Chapter 495 Conspiracy (5)
Chapter 495 Conspiracy (5)
Jian Ning felt awkward, not understanding why Lucy would suddenly bring this up. He subconsciously glanced at Yan Zuozuo; if the madam got angry, he'd probably have to pack his bags and leave right now. The commander's doting on his wife was outrageous.
Lucy wasn't really waiting for Jian Ning to speak. She refused the spoon he offered, looked at Yan Zuozuo, and said softly, "Director, I have to apologize to you here."
"Ok?"
“I ran into Ikegami at the supermarket that day and we had a very pleasant chat. I admire Ikegami, so I gave him my phone number. I even asked Ikegami for his number, but he didn’t give it to me.”
“That’s all in the past, Madam. You’re not angry, are you?” Jian Ning quickly spoke up, as if worried that Yan Zuozuo would lash out at Lucy.
Yan Zuozuo felt somewhat dissatisfied with Jian Ning, but she didn't show it. So that's how she got the note in her husband's pocket. She breathed a sigh of relief. "My husband's status is a bit different, so it's not convenient to disclose his phone number."
Lucy smiled and said, "I didn't know that Ikegami wasn't wearing a military uniform back then. Hehe, I was being presumptuous."
Yan Zuozuo remained silent. She was well aware of Chi Moqing's irresistible charm towards women. He had always handled things perfectly, never giving her a reason to doubt him, and she had absolute trust in him, until the note and Shang Xiaoguo's phone number were linked together…
She shook her head; indeed, the more you care, the more afraid you are of losing it.
After a pause, Lucy hesitated for a moment before asking, "Director, may I ask you a question?"
"You say it."
"Does Ikegami know that I'm your assistant? Has he mentioned me at home?"
Yan Zuozuo paused slightly: "There's nothing my husband doesn't know about me, but he certainly hasn't mentioned you."
Lucy was even more indignant, and chuckled, "Chishang is really a good man."
The atmosphere was a little awkward, especially since Jian Ning seemed somewhat unhappy. "I'm a good man too..."
However, he only got halfway through his sentence, making the atmosphere even more awkward.
Yan Zuozuo coughed lightly twice: "Jian Ning, how many months pregnant is your wife? Is she alright?"
Jian Ning licked her lips, feeling a little guilty. "It's been almost eight months, and I'm doing well. Thank you for your concern, Madam."
Yan Zuozuo rolled her eyes inwardly: "Women are especially vulnerable when they are pregnant. They need their husbands to be patient, take good care of them, and spend more time with them."
Jian Ning nodded, not daring to look Yan Zuozuo in the eye.
"Lucy, you should get some rest. My husband will handle the car accident." Yan Zuozuo glanced at her. "Then I'll be going now."
If Lucy had hit someone else, things might have been more complicated. But since it was her husband's car, things were much easier. Although she didn't particularly like Lucy in terms of romantic relationships, she was still a colleague and her assistant, so she'd help her out if she could.
"Thank you, Director, but since I was the one who caused the accident, I naturally have to take responsibility."
"Let's talk about that later. You should focus on recovering first." Yan Zuozuo nodded, glanced at Song Yutong, and said, "Yutong, I have some business to discuss with you. I need to come out for a bit."
Song Yutong followed Yan Zuozuo out, and Yan Zuozuo told her about handing the contract over to Tong Shili. Song Yutong clearly disagreed, but knew this matter couldn't be delayed, so she didn't say much in the end.
After finishing his call, Chi Moqing came over, put his arm around Yan Zuozuo, and whispered, "Are you leaving?"
Yan Zuozuo nodded and followed Chi Moqing out of the hospital.
In the ward, after Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing left, Lucy seemed even weaker, and her gaze towards Jian Ning became increasingly pitiful. "Director Yan is really lucky; General Chi cares about her so much."
Jian Ning's heart skipped a beat: "Lucy, you're not still thinking about the Chief, are you?"
He frowned, feeling uneasy.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I just envy Director Yan for having such a good man who loves her, while I..." she said, becoming even more sorrowful.
Jian Ning felt both guilty and distressed: "You have me, sweetie, eat first."
"Can I rely on you?" Lucy smiled sadly, her big, watery eyes looking at Jian Ning with a pitiful expression.
"Of course, I'm your man."
“Jian Ning…” Lucy seemed even more moved, and threw herself into Jian Ning’s arms.
Jian Ning felt his manly desires fully satisfied. He reached out and hugged Lucy, enjoying the feeling of being relied upon and worshipped. Lucy, however, narrowed her eyes in his arms, a calculating smile slowly spreading across her lips.
So what if Chi Moqing loves Yan Zuozuo? She believes that with Lucy's abilities and skills, he will be hers sooner or later. The more challenging something is, the more she likes it. As long as the other person is Chi Moqing, any sacrifice is worthwhile!
Yan Zuozuo and Chi Moqing drove back. She remembered her husband's earlier unhappiness. Biting her lip, she reached out and tugged at his sleeve, "Husband..."
Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow, thinking he could get away with being cute? But damn it, he actually found it very effective!
"what you want to say?"
Yan Zuozuo winked ingratiatingly: "It's about... about you having Lucy's phone in your pocket..."
Finally, you're asking?
"You knew a long time ago, didn't you?"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, feeling somewhat guilty.
“My clothes have been hanging on the hanger for so long. Normally, you would have put them away by now. But that one piece of clothing is the only one you left there unattended.”
Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat: "You found out a long time ago, why didn't you explain it to me?" It made her sad for a long time.
To be honest, she still feels a little uneasy. Why didn't her husband tell her this, but instead she heard it from Lucy? If her husband had been honest with her first, things wouldn't have been so complicated.
While the light was red, Chi Moqing turned to look at her, feeling helpless. "Silly girl, I was just afraid you'd misunderstand."
She misunderstood because he didn't say anything.
She glared at him: "Why didn't you tell me about the car accident? The whole world knows, but I was the last to find out!" Of course, it wasn't the last, but he didn't say it out loud, and he felt aggrieved.
Chi Moqing reached out and pulled her into his arms: "When I first met Lucy, I didn't tell you because I thought we wouldn't have much contact afterward, and I was also worried you'd misunderstand. As for what happened this afternoon, I was afraid you'd worry about me. You're pregnant now, how could you withstand such a shock? Most importantly, I wasn't injured, so..."
Gently stroking his wife's long hair, he sighed softly. It was precisely because he knew her personality so well that he was afraid she would be anxious if she found out, especially since she was pregnant. But it seemed his actions were even more inappropriate; his wife was angry, and quite angry at that.
"Honey, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I promise I won't do it again."
Just then, the light turned green, and Chi Moqing drove while observing his wife's mood.
Faced with her husband's sincere and pitiful apology, Yan Zuozuo's doubts and suspicions had largely dissipated. Actually, she was also at fault; if she had simply confronted him after finding the note, perhaps none of this would have happened. Besides, with her husband's status and looks, countless women would want to pursue him, and sometimes it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Over the years, she has seen all the sacrifices her husband has made for her. He has taken care of everything at home. If he didn't love her, he wouldn't have been so indifferent. After all, there are plenty of women who want to be with him.
She sighed softly and turned to look at him: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you and overthink things."
Chi Moqing smiled faintly: "I like it when you overthink things. It proves that your wife cares about me. If you didn't care, it would be my fault for crying."
Other men might see this as a woman being unreasonable, but little do they know it's a sign of her love. If a woman no longer loves him, why should she be sad and suffer because of him? He doesn't know if other men cherish their blessings, but he treasures his wife's petty nature and even hopes she can be even more so.
Yan Zuozuo met Chi Moqing's calm, gentle, and unwavering gaze, and smiled with satisfaction. It seemed her husband really hadn't lied to her. After being married for so long, no matter how well Chi Moqing hid his lies, she could still detect them if he did.
She snorted and said, "That's easy for you to say. If I were to act up every day, wouldn't you be annoyed to death?"
Chi Moqing laughed loudly: "How could I not know what kind of person my wife is?" Over the years, he has seen his wife's kindness and strength. No matter how beautiful or charming a woman is, or how pure and moving she is, none of them can warm his heart as much as his wife's gentle smile.
In this world, the women he cares about most are his wife and his mother. However, compared to his mother's strong personality, his wife is too kind and easily taken advantage of, so he has to worry about her more.
In this world, no one is allowed to bully his wife, including himself!
Back home, Chi Moqing went to take a shower. Yan Zuozuo's phone received a text message from Shang Xiaoguo, a message of concern. She smiled slightly, glanced back at the closed bathroom door, and then went to the balcony to call Shang Xiaoguo back.
After hearing this, Shang Xiaoguo breathed a long sigh of relief. "That's good. I was worried that Sister Yan would be sad. But don't worry, Sister Yan, if he dares to betray you, I'll beat him up for you!"
Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched. This little girl is heavily pregnant and already wants to beat someone up.
"Is Young Master Ou good to you? Is the baby obedient?" Yan Zuozuo asked with concern after telling her about Chi Moqing.
"He's always so neurotic, like he's the one who's pregnant. He gets nervous about everything I do. The baby's fine though, eating and sleeping well, and it's a little girl." Shang Xiaoguo patted her belly, speaking cheerfully.
Sure enough, Ou Luhan's loud screams came from the other end of the phone, "Don't film! Don't film! What if something happens? Oh my goodness..."
"..." Yan Zuozuo was speechless. Chi Moqing also felt sorry for her, but it wasn't that exaggerated. "It's good that you're alright. I'm relieved. By the way, tell Young Master Ou that I'm going to visit him soon. I want to talk to him about some cooperation matters."
"Don't worry, Sister Yan, name your terms. If he dares not agree, I'll take care of him for you," Shang Xiaoguo said righteously. "But, you have two sons, so you have to give me one as a son-in-law. It's settled then!"
What do you mean it's settled like that? This girl is so impulsive, she's about to be a mother and she's still so childish.
"Okay, as long as they like each other in the future, I, as their mother-in-law, promise not to interfere." Shang Xiaoguo and Ou Luhan's daughter is sure to be beautiful, so their son won't be at a disadvantage.
"Looks like I need to teach my daughter from a young age that she's a married woman and can't cheat on her husband..."
"Shang Xiaoguo! That's my daughter, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ou Luhan roared, which made Yan Zuozuo burst out laughing, "Then you'd better educate your little princess well, so she won't be as unreliable as the Third Young Master."
"Yan Zuozuo, I'm forbidding you from contacting my wife!" Ou Luhan jumped up and down, followed by Shang Xiaoguo's dissatisfied protest, "Get out of my way! If you dare to stop me from contacting Sister Yan, I'll castrate you!"
Young Master Ou burst into tears.
