Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 108 Will Pierce the Belly

On the stairs, Yan Zuozuo saw her mother's back as she sat down, and her body stiffened slightly. She glanced at Chi Moqing, still somewhat nervous. Chi Moqing smiled at her, gesturing for her to come over. She bit her lip, mustered her courage, and started walking downstairs.

When Yan's mother heard the sound and turned around, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes the moment she saw Yan Zuozuo.

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said gently, "Mom."

Mother Yan covered her mouth, her eyes reddening. She stood up and pulled Yan Zuozuo over to sit. Yan Zuozuo leaned against her mother's chest as always, her eyes crinkling with joy. Seeing this, Chi Moqing silently retreated to the study.

Yan's mother cooked the fish and brought it out to her from the kitchen. Yan Zuozuo slowly ate with her chopsticks when she heard her mother say, "Zuozuo, I'm sorry..."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. Had Chi Moqing really guessed correctly?

She shook her head, put down the plate in her hand, and held Yan's mother's hand tightly. "I should be the one apologizing. You already told me how bad He Cangyuan was, but I still insisted on looking for him, and this is the result. It's my fault. I made you sad and caused you to suffer because of me."

“Silly child, it was my fault for misjudging people, but I don’t regret it. If I hadn’t been with He Cangyuan, maybe I wouldn’t have you. You will always be my good daughter.”

Yan Zuozuo hugged her mother and said sweetly that she wanted to sleep with her tonight. Yan's mother sighed helplessly; she had originally planned for her to sleep in the guest room. But Chi Moqing insisted that they sleep in the master bedroom, saying that he would sleep in the guest room himself.

Yan's mother couldn't persuade them otherwise, so she had no choice but to sleep with Yan Zuozuo in the master bedroom.

That night, lying in bed, Yan Zuozuo whispered, "Mom, what's the luckiest thing that's ever happened to you?"

Mother Yan paused, her face slightly flushed, and finally said, "It was probably when I met your Uncle Mu that I became pregnant out of wedlock and was ridiculed by many people. It was your Uncle Mu who helped me and gave me a job, so that my daughter and I could have food and drink. Now that I'm with your Uncle Mu, he knows how to take care of people, and I'm living a very good and happy life."

Yan Zuozuo smiled, moved closer to her mother, and said, "As long as Mom is happy."

In the darkness, Yan's mother sighed, "In the end, I still feel guilty towards Yao Qian's mother. If it weren't for your Uncle Mu's help, He Cangyuan wouldn't have had the opportunity to sow discord and cause Yao Qian's mother to commit suicide."

Yan Zuozuo understood her mother's thoughts. She held her hand tightly and said firmly, "It's not Mom's fault. It's all because He Cangyuan is too despicable. He has already flown far away, but he still came back to frame you. Shameless!"

Yan's mother's gaze was distant, and she finally sighed helplessly, "He's always been so selfish, but when I fell in love, I couldn't see anything else, I just thought he was the best, and in the end..." She smiled bitterly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. After a pause, she turned to look at Yan Zuozuo and asked seriously, "Tell me the truth, do you still have feelings for Qi Jiahui?"

“No.” Yan Zuozuo said firmly, looking at her mother seriously. “Just like I told He Cangyuan, whether he is doing well or badly, whether he is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with me anymore. I am very fortunate to have met Chi Moqing.”

"That's good, that's good..." Yan's mother smiled. "It's getting late, go to sleep."

Yan's mother nestled in her mother's arms and fell into a deep sleep, just like when she was a child.

Chi Moqing went to work early in the morning. He felt at ease knowing that Yan's mother was at home with Yan Zuozuo. After what He Cangyuan did yesterday, his determination to deal with He Cangyuan was even stronger. He knew very well that He Cangyuan was a ticking time bomb, and keeping him around would only disrupt their peaceful lives.

He instructed his special assistant to gather evidence of He Cangyuan's crimes so that he could be punished as soon as possible. Coincidentally, before the assistant could even collect all the information, someone else brought it to him.

Cai Keren still had that unique charm, wearing a glamorous miniskirt, big wavy hair, and a pair of high heels that were a full twelve centimeters high.

Chi Moqing glanced at her: "Miss Cai, is there something you need from me?"

Cai Keren chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I thought you wouldn't see me." After all, their meetings hadn't been exactly friendly. Especially since she had framed his wife more than once.

Chi Moqing didn't speak, but simply looked at Cai Keren and gestured for her to sit down opposite him. Cai Keren didn't stand on ceremony and pushed a leather bag in front of him. "This is the account of Fan Hua Design over the past few years, as well as some shady documents from the higher-ups."

Chi Moqing didn't reach out to take it; he simply raised an eyebrow, his meaning clear.

Cai Keren smiled and said, "Is it strange why I'm giving you all this?" She shrugged and said, "Consider it a reward for helping me get rid of Cai Yaren. He was ruthless back then, framing my mother and forging proof that I wasn't his daughter. I've been waiting for him to get his comeuppance for so many years, and it's finally here." As she spoke, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.

"Of course, there are also those bastards at Fan Hua Design. Since they won't let me have an easy time, I won't let them have an easy time either." She spoke viciously, her fists clenched tightly. Normally, those bastards would try to take advantage of her. He Xinrui's outburst made that old CEO force her to resign. All those years she'd followed him, and he didn't even show her any gratitude. Well then, she wouldn't be polite!

Chi Moqing glanced at her, and then Cai Keren stood up. "I've said everything I needed to say. Please tell Yan Zuozuo thanking me for what happened last time. I'm leaving now."

After she left, Chi Moqing took the leather bag and glanced at it. Inside were all the evidence of Fan Hua Design's improper transactions, tax evasion, and falsification of accounts over the past few years, including some related to Cai Yaren's bribery and corruption.

Soon, the case against Cai Yaren came to a conclusion, and it's estimated he won't be released in his lifetime. As for the evidence of the illegal and criminal activities committed by Fan Hua Design, someone "accidentally" handed it over to the relevant authorities. Fines are inevitable, and the responsible persons may even be sentenced. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, what kind of punishment He Cangyuan will receive, remains to be seen.

Yan Zuozuo turned off the TV, feeling that there was too much negative news lately, which was not good for prenatal education. So she picked up the prenatal education materials at hand and studied them while waiting for Chi Moqing.

Yan Zuozuo was a little worried about what had happened lately; Chi Moqing had started leaving early and returning late again, and his social engagements were increasing. Coupled with her own health issues, she was inevitably feeling irritable.

Seeing this, Yan's mother couldn't help but sigh, "Pregnant women shouldn't always frown, the baby is learning bad habits from you."

Yan Zuozuo touched her brow and smiled innocently, "Really?"

"I know you're worried about Mo Qing, but you know he's busy with work, so don't overthink it."

"Mom, I wasn't thinking anything." She touched her belly and sighed, looking at her lower abdomen with a troubled expression. "Mom, do you think I'm over-nourished? Why am I five months pregnant and already as big as other women who are about to give birth?"

Yan's mother glared at her: "You're so thin, you're practically skin and bones. How can you be overnourished?" However, she looked at Yan Zuozuo's belly, which was indeed larger than that of a typical pregnant woman, and muttered to herself, "Could it be twins?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Twins would be best, so we can have both a son and a daughter at once."

Yan's mother also thought it was good. Suddenly, she noticed something restless in her belly and excitedly exclaimed, "Zuo Zuo, fetal movement!"

Yan Zuozuo felt it too, giggling with undisguised happiness. Remembering Chi Moqing's disappointed expression when he couldn't feel the baby's movement the first time, she couldn't help but laugh. Now the baby was moving again, and the poor baby's father was once again denied a chance to feel it up close.

Yan's mother began telling her funny stories about her pregnancy, and Yan Zuozuo listened intently. It was only because she had become a mother herself that she could better understand the hardships and feelings her mother had endured over the years. Suddenly, she hugged her mother and said, moved, "Mom, thank you."

Yan Zuozuo patted her back, her eyes inexplicably reddening. "Alright, alright, go rest for a while. I need to make lunch."

"Okay." Yan Zuozuo returned to her room, eager to share every moment of her child's growth with Chi Moqing, so she called him to tell him that the baby was moving again.

Chi Moqing was first surprised and delighted, then disappointed. "What a pity, I can't make it."

Yan Zuozuo giggled, then suddenly felt her belly move again. She exclaimed excitedly, "The baby heard your voice and moved again!" It was even stronger than before.

"Really?" Chi Moqing was so excited that he wished he could reach through the phone and feel it for himself. "Tell the baby that I'm coming back right away and to wait for me."

Yan Zuozuo smiled, wondering if the baby had truly heard Chi Moqing's words, because it actually moved twice in her belly when he rushed back. Chi Moqing stared wide-eyed in disbelief, touching her left and right, his curious and touched expression incredibly cute. But soon after, he looked at her innocently, pouting, "No, that's all."

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? You actually wish your daughter would puncture my belly?"

Chi Moqing was taken aback: "Will it be exposed?" After a pause, he belatedly realized what he meant and muttered under his breath, "You're lying to me."

Yan Zuozuo laughed heartily, but Chi Moqing couldn't laugh because he hadn't finished greeting his daughter. So, he pressed his face against Yan Zuozuo's belly and whispered to the baby inside her, "Baby, I'm Daddy."

Yan Zuozuo thought that Chi Moqing would definitely be a doting father in the future. Look at him now, his IQ practically drops to zero when it comes to children. She looked at him amusedly and teased, "She had better be able to understand."

"Can't you understand?" Chi Moqing asked, troubled. "I'll try using telepathy."

Yan Zuozuo laughed even louder, mockingly saying, "How about trying ultrasound?"

Chi Moqing stared at her beaming face, completely forgetting to greet the baby, and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, "Wife, I love you."

Yan Zuozuo hugged her, a happy look on her face, and said, "I love you too."

Mrs. Yan was cooking in the kitchen and didn't hear Chi Moqing come back. She opened the door to call Yan Zuozuo for dinner, only to see the two of them hugging. She froze, quickly closed the door, and left, muttering, "Didn't see anything, didn't see anything..."

Yan Zuozuo blushed, glanced at Chi Moqing coquettishly, lightly punched his chest twice, and complained with a pout, "You bad man."

Chi Mo hugged her tightly: "Then I'll play the bad guy to the end." With that, he kissed her passionately. Even when Yan Zuozuo came downstairs, her lips were still red, and she was awkwardly unwilling to let Chi Moqing touch her.

Mother Yan pretended not to see anything, cheerfully inviting them to eat. She looked up and asked Chi Moqing, "Why did you come back for lunch today?" He's usually busy and doesn't usually come back for lunch these days.

"I'll accompany Zuo Zuo to her prenatal checkup this afternoon." Chi Moqing smiled, and Yan's mother finally understood. She said with relief, "Moqing is such a considerate child. Zuo Zuo has married the right person."

Yan Zuozuo giggled and patted her belly. "Maybe I'm having twins. He'll be the one who gets a good deal. Buy one, get two free. He won't lose money."

Chi Moqing laughed loudly, and Yan's mother glared at her amusedly, "Shameless."
