Chapter 194 You're the first person who can call their ex-husband "husband."
Zhong Yan waited for Ji Tanyuan outside the door. It was a hot summer day, and the man was wearing a white shirt. His profile was sharp and angular, with a high nose bridge, and he exuded the noble composure of a mature man.
Standing next to her was a man of similar height.
His eyebrows and eyes were more defined, he had a buzz cut, and a small scar between his eyebrows and eyes, which gave him a somewhat roguish look.
Ji Tanyuan saw them from a distance. She recognized the man; it was Ling Bu, whom Zhong Yan had mentioned before, and also their best man at their wedding.
The two men looked serious, clearly discussing something.
Over the years, she has watched Zhong Yan grow more and more profound, and she knows that he has been facing some games where one wrong move could lead to total defeat.
The world in Beijing has changed again and again. As Zhong's father rose to prominence, Zhong Yan's career also faced greater schemes.
Ji Tanyuan did not go over immediately, but instead waited to the side for a while.
Cheng Gengxu came out just in time to see them. He saw the two men talking in the distance, and then looked at Ji Tanyuan who was looking down at her phone.
Why don't you go over and listen?
Ji Tanyuan looked up upon hearing this and laughed, "What are you listening to?"
Cheng Gengxu looked at him intently, "I thought you would be curious."
Ji Tanyuan raised an eyebrow. "It's always the same thing, back and forth."
The more you know, the more things you weigh, and the more overwhelmed and cautious you become, which is actually not beneficial.
Playing with your cards upfront can be exhausting sometimes.
Cheng Gengxu was silent for a moment, then continued, "Perhaps Ling Bu is looking for Zhong Yan at this time to tell you indirectly when you are here."
Ji Tanyuan glanced sideways. "I don't like this roundabout way of talking."
Cheng Gengxu laughed, "You and Zhong Yan are quite on the same wavelength."
Cheng Gengxu then said, "I have a project here, in its initial stage. Would you like to participate? It's related to the semiconductor industry."
Ji Tanyuan: "No, the Ji family's market share has already reached a critical point. If we go any further, we will be suppressed."
Cheng Gengxu felt a little regretful, but he also knew Ji Tanyuan's concerns; the market also disliked a single dominant player.
However, the Ji family has the highest probability of being able to undertake this project.
Cheng Gengxu: "I thought you would spare no effort to expand the market, but it seems you have really adapted to the world of fame and fortune in China."
Ji Tanyuan pursed her lips, "Of course, every society has its own rules."
She knew that the Ji family had become much more efficient in project approvals over the years, thanks to Zhong Yan. Although the two were divorced, those in the industry knew that she and Zhong Yan were still living together.
She enjoyed the invisible power that Zhong Yan indirectly brought her, so she couldn't be too greedy in this matter and cause him trouble.
It seems to be a critical moment for the Zhong family right now, so she naturally has to keep a low profile.
From a long-term perspective, Zhong Yan's well-being is essential for her well-being.
Cheng Gengxu raised an eyebrow. He had to admit that Ji Tanyuan was quite capable, and he understood why Zhong Yan liked her.
Living together as two insightful and compatible people will indeed lead to a higher happiness index and a more relaxed life.
"You should spend more time persuading your employee, Xin Gan, to use my services to develop her career."
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
ill.
On the other side, Zhong Yan saw Ji Tanyuan and ended the conversation, saying, "I understand. Wait for my message."
Ling Bu followed his gaze and laughed, "I never expected that you and your wife would end up like this."
Zhong Yan: "It's fine. Seek imperfection, not perfection. Water overflows when it's full, and the moon wanes when it's full. Too much prosperity is the beginning of decline. It's fine that we have some imperfections."
"You're quite good at comforting yourself," Ling Bu laughed. "I've noticed your patience is getting better and better."
Zhong Yan sneered, "You'd be fine if you raised a beagle."
Ling Bu: "..."
Ji Tanyuan and Zhong Yan did not stay at the winery, but went to Yulongguanzhi, their former marital home.
"You used to have someone clean your house regularly."
“Of course, you can just pack up and leave, and I’ll pay the property management fees for the house under your name,” Zhong Yan said.
Ji Tanyuan chuckled at the two of them, then hugged one of his arms, saying, "Who's giving themselves to whom, ex-husband?"
Zhong Yan pinched her cheek and said, "Ex-wife, I think you're a real treasure. You're the first person who can call her ex-husband 'husband' like that."
Ji Tanyuan laughed, "Really? Then I'll call you more often from now on."
Zhong Yan lowered his eyes, then kissed the corner of her mouth. "I'm meeting my mom and dad tomorrow."
Ji Tanyuan was speechless. "You think this is a meeting with the parents? We're going to someone else's wedding. Are you drunk, Zhong Yan?"
After Ji Tanyuan finished speaking, she asked curiously, "How is your grandmother doing lately?"
Zhong Yan glanced at her, knowing that this girl wasn't concerned, but simply gossipy.
For an octogenarian to be remembered by Ji Tanyuan for four years, his grandmother has truly succeeded.
"That's how it is, they keep pressuring me to get married and have my eldest child."
However, he was so busy that he was rarely home. Apart from going back to Yanjing for meetings, he basically never went back.
Two years ago, he and Ji Tanyuan spent the Spring Festival in Paris on vacation, which made the old lady so angry that she almost ended up in the hospital.
But Zhong Yan didn't want to go back.
There's no festive atmosphere at all, just mental exhaustion.
Fortunately, in the past two years, the old lady has seen that no one is paying attention to her and she has made enough of a fuss.
As for whether I regret it or not, I don't think I did anything wrong at all. It's all the fault of the unfilial son. I have no regrets whatsoever.
the next day
When the two arrived at the wedding banquet venue, they met Zhong Fangqi and his wife, who were being escorted there.
We only bumped into each other in the underground parking garage.
At that time, Zhong Yan was on the phone in the car, and Ji Tanyuan went up first.
This way, she wouldn't feel awkward. If she were with Zhong Yan, she would feel a little awkward.
Ji Tanyuan stepped forward to greet them, calling them Secretary and Madam.
Zhou Yanyu wore a light blue chiffon blouse and black pants, the colors were lighter and less serious.
Her hair was also styled more loosely, not so neatly styled as to be perfectly straight.
Zhong Fangqi, on the other hand, was wearing a black jacket. The couple, who were elderly in age but in their prime in the officialdom, looked very young and did not look like they were over 60 at all.
Zhong Fangqi nodded. "Where's Ayan? Didn't she come with you?"
"He suddenly had something to take care of, so I went upstairs by myself first."
Zhou Yanyu: "Let's go together."
So, in the elevator, which had long been emptied, there were four people, including Zhong Fangqi's personal bodyguards.
Zhong Fangqi's voice was deep: "When you have time, you and Ayan can come to my house for a visit."
What does this mean?
Is it saying that since everyone knows they've been living together for four years, they should hurry up and remarry, go home for dinner, and stop staying out?
Ji Tanyuan glanced at Zhong Fangqi; she didn't want to go back to the Zhong family.
In what capacity is she Zhong Yan's ex-wife?
She smiled and said, "Zhong Yan and I have no plans to remarry."
