My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 200 Congratulations, you're pregnant!

As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhu Ziqing regretted them.

Looking into Tan Haoyu's hurt eyes, she felt a pang of guilt. She slowly stood up, walked to Tan Haoyu, and gently hugged him, her voice choked with emotion: "Haoyu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just too upset."

Tan Haoyu gently patted Zhu Ziqing's back and said tenderly, "Silly girl, how could I be angry with you? If you have anything bothering you, tell me. You'll feel better if you talk about it."

Zhu Ziqing leaned against Tan Haoyu's chest, feeling his warmth and acceptance, and the grievances in her heart gradually dissipated.

After a while, she let go of Tan Haoyu, looked up, and smiled, saying, "Haoyu, I'm fine now. I still need to continue working."

Tan Haoyu nodded, turned and left the study, leaving Zhu Ziqing to continue working alone.

However, before long, Zhu Ziqing's thoughts drifted away again.

A cute little baby seemed to appear before her eyes, as handsome as Tan Haoyu, calling her "Mommy" in a sweet, childlike voice. A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips as she immersed herself in this beautiful fantasy.

"Woof woof woof!" Little Flower's barking suddenly shattered Zhu Ziqing's reverie. She then realized she had neglected Little Flower for a long time. Zhu Ziqing picked up Little Flower, gently stroked its head, and said with a smile, "Little Flower, I'm sorry, I forgot about you. Tell me, if I really had a baby, would you be jealous?"

Little Flower seemed to understand her, wagging its tail and barking twice. Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh and continued, "I really want a baby! Let's have another one sometime, okay?"

This night felt exceptionally long for Zhu Ziqing. She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, eagerly awaiting the test results at dawn.

Finally, dawn broke. Sunlight streamed through the window and into the room.

Tan Haoyu stood by the window reading the newspaper as usual. While Tan Haoyu wasn't paying attention, Zhu Ziqing quietly picked up the pregnancy test and tiptoed into the bathroom.

She closed the door, took a deep breath, and took out a pregnancy test. Time seemed to stand still at that moment; every second felt incredibly long. Finally, she saw two clear red lines appear on the test.

"I'm pregnant! I'm really pregnant!" Zhu Ziqing jumped up excitedly, tears of joy glistening in her eyes. She clutched the pregnancy test tightly, her heart filled with happiness and anticipation.

Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, Zhu Ziqing gripped the pregnancy test stick tightly in her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Her heart was pounding, as if it would leap out of her chest. Two clear red lines came into view, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Really... pregnant?" she murmured softly, her voice filled with an incredulous excitement.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Although the pregnancy test result was already clear, she still decided to go to the hospital for a full check-up to make sure everything was alright.

"Ziqing, let me take you there." Tan Haoyu's voice came from the other end of the phone, gentle and concerned.

"No need, I can go by myself." Zhu Ziqing refused softly, but her heart was filled with complicated feelings. She hadn't figured out how to tell him the news yet, and she didn't want him to be distracted by this.

In the hospital corridor, Zhu Ziqing sat on a waiting chair, her hands clasped together, her fingertips icy cold. Time seemed to stretch on endlessly until the nurse called her name.

"Congratulations, you're pregnant." The doctor smiled and handed her the test results.

Zhu Ziqing took the report, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. Standing at the hospital entrance, she looked up at the clear blue sky and silently murmured, "Mom, can you see this? I'm going to be a mother..."

Just as Zhu Ziqing stepped out of the hospital, her phone suddenly rang. An unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

"Hello, is this Ms. Zhu Ziqing?" A strange man's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone respectful but leaving no room for refusal.

"Yes, that's me. And who are you?" Zhu Ziqing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I am Mr. Tan's assistant. He would like to see you. Would that be convenient for you?"

Zhu Ziqing's heart tightened. Tan Haoyu's grandfather? Why would he suddenly contact her?

"Siqi, I'll be at the studio later; I have something to take care of." Zhu Ziqing hung up the phone and hurriedly sent a message to Li Siqi.

She took a taxi to the agreed-upon location, but a vague unease lingered in her heart. What was the purpose of Old Master Tan's sudden request for a meeting?

Upon arriving at her destination, Zhu Ziqing was led into an elegant tea room. Pushing open the door, she saw a sprightly old man sitting upright at the tea table, looking at her with piercing eyes.

"Grandpa Tan..." Zhu Ziqing bowed slightly, but felt even more uneasy.

Grandpa Tan nodded, gesturing for her to sit down. His expression was serious, and his tone was calm yet carried an undeniable authority.

"Ms. Zhu, I invited you here today to talk to you about Haoyu." He said, gesturing for his assistant to hand him a document.

Zhu Ziqing took the document, opened the first page, and her expression changed instantly.

The document details her background investigation, from her birth to her family, and even her mother's past.

She was shocked at first, but quickly came to terms with it. For a wealthy family like the Tan family, premarital investigations were to be expected.

"Miss Zhu, please continue reading, especially the last few pages," came Old Master Tan's cold voice.

Zhu Ziqing's fingers trembled slightly as she turned to the last few pages of the document. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her face turned pale.

The documents revealed her mother's tragic experiences and her shameful birth background—she was born after her mother was raped.

"This... is impossible!" Zhu Ziqing slammed the file shut, her voice filled with anger and disbelief.

Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. She struggled to control her emotions, biting her lip to hold back her tears.

Old Master Tan sighed, his tone still calm, "Miss Zhu, the Tan family doesn't care about social status, but we value a clean background. Haoyu is the heir of the Tan family, and his marriage cannot be tainted in any way."

He paused, then continued, "I hope you can understand Haoyu and the Tan family."

Zhu Ziqing raised her head, looking firmly at Old Master Tan. Her back was ramrod straight, and her voice carried an undeniable pride.

“Grandpa Tan, I couldn’t choose my background, but I’m never ashamed of it. Haoyu knows about my past, and he’s accepted me. I won’t give up on this relationship just because of a few words from you.”

Zhu Ziqing stood up and gently placed the document back on the table. Her eyes showed no sign of hesitation, only unwavering confidence.
