My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 10 I'm not a picky eater!

After getting off work, Zhu Ziqing remembered that Tan Haoyu had been hungry last time, so she decided to go home quickly to prepare dinner.

She arrived at the supermarket and began selecting from the dazzling array of ingredients.

After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and called Tan Haoyu.

At this moment, Tan Haoyu was having a meeting with his assistants Yang Piaoliang and Liu Meili in the conference room.

The conference table was piled high with documents, and the atmosphere was serious and tense.

Suddenly, Tan Haoyu's phone rang.

He saw that it was Zhu Ziqing calling, frowned slightly, but still answered the phone: "Hello?"

Zhu Ziqing's gentle voice came through the phone: "Are you busy? I'm buying groceries at the supermarket. Is there anything you particularly like to eat? I'd like to cook you a nice meal."

Tan Haoyu glanced at Yang Piaoliang and Liu Meili, who were focused on reporting their work, then stood up and walked to the window: "I'm not picky about food, just buy whatever you want."

Yang Piaoliang and Liu Meili exchanged a glance upon hearing this, their eyes filled with surprise.

Yang Piaoliang whispered to Liu Meili, "When did the president become less picky about food? He clearly hates carrots and cilantro, and he doesn't touch greasy food either."

Liu Meili nodded, looking at Tan Haoyu's back with an incredulous expression.

Tan Haoyu seemed to sense their gazes and turned around to glare at them.

The two quickly lowered their heads and continued working.

When Tan Haoyu returned home, he was greeted by the aroma of food as soon as he entered the door.

As he entered the restaurant, he saw Zhu Ziqing bustling between the kitchen and the dining room.

She was wearing a light blue apron, and her hair was casually tied into a ponytail.

A few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, making her look gentle and graceful, like a virtuous wife, adding warmth to the home.

"You're back! Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner," Zhu Ziqing said to Tan Haoyu with a smile.

Tan Haoyu nodded, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table.

Four dishes and a soup were laid out on the table, looking delicious and appealing.

There were stir-fried seasonal vegetables, steamed eggs with shrimp, steamed fish, and a plate of stir-fried pork with onions. The soup was yam and pork rib soup.

Based on her observations during lunch, Zhu Ziqing deduced that Tan Haoyu preferred light flavors, so she carefully prepared these dishes.

Tan Haoyu frowned slightly when he saw the stir-fried pork with onions.

But he quickly controlled his expression, not wanting Zhu Ziqing to notice.

He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

Zhu Ziqing enthusiastically placed a piece of onion on Tan Haoyu's plate: "Try this. The onions I bought today are very fresh. I think they taste pretty good."

Tan Haoyu forced a smile: "Okay."

He took the onion, put it in the bowl, but didn't eat it.

While Zhu Ziqing turned around to get a soup spoon, he discreetly placed the onion on a napkin.

Zhu Ziqing brought over the soup, unaware of Tan Haoyu's little trick: "The soup is delicious today too, you should try it."

She served Tan Haoyu a bowl of soup.

Tan Haoyu took the soup: "Yes, you've worked hard."

The entire dinner took place in this somewhat quiet atmosphere.

The two exchanged a few words occasionally, but it was always lukewarm and uninteresting. (The meal...)

Afterwards, Zhu Ziqing quietly cleared away the dishes, while Tan Haoyu sat on the sofa reading a book.

Zhu Ziqing returned to her room, turned on her computer, and prepared to review the MiYou project proposal again.

With the bidding date fast approaching, she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

She was staring intently at the computer screen.

Just then, my phone rang. It was my best friend, Li Siqi, calling.

"Hello, Siqi." Zhu Ziqing answered the phone.

"Zhu Ziqing, why didn't you tell me you moved?"

"Do you know how worried I was about you? Did something happen to you?" Li Siqi's voice was full of concern and dissatisfaction.

Zhu Ziqing felt a little guilty: "Siqi, I'm sorry, I've been really busy lately."

The company had a big project, and I was so busy every day that I completely forgot about it.

Li Siqi sighed: "You're always like this. I'm really worried about you being all alone in Pengcheng."

We came here together because you've been through so much, and I didn't want to leave you alone.

I took time off work to come and be with you, but I won't go back to my hometown until you've settled down. You can't keep keeping everything from me like this.

Zhu Ziqing felt a warmth in her heart: "Siqi, I know you're doing this for my own good."

I'm really fine, I'm just too busy with work.

Don't worry, we'll have a good get-together after this project is finished.

Li Siqi was still worried: "Are you really okay? Then tell me, how are you doing now?"

How's work? Also, have you met any new people?

Zhu Ziqing hesitated for a moment: "I'm living quite well, and my work is going smoothly. There are new people... but it's complicated. I'll tell you the details when I have time."

Li Siqi noticed Zhu Ziqing's hesitation: "Okay, if you're unhappy about anything, you must tell me. No matter what, I'll always be there for you."

"Yes, I know, thank you, Siqi," Zhu Ziqing said, touched.

Li Siqi said to Zhu Ziqing, "Ziqing, let's open a wedding dress design studio here! It'll definitely work."

Zhu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, then gently bit her lip: "Siqi, I... I might not be able to participate in the management of the studio. I have my own reasons; I'm already working at Feiyang Technology Company."

Li Siqi was a little surprised: "Why? Haven't you always loved design? And wouldn't it be great if we designed wedding dresses together?"

Zhu Ziqing's eyes dimmed: "I know, but I... I can't face painting right now. It's a wound that hasn't healed for me."

Li Siqi said, "But painting was your dream back then."

Zhu Ziqing quickly reassured her, "Siqi, don't worry, I'm fine now. Really, don't be anxious. Let's have dinner together this weekend and have a good talk then."
