Chapter 258 Conquering My Darling Wife (1)
She turned around abruptly, and when she saw who it was, she was struck dumb, her eyes widening in astonishment. "Deputy Director Qin, you..."
Suddenly, she remembered the "Little Yun" that the old man had just mentioned. Could it be Qin Yun?
What a coincidence!
Qin Yun walked over, shoved Yan Zuozuo aside, glanced at the old man, and said in a low voice, "Come out with me!"
Yan Zuozuo was practically dragged out of the room by Qin Yun. She was a little worried about the old man, so she forcefully shook off Qin Yun's arm and said, "Let's talk here. Your father is sick and can't be left alone."
"You know that's my father, so why are you fawning over him? Or are you trying to get some information out of him?" Suddenly, Qin Yun's expression hardened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Yan Zuozuo, I'm warning you, whatever my father said to you, you better not tell anyone, or I'll make you regret it!"
Yan Zuozuo looked at Qin Yun with a strange expression and asked with amusement, "Miss Qin, have you done something wrong? Why are you so afraid of others finding out?"
"You!" Qin Yun glared at her, his eyes filled with malice. "If you don't want the recordings I have to be exposed, you'd better shut up, or you'll be ruined!"
Yan Zuozuo glanced at her and sneered, "Deputy Director Qin, your father is still seriously ill. Instead of going in to take care of him, what good is it to just stay here and warn me?"
"My affairs are none of your business, and my father is even less of your concern. Get out of here now!" Qin Yun growled, pointing to the door.
Yan Zuozuo was about to say something when she heard a trembling voice from inside the room, "Xiaoyun, are you still there?"
Qin Yun didn't speak, but just stared at Yan Zuozuo. Yan Zuozuo frowned, pursed her lips and said, "The old man is calling you. Go inside. I'm going home." After saying that, she turned and left.
"Wait a minute!" Qin Yun suddenly spoke up, then took out a wad of cash from her wallet and stuffed it into her hand. "Consider this as you taking care of my dad for me. Take this money. Remember, you're not allowed to say a word about what you said today!"
Yan Zuozuo looked at Qin Yun with a half-smile: "Trying to use this money to shut me up? Isn't Deputy Director Qin being a bit too stingy?"
"You're trying to extort me?" Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly, "You should take good care of the old man. I'm leaving." She then stuffed the money into her arms again.
Qin Yun stared at Yan Zuozuo's retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly. A moment later, he glanced at the old man's room and gritted his teeth, saying, "That old bastard, he's always causing me trouble!"
Yan Zuozuo was cooking dinner when she heard a knock on the door. She quickly turned off the stove and went out, where she saw Yi Fanxi standing outside. "You've come at the right time. I've made some porridge. I'll bring a bowl to the old man later. He's not feeling well right now, so some porridge will be good for him."
Yi Fanxi nodded and followed Yan Zuozuo into her room, pursing her lips as she asked, "You saw her today?"
"Who?" Yan Zuozuo was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was going on and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that the old man is actually the father of Deputy Director Qin."
"Did she say anything to you?" Yi Fanxi asked calmly, taking the tea that Yan Zuozuo handed him. "Whatever she said, don't worry about it. That's just the kind of person she is. Just ignore her."
Yan Zuozuo went to the kitchen, turned on the stove, tasted the food, and said, "It'll probably take another ten minutes. You can sit here and wait." As she spoke, she returned to the living room and said, "Excuse my bluntness, but it seems you and Deputy Director Qin don't get along?"
Yi Fanxi curled her lips and said with a hint of sarcasm, "If it weren't for the fact that I'm still somewhat useful, she probably would never have come back to see my adoptive father in her entire life."
Yan Zuozuo was stunned and hadn't come to her senses when she heard him continue, "If you really work for the same company as her, take my advice and avoid getting involved with her. Be careful, or you might get framed and not even know how you died."
Yan Zuozuo nodded, indicating that she deeply understood. The porridge was almost ready, so she quickly ladled out two bowls. "Is Grandpa sleeping now? Would you like to eat before you go over?"
Yi Fanxi nodded, took the porridge from her hand, and ate it slowly. Yan Zuozuo asked, "Has the old man's fever subsided? What did the doctor say?"
"He caught a cold and has already started an IV drip. He'll probably need to continue for three days."
Yan Zuozuo understood. She opened her mouth as if to ask Qin Yun and the old man about their affairs, but then felt that it was their family matter and it was inconvenient to ask too much, so she kept quiet.
Yi Fanxi glanced at her, then said while drinking her porridge, "My adoptive father used to drink a lot when he was young, and he would beat people when he was drunk. At that time, our family was not well-off, and my adoptive mother was forced to work as a bartender. Qin Yun was always by her side, and perhaps through constant exposure and subtle influence, she gradually became..."
Yi Fanxi paused, as if searching for the right word, and finally said, "She wasn't herself anymore, and even started selling her body. When my adoptive father found out, he beat her up. In a fit of anger, she ran away from home. My adoptive mother died in a car accident while chasing after her. From then on, she never forgave my adoptive father."
"And then?" Yan Zuozuo asked curiously.
“She met a rich young man, went abroad with him, and that’s how she got her current status. She’s never come back all these years. Only after she found out my identity did she use the excuse of visiting my adoptive father to ask me to write a review for her.”
Yan Zuozuo looked conflicted. She really didn't know whether to sympathize with Qin Yun or say something else. Seeing Yi Fanxi finish her bowl, she asked, "Want some more?"
Yi Fanxi nodded, seemingly a little shy, "I'll pay you from now on. Could you make a couple more bowls when you cook?"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, then chuckled softly, "How much can you eat when you eat with the old man? I'm just adding two more bowls of water, why should I pay?" She placed the porridge in front of him, "Eat up, it's free."
Yi Fanxi rarely showed a smile, just like a bright and sunny young man.
It's been 28 minutes and 36 seconds!
Chi Moqing gritted her teeth silently, wishing she could rush in right now and drag that clueless man out. Her wife was home alone; what had this kid been doing inside for so long?
He had already decided that he would throw a tantrum and act like a brat to get his wife back today. The people here were all so unreliable; he had to be careful that his wife wasn't kidnapped.
Just as Chi Moqing made up his mind to rush in as soon as Yi Fanxi left, the sky suddenly rumbled, and a torrential downpour began in no time. The dense raindrops fell on him, soaking him to the bone.
He had been thinking about going back to change his clothes, but then his eyes lit up. He touched the spot on his face where Ou Luhan had injured him last time, and then looked at himself, soaking wet. He quickly calmed down. He refused to believe that Yan Zuozuo would have the heart to blame him or refuse to go back with him when he appeared in such a disheveled state.
After waiting for about half an hour, Yi Fanxi finally left Yan Zuozuo's house, and Chi Moqing immediately rushed over.
Yan Zuozuo was washing dishes in the kitchen, thinking she would buy some fruit later to visit the old man. Although she and Qin Yun didn't get along very well, the old man was a very kind person and had helped her a lot since she came here.
After washing the dishes, she dried her hands and was about to leave when she heard the doorbell ring. She went to open the door and saw a tall, handsome man standing outside. His clothes were soaked through, outlining his strong and muscular body. Rain was still dripping from his hair, his face was pale, and his lips were bluish-purple.
"Wife..."
With a loud bang, Yan Zuozuo slammed the door shut with lightning speed.
My God, it's actually Chi Moqing!
Chi Moqing was standing outside the door!
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Yan Zuozuo felt her heart pounding so hard it was about to jump out of her throat.
Damn it! It's raining so hard outside, how long has he been out there?
Yan Zuozuo was heartbroken, but she had already escaped and finally made up her mind to cut ties with him. She absolutely could not be soft-hearted at this moment.
She looked at Chi Moqing through the peephole and saw that he was still standing outside the door, wearing soaking wet clothes and looking pitiful. She almost impulsively opened the door.
President Chi acting cute is a scene that's both heartbreaking and hilarious.
As time went on, it seemed that if she didn't leave, Chi Moqing probably wouldn't leave either. Even if he was physically strong, he couldn't withstand this kind of torment.
Helpless, Yan Zuozuo had no choice but to open the door, but her first words to him were, "President Chi, what exactly do you want to do?"
Chi Moqing froze. What did he want to do? Of course, he wanted to take his wife back!
His deep eyes, as dark as ink, stared at her intently.
Yan Zuozuo felt inexplicably guilty, her hands clenched tightly. "If you came here for the divorce, I'll go back in a few days, and we'll go and get the divorce papers done then."
Chi Moqing's lips were pressed into a tight line, and his eyes, fixed on her, seemed filled with sorrow. He didn't speak, he just looked at her.
Yan Zuozuo took two steps back uneasily. Chi Moqing looked down at her, which made her even more frightened.
"Wife..." Chi Moqing murmured, taking two steps forward.
"Stop! Don't come any closer!" Yan Zuozuo immediately shouted. "President Chi, we're getting a divorce. I'm no longer your wife. Say what you have to say and then leave."
"Honey, I'm sorry. I know you don't want to see me, but I can't help it. These past few days, I've only been able to watch you from afar, unable to touch you. I'm going crazy."
These past few days?!
Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened. So, Chi Moqing has been here for several days now? She pursed her lips, her mind racing, wondering if she had done anything to cause him to misunderstand, or if she had made him angry.
*Smack!* Yan Zuozuo slapped herself on the head. What was she worried about? They were getting a divorce anyway; whatever she did, even if he was unhappy, was none of her business. However, she was still very curious: how long had he been there?
Chi Moqing seemed to have read her thoughts, and said with a pursed lip, "I came the same day you came."
"...!!!" Yan Zuozuo was shocked. So, all these days, she had been living under President Chi's surveillance. She gritted her teeth, "Chi Moqing, what exactly do you want? Just say it all at once, okay? I'm going crazy!"
