Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 493 Conspiracy (3)

Tong Shili went to meet Bai Ningxuan with mixed feelings. Although Yan Zuozuo had already greeted him, she still felt a little strange.

She had been dissatisfied with Yan Zuozuo's actions before, always feeling that she was being ostracized. But this time, she entrusted such an important contract to her. Wasn't she worried about what she might do, or did Yan Zuozuo actually have ulterior motives?

Of course, she thought the latter possibility was very small.

She entered the headquarters of the Bourbon family's branch office in China, still with her usual indifferent expression. The receptionist, however, was very enthusiastic and led her inside.

The moment Tong Shili pushed open the office door, she felt an aura of nobility wash over her. Bai Ningxuan sat behind the desk, elegant and handsome, blending perfectly into the office, a sight to behold.

"Sit down, wait a moment." Bai Ningxuan looked up and smiled at her before continuing to handle official business.

Tong Shili nodded, watching him work intently, a strange feeling rising in her heart. This man exuded nobility in every gesture; despite his high position, he was not cold, but rather possessed a gentler side than most people.

Such a young, promising, and approachable man seemed to have made a profound impact on her. She remembered dreaming of being a princess when she was very young, and this was the kind of man she dreamed of. However, too many things happened later, and her early dream was shattered long ago.

After finishing his official business, Bai Ningxuan looked at Tong Shili, who was staring blankly at him, and smiled slightly. "Don't you like the coffee here? Would you like something to drink?"

Tong Shili shook her head: "No, I was just thinking about something."

Bai Ningxuan picked up his coffee, which had cooled down a bit, and took a sip: "Although my relationship with your company is a business collaboration, and Ms. Tong is also a business partner, I still hope you can treat me as a friend and not be so formal and reserved."

His words surprised Tong Shili somewhat, and her previous seriousness lessened a bit. "Mr. Bai, this cooperation project was originally supposed to be handled by the director and Director Song, but Director Song was in a car accident, and the director was busy rushing over to check on the situation, so it was handed over to me. I'm not as good at negotiations as the two directors, so I won't beat around the bush and will just say what I mean. If I say something wrong or you don't accept it, I hope you can tell me directly."

Bai Ningxuan's lips curled up slightly: "Shili, does it feel easier for me to call you that? Don't be so reserved, relax a little, okay?"

If it were anyone else saying that, Tong Shili would have already started negotiations in a businesslike manner. But facing Bai Ningxuan, she actually tried to relax, just like when meeting a friend.

She took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, and pushed the documents in her hand in front of Bai Ningxuan. "Mr. Bai, may we begin now?"

“If Miss Tong is not busy, there is no need to rush. I don’t have anything important to do today.”

Tong Shili paused, then met Bai Ningxuan's gentle gaze, and her previous hesitation and unease seemed to vanish instantly. She took another sip of coffee. "Mr. Bai, I'm ready. Let's begin."

Bai Ningxuan nodded, his eyes smiling.

Yan Zuozuo went to the hospital shortly after Tong Shili left. Because she was anxious, she took out her phone and called Song Yutong first. However, Song Yutong did not answer the phone, but another phone rang instead.

It was an unfamiliar number. Yan Zuozuo frowned. "Hello, this is Yan Zuozuo."

"Miss Yan, hello. Do you remember me? I'm Youyou."

Her voice was as gentle as ever, which made Yan Zuozuo's heart tighten. After a pause, she said, "I'm sorry, I generally don't save the phone numbers of unimportant people."

These words were undoubtedly telling Youyou that He Cangyuan was no longer an important person to her, and she didn't want to care about him at all.

“Miss Yan, are you still unwilling to forgive Mr. He? After all, blood is thicker than water, and he has already been punished for his mistakes.”

“Miss Youyou, listen carefully. I don’t care whether I forgive him or not, because he has nothing to do with me anymore. He lives his life, and I live mine. Please don’t call me anymore. What you do with him is your business and has nothing to do with me.”

The hospital was just ahead, and Yan Zuozuo felt an urge to hang up the phone. Her current concern was for Song Yutong and the others' safety; He Cangyuan was none of her concern.

“Miss Yan, I know you dislike me. But I need your help with something. Mr. He found out about my phone call to you last time, and he's very angry. I haven't seen him for several days. Miss Yan, I really like Mr. He. Can you tell me what to do?”

Yan Zuozuo frowned. To her, He Cangyuan was less than a stranger; she never wanted to have anything to do with him again. As for his relationship with this strange woman, she had even less interest in getting involved. Youyou's voice only annoyed her.

"If you like him, go after him. It has nothing to do with me. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Miss Yan, please, please help me, I really... Hey, Miss Yan..."

Yan Zuozuo immediately hung up the call, parked the car, and headed towards the hospital. Just then, her phone rang again. Her intuition told her it was Youyou again. She frowned and said, "Miss Youyou, your relationship with He Cangyuan is your business. I can't help you. Please don't call me again. That's all, goodbye!"

"Wait, don't hang up, it's me." Just as Yan Zuozuo was about to hang up, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Shang Xiaoguo?

Yan Zuozuo blinked. This girl had been resting at home since she got pregnant, and she hadn't seen her for a long time. Why was she calling now?

"Guoguo, what's wrong?" she asked.

Shang Xiaoguo bit her lip: "Sister Yan, how have you been getting along with General Chi lately?"

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow. Why does she ask this as soon as she calls?

Confused, she said, "We're fine, why do you ask that?"

"Ah, maybe I'm just imagining things." Shang Xiaoguo scratched her head in distress. "I think I just saw something strange."

"What strange scene?"

"So, it's Ikegami Sho and a woman... at the hospital, that seems rather unusual..."

With a woman?

"Maybe it's a colleague or something else, little girl, why do you overthink things?" Yan Zuozuo said with a smile, continuing to walk into the hospital.

"No, let me tell you, Sister Yan, that woman is very beautiful, she's obviously a vixen. And General Chi seems to care about her a lot, they were very close." She saw Chi Moqing showing concern for that woman when she passed by the ward just now. Yan Zuozuo is family she cares about very much, she doesn't want her to be deceived.

Yan Zuozuo was stunned, frozen in place, pressed against the beautiful woman.

She frowned. Chi Moqing had always hated women getting close to him. He almost never drove other women besides her. How could she be so close to other women?

She tried to convince herself that it was just the little girl's overthinking. Chi Moqing had been so good to her; he couldn't possibly betray her. However, the image of seeing Lucy's phone in Chi Moqing's pocket flashed through her mind again.

My heart pounded, and my mind went completely blank.

"What woman? Do you know her?" she asked, trying to make her voice sound calm.

"I don't know them, but Director Song does. They were at the hospital together. Sister Yan, maybe I'm overthinking it. I was just worried about you getting hurt. Chi Shangjiang shouldn't be that kind of person." Perhaps she was mistaken, and Shang Xiaoguo didn't know what to say.

Yan Zuozuo remained silent. Shang Xiaoguo had always treated her like an older sister; she wouldn't have said anything unless she had actually seen it. So, Chi Moqing really was very intimate with that woman?

Besides Lucy, no one else appeared at the hospital with Song Yutong. Lucy was in a car accident, so why was Chi Moqing there so quickly? Could it be…?

"Guoguo, where are you now?"

"I'm here..." Shang Xiaoguo was about to speak when it seemed something had happened over there, and there was a commotion. "Sister Yan, I have something to do, I have to go now, bye."

Yan Zuozuo stared at the dial tone coming from the receiver, frozen in place. She should have trusted Chi Moqing; he doted on her so much, how could he possibly betray her?

To be honest, she had long disbelieved in men's fidelity, believing that infidelity was a mistake almost every man in the world would or would want to make. However, Chi Moqing's appearance changed her mind, making her believe that there are still faithful men in the world.

They were a couple who spent every day together; if he really had cheated, she couldn't possibly not have noticed. But Chi Moqing hadn't acted strangely lately, and didn't seem to have made any mistakes at all.

Yes, she should trust her husband. It would be wrong of her to doubt him based on only one side of the story.

However, thinking about the note and Shang Xiaoguo's sudden phone call, she was still quite uneasy. What should she do if what Shang Xiaoguo said was true, if Chi Moqing really had something going on with Lucy?

She subconsciously touched her stomach. If Chi Moqing were to leave her, she really couldn't imagine how she would live her life afterward. Relying on him seemed to have become a habit.

She walked forward unconsciously and inadvertently saw Lucy, who had just had surgery, through the glass of the ward. Song Yutong only had minor scratches and seemed to be fine.

Pushing open the door to the ward, she went over to check on Lucy and Song Yutong, trying hard to suppress the unease in her heart.

Song Yutong briefly explained what happened: "Lucy wasn't paying attention while driving and ended up crashing. But her injuries aren't serious," she said, adding that the director shouldn't worry.

"That's good. Take a rest for a while." Yan Zuozuo nodded. "By the way, you had a car accident. What did the other party mean by it?"

"other side……"

“The other party is very nice and didn’t hold us responsible.” Lucy interrupted Song Yutong, saying somewhat shyly, “That person has quite a background and is very concerned about us, afraid that things would get out of hand and harm us. Director, don’t worry, it won’t have a negative impact on the company.”

Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lucy hit Chi Moqing with her car, and Chi Moqing was still protecting her?

She pursed her lips, her mind in turmoil.

She knew Chi Moqing's personality very well; he didn't know how to cherish or treat other women, except for her. Yet now, he was actually protecting Lucy.

Seeing that Yan Zuozuo remained silent, Lucy smiled gently, "Director, don't worry, since they've been so protective of us, they definitely won't make things difficult for us. But it was my fault after all, and I'll apologize to them."

Yan Zuozuo's heart tightened: "Really? You're so nice to me, I really want to get to know you."

Lucy's eyes flickered: "There will be opportunities, but I can't go to work recently, Director. I'm sorry about work, I'm afraid I'll have to take a break for a while."

"Your health is the most important thing." Yan Zuozuo subconsciously looked out the glass.
