Chapter 220 Finding a way to become the person he likes
In the room, Zhu Ziqing gradually drifted off to sleep with Tan Xiaoxuan by her side.
Tan Xiaoxuan got up quietly, afraid of waking the sleeping Zhu Ziqing, and then quietly left the room.
Upon entering the living room, Tan Xiaoxuan immediately saw Liu Zhidong standing by the window, intently making a phone call.
Her curiosity was instantly piqued, and she tiptoed closer to Liu Zhidong, wanting to hear what he was saying.
"What are you doing!" Liu Zhidong noticed someone approaching, turned around abruptly, and saw Tan Xiaoxuan sneaking over. He pushed her away without any politeness.
Tan Xiaoxuan stumbled and almost fell. She steadied herself, gritted her teeth, and mustered her courage to say, "Liu Zhidong, I like you, and I want to date you!"
Liu Zhidong raised an eyebrow as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and replied with a look of disgust, "What does it matter to me if you like me? Don't make a scene here."
"You!" Tan Xiaoxuan was so angry that her face turned red. She raised her foot and kicked Liu Zhidong.
Liu Zhidong easily dodged, but Tan Xiaoxuan used too much force and fell forward with a thud to the ground.
"How could you bully a woman!" Tan Xiaoxuan got up from the ground and angrily accused.
"In my eyes, there are only the strong and the weak, not men and women," Liu Zhidong replied coldly, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Tan Xiaoxuan was so angry at his words that she trembled all over. She grabbed a water glass from the table and threw it at Liu Zhidong.
Liu Zhidong tilted his head slightly, and the water glass flew past his cheek, smashing against the wall with a "crack".
"With your skills, you think you can hit me?" Liu Zhidong mocked.
Tan Xiaoxuan completely lost her mind. She lunged at Liu Zhidong and bit his arm.
"Ah!" Liu Zhidong cried out in pain and forcefully threw Tan Xiaoxuan away.
Tan Xiaoxuan's teeth left a deep tooth mark on his arm.
Liu Zhidong grabbed Tan Xiaoxuan, threw her onto the sofa, and warned her fiercely, "Listen to me, go find a man to date, and stop bothering me all day!"
Tan Xiaoxuan fell onto the sofa, crying out in pain. She touched the spot where she had been hit, tears welling up in her eyes.
Liu Zhidong didn't even glance at her again, turned around and strode away.
Tan Xiaoxuan watched his departing figure, her heart filled with anger.
After a while, Tan Xiaoxuan came to her senses and was unwilling to give up just like that.
She caught up with Aunt Liu, who was cleaning, and asked anxiously, "Aunt Liu, do you think I'm pretty? Do I have a good figure?"
Aunt Liu stopped what she was doing, smiled and said, "Xiaoxuan, of course you're beautiful, and your figure is impeccable."
"Then why doesn't Liu Zhidong like me?" Tan Xiaoxuan frowned, her face full of doubt.
Aunt Liu shook her head helplessly, "I don't know about that, but Liu Zhidong is still your uncle, you..."
"He's not my uncle!" Tan Xiaoxuan interrupted Aunt Liu, saying angrily.
Tan Xiaoxuan returned to her room, sat on her bed, and fell into deep thought. She thought to herself: What kind of woman does Liu Zhidong like? I must find a way to become the kind of woman he likes.
Tan Xiaoxuan clenched her fists, a determined glint in her eyes. She decided to adopt a roundabout strategy, determined to win Liu Zhidong's heart no matter the cost.
……
Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, bathing the cozy bedroom in its warmth.
Zhu Ziqing slowly woke up, and the first thing she saw was Tan Haoyu's affectionate face.
He sat quietly by the bed, his gentle gaze fixed on Zhu Ziqing, as if nothing in the world was as important as she was.
"Haoyu, what are you doing here? Have you finished work?" Zhu Ziqing asked softly, her voice still carrying the languor of someone who had just woken up.
Tan Haoyu gently took Zhu Ziqing's hand, a warm smile spreading across his face. "No matter how busy I am with work, I have to check on my darling wife first. Have you had enough sleep?"
As he spoke, he carefully helped Zhu Ziqing sit up.
Zhu Ziqing leaned against the headboard, her hand unconsciously touching her slightly protruding belly, her eyes full of anticipation: "I feel like the baby has grown a little more, I really can't wait for him to come into this world."
Tan Haoyu's gaze also fell on Zhu Ziqing's belly, his eyes softening even more: "Whether this little one looks like you or like me, I will love him to bits."
Zhu Ziqing hesitated, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
Tan Haoyu, being extremely perceptive, immediately noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Qing'er, is there something you want to say?"
Zhu Ziqing bit her lip and said softly, "Actually... I just think you shouldn't blame yourself too much for what happened this time."
Tan Haoyu paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "Qing'er, it's my fault. If I hadn't been so playful and had spent more time with you, perhaps you wouldn't have suffered these misfortunes." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with guilt.
"Oh, don't say that." Zhu Ziqing wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but Tan Haoyu silenced her with a gentle kiss.
"This is punishment for you talking nonsense," Tan Haoyu said softly with a smile after the kiss ended.
Zhu Ziqing blushed, but secretly she was delighted. She actually quite liked Tan Haoyu's "punishment".
After they finished getting ready, the two went downstairs hand in hand.
In the living room, Tan Xiaoxuan was curled up on the sofa, looking sullen.
"Xiaoxuan, what's wrong?" Zhu Ziqing asked with concern.
Hearing the sound, Tan Xiaoxuan looked up and forced a smile: "It's nothing, sister-in-law, I was just spacing out."
Zhu Ziqing and Tan Haoyu exchanged a glance, both understanding that Tan Xiaoxuan was definitely hiding something.
Zhu Ziqing walked over to Tan Xiaoxuan, sat down gently, and said softly, "Xiaoxuan, don't hide it from me. Are you upset because of Liu Zhidong?"
Upon hearing the name "Liu Zhidong," Tan Xiaoxuan's already somewhat depressed face instantly darkened further: "Sister-in-law, I... I confessed my feelings to him, but he was so cold to me and just left."
"These things can't be rushed, Xiaoxuan," Zhu Ziqing patiently comforted her. "Relationships take time. Why don't we go eat first? We'll have the energy to think of solutions when we're full, what do you say?"
Tan Xiaoxuan thought for a moment and nodded: "Sister-in-law, you're right. Then... do you have any ideas on how to make him like me?"
Zhu Ziqing gently held Tan Xiaoxuan's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let's think of a way together. I believe that as long as you truly like him, you will always find a way to win him over."
Looking into Zhu Ziqing's determined eyes, Tan Xiaoxuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She secretly vowed to make Liu Zhidong fall in love with her, no matter the cost.
