Chapter 171 Watch Your Words When You Speak to Your Young Lady!
This was the first time Zhong Yan had ever been greeted like this.
Wait a minute, actually not, puppies often do this.
Ji Tanyuan gave him her trust without hesitation, without considering the possibility that she might miss and fall, as if she believed that he would definitely catch her.
Her soft body nestled into his arms, full of vitality and life.
He glanced at the person so close to him, his eyes filled with affection: "Missed me?"
Ji Tanyuan hugged his neck tightly, "I thought you weren't coming back."
Zhong Yan cradled her like a child, tilting his head back to kiss her.
"How strange! I'm flattered. This is the first time Miss has waited for me."
Ji Tanyuan lowered her head, "No, it's happened several times already."
Zhong Yan lifted her up, and Ji Tanyuan exclaimed in surprise, hugging his neck tightly, "What are you doing?"
"You."
Ji Tanyuan pinched the skin on the back of his neck, "Watch your words when you talk to your young lady!"
Zhong Yan sneered: "Too late. Once you're in my den of thieves, you won't get out."
Ji Tanyuan laughed, "You can make money by acting."
Zhong Yan: "Fine, now you want me to perform for money? With so many people watching me, are you happy?"
Ji Tanyuan thought for a moment, "I probably won't be happy."
She pursed her lips, then asked:
Has your mother left?
Zhong Yan's smile faded slightly. "I've gone back. I just boarded the plane."
She glanced at his face. "You two had a fight."
Zhong Yan replied calmly, "It happens all the time."
Ji Tanyuan sighed, "Is it because of my rejection? Will you be angry?"
“I’m not coming if I’m angry,” Zhong Yan said dismissively.
He carried the person to the bed, straightened his tie, stood up, and unbuttoned his shirt.
As she explained, she said, "I know exactly what my dad is thinking."
Ji Tanyuan sat up and watched him unbutton his shirt. His legs were slightly apart, revealing his long legs, broad shoulders, narrow waist, well-defined abs, V-line, and belt.
Zhong Yan felt her gaze, bent down, and touched her face. "Ji Tanyuan, you only need to guard the last line of defense for Zidian. I'll take care of the rest."
His touch sent shivers down my spine, like an electric shock.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she said absentmindedly, "Thank you."
Zhong Yan scoffed, "If you want to thank me, then make more money so I can get more dividends."
“I’m not selfless. If you make me lose money, I’ll take the loss myself. Our betting agreement is still in effect.”
Then he picked her up and said, “Your eyes are full of longing, Huanghuang. Your parents really made a good choice in naming you.”
"Even the homophones match up."
Ji Tanyuan reached out and slapped him, "Nonsense."

Zhou Yanyu landed in Yanjing at 11 p.m.
She rubbed her forehead and got into the car.
Weary from our journey, we returned to our dormitory.
It just so happens that I run into Zhong Fangqi, who is returning home from work.
Zhou Yanyu's face turned pale. She glanced at him twice and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
In the bedroom
The room wasn't large, but it was clean and exuded understated luxury.
The furniture is mostly solid wood, with sandalwood being the most common. The overall color scheme isn't cold, but the room feels lifeless and lacks warmth.
Zhou Yanyu took off her trench coat. "Zhong Yan doesn't plan to come back."
Zhong Fangqi clenched his fists, his fingers and the knuckles on the back of his hands were a little red. Zhou Yanyu noticed this, then looked away and poured a glass of water.
“If you continue to target him, Zhong Fangqi, we’re getting a divorce.”
Zhong Fangqi turned to look at Zhou Yanyu, seemingly not having heard clearly, "What did you say?"
Zhou Yanyu took a sip of water, then looked up and said, "If you secretly pressure him, we'll get a divorce."
Zhong Fangqi laughed. He was furious. Even though he knew Zhou Yanyu was just threatening him and wasn't serious, he was still angry.
She has never uttered the word "divorce".
"Divorce? Are you kidding me?"
Zhou Yanyu lowered her eyes. "Right? It's just a joke now, but who knows what will happen in the future?"
“I promised you I would try to persuade Ji Tanyuan. Did you hear Ji Tanyuan’s reply? Did you hear it? I don’t know if she talked to Ayan, but their replies were exactly the same.”
“Zhong Fangqi, not everyone has the ability to be happy. In our family, we only have one Ayan.”
Zhong Fangqi took a deep breath. "That's right, everyone has their own reasons, except me, who's the bastard, right?"
He spoke in a deep voice, his expression grim, "Happiness? Don't you think it's childish and ridiculous to say that? Did I stop him from living in Shanghai? Did I stop him from going to see Ji Tanyuan? Now he's the one doing everything against me!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his wife with a deep gaze:
"You're actually taking his side now? Zhou Yanyu, are you using our marital relationship to help our youngest son who always opposes us? You're threatening me with divorce for Zhong Yan's sake?!"
Faced with Zhong Fangqi's fury, Zhou Yanyu sat indifferently until he was panting heavily before she spoke:
“He’s fighting with the Shen family in Shanghai. You don’t need to undermine him when he’s helping you. I think Tan Yuan is right. This world doesn’t revolve around the Zhong family. People are equal when they don’t need to ask for favors.”
Zhong Fangqi: "Foolish! You're utterly foolish!"
Zhou Yanyu stood up, her voice flat and indifferent: "I'm tired, let's wash up and go to sleep."
Zhong Fangqi grabbed her wrist. "Let's make this clear first."
Zhou Yanyu was extremely frustrated. She flew to Shanghai, was lectured by the young people, and had to endure the blame from this person in a high position when she returned. She turned around and slapped him.
She used all her strength and resentment to deliver this slap, which she had held back for 30 years.
It shattered the harmony of mutual respect and broke her long-standing forbearance.
"Are you trying to force me to my death?" Zhou Yanyu's hair was disheveled and her eyes were red.
She yelled, "Are you trying to kill me?"
Her voice was shrill, “What did I do wrong, Zhong Fangqi? What did I do wrong to end up like this in my life?”
"I am a human being, I also have emotions and desires, I almost forgot that I am a human being." At the end, she seemed to be crying but not crying, laughing but not laughing.
She took a deep breath, stepped back, paced back and forth a few times, and ran her fingers through her hair. "I'm really going crazy."
"You know what? Sometimes I feel like I should just die."
A guard at the door heard the commotion, knocked on the door, and asked if there was any danger.
Zhong Fangqi: "It's nothing."
He turned to the person and said:
"You need to calm down."
He turned to get the medicine, saying, "Drink the medicine, and you'll feel better after a nap."
Zhou Yanyu looked at him coldly, her eyes filled with hatred, "The one who should be taking his medicine is always you."
“You’ve never changed. Ever since I met you, you’ve been domineering and never consider others. You may seem gentle on the outside, but you have a terrible temper and are very irritable in private. It’s lucky that Ayan wasn’t raised by you.”
She covered her face, her emotions spiraling out of control. Menopausal emotions are already unstable, and she had been suppressing them all day. Now, this sudden outburst was no different from a volcanic eruption.
Zhong Fangqi put down his water glass, walked over, and put his hands on her shoulders. "I have my own difficulties too."
"You know perfectly well that if one move fails, the whole game is at risk."
Zhou Yanyu pushed him away, "You have difficulties? Your mother has difficulties too? She sent someone to urge Yi'an to go to Jincheng! The couple finally settled down in Jincheng, but your mother can't have peace! I wish she were dead!"
She took a step back, smashed the cup in his face, pointed at him, at this powerful figure who had everything he wanted outside, and cursed him mercilessly.
This was the first time the couple had such a public and confrontational argument.
Zhong Yan was woken up by an emergency call at three in the morning, ordering him to return to Yanjing overnight.
