Chapter 202 Striving to Earn Money to Buy a Car and a House

Zhu Ziqing took a deep breath, and a smile returned to her face. "I will continue to work hard and strive for the happiness that belongs to me."

Li Siqi smiled and put her arm around her shoulder, "Then let's take more orders and work hard to earn money so we can live a better life!"

Zhu Ziqing nodded, "Okay, let's work hard together!"

Zhu Ziqing sat on the sofa in her studio, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands, with a slight smile on her lips.

Seeing this, Li Siqi also laughed.

"Ziqing, you seem to be in a good mood today?" Li Siqi leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with gossip.

Zhu Ziqing nodded, a hint of longing in her eyes. "Yes, I'm thinking, shouldn't we work hard to earn money, buy a car, and then buy a house?"

Li Siqi slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "That's a great idea! Let's work together and strive to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible!"

Zhu Ziqing put down her teacup and said seriously, "I recently did some calculations. Taking a taxi every day is too expensive. It's better to buy a car. In the long run, it will save more money."

Li Siqi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, taking a taxi is not only expensive, but also inconvenient."

Zhu Ziqing continued, "Moreover, taxis can't enter the villa area, and it's exhausting to walk in every time. It's so inconvenient."

She paused, then said firmly, "I also want to prove to Grandpa Tan that I have my own financial strength and don't need to depend on anyone."

“I also plan to buy a house in the future to ensure financial independence and even support Haoyu.”

Over the next few days, Zhu Ziqing was incredibly enthusiastic, throwing herself wholeheartedly into the wedding dress design.

"Ziqing, have you been working too hard lately?" Li Siqi looked at her with some concern.

Zhu Ziqing smiled and said, "I want every customer to be satisfied and attract more orders through word of mouth."

She touched her belly and said gently, "But when I'm busy at lunchtime, you'll have to order takeout for me. After all, I have to think about the baby in my belly now."

Li Siqi rolled her eyes. "Okay, pregnant lady!"

Over the weekend, Li Siqi accompanied Zhu Ziqing to several 4S stores.

"A car with a budget of over 200,000 yuan, is that alright?" Li Siqi asked as they walked.

Zhu Ziqing nodded, "Yes, I've already picked out a few models. Let's go for a test drive."

They went straight to their target brand, and Zhu Ziqing immediately took a liking to a particular car, becoming even more satisfied after the test drive.

"This is it!" Zhu Ziqing made the decision.

When it came time to pay, she readily made the down payment and planned to pick up the car in a couple of days.

Just as Zhu Ziqing stepped out of the 4S store, her phone rang.

"Ziqing, where are you? I'll come pick you up." Tan Haoyu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhu Ziqing smiled and said, "No need. I just bought a car and I can pick it up in a couple of days."

Tan Haoyu was a little surprised, but quickly regained his composure. "Oh? That's great. Do you need me to go with you to pick up the car?"

"No need, Siqi can stay with me." Zhu Ziqing glanced at Li Siqi beside her.

Li Siqi waved her hand knowingly, "I'll leave first, you two can continue chatting."

Tan Haoyu drove to pick up Zhu Ziqing and couldn't help but ask on the way, "Why did you suddenly want to buy a car?"

Zhu Ziqing replied with a smile, "I've made some money, so I want to buy myself something big. Besides, I've been working on my driver's license for so long, it's time to use it."

Tan Haoyu sighed, "I've been too busy lately and haven't learned enough about your situation."

Zhu Ziqing comforted her, "It's okay, I know a lot, I can remind you."

When the light was red, Tan Haoyu turned his head and gently kissed Zhu Ziqing's forehead.

“You seem a little different lately,” he said in a low voice.

Zhu Ziqing blushed and nudged him, "Focus on driving."

After the car started, Zhu Ziqing suddenly said, "Haoyu, I have good news to tell you when we get home."

Tan Haoyu raised an eyebrow. "Can't we say now?"

Zhu Ziqing shook her head, "For safety reasons, I'll tell you when I get home."

Tan Haoyu smiled helplessly, "You're just teasing me."

Zhu Ziqing winked mischievously, "Consider it punishment for how busy you are with work."

Tan Haoyu was amused by her appearance, but his heart was filled with curiosity.

"Okay, we'll talk about it when we get home." He stepped on the gas, and the car sped off towards home.

The car slowly drove home, the interior quiet except for the slight hum of the engine.

Tan Haoyu gripped the steering wheel intently, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, while Zhu Ziqing sat quietly in the passenger seat, her gaze passing by through the car window, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Memories of her time with Tan Haoyu kept flashing through her mind; those heartwarming moments, like twinkling stars, illuminated her heart.

Tan Haoyu is usually not very talkative, but every move he makes and every look he gives Zhu Ziqing brings her immense peace of mind and warmth.

Tan Haoyu has his own unique views on love. He believes that love between adults is often swayed by realistic factors, and those romantic fantasies are not realistic.

Even so, he made a firm promise to Zhu Ziqing.

"Ziqing, I won't easily break up with you. You are the woman I've chosen to spend my life with." Tan Haoyu's deep and powerful voice broke the silence in the car.

Zhu Ziqing turned her head and looked at Tan Haoyu's profile, her heart filled with emotion. She knew the weight of this promise and cherished Tan Haoyu's trust in her immensely.

However, beautiful memories are always overshadowed by the shadows of reality.

Zhu Ziqing's thoughts drifted back to the words Grandpa Tan had said to her.

She understood why Grandpa Tan opposed their being together; it was simply because of her background and those unbearable past experiences.

"I shouldn't have to endure all this because of things I can't choose," Zhu Ziqing thought to herself, a hint of stubbornness in her eyes. "I will never give up like this. I must protect my happiness and marriage."

With this thought in mind, Zhu Ziqing felt a sense of relief and decided to face the problem head-on instead of running away. She took a deep breath, turned to look at Tan Haoyu, and asked earnestly, "Haoyu, do you still stand by those promises you made before?"

Tan Haoyu was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He didn't understand why Zhu Ziqing would suddenly ask such a question.

But he answered without hesitation, "Of course it counts, Ziqing. I mean every word I say to you."

Zhu Ziqing, however, did not seem satisfied with this answer. She continued to press, "Are you sure? You're not just saying that offhand, are you?"

Tan Haoyu stopped the car, turned around, looked at Zhu Ziqing with a firm gaze, and said seriously, "Ziqing, you are the only wife I will ever have in my life, and my promise will always stand."

Seeing Tan Haoyu's serious expression, Zhu Ziqing's last trace of doubt vanished.

She believed in Tan Haoyu's promise and in their future. Smiling, she nestled into his arms.
