Chapter 87 I hope you can marry Xiaoxuan
Just as Zhu Ziqing was lost in memories and feeling uneasy, Tan Haoyu slowly walked over, as if sensing her gaze.
He gently put his arm around Zhu Ziqing's waist, the movement natural and intimate, his eyes full of tenderness and concern.
"How are you doing? Are you getting used to it?" Tan Haoyu asked softly.
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it possessed a magical power that could dispel the gloom in Zhu Ziqing's heart.
Zhu Ziqing raised her head slightly and looked at Tan Haoyu; their eyes met.
She saw her own reflection in his eyes, and at that moment, her heart was instantly at peace.
"Hmm, it's alright," she replied softly, a sweet smile unconsciously curving her lips upward.
Being with Tan Haoyu, she felt an unprecedented sense of warmth and security.
The hurt she suffered in love in the past filled her with fear and confusion about future relationships.
But Tan Haoyu's appearance was like a bright light, illuminating her dark world.
She silently hoped that Tan Haoyu could become the hero who truly protected her and helped her escape the shadows of the past.
Inside the banquet hall, elegantly dressed women mingled, and glasses clinked.
Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu were enjoying this moment of peace and warmth.
Suddenly, a refined middle-aged man with a smile on his face walked steadily toward Tan Haoyu.
He wore a well-tailored dark gray suit, exuding elegance in every gesture.
Time has left faint traces on his face, but it has only added to his mature charm.
"Tan Haoyu, long time no see!" the middle-aged man greeted him warmly.
Tan Haoyu was slightly taken aback, then a bright smile spread across his face as he respectfully replied, "Hello, Uncle Liu."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to show respect.
Uncle Liu walked over to Tan Haoyu and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, his familiar manner making it seem like they were old friends.
Tan Haoyu stood politely in place, looking intently at Uncle Liu, waiting for him to continue.
"How is your mother's health lately? She seemed to be in good spirits when I visited her last time," Uncle Liu asked with concern.
Tan Haoyu nodded slightly and replied politely, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Liu. My mother is in good health and goes out for a walk every day. She is also in a good mood."
Zhu Ziqing stood beside Tan Haoyu, seemingly calm on the surface, but her ears involuntarily perked up.
Like a curious kitten, I wanted to dig out more about Tan Haoyu's family affairs from their conversation.
She knew in her heart that Tan Haoyu's family background must be extraordinary.
Every detail about his family is like a key, helping her unlock the door to the depths of Tan Haoyu's heart.
However, to Zhu Ziqing's dismay, Uncle Liu seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, talking incessantly about Tan Haoyu's mother.
From her daily preferences to her body care, she attends to every detail.
Tan Haoyu listened quietly, occasionally offering a brief response, without revealing any other information.
Zhu Ziqing was a little anxious, but she couldn't show it. She could only silently pray that Uncle Liu would reveal more key information.
As Uncle Liu was talking, his gaze suddenly turned to Zhu Ziqing, his eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.
"And who is this?" he asked.
Without hesitation, Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing with a firm yet gentle gaze and solemnly introduced her: "Uncle Liu, this is my wife, Zhu Ziqing."
"Madam?" Uncle Liu's eyes widened, his face filled with surprise.
Clearly, Tan Haoyu's sudden marriage caught him somewhat off guard.
He looked Zhu Ziqing up and down, his eyes filled with scrutiny, but more so with surprise and doubt.
Upon hearing Tan Haoyu's introduction, Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
What made her happy was that Tan Haoyu so firmly acknowledged his identity in front of others, which made her feel valued and recognized.
But unease followed. She began to worry about whether Tan Haoyu's family would like her, and what challenges they would face in the future.
She lowered her head slightly, a blush rising on her cheeks, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, appearing somewhat uneasy.
Uncle Liu seemed to still be in a state of surprise.
After a moment, he came to his senses and continued, "Haoyu, your grandfather has always hoped that you would marry Xiaoxuan, you know that."
Xiaoxuan, that child, knows both our families very well, and besides, she…”
Before Uncle Liu could finish speaking, Tan Haoyu's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes became cold and stern.
He interrupted, saying, "Uncle Liu, there's no need to bring up these things anymore."
I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now.
After saying that, he held Zhu Ziqing's hand tightly, pulled her around and left in a hurry, without the slightest hesitation.
Zhu Ziqing was pulled along by Tan Haoyu, her heart filled with doubt and unease.
The words "marry Xiaoxuan" weighed heavily on her heart like a large stone.
She wanted to ask Tan Haoyu what exactly happened.
Before she could even speak, other people walked over to greet Tan Haoyu.
At this moment, Liu Meili walked over gracefully.
He whispered to Tan Haoyu, "Mr. Tan, someone is waiting for you over there. They say they have something important to discuss with you."
Tan Haoyu nodded slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on Zhu Ziqing.
He noticed that Zhu Ziqing's eyes were somewhat lost in thought, as if she was pondering something.
So he asked with concern, "Qing'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhu Ziqing snapped out of her daze, forced a smile, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine, just a little tired."
Tan Haoyu looked down at Zhu Ziqing's high heels and said with concern, "You've been standing in high heels for so long, you must be tired."
Why don't you go sit in the rest area for a while and relax? I'll come find you after I've finished what I need to do.
His tone was gentle and considerate, and his eyes were full of concern and love.
As Zhu Ziqing listened to Tan Haoyu's words and looked into his gentle eyes, a sense of annoyance gradually welled up in her heart.
She couldn't help but blame herself: Why did she start to doubt everything just because of one sentence from Uncle Liu?
Tan Haoyu has already married her, and his kindness towards her is genuine. What else is there to doubt?
Thinking about this, Zhu Ziqing's mood gradually calmed down.
She looked at Tan Haoyu, gave him a sincere smile, and said, "I'll take good care of myself. You go ahead and do your work."
In Tan Haoyu's eyes, she could see not a trace of deception or falsehood.
At that moment, she chose to believe in him, believing that their relationship could withstand any test.
