Chapter 518 Lucy's True Identity
Chapter 518 Lucy's True Identity
"If you have nothing else to do, I'll head back now." Holding her coffee, Tong Shili was about to leave; it's best to keep your distance from this kind of person.
“Deputy Director Tong.” Just as she was about to leave the break room, Lucy suddenly spoke up, “You and Yutong are colleagues, but there is still a superior-subordinate relationship. Since you’re in a company, you have to abide by the rules and regulations. As the deputy director, I’m sure Director Yan wouldn’t like it if you went up against the women’s clothing department director. Or you could resign and elope with the man you love, and then you wouldn’t have to put up with this.”
"Lucy!" Tong Shili turned around, glaring at her. "Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. If you can't keep public and private matters separate, then I'm definitely not the one who should leave. You'd better watch yourself!" After saying that, she left.
Lucy's eyes dimmed. She took a sip of coffee and shook her head regretfully. "A runaway horse, ruined."
In the office, Yan Zuozuo was looking at Lucy's proposal with a headache. If Song Yutong and Tong Shili both approved of the proposal, she would be in a difficult position.
She had just put aside her past grievances with the Chu family, and now she was going to provoke Madam Chu again; it was really not a wise move.
She sighed, and just then her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID—it was her beloved husband. Without hesitation, she answered, a blissful smile on her face. "Honey, were you missing me?"
"I think about it every day, every second." Chi Moqing laughed heartily, making Yan Zuozuo feel sweet inside. She playfully scolded, "When did General Chi become so sweet-talking?"
"Wife..." Chi Moqing suddenly called out gently, and Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, her voice softening involuntarily, "Hmm?"
"Do you miss your husband too?"
"Ahem!" Yan Zuozuo felt a wave of nausea. General Chi Shang must have been watching too many Korean dramas lately, as he was becoming increasingly saccharine. "Of course I want to, but, dear General, what brings you here on this call?"
"Wife, your change of topic is hurting my feelings."
Yan Zuozuo blushed. Everyone says that men become more mature as they get older, but why does it feel like her husband is becoming more and more affectionate? He always talks to her in this tone, and she can hardly handle it.
However, she really missed her husband, thinking about him every single moment. Especially in her free time, her mind was filled with him—his handsomeness, his thoughtfulness, his gentleness, and... his mischievousness.
Seeing his wife blush and remain silent, Chi Moqing chuckled softly and said, "Wife, you hurt your husband's fragile heart today. I'll punish you severely when we get home."
"Ahhh, I miss him, I miss him so much! I miss him so much!" Yan Zuozuo couldn't wait to express that her husband's 'severe punishment' was too terrifying, too horrible. Although she also enjoyed it, she couldn't take it anymore after experiencing 'life and death' so many times.
"Good girl." Chi Moqing nodded in satisfaction. "Is anyone with you now?"
Yan Zuozuo's face turned bright red. Oh my god, did Chi Shang want to be all lovey-dovey with her over the phone? It's too hot, I can't accept it!
Her heart was pounding, but she still shyly admitted, "No, there's hardly anyone here."
"I'd like to hear your thoughts on the conflict between Lucy and Ding Le."
Huh? Why did the scene suddenly become serious? Yan Zuozuo breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed.
“My opinion…” Yan Zuozuo thought for a moment, “To be honest, I don’t think Ding Le is the kind of person who would act impulsively. There must be something wrong here.”
"Does my wife suspect Lucy of doing something wrong?"
Yan Zuozuo paused and said, "I can't be sure. After all, Ding Le has always been very righteous, and she was also very angry about Jian Ning's recent behavior of abandoning his wife. If Ding Le has opinions about this matter, it's not impossible that he clashed with Lucy. However, one thing I'm sure of is that Lucy definitely provoked Ding Le."
"Hmm." Chi Moqing paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you busy right now?"
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I'm not busy, but I'm facing a problem right now, and it's giving me a headache."
"Why don't we go out for some tea?"
"Huh?" Yan Zuozuo blinked. "Isn't that a bad idea? Everyone's busy. Wouldn't it be too unfair for me to go out? But I really do want to go out for a walk. I need to sort out my thoughts."
Chi Moqing smiled and said, "Wife, look out the window."
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback and quickly walked to the French windows. Sure enough, she saw Chi Moqing's car parked in front of a teahouse. Then, she heard him say, "I'll wait for you at the teahouse."
Looking down from upstairs, Ikegami had already gotten out of the car and driven away. He stood at the entrance of the teahouse, surrounded by many women who looked at him with hearts in their eyes, wishing they could pounce on him.
Even the male leads in idol dramas pale in comparison to her husband.
"I'll go down now..."
"Wait!" Hearing his wife's cheerful voice, Chi Moqing said seriously, "Don't let anyone know you came to see me."
Yan Zuozuo knew Chi Moqing's personality well; his words meant that there seemed to be something or someone within the company that she should pay attention to. She nodded, "I understand."
Yan Zuozuo stood in front of the French windows for a while before slowly going out. As soon as she went out, she immediately attracted Fox's attention. He casually picked up a document and walked to her side. "The commander wants you to come with him, sister-in-law."
Yan Zuozuo nodded, looked around, and suddenly saw Cai Keren give her an OK sign. Could it be that Cai Keren had also been assigned a task by Chi Shangjiang?
Because her beloved man was waiting for her, Yan Zuozuo's steps became much lighter. After leaving the Fan Hua Design, she couldn't wait to walk towards the teahouse, where she saw the General elegantly sipping tea and looking at her with a smile.
Yan Zuozuo ran over happily: "When did you become so free, General?"
"If you miss your wife, come and see her."
Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "Come on, what is it?"
“I’m serious.” Chi Moqing said, and then the fox brought over some snacks and sat not far from them, observing the surroundings at any time.
Yan Zuozuo's appetite was immediately whetted when she saw the beautifully decorated pastries in front of her. She couldn't wait to pick up the pastries and start eating. While eating, she mumbled, "They're so delicious, I absolutely love them."
Chi Moqing smiled: "Do you love desserts or your husband?"
Yan Zuozuo said with sparkling eyes, "I love them all!"
Chi Moqing's eyes were filled with deep affection. His little wife was so kind and lovely, always so innocent and endearing no matter what position she held. Being with her, his heart felt a peace and sweetness he had never experienced before.
He had loved her for so many years, and originally thought he could only continue to love her silently. But unexpectedly, God gave him a surprise, sending her to his side and fulfilling his happiness.
Watching his wife eat happily, Chi Moqing's doting expression grew stronger, his eyes filled with deep affection.
"Honey, didn't you have something to tell me?" Yan Zuozuo glanced at him, who barely touched his food, pouted in dissatisfaction, and held out the snacks in front of him. "You eat too."
"Okay." Chi Moqing took a bite of the pastry, mischievously licked her fingers, and the next second he saw Yan Zuozuo's face turn bright red, and she glared at him coquettishly, "You rascal!"
Chi Moqing chuckled softly. Actually, he didn't like sweets, but when he was with his wife, even things he didn't like would taste delicious.
Seeing that Yan Zuozuo had almost finished eating the snacks in front of her and was full, Chi Moqing slowly spoke, "Wife, let's talk about serious matters."
Yan Zuozuo nodded, swallowed the pastry in her mouth, rolled her eyes, stretched, and said, "Feed me first, then we can talk business. General, tell me honestly, is this just a sugar-coated bullet?"
Chi Moqing laughed loudly: "What if that's the case?"
Yan Zuozuo blinked: "Then shoot at me all you want, because I care so much about my husband."
These words were very pleasing. Chi Moqing took a sip of tea and stared at his little wife's innocent face for a long time without saying a word.
Yan Zuozuo felt a little flustered when he looked at her. What did this mean? Had something serious happened?
She reached out and tugged at Chi Moqing's sleeve. "Honey, don't scare me. What's wrong? You look so serious."
"Honey, are you really going to let Ding Le leave Fan Hua Design like this?"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback. When she mentioned this matter to Chi Moqing before, he didn't react much. Now that he brought it up again, it felt strange to her.
“I’m also very reluctant to let her go, but I have to give everyone an explanation. At least for the time being, I can’t let her go back.”
"That makes sense." Chi Moqing nodded. "And then?"
Yan Zuozuo blinked, scrutinized Chi Moqing closely, and finally asked uncertainly, "Honey, why did you suddenly bring up Ding Le again? Is there something I don't know?"
"Yi Fanxi suddenly withdrew from Fan Hua Design and took over the Mafia. According to my information, the Mafia is splitting up, and it seems that some people are making tentative contact with J. Meanwhile, within the Zasha organization, Dorjidawa did not win and is still in a standoff with Kuriz. J has increased his stakes and is already helping Kuriz. At the same time, J's influence has also infiltrated the country."
As Yan Zuozuo listened to Chi Moqing's slow analysis, she vaguely felt that the situation seemed to be getting more serious, as if something was about to happen.
“What my husband means is…” Yan Zuozuo frowned, “Could it be that J-Master’s influence is lurking in… Blossom Design?”
"Yes, we are not clear about J's influence in China, but Ding Le's matter is definitely not accidental."
Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat, and something suddenly dawned on her mind: "If Fan Hua Design really has J's influence, and J's target is my husband, then I am his primary target. If they want to make a move, they have to get rid of the people around me?"
"Although Ding Le is rude and carefree, she is quick-witted and loyal to you. If they were to harm you, they would definitely take her away first."
them……
Yan Zuozuo's eyes widened: "Could it be Lucy..."
"It's not very clear yet. We should play the long game." Chi Moqing pondered for a moment. "If we put Ding Le back by your side, they will definitely try to harm her again."
Hearing this, Yan Zuozuo shook her head, "No, this is too dangerous for Ding Le. The person they want to deal with is me. I can't let Ding Le get hurt because of me. Since she has already withdrawn, let her stay far away."
Chi Moqing shook his head: "Back then, Kuriz only targeted Leng Yan to deal with me, because he knew that Leng Yan and I were the best partners. Similarly, Ding Le is like family to me, and she is also very important to you. Under these circumstances, it's not something she can extricate herself from."
A flicker of panic crossed Yan Zuozuo's eyes: "Could it be that Ding Le is now..."
