Chapter 167 You don't actually like men, do you?
Tan Xiaoxuan stretched out her soft, boneless little hand and groped around on Tan Haoyu's back.
"Brother, have you been too free lately?" She tilted her head, her tone teasing. "Why are you always the one coming to see me? Don't you have any time for your girlfriend?"
Tan Haoyu paused, then continued walking forward, his voice low and deep: "Enough with the nonsense."
Tan Xiaoxuan pouted and gently poked his back with her finger. "You're almost twenty-nine. If you don't find a girlfriend soon, who will dare to marry you? I don't want you to grow old alone."
She paused, her eyes darting around, her tone tinged with a hint of probing, "Brother, you wouldn't... have something wrong, would you? Everyone says you're a womanizer, but when women come knocking on your door, you don't even bother to see them. What kind of woman do you actually like?"
Tan Haoyu remained silent, simply carrying her on his back as he continued walking forward.
Tan Xiaoxuan sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness, "Grandpa is almost eighty, and he keeps talking about wanting to hold his great-grandson. Can't you think about this for the sake of the Tan family?"
Seeing that Tan Haoyu remained silent, Tan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but speak again, "Brother, what kind of woman do you like? I know plenty of them—pure, sexy, intellectual… Just name your name, and I guarantee I'll find you one you're 100% satisfied with!"
She proudly raised her chin. "Although they can't compare to me, you can't be too picky, right?"
Tan Haoyu still didn't respond, and Tan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Brother, don't stay silent! Grandpa's been waiting for this every day, can't you be a little understanding of how the old man feels?"
Tan Xiaoxuan said a lot, but Tan Haoyu remained silent, simply carrying her on his back and continuing to walk forward.
Her eyes darted around, and a sly smile suddenly flashed across her face. "Brother, you wouldn't...like men, would you?"
The words had barely left his mouth when Tan Haoyu abruptly stopped, followed by a low, sinister shout: "Tan Xiaoxuan!"
Tan Xiaoxuan was startled, but quickly smiled smugly, "Oh, so you're finally willing to speak? Looks like I guessed right?"
Tan Haoyu's voice was as cold as ice, "Have you forgotten what etiquette you learned?"
Tan Xiaoxuan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart pounded with unease. Had she stepped on Tan Haoyu's landmine?
She spoke cautiously, "Brother, I... I was just joking, please don't be angry."
Tan Haoyu did not respond, but continued walking forward, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
Tan Xiaoxuan felt uneasy. Had she said something wrong? If Tan Haoyu really liked men, and she had unintentionally revealed it, would he scold her severely?
To ease the tension, Tan Xiaoxuan quickly said, "Brother, don't worry, I don't know anything! Even if I did, I wouldn't say anything."
After she finished speaking, she clearly felt Tan Haoyu's back stiffen slightly.
Tan Xiaoxuan's heart tightened. Oh no, had she said something wrong again?
Tan Haoyu's voice remained icy, "Tan Xiaoxuan, you're getting more and more ridiculous."
Tan Xiaoxuan stuck out her tongue, feeling a little smug inside. Although Tan Haoyu appeared cold on the surface, she knew that he actually cared about her a lot.
"Brother, don't be angry. I won't say such things again." She spoke softly, her tone slightly coquettish.
Tan Haoyu didn't say anything more, but just carried her on his back and continued walking forward, though his pace was much slower than before.
Tan Xiaoxuan leaned against his back, a slight smile playing on her lips. She knew that although Tan Haoyu appeared cold on the surface, he was actually very soft-hearted. And she was the one who could soften his heart.
After seeing Tan Haoyu's reaction, Tan Xiaoxuan became even more certain of her guess—Tan Haoyu liked men.
She frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes. "Brother, if you really don't like women, won't the Tan family bloodline be cut off?"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, but quickly comforted herself, "But it's no wonder, who told me to be so beautiful? You see me every day, it's normal that you don't look at other women, right?"
She muttered to herself, a slight smile playing on her lips, seemingly quite confident in her beauty.
Tan Haoyu was slightly startled when he heard Tan Xiaoxuan's first words.
He then realized that he had never told his family about his marriage to Zhu Ziqing, which explained why Tan Xiaoxuan had misunderstood.
He frowned, secretly deciding, "It seems I need to find an opportunity to take her back to see Zhu Ziqing, and also to give the old man a heads-up."
Thinking of this, he glanced at Tan Xiaoxuan and said in a calm tone, "Come home with me before the Spring Festival."
Tan Xiaoxuan was taken aback. "Going home? Why are you suddenly going back?"
Tan Haoyu didn't explain, but simply said, "You'll find out when the time comes."
Seeing that Tan Haoyu didn't answer, Tan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but tease him again, "Brother, you wouldn't be taking me back to appease Grandpa because you can't find a girlfriend, would you?"
She blinked, a hint of mockery in her voice, "No wonder you'll be single your whole life; you can only like men."
Tan Haoyu's face darkened, and he gave her a cold look. "Shut up."
After saying that, he shoved her into the car, his movements swift and decisive, giving her no chance to resist.
Tan Xiaoxuan was shoved into the car and couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you being so fierce? I'm just stating the facts."
Seeing Tan Haoyu's gloomy face, Tan Xiaoxuan felt a little guilty and dared not speak again.
She shrank back, thinking to herself, "Oh no, is he really angry? What if he kidnaps me and takes me back to America in a fit of rage? What am I going to do then?"
Just then, Tan Haoyu got into the car and instructed the driver, Lao Zheng, "Go back to Xinghe Shangcheng."
Old Zheng nodded and immediately started the car.
Tan Haoyu took out his phone again and dialed Zheng Xiaokun's number, "Ask Aunt Chen to make some hangover soup."
Hearing this, Tan Xiaoxuan felt a warmth in her heart. Although Tan Haoyu appeared cold on the surface, he still took meticulous care of her.
The car quickly arrived at Xinghe Shangcheng. Tan Haoyu carried Tan Xiaoxuan out of the car and went straight to Aunt Chen's room.
Aunt Chen lived next door to Tan Haoyu and Zhu Ziqing, which made it convenient for her to cook.
After receiving the call, Aunt Chen quickly went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of hangover soup.
Just as the soup was ready, Tan Haoyu brought Tan Xiaoxuan in.
Tan Haoyu placed Tan Xiaoxuan on the sofa, and Aunt Chen immediately brought over some hangover soup. "Miss, have some soup, it'll help you sober up."
Tan Xiaoxuan frowned as soon as she saw it was this soup. "I don't want to drink hangover soup!"
She crossed her arms, looking stubborn, clearly wanting to go against Tan Haoyu.
Tan Haoyu gave her a cold look. "You won't drink? Then I'll force you to drink."
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiaoxuan immediately pouted, feeling wronged, "You...you're bullying me!"
Tan Haoyu remained unmoved, simply saying, "You choose for yourself."
