My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 153 You're a complete waste

"Tan Haoyu, look over there!" Zhu Ziqing suddenly pointed to an open space to the left.

Her eyes sparkled, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Tan Haoyu followed her finger and saw that the open space was covered with a thick layer of white snow, which shimmered in the sunlight.

"Let's go build a snowman!" Zhu Ziqing excitedly grabbed his arm, her eyes full of anticipation.

Tan Haoyu looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Are you sure you want to play such a childish game?"

"What, you're disgusted?" Zhu Ziqing pouted. "Then I'll go by myself!"

"Okay, I'll go with you." Tan Haoyu chuckled and let her pull him forward.

The two walked to an open space, and Zhu Ziqing squatted down and began to scoop up snow with her hands and carefully pile it up.

Tan Haoyu stood aside, watching her focused expression, and a warm feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Hey, don't just stand there, come and help!" Zhu Ziqing looked up and glared at him.

Tan Haoyu smiled, squatted down, and started piling snow like she did.

His movements were somewhat clumsy, but he was extremely earnest.

Zhu Ziqing looked at him and suddenly laughed, "I never expected that the dignified President Tan would have such an adorable side."

Tan Haoyu raised an eyebrow. "Cute? Are you sure that word suits me?"

"What, you're not convinced?" Zhu Ziqing blinked.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed a handful of snow, wiping it on his face.

Tan Haoyu was caught off guard and had snow smeared all over his face.

He paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said in a dangerous tone, "Zhu Ziqing, you've got some nerve."

Zhu Ziqing stuck out her tongue and turned to run away, but Tan Haoyu grabbed her arm.

"Trying to run away?" Tan Haoyu's voice was deep, with a hint of mockery.

Before Zhu Ziqing could react, Tan Haoyu had already grabbed the back of her head and kissed her.

"Hmm..." Zhu Ziqing's eyes widened, and her heart raced instantly.

She tried to push him away, but Tan Haoyu held her firmly in his arms.

The kiss lasted a long time, until Zhu Ziqing felt she had difficulty breathing, and Tan Haoyu finally let her go.

"What...what are you doing!" Zhu Ziqing blushed and angrily punched his back.

Tan Haoyu chuckled and reached out to stroke her lips, which were red and swollen from the kiss. "I will try my best to cooperate with you in the future, so that you won't be dissatisfied."

"What?" Zhu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant, and stomped her foot angrily, "Who's dissatisfied! What... what are you thinking!"

Tan Haoyu raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that right?"

"You big idiot!" Zhu Ziqing raised her foot and stomped on him hard, then turned and ran away.

Tan Haoyu watched her retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes full of joy.

He looked down at his foot that had been stepped on, but he wasn't angry at all.

"It's quite fun to tease her occasionally."

He muttered to himself, then stepped forward and followed.

……

After parting ways with Zhu Ziqing, Zhu Yahan went straight into the mall.

Her gaze swept over the dazzling array of skincare products on the counter, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Miss, this serum is a new product in our store, and it's very effective," the sales assistant enthusiastically recommended.

Zhu Yahan picked up the bottle of serum, glanced at the price, and nodded without hesitation, "Wrap it up."

For her, maintaining her appearance is a long-term investment, and it's worth spending any amount of money on it.

She walked out of the mall, got into the BMW X5, and started the engine.

The car smoothly drove out of the parking lot and merged into the traffic.

To outsiders, the Zhu family appears glamorous, living in mansions, driving luxury cars, and enjoying a carefree life.

But only Zhu Yahan knew that all of this was just a facade of prosperity.

The car drove into the Zhu family villa.

The newly hired maid immediately came forward, "Miss, you're back."

Dinner is ready; the master is waiting for you.

Zhu Yahan nodded and walked into the living room.

Zhu Shigou was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face.

"Dad, I'm back," Zhu Yahan said softly.

Zhu Shigou suddenly stood up, walked quickly to her, and slapped her across the face.

"Slap!" The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the living room.

Zhu Yahan's head was turned to the side after being hit, and a clear handprint immediately appeared on her face.

She covered her face, tears welling in her eyes, and looked at Zhu Shigou, "Dad, why..."

"Why?" Zhu Shigou sneered. "You still have the nerve to ask? I told you to win Tan Haoyu back, but instead, you drove him away!"

"I didn't..." Before Zhu Yahan could finish speaking, Zhu Shigou slapped her again.

"Slap! Slap!" The continuous slaps made Zhu Yahan dizzy and her body swayed.

She was already thin and frail; how could she withstand such violence?

Finally, as Zhu Shigou raised his hand again, her vision went black and she fainted.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Yahan slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

“Wan… Wan Qing Sha?” she murmured, her voice a little hoarse.

Wan Qingsha sat on the edge of the bed, her expression indifferent. "Awake?"

Zhu Yahan sat up abruptly, grabbing his hand tightly as if it were a lifeline. "How did you get here?"

Wan Qingsha looked down at her hand, her tone still indifferent, "I heard you were slapped a few times and were unconscious for several hours, so I came to check on you."

Zhu Yahan's face paled, she let go of his hand, and lowered her head, "I... I'm just not feeling well."

"Not feeling well?" Wan Qingsha chuckled lightly. "When did the eldest daughter of the Zhu family become so delicate?"

Zhu Yahan bit her lip and did not answer.

She carefully raised her head and tentatively asked, "Did you come to see me because of something?"

Wan Qingsha did not answer immediately, but stood up and walked to the window.

With his back to Zhu Yahan, he asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Zhu Yahan's heart tightened, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the blanket.

Wan Qingsha stared coldly at Zhu Yahan, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

"You think Tan Haoyu would be interested in you?" He scoffed, his tone full of sarcasm.

"In his eyes, you're nothing but a joke."

Zhu Yahan lowered her head, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with bitterness, as if she had swallowed a bitter pill.

But she couldn't say a word.

She had long known that in her father's and Wan Qingsha's eyes, she was nothing more than a tool.

A tool used to lure Tan Haoyu.

But now, she has no value even in that respect.

The attempt to seduce failed, and his dignity was utterly destroyed.

"I really overestimated you." Wan Qingsha's voice was as cold as ice. "If you can't even handle Tan Haoyu, what use are you?"

Zhu Yahan bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Wan Qingsha suddenly approached, grabbed her chin, and forced her to look up.

"Your face and figure are quite alluring, aren't they?"

"What, is Tan Haoyu blind, or are you just a piece of trash?"

His strength increased, and Zhu Yahan frowned in pain, but dared not struggle.
