Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 385 Let's Make a Deal

After washing the dishes, Chi Moqing came out of the kitchen and heard Yan Zuozuo's painful voice. He rushed upstairs and saw her holding her head as if she had been through something traumatic, muttering to herself.

"Wife, what's wrong? Wife!" Chi Moqing called out anxiously, but Yan Zuozuo seemed not to hear him. In his anxiety, his voice rose, "Wife, wake up! Wife, what's wrong? Zuozuo!"

"No, that's not it... He wouldn't lie to me..."

This time, Chi Moqing heard it clearly. He frowned and hugged her tightly. "Wife, I'm here. Don't be afraid... Wife, sit here and rest..." He gently comforted her while stroking Yan Zuozuo's back. What had just happened to make his little wife like this?

He glanced at the phone lying on the ground, his eyes narrowing. "Honey, did someone call you? What did they say?"

Chi Moqing's words seemed to further provoke Yan Zuozuo, causing her emotions to suddenly collapse. She pushed him away forcefully and shouted, "You liar, get away from me... I'll never believe you again..."

A liar? Chi Moqing was stunned. He tentatively approached her, but Yan Zuozuo immediately pushed him away. Her eyes looked at him with utter unfamiliarity, which caused a pang in his heart. "Zuozuo?"

Yan Zuozuo stared at him blankly for a moment, then took off running. Chi Moqing didn't care about anything else, rushed forward and hugged her tightly. No matter how much she struggled, he wouldn't let go. "Wife, I am Chi Moqing, your husband! Zuozuo, look at me, look at me carefully, I am your loving husband."

Her husband loves her...

Yan Zuozuo seemed to regain her senses, her unfamiliar and cold gaze gradually softening. She looked up and met his worried eyes, her eyes filled with sorrow, and said in a mournful voice, "You lied to me..."

Chi Moqing was taken aback: "What?"

Yan Zuozuo glared at him, tears streaming down her face. "It wasn't like I liked you since we were little. You and Leng Yan... you lived together, you slept in the same bed... I trusted you so much, that was my belief, but you..." She held her head, heartbroken.

Chi Moqing was struck dumb. Living together? Who told her that? He opened his mouth to explain, but Yan Zuozuo pushed him away. "Go out. I want to be alone."

Chi Moqing was worried about her and refused to let go. Yan Zuozuo struggled, but he let her hit him. As long as she could vent her anger, he was fine with anything.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Yan Zuozuo seemed to have cried herself to sleep, collapsing into his arms and quickly falling asleep. He carefully placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and gently wiped away the tears on her face with a warm towel. Only when he saw that she was sound asleep did he breathe a sigh of relief.

My heart aches so much, it's like it's being torn apart.

If he had known that the past would cause his young wife so much pain, he would have preferred to...

Chi Moqing shook his head, picked up his phone from the ground, and realized that the last call was from Stephen. It was him! A surge of anger welled up inside him; he gripped the phone tightly, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

Stephen, you really dared to do that!

It took Chi Moqing a long time to compose herself before she finally took her phone into her study and called back.

"President Chi, it's been a long time. Did you miss me?"

"Stephen, what exactly did you say to my wife?"

"Hahaha!" As if he had expected Chi Moqing to call him, Stephen laughed smugly: "President Chi, this world relies on intelligence and tactics. Although I, Stephen, am inferior to President Chi in many aspects, when it comes to tactics, the outcome is hard to say."

"Stop beating around the bush! What exactly did you say to Zuo Zuo?" Chi Moqing gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Stephen to pieces.

"He didn't say much, just told Zuo Zuo about some things from back then. You've been married for so many years, you can't keep her in the dark forever. Childhood sweethearts, unwavering love? Hahaha, so President Chi isn't that devoted after all. No wonder Leng Yan still thinks about you."

Chi Moqing felt as if he had been hit hard, and his mind went blank.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Stephen burst into laughter. "What, even President Chi has moments of fear? It turns out that the internationally renowned God of War isn't without weaknesses after all."

"Stephen, I'm warning you, don't try any more tricks on me, or I won't let you off easily!"

Noticing that Chi Moqing had lost her usual composure and self-control, Stephen became even more smug. "President Chi, why aren't you letting me off easy? Will you kill me or cripple me? However, I also have a word of advice for President Chi: if anything happens to me, those photos that I bought at great expense will end up in Mrs. Chi's hands, hahaha!"

Stephen laughed wildly, while Chi Moqing clenched his fists tightly. If he weren't desperately suppressing his emotions, he would have killed Stephen right now. Had the thing he feared and worried about most in all these years of marriage finally happened?

From the moment Leng Yan appeared, he knew this matter couldn't be hidden for long, and he never intended to keep it a secret indefinitely. But it certainly wouldn't be revealed like this, through someone else's mouth!

"Stephen, it seems you know quite a lot. How is your wife?"

Stephen paused, his eyes narrowing: "This is a personal matter between you and me, don't involve my wife!"

"I never would have guessed that Stephen loves SUMI so much. But this time, you struck first," Chi Moqing sneered.

The person on the other end of the phone paused for a long time before saying, "You can only blame yourself for offending my godfather back then. I will definitely not be lenient with you. But I have also witnessed President Chi's methods, and naturally I also have my own weapons to protect myself."

Glancing at the time, Chi Moqing said coldly, "Stephen, let's make a deal."

Stephen was somewhat surprised by Chi Moqing's response. Aside from the Chi Group, a rapidly growing multinational corporation, Chi Moqing was still an internationally renowned war god. His supposed retirement was merely a cover for concealing his identity, waiting for a big fish to appear; resuming his true identity then would be a piece of cake.

A man who has made his mark in both the military and business worlds, you actually want to do business with him? You must be joking!

Chi Moqing snorted coldly and said, word by word, "Kay, an international drug lord, the only female leader in the Mafia."

Stephen froze, the smug smile on his face vanishing instantly. "Chi Moqing, just how much do you know?!"

"I don't know much about you, but it's enough," Chi Moqing said coldly. "Stephen, your Mafia identity and the lives you've taken are enough to warrant execution even in China."

"Chi Moqing, you'd better not even think about touching SUMI. If you dare to use SUMI against me, I'll take you down with me!"

Chi Moqing sneered: "Do you think you have that ability?"

Stephen gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"If you're a man, don't make trouble for women. Everyone has a past they don't know about. As a member of the Mafia, you have a lot of blood on your hands. Even if you don't resort to legal action, as long as the news gets out, your enemies won't let you off the hook. If President Stephen dies in an accident, it has nothing to do with me."

Stephen gripped his phone tighter, grinding his teeth, "Chi Moqing, you're ruthless!"

"Want to do business with me?"

Stephen paused, trying to calm the surging anger within him. SUMI was indeed Kay, an internationally notorious drug lord and the person who controlled the economic lifeline of the Mafia. She had long been under the surveillance of Interpol, and to better carry out their work, they deliberately had her arrested, then rescued her under a different identity, changed her face, and transformed her into the SUMI she was now.

As for the original SUMI, she had long since died at his hands, along with several others who knew the truth. He thought he had kept this very secret, and that so many years had passed that no one would know. Little did he expect that, after all these years, Chi Moqing would actually find out.

Wait a minute, does that mean Chi Moqing already knew his identity and SUMI's situation before she even approached him? If that's the case, then this man is truly terrifying, capable of anything!

Stephen had always thought the Mafia's intelligence network was incredibly extensive, but facing Chi Moqing, he suddenly felt a sense of unease. He was like a fish on a chopping board, and Chi Moqing was the butcher.

But was he really going to just admit defeat like that? He refused to accept it!

“Okay, go ahead.” Stephen narrowed his eyes. Even if he compromised this time, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. But SUMI absolutely could not be harmed; she was related to the entire Mafia.

Chi Moqing's lips curled slightly. He had a good relationship with SUMI when they were in college. He knew better than anyone what kind of person SUMI was. But after getting to know her, no matter how much she tried to imitate him, it was no longer the same feeling.

Chi Moqing had a vague feeling that SUMI had been murdered, but he wasn't sure. After all, they hadn't seen each other often, and many years had passed since then. But now, seeing SUMI again, he was almost certain that the woman wasn't the same one he knew.

He launched an investigation, but never expected to uncover such a shocking conspiracy. It wasn't that he didn't intend to deal with them, but rather that he didn't have the time right now. He would return to deal with them after he finished dealing with J-Master's matter.

It was already broad daylight. Yan Zuozuo slowly opened her eyes, feeling extremely dry and in pain.

Chi Moqing came in with a cold towel. "Awake?" Yan Zuozuo nodded, and he carefully placed the towel on her face. "Close your eyes and apply a cold compress."

A chill ran through her, and Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but gasp. It felt like she'd just had a very long dream, but now that she was awake, she remembered nothing. Taking the towel away, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "How long did I sleep?"

"It's almost nine o'clock, are you hungry?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, just about to say she was going to be late, when she remembered it was Saturday. She sighed, recalling how she had lost control of her emotions earlier. Lowering her eyes, as if trying to compose herself, she asked, "Honey, has anyone called me?"

"Young Master Ou and Shang Xiaoruo had a fight about tomorrow's engagement banquet."

"Isn't anyone else here?"

Chi Moqing shook his head: "Only them." As he spoke, he handed her his phone.

Yan Zuozuo glanced at it, then placed it back beside her pillow. She didn't say a word, but quietly walked towards the bathroom.

Chi Moqing was worried when he saw her like this, but she didn't want to talk, and he didn't know how to start the conversation.

When Yan Zuozuo came out, Chi Moqing had already placed breakfast on the table. She didn't refuse and ate quietly. The living room was eerily silent, with only the clinking of spoons and bowls.
