Chapter 176 Let's go see our new house
Zhu Ziqing turned to look out the car window, the fleeting scenery making her feel somewhat dazed.
Occasionally, a few couples would walk by on the roadside, hand in hand, with bright smiles.
A pang of sadness welled up in her heart, and she looked away, turning her gaze back to Tan Haoyu.
His face remained gloomy, his gaze icy, like an unmelting iceberg.
Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath and mustered her courage to speak again: "Haoyu, could you please stop the car? I'd like to talk to you."
Tan Haoyu still did not respond, and did not even slow down the car.
Zhu Ziqing grew a little anxious and gently tugged at his sleeve: "Haoyu, can you stop the car?"
Tan Haoyu continued to ignore her, as if she were invisible.
Zhu Ziqing gritted her teeth and suddenly reached for the steering wheel.
Just then, the red light ahead turned on, and the car came to a sudden stop.
Tan Haoyu finally turned his head, looking at her coldly, his voice low and dangerous: "What do you want to do?"
Zhu Ziqing shrank back, frightened by his cold gaze, but still mustered her courage and said, "I just want to talk to you properly, why are you ignoring me?"
Tan Haoyu's face turned even uglier, and he coldly uttered two words: "Shut up."
Zhu Ziqing was stung by his attitude, and her eyes reddened slightly, but she didn't say anything more. She just lowered her head silently and hugged the little flower in her arms tightly.
The car started again and drove into a luxurious villa area.
This is the exclusive villa area of Jiayuan in the Xiziwan area of Sunshine Group. The gate opened automatically, and security personnel respectfully stepped forward.
Tan Haoyu stopped the car, tossed the car keys to the security guard, and then strode towards the villa.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly realized that Zhu Ziqing had not followed. He turned around and saw that she was still sitting in the driver's seat, motionless.
Tan Haoyu frowned, walked back to the car, and looked at her coldly: "Get out of the car."
Zhu Ziqing raised her head, pursed her lips, blinked her big, watery eyes, and said in a soft voice, "Haoyu, my leg... seems to have flared up again, and I can't move it."
Tan Haoyu's expression changed instantly. He immediately opened the car door, bent down and picked her up, his voice filled with anxiety: "What happened? Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Zhu Ziqing took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his neck, a sly smile playing on her lips.
She suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "My legs won't hurt anymore as long as you stop being angry."
Tan Haoyu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had been fooled by her "acting skills".
He looked down at her, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, but mostly doting.
Her smile was bright and radiant, like sunshine shining into his heart, instantly dispelling his anger.
He suddenly realized that the reason he rushed back early was because he was worried about her safety, not because he was angry with her.
Seeing that his expression had softened, Zhu Ziqing took the opportunity to slip out of his arms and gently touch his heart.
There, the teeth marks she left the night before were still there.
Tan Haoyu grabbed her fidgeting hand, his voice low and hoarse: "Don't move."
Zhu Ziqing looked at him playfully and blinked: "Then admit it yourself, you're not angry, okay?"
Tan Haoyu remained silent, but his movements were gentle yet firm.
He took Zhu Ziqing's hand and said softly, "Let's go inside."
Zhu Ziqing paused for a moment, then turned around and called to the puppy Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, come with me!"
Little Flower wagged its tail happily and followed at her feet.
She looked up at Tan Haoyu, a hint of confusion in her eyes: "Haoyu, where is this? Aren't we going home?"
Tan Haoyu glanced at her indifferently and said calmly, "This is our new home, the Xiziwan Villa District of Sunshine Group."
Zhu Ziqing's eyes widened immediately upon hearing the words "new home".
She looked around, and the sight before her was unbelievable.
This is a luxurious villa area, shaded by green trees, with well-arranged gardens, and each villa is as exquisite as a work of art.
Of course she knew that this was the most famous high-end villa community in Shenzhen, where land was extremely valuable and ordinary people would consider it a luxury to even glance at it.
She couldn't help but murmur under her breath, "This...this is a high-end brand project of the Sunshine Group, right? How could you..."
Suddenly, she thought of something, looked up at Tan Haoyu, and asked with a hint of probing in her eyes, "Haoyu, this wasn't given to you by the big boss of Sunshine Group, was it? Does every senior manager get this kind of treatment?"
Tan Haoyu frowned slightly upon hearing her words, but quickly regained his composure.
He didn't answer directly, but simply said, "Let's talk inside."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Zhu Ziqing became even more puzzled, but she did not press him further.
She followed him into the villa, but a vague unease lingered in her heart.
Actually, it wasn't that Tan Haoyu didn't want to tell her the truth, but he felt that as Jack Tan of the Sunshine Group, it was too embarrassing to say it.
He initially thought it was just an identity and there was no need to explain it.
But later, he discovered that Zhu Ziqing did not have a good impression of Jack Tan, and was even somewhat repulsed by him.
He worried that if he told her the truth now, she would find it hard to accept.
He decided to wait until the right time to explain things to her.
Upon entering the villa, Zhu Ziqing was stunned by the sight before her.
The spacious hall, the magnificent chandeliers, and the exquisite furniture—every detail exudes luxury and taste.
Just then, the housekeeper, Aunt Liu, led a dozen or so maids who stood in a row and bowed respectfully to them: "Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Tan to your new home!"
Tan Haoyu nodded in response.
Aunt Liu stepped forward, smiling as she introduced herself: "Mrs. Tan, I am Aunt Liu, the housekeeper. Please feel free to ask if you need anything in the future. All of us will do our best to serve you."
Zhu Ziqing was startled by this scene and instinctively grabbed Tan Haoyu's hand tightly.
She whispered, "Haoyu, this...this is too much! Are we really going to live here?"
Tan Haoyu glanced down at her and said calmly, "The environment here is nice; it's suitable for you to recover."
Zhu Ziqing shook her head, a hint of unease in her eyes: "But... I feel that Xinghe Shangcheng is more like home. There are only the two of us there, and no outsiders to bother us. This place is too big, and I'm not used to being waited on."
She paused, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice lowered: "Besides... there are people everywhere here, inside and out, so it's not convenient for us to do anything intimate."
A smile flashed in Tan Haoyu's eyes when he heard her words.
He leaned closer to her, his voice low and suggestive: "Don't worry, I'll let them know when to show up and when to disappear."
Zhu Ziqing's face turned even redder. She gently punched his chest and scolded him playfully, "You...you shouldn't talk nonsense!"
Tan Haoyu chuckled, took her hand, and led her towards the stairs: "Let's go see our room."
As he pulled her along, Zhu Ziqing felt a little uneasy, but mostly sweet.
