Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 491 Schemes (1)

“You drank too much last night.” Lucy bit her lip, grabbed the blanket and sat up. “I know you’re married. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you. You, you don’t have to mind.”

Don't mind?

Jian Ning couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He stared at Lucy's calm and composed face, his emotions were very complicated.

He was angry at her nonchalant attitude, and also at himself. After all, he was a married man, and to do something like this while his wife was pregnant was simply despicable! But Lucy was innocent; if he were to shirk responsibility, wouldn't he be a man?

"Lucy, did we really...do that last night?"

Lucy looked at him with a troubled expression, but quickly blinked and said, "Jian Ning, I won't ask you to take responsibility, don't worry."

Won't you make him take responsibility?

Jian Ning initially breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then felt uneasy. He was a man, a soldier at that; to do something so irresponsible was utterly inhuman. But he was married; how could he possibly take responsibility?

This is so damn frustrating!

Seeing Jian Ning's pale face, Lucy paused for a moment and said, "I'm going to take a shower first. By the way, aren't you going to report to your superior today?"

Ruined!

Jian Ning then remembered that he still had things to do. He quickly glanced at the time and exclaimed, "Oh no, it's almost eight o'clock!" "No, no, Lucy, I have to go now. I'm going to report to the commander. We'll contact each other later."

Jian Ning hurriedly dressed, and inadvertently glanced at Lucy's slightly lowered eyelids. Thinking of what had just happened between the two of them, he was stunned and cursed himself for not being a man. He wished he could stay and keep her company.

But he couldn't delay dealing with the commander, so he said, "Lucy, wait for me. I'll come find you as soon as I've taken care of things. Don't worry, I'm not an irresponsible man."

Lucy looked at him quietly for a while, and finally gave a helpless smile. "I know, you're a soldier, I can understand. Go."

The more magnanimous Lucy was, the more Jian Ning felt guilty and remorseful. He wanted to say something more, but unfortunately, there wasn't enough time, so he had to leave first.

"Lucy, wait for me! Don't ignore my calls. I'm leaving now." With that, Jian Ning hurriedly went out.

After Lucy was sure he had left, she narrowed her eyes, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

Jian Ning practically sped to the villa, glanced at the time, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief—thankfully, he wasn't late. Having served the leader for so many years, he had never been late, not even when his wife was sick and hospitalized. He couldn't break that precedent.

Chi Moqing is an internationally renowned war god; countless people would kill to be his foot soldier. If it weren't for his outstanding adaptability and superb computer skills, he would have had no chance of gaining Chi Moqing's favor. Of course, Ding Le's recommendation couldn't be ruled out, after all, he was his mentor.

For the past few years, he had been working diligently and conscientiously by his superior's side, and he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste. He patted his head, still feeling the effects of his hangover. Damn it, he should have taken some hangover medicine before coming here.

Military regulations forbid drinking, and he was completely out of his mind last night, not only drinking but drinking quite a lot. Jian Ning shook his head vigorously; he was sure he'd be caught in this state, and he was doomed today!

Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo hadn't come out yet. His mind was in a mess, one moment thinking about his pregnant wife, the next about Lucy, the girl he'd had a one-night stand with the night before. It was driving him crazy with all the conflict.

Although Lucy said he didn't need to take responsibility, seeing the moment she lowered her head and looked so forlorn, his heart clenched. Damn it, how was he supposed to take responsibility for Lucy?

Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo came out not long after. Jian Ning perked up and shouted loudly, "Greetings, Chief! Greetings, Madam!"

However, it would have been better if he hadn't forced himself to be energetic. His shout startled even himself. Why was his voice so hoarse?

Chi Moqing also noticed something was wrong, looked up at him, and frowned.

Jian Ning's hair was a mess, his face was pale, he had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he hadn't shaved around his mouth. He looked like he had just crawled out of a group of women, and even his clothes were wrinkled.

Upon meeting Chi Moqing's gaze, Jian Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong. Having been by Chi Moqing's side for a long time, he knew very well what kind of dissatisfaction was hidden behind his calm and composed face.

"Jian Ning, did your wife punish you last night?" Yan Zuozuo asked with some concern. "You don't seem to be feeling well. Why don't you go back and get some sleep?"

Jian Ning's breath hitched, and he inwardly gasped. Remembering what happened last night, he felt a pang of guilt. "Uh, a pregnant woman... so, hehe..."

How dare he lie to his wife?

Chi Moqing's gaze grew increasingly cold and sharp, as if it were the calm before a storm.

Jian Ning dared not speak again. Last night, he had originally planned to have dinner with Lucy and then go home to be with his wife, but he ended up drinking too much. And then... that's how it happened...

Jian Ning felt like dying at this moment, so nervous that she didn't know what to say. Then she heard Chi Moqing say coldly, "Drive!"

"Yes, sir!" he replied, feeling extremely uncomfortable in the driver's seat. If Chi Moqing had scolded him loudly in front of his wife, that would have been a good thing. What was truly terrifying was that he remained completely silent; that was the real horror.

Upon arriving at the office, Yan Zuozuo frowned, recalling the tense atmosphere in the car earlier; it seemed her husband was truly angry. Actually, even she felt uncomfortable seeing Jian Ning like that, let alone her husband.

He didn't look like he came from home; he reeked of alcohol and smelled of a woman. She figured he hadn't been up to anything good. She'd always thought Jian Ning was a nice young man, so how did he turn out like this?

It's really kind of her husband to have considered her feelings and not lose his temper.

The office door rang, and Song Yutong came in with some materials, accompanied by Lucy, who had made her coffee. Song Yutong placed the materials in front of her, "These are for the contract I'm going to discuss with Mr. Bai this afternoon. I've made some revisions, take a look."

Because of Bai Ningxuan's status, he was arguably their biggest client, and countless companies in China were eager to secure this cooperation opportunity. Song Yutong was also somewhat uncertain, nervously looking at Yan Zuozuo.

Yan Zuozuo looked at the revised contract for a while. Actually, the conditions Bai Ningxuan offered them were very generous. It should have been arranged by Adrian, so there was no need to worry about being cheated.

Her gaze lingered on the few things Song Yutong had changed, which were extremely beneficial to their company; she just didn't know if the other party would accept them.

The office door was pushed open, and Tong Shili walked in. She handed Yan Zuozuo a file folder and was about to leave when Yan Zuozuo stopped her. "Shili, this is the cooperation proposal we discussed with the Bourbon family. Take a look."

Tong Shili was taken aback. This wasn't something she was in charge of, so why should she see it?

Taking the contract from Yan Zuozuo, she looked at the revisions and said, "These clauses are indeed beneficial to our company. It would be best if we could negotiate them down, but it doesn't matter if we can't. Anyway, this contract is favorable enough for us."

"Do you have any other ideas?" Yan Zuozuo asked again, which made Song Yutong raise her eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.

Tong Shili pursed her lips, and after a long while, shook her head and said, "No."

"That's great! Let's go together later."

Tong Shili looked at Yan Zuozuo with a strange expression, then looked at Song Yutong and said, "Since it's the director's idea, I have nothing to say. I'll go prepare now."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, and the moment Tong Shili closed the door, Yan Zuozuo met Song Yutong's strange gaze. "I originally planned to use yesterday's incident to put Tong Shili down, but it's obvious that you're just emboldening her."

Yan Zuozuo blinked: "The whole company is watching. If we make it too obvious, who will dare to tell the truth and be completely open with the company in the future? This way, we may not be able to win over Tong Shili, but at least we're making a show of it so that everyone won't have to live in constant fear."

Although there was some truth to that, Song Yutong still felt that it was best to deal with Tong Shili as soon as possible.

Jian Ning drove back to the military region with Chi Moqing. Chi Moqing didn't say a word the whole way, and Jian Ning's heart was in her throat. If they hadn't been driving, she would have almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

He had no idea what the leader was thinking, but his expression was definitely not good; the calmer the expression, the more frightening it was.

Back at the military region, Chi Moqing asked Jian Ning to come into his office. Jian Ning was so frightened that she stood in front of him, not daring to move. Chi Moqing was looking at documents, and Jian Ning just stood there for a long time. He felt like he was going to die of fright before he nervously said, "Commander, would you like some tea? I'll make it for you."

"Ten minutes, and I've changed your clothes!"

"Yes, sir!" Jian Ning immediately stood at attention, saluted, and rushed out of the office as fast as she could.

Chi Moqing stared at his disappearing figure, a deep glint flashing in his sharp eyes. This kid not only reeked of alcohol, but also of a woman's perfume. Who did he go off to fool around with?

Just then, his phone rang. It was Jian Ning's wife. He narrowed his eyes and pressed the answer button.

"Sir, please don't blame me for being rude. I just wanted to ask if my Jian Ning was on a mission last night. She didn't come home all night and didn't call back."

really!

When Jian Ning saw Chi Moqing again, he had already quickly taken a shower and changed his clothes. Although he thought he was much cleaner, he felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Chi Moqing's face, which was even more gloomy than before.

Then, after asking permission, he went to take a bath several times, going up and down three times. When he stood in front of Chi Moqing, his expression finally softened a little, but it was really just a little bit, a tiny bit, a tiny bit...

He drank way too much last night; even the commander couldn't stand him, let alone that beautiful Lucy. Yet she actually lay naked next to him. How could she tolerate it? If it were his shrewish wife, she'd probably kick him out long ago.

But then again, did he actually do *that* with Lucy last night? He's a man, and if they did, he wouldn't be completely oblivious. But the problem is, Lucy was really lying naked in front of him this morning.

Just as he was puzzled, his phone rang. It was a text message from Lucy: "Let's pretend that last night never happened. You don't have to take it to heart. We can still be friends, right?"

Damn it, they slept together, how can we pretend nothing happened? Being friends, of course, but it's definitely not as simple as just being friends.

He frowned, his mind in turmoil.

“Jian Ning.”

"Here!" Jian Ning responded reflexively, almost dropping her phone to the ground.
