Chapter 339 Extravagant Wife VS Scrap-Collecting Husband 33
About five minutes later, Zhou Zechuan ended the call.
Fearing she might overthink it, he took the initiative to say, "It's an investor who wants to discuss a collaboration with me."
Jiang Zhiyi served herself a bowl of soup and replied indifferently, "Don't tell me these things, I'm not interested."
“If I don’t tell you, she might bring up old grievances with me one day, saying that I’m always doing bad things in secret…” Zhou Zechuan had long figured out her ways and naturally had a mature way of dealing with it.
Jiang Zhiyi rolled her eyes at him. "That was before. Don't tell me anything about your affairs now. Even if you say the person who just called you is your new wife, it has nothing to do with me. I can't be bothered with your trivial matters. I'm not just killing time."
"You don't care, yet you eavesdropped on my phone call." Zhou Zechuan handed her a soup spoon.
What she just said sounded a bit sour to him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't eavesdrop." Jiang Zhiyi glared at him unhappily, unwilling to admit it.
"Really? You weren't eavesdropping?" Zhou Zechuan chuckled, a slight smile playing on his lips, clearly in a good mood.
She was practically pressing her ear against his body, yet she still insisted she wasn't eavesdropping.
Stubborn.
He added, "Then how do you know it's a woman on the phone? So it doesn't matter if she says she's my wife... From now on, if you're here, I'll put the phone on speakerphone so you can listen openly."
Jiang Zhiyi knew he was deliberately mocking her, and she huffed angrily, "I've already told you I don't care about your affairs at all. Get out of here after you finish eating!"
She stomped on his foot hard.
Seeing her reaction, Zhou Zechuan wanted to laugh even more; her attempt to cover up her misunderstanding was rather amusing.
He nodded and said, "I have a few meetings scheduled with some people today. I'll be heading out in a bit."
Jiang Zhiyi ignored him and poked at the meatballs in the bowl to vent her anger.
Seeing that she had been eating the meatballs the most today, Zhou Zechuan put some more into her bowl.
"What are you doing? I can't eat this much." The small bowl in front of Jiang Zhiyi was suddenly piled up like a small mountain, overflowing.
She gently pushed the bowl, and to her surprise, the round meatball on top rolled out and rolled several times on the table.
Jiang Zhiyi deliberately acted mischievously, picking up the "dirty meatball" with her chopsticks and throwing it into his bowl, her expression practically screaming: "I'll make you furious!"
However, Zhou Zechuan showed no disgust whatsoever. Instead, he ate the meatballs with a smile and said, "If you like them, eat more yourself. You don't need to put any on my plate. I'll make them for you next time, and we can try different flavors then."
After the two finished their meal, Zhou Zechuan quickly tidied up the dishes and left.
He does have other things to do, all related to opening the factory, as was the case with the phone call just now.
After he left, Jiang Zhiyi lay on the sofa in a daze.
She was worried.
I really don't know what to do in this situation.
...
night.
Jiang Zhiyi was fast asleep in bed.
Suddenly, she felt the blanket become heavy, and she felt like she couldn't breathe.
Jiang Zhiyi suddenly woke up from her dream. She wanted to scream, but the next second someone covered her mouth.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." A familiar voice came.
It's Zhou Zechuan.
Jiang Zhiyi finally calmed down.
But then he quickly realized something was wrong... it wasn't him either.
How did he manage to climb into her bed in the middle of the night?
"How did you get in here? This is trespassing! Get out of here right now!" Jiang Zhiyi kicked him twice in annoyance.
However, she was too tired to exert any strength, so this little noise was like a tickle to Zhou Zechuan.
"I had a key made on my way to buy groceries this morning. I just brought over some cakes from your favorite shop... You can eat them tomorrow morning."
Jiang Zhiyi's attention was temporarily drawn to the cakes; he had brought several...
How many are there?
Zhou Zechuan seemed to hear her thoughts and said, "I bought your two favorite flavors, and also a new product from their line. You should like it..."
...
It was late at night.
Jiang Zhiyi was so sleepy that she was half asleep, muttering something to herself.
Zhou Zechuan initially thought she wasn't asleep and was talking to him, but upon closer inspection, he realized she was not fully awake.
This situation is perfect for getting information out of people.
He asked tentatively, "Have you been sleeping alone every night these past few days? Aren't you scared?"
Jiang Zhiyi snuggled up to him, thinking he was her giant panda pillow, "I'm not afraid."
"Aren't you tired from doing housework? Do you want me to take care of you?"
Jiang Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, thinking.
Zhou Zechuan then asked, "Are there other people taking care of you? Are they working harder than I am?"
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head, then nodded.
"What does this mean? Who is taking care of you?" Zhou Zechuan pressed on, asking.
Jiang Zhiyi hummed and groaned, her dream replaying the scene from the hospital. She remembered how delicious the food cooked by the housekeeper at Fang Chengwen's house was, and she would think of it from time to time.
Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Zhou Zechuan pinched her cheek. "Who is taking care of you? Between that person and Zhou Zechuan, who do you think is better?"
Jiang Zhiyi slapped his hand away, and mumbled, "Zhou Zechuan is useless... She's better, the soup is better too... It hurts so much, Zhou Zechuan died outside, he doesn't care about me, I'll go to the hospital myself..."
"What?" Zhou Zechuan frowned as he looked at her.
What is she saying? Go to the hospital?
Jiang Zhiyi turned over, lay on her back, buried half her face in the blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.
Zhou Zechuan thought for a moment, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and held her hand to press the fingerprint recognition.
After unlocking the phone, he accessed an official app and checked her medical insurance spending details.
Only then did he realize that she had fallen ill and been hospitalized during the few days he was away on his business trip.
Jiang Zhiyi, lost in her dream, was completely unaware of this. She dreamt that she had become a lumberjack and was outwitting a cake-shaped elf.
The elf asked her if she wanted the golden axe or the silver axe.
Jiang Zhiyi loudly declared that she wanted the diamond axe!
However, the little elf did not agree and suddenly changed her expression, saying that it was wrong for her to be so greedy and that she must be severely punished.
She protested angrily, clearly dissatisfied...
A few minutes later, the phone screen automatically turned off. Looking at the black screen, Zhou Zechuan finally came to his senses.
He looked down at her again; she looked extremely pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Zhou Zechuan's heart suddenly clenched.
