Chapter 175 A Wild Kiss
Chapter 175 A Wild Kiss
Zhu Ziqing sensed the coldness in Tan Haoyu's eyes and felt uneasy.
But she still stood up and slowly walked to his side.
"Haoyu, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Tan Haoyu still didn't answer, but instead reached out and grabbed her wrist, his grip a little too tight.
“Go home,” he said in a low voice, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Li Siqi frowned and quickly chased after them.
"Ziqing, wait a minute."
Zhu Ziqing stopped and turned to look at Li Siqi.
Li Siqi lowered her voice and whispered, "It's normal for couples to have minor disagreements. Since he's come to pick you up, you should go back with him."
Zhu Ziqing shook her head, her tone tinged with helplessness.
“We didn’t argue, and I don’t know why he’s angry.”
Li Siqi sighed and patted her on the shoulder.
"Men can be so unpredictable sometimes. But the holidays are almost here, so you can work from home and don't need to come to the studio anymore."
Zhu Ziqing nodded, but still felt somewhat uneasy.
Li Siqi added, "By the way, the new designer we originally planned to have you mentor has already returned to China. His training will probably have to wait until after the New Year."
Zhu Ziqing forced a smile.
"okay, I get it."
Zhu Ziqing looked up at Li Siqi and said calmly.
"Siqi, don't forget our hot pot date tonight. I've been craving it for days."
Li Siqi raised an eyebrow, glanced at Tan Haoyu beside her, and said with a hint of teasing in her tone.
"Ziqing, your boyfriend has already come to pick you up, why are you still having hot pot with me? Why don't you two go together?"
After she finished speaking, she deliberately winked at Tan Haoyu, her tone light and cheerful.
"Haoyu, hurry up and take your man away, don't make me late for getting off work."
Tan Haoyu stood to the side, his face still bearing a cold expression, seemingly unaffected by Li Siqi's joke.
But he acted without hesitation, taking a few steps to Zhu Ziqing's side, stretching out his arm and wrapping his arms around her waist.
Zhu Ziqing was taken aback by his sudden action, and looked up at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Haoyu, you..."
Tan Haoyu did not answer, but tightened his arms slightly, keeping her firmly by his side, as if to assert his dominance.
Zhu Ziqing felt the strength in his arm and felt a little uneasy, but she still said softly, "Haoyu, can you take Xiaohua with you? It will be lonely at home alone."
Tan Haoyu remained silent, but he did not stop her either.
Seeing this, Zhu Ziqing quickly picked up the little dog Xiaohua, gently stroked its head, and whispered a few words of comfort.
Li Siqi couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sight.
"Ziqing, your dog is really lucky. Even your boss Tan has to give way to it."
Zhu Ziqing smiled and turned to wave at Li Siqi.
"Siqi, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow."
Li Siqi nodded and watched the two leave.
As Zhu Ziqing walked out of the studio, Tan Haoyu put his arm around her waist, and she staggered a little.
She looked up at him, trying to read something from his expression.
"Haoyu, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Tan Haoyu remained silent, but tightened his grip on her waist, as if expressing some suppressed emotion.
Helpless, Zhu Ziqing could only lower her head and stroke the little flower in her arms, letting out a soft sigh.
"Xiaohua, your dad seems to be in a bad mood today."
Little Flower seemed to sense her emotions, gently nuzzling her hand and letting out a few low whimpers.
Walking to the car, Tan Haoyu opened the passenger door and gestured for Zhu Ziqing to get in.
Zhu Ziqing sat down with Xiaohua in her arms and was about to fasten her seatbelt when she suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression.
Tan Haoyu leaned closer to her, one hand on the seat, the other pinching her chin, and kissed her directly.
The kiss came suddenly and fiercely, carrying a wild and repressed emotion.
Zhu Ziqing was caught off guard by his sudden action, and the little flower in her hand was so frightened that she jumped to the back seat.
Tan Haoyu's kisses deepened, even biting her lips until they bled.
The smell of blood spread between the two, but Zhu Ziqing did not struggle and just silently endured it.
She knew that Tan Haoyu needed to vent his emotions, and she was willing to be his outlet.
After a long while, Tan Haoyu slowly released her, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.
He looked down at Zhu Ziqing's bitten lip, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" he asked in a low voice, his voice tinged with suppressed anger.
Zhu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
"Phone? I... I've been busy with design drafts all day, and my phone was on silent, so I didn't notice."
Tan Haoyu's brows furrowed even more, his tone tinged with helplessness and anger.
“I made more than a dozen calls, from morning until noon, but you didn’t answer a single one.”
Zhu Ziqing then realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I really didn't notice. You...you came back early because of this?"
Tan Haoyu did not answer, but just stared at her coldly.
He had originally planned to go on a three-day business trip, but decided to return early because he was worried about her safety.
But when he saw her sitting unharmed in the studio, even chatting and laughing with Li Siqi, his worry instantly turned into anger.
He was angry, angry that she didn't answer the phone, angry that she didn't care about him as her husband.
Zhu Ziqing sensed the coldness in his eyes and felt a pang of guilt.
She reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Haoyu, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."
Tan Haoyu looked at her, the anger in his eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by a hint of helplessness and doting.
He reached out and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Before leaving, Tan Haoyu bit Zhu Ziqing hard again before finally letting her go.
He glanced darkly at her bitten lip, then started the car without a word, and sped away with a roar of the engine.
Zhu Ziqing covered her lips, the pain making her frown slightly, but she didn't complain, she just silently looked at Tan Haoyu's profile.
After driving for a while, she suddenly noticed that the scenery outside the window was somewhat unfamiliar, and it didn't seem to be the way home.
She spoke cautiously, her voice soft: "Haoyu, have we gone the wrong way?"
Tan Haoyu didn't answer, or even glance at her, but just stared intently ahead, as if her words didn't exist.
Seeing this, Zhu Ziqing pursed her lips and said no more.
She lowered her head and stroked the puppy, Xiaohua, in her arms, trying to find some comfort in it.
Little Flower seemed to sense her emotions, gently nuzzling her hand and letting out a few low sobs.
