My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 21 Can you fall asleep while soaking in a hot spring?

Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing, who was unconscious in his arms, feeling both anxious and angry.

He couldn't help but scold in a low voice, "Zhu Ziqing, how could you be so careless? You fell asleep in the hot spring! Do you know how dangerous that is? If I had arrived a moment later, you might be dead!"

Despite his stern tone, his eyes were full of worry.

He carried Zhu Ziqing back to the room and gently placed her on the bed.

We started preparing to give her a bath to help her wake up.

But at that moment, Zhu Ziqing unconsciously moved closer to him, her soft body pressed tightly against him.

Tan Haoyu's body tensed instantly, a feeling of embarrassment and inexplicable impulse welling up inside him.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He quickly wrapped Zhu Ziqing in a bath towel, then hurriedly dressed her in a bathrobe.

Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing's rosy face, which appeared even more beautiful and charming after soaking in the hot spring.

He felt the primal masculine power within him roaring wildly.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and quickly walked into the bathroom, turning on the cold water shower.

He poured cold water over himself, trying to suppress the surging desire within him.

After taking a cold shower, Tan Haoyu returned to his room.

But they found that Zhu Ziqing had kicked the blanket off the bed and was lying face down in a starfish position.

He sighed helplessly, walked over, picked up the blanket, and wanted to cover her with it.

But Zhu Ziqing seemed restless even in her sleep, constantly turning over and kicking her legs.

Tan Haoyu had just covered her with the blanket when she kicked it away; the blanket was always being kicked aside.

Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing like this, feeling helpless.

He was worried that Zhu Ziqing would catch a cold, so after hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to lie down on the bed himself.

He gently hugged Zhu Ziqing, then reached out and pulled up the blanket, carefully covering them both.

Zhu Ziqing seemed to sense the heat and instinctively moved closer to Tan Haoyu's arms.

She buried her head in his arms and rubbed against him a couple of times, as if searching for the most comfortable spot.

Tan Haoyu's body stiffened slightly, but he did not push her away; he simply sighed softly.

Finally, Zhu Ziqing calmed down and stopped moving around.

Tan Haoyu held Zhu Ziqing in his arms, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He was both frustrated by Zhu Ziqing's troublesome behavior and filled with a strong desire to protect her.

And so, the two spent the night together.

This was also the first time they had ever slept together.

However, for Tan Haoyu, this night was far from pleasant.

He spent the whole night taking care of Zhu Ziqing, afraid that something might happen to her.

He was exhausted after a night's sleep.

But looking at Zhu Ziqing sleeping peacefully in his arms, he felt that it was all worth it.

……

The next day, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and Zhu Ziqing slowly woke up.

She groggily reached for her phone on the bedside table, picked it up, and looked at it.

The time displayed on the screen made her eyes widen instantly; it was already broad daylight.

She subconsciously looked to the side, but Tan Haoyu was not in the room.

She got up and saw Tan Haoyu sitting by the living room window, holding a newspaper and reading quietly as usual.

Zhu Ziqing had long been accustomed to Tan Haoyu's daily habit of reading the newspaper by the window without fail.

But for some reason, I felt a strange sense of unease today.

Zhu Ziqing was about to check her phone messages when she suddenly discovered that her phone had been switched to airplane mode.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly opened the work group.

The group chat was filled with photos and discussions from the morning's team-building activities.

She then realized that she had missed the department's team-building activity that morning.

"Oh dear, what happened!" Zhu Ziqing exclaimed in frustration, and hurriedly got out of bed.

But as soon as she moved, she suddenly realized something.

Last night, after soaking in the hot spring, I went to sleep wearing a bathrobe, and it seems that I wasn't wearing any clothes underneath.

A few blurry fragments flashed through her mind, and she was startled, guessing that Tan Haoyu must have carried her back to her room and helped her change her clothes.

Thinking of this, her face flushed red to her ears, filled with shame and indignation.

Just then, Tan Haoyu seemed to hear the noise in the room and walked in from the living room.

Zhu Ziqing was frantically searching for clothes, and Tan Haoyu witnessed this embarrassing scene.

She wished she could disappear into the ground, feeling even more ashamed.

Tan Haoyu looked at her, a hint of concern in his eyes: "You're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhu Ziqing quickly shook her head and stammered, "No...no, I'm fine."

Tan Haoyu nodded slightly: "That's good. Pack up later and come back with me."

Zhu Ziqing was taken aback: "But I have a department activity this afternoon."

Tan Haoyu said calmly, "I've already asked Yang Piaoliang to give you leave. You don't need to participate in today's team building activity. Come back to the city with me."

Zhu Ziqing had no choice but to nod and follow Tan Haoyu out of the room.

Upon arriving at the entrance, a luxurious black sedan was already waiting there.

This time, the car they were in was not the Huawei Zunjie S800 that Tan Haoyu drives to work, but a black car driven by a chauffeur.

The license plate number is Di A, and the logo on the steering wheel is also Huawei Zunjie.

Zhu Ziqing was amazed; this was Huawei's most high-end and luxurious car, revealing Tan Haoyu's extravagance.

After getting in the car, Zhu Ziqing asked Tan Haoyu curiously, "What kind of business do you run? How are you so successful?"

Tan Haoyu simply said, "You don't need to worry too much about some business matters."

Zhu Ziqing pouted: "You're being too perfunctory."

Tan Haoyu smiled, said nothing more, and picked up a document from the side to begin working.

Zhu Ziqing sat to the side, watching Tan Haoyu's focused expression, and couldn't help but secretly admire his business acumen.

Sometimes he would furrow his brow, as if pondering some important decision; other times he would quickly write down instructions on documents, his movements swift and decisive, displaying the demeanor of a domineering figure.

The car was driving smoothly on the road.

Zhu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Tan Haoyu, what about your family? I don't think I've ever heard you mention them before."

Tan Haoyu paused slightly, then slowly said, "They're abroad, but they come back occasionally."

Zhu Ziqing pressed further, "So, do you have a good relationship with your family?"

Tan Haoyu's expression changed slightly, and his tone became somewhat cold: "It's alright, but this is my family matter, and I don't want to say more."

Zhu Ziqing's curiosity grew even stronger.

She guessed that Tan Haoyu might have a bad relationship with his family, which was why he was unwilling to mention it.

Moreover, why has he never introduced me to his family?

Does he not want to integrate himself into his family at all?

Just as Zhu Ziqing was lost in thought, Tan Haoyu suddenly said, "After my family returns to China, I will take you to meet them."

Zhu Ziqing quickly waved her hand: "That's not what I meant, I was just asking casually."

Tan Haoyu looked at her, a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "So what do you mean?"

Zhu Ziqing was speechless after his question.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became slightly awkward.
