Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 158 Something Happened (3)

"Yuyan, has Zuozuo's manuscript been submitted yet?" Fisher asked again.

Zheng Yuyan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I will urge her, Master, please rest assured."

After hanging up, Zheng Yuyan sat in her seat, increasingly sensing Fisher's unusual attitude towards Yan Zuozuo, and her jealousy intensified. She had been by Fisher's side for several years, deeply attracted by both his designs and his personal charm. She loved him, loved him madly, but he had never given her a second glance.

Fisher has many women around him, but he has his own principles and never sleeps with women close to him. Therefore, aside from their professional relationship, she and Fisher have almost no personal connection. If he treated every assistant this way, it wouldn't be so bad, but then Yan Zuozuo came along.

Why should a married woman with children receive special treatment from Fisher? She was indignant!

Meanwhile, Yan Zuozuo sat in her office, reconsidering her design concepts. She had a natural talent for this; soon, many ideas flashed through her mind, which she sketched down.

At noon, Cai Keren noticed that Zuo Zuo hadn't gone out to eat yet, so she asked, "Zuo Zuo, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

"Either is fine, thank you," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile.

In the CEO's office, Chi Moqing was listening to his special assistant report on the company's recent developments. "CEO, those old foxes are getting impatient. In my opinion, they're about to make their move. Shouldn't we prepare to close the net?"

"No rush, let them fuss for a while longer. I want to see what new tricks they can come up with." Chi Moqing tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"President, there's something I think you should know," the assistant said after a moment's hesitation.

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow and heard his assistant say, "Yesterday I went to sing karaoke with a friend at Eight Carats and happened to see Madam there. I was going to go over and say hello when I saw Qi Jiahui blocking Madam's way, as if he was threatening her, and mentioning the shares of Fan Hua Design."

Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes, recalling Yan Zuozuo's words yesterday that she had encountered someone she didn't want to see. After a moment of silence, he said, "Send someone to keep an eye on him, and report any unusual behavior immediately."

He's tolerated Qi Jiahui, this ticking time bomb, for too long; it seems it's time to deal with him.

Yan Zuozuo was working overtime at the company because of the design drawings, and didn't even notice that her phone was out of battery. It was already very late, and she hadn't eaten yet. Her stomach was protesting, cramping painfully. She opened the drawer to see if there was anything to eat, only to find that there was nothing there, so she had to get up to get some water.

When Chi Moqing got home and didn't see Yan Zuozuo, her phone was off, and he couldn't help but worry. He drove to her company and saw that her office light was still on, his brows furrowing even more. He took out his phone and called her again, but Yan Zuozuo's phone was still off. He walked towards the company with a furrowed brow.

In the office, Yan Zuozuo was suffering from severe stomach pain. Drinking a glass of warm water didn't help, so she got up to get more, but her hand slipped, and the glass fell and shattered. Clutching her stomach, she leaned against the wall. Actually, her stomach was usually quite healthy; it was probably the continuous overtime work of the past two months that had caused the stomach problems. She had always told Chi Moqing to take care of his stomach, and now it was her turn to have a stomachache.

She gave a bitter smile, her face was deathly pale, and sweat poured down her forehead; she was almost fainting.

When Chi Moqing arrived at the office, he saw Yan Zuozuo's coat draped over a chair, but he didn't see her. It wasn't until he heard a rustling sound coming from the break room that he went over there.

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback when she saw him: "H-Husband, what brings you here?"

Seeing her in pain, Chi Moqing quickly took a few steps forward and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing his furrowed brows, as if he were very angry, Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but shrink back, taking his arm and smiling guiltily, "I'm fine, why did you come here?"

"Your face is as white as a ghost, and you call that nothing wrong?" Chi Moqing's eyes blazed with anger. If he hadn't seen how uncomfortable she was, he would have yelled at her. He called her to work because he didn't want her to be bored, because he wanted to help her achieve her dreams, not because he wanted her to torture herself.

"Honey, calm down, I'm really fine." Yan Zuozuo tried to coax him away from the problem, but Chi Moqing clearly didn't give her the chance. "You're in this state, how can I be calm?" With that, he picked her up and walked outside, his face dark. "If you're sick because of work, you might as well not go to work!"

He felt sorry for her, especially seeing her like this; he was terrified, and his tone was inevitably harsh.

Yan Zuozuo was in so much stomach pain that she almost fainted, and Chi Moqing carried her into the hospital. When she woke up, there was an IV in the back of her hand, and she heard Chi Moqing talking to the doctor.

"Mrs. Chi's stomach cramps are probably caused by her irregular eating habits recently. We've already given her an IV drip, and she can go home once she wakes up. Here's the medicine," the doctor said cautiously at the Municipal Central Hospital.

Since the municipal hospital was acquired by Chi Moqing, it has become a property under the Chi Group. Faced with their boss's gloomy expression, the doctors were truly terrified.

"When will she wake up?" Chi Moqing held Yan Zuozuo's hand, his voice gentle. He had been too anxious just now and had inevitably raised his voice. Now, seeing her weak state, he felt a pang of guilt.

"She should wake up soon," the doctor said cautiously.

"Okay, you can go now." Chi Moqing took a towel to wipe her face and said softly, "Can't you take good care of yourself while I'm not home? You're such a worrywart little thing."

Yan Zuozuo slowly opened her eyes and saw Chi Moqing sitting by the bed wiping her body. Her face flushed, and she bit her lip, saying, "I made you worry."

Chi Moqing sighed again and placed a warm kiss on her forehead. "How are you feeling now? Is there anything that hurts?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head and forced herself to sit up. "I just forgot to eat dinner last night, it's not a serious illness."

Chi Moqing snorted coldly, wanting to scold her, but couldn't bear to because of her innocent look. "Still trying to lie to me? The doctor said you've been eating irregularly for a long time, that's why you're like this. I'm not home, and this is how you take care of yourself?"

Yan Zuozuo touched her nose guiltily: "I only stayed for the last two days, how could it be a long time?" Seeing that Chi Moqing was about to lose his temper again, she quickly said, "When can we go back? I still have work to finish."

Chi Moqing's expression worsened: "You're already like this, and you're still thinking about work. Should I consider locking you up at home and not letting you go to work?"

"husband……"

Chi Moqing ignored her. Yan Zuozuo pouted, looking like she was about to cry, "I was wrong. I'll eat properly and take good care of myself from now on, okay? Husband..."

Chi Moqing looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, and finally gave in. However, there was an additional condition: "If you get sick again because of work, I'll lock you up at home."

Yan Zuozuo nodded repeatedly ingratiatingly.

Back home, Chi Moqing cooked her some porridge and fed her spoonful by spoonful. Just as he was about to scold her again, his phone rang. A woman's charming voice came from the other end, "President, aren't you coming over?"

Chi Moqing placed the bowl on the bedside table, scooped a spoonful for Yan Zuozuo, and then said, "I won't be going over tonight, you guys can go home too."

The secretary's voice was clearly disappointed; she muttered a couple of complaints, almost like she was being coquettish.

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow at him: "The new secretary?"

He took a tissue to wipe her mouth, nodded and said, "The last secretary went home to get married. This one was forced into the position by my mother. She's my cousin. I'll introduce you to her sometime."

Yan Zuozuo jokingly said with a smile, "I thought President Chi had a new love interest. I'm so sad."

She's smiling so brightly, what's wrong with her?

Chi Moqing pinched her nose: "Naughty." Then he hugged her and rested his chin on the top of her head, and said seriously, "Zuo Zuo, I'm not romantic, and sometimes I neglect you because of work, but once I've decided on someone, it's for life, so you don't have to worry at all."

Yan Zuozuo hugged him, feeling a surge of emotion, and leaned against him, saying, "President Chi, you stole my words."

Chi Moqing was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The next day, Zheng Yuyan went to Yan Zuozuo for the design drawings as soon as she got to work. Yan Zuozuo hadn't even arrived at the company yet when she saw Zheng Yuyan looking at Cai Keren with a gloomy expression. "Hasn't Yan Zuozuo come to work yet?"

Cai Keren shook her head: "Zuo Zuo is always very punctual, maybe she's sick."

Zheng Yuyan scoffed, "Sick? I think she's faking it because she can't deliver her design drafts."

Cai Keren looked at Zheng Yuyan with dissatisfaction: "Director, everyone in the company knows how hard Zuo Zuo works. Isn't it unfair of you to say that?"

"Does it give you the right to lecture me? Don't think I don't know how you got into the company. You should spend your time learning something useful instead of just smearing things all day long." With that, Zheng Yuyan left.

Cai Keren punched her twice from behind. She had the right to put on makeup, but Zheng Yuyan's icy face wouldn't look any better even with makeup. She deserved to be stuck in unrequited love her whole life.

Not long after, Yan Zuozuo came to work. Cai Keren saw her and quickly went over to her, lowering her voice to say, "That tigress just came to cause you trouble again. Be careful."

Yan Zuozuo nodded. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Zheng Yuyan sitting in her seat. She frowned and looked at her. "The director is asking for design drafts again so early in the morning? I'm sorry, I can't finish that many in one night."

"Yan Zuozuo, if you don't have the ability, don't sit in an unsuitable position. Doing so will only damage Master Fisher's reputation!" Zheng Yuyan said aggressively.

“Director, I’ll say it again: if you think I’m not suitable to be Master Fisher’s assistant, you can talk to Master Fisher. Talking to me here won’t do any good. I will do my best to do my job well, but as for anything else, there’s nothing I can do.” She walked to the desk, knocked on it, and said, “Director, could you please move aside? I still have work to do.”

"I need the design and drawings today. If you don't finish them, go tell Master Fisher about a transfer right now!" Zheng Yuyan said aggressively.

Yan Zuozuo's face darkened: "I've already said that I only do my job. As for the director wanting me to transfer, you should talk to Master Fisher about it yourself."

Zheng Yuyan's face turned ashen. Just as she was about to explode, she received a call from Fisher, who was again asking for Yan Zuozuo's design drafts. This made her even more jealous. Fisher, who usually looked down on everyone, actually valued Yan Zuozuo so much, repeatedly asking for design drafts. She was furious.

She got up and walked outside, continuing until Yan Zuozuo could no longer hear her before saying, "Yan Zuozuo hasn't given me her design drawings yet, Master. She's seriously behind schedule. Do you think we should..."

“Then let her hand it over to me.” Fisher interrupted her and hung up the phone.

Zheng Yuyan returned to her office, glaring angrily at Yan Zuozuo, "I don't care what methods you use, the manuscript must be submitted today!"

Yan Zuozuo shrugged and said, "I've already given you my design draft. It's just that the director isn't satisfied. I can't possibly design twenty new drafts in one day."

"This has nothing to do with me!" Zheng Yuyan slammed her hand on the table. "It has to be possible, or else you'll be apologizing to the whole company at tomorrow's meeting and saying that you seriously dragged everyone down!"

Yan Zuozuo clenched her fists tightly, staring at Zheng Yuyan's departing figure, feeling a surge of anger.

As Zheng Yuyan stepped out of the office, a smile appeared on her lips.

Yan Zuozuo, you dare to talk back to me? You'll regret this!
