Chapter 165 Zhong Yan said expressionlessly: "I maintain my figure."
Ji Tanyuan's fingertips were burning hot, and her eyes were burning hot too.
She had her eyes closed.
Zhong Yan chuckled and kissed her thin, light pink eyelids.
Then he picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. Ji Tanyuan was already drowsy; she was too tired.
But Zhong Yan wasn't tired. Ji Tanyuan reached out and grasped his wrist. "That's enough. I have to go to work tomorrow."
Zhong Yan put his arm around her waist, placed her on the ground, hugged her from behind, and kissed her ear.
"Are you confused? It's only 6 p.m. You'll get a good night's sleep tonight."
Ji Tanyuan gritted her teeth, resting her hand on the sink, staring at him in the mirror, her voice filled with rage: "You really are..."
9 PM
Ji Tanyuan sat on the sofa with a bowl of seafood porridge and several dishes in front of her.
Zhong Yan made them all himself.
Ji Tanyuan was exhausted. She had only slept for half an hour before being woken up to drink some porridge.
Otherwise, an empty stomach is bad for your digestive system.
Ji Tanyuan looked down at the porridge being fed to her mouth, then glanced at Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan: "Do you want some or not? Aren't you hungry?"
Ji Tanyuan opened her mouth and drank the porridge.
"It tastes awful."
Zhong Yan chuckled, clearly unconcerned by the man's angry words.
Ji Tanyuan: "Why don't you hire a maid?"
“They’re annoying,” Zhong Yan said slowly.
Ji Tanyuan blurted out, "Why?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it a little. Sometimes she was simply curious about Zhong Yan and would ask questions without realizing it.
Whether or not one likes a maid is purely a matter of personal preference, but she remembered that Zhong Yan was looked after by the nanny.
He doesn't look like he's been abused by a nanny.
In her opinion, he was more normal than Zhong Fangqi and Zhong Jing, who were personally taught by Grandpa Zhong.
She dared not say whether she was qualified or not, after all, her former father-in-law and former uncle had quite good resumes, and it was not possible to achieve that level just by relying on her background.
Therefore, according to Mr. Zhong's standards, his education was indeed not a failure.
But Zhong Yan isn't bad either, so it's not a matter of educational methods. If we consider everything, in terms of managing their small family and treating their wives, none of them can compare to Zhong Yan.
Ji Tanyuan didn't say it aloud, afraid that Zhong Yan would become arrogant.
Therefore, she now leans more towards the idea that their success in their careers is due to their strong backgrounds and good genetic inheritance of intelligence, meaning that even with a puppy growing up alongside them, they can still be very successful.
Zhong Yan looked at Ji Tanyuan and asked, "What are you thinking about now?"
Ji Tanyuan: "Did the nanny's lack of boundaries when she was a child annoy you and leave a bad impression?"
Zhong Yan: "Why would you think that?"
“Childhood can influence one’s entire life,” Ji Tanyuan said.
Zhong Yan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, only indifference: "They practically worshipped me and gave me a long braid, so where is the abuse?"
Ji Tanyuan: "Oh."
Zhong Yan fed him a second bite: "Some families have different servants than you, you know that, right? Do you know the housekeeper Zhang who ran away after you tried to 'set rules' for you on your wedding night?"
Ji Tanyuan remembered, exclaimed "Ah!" and showed a look of pity: "Your family is like this."
It can be quite painful for people who aren't used to it.
Zhong Yan said calmly, “According to modern employment laws, a nanny who takes care of children and cleans the house has a simple employment relationship with the employer, but there must be boundaries. After all, one is a superior and the other is a subordinate, and they live together on the basis of equality and respect for each other’s personalities.”
"But the Zhong family is different."
Master and servant.
The benefits are also different. Some people are not satisfied with that salary. The resources they can obtain in Yanjing are the kind that many people can only dream of in their entire lives. Even a little bit of money slipping through their fingernails is a wealth code that makes money grow.
When Zhong Yan was a child, his parents worked in other places but felt that the educational resources there were not as good as those in Beijing. His grandparents lived in the original government compound and only cared about his older brother. His grandparents thought he was naughty and was the second child, so he was too young. His grandfather was still working and had a lot of work. The dormitory there was small.
There were many reasons why the adults left him in the courtyard house to be cared for by servants and go to school.
I only go to my grandparents' house on weekends.
So during his time living alone in the Zhong family's huge courtyard house in Yanjing, he faced meticulous care in public and all sorts of private scheming.
Actually, it's nothing. I have food, clothes, and someone to comfort me. Apart from the psychological education teacher doing some procedural psychological growth education, it's pretty good.
But the key issue is that some people have ulterior motives, and they want him to pass on a message to his grandfather over the weekend in order to gain the favor of this old leader.
This happened more than twice, and Grandpa got really angry. At that time, Zhong Yan was not even ten years old, and he began to be disciplined by the family.
He eventually understood, but he still didn't feel sorry for himself; he just felt disgusted.
Ji Tanyuan sighed, "Didn't you have a rebellious phase?"
"You know, in our circle, as long as no one dies, it's not considered a rebellious phase, so I didn't."
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
How dare you say such a thing?
She kept her mouth shut. "I'm full."
Zhong Yan frowned: "Only two sips? I'm telling you a story, and I can't even let you have a few more sips?"
Ji Tanyuan: "I'm really full. Don't worry about me. I'm not a child anymore."
Zhong Yan: "Of course I'm not worried. You're not an idiot, you'll find food when you're hungry. But what I mean is, if you only drink two sips, wouldn't I be doing all this for nothing? No, drink some more."
Ji Tanyuan: "Go ahead and drink it."
Zhong Yan said expressionlessly, "I maintain my figure."
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
