My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 212 How can I save myself?

Mr. Yan's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression as he looked at Zhu Yahan. He said, enunciating each word clearly, "Ms. Zhu, do you think I'm the mastermind behind this? The real boss is Tan Haoyu (Jack Tan). I'm just a pawn in his game. Once the pawn is no longer useful, it'll be thrown away like trash. Look at Zhu Ziqing; isn't she a perfect example of a discarded pawn?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yahan was stunned, staring blankly ahead, and remained silent for a long time.

The atmosphere in the room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe. Mr. Yan was getting impatient and was about to urge them on.

Zhu Yahan slowly said, "Tan Haoyu... does he really care about Zhu Ziqing that much?"

Mr. Yan nodded and said decisively, "Of course. Those who hurt Zhu Ziqing, which one of them didn't go bankrupt or flee to another place? Tan Haoyu's concern for Zhu Ziqing is genuine."

A flicker of despair crossed Zhu Yahan's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the will to survive.

She suddenly stood up, rushed to Mr. Yan, grabbed his arm, and said urgently, "What should I do now? Tell me quickly, how can I save myself!"

Looking at Zhu Yahan's panicked appearance, Mr. Yan's lips curled up slightly, and he said unhurriedly, "It's very simple. You just need to behave yourself and be obedient. Don't attract Tan Haoyu's attention again. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."

Zhu Yahan let go of her hand and collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.

Mr. Yan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the gradually darkening sky outside, pondering to himself.

He understood why Tan Haoyu didn't directly handle these matters: he wanted to protect Zhu Ziqing, didn't want her to be exposed to the dark side of the world, and wanted her to always live in the sunlight.

Zhu Ziqing had also secretly approached Tan Haoyu behind his back; she had kept her actions very well hidden.

Mr. Yan knew that she was also trying to protect Tan Haoyu from being implicated in these shady dealings.

This couple, one willing to bear all the darkness alone, the other wanting to protect the other, both wanting to shield each other from the storm, yet they themselves are plunging into the darkness.

Hey, this is really interesting! A barely perceptible smile appeared on Mr. Yan's lips.

Meanwhile, Zhu Yahan, sitting on the ground, was still trembling.

……

Uncle Zheng drove steadily, speeding all the way, and finally came to a smooth stop at the hospital entrance.

Before the car door was fully open, Tan Haoyu dashed out like an arrow. He quickly opened the back door, his gaze falling on the pale-faced Zhu Ziqing, his eyes filled with heartache and urgency.

"Ziqing!" Tan Haoyu growled, reaching out to carefully pick up Zhu Ziqing. He hurried along, rushing towards the hospital, the veins on his forehead bulging with tension.

Zhu Ziqing felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she saw Tan Haoyu's anxious expression, as if the sky were about to fall.

She gently raised her hand and stroked Tan Haoyu's face, comforting him weakly yet tenderly, "Haoyu, I'm just in a little pain, it's really nothing serious, don't be so nervous."

Tan Haoyu, however, had a gloomy expression and said in a low voice, "Don't speak, conserve your energy." His expression was extremely serious, as if Zhu Ziqing would only worsen her pain if she said another word.

Hospital examination

In fact, Tan Haoyu had already paved the way by phone before coming to the hospital.

So when they rushed into the hospital, a group of professional doctors were already on high alert, and all the examination equipment was ready and waiting for Zhu Ziqing to come in.

The doctors carefully took Zhu Ziqing from Tan Haoyu's arms and laid her flat on the examination bed.

Subsequently, a series of comprehensive physical examinations were carried out in an orderly manner.

Tan Haoyu stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Zhu Ziqing, filled with anxiety and unease. His hands were clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh, and every sound from the instruments felt like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

The long examination finally ended, and the doctor held the report with a relieved smile: "Mr. Tan, Ms. Zhu and the fetus are both safe and sound, but the pregnant woman was a little frightened and is a bit tired."

Upon hearing this news, Tan Haoyu's tense body relaxed slightly, but his brows remained furrowed.

The doctor added, "However, pregnant women need to keep their emotions stable and avoid excessive fluctuations, otherwise it may endanger the fetus."

anger and worry

After the examination, Tan Haoyu followed the nurse to take Zhu Ziqing to the ward. He sat by the bedside, like a cold sculpture, his face expressionless, his lips tightly pressed together, and he remained silent.

Seeing Tan Haoyu like this, Zhu Ziqing felt wronged. She reached out and gently tugged at Tan Haoyu's sleeve, her voice trembling slightly: "Haoyu, why are you still angry? I'm fine now."

Looking at Zhu Ziqing's aggrieved expression, Tan Haoyu's helplessness instantly turned into deep worry.

He reached out and gently rubbed Zhu Ziqing's head, his tone reproachful: "Why didn't you tell me you came to the capital alone? You're not even three months pregnant yet, this is the most unstable time for the baby. Do you know how dangerous it is for you!"

Tan Haoyu's voice choked as he spoke. He couldn't imagine how he would face the world or survive the rest of his life if something really happened to Zhu Ziqing and the child.

A heartfelt promise

Zhu Ziqing clearly felt the deep affection and worry in Tan Haoyu's words, and her heart ached. She suddenly hugged Tan Haoyu tightly, buried her head in his chest, and her body trembled slightly.

"Haoyu, I promise you I won't make you worry about me and the child anymore." Zhu Ziqing's voice was muffled, yet incredibly firm.

Heartfelt exhortations

Tan Haoyu held Zhu Ziqing's hand tightly, as if he wanted to transfer all the power in the world to her.

He gazed into Zhu Ziqing's eyes, his gaze filled with deep affection and concern: "Ziqing, no matter what happens in the future, you must tell me immediately. I will always be your support, understand?"

Zhu Ziqing nodded heavily, tears welling in her eyes: "I understand, Haoyu, I will do as you say."

……

Time flies like an arrow; several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Ziqing was six months pregnant at this time. Her originally slender waist had been completely replaced by her protruding belly, and her whole figure had become rounder.

Surprisingly, her skin became exceptionally smooth, as if it had been treated exceptionally well by time.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Chen, both experienced women in the household, observed the various changes in Zhu Ziqing's pregnancy and whispered among themselves, "In my opinion, Madam is most likely carrying a girl." Aunt Liu said with certainty.

Aunt Chen nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. Look how much better Madam's skin looks. Everyone says that mothers who are pregnant with girls have good skin. I guess, nine times out of ten, it's a girl."
