Chapter 201 I advise you to leave TA as soon as possible
Grandpa Tan picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and looked intently at Zhu Ziqing.
"Haoyu has always been exceptionally dedicated to his work since he was a child, and he has almost never given his heart to any woman." His tone was calm, but it carried a hint of profound meaning.
Zhu Ziqing frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but still maintained a polite smile. "Haoyu is indeed very focused on his career, which is what I admire about him."
Old Master Tan put down his teacup, his gaze sharp. "Miss Zhu, do you think Haoyu married you because of love? Or... just on a whim, or out of pity?"
Zhu Ziqing's fingers tightened slightly, but her voice remained calm, "Grandpa Tan, even without love, two people can get along well for a lifetime. Besides, Haoyu is very good to me, and I don't care whether he's doing it out of pity or sympathy."
She raised her head, her gaze resolute. "The important thing is that we are together now, and we will always be together in the future."
Old Master Tan sneered, "Young man, don't speak too confidently. Haoyu is still young. When he meets someone he truly loves, his pity and sympathy for you will be nothing."
He paused, his tone softening slightly, "Miss Zhu, I advise you to leave Haoyu as soon as possible for his own good. It will be better for both of you."
Zhu Ziqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Grandpa Tan, you said Haoyu is the head of the Sunshine Group? I really didn't know that."
She shook her head, a hint of self-mockery in her voice, "Looks like I'm really stupid, I didn't even figure out who my boyfriend is."
Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath, her gaze frank. "Actually, I've never cared whether Haoyu is the head of some kind of corporation. I just hope he's an ordinary man who can live an ordinary life with me."
Her voice was soft yet firm, “I don’t need him to make a lot of money, nor do I need to live in a big villa. I just want a warm home and someone who loves me.”
Grandpa Tan sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness, "In the eyes of elders, Haoyu is still a child. We only hope that his life goes smoothly and that he doesn't leave any stains."
He looked at Zhu Ziqing with a complicated expression, "Miss Zhu, I hope you can understand our good intentions as elders."
Upon hearing the word "child," Zhu Ziqing subconsciously touched her lower abdomen. A new life was growing there, the fruit of her and Tan Haoyu's love.
The joy of discovering she was pregnant and the urge to tell Tan Haoyu immediately flashed through her mind. A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Seeing Zhu Ziqing's silence, Old Master Tan assumed she was wavering and continued, "Miss Zhu, if you are willing to leave Haoyu, I can arrange for you to study under a famous fashion designer and guarantee your future livelihood."
Zhu Ziqing raised her head, her eyes sharp. "Grandpa Tan, thank you for your kindness. But I will not leave Haoyu on my own initiative unless he asks me to leave, or he chooses to leave me."
She stood up, gracefully straightened her clothes, and bowed slightly. "Grandpa Tan, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Zhu Ziqing walked out of the tea room, the sunlight shining on her face, warm and bright, but her heart felt like a jumbled mess of emotions, difficult to describe.
She hadn't walked far when Zhu Ziqing felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, her steps light and unsteady, as if she were walking on cotton. She instinctively grabbed the wall for support, her fingertips feeling slightly cold.
"I can't fall... I absolutely can't fall here." She silently repeated to herself, gritting her teeth and trying to steady herself.
She would never allow herself to show a pathetic side in front of those who looked down on her, and she would persevere no matter how unwell she felt.
Inside the teahouse, the antique decor exudes elegance. People come here not only to enjoy tea, but also to discuss business, socialize, and even negotiate.
As he watched Zhu Ziqing's retreating figure, Old Master Tan's tone remained calm. "Miss Zhu, I'll give you five days to think it over. The conditions I promised still stand. I hope you won't let me down."
Zhu Ziqing stopped in her tracks without turning around, but her voice was clear and firm, "Grandpa Tan, you don't need to persuade me anymore. If you really want to solve the problem, why don't you try to persuade Haoyu?"
She turned around and looked directly at Grandpa Tan. "My marriage with Haoyu may not have been filled with passionate love, but we are willing to live together and support each other. He promised me that as long as he doesn't mention breaking up, I won't either."
Grandpa Tan frowned, seemingly surprised by her resolute attitude.
Stepping out of the teahouse, the sunlight bathed Zhu Ziqing, its warmth dispelling the chill from her body. She looked up at the sky, but couldn't help thinking of Tan Haoyu.
"Haoyu, do you know? You have always been my source of warmth." She murmured softly, her eyes slightly warm.
She took out her phone, her finger hovered over Tan Haoyu's name for a moment, and then finally put it down.
"I can't call him... I can't let him see me so vulnerable." She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
Zhu Ziqing clenched her fists, silently vowing, "I can't always rely on him to solve problems. I need to prove myself, prove that I'm good enough, and that I can't be defeated by just a few words from others."
Zhu Ziqing stood by the roadside, watching the passing vehicles, her thoughts wandering. She thought about her background, Tan Haoyu's identity, and the little life inside her.
"No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, I will persevere and keep going," she told herself silently.
After her emotions gradually calmed down, she hailed a taxi and said, "Driver, to the studio."
As soon as Li Siqi entered the studio, she noticed that something was wrong with Zhu Ziqing.
"Ziqing, what's wrong? You look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?" Li Siqi walked over quickly and asked with concern.
Zhu Ziqing forced a smile. "It's nothing, I probably just didn't sleep well last night."
Li Siqi didn't believe her. She reached out and touched her hand, exclaiming, "Why are your hands so cold? What happened?"
Zhu Ziqing finally couldn't hold back any longer and told Li Siqi everything that had happened that day.
"Siqi, I just want to live a good life with Haoyu, but they say my background is not good enough for him..." Her voice was a little choked up, but her eyes remained firm.
"I don't care what others think, I just want to protect my happiness."
Li Siqi patted her shoulder, her tone firm, "Ziqing, listen to me, you are better than anyone else. Don't let those people's words affect you, keep working hard and prove them wrong!"
Zhu Ziqing nodded, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. "You're right, happiness needs to be fought for and protected. I won't give up because of any obstacles."
“I believe in Haoyu. He has never looked down on me and has always supported me.”
