Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 132 Relapse of an Old Illness

Chi Moqing hugged her and kept kissing her hair. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I frightened you."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head and whispered, "It's not your fault, I just had a dream... I dreamt that Cai Qingqing really stabbed into my stomach, and then blood gushed out... No matter how I talked to the baby, they disappeared, it was so scary..."

Chi Moqing hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, it's okay. Dreams are often the opposite of reality. It means the baby is fine and doesn't want to leave us."

Yan Zuozuo nodded and reached out to stroke her belly. "Yes, that must be it."

Chi Moqing kissed her cheek: "I'm here, sleep a little longer, okay?"

Yan Zuozuo sighed, as if somewhat annoyed, "I ate breakfast and went to sleep, but I can't fall asleep now."

Chi Moqing chuckled: "Alright, since you can't sleep, then I need to have some time to bond with the baby."

"How do you communicate?" Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly. He then took a pillow for her to lean on, pressed his ear against her belly, and spoke while stroking it, "Baby, I'm Daddy. Can you hear my voice?"

Whether it was a coincidence or the little one really heard it, it actually kicked twice inside Yan Zuozuo's round belly. Chi Moqing was startled and looked at Yan Zuozuo with surprise, "She moved, they moved..."

Yan Zuozuo looked down at him with a smile, reached out and touched his head, and said softly, "Baby is saying hello to you."

Chi Moqing was overjoyed and continued talking to the little ones, "Can you feel Daddy? Good boy, kick again, kick again, Daddy loves you."

But this time, the little guy was being stubborn and ignored him completely, no matter how Chi Moqing tried to coax them. This frustrated him, and he said in a muffled voice, "What should I do? Does the baby not love Daddy anymore?"

Yan Zuozuo chuckled softly, not understanding how someone as shrewd as Chi Moqing could act like a child when it came to questions about the baby, so idiotic it made people want to burst out laughing.

Even though the baby ignored him, Chi Moqing didn't leave. Although he had accepted the reality with disappointment, he still pressed close to Yan Zuozuo's belly, as if he were communicating with the baby on a spiritual level. Yan Zuozuo let him be, watching the silent exchange between the father and daughter, a slow smile curving her lips.

Chi Moqing could no longer wait for his daughter's reaction. He kissed Yan Zuozuo's belly and was about to get up when he suddenly received a heavy kick to the face.

His eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Baby loves me! Baby kicked me..."

He excitedly kissed the spot where the baby had just kicked him, and the two little ones seemed encouraged, taking turns punching and kicking. Chi Moqing was so excited that he grinned foolishly.

"Ugh!" Yan Zuozuo groaned, though the little guy's kick hurt, she still had a smile on her lips.

Chi Moqing noticed her expression and quickly reached out to stroke the two little ones, saying softly, "Okay, okay, babies, kick gently, it hurts Mommy, you have to be good."

It was unclear whether the two little ones could truly understand, but they fell silent again. This delighted Chi Moqing, who hugged Yan Zuozuo and said cheerfully, "Look, look, isn't our daughter very clever?"

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said mischievously, "What should I do? I like my son more and more."

Chi Moqing frowned and looked at her with a mournful expression, "A daughter is good, it must be a daughter."

Yan Zuozuo teased him deliberately, with a mournful expression, "But I just love sons, I don't care, I want a son."

Seeing her aggrieved look, Chi Moqing's heart softened. With a troubled expression, he tried to reason with her, saying, "How about this, one man and one woman?" He spoke with great difficulty, as if he were cutting off a huge piece of his own flesh.

Yan Zuozuo glared at him, annoyed. She hoped he was the one who had the final say. But twins... she really liked them...

Chi Moqing hasn't been going to work much lately, thinking he'd go back to the military compound to rest for a couple of days. Although the security at the villa is quite good, it's still not as good as over there. Reporters are everywhere, and he's genuinely worried they might sneak in one day and disturb Zuo Zuo.

Yan's mother also felt more at ease going there. Reporters sometimes stop at nothing to get a headline, and it would be terrible if they really offended Zuo Zuo. If she wanted to see Zuo Zuo, she could go there to see her.

So, Chi Moqing took Yan Zuozuo to the military compound, and the two of them spent most of their time together, looking very sweet and affectionate.

After dinner that day, Chi Moqing received a call from his special assistant, saying that he needed to return to the company. Only Yan Zuozuo and Chi's mother were at home. Chi's mother chatted with her on the sofa, but it was clear that Yan Zuozuo was in a bad mood.

Chi's mother thought that Cai Qingqing was the reason why she was unhappy, so she asked carefully, "Zuo Zuo, are you still upset about Cai Qingqing? Don't be sad. When Mo Qing comes back, I will give him a good scolding."

In Chi's mother's eyes, Yan Zuozuo was already quite reasonable. If other people's daughters-in-law encountered such a situation, they would have already made a huge fuss. Only her Zuozuo remained silent, which made her feel sorry for her. Cai Qingqing, that girl, was really something else. She usually seemed gentle and obedient, but in the end, she was a sharp-tongued person who could kill with her words. She was really too wicked.

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback upon hearing this, realizing that Chi's mother had misunderstood. She quickly said, "Mom, I'm not unhappy because of this, but I'm worried about my mother." She genuinely didn't blame Chi Moqing at all; on the contrary, she felt that this incident had brought the two of them closer, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Mrs. Chi breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked with concern, "What happened to your mother?"

Yan Zuozuo frowned: "I'm not quite sure either. A few times when my mother came to see me, I felt that she looked very unwell. When I asked her if she was feeling unwell, she wouldn't say. You know, my mother had surgery, and I'm really worried that her old illness might relapse."

Then Chi's mother remembered that Yan's mother did look unwell the last time she saw her. She frowned and said, "I'll talk to your mother another day and ask her to go back to the hospital for another check-up. After all, she's getting on in years, and it'll be reassuring for her to have more tests done."

"Thank you, Mom," Yan Zuozuo said with a smile.

Mrs. Chi nodded, then couldn't help but sigh again, "Mo Qing hurt you this time, it's all his fault. I'll give you a lecture, but you can't let this ruin your relationship. I know you're upset, anyone would be upset in this situation, but you're pregnant, you need to think more about the baby."

"Mom, I'm really not upset about this. Besides, it's not Mo Qing's fault. We're fine, don't worry." Yan Zuozuo smiled, then suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Chi Ran for two days and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Xiao Ran? I haven't seen her for the past two days?"

Mentioning Chi Ran brought another headache to Chi's mother. "Don't even mention that girl, she's driving me crazy. Ever since Zhi Tu said he wanted to propose marriage that day, that girl has disappeared without a trace. I haven't even had a chance to ask her about her relationship with Yuan Yao, and now this Zhi Tu has appeared. I'm so confused."

Yan Zuozuo chuckled: "We should ask Xiao Ran about this, but judging from her expression, she seems to prefer Lu Zhitu."

“I think Yaoyuan is a good kid too. If she really doesn’t like him, she should tell him sooner rather than later. I feel bad for keeping him waiting like this,” Chi’s mother muttered softly. “Young people’s feelings are so complicated these days.”

Yan Zuozuo smiled but remained silent when her phone suddenly rang. "Uncle Mu."

Mu Tianyang sounded very anxious on the other end of the phone, saying urgently, "Zuo Zuo, your mother is in the hospital."

Upon receiving Mu Tianyang's call, Yan Zuozuo panicked and ran outside. Chi Moqing wasn't with her, and she frantically tried to flag down a car. Fortunately, Chi's mother reacted quickly and immediately arranged for a driver to take them there.

On the way, Yan Zuozuo was trembling all over. Chi's mother quickly called Mu Tianyang back to ask him what happened. Mu Tianyang said that the duck mother had suddenly fainted at home and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said that her old illness had relapsed and that her brain tumor had suddenly metastasized. It was still uncertain whether it was a malignant tumor.

After hanging up the phone, Chi's mother called Chi Moqing again, asking him to go to the hospital to make arrangements as soon as possible, and she would accompany Yan Zuozuo there immediately.

Throughout the journey, Yan Zuozuo was very nervous, constantly chanting Amitabha Buddha's name, her forehead and palms sweating profusely. Chi's mother held her hand tightly and comforted her gently, "Your mother is a lucky person, she'll be alright, sweetie."

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip, her eyes reddening. She gripped Chi's mother's hand tightly, her heart filled with indescribable panic. She sobbed, "Didn't the doctor say that everything would be fine after the surgery? How come it's metastasized now..."

She had relied on her mother, Yan, since she was a child, and Yan was the one person she couldn't bear to lose in this world. If her tumor really worsened, she didn't know if she could handle it.

"It's alright, nothing will happen," Chi's mother comforted her, and also comforted herself in the same way.

"Mom, what should we do? The tumor is in her brain, what if something happens to her..." Yan Zuozuo didn't dare to think about it, and her emotions became agitated.

Chi's mother hugged her: "Zuo Zuo, calm down. Your mother will be fine. Mo Qing has already gone over there. We'll be there soon."

Yan Zuozuo nodded vigorously, leaning against Chi's mother's chest, sobbing incessantly.

The car arrived at the hospital quickly, and she practically ran inside. Her mother, worried about the baby in her womb, followed closely behind her.

Chi Moqing stood outside waiting for Yan's mother to have her check-up. When Yan Zuozuo saw him, she could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself into his arms, asking anxiously, "How is my mother?"

Chi Moqing held her and gently comforted her, "Uncle Mu is with her inside for the examination, so don't worry. I've already contacted experts abroad, and no matter what, they will cure Mom."

Yan Zuozuo bit her lip: "Mom, you can't be hurt. I haven't been able to be filial to her yet, and our baby hasn't been born yet. I'm still waiting for her to teach me how to be a mother. She can't be hurt..." Yan Zuozuo cried her heart out, panicked, and tightly gripped Chi Moqing's clothes.

Chi Moqing hugged her and kept comforting her, "The test results haven't come out yet, don't scare yourself, Mom will be fine, calm down, okay?"

Yan Zuozuo looked up at him: "If nothing was wrong, why would you faint? You clearly had surgery..."

Chi Moqing sighed and reached out to wipe away her tears. "Zuozuo, you don't want your mother to see you so sad later, do you? Calm down now. We're all waiting for the test results. No matter what, I will do my best to save your mother."

Yan Zuozuo nodded, holding Chi Moqing's hand tightly, and kept saying, "I'm so scared, Mom will be alright, she'll be alright..."

"Yes, Mom will be alright." Chi Moqing tried to calm her down.
