Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 282 Transformation

Ou Luhan's birthday banquet for Meng Xinyu was a grand and lavish affair, attracting political and business leaders. The villa, designed in a European royal style, was resplendent with gold and jade. Meng Xinyu appeared before everyone like a queen, arm in arm with Ou Luhan. As if to showcase their affection, she clung to him constantly, engaging in a close and passionate dance on the dance floor, which thrilled the audience.

Chi Moqing looked thoughtfully at Ou Luhan and Meng Xinyu. He originally thought that Ou Luhan planned to take advantage of the birthday banquet to deal with Meng Xinyu, but to his surprise, he did nothing. For a moment, he was a little confused about Ou Luhan's true intentions.

"Mo Qing, Zuo Zuo, you've arrived." Mother Meng stood beside the two of them, as arrogant as an empress dowager.

"My cousin is getting married, so naturally Zuo Zuo and I had to come. It's quite a lively day. It seems my cousin and Young Master Ou are getting married soon," Chi Moqing said with a faint smile.

“Of course, over the years, women have come and gone around Young Master Ou, but he’s never been formally introduced to anyone like this. Our Xinyu is definitely going to be Young Master Ou’s wife.” Mother Meng chuckled and looked at Yan Zuozuo provocatively. “Speaking of which, we should thank Zuozuo. If it weren’t for you, our Xinyu and Young Master Ou might not have progressed so quickly.”

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "May all lovers be united in marriage. Congratulations, Auntie."

Mother Meng grew even more smug and arrogant: "It's no wonder there's so much talk about you and Mo Qing taking so long to hold your wedding banquet. In the end, you're the one who's been wronged. If it were Young Master Ou, he wouldn't have made our Xin Yu feel so wronged. A wedding should be grand and solemn, so the whole world can know. Otherwise, how stifling would the bride be? Zuo Zuo, don't you think?"

“Auntie is right, I don’t have my cousin’s good fortune.” Yan Zuozuo glanced at Chi Moqing. “I’ve suffered a lot by being with you. If you dare to treat me badly in the future, I’ll find someone even more gentle and considerate than Young Master Ou, and I’ll make you furious.”

Chi Moqing was stunned upon hearing this. He grabbed her waist possessively and said, "No! You can only be my woman. I want to see who dares to take you from me!"

Find someone better than Ou San Shao? That's just wishful thinking!

Mother Meng sneered and glanced at Yan Zuozuo with disdain. "Since you've become a daughter-in-law of the Chi family, you should abide by the rules. What kind of behavior is this, attracting so many suitors all day long! Zuozuo, it's not that I, as your aunt, am targeting you, but everyone has their own fate. If you don't have the good fortune, don't fantasize all day long, lest you end up losing the big picture for the small things."

Faced with her mother's harsh words, Yan Zuozuo remained calm and said, "Auntie is right."

Meng's mother looked at Yan Zuozuo with a strange expression. This woman was so arrogant last time, but now she was so easy to talk to. No matter what she said, she responded politely. It was as if her punch had hit a cotton ball. She felt suffocated.

Forget it, she's probably afraid that Young Master Ou will cause her trouble. Anyway, Xinyu is going to marry Young Master Ou, so she can't be bothered with such a small fry. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with her in the future, no rush.

"Then please make yourselves at home. I still have to attend to other guests, so I'll head over now." Mother Meng sighed, looking troubled. "Today, all the guests are important figures. I'm so busy."

Yan Zuozuo smiled, exchanged a glance with Chi Moqing, and burst out laughing at the same time.

Fisher walked over with a glass of wine, muttering to himself, "What's up with today's leading lady? She was just clinging to Young Master Ou, but now she's rushing to her room. Could she be hiding a lover in there?"

Chi Moqing's eyes flashed as he stared thoughtfully at the room upstairs.

Even after leaving the banquet, Meng Xinyu and Ou Luhan didn't come over to say hello much. Yan Zuozuo breathed a sigh of relief; if they had argued at that moment, the reporters would probably have made a big deal out of it.

Back home, Chi Moqing went to take a shower, while she sat in front of the computer, repeatedly refreshing the comments about her battle with Meng Xinyu. The situation was still biased towards Meng Xinyu, which made her feel somewhat unhappy.

When Chi Moqing came out of the bathroom, he saw her forlorn face, reached out and turned off the computer, turned her around and said softly, "Don't look at those things anymore, I'll handle it. It's getting late, go to sleep early."

Yan Zuozuo looked at Chi Moqing seriously, hesitated for a moment and said, "Husband, I'm not that fragile. You don't need to treat me like a porcelain doll. I can handle these things. You've already done enough for me. It's time for me to face some things on my own."

Women should learn to be independent. After being married for so long, she seemed to have become too dependent on Chi Moqing. Although he was her husband, a pillar of strength, he had many more important things to do. He was constantly busy with these little things for her; she, as a wife, was failing miserably. Moreover, J-Master's background was unclear; he seemed more like an enemy than a friend. She absolutely couldn't become Chi Moqing's weakness; she had to learn to be strong herself.

Sensing the inappropriateness in Yan Zuozuo's tone, Chi Moqing stiffened slightly. "Silly girl, I'm your husband. It's only right that I do more for you. From the day I married you, cherishing you, loving you, and taking good care of you has been the most important thing for me as your husband. It's hurting me that you don't let me do these things. Wife, my heart aches so much."

Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing his words. She looked up at him, almost ready to give in. But she couldn't give in. Marriage required the joint effort of both people, and she couldn't selfishly push all the responsibility onto Chi Moqing.

She turned her face away, ignoring Chi Moqing's cute and coquettish manner, and continued, "I'll leave Meng Xinyu's matter to you, but I also need to learn to grow up. I'm already a mother of two, and I must take on the responsibilities I should bear. Honey, you're so busy with work, so go to work and do your job properly, and don't worry about me anymore."

Chi Moqing felt that Yan Zuozuo was acting strangely, so he frowned and asked, "Wife, is something wrong?"

Yan Zuozuo's words made him feel uncertain, as if she were trying to push him out of her life.

His wife is resisting him?!

Chi Moqing felt a chill run down her spine. What had happened to make her like this?

It took him a long time to come to his senses. He stared at Yan Zuozuo with a serious expression and said, word by word, "Wife, I am your husband. In my heart, cherishing you, spoiling you, and loving you are the most important things. If I didn't care about you and deleted you from my life, then I would be nothing but a walking corpse. Is that what you want to see?"

His wife is his everything; everything he does is to protect her and give her a good life. Why does his young wife seem not to understand this, and even seem to be pushing him away?

Chi Moqing's words pierced her heart, warming Yan Zuozuo's soul, and her large, watery eyes immediately welled up with tears. She reached out to hug him, hesitated for a long time, and then bit her lip, saying, "Husband, I am your wife, and I also want to do things for you. Even if I can't help you, at least I shouldn't be a burden to you. Right now, I only rely on you for everything, which is really useless."

Chi Moqing was stunned: "Who said you are a burden to me? You are the source of my efforts and the motivation to live. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Your presence by my side is the greatest help. How could you be useless?"

"Husband..." The gentler he was, the more uneasy Yan Zuozuo felt. What if J used her to threaten Chi Moqing? Wouldn't he be at the mercy of others? She absolutely couldn't let that happen.

She pushed him away forcefully and said seriously, "I am your wife and the mother of two children. In short, I can't stay in your protective circle forever. I need to learn to be independent and strong. Please don't treat me like a child anymore."

Chi Moqing's eyes were filled with shock. Looking at Yan Zuozuo like this, he felt empty inside, as if something had been ripped out. He stood there helplessly, "Wife, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw Chi Moqing's injured appearance, and her mind went blank. She bit her lip and said, "Husband, if you really love me, please let me go and let me learn to grow, okay?"

Chi Moqing felt a pang of panic. Faced with Yan Zuozuo's unwavering insistence, he was torn. He looked at him, clenched his fist, and said, "Unless you tell me what happened!"

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes: "There's really nothing wrong. I just want to be a woman who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you, instead of just hiding behind you. Husband, I never want to be a burden to you. Promise me, let me become stronger on my own, please."

Chi Moqing narrowed his eyes, recalling all the chaotic things that had happened lately. He figured his little wife must be under a lot of pressure. Although he felt sorry for her and was reluctant to let her go, it was a good thing that she wanted to become stronger. He wanted to always pamper and love her like a princess, but there were always areas where he couldn't protect her. If she became stronger and could protect herself, he could feel more at ease. But just thinking about the process of becoming stronger still made his heart ache and made him feel reluctant…

"Okay, I'll learn to let go." Chi Moqing took a deep breath and looked at her seriously. "But wife, you have to promise me you'll know when to stop. If there's something you can't handle, you still have to tell your husband. We're husband and wife, no matter what happens, we'll face it together, understand?"

Yan Zuozuo nodded. It was precisely because she wanted to stand with him that she wanted to become stronger.

Chi Moqing hugged her tightly and said gently, "I'll send out the wedding invitations in the next few days. Our wedding banquet is getting closer and closer. Honey, cheer up."

Yan Zuozuo nodded in his arms and murmured softly, "Honey, am I taking this for granted? You're so good to me, and I'm still being so fussy."

Chi Moqing was taken aback, then reached out and patted her head. "What nonsense are you talking about? My wife is just worried about me. I'm overjoyed. How could it be being sentimental?"

Yan Zuozuo sighed helplessly. Chi Moqing was always like this, protecting her so she could be carefree, bearing all the hardships alone. However, this only made her more worried. Especially after talking with Yi Fanxi, she felt even more that Master J was a difficult person to deal with. She absolutely could not become Chi Moqing's weakness. If there was any real danger, she wanted to be a strong woman who could protect her husband, instead of hiding behind Chi Moqing and only crying like a little woman.

Since Yi Fanxi is a potential breakthrough for understanding Master J, she'll start with him. Of course, the prerequisite is that she first becomes a woman who won't be bullied!

Clenching her fist, Yan Zuozuo's eyes gleamed with an unprecedented, resolute, and beautiful light.
