Chapter 213 Listen to the Chapter Obediently and Follow Us

Soon after Zhu Ziqing became pregnant, Tan Haoyu couldn't wait to share the good news with his family.

The entire Tan family was thrilled, especially Tan Xiaoxuan.

That's why she specially represented her family and rushed over in a hurry, just to take good care of Zhu Ziqing.

As soon as Tan Xiaoxuan saw Zhu Ziqing, she hopped to the bedside like a happy little bird.

She carefully pressed her ear against Zhu Ziqing's bulging belly, her eyes lighting up with excitement. "Wow, I want to hear the baby's heartbeat!"

Zhu Ziqing smiled gently at her and patted Tan Xiaoxuan's head, saying, "Take your time, there's no rush."

After a while, Tan Xiaoxuan looked up, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Sister-in-law, can we find out now whether the baby is a boy or a girl?"

Zhu Ziqing smiled and shook her head: "I won't check anymore. I love them both, whether it's a boy or a girl."

Tan Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously and said, "I also think girls are better, they're so considerate. Haoyu's personality is like a block of wood."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but laugh: "He has changed a lot now, and he is becoming more and more caring towards others."

That evening, Tan Haoyu arrived at the bedroom early. He sat gently on the edge of the bed and spoke softly to Zhu Ziqing's belly.

He told the baby a story and played soft music. He read the story in a deep, magnetic voice, as if the baby could already understand it.

Looking at the scene before her, Zhu Ziqing felt a surge of happiness and warmth. She felt that Tan Haoyu had truly changed completely because of this child.

As the days went by, Tan Xiaoxuan suddenly approached Zhu Ziqing with a troubled expression: "Sister-in-law, I'm about to join a film crew. The place is really too remote, and the conditions are terrible. Sister-in-law, could you come with me for a walk? Just to help me relax."

Zhu Ziqing readily agreed without hesitation: "Sure, I'm getting bored at home, and the baby is stable now, so it would be nice to go out for a stroll."

In fact, Zhu Ziqing's pregnancy was in excellent condition. She could eat and sleep well, had plenty of energy, and walked quite briskly when she took walks.

Zhu Ziqing and Tan Xiaoxuan excitedly began preparing for their shopping trip. They took out clothes from the closet one by one, chatting animatedly about which one suited them best.

It's already early August, and Shenzhen is incredibly hot right now, like a giant steamer.

However, this was not a problem for the Tan family at all. Driver Lao Zheng had driven the car to the door early, and as soon as they got in, a cool breeze from the air conditioner hit them.

Moreover, Lao Zheng drove the car directly to the entrance of the mall, allowing them to go inside and enjoy the air conditioning as soon as they got out of the car.

Zhu Ziqing strolled through the bustling shopping mall, her gaze fixed on the various baby products section.

Her eyes sparkled with tenderness as she lingered in front of rows of adorable baby clothes, her fingers gently caressing the soft, delicate fabric.

Tan Xiaoxuan, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Brother Haoyu has prepared everything in advance, and even the nursery is decorated."

Zhu Ziqing blinked, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "Xiaoxuan, that's different. This is my first time being a mother, and I always want to personally choose things that the baby will like."

The two continued shopping in the mall. Zhu Ziqing would look at the various strollers and imagine the cute baby lying inside. She would also pick up a colorful toy and gently shake it, as if she could already see the baby laughing.

As they walked, Zhu Ziqing suddenly stopped and began counting on her fingers intently. Tan Xiaoxuan leaned over and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you calculating?"

Zhu Ziqing said with bright eyes, "I'm calculating the baby's due date. I've calculated it, and it's expected to be October 1st, which is a national holiday."

Tan Xiaoxuan glanced at her phone and said, "It's only early August, there are still more than two months to go. Sister-in-law, the baby will definitely be super cute when it's born!"

In fact, all the necessary items had been prepared, but Zhu Ziqing and Tan Xiaoxuan still enjoyed the shopping experience.

The mall was bustling with people, and the lively atmosphere seemed to be celebrating the impending arrival of a new life.

After walking around for a while, Zhu Ziqing felt extremely thirsty. She gently touched her protruding belly and said to Tan Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan, I'm a little thirsty. Let's go to the rest area and sit for a while."

Tan Xiaoxuan nodded quickly: "Sister-in-law, please sit here and rest. I'll go buy some water."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Shortly after Tan Xiaoxuan left, two men quietly sat down on either side of Zhu Ziqing, instantly sandwiching her tightly between them.

One of the men said in a cold, hard voice in her ear, "Be a good girl and come with us."

At the same time, a sharp dagger was secretly pressed against her waist.

Zhu Ziqing was wearing a thin white maternity dress. The cold dagger was pressed against her waist. She felt a chill instantly spread throughout her body, which made her tremble violently.

Her heart pounded, and her mind raced as she frantically tried to figure out why these people had kidnapped her—was it for money? Or for revenge?

But she was so nervous that her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't think of anyone who would cause trouble for her and her son.

She looked around in fright and happened to see an elderly couple passing by. She hoped that the elderly couple would notice the unusual situation.

But the elderly couple simply walked by leisurely, completely unaware of Zhu Ziqing's dangerous situation.

There were security guards patrolling nearby, but she didn't dare call for help.

If she angered the hostage-taker, the dagger could be plunged directly into her and her baby's bodies.

Zhu Ziqing tried her best to calm herself down. She thought that no matter what, she had to find a way to leave a clue for Tan Xiaoxuan before she was taken away.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself, and then mustered the courage to try to speak, but when she opened her mouth, her voice trembled: "You..."

The hostage-taker interrupted her menacingly: "Stop talking nonsense, or this dagger will be used without mercy."

Zhu Ziqing was so frightened that she quickly shut her mouth, and the courage she had just mustered vanished instantly.

Forget about leaving any clues, she didn't even dare to breathe loudly anymore, and could only let the two kidnappers slowly carry her away.
