My Wife is a Workaholic

Chapter 37 – Extra 1: Vixen

When Zu Xiaofei was one years old, a new neighbor moved in next door to her family.

The male owner was a businessman, with two publicly traded companies, and the female was more than ten years younger than him. She was a delicate beauty who had just graduated from college.

Zu Jin was busy with work. She left at dawn every day and came back late at night, so she didn’t know what was going on with her neighbors.

But on this day she had a rare break. She slept until it was late in the morning. She got up and hugged her daughter. Then, she sunbathed by the swimming pool in the backyard.

Zu Xiaofei was wearing a baby hat and looked like a white meatball in the distance. She was lying in the lawn, playing with her toys.

Just as Zu Jin was about to fall into a deep sleep again, the sweet voice of a young woman was suddenly heard from the low wall of the yard.

“The baby is so cute!” ꜱᴜᴘᴘᴏʀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀɴꜱʟᴀᴛᴏʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰᴏxᴀʜᴏʟɪᴄ.ᴄᴏᴍ

Startled, Zu Jin took off her sunglasses and looked up. She saw a woman standing there in a light blue skirt with long black hair, exuding an incomparable aura of youth.

“Oh, hello.”

Zu Jin stood up and walked over. They introduced themselves through the low wall.

At this time, Yan Lin, who was supposed to be dealing with work in the upstairs study, came down. He picked up his daughter and went to Zu Jin to stand by her.

“Sister-in-law, I’ve never seen a man who knows how to take care of children like Brother Yan, and oh, your baby is so cute!”

Zu Jin smiled and said, “Thank you.”

She had nothing in common with such a young girl. Now that Yan Lin had come, she didn’t feel inclined to be polite. Thus, she went back to her chair and continued to bask in the sun.

Yan Lin and her could really talk. They were very animated and unexpectedly chatted across the low wall for nearly half an hour.

Zu Jin didn’t care about it and forgot it in a flash.

By the time she saw this female neighbor again, it was already a month later.

Zu Jin got off work early today and planned to have a little fun with Yan Lin in the evening, such as drinking red wine and watching a movie together.

But as soon as Zu Xiaofei fell asleep, her cell phone rang.

It’s her best friend, Liu Wei, so she could only answer it.

While she answered the phone call, Yan Lin was not idle either. It was because the young female neighbor next door was knocking on the door and gave them a little snack that she baked herself.

Liu Wei heard the noise through the phone and she couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s her again. Why does she always come to your house?”

“Huh? It’s just this once. I haven’t seen her come again,” Zu Jin replied indifferently.

“Last week, my husband and I went to your house for dinner, while you weren’t back from overtime. The woman brought food to your husband, as if she had baked it for him. Then, when we left, she came again. I don’t know what it was for.”

The expression on Zu Jin’s face suddenly became mischievous. She held her phone and turned her head to look in the direction of the door.

From where she was, she couldn’t see Yan Lin and the female neighbor, but their voices could be heard.

After a few more words with Liu Wei, Zu Jin hung up the phone and she went to the door.

She saw that Yan Lin had already taken over the plate of cookies, and they were talking about what they’ve cooked in the oven.

Zu Jin took a piece of the bear shaped cookie and stuffed it into her mouth. “Oh, it tastes good!”

The female neighbor giggled happily. “Jin Jie likes to eat so well. I study these at home every day, but my husband isn’t very fond of it. Since you all like it, I will send you some more often when I make them in the future.”

Zu Jin did not respond, but Yan Lin said, “Thank you. I’ve learned a lot from you. I’ll try to do it myself in the future, otherwise it will be too hard for you.”

The female neighbor obviously did not expect Yan Lin to say it like that, so she was dumbfounded for a moment.

After she left and the door was closed, Zu Jin looked at Yan Lin’s back and muttered to herself for a moment without saying anything more.

It was normal to be friends with the neighbors, but it would be false to say that there was no discomfort in seeing such a young and beautiful female neighbor come to her door and chat with her husband.

But Zu Jin didn’t want to say anything to Yan Lin because she believed in Yan Lin.

And that was important…

Yah Lin’s type were all career women who were independent, self-reliant, impressive and decisive.

She had seen some photos of Yan Lin and his ex-girlfriends. They were all, without any exception, imposing and domineering.

If Yan Lin suddenly changed his preference and became attracted to the female neighbor, it would be useless for her to talk to him no matter how much she tried.

They didn’t have any joint assets in their marriage and they could divorce at any time without any hard feelings.

Zu Jin let out a sigh and suddenly felt like she was in a bad mood.

Yan Lin brought some cut fruit out from the kitchen. Seeing her standing there, he asked, “What are you thinking about? Come and sit down.”

She twirled her hair. Then, she went over and sat down beside Yan Lin.

Yan Lin stuck a toothpick into a piece of apple and fed it to her. He shook his head in amusement when he saw her absent-mindedness.

“Are you really angry?”

When Zu Jin saw that he saw through her, she became even more annoyed. “Why? Do you think I’m being petty?”

Yan Lin put the fruit back, then pinched her cheek. “No, I think it’s funny for you to be jealous.”

“…whether I’m annoyed or not by you, it doesn’t make sense!”

Yan Lin saw that her anger was about to ignite, so he hurried to explain, “I really didn’t mean to get you angry. I wanted to avoid her, but our yard’s wall was so low. Feifei was playing at home, and the neighbor could hear her. I don’t want to pretend like we are not at home.”

“Then find someone to make the wall higher. What excuse are you looking for?” The more Zu Jin said, the more upset she was

Yan Lin looked at her anger and was silent for a moment. “But we are not allowed to personally renovate the home.”

“…”

Zu Jin was completely speechless, and she rolled her eyes in irritation.

Yan Lin moved closer with a mischievous smile, he gazed at her hurt appearance, and whispered, “Let’s move to our home in Linjiang. The yard is not next to the neighbors. I promise not to let any strange women come to the door again.”

Zu Jin suddenly reacted and frowned.

“Hey! You!”

Yan Lin grabbed her hands and said, “Keep your voice down, don’t wake up Feifei.”

Yan Lin, who looked like a gentle and humble gentleman on the surface, was actually more evil than anyone else and had a terrible scheming mind.

Zu Jin lived with him for such a long time that she was often coaxed to forget that he was the boss of Chloe.

The home in Linjian was bought by Yan Lin some time ago because he liked the river view a lot.

But Zu Jin was a little afraid of the water. She always worried that after going over there, the river would flood in the middle of the night and drown her, and a terrible monster would come out to eat people in the deepest part of the river. Thus, she refused to live there.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lin was so patient with their female neighbor because he had this goal.

Zu Jin was amused and angry at Yan Lin’s caution.

“It’s okay to stay for a few days, but it’s not necessary to stay for a long time. If you insist on it, then it’s okay to live alone and leave Feifei to me.”

Yan Lin was cuddling with her on a sofa, but what she said was so cold that he felt as if he had been hit hard. Feeling wronged, he stared at her with clear eyes full of disappointment.

But Zu Jin remained unmoved.

What’s wrong with this plan? He tried to scheme against his wife.

Shouldn’t this kind of husband be punished?
