Chapter 170 As soon as I entered, I was greeted with a warm welcome.
Ji Tanyuan came out of the room and saw a man leaning against the wall at the entrance of the corridor.
It was visibly colder than Cheng Gengxu's aura had become, even in June when the temperature was below -6 degrees Celsius.
She stepped forward. "Zhong Yan said you wanted to see me?"
Cheng Gengxu looked up. "You could have guessed it, couldn't you?"
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips. "Let's go."
The two got into the car. Ji Tanyuan sat in the passenger seat, looking at the car ornaments in his car. They were very cute and probably for little girls.
Ji Tanyuan sighed: "Cheng Gengxu, I advise you not to force him."
Cheng Gengxu clenched his jaw, his taut, sharp features etched on his face. "Is she alright?"
Ji Tanyuan was silent for a while before saying, "It's not good. A 21-year-old is still a precious child in other families, pampered by her parents and given money to study. But she's already taken advantage of you."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed a bottle of water and gulped down half of it. She had talked too much this week; she had a lot of lines to say.
Infected by Zhong Yan, one should theoretically be like Cheng Gengxu, a cold and aloof CEO who can't utter a word for a long time.
This is how you maintain an air of mystery and elegance.
Ji Tanyuan turned to look at the man.
Ji Tanyuan: "Say something! Do you expect me to speak myself?"
Cheng Gengxu was lost in his own emotions before finally humming in agreement.
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
She sneered, "If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."
Cheng Gengxu: "Take good care of her. I'll pay for it. Transfer Caiying to me."
Ji Tanyuan asked warily, "What are you doing?"
Cheng Gengxu: "From now on, I will support her and take care of everything for her so that she can succeed."
Ji Tanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, she might want to retire from the entertainment industry."
Cheng Gengxu frowned. "Why?"
Ji Tanyuan: "She said she has a beautiful appearance but no intelligence, and can't hold onto too many things that don't belong to her."
After saying this, Cheng Gengxu turned pale.
Seeing his expression, Ji Tanyuan understood: "You didn't say that because you're so foul-mouthed, did you?"
"It was a long time ago, I never imagined... she would still remember it."
Ji Tanyuan sneered, "Didn't you think of that? You did, but you didn't take them seriously back then."
She waved her hand, "The biggest compensation is that you don't bother her anymore. Everything you're doing now is just her reliving the past, the past of being disrespected."
Cheng Gengxu fell silent again. He hadn't slept a full night in a while and had searched everywhere for her but couldn't find her, fearing that something had happened to her.
Only then did they think of Ji Tanyuan, as she was the only one who could be involved, and they later found some clues.
He should have questioned Ji Tanyuan about using their collaboration to force her to hand over the person. He should have forced Xin Gan out. If there was a misunderstanding, he should have addressed it face to face. What kind of person hides away?
But then he hesitated, suddenly becoming afraid.
They dare not use force anymore.
He could only wait.
After dropping her off at her apartment complex, Ji Tanyuan said, "Are you alright? Don't exhaust yourself before Xin Gan even gets back. If you can't sleep, take a couple of sleeping pills and you'll have to sleep."
Cheng Gengxu hummed in agreement.
Ji Tanyuan pouted and remained silent. Upon reaching her destination, she got out of the car without looking back.
The puppy ran over to greet her, and Ji Tanyuan squatted down and hugged it tightly.
She looked at the gold lock around Puppy's neck, a gift from Zhong Yan to Puppy.
Thinking of Zhong Yan, she lay on the sofa, feeling lost for the first time.
At 11 p.m., Ji Tanyuan finished her overtime work and came out of the study.
Zhong Yan hasn't returned yet.
She turned and walked towards the bedroom.
Suddenly there was a sound from the entryway.
Zhong Yan opened the door. He hadn't planned to come, but he felt he couldn't not come; he had to make things clear.
As soon as I entered, I was greeted with a warm welcome.
A girl, exuding the scent of roses, jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist. Zhong Yan reflexively reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
