Chapter 61 Princess Ji, is it really necessary to change your expression so quickly?

In which aspect?

“We specifically assigned people to monitor the flow of funds, undisclosed information, and the procedural movements of official departments.”

Assistant Liang exclaimed, "So you're saying she grabbed you, and now you're going to grab her by the neck too?"

Zhong Yan kicked his back foot: "Why say such harsh things? I'm just showing her my usefulness when necessary."

——

Ji Tanyuan returned to the villa, took a shower, and then went to the study to have a video conference with Zhang Ziqing. Zhang Ziqing is the CEO and legal representative of the newly established company Jinglong Shares, and he is currently recruiting technical talent in the United States.

Ji Tanyuan said directly, "Money is not a problem. We can offer the highest price in the industry, which may include equity gifts or promotion to partners. We will do everything we can to poach them."

Zhang Ziqing nodded, drying her hair. "I understand. Lu Ke told me a while ago that you approached Gengxu Capital. I thought you would seek financing from Convolution Capital."

Ji Tanyuan raised an eyebrow: "Cheng Gengxu, the founder of Gengxu Capital, has more influence and background in mainland China than Juanji."

"Can it compare to your husband's family background?" Anyone who has been in the upper echelons of Yanjing knows how prestigious the Zhong family is.

A prominent family with famous figures throughout the generations.

Ji Tanyuan: "I can't compare, but I don't want to play with him."

"Then what if we simply use Mrs. Zhong's identity?"

Ji Tanyuan shook her head, "What if we get divorced in the future? Jinglong Shares won't recover in three to five years."

Zhang Ziqing was surprised, "You've actually thought about divorce?"

Ji Tanyuan sighed and leaned back: "Actually, I thought about it when we got married. Once the company went public, stabilized, and the equity was clearly divided, we would separate after we both achieved our goals."

"And now?"

Ji Tanyuan sat in the dimly lit study, with only a desk lamp, a lit screen, and Ji Tanyuan's eyes. Her hair was loose behind her, and she smiled slowly. Perhaps she was infected by the season outside the door, but there was a kind of autumnal melancholy in the gentle tranquility of the time.

"Yes, I do."

Ji Tanyuan fell silent after speaking, until she heard a dog barking outside the door, which meant that Zhong Yan had returned.

Zhong Yan went upstairs and ran into Ji Tanyuan coming out of the study. He was a few steps down the stairs, looking up at her, smiling faintly. His brows and eyes were gentle, but they seemed to hold a thousand emotions.

"Wife."

Ji Tanyuan was stunned for a moment. The sudden, intimate address in the middle of the night left her speechless.

Why don't you call me "husband" anymore?

Before Ji Tanyuan could react, Zhong Yan had already wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her against the wall. He bent down and gently kissed her ear, then nibbled on her earlobe, his voice husky and sexy, "Wife, you have to call me husband."

A barrage of kisses ran from her ear to her collarbone.

"Zhong Yan, you're drunk." Her body was burning up, and she tried to push him away, but the man held her against the wall with one hand.

"You called my name once today, could you call it again?"

Ji Tanyuan opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound; she couldn't utter a call.

That requires either 100% conviction in acting or genuine sincerity, and right now, she has neither.

Ji Tanyuan remained silent, while Zhong Yan nestled in the crook of her neck and did not move.

Finally, she muttered, "You really went too far."

He didn't say what was excessive.

“I’m not good either.” Then Zhong Yan added, “It’s not your fault for going too far.”

After he finished speaking, he straightened up, his face tired and tinged with a faint sadness.

"Let's go to sleep. I'll sleep in the guest room."

Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips and nodded.

He then left without looking back.

Zhong Yan stood behind her for a long time, so now there isn't even a word of false comfort?

Princess Ji, do you have to change your expression so quickly?

At 2 a.m., the door to the master bedroom opened.

Zhong Yan stood by Ji Tanyuan's bedside, looking down at her sleeping soundly, while he couldn't sleep.

When Ji Tanyuan woke up the next day, she snuggled into someone's arms as usual and casually slipped her hand inside her pajamas to touch her abs.

Just as I was about to go back to sleep, I suddenly opened my eyes.

wrong.

She looked up and saw the man's chin. Wasn't that Zhong Yan?

Didn't they say he was sleeping in the guest room?

She pushed the person away, sat up, and looked around. This wasn't the master bedroom.

Zhong Yan was nudged and woke up. With his eyes still closed, he said, "Why aren't you touching me anymore?"

Ji Tanyuan: "How did I end up in your bed?"

Zhong Yan hummed in agreement. "If you're not in my bed, where are you?"

Ji Tanyuan: "You carried me here?"

"You came here on your own," Zhong Yan lied with his eyes closed.

Ji Tanyuan was furious. "I have no idea which guest room you're sleeping in. Where am I supposed to find you?"

Zhong Yan propped her head up with one hand and looked at her with a smile: "Who knows? We'll just look for them one by one."

Ji Tanyuan pointed at him, stammering for a while, before she could even speak, when suddenly she realized something, "Oh no, puppy."

She ran out barefoot. Zhong Yan frowned. He had originally planned to find an opportunity to be intimate with her, but who knew that Ji Tanyuan had run out again because of the dog.

However, when he went over and saw the bedroom in such a mess, he fell completely silent.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you say she wouldn't destroy the house?"

Ji Tanyuan was already used to Big's house-destroying antics, but she felt a little embarrassed because of Zhong Yan. "Big, how can someone not cause some damage?"

"It's just that she has a lot of energy that she can't release, and we adults should understand and be considerate of her."

"Besides, if I'm in the master bedroom and she wakes me up, I'll get up and go play with her, and she won't destroy the house. So, who told you to carry me to the guest bedroom?"

Zhong Yan glanced at her sideways and said, "You're quite good at turning the tables."

Ji Tanyuan nudged the dog with her leg, letting Puppy crawl behind her. Zhong Yan raised his chin and said, "What are you hiding for? You dare to do it but not admit it? Whoever made the mess should clean it up."

Ji Tanyuan: "She's a dog. I'll have someone come up and clean it."

"I already said that outsiders are not allowed to enter unless it is an emergency. I'm only letting her in because of you."

After saying that, he took the dog by the leash and said, "Puppy, come here and put this back in its place, or you won't get any food."

The dog understood the last sentence, and she whined and tried to charm Ji Tanyuan. How could Ji Tanyuan bear to do that? "Are you even speaking human language?"

Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow: "Even if I speak human language to Puppy, she won't understand."

Ji Tanyuan: "..."

She remained silent, thinking that Zhong Yan was truly insane.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she tentatively called out in a low voice, "Husband?"

Zhong Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at her: "What did you call me?"

Ji Tanyuan cursed the bitch in her heart, but smiled sweetly and said, "Honey, thank you for cleaning."

After she finished speaking, she looked a little uncomfortable. She used to be able to say something without batting an eye.

She grabbed the dog and fled, saying, "I'm going to walk the dog."

Yulong Guanzhi is a large residential community that integrates a park and villas. It has a beautiful green environment and even a lawn specifically for pets.

Ji Tanyuan was playing frisbee with her dog on the lawn, lost in thought as she played. The morning dew reflected the sunlight, and the weather was slightly cool. She was wearing a white windbreaker and black sweatpants, squatting on the lawn, watching the dog playing wildly.

This morning she finally confirmed one thing:

Sleeping with Zhong Yan and touching his abs has become a habit.

She frowned. How did she develop the habit of touching people's abs?

What to do after a divorce? Do I still need to maintain my abs?

How could she allow herself to have such a hobby? That thing doesn't even feel as good as cats or dogs.

After she finished speaking, she waved, and Puppy ran over. Ji Tanyuan reached out and stroked the dog's head, smiling as she said, "That's right, the dog is so cute."
