My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 185 The wedding can't be delayed.

Just then, Xiao Hua appeared out of nowhere and rubbed against Zhu Ziqing's feet.

Zhu Ziqing bent down, picked it up, and gently stroked its head.

Watching this scene, Tan's mother sighed, "Haoyu used to hate small animals the most, but I never expected that he could tolerate Xiaohua running around the house now. It seems that he has really changed a lot for you."

Zhu Ziqing looked down at the little flower in her arms, a warm feeling welling up inside her. She knew that Tan Haoyu's change was because he truly loved her.

Mrs. Tan gently patted Zhu Ziqing's hand and said in a tender tone, "Ziqing, I trust Haoyu's judgment and I believe you will be a good daughter-in-law. From now on, this family is in your hands."

Zhu Ziqing raised her head, her eyes filled with determination: "Mom, I will try my best."

Mrs. Tan nodded with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction.

Tan Xiaoxuan rushed over, a smile of excitement on her face: "Mom, sister-in-law, Grandpa's car is almost here! Let's go to the door to meet him!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing quickly put down the little flower in her arms, stood up and helped Tan's mother: "Mom, let's go over there."

Tan's mother patted her hand and said gently, "Don't be nervous. Grandpa may look serious, but he is actually very kind."

As the group approached the villa's main entrance, a black Huawei S800 slowly drove in.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Tan Xiaoxuan ran over and sweetly called out, "Grandpa!"

The car door opened, and a sprightly old man leaned out. His hair was gray, but his complexion was ruddy, and his voice was loud and clear: "Xiaoxuan, you've grown taller and more beautiful!"

Tan Xiaoxuan smiled and took his arm: "Grandpa, you're praising me again!"

Tan Haoyu also stepped forward and, together with Tan Xiaoxuan, helped Grandpa Tan out of the car.

Grandpa Tan said "no need to help," but he still held their hands, clearly appreciating his grandchildren's concern.

Tan Haoyu took Zhu Ziqing's hand and walked to Grandpa Tan, saying respectfully, "Grandpa, this is Ziqing, my wife."

Zhu Ziqing was still a little dazed. The old man in front of her, Grandpa Tan, looked much younger than his actual age and was full of energy. He was nothing like the old-fashioned man she had imagined.

Tan Haoyu gently squeezed her hand and whispered, "Ziqing, call him Grandpa."

Zhu Ziqing snapped out of her daze, quickly bowed slightly, and said in a clear voice, "Hello, Grandpa, I'm Ziqing."

When Grandpa Tan heard Zhu Ziqing's greeting, he paused slightly and turned around.

His sharp, hawk-like gaze fell on Zhu Ziqing, as if trying to see into her heart.

Zhu Ziqing felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze and subconsciously moved closer to Tan Haoyu.

Tan Haoyu noticed her nervousness, gently squeezed her hand, and called out again, "Grandpa."

Grandpa Tan lowered his gaze slightly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger: "Haoyu, you're married?"

Tan Haoyu nodded solemnly, "Yes, Grandpa. Ziqing and I have already registered our marriage; we are a legally married couple."

Zhu Ziqing felt the warmth of Tan Haoyu's hand, and her unease gradually dissipated. She pursed her lips and gave a faint smile, as if to tell Tan Haoyu: I'm not afraid.

Grandpa Tan didn't stop there, and continued to question, "Have you registered your marriage? What about the wedding? Or are you getting married because you're pregnant?"

His tone was aggressive, and his gaze swept over Zhu Ziqing's abdomen as if searching for some clue.

Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, but said firmly, "Grandpa, we've already registered our marriage; we're legally married. I'll arrange the wedding as soon as possible."

Grandpa Tan snorted coldly, his tone carrying a hint of reproach: "You've registered your marriage but haven't held a wedding, making that girl suffer. What were you thinking, kid?"

His gaze was complex, and although his tone was stern, his words revealed his concern for Zhu Ziqing.

Zhu Ziqing felt a warmth in her heart and was about to explain when Mr. Tan stepped forward, smiling and trying to smooth things over: "Dad, let's go inside and talk about Haoyu and Ziqing's matter. What kind of behavior is it to stand at the door?"

Grandpa Tan glanced at his son and softened his tone: "That's true, let's go inside and talk."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and took Tan Haoyu and Zhu Ziqing's hands, his tone suddenly becoming gentle: "Let's go, we're all family, don't stand here in the wind."

Grandpa Tan looked her over a few times, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "Hmm, not bad, Haoyu's taste is indeed good."

Zhu Ziqing blushed and said softly, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Grandpa Tan laughed and patted Tan Haoyu on the shoulder: "Let's go inside and talk. My old bones can't stand for long."

Tan Haoyu and Tan Xiaoxuan supported Grandpa Tan on either side, while Zhu Ziqing followed behind, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Zhu Ziqing was a little confused by Grandpa Tan's sudden change, but she still obediently followed him into the house.

She glanced at Tan Haoyu and noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was not surprised by his grandfather's attitude.

After entering the house, Grandpa Tan sat in the main seat, his gaze falling on Zhu Ziqing again, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry: "Ziqing, if Haoyu bullies you, just tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Zhu Ziqing quickly shook her head and said with a smile, "Grandpa, Haoyu is very good to me, you don't need to worry."

Grandpa Tan nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes: "That's good. However, the wedding can't be delayed; it must be done as soon as possible. Our Tan family's daughter-in-law can't be wronged."

Tan Haoyu grasped Zhu Ziqing's hand and nodded solemnly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Grandpa Tan then smiled and patted Tan Haoyu on the shoulder: "That's more like it."

Grandpa Tan saw Zhu Ziqing sitting blushing to the side, and suddenly reached out and took her hand. His palm was warm and strong, and his tone became gentle: "Child, we're family now, don't be shy."

This gesture brought a sigh of relief to everyone, especially Zhu Ziqing. She felt Grandpa Tan's approval, and her unease instantly vanished.

She looked up at Tan Haoyu, their eyes met, and they smiled at each other, as if everything was understood without words.

Grandpa Tan's arrival made the Tan family even more lively. Although he was advanced in years, he was in good spirits, had a loud voice, and exuded an aura of control in his every move.

Zhu Ziqing saw a similar quality in Tan Haoyu and couldn't help but sigh: They really are grandfather and grandson.

"Child, come, sit here." Grandpa Tan patted the seat next to him, his tone kind.

Zhu Ziqing felt a warmth in her heart and obediently sat down. Grandpa Tan's approachable manner warmed her heart, and her worries about insomnia vanished.

Seeing this, Tan Xiaoxuan came over with a smile and started massaging Grandpa Tan's back: "Grandpa, why don't you stay a few more days this time? We all miss you!"
