My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 207 A Heart-wrenching Past

Left with no other choice, Tan Haoyu had Aunt Chen prepare some light but nutritious food and serve it to Zhu Ziqing.

"Ziqing, eat something, or your body won't be able to take it," he gently advised.

Zhu Ziqing managed to eat a few bites, but then couldn't help but spit them out.

Despite feeling unwell, Zhu Ziqing still insisted on going to work at the studio.

"I'm fine. Work distracts me, which makes me feel less uncomfortable," she told Tan Haoyu.

Although Tan Haoyu was worried, he did not want to hurt her self-esteem, so he could only offer his silent support.

One day, Tan Haoyu accidentally discovered that Zhu Ziqing had never touched his salary card.

"Ziqing, why don't you use my money?" he couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Ziqing smiled and said, "I have my own income and don't want to always depend on you."

Tan Haoyu felt a little uncomfortable. "We're husband and wife. What's mine is yours. You don't need to be so formal."

After another bout of morning sickness, Zhu Ziqing leaned weakly against Tan Haoyu's chest.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," she whispered to comfort him.

Tan Haoyu hugged her tightly with heartache, "Ziqing, we only want this one child. I don't want you to suffer anymore."

The doctor repeatedly emphasized that pregnant women need to supplement their nutrition. Tan Haoyu asked Aunt Chen to prepare different kinds of food every day, and although Zhu Ziqing didn't eat much, she still tried her best to eat.

"I will persevere for the sake of my child," Zhu Ziqing said firmly.

Zhu Ziqing leaned back on the sofa, gently stroking her lower abdomen, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Haoyu, what do you think about us having more kids in the future? It would be so much more fun to have a lively and bustling home."

She imagined the children running and playing in the yard, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her face.

Tan Haoyu remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Ziqing, it's my fault. I wasn't careful back then, and you suffered because of it."

Zhu Ziqing shook her head. "Don't say that. This was a decision we made together."

Zhu Ziqing suddenly leaned closer to Tan Haoyu and said playfully, "Haoyu, give me a kiss, and maybe I won't throw up."

Tan Haoyu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The kiss was deep and passionate, as if he wanted to convey all his love to her.

However, as soon as the kiss ended, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but gag again.

Tan Haoyu stood silently to the side, his heart filled with self-reproach.

After rinsing her mouth, Zhu Ziqing looked at Tan Haoyu apologetically, "I'm sorry, I made you worry again."

Tan Haoyu remained silent, his face grim.

Zhu Ziqing reached out and poked his face. "Don't be angry, smile."

Tan Haoyu sighed helplessly and helped her back to her room.

Lying in bed, Zhu Ziqing said softly, "Haoyu, don't you think I'm a nuisance? I'm always throwing up, making you worry."

Tan Haoyu's face instantly turned ugly. "Don't overthink it, get some sleep."

He sat on the edge of the bed, watching Zhu Ziqing gradually fall asleep, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

"Ziqing, I hope you can rely on me more and not always be so stubborn," he said silently to himself.

Recently, Zhu Ziqing has been waking up much later than usual due to health reasons.

She rushed to the studio around 10 a.m.

When Li Siqi saw her, his expression changed. His lips parted slightly, but he quickly closed them again, looking as if he was hiding some huge secret.

Zhu Ziqing keenly noticed her odd behavior, raised an eyebrow, and teased, "Siqi, what's wrong with you? Just say what you want to say, or are you trying to play riddles with me?"

Li Siqi hesitated for a long time, torn between her own thoughts and her own. She knew in her heart that some things couldn't be hidden forever, and even if she didn't say anything now, Zhu Ziqing would find out sooner or later.

After much thought, she decided to tell Zhu Ziqing herself and give her a heads-up.

"Ziqing, please sit down." Li Siqi helped Zhu Ziqing sit down on the sofa and asked with a serious expression, "I want to ask, what are your feelings towards Wan Qingsha right now?"

"Wan Qingsha?" Zhu Ziqing's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this. "Why did you suddenly bring him up?"

She gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. "Right now, all I can think about is Haoyu and the baby in my belly. I don't have the mind to think about people and things from the past. I'm really not interested in any news about him."

Looking at her calm expression, Li Siqi gritted her teeth and still revealed the bombshell news: "Ziqing, Wan Qingsha was killed by Zhu Yahan a week ago."

"What?" Zhu Ziqing's eyes widened. Although she no longer had any feelings for Wan Qingsha, hearing this news still stirred up a complex and indescribable emotion in her heart.

She remained silent for a long time, and images of her time with Wan Qingsha involuntarily surfaced in her mind. Those past experiences, whether sweet or painful, flashed before her eyes like scenes from a movie.

"I... I really didn't expect it to end like this," Zhu Ziqing murmured, her voice filled with disbelief.

Although I've long since let it go, there was still a deeply unforgettable past.

Upon hearing this news, those deep-seated memories still surged forth like a tide, and complex emotions instantly overwhelmed her.

Zhu Ziqing's thoughts drifted back to many years ago, to that sunny afternoon when Wanqingsha, like a ray of light, entered her world.

Back then, Wan Qingsha radiated dazzling brilliance and was the object of pursuit for ladies from prestigious families.

"Ziqing, I love you. Let's get married after graduation. I'll take care of you and make you the happiest woman in the world." Wan Qingsha's heartfelt confession still seemed to echo in my ears.

And that time, Wan Qingsha explained to her anxiously, "Ziqing, what happened between Yahan and me was really just a momentary impulse. In my heart, the only person I have ever loved is you."

When they were children, Zhu Ziqing and Zhu Yahan had just moved to a new school when they encountered the predicament that the school bus could not drive into the villa area, and they had to walk home. After a torrential downpour, the two of them were soaked to the bone and looked utterly disheveled.

"Haha, you two look like two little beggars!" Wan Qingsha's merciless laughter rang out.

Zhu Ziqing was both angry and annoyed, and rushed up to bite Wan Qingsha. "Ziqing, don't mess with him, he's the eldest young master of the Wan family." The gentle Zhu Yahan quickly pulled her back and whispered her advice.

Later, when Zhu Yahan was bullied by the kids in the circle, Zhu Ziqing stood up for her without hesitation and fought with them, only to be beaten black and blue.

At the critical moment, Wan Qingsha appeared and shouted, "Stop it, all of you! If anyone dares to bully them again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

From then on, with Wan Qingsha's protection, no one in the school circle dared to mess with Zhu Ziqing, and she was free to do what she liked. That was also a happy period for her during her student years.
