Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 482 The Unspoken Call

“We can be family, or we can be enemies. Think it through.” Yi Fanxi remained expressionless.

Tong Shili seemed to finally come to her senses. She stood up with a grim expression and looked coldly at Yi Fanxi, "If I can't have you, I will never let you have an easy time either."

Yi Fanxi narrowed his cold eyes. Before he could react, he saw a flash before his eyes. He didn't know where Tong Shili found a dagger, but she slashed her arm hard!

The room was instantly filled with the stench of blood. The glaring red and the delicate white contrasted against each other, making Yi Fanxi's eyes redden.

"What are you doing!" This knife felt like it had slashed his heart.

This woman is absolutely insane!

"It's none of your business. My body is mine, and I can do whatever I want with it... Hey, let me go..." Before Tong Shili could finish her angry words, Yi Fanxi pressed her down on the sofa, took out hemostatic medicine and gauze from the cabinet to temporarily treat her wounds, then took clothes to put on her and anxiously carried her to the hospital.

In all these years, he had never panicked before; this was the first time he had ever been so flustered. The car sped along, and Yi Fanxi's heart seemed to be blown into disarray.

Inside the villa, Yan Zuozuo was enjoying her soup. After finishing one bowl, she got up to get a second one, but Chi Moqing quickly stopped her, saying, "Husband, you can do it. Just sit still."

Yan Zuozuo touched her nose: "It's just serving soup, I'm not made of paper."

“In my heart you are priceless. Besides, if a husband can’t even take care of his wife, what right does he have to be called a man?”

This has always been Chi Moqing's principle: once a man marries a woman, he should serve her well; otherwise, no matter how successful he is, he cannot be called a man.

Yan Zuozuo was deeply moved. Many men feel that after a long day at work, they should be waited on hand and foot by their wives, doing no housework and taking it for granted. But her husband believed that taking care of his wife was the most important thing, which touched her deeply and made her feel very happy.

She took the soup, lowered her eyes, took a big gulp, and sniffed to hide the tears in her eyes.

Just then, a news report came on television: "Dear viewers, Ms. Chu Xinyuan held a press conference to address the recent personal feud with Yan Zuozuo, the design director of Fan Hua Design. She admitted that everything she did had nothing to do with Yan Zuozuo, and that she was framed. The police have now apprehended the culprit. She publicly apologized again for her previous misunderstandings about Yan Zuozuo..."

Yan Zuozuo stared wide-eyed at the television, utterly shocked. Had she heard correctly? Chu Xinyuan had not only admitted her mistake but also apologized to her?

She blinked, turned to look at her nonchalant husband, and immediately understood what had happened. No need to ask, it was clear her husband had done something.

"Honey, you're amazing! You're my dream man!" Her eyes were filled with adoration. "Can you tell me how you did it?"

Chi Moqing smiled: "With so many weaknesses, it's hard not to find evidence against you."

So it turns out her husband caught Chu Xinyuan red-handed: "But Chu Xinyuan said the police found the culprit who drugged and molested her. Who is it?"

"Several men she used to be on good terms with."

Yan Zuozuo understood immediately, then frowned. Some men are just so shameless. Everyone is happy when they're having fun, but when they're done, they bully women. They're shameless.

"Honey, is Chu Xinyuan's matter over?" she asked, taking a sip of soup.

Chi Moqing's face darkened: "Of course not!"

Seeing the news report on TV, Chu Xinyuan clenched her fist. Although she was very unwilling, she had no better option at the moment. She bit her lip, wondering if she should contact her father.

Just then, the door to the ward opened, and several people in military uniforms walked in. "Miss Chu, please come with us."

Chu Xinyuan's eyes widened, and the next second she was taken away.

Back at Tong Shili's home from the hospital, Yi Fanxi carried her to the bed, his face grim and silent. Tong Shili was a little scared; although Yi Fanxi hadn't been particularly cheerful before, he had never been this sinister.

She licked her lips and couldn't help but say, "You can go back now."

Yi Fanxi glanced at her arm but didn't say anything.

Tong Shili bit her lip: "I've thought it through. Since we can't be together, let's be enemies. Whether what you said is true or not, using this as an excuse, I think I should give up."

She didn't know if what Yi Fanxi said was true. If it was, then it was a tragic fate. But if it wasn't, then a man using such an excuse to reject her was something she should indeed give up on.

Yi Fanxi poured her a glass of water: "Don't you want a wedding dress anymore?"

Tong Shili tightened her grip on the cup, increasingly unsure whether Yi Fanxi was telling the truth. If he really had no connection to her, how did he end up with her parents' design drawings?

She was able to recognize the design drawings because of her parents' unique style and the signatures at the bottom of the drawings. In her hazy memory, those design drawings seemed to have some vague recollection.

"Yi Fanxi, what exactly do you want? You know my feelings for you very well. No matter what our relationship is, I can't let go and be your brother now. Only by being enemies can I perhaps live like this."

Yi Fanxi listened quietly from the side, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you're going to follow a thief as your father, would you still choose to follow him?"

Tong Shili's body stiffened.

"If this is what you want, I can grant your wish. Remember, I will not force you to do anything you don't like. If you are tired and weary one day, you can come to me."

Tong Shili looked at him with a sorrowful gaze. If only this man loved her, but alas…

"Yi Fanxi, will you grant me any request I make?"

As if knowing what Tong Shili was about to say, Yi Fanxi said coldly and deliberately, "I will not aid and abet evil, and I hope you will take care of yourself." After saying that, he turned and went to the kitchen.

Tong Shili was stunned, feeling a mix of emotions.

Recognizing a thief as one's father, aiding and abetting evil...

Is this how Yi Fanxi sees her? But if she doesn't do this, she's afraid she'll end up dragging him down. Even if he doesn't love her, she still can't bear to let him go.

Last night's news caused an uproar, especially Chu Xinyuan's clarification that Wu Fangfang had taken advantage of her kindness to frame her, which drew strong condemnation.

Song Yutong pushed the door open and came in. She saw Yan Zuozuo watching the news and smiled slightly. "What good news has happened? You look so happy."

Yan Zuozuo took the documents from her hand, looked up at her, and asked, "Yutong, did you see the news last night?"

"I saw it. To be honest, I, Chu Xinyuan, would never have such a change of heart. Did Chi Shangjiang do something again?" Now public opinion is completely on Yan Zuozuo's side. Chu Xinyuan's reputation is ruined, and Wu Fangfang has been doxxed. People are saying that she doesn't have any sick family members or a younger brother in school. She's a complete liar.

Yan Zuozuo shrugged: "How could that be? My husband doesn't have that kind of ability."

"Tch! Don't try to fool me." Song Yutong chuckled. "But regardless of whether it was Chi Shangjiang who did it, it's gratifying that the bad guys have been punished."

Yan Zuozuo nodded. Now that both Leng Yan's matter and Chu Xinyuan's matter were behind them, she could finally take a good rest. However, her husband said that Leng Yan was still useful and was being kept under their control; hopefully, she wouldn't cause any more trouble.

Song Yutong took the documents and went out, just as her phone rang. It was an unknown number, and she hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button. However, the other party remained silent.

She frowned: "Hello, who is this?"

However, the other party still didn't speak, which made Yan Zuozuo even more curious. "If you don't speak soon, I'm going to disconnect."

The other party still didn't say anything. After a while, Yan Zuozuo still hadn't hung up, but the other party hung up first.

Huh? Who is it?

Yan Zuozuo was curious and pondering this when Lucy knocked and came in. She placed a folder in front of her, and although her expression was still indifferent, her eyes and brows seemed to have softened considerably.

"You seem to be in a good mood today, Lucy?" Yan Zuozuo asked, raising an eyebrow.

Lucy paused, then blushed for once. "Is it that obvious? It is."

"Would you like to tell me?"

Lucy had always been used to being alone and had little experience sharing with others. But yesterday, she met the man she had been waiting for almost her whole life, and the joy in her heart couldn't be contained.

She pursed her lips: "I've met the person I've been waiting for."

It felt strange for Lucy to share this overwhelming joy with someone for the first time.

"Really? To earn Lucy's appreciation, he must be a very outstanding man."

“Indeed, it’s outstanding.” Thinking of Chi Moqing’s handsome face and captivating charm, she couldn’t help but smile. After speaking, she opened the folder. “Director, these are my design drafts. To be honest, I consider myself far superior to you in design, but you were selected to participate in Milan Fashion Week, while I was not. I’m very dissatisfied.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat.

"Now, please take a good look at my design drawings, and point out any shortcomings." He was as arrogant as ever, but he got straight to the point.

Yan Zuozuo lowered her eyes slightly, paused for a moment, and then looked at Lucy's design sketches. It must be said, as expected of Fisher's prized student, the work was indeed outstanding. Both the sense of style and creativity were striking, but perhaps due to her long period of seclusion, even such excellent work lacked a certain something.

Lucy uses animals as her theme: the enthusiasm of dogs, the laziness of cats, the aloofness of peacocks, and the majesty of tigers. But these clothes are ultimately worn by people, which diminishes the emotional connection between the clothes and the wearer.

Simply put, it lacked humanity. Of course, she still greatly admired Lucy's design talent.

"Perhaps what I said is a bit biased, but this is indeed my personal feeling." Yan Zuozuo returned the design to her.

Lucy lowered her eyes for a long time, and finally let out a soft sigh, "It seems that's really the case. Not only does Master say so, but you say so too."

Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "But your design talent is truly admirable. If you don't mind, I'd like to make some minor modifications. It won't be great, but it shouldn't be too bad either."

"You want to change my design?"

"I'm just making a suggestion; of course, if you disagree, just pretend I didn't say anything."

“No, I look forward to the director’s revisions. Please continue to guide me in the future.” After Lucy finished speaking, she stood up and said, “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll head out now.”

Yan Zuozuo nodded. After Lucy came out, she closed the door, a fleeting glint of light in her eyes.
