Chapter 243 Why does she seem like a different person?
Little Qingqing seemed to sense Tan Haoyu's unhappiness, so she reached out her little hand and took his big hand, conveying her warmth to him: "Daddy, Le'er is here."
Tan Haoyu snapped out of his daze, hugged Xiao Qingqing tightly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "With Le'er here, Daddy is happy."
Little Qingqing frowned and said in her childish voice, "Daddy should smile. Le'er likes Daddy to smile."
Tan Haoyu smiled slightly, his voice filled with a hint of doting: "Okay, Daddy smiles. Le'er is the best."
He suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up: "Le'er, there are lots of strawberries in the kitchen, do you want to share half with Dad?"
Although Xiao Qingqing especially loves eating strawberries, seeing her father's expectant eyes, she immediately nodded: "Okay, Le'er is willing."
Tan Haoyu carried Xiao Qingqing downstairs, where the kitchen was already filled with various delicacies made with strawberries.
Little Qingqing's eyes lit up instantly, and she excitedly pointed to the strawberry cake on the table: "Daddy, I want that!"
Tan Haoyu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Le'er can eat whatever she wants."
Seeing Xiao Qingqing's happy face warmed Tan Haoyu's heart. He knew that as long as Xiao Qingqing was there, every day would be wonderful.
Then, Tan Haoyu carried Xiao Qingqing into the restaurant, where her favorite strawberry puree was already laid out on the table.
"Le'er, it's time for strawberry puree today," he said softly, placing Xiao Qingqing in her high chair, putting on her bib, and handing her a small spoon.
Xiao Qingqing happily took the spoon, carefully scooped up the strawberry puree, and ate it bite by bite.
"Daddy, you eat too." She suddenly scooped up a spoonful of strawberry puree, held it to Tan Haoyu's lips, and said in a childish voice.
Tan Haoyu smiled slightly, opened his mouth to taste it, and praised, "The strawberry puree that Le'er fed me is the best."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingqing giggled happily, scooped up another spoonful, and turned to feed it to the little puppy lying at her feet: "Little sister, you eat too."
Tan Haoyu quickly stopped her: "Le'er, little puppies can't eat strawberry puree, it will give them a stomachache."
Xiao Qingqing blinked, seemingly understanding, then put the spoon back into her mouth and ate the strawberry puree in one bite.
"Le'er!" A clear female voice rang out. Xiao Qingqing turned around and saw Tan Xiaoxuan standing at the door. An excited smile appeared on her face.
"Auntie!" Little Qingqing waved excitedly and called out in her childish voice.
Tan Xiaoxuan walked over quickly, picked up Xiao Qingqing and spun her around twice, then asked with a smile, "Le'er, did you miss your auntie?"
Xiao Qingqing nodded seriously: "Yes, I miss my aunt's 'hoohoo'."
Tan Xiaoxuan kissed her cheek and said with a smile, "Le'er is getting prettier and prettier, just like her aunt."
Xiao Qingqing shook her head confidently: "No, Le'er is prettier than Auntie."
Tan Xiaoxuan pretended to be sad and covered her chest: "Oh dear, Auntie is so heartbroken."
Xiao Qingqing immediately comforted her: "Auntie, we are just as pretty."
Tan Xiaoxuan laughed heartily at her joke and suddenly reached out to pinch her cheek: "Le'er's cheeks are so soft, your little aunt wants to pinch them."
Xiao Qingqing said seriously, "No, you have to pay to pinch my cheeks."
Tan Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Then, would Le'er be willing to pay 50,000 yuan per time?"
Xiao Qingqing tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded seriously: "Okay, fifty thousand yuan per time."
Tan Haoyu stood aside, watching the two happy sisters with a hint of doting in his eyes.
"Xiaoxuan, what brings you here?" He walked over, took Xiao Qingqing, and gently placed her on the ground.
Tan Xiaoxuan smiled slightly: "The filming is finished, so I came over to keep you company."
She paused, a complex look flashing in her eyes: "Haoyu, you've become cold and distant over the past three years, growing increasingly estranged from your family."
Tan Haoyu paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "I know, there's nothing I can do."
Tan Xiaoxuan gently patted his shoulder: "Le'er is now the closest person to me. She likes to stick to me, and I like to spend time with her too."
Tan Haoyu nodded: "Thank you, Xiaoxuan. I feel at ease with you here."
"Le'er, Daddy's going to work now. You stay home and play with your auntie." Tan Haoyu walked over and kissed Xiao Qingqing's cheek.
Xiao Qingqing tiptoed and kissed him back: "Daddy, Le'er will miss you and call you."
Tan Haoyu smiled slightly and ruffled her hair: "Okay, Dad will wait for Le'er's call."
He turned and left, his heart filled with warmth and reluctance.
……
Tan Haoyu skillfully navigated the traffic in Shenzhen.
The outline of the Sunshine Group building gradually became clear in front of him. He took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind of all distractions.
However, the moment he stepped into the office, all his thoughts rushed back like a tide.
"Ziqing, why do you seem like a completely different person? I don't even recognize you anymore?" he murmured, a hint of confusion and pain in his eyes.
The pile of documents on the table and the missed calls seemed to remind him that there was still too much to do, but he simply couldn't concentrate.
"Mr. Tan, you wanted to see me?" Yang Piaoliang knocked gently and opened the office door.
Tan Haoyu raised his head, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes: "Have you found out?"
Yang Piaoliang nodded, walked into the office, and placed a document on the table: "President Tan, we have found out. Zhang Mengmeng, also known as Zhu Ziqing, is the chief designer in China hired by the internationally renowned wedding dress brand MenSha at a high salary."
Tan Haoyu's gaze was fixed on the document, a cold glint in his eyes: "MenSha Company?"
Tan Haoyu stood up abruptly, his voice filled with unwavering determination: "Start the acquisition of MenSha immediately, the sooner the better."
Yang Piaoliang was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly nodded, "President Tan, this..."
Tan Haoyu interrupted her, his tone cold: "Let the most professional team from Sunshine Group handle it. I want to hear good news within three days."
Knowing Tan Haoyu's temper, Yang Piaoliang didn't dare to say anything more and could only nod in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Tan, I will arrange it immediately."
Yang Piaoliang walked out of the office, her heart filled with emotion. She had witnessed the emotional journey of Tan Haoyu and Zhu Ziqing, from their first meeting and falling in love to Tan Haoyu's three-year search for Zhu Ziqing after her "death."
"Zhu Ziqing's place in President Tan's heart is far beyond our comprehension," she murmured to herself, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
For three years, Tan Haoyu never gave up searching for Zhu Ziqing, but now that she has reappeared in his life, she seems to have become a different person.
"What President Tan wants to do now is to stay by Zhu Ziqing's side at all times and not let anyone take her away from him again," Yang Piaoliang thought to himself, a hint of determination in his eyes.
