Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 153 Secret Contest

Chi Moqing drove, barely speaking the entire way, while Fisher kept talking. Yan Zuozuo occasionally responded with a few words, but felt somewhat uneasy. She really wanted to know how Chi Moqing viewed what Su Fei had just said, but since he remained silent, she didn't know how to start the conversation.

Although Chi Moqing has never been one to be easily swayed, she must have felt somewhat uncomfortable being caught shopping with another man during work hours.

"What would you like to eat?" After a long while, Chi Moqing finally spoke.

"Uh?" Yan Zuozuo was momentarily stunned before saying, "Fischer is a guest, let's ask him."

guest?

This form of address somewhat balanced out Chi Moqing's slight dissatisfaction. He glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "It's rare for Mr. Fisher to come all this way. What would you like to eat?"

Fisher smiled enigmatically: "I'm not interested in the food, but I am quite interested in how timely President Chi's appearance was."

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow: "Someone called me to confess, and I happened to be passing by, so I got out of the car to say hello to my wife."

So it was that kid Lu Yaoyuan who betrayed him?

Fisher's fingers were already cracking; his little apprentice needed a good beating!

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. President Chi, please decide," Fisher said with a smile.

"Alright then." Chi Moqing turned his head to look at Yan Zuozuo, his gentle eyes filled with tenderness. "You said last time that you wanted to eat Sichuan food, but I haven't had time to accompany you. Let's go eat Sichuan food."

Yan Zuozuo was surprised that he still remembered so many things that had happened recently, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Upon hearing the words "Sichuan cuisine," Fisher's eyes lit up. "You mean the kind of food that's incredibly spicy?"

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, then remembered Fisher and quickly said, "Fisher, can you eat spicy food? If not, let's go somewhere else."

“No, no, no, I love spicy food. The spiciest I’ve ever had is the British Naga Viper pepper. That spiciness is absolutely amazing!” Fisher said excitedly. “My sweetheart, we’re really destined to be together. Even our tastes are so similar.”

Yan Zuozuo stiffened and stole a glance at Chi Moqing.

On the surface, Chi Moqing remained calm, but inside, the words "sweetheart" were causing a turmoil. He raised an eyebrow and glanced at Fisher in the rearview mirror. This man's provocation was so strong on their first meeting—what was his purpose?

"This is my first time in China, and I really hit it off with Little Sweetheart. I'd like her to be my tour guide. I don't think President Chi would have any objections, would he?" Fisher's words sounded harmless, but his provocation was becoming increasingly obvious.

"Of course I have objections. If possible, I would love to be with my wife 24/7. Now that Mr. Fisher wants to monopolize my wife's time, how could I not have objections?" Chi Moqing spoke frankly, which did not make him seem petty. On the contrary, it gave people the feeling that he loved his wife very much.

He glanced at Yan Zuozuo, who gave him a playful glare, but her shyness was unmistakable. Their hands were clasped tightly together, a picture of deep affection, which made Fisher's gaze darken.

"President Chi and Sweetheart have such a great relationship, it's truly enviable," Fisher chuckled. "President Chi wouldn't be so eager to come and take Sweetheart away as soon as he heard we were together, would he? Are you that worried?"

Chi Moqing smiled and squeezed Yan Zuozuo's hand, saying, "Of course I'm worried. Zuozuo is my wife. If I'm not worried, would I let an outsider worry about me? Wouldn't that be a failure?"

Chi Moqing spoke casually, clearly indicating that he and Yan Zuozuo were family, and all other outsiders were sidelined.

Yan Zuozuo noticed the clash between the two and couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat from her brow.

Faced with such a direct answer, Fisher didn't get angry but laughed instead, "I really like President Chi's genuine personality. I must have a couple more drinks later."

“Of course. If Mr. Fisher could change how he addresses my wife, I believe I would be more willing to have a couple more drinks with you,” Chi Moqing said with a half-smile.

Fisher laughed heartily and said to Yan Zuozuo, "Sweetheart... oh no, Zuozuo, your husband is so adorable."

Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. If you weren't so outspoken, you'd be quite adorable.

Upon arriving at the hotel, as soon as they got out of the car, Chi Moqing grasped Yan Zuozuo's hand, and the next second she leaned against his strong, broad chest.

Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but blush and looked up at him. Chi Moqing, however, remained expressionless and put his arm around her waist as they walked inside.

Yan Zuozuo wondered, was this a sign of jealousy?

Inside the private room, the table was filled with dishes that Yan Zuozuo liked, all of which were very spicy.

Fisher, tempted by the red color, couldn't resist eating and said between bites, "Then I won't be polite."

Seeing that Fisher looked like he hadn't eaten in a long time, Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but be surprised, "Is it still palatable?"

"It would be even better if it were spicier. I could recommend the kind of chili I just mentioned to their chef. It would be absolutely amazing." Fisher said happily as he ate, spitting out his tongue, while Yan Zuozuo looked on with a conflicted expression.

Chi Moqing placed some food on her plate and said gently, "Didn't you want spicy food? Eat up."

Yan Zuozuo nodded and started eating. Chi Moqing didn't like spicy food, so apart from occasionally taking a few bites, he mostly served her food.

"You should eat too, or your stomach will hurt again." Mentioning his stomach ailment, she suddenly paused, realizing how careless she had been, knowing he had a stomach problem yet still coming to eat spicy food. A pang of guilt flashed in her eyes. She ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him. "Eat less, I'll cook for you when we get home tonight."

Chi Moqing nodded and kissed her forehead. Yan Zuozuo glared at him playfully and muttered, "There are other people around."

Chi Moqing smiled but remained silent, glancing at Fisher almost imperceptibly.

Fisher, observing the interaction between the two, seemed to find the food less appetizing. He raised his glass to drink with Chi Moqing, saying, "Zuo Zuo is a good girl. You're lucky to have married her. You should cherish her, or plenty of others will be vying for her."

Chi Moqing smiled faintly: "The person who stole it shouldn't be Mr. Fisher, right?"

“That’s hard to say.” Fisher glanced at Yan Zuozuo, took a leisurely sip, and suddenly said, “My contract with the US has expired, and I’m planning to look for another place. I don’t know if President Chi would welcome me.”

Yan Zuozuo paused in her eating, looking at Fisher in surprise, "You want to join Fan Hua Design?"

Fisher smiled and said, "It's just a matter of President Chi giving his approval."

Yan Zuozuo was clearly very happy, but she restrained herself considerably, turning her head to look at Chi Moqing as if waiting for an answer.

Chi Moqing looked at Yan Zuozuo, then at Fisher. He had always known how much Yan Zuozuo liked Lu Yaoyuan's design style. Although Fisher's attitude toward Yan Zuozuo was intriguing, after a moment of contemplation, he nodded and said, "It is an honor for our entire Chi family to invite Mr. Fisher. If Mr. Fisher is really interested, why don't we come to the company this afternoon to discuss it?"

“It’s settled then!” Fisher raised his glass heartily. “Wishing us a pleasant collaboration.”

Yan Zuozuo also picked up her cup, clearly looking forward to it.

After downing a glass of wine, Fisher looked at Yan Zuozuo with shining eyes, "Now you can be my assistant, right?"

How come he hasn't forgotten about this?

Yan Zuozuo glanced at Chi Moqing, as if asking for her opinion.

Chi Moqing smiled and said, "You decide for yourself."

"Then... I'll have to ask for your guidance from now on, Master." Being Master Fisher's assistant is something many designers would kill for, so she was naturally very happy. But then she thought again, and a pang of unease struck her. "Should I call Lu Yaoyuan 'Senior Brother' from now on?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Moqing's expression became even more peculiar. Wouldn't that mean he would have to follow Senior Brother Yao Luyuan from now on?

Tsk, he'd better not bring this up with him!

After dinner, Chi Moqing took Fisher back to his hotel to rest. When they got out of the car, Fisher waved to them, whether intentionally or not, and said loudly to Yan Zuozuo, "If President Chi dares to bully you, come to Master. Master will definitely stand up for you."

Chi Moqing's eyes sharpened, as if something was amiss.

"Thank you, Master. Mo Qing is very kind to me," Yan Zuozuo said through the car window, her face flushed.

Fisher glanced at Chi Moqing: "Zuo Zuo, don't hide it from your master. If President Chi bullies you, I'll take you away and make him furious!"

Chi Moqing's eyes narrowed, not yet understanding Fisher's feelings towards Yan Zuozuo.

Yan Zuozuo felt even more embarrassed: "No, Mo Qing is really good to me. Then we won't bother you anymore, you should get some rest."

"Tsk, is this how you defend your husband?" Fisher laughed heartily, watching them leave. He stood there, pursing his lips, his deep blue eyes flashing with an unreadable emotion.

In the car, Chi Moqing seemed lost in thought and remained silent. Yan Zuozuo was a little nervous, genuinely worried that Fisher's careless remarks had upset him. After a long while, she tentatively asked, "Are you unhappy that I agreed to be Fisher's assistant? Should I turn him down..."

Chi Moqing glanced at her, reached out and ruffled her hair, saying affectionately, "How could that be? As long as you're happy."

"Really?" Yan Zuozuo asked repeatedly, still somewhat unsure.

"Of course." Chi Moqing smiled, his eyes full of tenderness. "If I didn't even have this much confidence, how could I be your husband?"

Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled softly, "President Chi, you really think too highly of me."

"This is just the truth." In his eyes, there is no woman more charming than his wife.

Yan Zuozuo blushed slightly, looked away, and muttered softly, "Sweet talk." But she was secretly delighted. What woman doesn't want to be praised by her husband? She was no exception.

When they arrived at the company, Chi Moqing put her down, patted her head, and said, "I'll come pick you up tonight so we can go to the compound together. Don't you dare run off by yourself!"

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said okay, then waved and went inside. As soon as she entered the company, she saw Lu Yaoyuan's secretary come over and say that Lu Yaoyuan invited her in.

Yan Zuozuo thought to himself that he must know that Mr. Fisher wanted to stay, and he must be very excited.

However, Yan Zuozuo was completely wrong. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Lu Yaoyuan kneeling down in front of her with a thud, hugging her legs and crying bitterly.

Yan Zuozuo's face was full of black lines. What kind of show is this now?
