My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 98 You got married? How is that possible?

Zhu Ziqing looked at Zhu Yahan, a mocking smile curving her lips, and continued, "You think I'm only worth two million? If you want me to leave, it will cost at least ten million."

Zhu Yahan's eyes widened: "Ten million? How is that possible?"

Zhu Ziqing smiled and said, "See? I knew you wouldn't spend the money. But don't worry, I'm married now, and my husband is waiting for me outside."

Zhu Yahan looked utterly incredulous: "You're married? How is that possible?"

Zhu Ziqing smiled and raised her chin, thinking to herself, "Do you think I'm still the same Zhu Ziqing you used to manipulate? I'm no longer that naive girl. I remember all your past schemes. Now I have a new life and a loving husband."

Zhu Ziqing ignored Zhu Yahan's shock and resolutely left the restaurant.

Tan Haoyu was waiting quietly at the door.

When he saw Zhu Ziqing come out, a doting smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward to gently hug her.

Zhu Ziqing nestled in Tan Haoyu's arms, her face beaming with happiness.

Zhu Yahan watched Zhu Ziqing's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on Tan Haoyu's back, and she was startled.

She wondered to herself, "Who is that man? Why does his back look so familiar? Could he be someone I know?"

After leaving Zhu Yahan's place, Tan Haoyu held Zhu Ziqing's hand tightly and walked towards the business center.

They walked on like this, and time quietly passed, but Zhu Ziqing's doubts grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Tan Haoyu, where are you taking me?"

There was a hint of unease in her voice.

Those eyes were fixed on Tan Haoyu, trying to find some clues from his expression.

Tan Haoyu paused slightly, and the scenes from yesterday couldn't help but flash through his mind.

Although he didn't explain it to Zhu Ziqing in detail, it weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder.

That's why he was so eager to mend his relationship with Zhu Ziqing.

He had previously sought advice from Assistant Yang.

Assistant Yang replied without hesitation, "Mr. Tan, most girls like shopping and romantic things."

After hearing this, Tan Haoyu pondered to himself. He wasn't very confident about romance, but shopping seemed to be less stressful for him.

So he decisively asked the thoughtful Yang Piaoliang to carefully prepare a travel itinerary for him, determined to win Zhu Ziqing's favor.

As expected, Zhu Ziqing was exceptionally intelligent.

They quickly and accurately guessed that Tan Haoyu's destination was the shopping mall, which undoubtedly verified the accuracy of Assistant Yang's strategy.

The two arrived at Zhucheng Road, a famous pedestrian street in Shenzhen.

The streets are lined with shops, offering a dazzling array of goods that are hard to resist.

Although Zhu Ziqing didn't have any specific shopping needs, she still thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant process of strolling along the bustling streets.

Tan Haoyu, on the other hand, was not very familiar with Pengcheng and could only rely on Yang Piaoliang's strategy at this moment.

Before leaving, Yang Piaoliang specifically instructed: "President Tan, when you go shopping, first of all, don't bring a driver or any assistants. Then, the two of you can take a leisurely stroll, chat, and get to know each other better."

So, following Yang Piaoliang's advice, Tan Haoyu dismissed both the driver and her assistant.

Then he kept taking Zhu Ziqing for a walk on the pedestrian street.

But as he walked around, Tan Haoyu felt a little tired and didn't know what to do.

Following the first step of the plan, the two strolled leisurely, which should have been a warm and romantic scene.

Tan Haoyu, however, seemed extremely embarrassed. He opened his mouth but didn't know where to begin.

His appearance was exactly like that of a helpless child, revealing his clumsiness in expressing his emotions.

"Zhu Ziqing! President Tan!" A clear voice suddenly called out from behind.

Zhu Ziqing turned around upon hearing the sound and saw her colleagues Lin Dan and Liu Shishi standing not far away.

Her heart tightened suddenly, and she instinctively let go of Tan Haoyu's hand.

She even deliberately kept her distance from him, as if that would sever all ties.

Tan Haoyu, however, remained calm and merely turned his head slightly.

She nodded slightly to Lin Dan and Liu Shishi, then continued walking slowly forward.

Lin Dan has always been straightforward, and she walked straight up to Zhu Ziqing.

With a hint of curiosity and doubt in her eyes, she asked directly, "Zhu Ziqing, what are you and President Tan doing together? Are you shopping? I think I just saw you holding hands?"

Zhu Ziqing suddenly felt as if she were being roasted over a fire, caught in a dilemma.

She stammered, "You...you...you must have seen wrong! We...just happened to run into each other."

Just then, Tan Haoyu calmly said, "Zhu Ziqing, Yang Piaoliang is almost here. I've almost bought what I needed. You can go and do your thing."

Zhu Ziqing was extremely nervous and flustered.

She was afraid that admitting her relationship with Tan Haoyu would cause trouble for her work and her relationships with her colleagues.

So she quickly said, "Mr. Tan, okay, I didn't expect to run into you here. Now that you've bought what you needed, my colleagues and I will be going."

Tan Haoyu turned and left, completely ignoring the probing gazes of Lin Dan and Liu Shishi.

As soon as Tan Haoyu left, Lin Dan approached Zhu Ziqing again.

She persisted, asking, "Zhu Ziqing, you really weren't shopping with President Tan?"

Liu Shishi then interjected, "I heard that President Tan just got married and already has a wife. Besides, he's the president of a company. How could he possibly be shopping with Zhu Ziqing? Didn't President Tan just say that they just happened to bump into each other while shopping together?"

Liu Shishi seemed to be helping Zhu Ziqing out of a tight spot, but there was a hint of bitterness in her words.

Zhu Ziqing felt extremely embarrassed upon hearing this, and a wave of sadness washed over her, along with a strange, sour feeling.

She then realized that her feelings for Tan Haoyu had changed without her noticing, and she became increasingly worried about the relationship between the two of them.

Lin Dan, oblivious to Zhu Ziqing's unusual behavior, enthusiastically pulled her along, saying, "Come on, Zhu Ziqing, let's go shopping together."

Helpless, Zhu Ziqing could only follow them absentmindedly.

Zhu Ziqing walked through the mall with Lin Dan and Liu Shishi. The surrounding goods were dazzling, but she had no interest in choosing anything.

The image of Tan Haoyu's forlorn look as he turned to leave kept flashing through her mind, filling her with regret and self-reproach for her cowardice.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

She stopped and said apologetically to Lin Dan and Liu Shishi, "Lin Dan, Liu Shishi, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to, so I have to go now."

After saying that, without waiting for their response, she hurriedly turned and left, chasing after the direction Tan Haoyu had gone.
