Chapter 27 What are you doing here?
Zhu Ziqing felt a pang of pain in her heart; she knew that things couldn't continue like this.
After some struggle, she decided to send Xiaohua back to Li Siqi's house.
Perhaps this can ease the conflict between her and Tan Haoyu.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the living room.
Zhu Ziqing got up early, holding Xiaohua, and prepared to go out.
Just as she reached the door, Tan Haoyu came out of the room and initiated a conversation with her: "Zhu Ziqing, do you really like money?"
Zhu Ziqing looked at him with a puzzled expression. Before she could answer, Tan Haoyu handed her a black gold card: "Here, take this card. You can spend unlimited amounts. Buy whatever you want."
Zhu Ziqing instantly understood Tan Haoyu's meaning; he probably wanted to buy Xiaohua with money.
A surge of anger welled up inside her, and she firmly refused, saying, "Didn't you give me a card on our first day of marriage? I haven't used that card yet; it's in the drawer. Why are you giving me another card now? I don't need this black gold card; you can keep it yourself."
Zhu Ziqing hugged Xiaohua tightly, as if she were protecting her most precious treasure.
Her eyes revealed unwavering determination, a testament to her deep affection for Xiaohua.
She recalled every day and night she spent with Xiaohua, and the companionship Xiaohua provided when she was lonely.
Silently nestled in her arms when she was feeling down, those heartwarming moments played out in my mind like a movie.
How could she possibly give up on Xiaohua just because of a card?
In her heart, Xiaohua was already a member of the family, an irreplaceable presence.
Zhu Ziqing's rejection startled Tan Haoyu, and he began to reflect on his behavior.
He realized that his dislike for Xiaohua might largely stem from his misunderstanding of Zhu Ziqing.
Seeing Zhu Ziqing so firmly defending Xiaohua, he couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
He recalled his previous cold attitude towards Zhu Ziqing and Xiaohua, which may have deeply hurt them.
He took out his black gold card, thinking he could easily solve the problem.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ziqing's feelings for Xiaohua were so unbreakable.
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes. He stood there, unsure of what to do.
However, when Tan Haoyu saw Zhu Ziqing, he was still preoccupied with being affectionate with Xiaohua.
A nameless anger suddenly surged within him, and he thought to himself, "In her heart, is this dog more important than me?"
His expression darkened slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Little Flower seemed to sense Tan Haoyu's hostility and started barking at him.
The cry was full of protest and dissatisfaction, as if saying, "Don't even think about taking away my master's love for me!"
Zhu Ziqing quickly and gently stroked Xiaohua's head, soothingly saying, "Xiaohua, don't call out. Tan Haoyu is a well-mannered person and won't be unreasonable to you."
Tan Haoyu snorted and said, "When did I say I didn't like this dog? I didn't ask you to get rid of it either."
Zhu Ziqing was slightly taken aback, a look of confusion on her face.
But she still politely said, "Anyway, thank you for your understanding."
Tan Haoyu merely glanced at her indifferently.
He then walked to the dining table without saying a word.
After finishing breakfast, Tan Haoyu went to work as usual.
Zhu Ziqing was left standing there, her mind filled with doubt.
After arriving at the company, Zhu Ziqing immediately threw herself into her work.
She was focused on organizing the project proposal for MiGame.
Time slipped away quietly in the midst of our busy schedules, and before we knew it, it was noon.
She didn't even have time to go to the restaurant for a meal.
In the afternoon, Liu Shiyan came to Zhu Ziqing with her opinions on the project proposal.
She placed a stack of papers covered in annotations on the table and said, "Zhu Ziqing, take a look at these parts. I think they need to be revised and improved."
Zhu Ziqing took the paper and nodded seriously: "Okay, Manager Liu, I'll revise it right away."
She was so engrossed in making the revisions that she didn't even notice her phone vibrating.
At this moment, in the president's office of Feiyang Group.
After finishing his work, Tan Haoyu thought of Zhu Ziqing.
He picked up his phone and dialed her number, but no one answered.
Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, his mind filled with questions: "What is she doing? Why isn't she answering the phone?"
He pressed the internal phone and summoned Yang Piaoliang.
Yang Piaoliang walked into the office with elegant steps and asked, "President Tan, is there anything I can help you with?"
Tan Haoyu looked at her and asked, "Why do you think women get angry?"
Yang Piaoliang was slightly taken aback, then covered her mouth and laughed, "President Tan, if a woman is angry, you have to coax her. For example, send her a beautiful bouquet of flowers, or take her to a high-end restaurant for a romantic dinner, or buy her a gift she likes."
Tan Haoyu listened to Yang Piaoliang's words and pondered to himself.
Although he was extremely disgusted by the idea of coaxing women.
But for some reason, I didn't feel that dislike towards Zhu Ziqing.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Could you arrange for me to go to that revolving restaurant in the Oriental Pearl Tower? I'll take her there tonight. Remember to clear the place out so no one can disturb our meal."
Yang Piaoliang's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly: "Okay, President Tan, I'll arrange it right away."
Zhu Ziqing was working intently at her desk.
Fingers flew across the keyboard, eyes glued to the computer screen, as if the whole world had shrunk to the work at hand.
Zhu Ziqing buried herself in her work in the office, revising the proposal according to the feedback.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she finally finished her task.
Zhu Ziqing stretched and checked the time, only then realizing that it was already very late.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she was startled: "Tan Haoyu called me, and I haven't called back yet!"
Just as she was about to call.
Looking up, she was surprised to find Tan Haoyu standing quietly in front of her desk.
His eyes were cold and clear, as if they could see right through people's hearts.
Her eyes widened instantly, her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with astonishment: "You... how did you get here?"
Tan Haoyu looked at her and said slowly, "I called you, but you didn't answer, so I came over and have been waiting for a while."
Zhu Ziqing's face instantly showed a look of guilt: "I'm sorry, I was busy with work, so busy that I forgot to return your call."
Tan Haoyu didn't speak, he just looked at her quietly.
The cold gaze met Zhu Ziqing's guilty eyes, and the atmosphere in the office instantly became tense.
Seeing her like this, Tan Haoyu felt a surge of dissatisfaction.
He thought to himself, "I've been standing next to her for so long, and she's only just noticed? Does she think work is much more important than me?"
He coughed lightly, trying to hide his displeasure, and said, "Are you done with your work?"
