My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 18 They Kissed

The host persisted: "In our company, are there any people who meet this standard? Even just a tiny bit close?"

Zhu Ziqing smiled helplessly: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it carefully."

The host wanted to ask more questions.

Zhu Ziqing smiled and said, "Host, I have answered four of your questions. Have you finished asking them?"

Tan Haoyu's face darkened upon hearing Zhu Ziqing's reply.

He was displeased: "She said she doesn't have anyone she likes? Does this Zhu Ziqing not like me?"

The third activity was a watermelon-eating game.

The host explained the rules: "The watermelon is suspended by a rope, and the men and women eat it from opposite sides. The last group to finish eating it will be punished by having cold water poured on them."

"Zhu Ziqing, the hero of this event, should participate!" someone shouted, and everyone echoed.

Zhu Ziqing smiled helplessly, preparing to accept the challenge.

At this moment, Wang Dazhuang stepped forward and said, "Let's team up with Zhu Ziqing!"

Before he could fully stand up, Yang Piaoliang stopped him, saying, "Don't rush."

Yang Piaoliang's eyes lit up, and she loudly suggested, "Shouldn't we have the CEO participate in the event?"

"Great! Great!" The crowd erupted in cheers and screams.

"It would be so much fun if the CEO participated!"

"Wow, I wish I could be in a group with the CEO!"

Everyone discussed excitedly, their eyes filled with anticipation, all turning their gazes toward Tan Haoyu.

Tan Haoyu frowned, but he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept.

Tan Haoyu slowly walked towards the competition venue, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, and he deliberately stopped opposite Zhu Ziqing.

This action instantly triggered excited screams from the crowd.

Zhu Ziqing's heart tightened suddenly, and she felt a little short of breath.

She looked at Tan Haoyu nervously, her lips trembling slightly, and whispered, "President, what's wrong..."

Seeing her nervous expression, Tan Haoyu's lips curled into a slight smile: "What, don't you want to be in a group with me?"

Zhu Ziqing quickly shook her head: "No, it's just... this game is a bit..."

Tan Haoyu interrupted her: "It's okay, just have fun."

The other groups were quickly paired up, with Wang Dazhuang and Ma Dongmei forming one group.

Zhu Ziqing looked at Tan Haoyu: "President, I'll hold the watermelon steady, you can eat it."

Tan Haoyu nodded slightly.

The game begins, and Zhu Ziqing tries her best to keep the watermelon steady.

But she was so close to Tan Haoyu that she could clearly feel his presence.

A wave of panic washed over me, mixed with a strange sense of anticipation.

While eating watermelon, both of them were a little embarrassed and nervous. Tan Haoyu accidentally touched Zhu Ziqing's lips lightly.

This scene instantly triggered deafening screams from the crowd.

"Oh my god, they're kissing!"

"This is so exciting!"

Colleagues were excitedly discussing it.

Zhu Ziqing's face flushed bright red instantly, and she stared wide-eyed in shock.

My mind went blank, and I was completely stunned.

The game ended, and the host announced the results: "Zhu Ziqing's team lost, and they will have to accept the punishment of being doused with ice water by the winner."

The winning team was Wang Dazhuang and Ma Dongmei's group.

Ma Dongmei came out with a bucket of water. She dared not offend Tan Haoyu and was thinking of pouring all the cold water on Zhu Ziqing.

She lifted the bucket, about to pour it down.

Tan Haoyu suddenly took off his clothes and quickly shielded Zhu Ziqing.

The cold water was poured over Tan Haoyu, soaking him to the bone, while Zhu Ziqing remained unharmed.

Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing and gently comforted her, "Don't worry."

A hint of worry flashed in Zhu Ziqing's eyes as she looked at Tan Haoyu: "Are you alright, President? You're soaking wet."

Tan Haoyu smiled and said, "I'm fine. But you, you didn't get wet, did you?"

After saying that, Tan Haoyu went back to the villa area to change his clothes.

Tan Haoyu's gentlemanly act of protecting Zhu Ziqing was witnessed by all his colleagues.

"Mr. Tan is such a gentleman!"

"Yeah, the CEO is so handsome!"

Everyone praised it.

They simply felt that Tan Haoyu, as the president, behaved with great manners.

Ma Dongmei watched Tan Haoyu's departing figure, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

After Tan Haoyu's figure completely disappeared, she looked coldly at Zhu Ziqing, her eyes filled with jealousy.

She thought to herself, "Zhu Ziqing, you bitch."

Why is it that the CEO always protects you? What do I lack compared to you?

I dressed up so carefully for so long just to attract the CEO's attention, but he only has eyes for you.

Today's match was supposed to be my chance to shine, but you ruined it again. I'm definitely not going to let you get away with this.

Her fists clenched involuntarily, and her face was terribly gloomy.

Ma Dongmei stood aside, gritting her teeth in anger.

She spent a long time getting ready today, putting on exquisite makeup and wearing her most beautiful clothes.

He thought he could attract Tan Haoyu's attention during the event and win repeatedly in the competition.

But Tan Haoyu's gaze kept unconsciously falling on Zhu Ziqing.

She felt like she was just an extra.

Zhu Ziqing became the focus of everyone's attention, which fueled the burning jealousy in her heart.

"Hmph, Zhu Ziqing, why do you always get to steal the spotlight?"

You're always there, and the CEO's eyes are always on you. What do I lack compared to you?

"I will definitely not let you get away with this. I will kick you out of the company!" Ma Dongmei secretly vowed in her heart.

Her eyes were filled with jealousy, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Ma Dongmei walked up to Zhu Ziqing with a mocking smile on her lips.

Her eyes were full of disdain as she said, "Zhu Ziqing, you're really something! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You're playing the victim in front of the president to seduce him. You're such a fickle woman."

Zhu Ziqing frowned, a flash of anger in her eyes: "Ma Dongmei, what nonsense are you talking about? The president and I are not what you think."

Ma Dongmei sneered: "Hmph, it's not what I think? Then tell me, why do you try so hard to please the president? Why do you play the victim and get the president to protect you? Don't think everyone is a fool."

At this moment, Yang Piaoliang walked over and said with a serious expression, "Enough! Ma Dongmei, I'm telling you, President Tan is already married."

Don't make malicious speculations here, and don't let me hear you spreading these baseless rumors anymore.

Ma Dongmei was stunned: "Married? How is that possible?"

Yang Piaoliang snorted: "That's true. Don't think that just because your cousin is the public relations manager, you can do whatever you want in the company."

Ma Dongmei has always been arrogant because of her cousin's status.

At this moment, Yang Piaoliang's words had intimidated him, and he was somewhat afraid.

But his gaze toward Zhu Ziqing became even more venomous, and he secretly vowed to make Zhu Ziqing pay.

Zhu Ziqing returned to her room, feeling a little worried that Tan Haoyu might get sick from being splashed with cold water.

So he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Tan Haoyu: "President, remember to change into dry clothes when you get back, don't catch a cold."

On the other side, Ma Dongmei found Zhu Ziqing's colleague Xiaohua in a corner and whispered, "Look at that Zhu Ziqing, she's a slut. Not only did she hook up with the president, but she also puts on a high and mighty act."

Xiaohua said somewhat fearfully, "Dongmei, don't say that, we have no evidence."

Ma Dongmei glared at her: "Hmph, what do you know?"
