Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 460 This Little Trick

"Director, do you have any handsome young men? I'd like to mentor them." Ding Le raised his hand to speak.

“Me too, I want to eat food cooked by a Michelin three-star chef,” the fox immediately chimed in.

"..." Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched.

In the military commander's office, Chi Moqing frowned as he looked at the official document in his hand.

Since J's defeat in Germany, he has disappeared from public view for a long time. It's unexpected that news of him would surface again in China. It seems he's come specifically for revenge and intends to deal with him with everything he has.

"Mo Qing, we've been ordered to protect the people and take all necessary precautions before Master J makes his move. You've dealt with Master J many times and know him well, so I'll entrust this task to you. Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll have them fully cooperate."

"Understood." Chi Moqing nodded, knowing full well that this was a life-or-death struggle, and he had to win!

Because her baby was already showing, Yan Zuozuo changed into a looser dress for the evening ball. In the years since she married Chi Moqing, she seemed to have become increasingly mature and feminine; this dress suited her perfectly, giving her a captivating charm with every gesture.

She called Chi Moqing, wanting him to come along. But he had something to do and said he would arrive later, which made Yan Zuozuo a little disappointed, wondering if she could handle everyone's unanimous criticism later.

However, she also knew that even if those people wanted to get rid of her sooner, they would have to be careful. After all, her status was different now. If they wanted to openly oppose her, they would have to think twice about their own strength.

Fox drove them to the hotel. When they got out of the car, he stood next to Yan Zuozuo and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. The commander said he'll take responsibility for anything that happens. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

Yan Zuozuo blinked: "He knows?"

"Yes, the commander has seen the Weibo post and called specifically to give instructions."

Hearing what the fox said, Yan Zuozuo breathed a sigh of relief. Just enjoy yourself, okay? It seems her husband already has a plan.

When Ding Le and the fox accompanied Yan Zuozuo into the room, many people came over to greet her, all with smiles on their faces, as if they were very familiar with her.

In the entire S City, she now carries a lot of weight. If Chu Xinyuan or these people want to do anything, they'd better think it over carefully.

Yan Zuozuo was treated as an honored guest, which showed how much everyone valued her. However, she wasn't very happy because there was a nameplate next to her that read Chu Xinyuan.

It seems that, just as she predicted, it was a trap.

She narrowed her eyes, and when she looked up, she saw a tall and imposing man standing in the crowd. He had a very imposing presence, and his upright figure was somewhat similar to that of Chi Moqing.

Could this be Lu Zhikai, Chu Xinyuan's rumored lover?

After the host's impassioned speech, Chu Xinyuan walked out slowly in the dazzling crystal lights, just like a princess. Her delicate face and stunning white dress made her look ethereal and pure, as if even a single tear could touch everyone's heart.

She was a well-bred young lady, so delicate and pitiful that if one didn't know her true nature, one would truly want to cherish her.

"Chu Xinyuan, is she really that delicate?" Yan Zuozu sneered.

"Thank you all for the invitation today. I'm really happy to be here with you all." Chu Xinyuan had a sweet and charming demeanor, but her words unmistakably conveyed the message: I'm delicate and pitiful.

She smiled shyly: "I know everyone's attention is focused on my family background, but it's precisely this background that makes me feel suffocated. I want to be myself, I want to succeed through my own efforts, but it seems no one can see my efforts. I guess I gave up on myself, which resulted in many unpleasant things happening before, and I feel very sorry. I'm really happy to have everyone's forgiveness today and to be able to attend this ball. Thank you all."

At this point, Chu Xinyuan actually sniffed, and her voice trembled as she spoke, her big, watery eyes seeming like they might pop out at any moment.

"I'm sorry, I got a little too excited. I'm so sorry." Her high and mighty status, coupled with her timid and lamb-like demeanor, earned her even higher regard from the crowd.

Giving up on oneself? Yan Zuozuo sighed helplessly. With such good acting skills, why not go into the entertainment industry? Why insist on making a living in the design world?

What an expression that made one want to cherish and pity him! Yan Zuozuo deliberately looked at Lü Zhikai and sure enough, she saw that his eyes were so tender they could melt tears.

It seems that Lü Zhikai is undoubtedly the man behind Chu Xinyuan.

Chu Xinyuan calmed herself down and slowly walked up to Yan Zuozuo, looking apologetic and shy. "Director Yan, this is our first formal meeting. I hope you won't find me unpleasant." As she spoke, she timidly reached out her hand, wanting to shake hands with her but afraid of being rejected.

Although Yan Zuozuo really didn't want to use any uncivilized words, at this moment, only one word came to her mind: scheming bitch. Seeing Chu Xinyuan's almost tearful appearance, she instinctively found it amusing.

"Miss Chu, nice to meet you." Yan Zuozuo's smile remained unchanged.

"I'm very sorry about what happened last time. I'm not very talented, but I was afraid of embarrassing my family, and the pressure was immense, which is why I did what I did. Director Yan, I sincerely apologize to you here, and I hope you can forgive me and be my friend. I really like your designs, please don't reject me, okay?"

"Miss Chu is too kind. Let bygones be bygones. Have fun at the ball today."

Chu Xinyuan picked up two glasses of wine and offered one to Yan Zuozuo in front of everyone, saying, "This glass of wine is my apology to Director Yan. I'll drink it, you can drink as you like."

Yan Zuozuo smiled. After causing so much trouble, she thought she could resolve it with just one drink? Was she kidding?

Chu Xinyuan finished her drink in one gulp, frowned as if she were feeling unwell, and appeared to be unable to hold her liquor. This immediately drew the attention of her admirers in the audience. They either urged her to stop drinking or asked Yan Zuozuo to be lenient. In this back and forth, Yan Zuozuo became the villain for all time.

But how come she remembered that the investigation materials described this Miss Chu as a rather unrestrained woman? Let alone a glass of red wine, even a bottle of baijiu would be downed without batting an eye. It's just that no one dared to reveal her family background. Was she getting too carried away with her act, behaving like a pure white lotus flower?

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Yan Zuozuo was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, a warm arm wrapped around her waist, and a familiar scent enveloped her. A smile played on her lips as she turned to look at Chi Moqing. "Husband."

Chi Moqing placed a kiss on her lips: "Wife, I'm sorry I'm late."

Hearing his deep, sexy voice, Yan Zuozuo was instantly captivated. She couldn't help but lean against him and say coquettishly, "I've been waiting for you for so long, and you haven't come to keep me company."

Chi Moqing pinched her little nose: "You can punish me as you please when we get home." With that, he ignored Chu Xinyuan on the stage, put the blanket aside, and walked off the stage with his arm around Yan Zuozuo's waist.

Chu Xinyuan knew Chi Moqing. She had wanted to get to know him more than once, but he had always rejected her. Even her engagement to the prince hadn't made her as excited as she was to see Chi Moqing now. He was the man she had been longing for, someone she had been yearning for.

Chi Moqing noticed her eager gaze and glanced at her casually.

Chu Xinyuan's face flushed; her crush was looking at her! But it was only for a moment. Then she saw Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo looking at each other affectionately. She lowered her eyes, her hand tightening around her wine glass.

All of this was observed by Lü Zhikai, who was standing not far away. His smile faded, replaced by jealousy. He hadn't expected Chi Moqing to be here as well. They weren't from the same military region, but he had heard of him before.

Invincible!

The most majestic and handsome war god of this century.

The perfect prince charming in every woman's heart...

Such comments have always accompanied Chi Moqing, especially Chu Xinyuan, who praised him to the skies, making him even more dissatisfied with him.

He walked over with a wine glass in his hand: "General Ikegami, I've heard so much about you."

Chi Moqing glanced at him and nodded, "Major General Lü, I've heard so much about you."

"I never expected to see General Chi here, what a rare sight. So this is the legendary Madam Chi, oh, I should call her sister-in-law. Hello, I am Lü Zhikai." Lü Zhikai raised his wine glass.

Yan Zuozuo smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm pregnant and it's not suitable for me to drink alcohol. Please forgive me."

Unexpectedly, Yan Zuozuo was so disrespectful. Lü Zhikai frowned slightly, but quickly smiled and said, "I was wondering why Madam Chi was so impolite and didn't drink the wine that Xinyuan offered. So that's why."

Does this count as verbal abuse?

“Xin Yuan? It seems that Major General Lü and Miss Chu have a very good relationship. No wonder I saw Major General Lü’s arrest warrant at the police station. It’s a rare sight.” Chi Moqing’s lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Lu Zhikai stiffened. He had been uneasy ever since he issued the arrest warrant, but after waiting for so long without any movement from Chi Moqing, he assumed Chi Moqing was unaware of the matter. He never expected him to bring it up now. What did he mean?

Lu Zhikai felt somewhat guilty, not understanding Chi Moqing's meaning. This man's military achievements weren't earned through brute force; his wisdom and shrewdness were evident to all. The clearer Lu Zhikai understood Chi Moqing's character, the more uneasy he became.

Chu Xinyuan walked over with a wine glass in her hand, her eyes and brows exuding allure. Even though she knew Chi Moqing's wife, Yan Zuozuo, was right beside her, her gaze towards Chi Moqing remained undisguised.

Chi Moqing turned his face away unhappily and looked down at Yan Zuozuo, "Wife, are you hungry?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "I'm hungry."

"Let's go get something to eat." With that, Chi Moqing was about to lead Yan Zuozuo to the dining area, but after only a few steps, Chu Xinyuan called out to him, "Moqing, long time no see, won't you have a drink with me?"

Chi Moqing stopped and looked at her with a half-smile, "Have we met before?"

Chu Xinyuan's face stiffened for a moment, then she smiled again, "Now we know each other, Chu Xinyuan."

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Chi Moqing ignored her outstretched hand, still giving her a cold look, and continued walking forward with Yan Zuozuo in his arms.

Chu Xinyuan awkwardly withdrew her hand, gritting her teeth in hatred, staring intently at Yan Zuozuo's back as if she hated him so much that she burned a hole in it.

Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes, a wicked glint flashing in them.

"Director Yan!" Her voice was loud, drawing the attention of almost everyone in the room. "Director Yan, it was all my fault before. I offended you, and I sincerely apologize to you again in front of everyone." She bowed deeply, her eyes reddening. "Director Yan, you don't have to forgive me, but please don't humiliate me. I'll do anything to make amends. Just please don't call me talentless or completely deny my abilities. I promise I'll work harder in the future, please."

Chu Xinyuan's voice was loud, and her apology was truly touching, immediately sparking a flurry of discussion among those around her.
