Chapter 42 Don't be afraid, I'm here.
Zhu Ziqing turned her head and saw Tan Haoyu standing by the bar, leisurely drinking something.
A storm raged within her, and she instinctively clenched her fists, bit her lip, and her face turned pale.
She had no idea how much of her conversation with Wan Qingsha had been overheard by Tan Haoyu, and her heart was filled with worry and tension.
At this moment, Yang Piaoliang walked towards Zhu Ziqing carrying a cup of hot milk.
With a polite smile, she said, "Mrs. Tan, Mr. Tan asked me to bring this glass of milk. He has some things to discuss, so he asked me to come and let you know. Please wait for him for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing immediately understood Tan Haoyu's intention.
He was trying to get himself out of a predicament, not wanting to embarrass himself too much in front of Wan Qingsha.
She glanced gratefully at Tan Haoyu, who was talking to Liu Meili in the distance.
Seemingly sensing Zhu Ziqing's gaze, he turned his head slightly and nodded with a smile at her.
A warm feeling welled up in Zhu Ziqing's heart, and her tense emotions gradually calmed down.
She knew that no matter what happened, Tan Haoyu would be there to support her.
Tan Haoyu's calm and confident smile seemed to possess a magical power.
With just a glance, Zhu Ziqing felt the tense atmosphere in her heart begin to slowly dissipate.
She slowly loosened her fist, and her previously tense expression gradually returned to normal.
A sense of peace flowed through my heart like a gentle stream.
Wan Qingsha keenly noticed the change in Zhu Ziqing.
His face instantly darkened, and he stared intently at Zhu Ziqing, demanding, "Are you really married?"
Zhu Ziqing raised her head slightly, and involuntarily compared Wan Qingsha in front of her with Tan Haoyu.
Wan Qingsha certainly has a handsome face.
But Tan Haoyu's deep and bright eyes revealed a reserved and composed temperament.
Her every move exudes composure and wisdom, and her conduct is both gentle and firm, a stark contrast to Wan Qingsha's domineering and willful nature.
Thinking of all this, Zhu Ziqing felt a surge of gratitude, grateful for Wan Qingsha's refusal to marry her back then.
If it weren't for his letting go, how could I have met such an outstanding Tan Haoyu?
She looked directly into Wan Qingsha's eyes and calmly replied, "That's right, I'm already married. Please don't bother me anymore."
Wan Qingsha snorted coldly, her face full of disbelief: "Marriage? Do you think I would believe that? You're definitely acting, trying to make me angry on purpose."
Zhu Ziqing shook her head slightly, her tone indifferent: "I don't need to explain to you, believe it or not."
Wan Qingsha's eyes widened in anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He pointed at Zhu Ziqing, angrily accusing her, "Zhu Ziqing, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you think you can get rid of me by just marrying someone? If you dare to marry someone else, I will never let you off the hook, and you'll face the consequences!"
Zhu Ziqing retorted without fear: "Wan Qingsha, you have no right to interfere in my life. Don't forget the disgusting things you did to me. I'm doing very well now and don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
Zhu Ziqing stepped forward and warned Wan Qingsha, "Also, if you want revenge or want to do something bad, come at me. Don't try to hurt Tan Haoyu. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."
Wan Qingsha sneered disdainfully and said provocatively, "Oh? Tan Haoyu? I'd like to see what he's capable of, to snatch you away from me."
Just then, Tan Haoyu slowly walked towards Zhu Ziqing.
He walked up to Zhu Ziqing at the right moment, his gaze falling gently on her, and softly called out, "Ziqing."
The voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had a calming power.
Zhu Ziqing trembled slightly upon hearing the voice.
She instinctively turned to the side, trying to use her body to block Wan Qingsha's gaze from Tan Haoyu, as if this would protect Tan Haoyu from harm.
Tan Haoyu seemed to sense Zhu Ziqing's worries.
He reached out and gently pulled Zhu Ziqing towards him.
He gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead with his fingers and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Those gentle movements and doting eyes instantly dispelled Zhu Ziqing's unease, replacing it with a feeling of complete peace and happiness.
Throughout the entire process, Tan Haoyu did not glance at Wan Qingsha once, as if he were invisible.
Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing with deep affection, his eyes filled with love and tenderness.
He smiled and invited, "Let's go, I'll cook you something delicious tonight."
Zhu Ziqing looked at Tan Haoyu with eyes full of tenderness.
She nodded gently, then took Tan Haoyu's hand and gracefully left the coffee shop.
As Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu left, the tense atmosphere in the coffee shop gradually dissipated.
Only Wan Qingsha remained sitting there, looking like a chicken standing there in a daze.
Wan Qingsha watched helplessly as Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu left hand in hand, oblivious to everyone else.
His heart felt as if it were being scorched by a raging fire, and his resentment overwhelmed him like a surging tide.
In that instant, he felt a sense of frustration he had never experienced before.
This feeling severely impacted his self-esteem.
He couldn't help but question himself: Am I really going to lose her like this?
Wan Qingsha's face was ashen, her eyes burning with anger and resentment.
His fist slammed firmly on the table, as if he were making a silent vow that he would never let the matter rest.
Suddenly, he grabbed the coffee cup in front of him and smashed it hard on the ground.
With a "crash," the coffee cup shattered instantly, spilling coffee everywhere.
The loud noise instantly drew the attention of those around.
Wan Qingsha slowly raised her head, her eyes revealing a cold and fierce look.
He slowly scanned the surrounding crowd, his gaze seemingly carrying a tangible chill.
The crowd was terrified by his terrifying gaze and lowered their heads, avoiding his eyes.
Wan Qingsha took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
Then I took out my phone and dialed a number.
He coldly ordered into the phone, "Find out whether Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu are married or not. I need to know everything about them, the sooner the better!"
