Chapter 1 The Mystery of the Flash Marriage
Shenzhen, IFC Mall.
Zhu Ziqing stood quietly in front of the office window on the thirtieth floor, her eyes filled with confusion.
"How did I end up getting married?" she murmured to herself.
She is over thirty years old and is an ordinary white-collar worker in this city, having worked hard in this unfamiliar city for many years.
She has a pretty face, but is otherwise quite ordinary.
Having just started her new job, love is an unspeakable pain in her heart.
"Blind dates, blind dates, every time it feels like a formality." Zhu Ziqing shook her head helplessly.
Thinking back on those awkward moments during blind dates, I feel a mix of emotions.
"Qingqing, the only thing Grandma can't let go of is you. You're already thirty. If I could see you get married, Grandma would have no regrets."
Her grandmother's words at her bedside weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder.
Looking out the window at the bustling traffic, her thoughts drifted back to her first encounter with Tan Haoyu.
It was a thrilling afternoon.
On the street, Tan Haoyu lay injured on the ground, blood seeping out, while passersby coldly walked around him.
Zhu Ziqing happened to be passing by, and her heart sank.
"How are you? Wake up!" She rushed forward and called out.
When the stranger didn't respond, she took out her phone and dialed 120.
Then the ambulance arrived with sirens blaring.
Zhu Ziqing hurriedly got into the car, keeping a close eye on the medical staff as they performed emergency treatment on Tan Haoyu.
Upon arriving at the hospital, she busied herself registering and paying, without a moment's rest.
Tan Haoyu was taken into the emergency room, and she waited anxiously outside.
After the surgery, Tan Haoyu was transferred to a regular ward, and Zhu Ziqing went to buy food again.
"He needs to replenish his energy after waking up," she thought.
Tan Haoyu finally woke up, and Zhu Ziqing looked at him expectantly.
"What's your name? How are you feeling?" she asked.
"Tan Haoyu!" Tan Haoyu uttered three words and then fell silent.
He sat on the bed, quietly looking at Zhu Ziqing, his eyes deep and complex.
A week later, Tan Haoyu's injuries finally improved.
Zhu Ziqing brought food to the ward, only to find that Tan Haoyu was gone.
She searched everywhere and asked the nurses, only to learn that he had quietly left.
Zhu Ziqing stood in the empty hospital room, feeling both angry and disappointed.
"This man, I kindly saved him, but he didn't even say thank you, he just left without saying goodbye," she cursed inwardly.
Zhu Ziqing's best friend, Li Siqi, seeing that she was troubled by her love life, used her connections to find her a blind date.
With Li Siqi's help, Zhu Ziqing embarks on the path of blind dating again.
As she went on more and more blind dates, she became increasingly tired and weary.
That day, she dressed up carefully before going to the appointment.
He frowned slightly when he saw that his blind date was Tan Haoyu.
"It's you?"
Tan Haoyu smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Hello, Zhu Ziqing." Tan Haoyu's voice was deep and magnetic.
"Hello," Zhu Ziqing replied curtly.
Tan Haoyu gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her: "Please sit down."
Zhu Ziqing sat down, and Tan Haoyu looked at her and said, "You look very beautiful today."
"Thank you." Zhu Ziqing felt a little embarrassed by his gaze.
This time, Tan Haoyu was different from before. He was dressed appropriately, behaved elegantly, and exuded the charm of a mature man and a polite demeanor.
Zhu Ziqing wavered somewhat, but still had concerns in her heart.
Two days later, in the evening, Zhu Ziqing received an invitation from Tan Haoyu to a high-end, romantic restaurant.
The restaurant lights flickered, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Tan Haoyu looked at Zhu Ziqing with burning eyes and suddenly said, "Let's get married."
Zhu Ziqing was startled, and almost dropped her tableware.
Her eyes widened: "What? We've only known each other for two days. Marriage shouldn't be decided so hastily. Why are you suddenly saying this?"
Tan Haoyu frowned slightly, his eyes resolute.
He looked into Zhu Ziqing's eyes and said seriously, "I know this is sudden, and you may think I'm crazy."
But I've always believed that marriage doesn't necessarily require a long period of getting to know each other.
From the moment we met, I felt that we were kindred spirits, with similar understandings of marriage.
We all yearn for genuine feelings, unbound by worldly conditions and the passage of time.
I don't want to miss you, Zhu Ziqing.
Zhu Ziqing's heart pounded; Tan Haoyu's words were like pebbles thrown into a still lake.
She dared not look into Tan Haoyu's eyes; it seemed as if a mysterious world was drawing her in.
After returning home, Zhu Ziqing lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Tan Haoyu's words echoed in her mind, and she struggled internally.
Longing for a family and to end her lonely single life; but this decision was too hasty, like taking blind steps in the dark.
She didn't know what lay ahead.
But Grandma's expectant eyes and firm words echoed in my mind.
In the end, to put her grandmother at ease, the desire for happiness overcame her fear.
Zhu Ziqing agreed to Tan Haoyu's request.
They quickly registered their marriage, and then Zhu Ziqing took Tan Haoyu to meet her maternal grandmother.
In the ward, Grandma looked at Tan Haoyu with a satisfied expression.
"Good child, I'm relieved to entrust Qingqing to you. You two must take good care of yourselves and be happy."
Tan Haoyu held his grandmother's hand tightly: "Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of Qingqing."
At that moment, Zhu Ziqing burst into tears.
She knew this was her grandmother's wish, and it was also an important reason why she made the decision.
After meeting his grandmother, Tan Haoyu gave his salary card to Zhu Ziqing.
"This is my bank card, and the password is your birthday. You can buy whatever you want."
On the morning of our wedding, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
Zhu Ziqing woke up and looked at Tan Haoyu sleeping soundly beside her, her heart filled with complicated emotions.
"Do I really know him? I know nothing about him except his name and bank card," she pondered.
After marriage, Zhu Ziqing strived to be a perfect wife, managing the household impeccably.
Every morning, Tan Haoyu wakes up to the aroma of breakfast, with food prepared by Zhu Ziqing on the table.
"Honey, breakfast is ready," Zhu Ziqing called out gently.
"Thank you," Zhu Haoyu said, touched.
Zhu Ziqing replied with a smile, "You're welcome, it's what I should do."
As they spent more time together, Zhu Ziqing's curiosity about Tan Haoyu grew stronger.
"Who exactly is he? Why do I feel like he has many secrets?"
"Zhu Ziqing, what are you daydreaming about? Come and help me!" Liu Shiyan, a colleague, shouted at Zhu Ziqing, who was standing by the window in a daze.
At the company, preparations for the press conference are in full swing.
Zhu Ziqing should have been fully focused on her work, but Tan Haoyu's image kept popping into her mind.
She stared blankly at the documents, her mind elsewhere.
The press conference was a flurry of activity.
The staff were running around like ants on a hot plate.
Someone was nervously adjusting the lights, focusing them on key areas of the stage.
Someone was carefully inspecting the audio equipment and playing test audio.
Another group of people were setting up decorations around the stage, including flowers, ribbons, and display stands.
Every detail must be perfect.
Public Relations Manager Zhang Jianbing is checking the final press conference schedule with the Marketing Department.
His forehead was covered in sweat, and his sharp eyes scanned the documents.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the dazed Zhu Ziqing, and he immediately flew into a rage.
