Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 116 Chi Moqing Broke His Promise

During this time, Chi Moqing was still busy with work, even busier than before. When Yan's mother had free time, she would come over to chat with Yan Zuozuo and cook her some delicious food. It was said that the Municipal Hospital was eventually transferred, and the new owner paid for the equipment. He Cangyuan was prosecuted for accepting bribes and tampering with medical records. The outcome was still pending, but it probably wouldn't be good.

Yan Zuozuo didn't ask Chi Moqing for help, nor did she ask him for any. In her heart, He Cangyuan was an unimportant person; his well-being, life, or death had nothing to do with her.

In the living room, Yan's mother handed a peeled apple to Yan Zuozuo and said in a low voice, "Let's have a meal together sometime. After all, your Uncle Mu and I are married, and we should have a meal together as a family."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, indicating she had no objection. Suddenly, she remembered her last meeting with Mu Yaoqian and asked, "Is Uncle Mu's daughter treating you well?"

Yan's mother sighed: "It's neither good nor bad, we just rarely see each other."

Yan Zuozuo could tell that her mother was very troubled, so she asked again, "What does Uncle Mu think?"

“Your Uncle Mu is on my side, but the more he does, the less I feel Yao Qian likes me. But it’s okay, it’s normal, after all, they’ve relied on each other for so many years. My sudden appearance might make Yao Qian feel like I’ve stolen her father, but it should get better after a while,” Mother Yan said with a smile.

But Yan Zuozuo didn't think so. She felt that Mu Yaoqian and her mother and daughter were not on good terms at all. Fortunately, Uncle Mu sided with Yan's mother, so she was relieved.

At noon, Yan Zuozuo woke up from a nap to find that her mother had already gone home. Feeling bored, she went to Chi Moqing's study to find some books to read. She had long been interested in his bookshelf, which contained almost every kind of book imaginable, from political and business magazines to fashion magazines, from serious literature to popular novels.

After browsing for a while, she finally realized that popular novels were the only ones that appealed to her. She randomly picked one up and sat in his seat, reading it with great interest.

Just as she was watching the male lead betray the female lead and the other woman gloating, the phone suddenly rang. She was so engrossed in the story that she forgot to compose herself and angrily asked, "Who is it?"

Chi Moqing was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Who made my wife angry? I'll go and get revenge for you."

Yan Zuozuo blinked, then suddenly chuckled, "No, no one, I was reading a novel. You have no idea how wicked the male protagonist is. He actually aborted his wife's unborn child for his mistress. He's absolutely despicable!"

Chi Moqing chuckled: "It's despicable. Your husband would never do something so heinous."

"I knew it." Yan Zuozuo's voice was sweet and soft, and she quickly escaped from her anger. Even her tone was full of coquettishness. "Is there something you need?" she asked.

"I missed you." Chi Moqing's gentle voice came, low and deep like a fine wine, with an alluring aroma. "Have you missed me?"

"No way." Yan Zuozuo stubbornly denied it, reaching out to gently stroke the photo of the two of them that he had placed on the desk, her eyes full of laughter.

"Then I'll be heartbroken," Chi Moqing said, feigning sorrow. "I miss you so much, what am I going to do?"

His pleasant voice was tinged with frustration. Yan Zuozuo seemed to see his depressed expression, and her heart skipped a beat. Then she blurted out, "I miss you too."

Chi Moqing's mood instantly brightened, and he laughed like a child. Yan Zuozuo, however, wasn't so happy. She said sullenly, "Honey, it's only been a day, but it feels like I haven't seen you in ages. Do you think I've become clingy and annoying?"

"How could that be? My wife is cuter the more clingy she is." Chi Moqing smiled, glancing at the time. "How about I have the driver pick you up, and you can rest here?"

"No way!" Yan Zuozuo pouted. If she really went over there, who knew what those girls who secretly admired Chi Moqing would say about her? She didn't want to give them any reason to talk. She glanced at the ring on her hand and suddenly remembered that she and he had been married for almost a year. She couldn't help but sigh at how fast time had passed.

"Alright, then I'll go home early tonight." Sensing her dejection, Chi Moqing said gently.

"Really?" Yan Zuozuo's eyes lit up. She was naturally happy that he had come back to keep her company, but then she thought that it wouldn't be good if she delayed her work. So she changed her mind and said, "I was just saying. You go ahead and work. I'm fine."

Chi Moqing chuckled softly. The more considerate and gentle she was, the more he wanted to treat her well. "I'm not busy today, and I want to go home early to be with my wife and children."

"Won't this interfere with your work?" Yan Zuozuo was a little worried. She knew he doted on her and would make time for her to make her happy, but he would have to stay up late alone at night. It pained her to see him like that, and of course she didn't want him to do that.

"It's alright, just stay home and wait for me," Chi Moqing said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Zuozuo walked happily to the living room, where Zhang Ma had already finished tidying up and was sitting watching TV. Seeing her come downstairs, she quickly got up, "Madam, is there anything I can do for you?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head and smiled, "Aunt Zhang, don't always be so polite. Watch TV, I'll cook tonight." Remembering the candlelight dinner Chi Moqing had prepared for her before, she also planned to cook him a nice meal.

Zhang Ma exclaimed in surprise, "Madam, your belly is really too big. You shouldn't cook. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you." Last time, Yan Zuozuo was just cutting a lemon in the kitchen when she accidentally cut her hand. Although the wound wasn't deep, it still made Chi Moqing very distressed, and he ordered her not to enter the kitchen again.

Yan Zuozuo stuck out her tongue, patted her belly, and said playfully, "Last time was an accident, it definitely won't happen this time. I'm almost six months pregnant, it's fine." After a pause, she said shyly, "Mo Qing, come back early today, I want to cook for him myself."

Aunt Zhang understood perfectly. Having spent the last two months here, she'd grown accustomed to the young couple's loving relationship and genuinely envied them. Thinking about how she and her husband were still constantly arguing, she felt truly troubled.

To ensure Yan Zuozuo wouldn't have any mishaps, Zhang Ma stayed by her side the whole time, taking care of all the washing and chopping of vegetables, leaving Yan Zuozuo only to cook. Seeing that it was almost six o'clock and dinner was ready, Yan Zuozuo told Zhang Ma to go home first.

Aunt Zhang winked at her knowingly, then smiled and went home. Yan Zuozuo's face flushed red. She waited until Aunt Zhang left before setting the table, but then felt the atmosphere wasn't romantic enough, so she decided to try a candlelight dinner like Chi Moqing. The problem was, stir-fried rice and white rice for a candlelight dinner… well, that was certainly unique!

She scratched her head sheepishly, deciding to just leave it at that.

She went back to her room and changed into a pretty maternity dress. It looked rather cute, with a big bow on her chest and a pair of slippers with bunny ears. She looked like a doll no matter how you looked at her.

Because of her pregnancy, she wasn't in a position to wear makeup, so she simply tidied her hair, twirled around in front of the mirror a couple of times, and then went downstairs satisfied. Even though they were an old married couple, the thought of her candlelight dinner with Chi Moqing tonight made her heart pound with nervousness, and her face burned.

Sitting on the sofa, she gently stroked her round belly with her little hand, a faint smile on her lips, and murmured softly, "Baby, don't you think Mommy is so pathetic? Your dad just came home early to have dinner with us, and Mommy got so nervous."

I don't know if they really understood what she was saying, but the two little ones turned over in her belly and then stopped moving.

Yan Zuozuo was on the verge of tears, and couldn't help but think of the two little kids rolling their eyes. "Ugh! Even you guys are laughing at me, that's too much." After a pause, she sighed, "Mom is so useless. I always feel like I spend too little time with Dad. It's like I never see him. He's all I can think about. I must be sick."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two little ones moved again, their strength noticeably greater than before. Yan Zuozuo chuckled, "You little rascals, if you laugh at your mother again, believe me, I'll let you go hungry tonight!" The three of them chatted like this, and Yan Zuozuo found this feeling strange yet also very happy.

She sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for Chi Moqing, but after waiting for a long, long time, he still hadn't shown up. She couldn't help but frown. He had promised to come back early; would he stand her up? She pouted and couldn't help but look towards the door.

Another hour passed, and Yan Zuozuo's stomach started rumbling. She sighed, stroked her two little babies, and said, "Wait a little longer, Daddy should be back soon."

But Yan Zuozuo waited for hours and hours, and Chi Moqing still did not return. The smile on her face was gradually replaced by disappointment and unease. She couldn't help but take out her phone and call Chi Moqing, but the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.

She panicked. She remembered that when Chi Moqing didn't answer the phone before, it meant something had happened. Could it be the same this time?

She paced anxiously in the living room until she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. Then she went to the kitchen to heat up some food, forced herself to eat a little, and continued to sit on the sofa to wait for Chi Moqing.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she eventually fell asleep while waiting. When she woke up again, it was already one in the morning, and she was all alone in the empty villa. The dim light felt desolate, but Chi Moqing still hadn't returned. Yan Zuozuo picked up the phone and dialed again and again, but no one answered.

She grew increasingly restless, calling his company, only to find no one there at 1 a.m. She considered calling his assistant, then realized she didn't have one. Still anxious, she continued waiting on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the door, hoping Chi Moqing would burst in at any moment.

But Chi Moqing still hadn't returned by the next morning. Yan Zuozuo was restless, her eyes bulging with dark circles, and headed out the door. If he didn't come back soon, she decided to go to his company to find him.

However, she had barely stepped out when she came face to face with Chi Moqing, who was about to enter. Seeing her haggard appearance, Chi Moqing's heart tightened. "Zuo Zuo..."

"Liar!" Yan Zuozuo had been waiting all night and was worried and anxious. When she saw him, her grievances burst out. She pushed him hard and walked towards the bedroom.

Chi Moqing was taken aback at first, then realized his mistake and quickly went over to pull her away, saying, "It's my fault, it's my fault, please listen to me first."

Yan Zuozuo didn't want to listen at all and tried to shake him off, but she couldn't. She awkwardly punched and kicked him, and Chi Moqing let her vent her anger, just waiting for her to calm down with doting eyes.

Yan Zuozuo was genuinely angry, but she couldn't bring herself to hit him hard, so she could only be angry with herself. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and almost fell over.

Chi Moqing was startled and quickly hugged her tightly, asking worriedly, "Zuo Zuo, are you alright?"

Perhaps because she hadn't slept well all night, her vision of Chi Moqing's face was blurry, and it took her a long time to fully wake up. She struggled to get out of his arms, but Chi Moqing wouldn't let go, carrying her towards the bedroom and carefully placing her on the bed.

Yan Zuozuo was still angry. Even though she felt sorry for him when she saw how haggard he looked, she still forced herself to be ruthless and ignore him. She turned over and covered her head with the blanket.

Chi Moqing hadn't slept all night, which was why he looked so haggard. He climbed into bed, lay down next to Yan Zuozuo, and despite her struggles, pulled her into his arms. The delicate scent emanating from her seemed to ease his fatigue from the night before. "I'm sorry, I broke my promise," he whispered.

Yan Zuozuo's head was still buried under the covers, her voice filled with aggrieved accusation, "I waited for you all night, but no one answered my calls or replied to my texts. Do you know how worried I was?"

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Something happened last night, and I left my phone in the car." Chi Moqing kissed her affectionately.

Upon hearing that something had happened, Yan Zuozuo immediately forgot her unhappiness and nervously asked, "What happened? Is it all resolved now?" Actually, she wasn't angry; she was just worried that something might have happened to him. Now that she saw him safe and sound in front of her, she was only occasionally grumbling.

A dark and ambiguous light flashed in Chi Moqing's eyes, but when he met Yan Zuozuo's worried eyes, he still smiled and said, "It's alright, everything has been taken care of. I haven't slept all night either, sleep with me for a while."

Yan Zuozuo pouted. Although she was very reluctant to forgive him, she still felt sorry for him when she saw how tired he looked. She could only be angry at herself for being so weak. She snuggled into his arms and hugged his waist, saying, "Okay."

Chi Moqing held her in his arms, and soon he heard Yan Zuozuo's soft breathing. He looked down at her sleeping soundly, a hint of doting flashing in his eyes. But soon, his expression turned cold and terrifyingly gloomy.
