My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 170 Getting Pregnant Isn't That Easy

Tan Haoyu raised an eyebrow, his tone calm yet undeniably firm: "It's not that I'm going to marry her, it's that I'm already married to her."

Tan Xiaoxuan's eyes widened, clearly shocked by the news.

"What? You're already married? Brother, why didn't you tell the family?" She pouted, her tone tinged with reproach.

Tan Haoyu responded casually, "I haven't had time to inform Grandpa yet. I'll tell him formally later."

Tan Xiaoxuan frowned and muttered under her breath, "If Grandpa finds out, he'll definitely be angry..."

Tan Haoyu didn't reply, but turned to look at Zhu Ziqing and said in a gentle tone, "Let's go eat first, Aunt Chen has already prepared it."

Zhu Ziqing nodded and followed them toward the restaurant.

At the dinner table, Tan Xiaoxuan changed from her earlier mischievousness and behaved exceptionally well-behaved and sensible.

Zhu Ziqing served her a bowl of soup, and Tan Xiaoxuan took the bowl and thanked her sweetly, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

After saying that, she deliberately raised an eyebrow at Tan Haoyu, as if to provoke him.

Seeing this, Tan Haoyu chuckled and took the initiative to pick up a soup spoon and serve Zhu Ziqing a bowl of soup as well.

"You should have some too, don't just focus on taking care of her." His voice was deep and gentle, his eyes filled with affection.

Zhu Ziqing took the bowl, exchanged a smile with him, and the atmosphere instantly became warm.

Just then, Aunt Chen came over with a plate of braised pork and said to Tan Xiaoxuan with a smile, "Miss, this is your favorite. I made it especially for you."

Tan Xiaoxuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up and gave Aunt Chen a big hug: "Aunt Chen, you're the best!"

Her liveliness and enthusiasm filled the entire restaurant with laughter.

Zhu Ziqing felt a surge of warmth in her heart as she watched this scene.

She turned to look at Tan Haoyu and found that he and Tan Xiaoxuan were eating silently without saying a word.

If you didn't know their family's customs, you might really mistakenly think they didn't welcome her.

Later she realized that the Tan family motto was "Do not speak while eating or sleeping".

At that moment, Zhu Ziqing suddenly felt that she seemed to be one step closer to this family.

Although she hasn't fully integrated yet, at least she has already felt the warmth of family.

Tan Xiaoxuan sat at the dining table, though she had a lot to say, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

She knew that Tan Haoyu hated noise during meals, and if she upset him, she would inevitably get a lecture.

After the meal, her eyes lit up, and she moved closer to Tan Haoyu, saying with a grin, "Brother, I want to stay and keep my sister-in-law company, okay?"

Tan Haoyu frowned, his tone cold: "You're staying? I'm afraid you'll cause trouble."

Tan Xiaoxuan immediately pouted and looked at Zhu Ziqing with a wronged expression: "Sister-in-law, look at my brother, he doesn't trust me at all!"

Zhu Ziqing was amused by her and gently tugged at Tan Haoyu's sleeve, saying softly, "Let her stay. I'm quite bored at home alone."

Tan Haoyu looked down at Zhu Ziqing, his gaze softening slightly, but his tone remained serious: "Her leg injury hasn't healed yet, she can't run around."

Zhu Ziqing nodded and assured her with a smile, "I'll keep an eye on her, don't worry."

Tan Haoyu was silent for a moment before finally agreeing reluctantly: "Okay, but don't let her cause trouble."

Tan Xiaoxuan immediately cheered and hugged Zhu Ziqing's arm: "Sister-in-law is the best!"

She glanced at Tan Haoyu and was surprised to find him looking at Zhu Ziqing with a complicated expression.

She had never seen her brother be so gentle with anyone; even towards his family, he was always cold and indifferent.

Tan Xiaoxuan thought to herself, this sister-in-law is indeed extraordinary.

She had seen too many women who wanted to get close to Tan Haoyu; they were all either pretentious or noisy.

But Zhu Ziqing was different. She was quiet and gentle, and she could attract Tan Haoyu's attention without even having to put on a show.

"Sister-in-law, how did you and my brother meet?" Tan Xiaoxuan asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

Zhu Ziqing smiled and was about to answer when Tan Haoyu suddenly stood up and interrupted her, saying, "It's getting late, I should go out."

Zhu Ziqing also got up and followed him back to the room, helping him tie his tie.

Tan Haoyu looked down at her, then suddenly kissed her cheek lightly and whispered, "Call me if anything happens. Don't be stubborn."

Zhu Ziqing blushed, but forced a relaxed smile and said, "What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry."

Tan Haoyu frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with her answer, but said nothing more and turned to leave the room.

As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back, and warned Tan Xiaoxuan, "Don't talk nonsense, understand?"

Tan Xiaoxuan stuck out her tongue and nodded with a grin: "Okay, brother!"

Tan Haoyu's sudden anger left Zhu Ziqing somewhat bewildered.

She watched his retreating figure, feeling a vague unease in her heart, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

Before she could react, Tan Xiaoxuan had already moved closer to her and said mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, my brother really treats you very specially!"

Zhu Ziqing smiled but didn't reply, though a sweet feeling welled up inside her.

Perhaps, this family will truly become different because of her.

As soon as Tan Haoyu left, Tan Xiaoxuan seemed to have been unleashed, and her whole demeanor became lively.

She skipped and hopped into the living room, saw the little dog Xiaohua in the corner, her eyes lit up, and she squatted down to try to play with it.

"Little Flower, come here!" she called out with a smile, reaching out her hand.

But Xiao Hua took two steps back warily, wagged her tail, but showed no intention of getting closer.

Seeing this, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh. She walked over, gently picked up Xiaohua, and handed her to Tan Xiaoxuan: "Don't be afraid, this is your aunt, she's not a bad person."

Tan Xiaoxuan took Xiaohua from her, gently stroked its head, and muttered, "Xiaohua, why are you so timid?"

She suddenly looked up, her gaze falling on Zhu Ziqing's stomach. She blinked and asked mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"

Zhu Ziqing was taken aback, then shook her head, both amused and exasperated: "No, why would you think that?"

Tan Xiaoxuan pursed her lips and said seriously, "Seeing how close you and Xiaohua are, I thought you got it to learn about childcare."

Zhu Ziqing smiled helplessly: "You're overthinking it. Haoyu and I... have only had one intimate encounter. It's not that easy for me to get pregnant."

Tan Xiaoxuan sighed upon hearing this, her tone tinged with regret: "Our Tan family is small, and I was hoping that you and my brother would have more children to keep me company."

Zhu Ziqing blushed and awkwardly changed the subject: "By the way, Xiaoxuan, how's your filming going lately?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Xiaoxuan immediately perked up: "Filming has already wrapped up! That's why I came to visit you guys."

She leaned closer to Zhu Ziqing and said with a grin, "Sister-in-law, are you familiar with Pengcheng? Could you show me around? My brother will reimburse the expenses!"
