My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 73 My Best Friend Gave Me a Box of Condoms

Tan Haoyu drove his luxury car smoothly toward Li Siqi's residential area.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat somber.

Zhu Ziqing was eagerly anticipating getting home to end this awkward yet exciting night.

At this moment, Li Siqi, who was in the back seat, suddenly clutched her stomach, her brows furrowed, and said in a somewhat anxious voice, "Stop the car, stop the car quickly, my stomach is suddenly hurting badly, Zhu Ziqing, please go to the convenience store and buy me some medicine and hot water."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing became extremely anxious. She quickly turned to Tan Haoyu and told him to stop the car, then rushed towards the convenience store.

Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions and steadily stopped the car as instructed.

After Zhu Ziqing's figure disappeared behind the convenience store door.

Li Siqi straightened her back instantly, her expression serious, her eyes fixed on Tan Haoyu, showing no trace of her previous sickly appearance.

"Tan Haoyu, I'm telling you right now, so you'd better listen carefully."

Li Siqi crossed her arms, her eyes sharp enough to see right through people. "Zhu Ziqing is my best friend. I treat her like a sister. She may seem strong, but she's actually very sensitive inside. Since you're with her, you have to cherish her and not let her suffer even the slightest harm. If you dare to bully her, I won't let you off the hook!"

Tan Haoyu nodded slightly, his expression calm and composed, and replied, "Miss Siqi, rest assured, I will take good care of Qing'er."

Li Siqi snorted softly, as if remembering something, and a faint sneer appeared on her lips: "Hmph, don't think I don't know that you impersonated someone else to go on a blind date back then. Although you ended up with Zhu Ziqing by accident, it wasn't exactly a glorious thing. But as long as you treat her well in the future, I won't pursue the matter further."

Tan Haoyu's expression remained unchanged, and his politeness persisted: "Thank you for reminding me, Miss Siqi. It was my inappropriate behavior, and I will definitely not make the same mistake again in the future."

Li Siqi wasn't finished. She raised her voice and emphasized again, "Zhu Ziqing has been hurt a lot in relationships in the past. She's been schemed against and slandered by rumors. She's endured all those hardships. I'm telling you this today to warn you not to rub salt into her wounds. If you dare to betray her, I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

Tan Haoyu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing in them: "I have remembered Miss Siqi's kindness."

Zhu Ziqing hurriedly carried the medicine and hot water back to the car in a flurry.

Seeing that Li Siqi's expression was normal, his heart skipped a beat, and he sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions.

After Li Siqi got out of the car, she waved goodbye to the two of them.

Zhu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that she would no longer have to face those embarrassing scenes.

After we got back on the road, the car fell into a deathly silence.

Zhu Ziqing secretly glanced at Tan Haoyu, who was focused on driving beside her, and opened her mouth several times, but then stopped herself from speaking.

She was completely confused; Tan Haoyu's personality was just too unpredictable.

Sometimes she's so gentle it's almost overwhelming, but other times she's so aloof it seems to keep everyone at arm's length. She's truly a strange person.

The car slowly drove into the residential area.

After parking, the two walked into the house one after the other.

Zhu Ziqing had just changed her shoes and hadn't had time to turn on the light yet.

Tan Haoyu suddenly lunged forward and pinned her against the door.

Zhu Ziqing screamed instinctively, her eyes wide with terror.

But when she looked up, she met Tan Haoyu's burning, deep gaze.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she found herself inexplicably looking forward to his next move.

Tan Haoyu braced himself on either side of her, holding her tightly in his arms, his gaze fixed on her face.

After staring at her for a long time, he slowly asked, "Zhu Ziqing, do you want to be in a relationship?"

After saying that, he lowered his head slightly, as if to kiss her.

Zhu Ziqing's breath hitched, her mind went blank for a moment, and her body trembled slightly.

Although she was willing to play this "childish" game with him, she still had to maintain a certain level of composure on the surface.

She bit her lip and gently shook her head in denial.

When Tan Haoyu saw her shake her head, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He straightened up, casually putting his hands in his pockets, his expression returning to its usual aloofness: "Since you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I've been very busy with work lately and don't have time to indulge in romance. But don't worry, even so, I won't let you down."

Zhu Ziqing's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

Anger flared up instantly, and she was both angry and annoyed: What on earth is Tan Haoyu up to? Is he really that insensitive and doesn't understand her hints, or is he deliberately playing dumb?

Sometimes, a casual remark from him can warm my heart for a long time.

But this whole thing has left me both angry and amused. What a troublesome nemesis!

She glared angrily at Tan Haoyu, but had no way to retaliate, and was filled with helplessness.

As if sensing its owner's return, the puppy, Xiaohua, happily rushed out from the corner.

The fluffy little body kept wrapping around and jumping at Zhu Ziqing's feet.

She would occasionally let out a soft, coquettish "ooh" sound.

When Zhu Ziqing saw Xiaohua's adorable appearance, a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face.

She bent down and gently rubbed its head, saying softly, "Little dog, I'm back. See if I brought you anything delicious."

The tone was so gentle, as if the speaker were coaxing their own child.

Watching this scene, Tan Haoyu couldn't help but smile, a doting expression on his face.

The atmosphere inside the room was extremely relaxed and pleasant.

Zhu Ziqing straightened up and glanced at the gift Li Siqi had given her on the table.

Then I remembered there was still a "mystery package" that I hadn't opened.

Full of curiosity, she reached out and took the gift box, carefully unwrapping it.

As the wrapping paper was peeled away little by little, the contents gradually came into view.

When Zhu Ziqing saw the box of condoms, her eyes widened instantly.

The shock on her face was instantly replaced by embarrassment, and her cheeks flushed bright red, like ripe tomatoes.

"This... Siqi is being too reckless!" Zhu Ziqing thought to herself, feeling miserable.

She frantically tried to stuff the things back, secretly praying that Tan Haoyu wouldn't see this embarrassing thing.

But what I feared most came to pass.

Just then, Tan Haoyu's deep, sexy voice sounded softly behind her: "What are you looking at so intently?"

Zhu Ziqing's body stiffened abruptly, and her heart nearly jumped out of her throat.

In the panic, my hand trembled and I almost knocked the entire gift box to the ground.

She turned her head, her eyes darting around, and stammered, "N-nothing, it's just a little trinket that Siqi gave me."

Tan Haoyu raised an eyebrow slightly and walked closer with steady steps.

His gaze fell on the box of condoms, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

He then looked up at Zhu Ziqing and said softly, "If you want to be in a relationship, I will make time for you no matter how busy I am."
