Chapter 254 Sister, stay with me tonight.

Zhu Ziqing paused for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "No, I have to go to work this afternoon."

Little Qingqing ignored it and continued to eat the cake heartily, which resulted in her getting cake all over her face again.

Zhu Ziqing sighed helplessly, picked up a tissue again, and helped her wipe it clean: "Why are you so clumsy, little one?"

"Sister Ziqing, I really want you to stay with me." Little Qingqing suddenly stopped what she was doing, her eyes full of grievance, her little mouth pouting, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

Zhu Ziqing's heart softened, and she quickly coaxed, "Okay, okay, don't be upset. I'll call you tonight, okay?"

Xiao Qingqing pouted, her eyes stubbornly fixed on Zhu Ziqing. She knew in her heart that her father had tasked her with "tricking" Zhu Ziqing into coming home—a mission she had to complete!

Thinking of this, she used her trump card, blinking her eyes at Zhu Ziqing, her voice soft and sweet: "Sister Ziqing, I really want you to stay with me! Dad's not home, I'm so lonely..."

Looking at Xiao Qingqing's pitiful appearance, Zhu Ziqing's mind was in turmoil. She did have to go to work, but seeing Xiao Qingqing's aggrieved eyes, she really couldn't bear to refuse.

Seeing her hesitation, Xiao Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she came up with another "perfect solution": "How about this, I'll accompany you to work, and then you'll accompany me home, okay?"

She blinked her big eyes, full of expectation, and deliberately tugged at Zhu Ziqing's hand, pleading, "Sister Ziqing, please stay with me!"

Zhu Ziqing was completely overwhelmed by her and could only sigh helplessly, "Fine, you little rascal, I just can't do anything with you!"

Xiao Qingqing cheered instantly, grabbed Zhu Ziqing's arm, and smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescents: "I knew it, Sister Ziqing is the best!"

Seeing her happy expression, Zhu Ziqing felt a warmth in her heart. She thought for a moment; her father should be alright, and Tan Haoyu wasn't home either. Spending time with this little girl shouldn't be a problem.

She gently patted Xiao Qingqing's head and said with a smile, "Alright, hurry up and wipe your face clean, otherwise people will think I'm bullying you!"

Little Qingqing giggled and nodded happily.

……

Xiao Xingyi had just gotten off the plane and hadn't even left the airport when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly—it was Tan Haoyu.

"Hello, Mr. Tan, is there anything urgent?" Xiao Xingyi's voice was slightly tired, but his tone remained calm.

Tan Haoyu's voice on the other end of the phone was low and tinged with suppressed urgency: "Xingyi, have you arrived in Pengcheng?"

"Just got off the plane, what's wrong?" Xiao Xingyi keenly noticed the unusual tone in Tan Haoyu's voice.

Tan Haoyu was silent for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, before finally saying slowly, "Ziqing... she has lost her memory."

Xiao Xingyi's hand trembled violently, and he almost dropped his phone. His heart clenched instantly, even more so than when he heard the news of Zhu Ziqing's "death" three years ago.

At that time, he was still abroad, and by the time he learned the news, it was too late; he didn't even get to see his sister one last time.

The Tan family handled the funeral arrangements hastily, and he didn't even have a chance to say goodbye properly.

Xiao Xingyi still feels resentful when he recalls his conflict with Tan Haoyu.

"What did you say? Ziqing has lost her memory?" Xiao Xingyi's voice rose several decibels, his emotions barely contained.

Tan Haoyu sighed, his voice filled with helplessness: "I know you'll be angry, but there's nothing I can do about it..."

"Something that can't be helped?" Xiao Xingyi sneered, his tone full of sarcasm. "Three years ago you told me Ziqing was dead, and now you're telling me she's lost her memory. Tan Haoyu, what exactly are you up to?"

Three years ago, Xiao Xingyi received a call from Tan Haoyu informing him of Zhu Ziqing's accident. He rushed back to China, only to find the funeral arranged by the Tan family.

He was furious and had a huge argument with Tan Haoyu, even suspecting that the Tan family was hiding something.

However, just when he was almost in despair, Zhu Ziqing miraculously appeared, only she had lost her memory.

"Xingyi, I know you have resentment in your heart, but Ziqing is really back, isn't that a good thing?" Tan Haoyu's voice was tinged with weariness.

Xiao Xingyi remained silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

He knew Tan Haoyu wasn't having an easy time either; Zhu Ziqing losing her memory was definitely not what he wanted. He just needed an outlet, and Tan Haoyu just happened to walk into his trap.

"Okay, I've calmed down." Xiao Xingyi softened his tone, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "Tell me, what's the next step?"

"Xiao Qingqing will bring Ziqing home tonight. Come to my house to see her and talk to her a lot." Tan Haoyu's voice was filled with anticipation.

Xiao Xingyi was taken aback: "What about you? Why aren't you going?"

Tan Haoyu was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm on a business trip and not in Pengcheng."

Xiao Xingyi sneered: "President Tan, you can't fool me with that excuse. You clearly don't want Ziqing to see you, right?"

Tan Haoyu didn't deny it, but instead sighed: "Xingyi, you know Ziqing. If I were home, she definitely wouldn't have come back with Xiaoqingqing. I can only let Xiaoqingqing spend time with her alone, taking advantage of Ziqing's concern for Xiaoqingqing to get her to interact with us more."

Xiao Xingyi fell silent. He knew Tan Haoyu was right; Zhu Ziqing was stubborn and sensitive, and Tan Haoyu's appearance would only make her more resistant.

He sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Alright, I'll listen to you. But you have to give me a chance to have a proper talk with Ziqing."

"By the way, Mr. Tan, I heard you recently got a new Xiaomi car. Can I borrow it for a couple of days to show off?" Xiao Xingyi suddenly changed the subject, his tone slightly teasing.

Tan Haoyu paused for a moment, then chuckled, "You little rascal, you never miss an opportunity to tease me. Fine, if you can cure Zhu Ziqing, you can borrow the Xiaomi car, but remember, don't cause me any trouble."

Xiao Xingyi laughed heartily: "Don't worry, when have I, Xiao Xingyi, ever acted without restraint?"

He hung up the phone, a complex look in his eyes.

Zhu Ziqing has lost her memory, which is indeed a thorny issue, but Xiao Xingyi doesn't care.

In his view, as long as the person returns safely, past memories are not that important.

Tan Haoyu is so outstanding, it's impossible for Zhu Ziqing not to like him. As long as they spend more time together, her memories will naturally return.

“Whether Ziqing remembers us or not, we are her closest people,” Xiao Xingyi murmured, his eyes filled with determination.

Xiao Xingyi felt much relieved when he saw that Tan Haoyu had agreed to his request.

He looked into the distance, a mischievous smile playing on his lips: "Mr. Tan, I heard your new Xiaomi is a limited edition with amazing performance. I think driving it around Shenzhen will definitely attract the attention of a bunch of beautiful women."
