My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 114 Finally Found a Sense of Home

Outside the window, the night was deep and all was quiet.

In the room, Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu slept in each other's arms.

Although both of them were filled with excitement, as if a fire was burning inside them, they ultimately held their last line of defense.

In this long and quiet night, their hearts beat even more fiercely for each other.

Their relationship was further enhanced and affirmed through these conflicts and reconciliations.

Like a seed, it is quietly taking root and sprouting after weathering the storm.

The next morning, fine rain fell like silver threads.

The world seemed shrouded in a thin veil, gloomy and overcast.

Inside, the light filtering through the windows was dim, giving the room a somewhat chilly feel.

Tan Haoyu sat quietly by the window, just as he always had.

He held a newspaper open in his hand, his head slightly bowed as he read intently.

That appearance inexplicably added a touch of melancholy, like a tranquil and profound painting.

Zhu Ziqing slowly woke up, blinked her sleepy eyes, and stretched.

The subtle movement caught Tan Haoyu's attention.

He turned his head, his gaze softening instantly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and greeted softly, "Awake?"

Zhu Ziqing's head buzzed.

The scenes of her actively seducing Tan Haoyu last night flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

Her face flushed bright red instantly.

She lowered her eyes in a panic and responded in a barely audible voice, "Mmm..."

Tan Haoyu put down the newspaper, got up and walked to the bedside.

He knelt down, gently grasped Zhu Ziqing's ankle, and carefully examined her foot injury from yesterday.

Zhu Ziqing instinctively flinched, her face showing shock.

When she saw the concern in Tan Haoyu's eyes, she knew in her heart that he was concerned about her.

I gradually relaxed, and a sense of peace welled up in my heart.

"Does it still hurt?" Tan Haoyu looked up.

He looked directly into Zhu Ziqing's eyes, his voice low and gentle.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, all thanks to you." Zhu Ziqing shook her head slightly.

Her eyes were full of gratitude, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

"Go wash up, I'll wait for you with Xiaohua." Tan Haoyu stood up, patted Zhu Ziqing's shoulder, and said in a doting tone.

After Zhu Ziqing finished washing up, she came out and saw Tan Haoyu playing with Xiaohua, the two of them enjoying each other's company.

This ordinary yet heartwarming scene filled Zhu Ziqing's heart with warmth.

Her eyes welled up with tears, and she murmured to herself, "I've finally found the feeling of home..."

Her gaze followed Tan Haoyu's retreating figure, her heart filled with sweetness.

Upon arriving at the breakfast table, I saw it laden with exquisite and delicious breakfasts.

The aroma of bread, the golden color of fried eggs, and the richness of milk intertwine, creating an irresistible combination.

Zhu Ziqing was in a great mood, and her appetite also increased, so she ate more than usual.

Tan Haoyu sat opposite Zhu Ziqing, quietly watching her, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

It's as if I can see her again, the energetic and decisive woman she was two years ago.

At this moment, his heart was filled with affection and tenderness for Zhu Ziqing.

He secretly vowed to be the one who would cherish her for the rest of his life.

Zhu Ziqing, having eaten and drunk her fill, was leaning back comfortably in her chair.

Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have to go on a business trip in a few days."

Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of loss inexplicably welled up inside her.

But she forced a smile and said in a relaxed manner, "It's okay, I still have Xiaohua with me."

As if it understood her words, Xiao Hua barked twice at the right time, as if assuring her that it would keep her company.

Zhu Ziqing bent down, picked up Xiaohua, and gently stroked its head.

Looking at Tan Haoyu again, her eyes gleamed with a different kind of light, and she said with a smile, "Xiaohua, from now on we have to call him 'Dad' or 'Daddy'."

The implication is that this reflects a deep level of recognition and reliance on Tan Haoyu.

Zhu Ziqing gently embraced Xiaohua with her slender arms.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Tan Haoyu with adoring eyes.

With a playful smile on her lips, she broke the momentary silence first: "Haoyu, what do you think about Xiaohua calling you 'Dad' or 'Daddy' from now on?"

Her tone carried a hint of coquetry, yet also a touch of expectation.

Tan Haoyu's heart skipped a beat; in fact, he had already tacitly agreed in his heart.

But his face remained calm and composed; he merely raised an eyebrow slightly without giving a direct answer.

Like a deep iceberg, his thoughts are unfathomable.

Seeing his reaction, Zhu Ziqing was not about to give up.

She stepped forward, blinked her bright, lively eyes, and pressed on with an even more coquettish tone, "Give me a straight answer! Is it okay or not?"

The way they were acting suggested that they wouldn't give up until Tan Haoyu agreed.

Tan Haoyu sighed helplessly. Under Zhu Ziqing's relentless offensive, he finally gave in and whispered two words: "Okay."

Although the voice was soft, it seemed to have immense power, instantly satisfying Zhu Ziqing.

"That's more like it!" Zhu Ziqing smiled broadly.

That smile, like the warm spring sun, dispelled the slight chill in the room.

She put down the little flower and turned to get ready for work.

Upon seeing this, Tan Haoyu instinctively followed him into the room, still holding the tie he was about to tie.

Zhu Ziqing had just picked up her bag when she turned around and her eyes met Tan Haoyu's.

Her gaze froze instantly, as if she had been frozen in place.

She stared intently at Tan Haoyu, her eyes seemingly brimming with unspoken words.

Tan Haoyu noticed her intense gaze, frowned slightly, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhu Ziqing seemed to suddenly awaken from some thought, her eyes flickered a few times, she bit her lower lip lightly, and hesitated to speak.

That appearance revealed the complex emotions she harbored.

Seeing her like this, Tan Haoyu assumed she was making trouble for herself again.

He couldn't help but sigh softly, took a step forward, and walked to Zhu Ziqing's side.

He reached out and gently stroked her cheek, softly comforting her, "Don't overthink it. I'm only away on a business trip for a few days, I'll be back soon."

Zhu Ziqing listened to his words, smiled slightly, and nodded gently.

Then, as if summoning immense courage, she reached out and took the tie from Tan Haoyu's hand, saying softly, "Let me tie it for you."

Tan Haoyu was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting her to do this.

He looked at Zhu Ziqing, his eyes filled with surprise, but even more so with undisguised joy.

This emotion, which I had never experienced before, was like a new bud breaking through the soil in spring—fresh and unforgettable.

Zhu Ziqing knew in her heart that she was like a different person since last night.

She no longer clung to those past grievances, but chose to let them go.

She is willing to face up to her feelings for Tan Haoyu and embrace this love with a positive attitude.
