Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 221 Speaking Left, Feeling Guilty

Yan Zuozuo underwent a series of tests, the results of which showed that although she had been drugged, she had not had sexual relations with Ou Luhan. Although Yan Zuozuo breathed a sigh of relief, she was not completely at ease. Regardless of whether she had sexual relations with Ou Luhan or not, the two had indeed slept in the same bed, and if the Chi family found out about this, it would be unacceptable.

She was very worried and helpless. What would Chi Moqing's reaction be if he found out about this?

She lowered her eyes, not daring to face the possible rage of Chi Moqing, or even the possibility of him leaving her.

Fisher offered to take her home to rest, but she refused. She didn't want to go home right now; that house was filled with the sweet memories she shared with Chi Moqing, and she felt that going back now would taint it.

Fisher felt a pang of heartache seeing her like this, so he found a coffee shop and sat down with her. But Yan Zuozuo just sat there, silent, her face deathly pale. Seeing her out-of-control state, he reached out and tightly grasped her hand, his heart tightening. "Don't worry, I'll help you find out what happened. If President Chi finds out, I can put in a good word for you."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head blankly. Even if she and Ou Luhan hadn't had a relationship, so what? Chi Moqing had told her more than once to stay away from Ou Luhan. It was her own fault for not listening. Now that this had happened, if he was angry, she wouldn't even have an excuse to explain.

Especially since Meng Xinyu has dirt on her and Ou Luhan, if she tells Chi's parents, will they make her divorce Chi Moqing in a fit of anger?

Thinking of this, Yan Zuozuo trembled all over.

She had long since fallen in love with Chi Moqing, and asking her to leave now was tantamount to taking her life. But if she didn't leave, would Chi's parents agree to let her stay? After all, what had happened...

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes, her mind still buzzing, feeling restless and unsure of what to do.

“Zuo Zuo…” Fisher asked worriedly.

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Meeting Fisher's worried expression, she realized she had caused all this trouble herself and couldn't let others worry about her. She forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Seeing her forced smile, Fisher felt sad. At a time like this, who was she pretending to be strong for?

She was so heartbroken and desolate, yet she didn't shed a single tear.

"Zuo Zuo..." he called her softly.

"Director, I'm really fine, but I might need to take a few days off. I need to... calm down..."

"You've finished all your work, you can rest as long as you want." Her smile stung him, and his heart clenched.

He didn't like her pretending to be strong. If she was sad, he hoped she could cry in front of him instead of treating him like a stranger and pouring out all her sorrows to herself.

Seeing Fisher's displeasure, Yan Zuozuo bit her lip and asked, "Did I take too much leave, making things difficult for the director?"

Fisher raised an eyebrow: "Don't overthink it. Are you feeling any better now? I'll take you home and get some sleep. We can talk about it when you're refreshed."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I don't want to go back. If the director has something to do, he can leave first. I promise you I won't do anything stupid."

“Zuo Zuo, I’m sorry.” Fisher suddenly spoke, staring into her eyes and saying slowly, “If I had known that Sophie was this kind of person, I definitely wouldn’t have let you take charge of her case.”

Yan Zuozuo's heart clenched, but she smiled faintly and said, "What's meant to happen will happen. Even if this hadn't happened, something else would have. She's disliked me for a long time. It was my own carelessness, so I can't blame anyone else."

"Don't overthink it. Maybe things aren't that serious yet. Anyway, get some rest these few days and don't let your mind wander. There's always a solution to every problem." Fisher looked at her and patted her hand reassuringly. "Call me if anything happens. My phone is always on."

"Thank you, Director. You're so busy, don't worry about me. I can take care of myself," Yan Zuozuo said with a faint smile.

"Don't try to be tough in front of me. I'm a man, you're a woman, and I'm your boss. It's my responsibility to take charge at this time."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "Director, you really don't need to do this. Otherwise, there will be gossip in the company again, and Meng Xinyu is still in the company. To be honest, I'm afraid she'll go and talk nonsense to my mother-in-law."

The previous incident had already displeased Chi's mother, and she was now really worried that Meng Xinyu would go back and complain to her again.

Mentioning Meng Xinyu, Fisher frowned. "If I had known she was this kind of woman, I shouldn't have hired her in the first place. I thought she just had a bit of a spoiled brat attitude, but now it seems her character is also questionable. In any case, this matter of yours is inextricably linked to me, and I will definitely give you justice."

Before Yan Zuozuo could say anything more, Fisher's phone rang. He apologized to her, got up, and went outside to answer the call.

Yan Zuozuo sat alone in her seat, feeling a pang of sadness. Meng Xinyu now had leverage over her; what would she do next?

She hated herself so much, wishing she could divorce Chi Moqing, that she probably wouldn't let it go this time. Now, Young Master Ou wouldn't explain the situation clearly, and she had no idea what had happened after the drug took effect. Even if she hadn't had sex with Young Master Ou, the fact that her clothes had been changed meant…

She dared not think about it, fearing it would conjure up images she could hardly face. At this moment, she desperately wanted to see Chi Moqing, she really wanted to see him, she longed for him to be by her side, to tell her: Zuo Zuo is alright, your husband is here for you…

But she was more worried that Chi Moqing would despise her and hate her if he found out. If that were the case, she would break down.

She clutched her hair tightly, feeling that happiness was slipping further and further away from her.

Honey, do you ever think I'm tainted and don't want me anymore...?

The thought of Chi Moqing facing her sharp gaze made Yan Zuozuo feel as if a knife had been plunged into her chest, and tears unknowingly rolled down her cheeks.

Honey... when are you finally coming back...?

She instinctively reached for her phone, wanting to see Chi Moqing's gentle face on the screen. But she found her phone was off. She remembered not turning it off last night. Could Ou Luhan have turned it off for her?

She pressed the power button, and soon a barrage of text messages flooded her phone. After about ten seconds of beeping, nearly twenty messages had arrived, all from Chi Moqing.

Honey, why aren't you answering my calls?

Honey, what are you doing?

Honey, are you asleep so early? Did you miss me?

Honey, call me when you wake up, I miss you.

Honey, you haven't turned your phone on all night. Is something wrong?

Wife...

Looking at the text messages, Yan Zuozuo burst into tears. The more gentle and considerate Chi Moqing was, the heavier her guilt became. She was loved and cared for by him like this, but what would she do if he got angry and didn't want her anymore?

An intense sense of fear almost overwhelmed her; she covered her mouth and couldn't help but sob.

Honey, if you find out what happened last night, will you hate me and leave me? I'm so scared...

In two years, she had unknowingly fallen in love with him so much and so deeply. If she were to leave Chi Moqing now, she didn't know if she could bear it.

The more she cared, the more afraid she became, and she grew increasingly hesitant to tell him about it.

Soon, her mobile service notified her of nineteen missed calls, some from last night, some from this morning, all from Chi Moqing. Clutching her phone, tears streamed down her face; she didn't know how to face him.

Just as she was feeling lost and helpless, her phone suddenly rang. It was Chi Moqing calling. Her heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the phone into her coffee cup.

Their wedding photos were flashing on the screen, so happy, their smiles so sweet, but now…

She bit her lip, wondering if her wish to grow old with him could still be fulfilled.

When Fisher returned from the phone call, he saw Yan Zuozuo looking terrified. She was like a lost, frightened rabbit, bewildered and at a loss. He felt a sharp pang in his heart, and his heart clenched suddenly.

He walked over, reached out and shook Yan Zuozuo's hand. It was ice-cold, which worried him. "Zuozuo, what's wrong?"

Yan Zuozuo snapped out of her daze, and it took her a while to realize that her phone was still ringing. She bit her lip and swiped to unlock the screen.

"Honey, why has your phone been off? I've been calling you all night." Chi Moqing's caring and anxious voice came from the other end of the line. Yan Zuozuo panicked and didn't know what to say.

After waiting for a long time without Yan Zuozuo's reply, Chi Moqing spoke again, "Wife, why aren't you saying anything? Is something wrong? Don't scare your husband, speak up quickly."

Yan Zuozuo remained silent, and Chi Moqing's face darkened. "You're not my wife, so who are you?"

Yan Zuozuo was stunned: "No, no, it's...it's me..."

Hearing Yan Zuozuo's voice, Chi Moqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly noticed her unusual tone; she sounded trembling, as if she were afraid of something. His heart tightened. "Wife, what's wrong?"

"I, I'm fine..."

Hearing her stammering voice, Chi Moqing became even more certain that something had happened to her. He frowned imperceptibly and asked, "Why was your phone off last night? Why did you only turn it on now? Did something happen?"

"Uh, no, no... I just went out drinking with colleagues last night, and I might have drunk a bit too much. My phone died and I didn't realize it... I just woke up now, I'm really fine..."

"Did you really drink too much?" Chi Moqing asked suspiciously.

"Yes, there are a lot of colleagues here. Honey, don't worry about me, I'm really fine."

Chi Moqing hesitated for a moment before saying, "That's good. Be a good girl and wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

After a pause, Chi Moqing said, "Wife, next time you need to turn off your phone, remember to let me know in advance, otherwise I'll worry."

"I understand, honey, I'm sorry."

"Silly girl, there's no need to apologize." Although Yan Zuozuo's tone was calm, Chi Moqing still sensed something was off.

Zuo Zuo's tone was off, as if she was suppressing something. Had something happened to her?!

Chi Moqing's eyes darkened, wishing he could fly back immediately.

Chi Moqing's silence made Yan Zuozuo feel guilty. Her heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Honey, I need to get up and wash up. I won't talk to you anymore. That's all, bye."

When Chi Moqing came to his senses, Yan Zuozuo had already hung up the phone. His brows furrowed even more, making him even more certain that something had happened to Yan Zuozuo. He glanced thoughtfully out the window and quickly dialed another number.
