Chapter 202 Mother Chi's Favoritism
Chi Moqing hesitated for a long time before saying slowly and deliberately, "Wife, I regret it."
Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded and didn't react for a long time. "Aren't you going to see the baby?"
Chi Moqing shook his head, humming, "I shouldn't have agreed to let Fisher join Fan Hua Design in the first place."
They lost money? That shouldn't be the case, their new collections this season sold very well.
Yan Zuozuo looked at him, puzzled: "Did Fisher do something that displeased you?"
Chi Moqing nodded, her face full of grievance.
This made Yan Zuozuo even more interested. Who was Chi Moqing? No matter how arrogant and domineering Fisher was, could he be more domineering than President Chi?
"So what did he do?"
"To attract my wife's attention!" Chi Moqing said through gritted teeth.
Yan Zuozuo was suddenly speechless. What kind of ridiculous reason was this? She had only glanced at him out of curiosity; what on earth was this guy thinking?
"I'm not attracted to him, I'm just curious. What kind of idiot are you playing?" Yan Zuozuo wished she could knock a hole in his head.
Chi Moqing frowned: "See? You're getting more and more impatient with me."
"..." Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched, and she glared at him angrily, "If you keep acting like an idiot, I'll get even more impatient." She got up and walked outside.
Chi Moqing quickly followed behind, sighing deeply, "You even took your anger out on me."
Yan Zuozuo paused, gritted her teeth, and turned back, "President Chi, that's enough! If you keep talking nonsense, I..."
Suddenly, Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened in astonishment as she stared at the man who had succeeded in his scheme. He pulled her close and forcefully kissed her lips without any hesitation. As if she had seen a flash of light, she was about to push Chi Moqing away when he released her first, smiling like a cat that had stolen cream, "Now I'm balanced."
Yan Zuozuo was both annoyed and amused. Looking around, she saw a young man with a camera taking pictures not far away. Startled, she quickly said, "Honey, someone's taking pictures of us."
Chi Moqing acted as if it were a common occurrence, putting his arm around her waist and saying, "You're my wife, so let's take the pictures."
Yan Zuozuo was speechless; the problem was, she didn't want to be a celebrity.
After getting into the car, Chi Moqing was about to call home to tell his parents when his phone rang. It was Park Sun-hee calling, saying that she had moved to a new house and wanted to have dinner with him.
Chi Moqing sneered: "My wife and I need to go home to see our child, we don't have time."
“I can go back with you too,” Park Sun-hee said sweetly.
Chi Moqing's face darkened: "In what capacity will Secretary Park come back with me?"
"Maybe I'm already carrying your child. Children always need to meet their grandparents eventually."
Chi Moqing's phone was on speakerphone, and Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded after hearing this. Not to mention that Chi Moqing had undergone sterilization surgery and could not have children, even if he did, how could a third party have the nerve to come to his door so openly?
"Then let's talk about it after you have a child!" After saying that, Chi Moqing hung up the phone, but Yan Zuozuo frowned. "Aren't you afraid that by provoking her like this, she'll go around telling everyone she's really pregnant?"
"Isn't that better? The child will definitely not be mine."
Yan Zuozuo stared into his cold eyes, feeling that Chi Moqing was particularly disgusted with Park Sun-hee. She asked, "Did you find out something? Why do you have this feeling that you want to kill her?"
Chi Moqing was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "It's her fault for making my wife suffer. Don't overthink it."
"Have you really not found out her identity yet?" Yan Zuozuo always felt that Chi Moqing was hiding something from her.
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "When have I ever lied to you?"
Yan Zuozuo tilted her head and thought for a moment, and it seemed that there really wasn't any. Perhaps she was overthinking it, so she said, "Then let's go."
"I'll listen to my wife." Chi Moqing pinched her cheek and drove towards the military compound.
As always, Mrs. Chi cheerfully welcomed them in and instructed the nanny to prepare a few more of their favorite dishes for the day. Yan Zuozuo sat on the sofa and chatted with Mrs. Chi for a while, then said she was going upstairs to see the baby and left.
When Chi's mother saw her go upstairs into the baby's room, her smile vanished, and she said somewhat unhappily, "Why did you send Xinyu to the countryside? Your aunt only has this one daughter, and she cherishes her dearly. Now that you've taken her away, your aunt comes to me crying every day. What kind of situation is this?"
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "Does Mom think I did something wrong?"
"It's not that she's wrong, but she's still your aunt's daughter. Even if we don't care about her, let's bring Xinyu back as soon as possible so I can have some peace and quiet."
"Does Mom mean that we should just let Zuo Zuo be the one who got framed, and then let Xin Yu do whatever she wants next time?"
Chi's mother's expression stiffened: "Xinyu has learned her lesson this time, and she shouldn't do it again."
Chi Moqing smiled enigmatically: "Is Mom sure?"
"This..." Chi's mother stammered, knowing full well Meng Xinyu's spoiled temper. This time, Chi Moqing punished her because of Yan Zuozuo, and she was afraid that Meng Xinyu would be resentful and might do something in the future.
But after all, Meng Xinyu was someone she had watched grow up, and she was her own sister's daughter. It wouldn't be right to let her stay in the countryside for a year or two, would it? Lately, Meng Xinyu had been calling her every day crying, and her mother had been coming over constantly, insisting that she persuade Chi Moqing to let Meng Xinyu come back. It wasn't that she wanted to favor her niece; she was just really getting fed up with her.
"If I let her come back now, she'll cause all sorts of trouble. What am I supposed to do then, Mom?" Chi Moqing tossed the question to her mother, not in a hurry to refuse.
Chi's mother was a very understanding person. After Chi Moqing said that, she immediately felt that Meng Xinyu deserved to be taught a lesson. On one side was her daughter-in-law, and on the other was her niece. She was bound to favor her own family.
So, she sighed helplessly and said, "This child wasn't like this before. Now he's been spoiled by your aunt... Oh well, I'm not going to interfere anymore. Let you do whatever you want..." As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen.
Chi Moqing smiled helplessly and went upstairs to see the children.
Yan Zuozuo had just checked on the child while she was sleeping and was about to go downstairs when she overheard Chi's mother talking about Meng Xinyu. She quietly retreated and eavesdropped from the corner of the stairs. To be honest, she could understand Chi's mother's predicament and wasn't angry.
When Chi Moqing returned to her room, she saw her sitting alone by the baby's crib, looking at the child, seemingly lost in thought.
He walked over, sat down beside her, reached out and touched the child's chubby little face, a smile playing on his lips. "So cute, these two little ones are looking more and more like you."
"I think their features resemble yours more; they'll definitely grow up to be two handsome little boys." Yan Zuozuo tidied the baby's blanket, her face full of maternal love.
"Thank you for the compliment, my wife," Chi Moqing said smugly after stealing a kiss.
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes. President Chi had been getting more and more narcissistic lately. After a pause, she asked, "Did Mom just mention my cousin?"
Chi Moqing nodded, teasing the child as she said, "Don't worry, Mom is very understanding and didn't make things difficult for me."
Yan Zuozuo glanced at him and sighed, "They're all relatives, and she's your only cousin. I think we should just let it go."
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow, narrowed his eyes, turned her body around, and said seriously, "Did Mom's words just now upset you?"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback and slapped his hand away. "Stop trying to sow discord between me and Mom. Mom treats me like her own daughter. Why would I be angry with her? I'm serious. Mom and Aunt have a good relationship. You can't put Mom in the middle and make things difficult for her. Just teach her a lesson and let your cousin come back in a couple of days."
Chi Moqing looked at her with great interest: "My wife is so considerate and gentle, I will definitely do my best tonight."
Yan Zuozuo blushed and immediately pushed him away, "You're being inappropriate! I'm going to help Mom cook, you stay with the baby for a while."
As she spoke, she started to walk downstairs, but before she had taken two steps, Chi Moqing stretched out his long arm and pulled her back into his arms, holding her tightly, and then kissed her passionately and domineeringly.
He was earnestly implementing the policy of "behaving well," kissing her for a long time before letting go. Staring at Yan Zuozuo's tomato-like face, a smile slowly crept onto his lips. "This is just an appetizer. The main course will be served tonight, be good."
Yan Zuozuo was panting in his arms, still feeling dizzy and weak. She glared at him and said, "You're so mean! You're not allowed to sleep in the bed tonight!"
Chi Moqing looked at her amusedly: "If you're not afraid of being overly concerned by your mother, I can sleep in the living room. Honey, I'll be happy to oblige."
Yan Zuozuo gritted his teeth in anger. A shrewd businessman is a shrewd businessman; he never forgets to show his true colors.
She tried to push him away, but Chi Moqing wouldn't let her go. His slender fingers gently caressed her rosy lips as he said in a deep voice, "Wife, it's my blessing to have married you. Thank you."
Yan Zuozuo blinked, her face darkening further. She pouted and said, "If you know I'm good to you, don't always bully me. Be careful, or I might run away one day."
"I won't give you a chance." He suddenly leaned closer to her, his hot breath spraying on her face, and gave her earlobe a playful bite, saying in a low voice, "This isn't bullying you, it's clearly showing my affection."
Yan Zuozuo's face turned completely red this time. Saying something so ambiguous would unconsciously remind her of the passionate scene between him and her that night. Ahhh, it was just too...exciting. She immediately took two steps back, and just as she was about to speak, her phone rang.
Upon seeing the number above, she was taken aback: Park Sun-hee!
That's strange. She just called Chi Moqing, so what's the meaning of her calling her again now?
She glanced at Chi Moqing, hesitated, and then answered the phone. However, before she could speak, she heard Park Sun-hee's sweet voice on the other end, "Madam, I have something I'd like to ask you. Is this a convenient time?"
Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. "Even though it's inconvenient, you still called."
"Secretary Park, just tell me what you need, and I'll tell you everything I know," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile.
"It's like this, I've never thought about having a baby before, but now it's very likely I'm pregnant. I'd like to ask you, Madam, what should I be careful about now? I heard that the president really likes daughters, so I was thinking that this baby might be a girl. The president already has two sons, so he'll definitely be happy to have a daughter."
Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow, "You really do have a comprehensive understanding."
She smiled and said, "Yes, when I was pregnant, Mo Qing kept saying he wanted to have a daughter, but he ended up having two sons. If Secretary Park could really have a daughter, I think he would be very happy." Her voice was still very gentle, but her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at Chi Mo Qing: Look what you've done.
