My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 191 Settling Accounts After the Autumn Harvest

After Zhu Ziqing finished shouting, she turned to look at Tan Haoyu, her eyes full of anticipation: "How was it? Did I shout pretty well?"

Tan Haoyu nodded, a smile in his eyes: "Very good, very impressive."

Zhu Ziqing proudly raised her chin, then took a deep breath and continued shouting, "Tan Haoyu! I promise you, I will always be by your side! I will protect you and make you happy! No one will be allowed to bully you!"

Tan Haoyu was startled when he heard these words.

"Protect me?" he repeated softly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always been the one taking care of others, and he never imagined that one day someone would say to him, "I will protect you."

He looked at Zhu Ziqing, whose figure appeared exceptionally slender in the moonlight, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

Yet this seemingly frail woman gave him an unprecedented sense of warmth and strength.

Zhu Ziqing didn't notice Tan Haoyu's emotional change. She faced the sea again and shouted, "Tan Haoyu! I want to have many, many children with you! We will always be together!"

Her voice drifted on the sea breeze, carrying endless affection.

Tan Haoyu listened quietly, a feeling of indescribable emotion welling up in his heart.

He stepped forward, gently took Zhu Ziqing's hand, and whispered, "Okay, we'll always be together."

Zhu Ziqing turned her head, her eyes filled with happiness.

She leaned on Tan Haoyu's shoulder and whispered, "Haoyu, thank you for giving me such a wonderful life."

Tan Haoyu put his arm around her shoulder, looked into the distance, and said firmly, "I'm the one who should say thank you. Because of you, my world is complete."

The waves continued to crash against the rocks, as if providing accompaniment to their vows.

Tan Haoyu stood by the sea, his gaze tenderly falling on Zhu Ziqing, softly calling her name in his heart.

"Ziqing..." His voice was so low it was almost inaudible, yet it was full of deep affection.

Zhu Ziqing suddenly turned her head, a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Haoyu, do you think my mother can hear me calling?"

Tan Haoyu smiled slightly, his tone firm: "Yes, she can definitely hear you."

A bright smile bloomed on Zhu Ziqing's face. She ran towards Tan Haoyu like a cheerful little bird and threw herself into his arms.

"Haoyu, we'll be happy like this forever, right?" She looked up, her eyes full of expectation.

Tan Haoyu looked down at her and answered briefly and firmly, "Yes."

Zhu Ziqing blinked and muttered, feigning displeasure, "You're still so stingy with words."

But she quickly laughed again and hugged him tightly: "But I just love you just the way you are."

A smile flashed in Tan Haoyu's eyes. He gently stroked her hair and suddenly pulled her closer.

"Ziqing, I don't want to go back." His voice was low and hoarse, with an undisguised longing in his heart.

Zhu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Tan Haoyu had already lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The kiss was more ferocious than ever before, as if it wanted to devour her whole.

His hands roamed over her back, their heat causing Zhu Ziqing to tremble involuntarily.

"Haoyu...don't do it here...it's not good if someone sees us." Zhu Ziqing grabbed his hand nervously, her voice tinged with panic.

Tan Haoyu didn't answer, but instead picked her up and strode towards the villa.

Back in the room, Tan Haoyu gently placed Zhu Ziqing on the bed, then leaned over and pressed down on her.

His movements were urgent and passionate, giving her no time to process them.

Zhu Ziqing was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she felt a surge of joy.

This was the first time Tan Haoyu had so proactively expressed his desires, making her feel important to him.

After the passion subsided, Zhu Ziqing fell into a deep sleep, a satisfied smile on her face.

Tan Haoyu turned to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

He gently stroked her cheek and murmured, "Ziqing, what am I going to do with you..."

He didn't want to continue, afraid of hurting her, so he considerately stopped.

Tan Haoyu gazed at her affectionately and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch the tip of her nose.

"Um... Haoyu..." Zhu Ziqing suddenly called out his name in her dream, startling Tan Haoyu, who quickly withdrew his hand, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

He thought she was awake, so he quickly looked away and pretended to tidy the blankets.

However, Zhu Ziqing did not wake up; she simply turned over and continued to immerse herself in her dream.

Tan Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but then couldn't resist his curiosity again.

"Will she dream of me?" he murmured to himself, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Zhu Ziqing suddenly murmured, "Haoyu... I will try my best..."

Tan Haoyu paused for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "What are you trying to do?"

However, Zhu Ziqing did not speak again, but simply slept quietly with a sweet smile on her lips.

Tan Haoyu smiled helplessly, gently lay back down beside her, and pulled her into his arms.

"No matter what you strive for in your dreams, I will be with you," he whispered.

The night was quiet and somewhat oppressive. Soft moonlight shone through the window and fell on Zhu Ziqing's sleeping face.

Tan Haoyu sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at her quietly, his eyes full of tenderness and pity.

After a long while, once he was sure Zhu Ziqing had fallen into a sweet dream, he quietly got up. The tenderness on his face was instantly replaced by a cold sternness. He knew it was time to take the next step.

Tan Haoyu carefully rolled out of bed, trying not to make a sound, afraid of disturbing Zhu Ziqing. He tiptoed to the balcony, gently closed the balcony door, then took out his phone from his pocket, quickly found Liu Meili's number, and dialed it back without hesitation.

"Beep beep beep..." The phone rang clearly in the quiet night, and it was answered after only a few rings.

"Hello, Mr. Tan." Liu Meili's voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with respect.

Without any pleasantries, Tan Haoyu asked directly, "Meili, what brings you here so late?"

Liu Meili cleared her throat and quickly said, "President Tan, it's like this, I have submitted the relevant information for that person surnamed Xu as you instructed. Now, the Wan family has begun to be investigated."

Tan Haoyu narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing in them. He asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation?"

Liu Meili paused for a moment, then continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, Wan Shixiong will be arrested after the Spring Festival. At that time, the Wan family will be completely ruined."

"If nothing unexpected happens?" Tan Haoyu's tone suddenly turned icy. "What I want is a definite result, not an ambiguous answer."
