Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 348 Like

Seeing her blank expression, Chi Xuecan chuckled, "Just pretend you don't know anything. I'll go straight back to the Chi family's old house later."

Yan Zuozuo looked at Chi Xuecan: "Will Mom be very mean to you?"

Chi Xuecan chuckled softly, "She's too afraid of me to dare to be mean to me. Don't worry." With that, she got up and walked outside. When she reached the door, she paused and turned back to say, "By the way, Zuo Zuo, come with me to the auto show sometime. I heard there are quite a few new models."

Yan Zuozuo blushed slightly: "I don't know anything about this, and I haven't even taken my driver's test yet."

Chi Xuecan's eyes widened: "You don't have a driver's license? You'd better hurry up, how can you manage without one?"

"I understand. I'll go learn it when Mo Qing comes back this time." She smiled shyly.

After seeing Chi Xuecan off, Yan Zuozuo remembered the driving school instructor that Chi Moqing had contacted for her. It seemed she would have to get her license. She turned and went back to her room. The nanny told her that the baby was already asleep. She sat alone in her bedroom browsing the internet when she suddenly remembered the phone call from that afternoon, and her body stiffened.

She didn't know who the other person was, and based on past experience, she shouldn't accept such an invitation. However, given the other person's mysterious style, she feared they wouldn't agree even if she didn't go. After a moment's thought, Yan Zuozuo made a decision: since she couldn't refuse, she could only face it directly.

However, Chi Moqing is not home right now. What if the other party has ulterior motives? She can't afford to have anything happen to her at this time.

Thinking of this, Yan Zuozuo called Lu Yaoyuan and briefly explained the situation.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly: "Sister-in-law, I'll find a few people to protect you tonight, you'd better not go."

"Even if I don't go tonight, since they insist on finding me, they definitely won't give up so easily. We'll have to meet sooner or later, so I might as well prepare to go now."

Lu Yuanyao thought about it and agreed: "Sister-in-law, I need to make arrangements beforehand. I'll come find you later, so please wait for me."

Yan Zuozuo nodded. She had just finished her call with Lu Yaoyuan when she received a call from Chi's mother, asking her to come home that evening. On this particular day, she shouldn't disobey Chi's mother, lest their relationship worsen, but tonight was definitely not an option.

Sure enough, as soon as she said her refusal, Chi's mother became unhappy, "What important thing could you possibly have to do tonight? It's just that I said a few more words to you last time, and you're not even coming back?"

"No, Mom, I really have something important to do tonight. I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning."

"Don't try to play tricks on me. I don't care what important things you have to do, you have to be back tonight! If..." Mrs. Chi's words were cut short by another call. Upon seeing the number, her expression changed drastically. "I'm hanging up now, I'll talk to you later!"

As Chi's mother looked at the name on the caller ID, her heart pounded wildly.

Chi Xuecan... why would she call her?

Chi's mother's hands trembled noticeably. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer button. "Can Can, it's been so long since you called back."

On the other end of the phone was Chi Xuecan, whom Chi's mother had always been afraid to see. She had never been afraid of anyone in her life, but she was terrified of Chi Xuecan. For so many years, she had been afraid that Chi Xuecan would reveal what had happened back then, and that Mo Qing's father would never forgive her.

"Sister-in-law, it's been so many years, and I'm so happy that you still remember me," Chi Xuecan said with a smile.

Mrs. Chi pursed her lips. Twenty years ago, Chi Xuecan was already full of clever ideas and quick-witted. Twenty years have passed, and it's likely that her scheming has only increased. Back then, her older sister lost to her cunning. What is Chi Xuecan's purpose in returning this time?

"By the way, sister-in-law, I'm back in China now. I just called my brother, and we're having dinner together tonight. I was wondering if you have time?"

Is Chi Xuecan going to have dinner with Mo Qing's father?

Chi's mother's heart leaped, and she was stunned, as if struck by lightning. Twenty years had passed; could it be that Chi Xuecan hadn't forgotten what happened back then, and had returned this time for revenge?

Mrs. Chi didn't dare to think any further: "Of course I have time. Where would you like to meet?"

“Oh, it’s in our Chi family’s old house. Sister-in-law hasn’t been back for so many years, I wonder if you still remember that place.” Chi Xuecan said gently, “By the way, if you’re going there, please buy some vegetables and fruits on the way, and have my brother cook something delicious for me tonight.”

Chi's mother swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Okay, okay."

"I'll stop here for now, I have to go see my brother, bye-bye." Chi Xuecan hung up the phone, leaving her mother trembling with fear.

The Chi family mansion has been uninhabited for many years. Although there is still an old butler, it has been empty for a long time. Why would Chi Xuecan invite Mo Qing's father there? Does she really intend to expose her there?

Back then, one of the reasons Chi's father married her was because of her good relationship with Chi Xuecan. He doted on his younger sister and was afraid she would suffer, so he married her. If he knew that Chi Xuecan hadn't returned all these years because of her…

Mrs. Chi didn't dare to think about it, and her face turned deathly pale. She hurriedly put on her coat and headed towards the Chi family's old house.

In Stephen's villa, he was slowly sipping red wine when a bodyguard walked in and stood respectfully in front of him. "Everything is arranged. Does the young master have any further instructions?"

Little Lord?

Stephen raised an index finger and waved it, took a sip of red wine, and after savoring it for a long time, slowly said, "Remember, I am no longer the young master. The real young master is Yi Fanxi. Do you understand?"

"Yes, young master." The bodyguard immediately corrected himself, which pleased Stephen. "Are all the arrangements complete? Are you sure you can bring Yan Zuozuo over?"

"Yes, young master, everything will be done according to your plan."

“Very good.” A dangerous glint flashed in Stephen’s eyes. “Remember, spare her life. If she disobeys or dares to resist, break her legs!” He waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards could leave.

He was raised by Yi Fanxi's biological father from a young age. If Yi Fanxi hadn't appeared, he would have had to inherit the entire mafia. Fortunately, Yi Fanxi appeared, and he no longer had to carry this heavy burden. However, since his adoptive father had raised him, and his adoptive father wanted revenge, he naturally had to lend him a hand.

Stephen slowly curled a cruel smile. Once tonight was over, he would have Chi Moqing's weakness in his hands. He could kill or torture him at will, and he guaranteed that Chi Moqing would not dare to resist.

As for why he hasn't made a move all this time? It can only be said that Yan Zuozuo is incredibly lucky; she has many people protecting her, and his identity is not easily revealed. But this time is different; none of her people are around, making it the perfect opportunity to act.

As soon as Tong Shili got home, she saw Yi Fanxi on her sofa, which startled her!

"How did you get in?"

Yi Fanxi looked at her indifferently: "There's no place I can't go, only places I don't want to go."

Tong Shili's lips twitched. She closed the door, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it. "Speak, what brings you here?" She didn't want to investigate Yi Fanxi's elusive nature at all; she just knew this man was not to be trifled with.

Yi Fanxi's handsome face remained expressionless. He stared at Tong Shili for a long time before slowly saying, "I'm hungry. Go cook."

Tong Shili was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief. "Why?"

Yi Fanxi remained silent, simply watching her, the two of them seemingly competing to see who had more patience. Time ticked by, and finally, Tong Shili gave in, angrily heading towards the kitchen.

She was just hungry, not defeated by this man.

Yi Fanxi got up and looked around Tong Shili's living room. He could never understand why women would like these fluffy toys, which looked silly and stupid.

Not long after, Tong Shili came out with two bowls of noodles. Without saying a word to Yi Fanxi, she started eating. Yi Fanxi also ate mindfully, picking up his chopsticks and eating bite by bite, but he frowned after only two bites.

Sure enough, only Yan Zuozuo's cooking skills were the same as his mother's.

A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he was really hungry, so he forced himself to eat.

Tong Shili noticed his displeasure and snorted, "You're lucky to have anything to eat, why are you being so picky?"

Yi Fanxi remained silent and continued eating quietly.

Tong Shili glared at him in annoyance, then pouted and said, "Young Master Yi, can I ask you a few questions?"

Yi Fanxi nodded and glanced at her indifferently.

"Do you like me?"

"Cough!" Yi Fanxi choked on the noodles he hadn't swallowed yet, coughing incessantly. He picked up the water on the table and drank several mouthfuls before he calmed down. Meeting Tong Shili's questioning gaze, he finally managed to say after a long while, "I like it."

His answer was also very direct. Tong Shili was stunned for a moment, and her heart was filled with ripples. "What kind of liking?"

There are many kinds of liking someone, and since she has feelings for him, she naturally wants to ask for details.

Yi Fanxi looked at her intently for a long time before finally parting his thin lips and saying, word by word, "A man's liking for a woman."

"!" Tong Shili froze, her eyes widening as she stared at him in astonishment.

Is Yi Fanxi confessing his feelings to her?

Although she didn't know if his words were true or false, she had to admit that she was experiencing an unprecedented shock. She tried to remain calm, but her emotions seemed to be beyond her control.

She strained to see if Yi Fanxi was hiding something in his expression. But there was nothing, absolutely nothing. His gaze conveyed only two words: deep affection!

Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still.

Could it be that Yi Fanxi really loves her? He has always been a man of integrity; if he didn't truly love her, he wouldn't bother deceiving her, would he?

Tong Shili's heart was in turmoil. No, she had to calm down. If she fell for Yi Fanxi before confirming his true feelings, she would be doomed. However, she had to admit that she had already fallen for Yi Fanxi.

She paused for a moment, then said, "I didn't know that Young Master Yi had such a great sense of humor."

"Do you really think I'm joking?" Yi Fanxi asked seriously, looking at her with a cold expression.

Tong Shili's heart pounded, and joy instantly filled her heart. But she quickly calmed down. She couldn't deny that she liked Yi Fanxi, but the problem was that she didn't dare to take the risk.

Furthermore, there's her identity, her background...

She shook her head. If Yi Fanxi found out in the future... she couldn't help but shudder. "If you just came here to confess your feelings to me, then you can leave."

“Since you asked me, I’ve answered honestly. I also have a question for you, and I hope you’ll answer it honestly.” Yi Fanxi finished the last bite of noodles, put down his chopsticks, and said seriously, “Zuo Zuo is going to meet someone tonight. I want to know, besides Stephen, is anyone else involved?”
