My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 177 The Lady of the Mansion

Tan Haoyu took Zhu Ziqing's hand and led her into the villa's living room.

He suddenly stopped and turned to look at her, his tone calm but with a hint of seriousness: "Ziqing, during the Spring Festival, the elders in our family will return to China and stay here."

Zhu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Elders? You mean... your parents?"

Tan Haoyu nodded: "Yes, and there are some relatives too. As the hostess, you need to familiarize yourself with the environment beforehand and take good care of them."

Upon hearing the words "mistress," Zhu Ziqing felt a surge of unease.

Although she has been married to Tan Haoyu for some time, she has never formally met his parents.

The thought of facing her in-laws made her heart race.

She asked cautiously, "Haoyu, when will the elders arrive? Is there anything I need to prepare?"

Tan Haoyu shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness: "The exact time is still uncertain. My dad is rather impulsive and never makes plans in advance."

Zhu Ziqing breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

There are at least a few days to prepare, so we won't be caught off guard.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Tan Haoyu, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Haoyu, do you think I should prepare some gifts for the elders? Do you know what they like?"

Seeing her serious expression, Tan Haoyu smiled slightly: "They're easy to get along with, so don't be too nervous. As for the gift... let Aunt Liu give you a detailed introduction tomorrow; she knows their preferences better."

Zhu Ziqing nodded, already starting to plan what she should prepare.

Just then, Tan Haoyu suddenly stopped, turned around to face her, and looked deep and serious.

"Ziqing, why didn't you answer my call?" His voice was low and tinged with suppressed emotion.

Zhu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then frantically searched her bag, only to find that her phone was not inside.

She then realized that she seemed to have left her phone at Li Siqi's house.

She looked up somewhat awkwardly and said softly, "Haoyu, I think I left my phone at Siqi's house, so I didn't hear your call..."

Upon hearing her explanation, Tan Haoyu frowned, his face growing even more somber.

He looked at her coldly, his tone tinged with reproach: "Do you know how many calls I made? From morning till noon, and not a single one was answered."

Zhu Ziqing sensed his anger and felt a little guilty.

She said softly, "I'm sorry, Haoyu, I didn't mean to. I was just... too busy and didn't notice my phone wasn't with me."

Tan Haoyu was silent for a moment, then turned his head awkwardly, his voice so low it was almost inaudible: "I'm just... worried about you."

Zhu Ziqing felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing these words.

She reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, her voice soft: "Haoyu, I know I was wrong. I will definitely be more careful in the future and won't make you worry anymore."

Tan Haoyu glanced down at her, the anger in his eyes gradually dissipating.

He reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness: "Don't be so careless anymore, okay?"

Zhu Ziqing nodded emphatically, her eyes full of seriousness: "Yes, I promise I won't make you worry anymore."

Looking at her obedient appearance, Tan Haoyu's anger finally dissipated completely.

He sighed softly and took her hand: "Come on, let me show you the room."

Tan Haoyu took Zhu Ziqing's hand and slowly walked into the hall.

Zhu Ziqing's gaze wandered around, and she couldn't help but sigh: Although the decoration of this hall was simple, it exuded an understated luxury, which was indeed in line with Tan Haoyu's consistent style.

“Our room is on the third floor.” Tan Haoyu’s voice was deep and magnetic, as if carrying an unquestionable domineering air.

Zhu Ziqing nodded, but felt a little uneasy. She looked up at the winding marble staircase and muttered to herself, "This staircase is way too high!"

"Aunt Liu will take you to visit other places tomorrow," Tan Haoyu continued, his tone carrying an air of unyielding authority.

Zhu Ziqing gave a soft "hmm," but she was a little confused: Who is Aunt Liu? How many servants are there in this villa?

The two skipped up the marble steps one after the other, Zhu Ziqing's steps were light and quick, as if she were dancing.

Tan Haoyu glanced back at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of doting in his eyes.

"The bedroom's decor is the same as the bedrooms in Xinghe Shangcheng, only it's larger." Tan Haoyu pushed open the bedroom door and gestured for Zhu Ziqing to go in.

Zhu Ziqing walked into the bedroom and was immediately stunned by the scene before her.

This isn't a bedroom at all! It's a huge suite! It has a walk-in closet, a dressing room, a bathroom, and even a small study—it has everything.

"This...this is too big!" Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but exclaim.

Tan Haoyu smiled slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes: "Do you like it?"

Zhu Ziqing nodded, but felt a little uneasy: Would it be too lonely for her to live alone in such a big bedroom?

"Land in the Xizi Bay villa area is incredibly valuable. Owning a super mansion here is not something just anyone can do," Tan Haoyu's voice rang in Zhu Ziqing's ears, seemingly carrying a deeper meaning.

Zhu Ziqing's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but ask, "Are you... really just a senior executive at Sunshine Group?"

Tan Haoyu did not answer directly, but smiled slightly, a hint of mystery flashing in his eyes.

Zhu Ziqing's doubts deepened: Could he really be Jack Tan? That legendary business genius?

“You and Jack Tan are the same age, both 28,” Zhu Ziqing said tentatively.

Tan Haoyu still didn't answer, but gently patted her shoulder, signaling her to continue the tour.

Zhu Ziqing became increasingly curious: Tan Haoyu's refined temperament and elegant demeanor were clearly not qualities that could be cultivated in an ordinary family.

His identity is probably far more than just a senior executive at Sunshine Group.

The two entered the dressing room, and Zhu Ziqing was immediately captivated by the sight before her.

The wardrobe was neatly arranged with all kinds of clothes and shoes, each piece so exquisite that it was hard to look away.

"These...were all prepared for me?" Zhu Ziqing asked in disbelief.

Tan Haoyu nodded, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "Do you like it?"

Zhu Ziqing was deeply moved and couldn't help but throw herself into Tan Haoyu's arms: "Thank you, Haoyu."

Tan Haoyu gently hugged her and whispered in her ear, "As long as you're happy, I'm satisfied."

Zhu Ziqing's gaze fell on the left side of the dressing room, where a row of silver-gray suits hung neatly.

She couldn't help but ask, "Why do you like silver-gray so much?"

Tan Haoyu smiled slightly, a hint of something deeper flashing in his eyes: "Silver gray, understated yet luxurious, just like me."

Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh: "You really are narcissistic."
