My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 221 Personally bathes her every day

"Knock, knock, knock." At this moment, the maid knocked gently on the door and said respectfully, "Sir, Madam, dinner is ready."

Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing tenderly and said softly, "Let's go, darling, let's go eat."

As he spoke, he carefully helped Zhu Ziqing down the stairs, and the two of them slowly descended together.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, I saw that the dinner table was filled with all kinds of nutritious meals for pregnant women.

The steaming chicken soup exudes an enticing aroma, tender steamed fish is arranged on a plate, and fresh seafood is also exquisitely displayed.

Tan Xiaoxuan sat at the dining table, but her eyes did not linger on the food for long.

She would occasionally and secretly observe the interactions between her brother Tan Haoyu and sister-in-law Zhu Ziqing.

Tan Haoyu picked up a piece of fish that Zhu Ziqing had left uneaten and put it in his mouth without hesitation, showing no disgust on his face.

You should know that my brother used to have severe mysophobia and would always avoid anything that other people had touched.

Watching this scene, Tan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but feel saddened and envious.

She silently lamented her loneliness as a single woman, a stark contrast to the loving couple before her.

"Sigh, when will I be able to find someone who loves me so much?" Tan Xiaoxuan muttered softly, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

Suddenly, Tan Xiaoxuan seemed to remember something and said in a flustered manner, "Brother, I... I accidentally told Grandpa about my sister-in-law being kidnapped, and Grandpa has decided to come back to China to visit her."

Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, then relaxed and said, "It's good that you're back. Having someone else at home to take care of Qing'er will put my mind at ease. I'll prepare everything in advance."

When Zhu Ziqing heard the news that Grandpa Tan was about to return to China, her heart skipped a beat, and her face instantly turned pale.

The scene of Grandpa Tan sternly telling her to leave Tan Haoyu involuntarily flashed through her mind.

Even though the child in her womb was of the Tan family bloodline, she couldn't help but worry that Grandpa Tan might harm the child because of his dissatisfaction with her.

"Haoyu, Grandpa..." Zhu Ziqing hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Tan Haoyu held Zhu Ziqing's hand tightly and comforted her, "Qing'er, don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you or the child get hurt."

After dinner, Tan Haoyu gently put his arm around Zhu Ziqing's shoulder and tenderly suggested, "Qing'er, how about I accompany you for a walk? Getting some exercise is good for your health."

Zhu Ziqing nodded slightly and said softly, "Okay."

The two walked hand in hand on the lawn of the villa.

Tan Haoyu walked slowly, keeping a close eye on Zhu Ziqing's steps, and patiently stayed by her side.

A gentle night breeze brought a touch of coolness. Zhu Ziqing, however, was lost in thought, her mind filled with images of Zhu Shigou, her mother, and that mysterious man.

Her heart was filled with doubt and unease; those complicated relationships and unknown secrets shrouded her like a fog.

"Haoyu, I've always wanted to ask you, why do you always like to wear black clothes?" Zhu Ziqing broke the silence and looked up at Tan Haoyu.

Tan Haoyu was slightly taken aback, then the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a faint smile: "Well, I guess I'm just used to it, and I'm too lazy to think about changing to other colors."

Zhu Ziqing tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Actually, you should look good in white too, why don't you give it a try?"

Tan Haoyu agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'm willing to try anything you say, Qing'er." As he spoke, he affectionately squeezed Zhu Ziqing's hand.

The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the lawn of the villa. Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu strolled side by side, the surroundings so quiet that only the soft sound of their footsteps could be heard.

Zhu Ziqing tilted her head slightly, looked at Tan Haoyu with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, and asked softly, "Haoyu, did you already know that my biological father was not Zhu Shigou?"

Tan Haoyu stopped and looked at Zhu Ziqing intently. He nodded slowly and said firmly, "Yes, I knew that all along. But Qing'er, I only care about your future. The past, no matter what, will not affect my love for you."

Zhu Ziqing gently bit her lip and continued to ask, "Then do you know who my biological father is?"

Tan Haoyu gently held Zhu Ziqing's hand, his gaze tender: "Qing'er, your biological father was a very responsible and good man. It's just a pity that he passed away in an accident many years ago."

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Ziqing's eyes instantly dimmed, a wave of helplessness and disappointment washing over her. She sighed softly and whispered, "So, in the end, I still didn't get to see him..."

Tan Haoyu embraced Zhu Ziqing and gently comforted her, "Qing'er, don't be sad. You still have me and our unborn baby. We will always be with you."

Zhu Ziqing leaned against Tan Haoyu's chest, remained silent for a moment, and then muttered softly, "I was thinking that if I had connections in my family, I would have someone to help me deal with you if you bullied me in the future."

Upon hearing this, Tan Haoyu pretended to be jealous, pouting slightly and showing a wronged expression: "How could I bully you? You actually hope that someone else will punish me."

Seeing Tan Haoyu's expression, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but chuckle. She gently poked his chest and said with a laugh, "You silly man."

Tan Haoyu pulled Zhu Ziqing tightly into his arms, his expression turning serious as he earnestly asked, "Qing'er, if your biological father had other children, would you be willing to acknowledge them?"

Zhu Ziqing frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "I... Of course I hope to have relatives, but I'm worried that they won't want to acknowledge me. After all, we haven't been in contact for so many years, they might not accept me at all."

Tan Haoyu reached out and gently patted Zhu Ziqing's head, saying affectionately, "Don't overthink it, nothing has happened yet. No matter what, I'll be by your side."

After saying that, he took Zhu Ziqing's hand again and continued to stroll on the lawn.

Zhu Ziqing felt the warmth from Tan Haoyu's palm, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

She silently hoped that Tan Haoyu would continue to hold her hand and walk with her like this, and that they would never be separated.

However, for some reason, a strange sense of unease welled up inside me.

She gazed at the beautiful scene before her, yet a nagging worry lingered: this happiness might suddenly vanish, and she would lose Tan Haoyu forever. This anxiety, like a thin layer of gloom, quietly enveloped her heart…
