Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 375 Ending

When Chi Moqing returned to the living room, he saw Yan Zuozuo sitting there motionless, her face full of worry. His heart clenched, and he went over and called out, "Wife."

But Yan Zuozuo didn't react, so Chi Moqing frowned and felt a little nervous. "Wife, what's wrong?"

"Uh!" Yan Zuozuo was suddenly grabbed by him, her body trembled, and she quickly lowered her head and said, "It's nothing, I was just spacing out."

"What are you thinking about so intently?" Chi Moqing hugged her, letting her lean against his chest.

Yan Zuozuo nestled against him, listening to his steady heartbeat. Deep down, she didn't believe Chi Moqing would have an affair, but his recent spate of mysterious phone calls made her wonder what else he needed to hide from her besides the affair, what else they couldn't share as a couple.

She wanted to ask him, but she was afraid to hear the truth she didn't want to hear. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm thinking about whether or not to take the children back."

Hearing this, Chi Moqing frowned even more deeply. He knew she was lying. His slender fingers lifted her chin, his eyes still gentle, but Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of panic and quickly looked away.

But it was precisely because of this that she realized she was trying to cover something up, so she smiled and said, "I heard that Xiao Ran is also pregnant. Mom is busy taking care of Xiao Ran, and the children are left there. I'm worried that Mom will be too tired."

"Xiao Ran only goes back occasionally, she'll be fine."

Yan Zuozuo paused, then secretly clenched his fist.

"Besides, Mom also loves the two children. If she stays there, she'll have something to do and won't always be looking for trouble with you."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, unsure of what to say for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh.

Chi Moqing looked at her and asked softly, "What exactly happened? Please tell me."

"N-nothing..." Yan Zuozuo's heart was racing. Lying to Chi Moqing put her under immense psychological pressure. She bit her lip, a thought flashing through her mind, "Mom and Can Can don't get along. If she knew we were planning to have a child for Can Can, do you think she'd be even angrier?"

Hearing this, Chi Moqing's expression grew even colder. He stared at her silently, knowing she was still lying. Yan Zuozuo also felt guilty and dared not look Chi Moqing in the eye.

But undeniably, her excuse was well-crafted, and it was indeed a problem they needed to solve. However, with his departure imminent, the fact that his young wife seemed to have something on her mind worried and saddened him greatly.

After all that has happened, does she still not fully trust herself? Or has he disappointed her after all they've been through?

He reached out and pulled her back into his arms, gently stroking her back, a pang of pain shooting through his heart. What had he done wrong to make her afraid to be honest with him?

"Don't worry, I'll handle this." Chi Moqing never wanted to force her; if she didn't say anything, he would investigate quietly.

A gentle and familiar scent enveloped her, and Yan Zuozuo felt her mind in turmoil. Although it was highly likely that Chi Moqing didn't have another woman, she just couldn't figure out what he was hiding from her.

What if it's something that jeopardizes their marriage?

She was terrified and worried. He was all she had in her life; what if even he abandoned her...?

Yan Zuozuo was extremely uneasy and gripped his clothes tightly.

Just then, the doorbell rang. There seemed to be a lot going on today. Chi Moqing got up to open the door and saw Zhou Yijun standing there with a charming smile on her face.

His expression darkened, and he gently closed the door, keeping her outside the living room. "Why are you here?"

"Just passing by, let me give you a heads-up." Zhou Yijun stared at Chi Moqing's handsome face with a pang of regret. How come she hadn't met such a gentle, considerate, and devoted man?

"explain."

Zhou Yijun curled her lip, thinking how cold-blooded she was. After a pause, she said, "I heard that Madam Chi was attacked. I heard some rumors at the hotel today that it was related to Gu Yunxi. However, those people weren't from the Hui Society; they were just a few thugs."

A glint of cold light flashed in Chi Moqing's icy eyes: "Only Gu Yunxi?"

"Ye Hei is still at the police station, saying he doesn't know anything. There's been no movement from Stephen's side for now, so it's hard to confirm."

"Then let's confirm it as soon as possible!"

Zhou Yijun shrugged: "I'll try my best." After saying that, she smiled charmingly and winked at Chi Moqing, "How heartless. We're business partners, after all. When will you do me the honor of coming over for a drink?"

This woman is a vixen; very few men can resist her allure.

However, Chi Moqing was an exception. No matter when, she always had an indifferent expression when facing him. He nodded, "I will bring my wife over after this is over."

What's the point of bringing his wife along? Zhou Yijun was somewhat unwilling, and swayed her slender waist as she left.

Yan Zuozuo waited in the living room for a long time but didn't see Chi Moqing come in, which made her feel strange. She got up and walked towards the door when she heard a charming voice. She panicked and didn't even hear what the two were saying before she quickly went back inside.

It hurts! My heart aches terribly!

When Chi Moqing came in, he noticed that she looked unwell. He sat down beside her, reached out and took her small hand, and asked, "Wife, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head, then smiled and said, "By the way, honey, did I tell you that Stephen is having a party at his house tomorrow night and invited us? Do you want to go?"

Chi Moqing's eyes were full of doting affection as he placed a kiss on her forehead. "Why don't we go? There might be plenty of good food. Wife, let's go for a free meal together."

Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes. President Chi is now even saying things like "mooching a meal" to President Chi. What happened to his elegance and nobility?

Stephen's party, to put it nicely, was a gathering of political and business leaders, filled with beautiful women, and a scene of great merriment; to put it bluntly, it was his womanizing party. The entire living room was decorated in an exceptionally wild and passionate manner, and there were quite a few sexy women performing.

Yan Zuozuo frowned slightly, clearly displeased. Her husband should know Stephen very well; why would he agree to attend such a banquet? Although it was a gathering of politicians and businessmen, filled with various big names, this kind of extravagant event, resembling the Hainan Rendez-Vous, was really not very appealing. She secretly glanced at Chi Moqing, wondering if her husband also had this kind of predilection.

However, her eyes met Chi Moqing's gaze, as if he only had eyes for her and completely ignored the other beauties. She felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Many people recognized Chi Moqing and came over to offer him a toast. Chi Moqing responded with a slight smile, but Yan Zuozuo was very worried. When no one was around, she whispered, "You should drink less. You know you have a sensitive stomach."

Chi Moqing felt a warmth in his heart: "Don't worry, wife, I'll know when to stop."

"It'd better be true," Yan Zuozuo muttered to herself.

Chi Moqing smiled, wanting to flirt with his wife a few more times, but suddenly his eyes narrowed. Was the show about to begin so soon?

Yan Zuozuo followed his gaze and saw the police chief appear at the banquet with several police officers. She was taken aback and asked curiously, "Honey, what happened?"

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "Wife, just wait and see."

People around were whispering among themselves. How did they manage to attract such a powerful figure to this perfectly good banquet? This person was not someone to be trifled with.

The police chief walked up to Stephen and said, "President Stephen, I'm so sorry, we'll leave as soon as we finish our business."

Stephen looked surprised: "What brings you here?"

The police chief glanced at Mi Xuer behind him and said, "Miss Mi, we'll have to trouble you to come with us."

Upon hearing the police chief mention her, Mi Xuer was shocked and stunned for a long time before asking, "Why are you taking me away? What did I do?"

"Ms. Mi is suspected of intentional assault. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation."

"Intentional injury?" Mi Xuer looked shocked. "What intentional injury? Who did I hurt? Explain yourselves clearly. I've been at President Stephen's house for the past few days. You're framing me!"

People around looked over, and the once lively banquet gradually quieted down. Stephen glanced around and said to the police chief, "Wait a moment, I have a few words to say to my butler."

The police chief nodded, and Stephen led Mi Xuer into the study.

As soon as she entered the study, Mi Xuer immediately said, "President Stephen, I swear I really didn't do anything. I've hardly left the house these past few days, you have to believe me..."

“Mi Xu’er, you have to go to the police station today,” Stephen interrupted her.

Mi Xuer was taken aback.

Meeting her astonished gaze, Stephen handed her a check. "A few days ago, Yan Zuozuo and the young mistress of the Clausen family were attacked, resulting in the young mistress being injured. Do you know who did this?"

Mi Xu'er shook her head, puzzled, and then heard Stephen say, "Gu Yunxi."

Her body stiffened, and her eyes widened.

“Didn’t you always stand by Gu Yunxi, ready to live and die together? This is your chance.” After a pause, Stephen continued, “Take the check. As long as you go in and admit that you and Gu Yunxi are accomplices, you can take the money and run away when you get out. Isn’t this your dream all along? I’ll grant your wish.”

Mi Xuer wasn't stupid; she knew perfectly well what taking the check meant. If she really admitted to being an accomplice to Gu Yunxi, her life would be over.

Although she loves Gu Yunxi very much, is it really worth ruining her whole life for her?

"No, I don't want to do this, I regret it... I don't want anything, I want to go back now, I still have a husband, I don't want to run away with Gu Yunxi..." Mi Xuer backed away repeatedly, "President Stephen, I beg you, don't do this to me... I don't want to go to prison, I don't want my life to be over like this..."

Mi Xuer spoke through tears, but Stephen remained expressionless, a cruel glint in his eyes. "Mi Xuer, you should know very well what you're doing. If you admit to it, it's just intentional assault; but if you don't..." He smiled bloodthirstyly, "you should know what your fate will be!"

Like a bolt from the blue, Mi Xuer collapsed to the ground. Her mind was blank, with only one thought: she was completely finished!

The man in front of her was a devil, luring her step by step into his trap with bait. Now that she was useless, he was so heartless towards her.

That matter, and that matter that hasn't come to light yet, otherwise, she would have died an even more horrible death!

Slowly closing her eyes, Mi Xu'er regretted her actions.
