My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 46 Don't be too smug.

The two arrived at the store's cashier.

Tan Haoyu looked at the cashier and said calmly, "Wrap up both of these silver ornaments."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing hurriedly tried to stop her.

She whispered, "Haoyu, no need, it's too expensive."

Tan Haoyu ignored her words and insisted that the waiter wrap up the silver jewelry.

Zhu Ziqing sighed helplessly.

She knew that if she insisted on refusing at this point, Tan Haoyu might think she was petty.

So she gritted her teeth, took out her card from her bag, and swiped it to pay for the two expensive silver ornaments.

At the moment she swiped her card, her heart ached slightly.

After all, this is a considerable expense, equivalent to two months' salary for her.

But looking at Tan Haoyu's gentle smile, she felt that it was all worth it.

Tan Haoyu stood to the side, holding the silver jewelry, quietly watching Zhu Ziqing swipe her card to pay.

She was used to having her assistants Yang Piaoliang and Liu Meili handle all her affairs on a daily basis.

They rarely carry cash or bank cards.

Moreover, he had already handed over his supplementary credit card and salary card to Zhu Ziqing.

At that moment, his gaze inadvertently swept over.

Only then did he realize that what Zhu Ziqing was holding was her own card, not the supplementary credit card and salary card that he had given her for household use.

Zhu Ziqing was completely focused on operating the card reader.

She was preoccupied with the expensive silver jewelry, which made her heart ache, as it was almost equivalent to two months' salary.

But she felt it was all worth it to choose a suitable gift for Tan Haoyu.

She was completely unaware of Tan Haoyu's slightly furrowed brows and the fleeting displeasure in his eyes.

After paying, Zhu Ziqing left the cashier with Tan Haoyu.

Her heart was still aching from that large expense, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This is really a huge financial drain."

As she spoke, she habitually hooked her arm around Tan Haoyu's and looked up curiously, asking, "Haoyu, do you know that shop assistant from earlier? The way she looked at us seemed a little strange."

Tan Haoyu shook his head slightly and answered calmly, "I don't know him."

Meanwhile, Ma Dongmei, who was standing to the side, saw all of this.

Seeing Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu's intimate interaction, a burning flame of jealousy raged in her heart.

She stared intently at the two figures as they walked away, her gaze filled with boundless hatred.

The store manager witnessed Ma Dongmei's outburst and couldn't help but gently remind her, "Ma Dongmei, you need to be mindful of your professional conduct and not bring your personal emotions into your work."

Hearing the store manager's words, Ma Dongmei became even angrier.

She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Hmph, Zhu Ziqing, don't be so smug for long. I will definitely not let you get away with this."

Stepping out of the silver jewelry store, I entered the bustling street.

Tan Haoyu suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Zhu Ziqing, his eyes filled with a hint of questioning: "Ziqing, why didn't you swipe the card I gave you?"

Zhu Ziqing was slightly taken aback and replied with some confusion, "This is a gift for you. I feel that it shows sincerity to buy it with my own money."

Tan Haoyu looked at her and then understood, his eyes gradually softening.

He slowly began to explain, "Ziqing, do you know why I care about this? I gave you that card hoping you could have an easier life and not have to worry about these things. I really care about you and your life."

Hearing Tan Haoyu's words, Zhu Ziqing felt a warm current welling up in her heart. She nodded gently and said, "Haoyu, I understand. You are so good to me."

Tan Haoyu smiled with satisfaction when he saw that Zhu Ziqing understood his intentions.

He suddenly stepped forward and, in front of passersby, kissed Zhu Ziqing tenderly.

Zhu Ziqing blushed deeply at this sudden action.

She instinctively tried to push Tan Haoyu away, but Tan Haoyu was extremely strong.

Instead of letting go, he held her tightly in his arms, their bodies pressed close together.

Zhu Ziqing was both surprised and embarrassed. She wondered to herself, "What's wrong with Haoyu lately? Why has he become so bold?"

However, Tan Haoyu's tender and affectionate kiss continued.

Zhu Ziqing gradually calmed down her nervousness and doubts.

She slowly closed her eyes, beginning to adjust to Tan Haoyu's intimate gestures.

On this bustling street, their hearts seemed to draw closer, and their time together became more natural and sweet.

Tan Haoyu slightly raised the exquisite silver ornament in his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Consider this your thank-you gift."

After saying that, he gently shook the silver ornament and elegantly tied the other one to Zhu Ziqing's hand.

Zhu Ziqing instinctively wanted to refuse, but hurriedly said, "No, this is what I should give you."

Tan Haoyu smiled and said, "These are matching silver jewelry pieces for couples. I'm wearing one. If you don't want it, who should I give the other one to?"

Zhu Ziqing listened and agreed with Tan Haoyu's reasoning, so she let Tan Haoyu tie it on for her.

However, when Zhu Ziqing raised her head, she felt two sharp, piercing gazes fixed on her from afar.

It turned out to be Ma Dongmei, even though Zhu Ziqing had already left the shop.

Her gaze, filled with jealousy and hatred, remained fixed on Zhu Ziqing.

Zhu Ziqing's heart stirred slightly.

She decided to ignore Ma Dongmei's annoying gaze and instead focus her attention on Tan Haoyu beside her.

She moved slightly closer to Tan Haoyu, a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

Tan Haoyu felt Zhu Ziqing's closeness and was filled with joy.

He asked softly, "What are your plans next?"

Zhu Ziqing pouted slightly and said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm not very familiar with Pengcheng, and I don't even know where to go."

Tan Haoyu pondered for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "I know a really nice resort. We can go there to relax on weekends in the future."

Zhu Ziqing gently shook her head: "Let's check on the work situation first, and talk about it when we have time."

Just as the two were discussing...

Tan Haoyu's personal cell phone suddenly rang urgently, the ringtone sounding particularly jarring in the moment of silence.

Tan Haoyu frowned, picked up his phone to answer, and his expression became serious.

He turned to look at Zhu Ziqing and said apologetically, "Ziqing, I have some urgent business to attend to."

Although Zhu Ziqing felt a little disappointed, she still nodded understandingly: "You go ahead and do your thing, I understand."

Tan Haoyu continued, "I'll have Liu Meili arrange a car to take you home. Also, I probably won't be going home tonight."

His gaze turned serious, and his tone carried an undeniable warning, "Also, you absolutely must never see Wan Qingsha again, understand?"

After saying that, he quickly dialed Liu Meili's number, gave her a few brief instructions, and then hurriedly left.
