Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 232 Jealousy Arises (2)

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Ms. Yan is the director's assistant, so why don't you tell me what kind of flavor the director likes?"

Yan Zuozuo blinked. "Does the director have specific taste preferences when it comes to coffee?"

She gave Fisher a strange look. Could it be that she was such a failure as an assistant that she hadn't even noticed this?

"Is it hard to answer?" Qin Yun asked with a smile.

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, glanced at her, and then said, "The director has no taste at all."

Qin Yun was completely dumbfounded. What kind of answer was that? Fisher, on the other hand, suddenly burst into laughter. Qin Yun had never heard such a hearty and cheerful laugh before, and her heart sank.

She clenched her fist and looked at Yan Zuozuo, "Are you kidding me?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I'm serious, because I don't have a fixed taste when it comes to coffee, so I always make whatever I want to drink for the director, and he has never refused. I think he's like me, he just doesn't have a taste."

She spoke innocently, but it surprised Qin Yun. Everyone knew that Fisher was very picky about food and drink, especially coffee. She was particular about everything from the selection of coffee beans, the type of water used, the amount of coffee beans, and the water temperature, to even the way the coffee beans were ground.

How could a man so meticulous about everything possibly have no taste? The only explanation lies with the person who gave him the coffee…

Qin Yun felt a pang of pain in his heart. Could it be that Fisher really had fallen in love with Yan Zuozuo in such a short time?

She lowered her eyes, a hint of sorrow flashing in them. No matter what, she could never give him up!

In the CEO's office, Chi Moqing had been studying the documents in his hand for at least half an hour, his sharp, eagle-like eyes cold and calculating. His business trip hadn't gone smoothly; he felt like someone was targeting him and sabotaging him at every turn, and he also had a feeling of being monitored.

The information he had was from an investigation he had arranged, and his guess was indeed correct. He had been watched from the very beginning of his business trip until he returned to China.

Steimans, the largest international conglomerate, wields global influence. However, in recent years, negative news has surfaced alleging connections to criminal organizations, causing its stock price to decline.

The chief executive in charge of the entire Steerman headquarters is the renowned J. No one knows about J's background; all that is known is that the previous president handed over the entire Steerman company to J before he died.

Rumor has it that J is known for his ruthless and decisive style, and no one in the entire Steerman Group is not afraid of him.

It is said that J himself had intricate connections with criminal organizations, so after he took control of Stillman, Stillman became a dark place for criminal organizations to launder money.

It is said that Interpol has tried more than once to find something to do with J and bring him to justice, but even though J is very cooperative, Interpol has not been able to find any evidence of his crimes.

Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes. Why would such a huge conglomerate and such a mysterious man send someone to follow him?

Just as Chi Moqing was lost in thought, his text message beeped. He casually opened it, and his expression suddenly darkened.

As it was almost time to leave work, Yan Zuozuo wondered if Chi Moqing would be home for dinner. She called him to ask what he wanted to eat, but he didn't answer. She figured he must be busy and hadn't heard her call.

She packed her things to leave, planning to go to the market first so she could cook for Chi Moqing if he came home. But just as she stepped out of the office, her phone rang. It was Fisher calling, "Zuo Zuo, I have to work overtime later, come eat with me."

Overtime? Yan Zuozuo frowned, but before she could speak, Fisher hung up the phone. She sighed helplessly.

Meng Xinyu was about to leave with her bag when she happened to see Yan Zuozuo knock on the door and enter Fisher's office. Why was she going to Fisher's office so late? She hesitated for a moment, then decided to find out what was going on.

Yan Zuozuo originally wanted to tell Chi Moqing about working overtime, but then she realized she couldn't get through on the phone, so she gave up and decided to wait until she got back. Perhaps Chi Moqing would see her call after he finished work and would call her back.

Yan Zuozuo entered Fisher's office. Fisher had just finished tidying up his things. When he saw her come in, he looked up and smiled, "Let's go eat."

"No, Director, I came in to tell you. I'll just grab something to eat nearby. You go ahead and eat, don't worry about me."

Fisher raised an eyebrow: "It's already wrong of me to make you work overtime with me, how can you treat your employees like this? Come on, don't be polite with me."

Yan Zuozuo was a little embarrassed, but Fisher had already walked out first. She had no choice but to follow behind, "Director, is there a lot of work? Why don't we grab something to eat nearby and finish up quickly so we can go home and rest?"

Fisher glanced at her: "You just grabbed something nearby for lunch, didn't you?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded. Everyone usually either stayed in the cafeteria or nearby, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

“How can this be? If they can’t even have a proper meal all day, how can their bodies take it?” Fisher frowned and said unhappily, “I don’t want my employees to miss work because of their health.”

Yan Zuo opened her mouth as if to say something, but then realized that she had really taken too much leave, so she couldn't refuse.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Fisher got into the car first. Yan Zuozuo had originally intended to sit in the back, but noticed that the back door wasn't open. She paused, startled. "Director, the car door..."

“Sit in the front,” Fisher said directly.

Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded: "This is not a good idea, I'd better sit in the back."

Fisher looked at her with a half-smile: "What's wrong with that? We haven't done anything shameful. What are you thinking, girl?"

Yan Zuozuo blushed slightly at his words, as if she felt guilty for not sitting in the front, and finally ended up sitting in the passenger seat. Just as she fastened her seatbelt, her phone rang. It was Chi Moqing calling, "Wife, you called me?"

Yan Zuozuo's lips unconsciously curled into a smile: "Yeah, I'm working overtime tonight, so I might be home a little late. I just wanted to let you know."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home," Chi Moqing said in a low voice.

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback: "Honey, you're home? You got off work early today."

"No, I'm still at the company, but I'll be done soon and go back soon."

Yan Zuozuo said "Oh": "Then be careful on the road, and remember to cook for yourself when you get back. Don't make do with instant noodles!"

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife. Call me when you're done, and I'll come pick you up," Chi Moqing said.

Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment and said, "No need, I can take a taxi back. You rest well at home, and I'll try to get back as soon as possible."

Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly after hearing what Chi Moqing said on the other end of the phone. They chatted for a while longer before hanging up. But she was suddenly surprised to find that Fisher's car was driving further and further away, seemingly already out of the city.

She was taken aback: "Director, where are we going to eat?"

"I went to a home-style restaurant in the suburbs with a friend last time, and the food was pretty good. I'll take you there to try it."

"Isn't there a lot of work to do today? Going too far away would be a waste of time going back and forth," Yan Zuozuo said, frowning slightly.

“It’s okay, we can talk about work while we eat,” Fisher said after thinking for a moment.

Yan Zuozuo was a little puzzled and asked, "Director, what kind of work requires us to work overtime?"

I'll tell you later.

Yan Zuozuo nodded. As Fisher's assistant, she could only do whatever her boss said.

Soon, Fisher's car stopped at a casual restaurant in the suburbs. It looked very ordinary from the outside, unlike the decor of those high-end hotels, and the interior was just as simple and unpretentious. But the aroma of food wafted through the air, making one's mouth water.

Fisher called over the waiter, ordered a few dishes with practiced ease, and said with a smile, "Today, I won't let the ladies order first. Try what I ordered first; I guarantee it will whet your appetite."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Since the director recommends it so highly, of course I have to give it a try."

Because there were so many people, the food was served rather slowly. Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but ask, "Director, what kind of work requires overtime?"

Fisher smiled gently: "Sweetheart, don't put so much pressure on yourself while eating. Relax and enjoy the delicious food, okay?"

"Uh! Okay." Yan Zuozuo said helplessly, but her mind was full of concern for Chi Moqing. He would not eat properly whenever she was not at home. She wondered if he would be obedient and cook for her today.

She frowned slightly, wondering if she should call home and give them another word of advice.

"Sweetheart, what are you thinking about?" Fisher called out to her when she noticed that she was distracted.

Yan Zuozuo quickly snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing..."

Just then, the waiter brought the food over, and Fisher put some on her plate, saying, "Try it, it's delicious."

Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat, sensing that Fisher's actions towards her were becoming increasingly intimate. She smiled awkwardly, "Director, I can do it myself."

If Chi Moqing saw Fisher like this, he would be unhappy again. They are husband and wife, and she should respect him whether Chi Moqing is present or not.

"Afraid that President Chi will be jealous?" Fisher chuckled jokingly.

Yan Zuozuo paused for a moment, then nodded generously, "I love my husband very much and don't want him to be angry or unhappy. Although outsiders may think he's petty, I know it's a sign of his love for me. Just like I love him and am unhappy to see him with other women. That's how couples are; mutual understanding is the key to a long and lasting relationship."

A dark, unreadable glint flashed in Fisher's eyes before he smiled and said, "This is just normal business entertainment between colleagues. I don't think President Chi will be unhappy, don't worry." He paused, then winked playfully and added, "I believe President Chi has just as many business entertainment engagements in this area."

Yan Zuozuo's heart clenched suddenly. She forced a smile and lowered her head to start eating. Although the food here was delicious, Yan Zuozuo suddenly lost her appetite. She ate a little, her heart filled with an eagerness to leave. If she didn't have to work overtime later, she would have already grabbed her bag and left.

Fisher could easily read her mood; he was a man with high emotional intelligence, so he immediately changed the subject, wiped his mouth, and said, "Now that we've finished eating, let's talk business."

"Aren't we going to talk about it at the company?" Yan Zuozuo asked curiously.

"This is fine, the location is good, and the ambiance is nice too." Fisher gestured to the waiter to clear the plates from the table, then ordered a pitcher of juice and poured it for each of them.

Yan Zuozuo frowned slightly: "Director, although you are my superior, there are some things I still need to make clear. To me, you are a superior worthy of respect and a senior I admire, but after all, I am a married woman, and I still need to be careful in certain aspects. This is better for both me and the director."

Her resolute attitude surprised Fisher. He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. I'll get straight to the point." He looked up, staring intently at Yan Zuozuo, and said clearly, "Zuozuo, I already know about Meng Xinyu's threats against you."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zuozuo's expression immediately changed drastically!
