Chapter 198 Your husband is too fierce
Zhu Ziqing put her phone aside, just as she was about to lie down and get a good night's sleep, when her phone rang again at an inopportune moment.
She picked up her phone impatiently, glanced at the caller ID, and saw it was Li Siqi.
She answered the phone helplessly and said weakly, "Hello, Siqi."
On the other end of the phone, Li Siqi's voice was so excited it almost burst through the receiver: "Ziqing! Did you hear? The Wan family has fallen! Those bad guys have finally gotten their comeuppance!"
Zhu Ziqing reacted indifferently, simply giving a faint "Oh".
Li Siqi was clearly dissatisfied with Zhu Ziqing's reaction and raised her voice, saying, "Ziqing, what kind of reaction is this? This is great news!"
Zhu Ziqing rubbed her temples and explained, "Siqi, I was just about to go to sleep, and you woke me up, which made me angry."
Li Siqi then realized her mistake and quickly apologized, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Ziqing, I was too excited and didn't notice you were resting."
By the way, when can you come back to work? Everyone at the company misses you.
Zhu Ziqing thought for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow afternoon, I'll go to the company tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay! I'll wait for you at the company tomorrow!" Li Siqi said happily.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Ziqing lay back down on the sofa, closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep again.
As the sun gradually set in the west, its afterglow streamed through the window into Zhu Ziqing's room, bathing the entire space in a warm orange-yellow hue.
Zhu Ziqing, however, remained sound asleep, deep in her dreams.
Until the maid gently knocked on her door and softly called out, "Young Madam, dinner is ready."
Zhu Ziqing slowly woke up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and lazily sat up in bed.
At the dinner table, Zhu Ziqing looked at the delicious food, but couldn't muster any appetite.
After eating a few bites, I felt exhausted, so I went back to my room, lay down on the bed again, and fell into a deep sleep.
As night deepened, Tan Haoyu finished a busy day at work and gently pushed open the door to his home.
He knew that Zhu Ziqing had been working very hard lately, so he deliberately walked quietly, afraid of waking her.
Entering the bedroom, Tan Haoyu saw Zhu Ziqing sleeping soundly and felt a pang of pity in his heart.
He stood quietly by the bed, gazing at Zhu Ziqing for a long time, his eyes filled with tenderness and love.
After a while, Tan Haoyu went into the bathroom to wash up.
When he finished washing up and came out looking refreshed, Zhu Ziqing vaguely sensed his presence and asked softly, "Haoyu, you're back so late again?"
His voice still carried a strong sense of sleepiness.
In the past few days, many family members from the Tan family have come to visit. Zhu Ziqing has been taking care of everything inside and outside the house, and Tan Haoyu knows how tired she is.
Hearing her muffled voice, Tan Haoyu felt a pang of heartache. He bent down and gently kissed Zhu Ziqing's forehead.
Zhu Ziqing was too tired to respond to his kiss, and only moved her body slightly.
Seeing this, Tan Haoyu didn't insist any further, but simply said softly, "Go to sleep and get some rest."
"I've been so sleepy lately, it's probably spring fatigue," Zhu Ziqing mumbled an explanation.
Tan Haoyu replied softly, "Okay, then you can continue sleeping. I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he lay down next to Zhu Ziqing and quietly looked at her peaceful sleeping face. He was filled with emotion. It was so good to have her by his side.
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, playfully falling on Zhu Ziqing's face.
She slowly woke up and found Tan Haoyu already sitting on the edge of the bed, reading a newspaper.
Tan Haoyu noticed that she was awake, put down the newspaper, and said gently, "If you're still sleepy, go back to sleep. I'll go see the elders and Xiaoxuan off at the airport."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing immediately sobered up a bit. She shook her head and said, "No, I can't miss seeing them off. I have to go and see them off."
After saying that, he got up to wash up.
After breakfast, the family sat around the dining table.
Grandpa Tan looked at Tan Haoyu and Zhu Ziqing and earnestly advised them, "Haoyu, Ziqing, you two are not young anymore. It's time to have a child soon and give our Tan family a big, healthy boy."
Mrs. Tan smiled and advised, "Dad, this can't be rushed. Just let nature take its course."
The family arrived at the airport chatting and laughing.
Tan Xiaoxuan hugged Zhu Ziqing tightly and said reluctantly, "Ziqing, I will miss you."
If my brother dares to bully you, you must tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson!
After saying that, she turned her head and glared fiercely at Tan Haoyu, threatening, "Brother, if you dare to treat Ziqing badly, I will never forgive you!"
Tan Haoyu smiled helplessly and nodded.
Holding Tan Haoyu's hand, Mrs. Tan instructed, "Haoyu, no matter how busy you are with work, don't neglect Ziqing. Take good care of her."
Grandpa Tan also said from the side, "Haoyu, bring Ziqing home to visit when you have time."
I'll take care of all the arrangements for your wedding; I'll make sure it's a grand and spectacular one.
Tan Haoyu originally wanted to prepare the wedding himself, but was about to refuse when his grandfather stopped him.
Zhu Ziqing noticed Tan Haoyu's concern, gently tugged at his hand, and comforted him, "Haoyu, the elders mean well, let's accept their arrangements."
Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing and nodded.
After seeing off the elders, Tan Haoyu drove Zhu Ziqing to her studio.
On the way, Zhu Ziqing leaned on Tan Haoyu's shoulder and asked softly, "Haoyu, are you going to be busy again?"
Tan Haoyu nodded slightly and said, "The headquarters of Sunshine Group is moving to Pengcheng, so we'll be busier than usual during this period."
The two reminded each other to eat, and as they talked, Zhu Ziqing fell asleep again in Tan Haoyu's arms.
Looking at the sleeping Zhu Ziqing, Tan Haoyu felt sorry for her and thought that she must be exhausted from taking care of her family during this time. He didn't think too much about it.
……
More than an hour later, Zhu Ziqing arrived at the studio.
Pushing open the door, a faint aroma of coffee wafted out. Zhu Ziqing rubbed her slightly sore eyes; the fatigue from last night hadn't completely dissipated.
"Ziqing, you've finally arrived!" Li Siqi looked up from a pile of design drafts, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. "Our 'God of Wealth' has finally arrived!"
Zhu Ziqing smiled helplessly and yawned, "Stop teasing me, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm so sleepy."
Li Siqi raised an eyebrow and handed over an order form. "Here, take a look at this. It's an urgent order; the client is pressing us hard. Our designer, who's on maternity leave, hasn't returned yet, so we can only rely on you."
Zhu Ziqing took the order, glanced at it, and frowned slightly. "This order is indeed a bit rushed, but... it should be fine."
Li Siqi leaned closer, a hint of teasing in her eyes, "Ziqing, look how tired you are. Is it because your Mr. Tan is 'too vigorous in bed'? He must have been quite a handful last night, right?"
Zhu Ziqing was taken aback, then blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
