Chapter 86 Jealousy?

Shen Xiling stood up. "I understand."

You can't trust anyone; you have to investigate yourself.

After leaving Shenxi Mausoleum.

Shen Xichen coughed twice, his face cool and his expression still calm and composed.

Then he had someone prepare a car and went to the old house.

...

Zhong Yan gripped Ji Tanyuan's wrist, his thumb rubbing the inside of her wrist.

Ji Tanyuan noticed that Zhong Yan was increasingly fond of touching her inappropriately.

They used to only be intimate in bed, but now they hold hands, hug each other, and kiss even off the bed. She was surprised; when did they become so harmonious and intimate?

It was the kind of intimacy that required no acting skills, it was so natural and normal, so logical, that it suddenly made Ji Tanyuan alert.

This kind of ambiguous tenderness is more thrilling than any vigorous sexual activity.

Ji Tanyuan paused for two seconds, lost in thought, before pulling her wrist away.

fail.

The man gripped it even tighter.

Still somewhat surprised: "What's wrong?"

Ji Tanyuan: "I need to check my phone."

Zhong Yan glanced at the phone she was holding in her other hand. "Weren't you looking at it the whole time?"

Ji Tanyuan choked, "I'll switch hands, but that won't work."

Zhong Yan laughed, his handsome features enough to make anyone blush. "Sure, let's switch hands."

Then he actually let go, and saw Ji Tanyuan holding the phone in her left hand.

Ji Tanyuan put down her phone, then put her hand behind her back, refusing to let him hold it.

Zhong Yan laughed and turned to look at Ji Tanyuan: "Princess Ji, can't I hold your hand yet?"

Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips and looked down at her phone.

In this contest, the enemy retreats while we advance. That's exactly how Zhong Yan is doing now. The more Ji Tanyuan tries to dodge, the closer he gets, not letting a single detail slip by.

He had a feeling that Ji Tanyuan had already revealed some of her true self, or rather, that she was no longer in the mood to act.

"You might be able to ask me."

Ji Tanyuan looked at him: "What are you asking?"

"Ask what you want to ask."

Ji Tanyuan looked at him suspiciously, and Zhong Yan said, "Consider this a New Year's gift for you."

Ji Tanyuan then added, "Are you planning to buy up Furong Real Estate's stock tomorrow, taking advantage of the sharp drop to buy at the bottom?"

"Yes, it was just decided in today's meeting."

“I understand,” Ji Tanyuan said.

"Thank you for your New Year's gift."

Zhong Yan looked at her, "What about mine?"

Ji Tanyuan exclaimed, "Yours?"

She pulled a candy box out of her bag; it was for preventing low blood sugar.

Here, yours.

Zhong Yan looked down at the candy she handed him. It was a small, square blue box. When he opened it, he found candies the size of fingernails, in all sorts of colors.

He made a purple one.

He then put it in his mouth, and with one hand he held the back of Ji Tanyuan's head, not allowing her to back down even a little, and kissed her lips.

Ji Tanyuan stared in shock, trying to push him away, but the man pulled her into his arms instead.

I tossed and turned in bed.

This kiss was sensual, tender yet forceful, drawing one in and causing them to succumb to its allure, drowning in its deep, enchanting embrace.

Ji Tanyuan's mind was spinning; all she could think of was grape-flavored candy.

Zhong Yan licked her lips. "A sweet New Year's gift, I really like it."

Ji Tanyuan stared at him blankly, "Zhong Yan?"

What's wrong with him?

What's wrong with him?

How can she perform when he's like this? Is she supposed to compete by having a longer tongue or a deeper kiss?

How should she respond and how should she retaliate?

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

Zhong Yan was somewhat dissatisfied.

After saying that, he pinched her chin, his eyes unfathomable: "Because you don't want some people to hear and be hurt, right?"

Ji Tanyuan grabbed his wrist. "Are you jealous?"

Zhong Yan frowned, then chuckled, "Jealous?"

He asked a question in return.

Then he added in a low voice, "Jealous."

I couldn't help but feel jealous!

He lowered his brows, remaining very close to Ji Tanyuan, his lips seemingly cupping her lips, which were now rosy from being kissed.

The scents of fir and rose intertwined as a hand with distinct knuckles slowly moved from her chin to her face.

Even in the dimly lit carriage, the man's profile remained sharply defined, and the sudden illumination from outside the car allowed Ji Tanyuan to see the depth in his eyes.

The divine light appears and disappears, sometimes yin, sometimes yang.

Ji Tanyuan did not speak; the only sound between them was their breathing.

Before Ji Tanyuan could back down...

Zhong Yan stood up and stepped back, sitting back in his seat. He looked out the window, showing Ji Tanyuan the back of his head.

In the past, Ji Tanyuan would definitely have turned the tables and stepped forward to provoke him by saying, "Honey, are you really jealous?"

But the lingering confusion and panic from before hadn't faded, and she hadn't recovered from the shock of Zhong Yan's sudden, ambiguous advances, so she also started to space out.

The two didn't exchange another word until they reached their destination.

Tianchi Club is a high-end VIP-only bar with a complicated but discreet membership process.

However, Zhong Yan was not a member at all, yet he was able to enter the top-floor private room without any hindrance.

The waiter bent down and pushed open the door, and the appearance of the two people made the inside quiet for a moment.

Zhong Yan placed his hand on Ji Tanyuan's waist in an intimate manner and stepped forward to shake hands with a person who came up to him. The person didn't look very old, was wearing a black shirt, and was about the same height as Zhong Yan.

Zhong Yan bowed his head to introduce him to Ji Tanyuan. Ji Tanyuan was surprised and looked up at him. "The person behind Yuanfeng Bank, so young?"

The man smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhong, I was away on a business trip and didn't have a chance to attend the wedding. Fortunately, I'm here now. I've also brought the wedding gift."
