Chapter 178 The tone is strange



Zhang Jizhou then spoke to his partner, wanting to hear his opinion.

Of course, he did not reveal that Fang Yan had been resurrected through another body.

This is absolutely unbelievable!

Moreover, if others find out about this, it will be detrimental to Fang Yan.

So from the moment Zhang Jizhou learned about this, he planned to take this secret to his grave and never thought of telling anyone.

Zhang Jizhou and his partner were transferred from different units to work together after the elite team was established.

This happened in the last year or so.

The partner only knew that Zhang Jizhou rarely wrote letters home before, but knew very little about his relationship with Fang Yan. So he asked Zhang Jizhou how he used to get along with Fang Yan.

Zhang Jizhou also told the truth, "When I got married through a blind date, I encountered an emergency mission, and I returned to my unit right after the wedding."

"I went back once more when my child was about one year old."

According to Fang Yan, she should have already developed depression after that trip back home.

She rarely talks, and she never speaks unless he asks her. So during that visit, they barely talked at all.

And then there was this trip back...

Only three times, no, to be precise, twice. The last time, when he got home, Fang Yanyan was already gone.

"Old Zhang, oh Old Zhang!"

After listening to Zhang Jizhou's explanation, his partner glared at him with exasperation, "No wonder your sister-in-law didn't want to reply to you. I wouldn't reply to you either."

Over the years, there hasn't been a single letter, just three brief reunions.

What woman would pay attention to him?

Zhang Jizhou pursed his lips, not revealing that it was Fang Yanyan's illiteracy that led her to suggest not writing to her.

Looking back, he realized that he had failed in his responsibilities as a husband, influenced by his parents' and the general public's views on marriage.

They definitely deserve to be criticized.

If Fang Yan hadn't directly shared her views on marriage this time, he probably wouldn't have realized so quickly that his own views on marriage were problematic.

Although his partner is not married yet, he works in political affairs, so he is thoughtful and has more of a knack for being meticulous than a straightforward, rough guy like Zhang Jizhou.

To help Zhang Jizhou save his marriage, his partner thoughtfully sought advice from young men in the throes of first love, learning how they usually dated.

Finally, a series of things that Zhang Jizhou should pay attention to when getting along with his wife were listed.

One of the rules is to pay attention to your tone when making a phone call, using a gentle and affectionate tone.

Clearly, Zhang Jizhou's performance just now did not meet his partner's expectations, and he was "scolded".

This led to the scene that Fang Yan heard on her end: a very faint sound, yet she couldn't make out what was happening on the other end of the phone.

Thinking he was busy, Fang Yan, unsure of what to say next, blurted out, "Are you busy? Then go ahead and do your thing."

Anyway, I made the call and told him what happened.

"Not busy, not at all."

Fearing that Fang Yan would hang up the phone, Zhang Jizhou said hurriedly.

His partner whispered a reminder to him, "Watch your tone."

Zhang Jizhou, who had no idea what "gentle pampering" meant: ...

"How are you...?" After a brief silence of one or two seconds, he asked in a strange tone.

The reason I say his tone was strange is because I would say his tone was gentle, right?

However, it carries a bit of that straight-man, rough-and-tumble style, a direct and straightforward approach;

To put it simply, do you mean spoiled?

But it seems like it was all put on.

And it's the kind of act that doesn't look real at all.

Fang Yan felt uncomfortable listening to this, but she didn't know what Zhang Jizhou was up to, so she simply ignored her discomfort and said, "Very good."

Didn't she just address this issue?

Was she not clear enough?

Or did he not hear me clearly?

This time, she said two words concisely and clearly, making sure he could hear her clearly.

Zhang Jizhou: ...

How can this phone call continue?

He was still thinking that he needed to meet Fang Yan's requirements as soon as possible so that he could continue their marriage.

But the conversation just wouldn't go on...

"Little Fish is here too, why don't you say a few words to him?"

Fang Yan and Zhang Jizhou had the same thought: after these few dry words, they didn't know what to say next.

Holding the microphone like an idiot, waiting for the other person to start a conversation, was so awkward.

After hastily saying this, she handed the microphone to Xiaoyuzai.

During their brief time together last time, the little fish had a lot of complaints about the "father" creature.

He didn't want to talk to his dad, but this was the first time in his life he had ever spoken on the phone.

He felt excited and curious, and mimicking his mother's earlier manner of speaking, he tentatively spoke into the microphone, "Dad?"

"Um."

Zhang Jizhou quickly switched from his "gentle and doting" act back to his usual serious and aloof demeanor.

This sound immediately reminded Little Fish of how his father always glared at him and said that he was no good here or there.

The little guy suddenly got angry, grabbed the microphone, and said sullenly, "Dad, you said we are men and we should take care of Mom."

But Mom was bullied, and you didn't even know. You're not a real man!

After saying that, he was afraid that his father would pop out of the microphone and beat him up.

He quickly handed the phone to Fang Yan and then dashed off to find Qi Bei.

He was thinking to himself, "What if Dad jumps out of the phone and beats him up?"

He then let Qibei bite him.

Well, it's probably because he's been having such a good time with Qibei lately that the little guy has forgotten that Qibei was brought home by his own father.

Fang Yan never expected that Xiao Yuzai, who usually seemed normal, would remember every time she was bullied by Zhang Laowu.

Then he went to his father to "settle accounts".

"That... the child is still young, you don't need to worry about what he says."

Fearing that Zhang Jizhou might mistakenly think that she was the one teaching the children this way, Fang Yan said awkwardly.

The child's naive and straightforward words made Zhang Jizhou feel a little uncomfortable. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Besides framing you this time, has he done anything else to bully you?"

To be honest, Zhang Laowu did other things to bully her...

The fact that he sent Li Ermei and Gao Meijiao to make their presence known to her can't be called bullying; at most, it's just to annoy her a little.

He conspired with Fang Yaojin to lure Xiaoyuzai up the mountain, intending to confuse her mind and achieve their goals.

It can't really be called bullying her.

So Fang Yan didn't say anything about these things. "No, I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm not so easily bullied."

Besides, even if she told Zhang Jizhou all these things, what difference would it make?

Given the nature of his job, he can't come back in time to help her bully him back.

Are you suggesting we write this down in a notebook so we can settle scores later?

Fang Yan is not that kind of person!
