Chapter 242 A Misunderstanding That Makes Things Worse (1)
During the meal, Chi Moqing remained silent, which worried Yan Zuozuo. "Honey, what's wrong?"
Chi Moqing looked up at her, and after a long while, he spoke, "Wife, do you prefer a gentle and considerate man, or a man who flaunts himself like a peacock?"
Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat. Had he really discovered something?
She pursed her lips, and after a long while, she said, "Honey, what do you want to say?" Her hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened. If he were to ask, perhaps, perhaps she really would have said it...
Chi Moqing reached out and gently placed his hand on hers, saying softly, "Wife, I'm a man, and many times I don't understand what women are thinking. But I want to be good to you and share all your unhappiness, so you can tell me anything. If I've done anything wrong, I'll try my best to change, okay?"
Yan Zuozuo stiffened, staring at Chi Moqing's worried eyes, and suddenly realized that perhaps he really did know something, but had been tolerant and indulgent towards her, giving her time to confess.
She bit her lip, gripped Chi Moqing's hand tightly, her fingertips icy cold, and mustered her courage to ask, "Husband, will you forgive me no matter what I do?"
Chi Moqing's eyes softened, and she nodded firmly, "Yes!"
Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart and bit her lip, saying, "What if I betrayed you?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Zuozuo clearly felt Chi Moqing's hand stiffen. Her heart stopped beating, and she held her breath, looking at him, afraid to see his disdainful and angry expression...
After a long while, Chi Moqing finally returned to normal, gently stroking her face and saying, "I believe my wife wouldn't bear to..."
Yan Zuozuo suddenly felt a sharp pain in her nose. Her eyes reddened slightly. Yes, of course she couldn't bear to part with it, she never could!
"So, is my wife planning to tell me something?" Chi Moqing asked gently, his voice seeping into Yan Zuozuo's heart little by little, eroding her firm resolve.
Tell her, after all, her husband loves her so much...
"Honey, when you're not here, I..."
Jingle Bell!
However, before Yan Zuozuo could finish speaking, Chi Moqing's phone rang. He glanced at her and said, "Wait a minute, I need to take this call." He took his phone and walked outside, not noticing Yan Zuozuo's sorrowful expression.
She sat in her seat, her heart filled with conflict and unease. Should she really confess to Chi Moqing? How would he react to this? Would he be very angry, so angry that he wanted a divorce?
Her hands nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, her heart pounding wildly as she anxiously awaited Chi Moqing's return.
Not long after, Chi Moqing came out. Yan Zuozuo saw his solemn expression and opened her mouth to ask, "What happened?"
Chi Moqing frowned slightly: "There's something I need to do. I have to go out right away. Honey, I'll be right back. Be good, wait for me at home." With that, he kissed her forehead, grabbed his car keys, and left.
Yan Zuozuo watched his departing figure, her heart filled with indescribable complex emotions. She felt a sense of relief, yet also a touch of loss. If she missed tonight, she feared she would never have the courage to tell him again.
She slowly closed her eyes, her heart filled with intense agitation. She kept trying to mentally prepare herself, determined to confess to Chi Moqing tonight, no matter what. Even if he sentenced her to death, she had to make things clear, otherwise, she would go insane sooner or later.
Her determination to speak grew stronger and stronger; she clenched her fists tightly, determined to tell the truth!
However, she waited from ten o'clock until midnight, but Chi Moqing still hadn't returned. She grew increasingly anxious. He had left in a hurry; could something have happened? Otherwise, why hadn't he even made a phone call…?
Besides worrying about what might have happened to him, she was also troubled by what she was supposed to tell Chi Moqing tonight. She had finally made up her mind, but then he got into trouble, and she felt like she was being fried in oil, struggling in extreme pain.
She felt like her head was about to explode, but Chi Moqing still hadn't returned. She bit her lip, gripping her phone tightly, wondering if she should call him.
She would wait another half hour, and if he hadn't returned, she would call him.
Soon, half an hour passed, but Chi Moqing still didn't make a move. Yan Zuozuo became increasingly anxious and uneasy. She was more and more eager to lay everything out, but it seemed that fate was working against her, causing Chi Moqing to miss the opportunity...
She waited and waited, until one in the morning, but Chi Moqing still hadn't returned. She gritted her teeth; she didn't care anymore, she had to call him now. But before she could dial the number, Chi Moqing's text message arrived: "Wife, I have something to do tonight and won't be home. You sleep alone, don't wait for me, okay?"
Yan Zuozuo stared at the text message for a long time, disappointment slowly creeping into her eyes, and her shoulders slumped. She sat dejectedly on the bed, her heart sinking to the bottom.
He's not coming back...
She deflated like a punctured balloon, all the courage she had just mustered vanishing. Perhaps it was fate; she shouldn't have said it...
She didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but she felt so frustrated that she was going crazy. She didn't even care what time it was and dialed Fu Zixin's number directly.
Fu Zixin's phone was answered quickly, and a groggy voice came through, "Zuo Zuo, what's up?"
Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat!
What's wrong with her? It's 1 a.m., and she actually disturbed Fu Zixin's sleep. It's so wrong of her. But if she's left alone like this all night, she'll definitely go crazy.
She bit her lip and asked, "Zixin, is Su Kang home now?"
Fu Zixin was taken aback. From Yan Zuozuo's tone, she knew something must have happened. She glanced at Su Kang and said, "No, he's working overtime at the company tonight. What's wrong?"
"Let's go out for drinks, I can't sleep..."
Yan Zuozuo sounded disappointed, and Fu Zixin quickly sat up. "What happened? Tell me, where is President Chi?"
"Can you please not ask any questions right now? Let's go out for drinks, okay?"
Fu Zixin felt anxious and quickly said, "Okay, okay, where are you? I'll come over right now."
Yan Zuozuo mentioned the name of a bar and arrived twenty minutes later. Fu Zixin also rushed over after hanging up the phone. She knew from Yan Zuozuo's tone that something serious must have happened; otherwise, she wouldn't have contacted her at this time. So, she left Su Kang at home to take care of the children while she hurriedly drove over.
She frantically searched for Yan Zuozuo and soon found her on the sofa in a corner. Several empty bottles were already placed in front of her, which startled Fu Zixin.
"Zuo Zuo, Zuo Zuo!" she called to her.
Yan Zuozuo looked up at her, and after a while, she suddenly reached out and hugged her. "You're finally here. How long has it been since we last saw each other? I missed you so much." As she spoke, she looked like she was about to cry.
Fu Zixin paused for a moment. It did seem like they hadn't seen each other for a long time. She patted her on the back and said, "I'm here now, aren't I? Why are you drinking alone here so late? Where's your CEO, Mr. Chi?"
"President Chi..." Yan Zuozuo gave a bitter smile when Chi Moqing was mentioned, "We're going to break up soon. He's disappeared. It's all my fault. If he finds out, he definitely won't forgive me... Waaah..."
As she spoke, Yan Zuozuo started crying again. Fu Zixin didn't know what had happened, but seeing Yan Zuozuo like this, she quickly patted her back to comfort her, "Don't cry, tell me slowly... Don't drink anymore, what happened..."
"I did something wrong, it's all my fault... He will definitely not forgive me..." Yan Zuozuo finally stopped crying after a long time, and said sobbing.
Fu Zixin handed her a tissue, frowning as she said, "Don't be sad, tell me slowly."
Yan Zuozuo took the tissue and wiped away her tears. She took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down before saying, "What were you doing the past few days? Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Yan Zuozuo originally intended to tell Fu Zixin directly, but just as she was about to speak, she felt that this matter was too private, so she held back in the end. However, she still subtly wanted to know what had happened at the bar last time.
Fu Zixin was stunned for a moment, then said, "You called me? Don't even mention it, I've had such bad luck lately, I keep losing everything, even my brand new phone is gone, I've been looking for it for ages. I just bought a new one yesterday, and I just got a replacement SIM card..."
Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips. It seemed that Su Fei had stolen Fu Zixin's phone and deliberately framed her. She opened her mouth, originally wanting to tell Fu Zixin, but then worried that it would cause a conflict between Fu Zixin and Su Kang. The two had finally gotten together, and she didn't want to cause them any more trouble.
"Why are you silent again? You called me out crying in the middle of the night, is it because you couldn't reach me these past two days?" Fu Zixin looked at her amusedly.
"Yeah, that's why I'm sad. You heartless thing, you lost your phone, couldn't you have used Su Kang's to call me? You made me worry for nothing." Yan Zuozuo sniffed and changed the subject.
Fu Zixin naturally didn't believe her. She looked at her strangely, "Don't lie to me. We've been friends for so many years. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"No, I just missed you. Tell me, how are things going with Su Kang lately? Are you all lovey-dovey?" Yan Zuozuo wiped away her tears, chuckled, and secretly regretted asking Fu Zixin to come out.
"Are you really alright?" Fu Zixin looked at her thoughtfully. "Going out in the middle of the night, doesn't your CEO Chi care about you?"
“He’s not home either…” Yan Zuozuo sighed, meeting Fu Zixin’s probing gaze. Knowing that she was unwilling to give up without getting an answer, she could only say helplessly, “Okay, okay, I admit that I had a disagreement with President Chi, but it will be resolved soon, so don’t worry.”
"Really?"
"Okay. Don't worry." Yan Zuozuo wanted to say something more, but when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, she shuddered!
Why is Chi Moqing here so late at night? Could it be that what he said about having business was going to a bar?
Just as she was feeling confused, she saw a woman with a swaying figure emerge from the restroom and sit down next to Chi Moqing with a smile. It was clear they were together; could his important business be a date with another woman?
Yan Zuozuo froze on the spot, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Tong Shili... Chi Moqing... 2 AM...
Why did they choose to meet here at this time?
