Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 528 Another purpose

He glanced at Jian Ning, then gave Lucy a meaningful look, and said slowly and deliberately, "Lucy, can you reply to the choice I just gave you tomorrow?"

Lucy froze, never expecting the fox to say it so directly in front of Jane.

"What choice?" Seeing Lucy's expression, Jian Ning pulled her behind her protectively and spoke sharply to the fox, "You dare threaten Lucy?"

The fox looked at him with a half-smile, its eyes filled with deep mockery.

Jian Ning was very unhappy and wanted to speak, but Lucy stopped her and said guiltily, "It's nothing, it's just work."

Jian Ning narrowed her eyes: "It's so late, are you talking about work here?"

“Yes,” Lucy replied, turning her face away. But it was clear that the fox had no intention of stopping there. Instead, he said casually, “A woman as outstanding as Lucy must have no shortage of suitors. Jian Ning, your family background is not suitable for her. I think it would be better for you to let go.”

"Shut up!" Jian Ning said impulsively, lunging forward and punching the fox.

The fox nimbly dodged, staring into Jian Ning's eyes, and said extremely slowly, "I'm thinking, you're a man with a wife and children, yet you're still not satisfied, actually wanting the blessing of having two wives. Jian Ning, when did you become so shameless?"

"You're asking for it!" Jian Ning seemed to have been hit where it hurt, her whole body flared up, and she lunged forward to beat him up again.

The fox calmly dodged away again, continuing its sarcastic remark: "Eating what's in the bowl while eyeing what's in the pot..."

"what!"

As Jane's fist landed, Lucy screamed and covered her eyes the next second.

Jian Ning's punches were powerful; this time, the fox neither dodged nor flinched, taking the full force of the blow. Although Jian Ning was just a guard, he had undergone special training; if it weren't for the fox's physique, he probably would have knocked the fox unconscious long ago.

Jian Ning was furious, but knowing the fox's skills, he didn't expect what would happen. However, when he saw the fox lying on the ground, blood gushing out, he was completely dumbfounded.

Why did he choose to take that punch when he could have dodged it?

The fox collapsed to the ground, his face covered in blood from his nose; one can imagine how much pain he was in. However, he simply wiped it away casually, then stood up, a faint smile on his face. "Jian Ning, I remember you told Ding Le that such an impulsive personality wasn't suitable for staying by your sister-in-law's side, lest it cause trouble for others. What do you think now?"

Jian Ning glared at him, especially when he met his smiling face, but he still felt a chilling dread. He had always known how powerful the fox was, but now that he was on the opposite side, he realized that the so-called power was simply not enough to describe him.

The two men stood their ground, their eyes locked in a tense standoff.

"Fox, are you alright? I'll take you to the hospital," Lucy said anxiously as she walked over.

The fox simply smiled. "I'm fine. I'll just apply some medicine when I get back. But you..." His gaze fixed on Jian Ning, "If I tell the commander about this, Jian Ning, what do you think your fate will be?"

These words, each one a gem, struck at Jian Ning's sore spot. He gritted his teeth, seething with rage. He never imagined this man, who usually seemed so harmless, could be so terrifying when he got serious.

"Stay away from Lucy from now on, she's my woman!"

The fox chuckled. "It's only temporary. The outcome is still uncertain. To be honest, if Lucy were with me, I definitely wouldn't have been so agitated just now, lest I frighten her."

Jian Ning paused, the scene of Lucy's scream flashing through her mind, and a slight panic ran through her heart.

"Now that we've finished talking, please go back." The fox said, giving them the order to leave. He turned and walked towards the apartment, but after taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "Lucy, remember never to go out alone with a man again, or who knows how many more men will suffer."

"Fox!" Jian Ning roared, wanting to say something more, but Lucy stopped her. "Jian Ning, that's enough. It's getting late, let's go back. You just made a move, and the fox didn't even call the police. You should stop now."

Although he had already used force, the fox's anger hadn't subsided. Seeing Lucy's reaction, which clearly showed she favored the fox, he felt even more resentful.

"I can walk by myself, you don't need to worry about me!" With that, he strode away.

As Lucy watched Jian Ning's departing figure, a dangerous glint flashed in her narrowed eyes: This man dared to treat her like this; she would make him regret it!

Through the window, Ding Le saw everything from inside the apartment. Her fists clenched tightly, her heart aching terribly. Just now, when Jian Ning made his move, she almost rushed out to shield Fox, even though he no longer liked her, and even though she understood why Fox was being beaten. But she just couldn't bear to see him get hurt.

She was worried about the fox's injuries; she had just seen him bleeding and he wasn't going to the hospital.

As they left the neighborhood where the fox spirit lived, Jian Ning suddenly stopped and turned back to Lucy, shouting, "From now on, you are not allowed to see that fox spirit again!"

Lucy was taken aback: "Jian Ning, can you be reasonable? Putting aside work, I still have the right to make friends, right? Is it fair that you make me cut off relationships with others just because you're unhappy?"

"Fairness?" Jian Ning shouted angrily, "Didn't you see how he just stirred things up? You're talking to me about fairness? Didn't I break off all ties with Ding Le for your sake?"

“Jian Ning.” Lucy took a breath and looked at him steadily. “I’m sorry about your falling out with Ding Le. But to be fair, I didn’t ask you to break up with her. I even hoped you would reconcile. As for Fox, you can stay away from him if you don’t like him, but you have no right to ask me to do so, and there’s no need for you to be so angry.”

“I have no right to this. Am I just being presumptuous?” Jian Ning narrowed her eyes.

“That’s not what I meant,” Lucy explained. “I was just trying to find a good balance between us. Okay, if you really don’t like him, I’ll be more careful in the future, except for work-related interactions. Besides, you were the one who just hit him, so what are you still angry about?”

Jian Ning stared intently at Lucy, like a beast about to go berserk. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Then tell me, what exactly did you come out to see him so late?"

"I said it's all business," Lucy said firmly, instinctively taking two steps back.

Jian Ning noticed his actions and became even angrier. "Lucy, you like him!"

Not a question, but an affirmation.

Lucy's heart skipped a beat, then she looked at him incredulously, "Jian Ning, what are you saying? You're my boyfriend, how can you say that?"

"If you considered me your boyfriend, you wouldn't be out seeing other men late at night!"

Lucy stared in disbelief: "You mean, if we're dating, I can't have contact with other men? I'll say it again, we're just friends. You're overthinking it. You always make this demand of me, but have you ever thought about how I'm supposed to just wait for you all day when you're nowhere to be seen, and not even be allowed to chat with a friend?"

"Chatting with friends is fine, but not this late, and it can't be him!"

Lucy frowned: "Incomprehensible!"

Seeing Lucy about to leave, Jian Ning grabbed her arm and said through gritted teeth, "Whether you agree or not, you can't see that vixen again from now on! Not even as friends!"

Their eyes met, and neither of them felt comfortable. Lucy abruptly shook off his arm. "I don't think I did anything wrong about tonight's events. If you insist on holding a grudge, I can apologize. But Jian Ning, even in a relationship, I have the right to make friends. I'm giving you space, so please respect my rights."

Jian Ning opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he saw Lucy get into her car and drive away. He stared at the disappearing figure, slammed his fist against the wall, and drove off.

Lucy hadn't gone far; she quickly returned, and seeing Jian Ning leave, a wicked smile crept onto her lips. Chi Moqing's left and right arms were now completely at odds; the real show was about to begin.

As long as the article about Yu Fangfei hadn't been published, Yan Zuozuo was restless. She barely slept a wink all night and woke up quickly the next day. Strangely, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Chi Moqing, who rarely used the computer, sitting in front of it, looking very serious. Her heart skipped a beat; could something have happened again?

Hearing a sound behind him, Chi Moqing turned off the computer, got up and went back to bed, reaching out to stroke her long hair. "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I'm not sleepy anymore, honey. Why are you on the computer so early? Is something wrong?"

"No, that's not true. Go wash up, I'll make breakfast, okay?" he said, handing her a coat.

Yan Zuozuo nodded, put on her coat, and headed to the bathroom.

When she finished organizing and came out, Chi Moqing hadn't finished cooking yet. She went online to receive the files and saw that Song Yutong and Tong Shili had already sent them to her. It seemed they hadn't slept well last night, receiving the files in the early hours of the morning. She carefully compared them and found no errors, so she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wife, come out for dinner." Chi Moqing called her from downstairs, his deep and sexy voice filled with doting affection. Yan Zuozuo felt a sweet warmth in her heart and ran downstairs.

Chi Moqing watched nervously and quickly spoke up to stop him: "Be careful, you're running around again!"

"Oh." Yan Zuozuo paused, walked slowly to the chair, and sat down. "Is this alright?"

Honestly, even if she were to slip or fall, her husband would definitely catch her just before she hits the ground.

She had already secretly tried it several times; her husband was quite capable. Although she was secretly pleased, seeing Chi Moqing's terrified expression still made her feel guilty. So now she was extra careful when walking.

Looking at the table full of all kinds of beautiful pastries, Yan Zuozuo was dumbfounded. How did Chi Moqing manage to do that in just one morning?

In fact, not only breakfast, but also lunch and dinner, Chi Moqing would prepare several kinds, even if she only wanted to try a little of each, because he was worried that she wouldn't eat properly.

However, not wanting to disappoint her husband's good intentions, she accepted everything without question, eating only about six or seven tenths of the meal and leaving the rest to Chi Moqing. Chi Moqing never saw anything wrong with it; his only worry was that she wasn't eating enough or well.

She felt a sweet warmth in her heart, especially recently, when Chi Moqing bought a whole bunch of books to read. Several times, she woke up in the middle of the night to find her husband studying diligently, and his charming appearance made her heart flutter.
