My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 227 Quick, touch your tummy, the baby is moving!

Zhu Ziqing forced a smile and made an excuse: "I'm just a little tired. I want to take a shower and go to bed early."

She was actually afraid of Grandpa Tan, but she didn't want Tan Haoyu to worry, so she didn't say it out loud.

Zhu Ziqing rested in her room for a while, and just then, she suddenly let out a soft cry.

"Qing'er, what's wrong?" Tan Haoyu immediately became nervous, his eyes filled with worry.

Zhu Ziqing was overjoyed and quickly pulled Tan Haoyu's hand to her belly: "Haoyu, feel it, the baby is moving!"

Tan Haoyu touched Zhu Ziqing's belly and felt the slight movement. His face instantly lit up with surprise: "It's true, the baby is moving!" His voice was full of excitement.

Next, Tan Haoyu carefully placed his ear against Zhu Ziqing's belly and felt the fetal movement again.

He couldn't help but laugh, a bright and warm smile that seemed to light up the whole world.

Zhu Ziqing was immediately captivated by Tan Haoyu's smile, her gaze unable to look away. She said softly, "Haoyu, you look so handsome when you smile. Please smile more often like today, okay? I love seeing you smile."

Upon hearing this, Tan Haoyu's smile froze instantly. He awkwardly turned his head away, pretending not to have heard.

Seeing this, Zhu Ziqing smiled slyly and leaned closer to him, asking, "What, you don't want to agree?"

Tan Haoyu didn't answer, but instead picked up Zhu Ziqing and said, "Okay, you're tired, I'll carry you to take a bath."

After taking a shower, Zhu Ziqing lay on the bed, almost falling asleep.

Suddenly, she heard Tan Haoyu lower his voice and say in her ear, "Qing'er, as long as you and the child stay by my side, I will try to smile more."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile in her sleep.

……

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Ziqing's belly grew rounder and rounder, and her due date was getting closer and closer. She was looking forward to meeting her baby.

Because the elders of the Tan family, especially Grandpa Tan, are at home, Zhu Ziqing has rarely stepped out of her room recently.

Most of the time, she would stay on the balcony of her room, set up her easel, and use her paintbrush to depict the beauty in her heart.

The sun was shining brightly that day, its warmth bathing the balcony.

Zhu Ziqing was immersed in the world of painting when suddenly, her cell phone rang, breaking the tranquility. She picked up her phone and saw that it was Li Siqi calling.

"Hey, Siqi, why did you suddenly think of calling me?" Zhu Ziqing asked with a smile.

"Qing'er, I have great news for you!" Li Siqi's voice was filled with excitement, "The Mrs. Liu who designed your wedding dress has introduced you to a new customer, and she specifically asked you to design her wedding dress!"

"Really? That's great!" Zhu Ziqing perked up immediately. "Siqi, quickly send the client's requirements to my email. I'd love to take this job!"

“But…” Li Siqi hesitated for a moment, “Your due date is coming soon, and I’m afraid that if you take on a job, Tan Haoyu will be unhappy.”

"Don't worry, Siqi," Zhu Ziqing said nonchalantly. "Haoyu will definitely thank you. Work makes me happy, he'll be overjoyed."

"That's good." Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief, then excitedly added, "Qing'er, I have something else to tell you. Xiaodong and I are getting our marriage certificate soon!"

"Wow, congratulations, Siqi!" Zhu Ziqing was genuinely happy for her. "After you get your marriage certificate, you should have a child soon. That way, our two families' children can play together and keep each other company."

"Haha, you haven't even given birth yet, and you're already worrying about the future," Li Siqi teased with a laugh. "But your child will definitely have a special status in the future."

"What does status or position matter? In my eyes, he's my precious baby." Zhu Ziqing said earnestly, "Siqi, you'll be the child's aunt in the future, so you're not allowed to bully him."

"Of course not!" Li Siqi laughed. "By the way, how's your Xiaohua doing lately?"

"Don't even mention it." Zhu Ziqing smiled helplessly. "I took it out to play a couple of days ago, but I didn't bring it along, and the little guy got angry."

"How about I bring Xiaohua to my house and keep her for a few days?" Li Siqi suggested.

"Don't you dare! If Xiao Hua hears that, she'll immediately become wary. She just loves staying by my side." Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh as she thought of Xiao Hua's adorable appearance.

"Alright," Li Siqi said. "By the way, Qing'er, this order isn't urgent, so just arrange your submission time as you see fit. Don't overwork yourself."

"Thank you, Siqi," Zhu Ziqing said gratefully. "But this time I must finish the work ahead of schedule. I want to prove that even with a big belly, I can still earn money and do my designs well."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Ziqing couldn't wait to turn on her computer, log into her email, and check the client's requirements.

She hadn't worked for a long time due to her pregnancy and was feeling incredibly stifled. She secretly resolved to show everyone her work abilities.

On the other end of the phone, Li Siqi hung up the phone, feeling a mix of emotions.

She felt that Zhu Ziqing's greatest fortune was not meeting her, but meeting Tan Haoyu.

Although he was there for Zhu Ziqing during her most difficult time, it was Tan Haoyu who truly rescued her from the darkness and gave her a happy life.

Zhu Ziqing happily turned on her computer, ready to check the client's requirements for the wedding dress design order, and threw herself into her long-awaited work.

Just then, the door to the room was gently pushed open, and Tan Haoyu's tall figure appeared in the doorway.

Before Zhu Ziqing could react, Tan Haoyu had already walked up behind her, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head to place a deep kiss on her lips.

"Hmm... Haoyu, why are you suddenly like this?" Zhu Ziqing stared wide-eyed in surprise, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Tan Haoyu released her, put his hands on her shoulders, and said with a hint of helplessness and reluctance, "Qing'er, there's been an emergency at the company in the north. I have to go on a business trip and won't be back for at least a week."

"Oh, so suddenly." A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhu Ziqing's eyes, but she quickly composed herself. "I know work is important. Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."

Tan Haoyu gently touched Zhu Ziqing's belly, his eyes full of tenderness and affection: "The baby is about to be born, but I have to leave at this time. I really can't bear to part with him."

"Haoyu, there's still a month left, don't worry," Zhu Ziqing gently comforted him. "I'll take good care of myself and the baby. You need to be careful out there too."
