in the future.
Chi Moqing held her hand and helped her sit down in the pavilion, letting her lean against him to rest.
Yan Zuozuo was worried about his wound and didn't dare to use too much force. She just leaned against him gently and looked up to ask, "Do you think Xiao Ran and Lu Yaoyuan are serious?"
Chi Moqing tidied her messy hair and said calmly, "She's an adult now and has to take responsibility for her actions. Since she decided to be with Lu Yuanyao, she has to bear the consequences."
Yan Zuozuo nodded and said nothing more.
Because of Chi Moqing's scandal, Chi's stock is still falling, and some shareholders are already eager to sell their shares. Besides keeping the media calm and cooperating with the police investigation, Chi Moqing continues to secretly arrange for the acquisition of Chi's stock.
Chi Moqing wasn't worried about himself or the Chi family, but he didn't want Yan Zuozuo to be harmed. Therefore, he demanded that the matter be resolved as soon as possible. The media had contacted Cai Qingqing, who only said the photos were fake. She was ambiguous about her relationship with Chi Moqing, and even intentionally or unintentionally hinted at Chi Moqing's relationship with her father, intending to drag Chi Moqing back into that case, leaving him in a state of ambiguity.
Clearly, the public was influenced by media hype, believing that Chi Moqing's ability to build such a large company as the Chi Group at such a young age must involve some shady dealings. Various media outlets began digging deep, but ultimately, it was all talk and no action; nothing of substance was revealed.
That day, Chi Moqing was processing documents in his office when Lu Zhitu sat down in front of him and asked without beating around the bush, "I saw the news. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Chi Moqing shook his head: "I will handle it."
Lu Zhitu knew his abilities. He had his secretary bring in a cup of tea and then said, "I never imagined that the little girl who used to follow us around like that would turn out like this." He said with some emotion.
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow, finished processing a document, and put it aside. "What do you want to say?"
Lu Zhitu smiled bitterly: "You really can't hide anything from me. I received a call from Aunt Cai, begging me to let Cai Qingqing go, saying that she was just temporarily blinded by greed and to give her another chance."
Chi Moqing's lips slowly curled into a smile: "You made me acquiesce to this matter. For Cai Qingqing, you hurt my wife and embarrassed my parents. Is this giving her a chance?"
Lu Zhitu sighed. Just then, his secretary brought in tea. He took a sip before slowly saying, "I'm just a messenger. No matter what you do, our relationship won't change."
Chi Moqing smiled and handed the results of her investigation to Lu Zhitu. "Cai Qingqing has gone mad. In order to frame me, she colluded with the doctor to lie to me that Aunt Cai had cancer. I can't let this woman off easily. I have to be responsible for my family, my wife and daughters, and she is a ticking time bomb."
Lu Zhitu frowned slightly: "I really didn't expect that the girl we grew up with would be so terrifying. I thought we all knew her, but now it seems I was wrong. If she can deceive you with this kind of lie, I think her methods are far more sophisticated than this. You'd better be careful."
Chi Moqing nodded, then suddenly said, "Xiao Ran went home yesterday..."
Lu Zhitu stiffened, and Chi Moqing continued, "They went back with Yaoyuan, it seems they intend to..."
"Impossible!" Lu Zhitu reacted violently, losing his composure from before, his fists clenched tightly. "I'm going to find her right now. I can't let her ruin herself and Yaoyuan."
Chi Moqing nodded: "That's what I think too."
After Lu Zhitu left, the special assistant came in and handed the documents to Chi Moqing. "The police station's forensic results are out. The video is fake. However, the person who released the video is obviously an expert. He released it in an unlicensed internet cafe. There was no surveillance or registration record, so it will be very difficult to find him."
Chi Moqing glanced at the information briefly and then said, "Go check the hospital's video footage; we're bound to find something."
The assistant nodded, paused, and said, "President, due to the impact of this scandal, our stock price is still declining. What do you think..."
"Don't worry, I have my own plans to continue acquiring shares."
"Yes, President." Having served by Chi Moqing's side for so many years, he never fought a battle he wasn't confident of winning. Since he said he had a plan, he must have a way to turn the situation around.
As the assistant was about to leave, Chi Moqing suddenly asked, "If things continue like this, aren't you worried that the Chi Corporation might collapse one day and you won't even get your salary?"
The assistant smiled and said with certainty, "I trust the president." This made Chi Moqing chuckle softly. "Go out."
Although the rumors made many business partners hesitate, Chi Moqing seemed completely unconcerned. Instead, he took Yan Zuozuo ahead and went to the wedding photo shoot location. When Chi Ran found out, she cried out, "We agreed to go together, have our honeymoon together, and take photos together! How could you leave me alone? That's so unfair!"
Yan Zuozuo touched her nose guiltily, and then Chi Moqing reached out and took Yan Zuozuo's phone, saying, "Be more polite when you talk to your sister-in-law. You still have Lu Yuanyao with you, right? Do you want to find a few more third wheels on your honeymoon?"
Upon hearing Chi Moqing's voice, Chi Ran immediately wilted and muttered irritably, "Favoritism..."
"What's wrong with me favoring my wife? That's all, I'm hanging up." After saying that, Chi Moqing hung up the phone. Yan Zuozuo chuckled, "What method did you use to make Xiao Ran so afraid of you?"
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "Because I am her lucky charm."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, then burst out laughing, "So President Chi isn't anything special after all." Because her laughter was so unladylike, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
Chi Moqing was startled: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "Maybe the little one thinks her mother is too unladylike, so she's protesting by punching and kicking."
Chi Moqing's expression stiffened for a moment, then she touched her belly and warned gently, "These few days are Mommy and Daddy's honeymoon trip. You two have to be good. If you're naughty and bully Mommy, I'll spank your little bottoms."
Seeing his serious expression, Yan Zuozuo smiled. She put her arm around Chi Moqing's waist and teased, "Be careful, your little lover might not love you anymore."
"Having you as my lover is enough for me," Chi Moqing said, kissing her on the cheek. "We'll be at the hotel soon, do you want to take a nap first?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head and said happily, "The scenery here is beautiful. It would be such a pity if we were to sleep through it."
Chi Moqing affectionately patted her head, and they soon arrived at their booked hotel. He helped Yan Zuozuo out of the car and said, "Put your things down first, and you can rest for a while. I'll take you out for a nice meal tonight."
Yan Zuozuo's eyes lit up, and she quickly agreed.
Chi Moqing booked the most luxurious hotel in the area. It was spacious, bright, simple, and elegant, with a romantic theme throughout, clearly designed for honeymooning couples.
Chi Moqing prepared water for her and helped her rinse off briefly. Although she had gotten used to being waited on by him these days, Yan Zuozuo was still a little shy, her face burning hot.
Chi Moqing couldn't resist her shy and timid demeanor each time, and the next second, a kiss as fierce as a storm would fall upon her. Yan Zuozuo endured it, occasionally teasing him deliberately, which immediately turned Chi Moqing into a werewolf.
However, he was always very careful, worried that something might happen to Yan Zuozuo. On the bed, Chi Moqing held her, burying his head in her long hair, deeply inhaling her sweet scent, "So fragrant..."
Yan Zuozuo chuckled: "Where does it smell good? It's clearly just an excuse for your bestiality to run rampant."
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, you still have the energy to tease me. It seems I haven't been trying hard enough."
Yan Zuozuo was startled and quickly begged for mercy, "Try, try, you tried so hard... Hahaha, don't tickle me..."
