Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 207 A Tricky Problem (1)

After dinner, Yan Zuozuo went to wash the dishes, but Chi Moqing beat her to it and took them to the kitchen. He smiled at her and said indulgently, "I'll do it."

Yan Zuozuo watched his tall figure bustling about by the sink, and felt a surge of emotion. She hugged him from behind, pressing her face against his back, without saying a word.

Chi Moqing smiled and wanted to hug her, but his hands were covered in grease from washing dishes, so he turned around and rubbed his face against her head. "Wife, go and rest for a while. I'll come and keep you company when I'm done with my work."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I like being with you like this."

With tenderness in his eyes, Chi Moqing quickly finished washing the dishes. As soon as he finished cleaning the kitchen, he picked up Yan Zuozuo and carried her to the bedroom. "Wife, I have felt your affection. Now it is time for me to reciprocate."

Yan Zuozuo just wanted to hug him and enjoy a moment of warmth. What were her intentions?

She looked at Chi Moqing, puzzled, only to see him place her on the bed and quickly get up to run a bath. Suddenly, her face flushed red. Was President Chi planning a romantic bath together?

With that thought in mind, she turned and ran outside. Last night, President Chi's powerful physique had left her with a sore back and aching waist; she absolutely couldn't let him bully her again today.

However, no matter how thoroughly Yan Zuozuo hid, Chi Moqing still found her. He chuckled and teased, "Wife, do you want to come out by yourself, or should I bail you out? If you come out by yourself, it might only take an hour. But if your husband bails you out, well, it might take all night."

Yan Zuozuo's face turned completely red, and she cursed Chi Moqing in her heart: Despicable villain, shameless!

But thinking about the issue of "the whole night," she shamelessly poked her head out, pouting, and asked, "Really, just one hour is fine?"

Chi Moqing smiled: "It depends on your performance."

Before Yan Zuozuo could even step forward, Chi Moqing reached out and pulled her into his arms. She gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, meeting his mischievous gaze. "This counts as me getting you out of trouble, wife."

Yan Zuozuo glared, indignant. "You scoundrel!"

It's easy to imagine how happy Chi Moqing was to "punish" Yan Zuozuo for being naughty. As a result, Yan Zuozuo was thoroughly "eaten" all night and didn't even remember how she fell asleep.

The next morning, she was woken up by a phone call, and Chi Moqing was nowhere to be seen beside her. She was startled; oh no, had she overslept?

She quickly checked the time; it was 7:10 AM. She breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the phone. "Good morning, Director."

Fisher called before she even started work. Was something important? But the moment she opened her mouth, she almost wanted to bang her head against the wall. Her hoarse voice clearly told everyone what she had done last night.

Ugh, this is so embarrassing.

"Good morning." Fisher smiled brightly. "Sorry to wake you up so early. Can you come to the company now? I have something I need to discuss with you."

"Okay, right away." Yan Zuozuo cleared her throat and quickly got up. However, as soon as she sat up, she felt sore and achy all over, as if her body had been disassembled and reassembled.

That damned Chi Moqing! He's not allowed to sleep with me for a week! He's so wicked and despicable, he's practically a beast!

She silently cursed Chi Moqing to the core before getting out of bed to wash up. Breakfast was already on the table, and she quickly finished it before rushing to the company.

The villa was already close to the company, and with her jogging all the way, it only took her five or six minutes. When she knocked on Fisher's office door, she saw Meng Xinyu inside. She was taken aback; what was going on?

"Zuo Zuo, come in." Fisher smiled.

Yan Zuozuo went inside and sat down next to Meng Xinyu. Fisher handed her the documents in his hand, "Someone has specifically requested that you make custom clothing for her."

Yan Zuozuo blinked, thinking it was another trick by Young Master Ou. But when she glanced down at the documents in her hand, she suddenly froze. "Sophie? Isn't she abroad?"

Fisher raised an eyebrow at her: "You came back a couple of days ago. I received the call this morning. She specifically asked for you."

Yan Zuozuo had a feeling that things weren't so simple. She pursed her lips and asked, "When?"

"She will let you know the specific time later."

Yan Zuozuo frowned, her expression somewhat grave. Fisher looked at her and asked, "Is there something troubling you?"

Yan Zuozuo didn't hide anything and honestly asked, "Does the director know about my conflict with Sophie?"

Fisher met Sophie once when she first arrived, and Sophie had framed her back then, so she thought Fisher must know about it.

Sure enough, Fisher nodded and said, "I know a little about it, so I didn't agree immediately when she called me. But she seemed determined to have you design for her. Before you arrived, she even called to ask if I had replied."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips. She was certain that Sophie's return to see her this time was definitely not just about the clothing design; there must be another purpose.

"Zuo Zuo, you can refuse."

Yan Zuozuo remained silent for a long while before saying, "No, I agree."

Fisher looked at her and said seriously, "Even if you don't agree, I have ways to refuse her."

"This is my job. If I refuse, there will definitely be people who are not satisfied. If everyone follows suit, I'm afraid the director's job will become very difficult in the future."

Besides, she knew even better that if she refused Sophie this time, Sophie would definitely find another excuse to see her. This time it was aboveboard; if she refused, Sophie might try something underhanded. She might as well just agree. No matter what trap Sophie was setting for her this time, she was going.

Fisher thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll call Sophie later. We'll discuss the specific timing later."

Yan Zuozuo nodded and was about to leave when her phone rang. It was Su Kang calling, saying that Fu Zixin hadn't been home for two days and hadn't taken the child with her, and he was worried something had happened to her.

Yan Zuozuo was startled, her expression changing drastically. She knew very well how much Fu Zixin cared about the baby; if something hadn't happened, she certainly wouldn't have left the baby at home for two days. She paused and asked, "Did you two have a fight?"

Su Kang shook his head: "No, I was fine when I went on a business trip the day before yesterday. When I came back, the nanny said she hadn't been home for two days and I couldn't get through to her on the phone."

Yan Zuozuo's expression grew increasingly serious: "I'll try to find her again. You keep looking too. Let's stay in touch." After hanging up, Yan Zuozuo looked at Fisher, "Director, can I take the day off today?" She seemed very anxious.

Fisher glanced at her: "What happened?"

“My friend has gone missing, and it’s very likely that something happened to her. I want to go find her now.”

Meng Xinyu, who had been silent until now, suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Taking leave for personal matters isn't a good idea, is it? What do you think, Director?"

Yan Zuozuo glared at her: "If it's not for personal reasons, can it be called taking leave for work-related matters?"

Meng Xinyu paused, then looked at Yan Zuozuo with displeasure, "What I mean is, didn't the team leader just take leave a couple of days ago?"

"I haven't used up my vacation days yet, and it's my freedom to ask for leave whenever I want," Yan Zuozuo retorted bluntly. She was already very anxious about Fu Zixin's disappearance, and was Meng Xinyu deliberately trying to upset her?

Meng Xinyu clenched her fist, her smile filled with resentment. "That's for sure."

Yan Zuozuo ignored her and turned to Fisher, "Director, is that alright?"

Fisher hesitated for a while before saying, "Okay, but you also need to get the design drawings from Young Master Ou as soon as possible."

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "I understand, then I'll go first."

As soon as Yan Zuozuo left the office, she quickly called Fu Zixin, but her phone was switched off. Oh no, could something really serious have happened this time?

Her mind was filled with all sorts of unsettling images, and she was extremely anxious. Even Su Kang couldn't contact her now, and the child was at home; where could she go alone?

Suddenly, she remembered what Fisher had just said: Sophie had returned a few days ago. Could it be that she had done something to her?

She was taken aback and quickly called Su Kang, "Do you know that Su Fei is back?"

Su Kang remained silent for a moment before saying, "I know. I will find her as soon as possible and send her abroad."

“The issue now isn’t sending her abroad; I suspect Zixin’s disappearance is related to her.”

Su Kang was stunned. It wasn't that he hadn't considered this possibility, but rather that he was unwilling to admit it. No matter what, Su Fei was his own sister, and he didn't want to think of her as the worst person. But if it were true…

He clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll contact Sophie right now. I'll call you if I hear anything."

Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips: "Zixin has already suffered too much because of Su Fei. She is your sister, that's true, but Zixin is also your wife and the mother of your child. I hope you can think clearly about what to do."

After saying that, she hung up. Now that she couldn't contact Fu Zixin, she couldn't find her on her own. It seemed she would have to trouble President Chi.

As soon as Yan Zuozuo left the office, Meng Xinyu quickly said, "Director, you saw it too. The team leader is currently overwhelmed with both work and personal matters and has no time to design clothes for Young Master Ou. Why don't you hand this matter over to me?"

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Fisher looked at her with a half-smile. "The clothes are on Young Master Ou, and they represent the face of our company. I don't think Miss Meng has that kind of power."

Meng Xinyu retorted, "I graduated from the Paris Academy of Fine Arts and believe I am more talented than Yan Zuozuo. It's unfair that the director rejected me without giving me a chance to showcase my abilities!"

After hearing her finish speaking, Fisher raised an eyebrow. "Then tell me, Miss Meng, what is fairness? Young Master Ou specifically requested Zuo Zuo to design clothes for him, and Zuo Zuo is your boss. I bypassed her, disregarded the client's wishes, and forced this design on you. Is that fair?"

Meng Xinyu was stunned, feeling extremely jealous. Why did Young Master Ou treat Yan Zuozuo differently? She was just an old woman who was married and had children. What was there about her that made men so infatuated with her?

She bit her lip and after a while said, "How about the director introduces me to Young Master Ou? I'm confident I can persuade him to design his clothes by me. I think my work is more tasteful than the team leader's."

“Miss Meng, don’t you have Mr. Ou’s contact information? I don’t object to you contacting each other privately, but as the director, I have to treat every employee in the company fairly. This case belongs to Zuo Zuo, so naturally I can’t recommend it to you again.” Fisher took a sip of coffee and smiled. “In addition, I can give Miss Meng a reminder: Mr. Ou dislikes women who think they are clever the most.”

Meng Xinyu blushed at Fisher's subtle sarcasm. She clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Director. I'll head out now."

Fisher nodded, watching Meng Xinyu's departing figure, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically: There's nothing wrong with a woman being confident, but being overconfident isn't so endearing.
