Chapter 95 We'll have a future, right?
Ji Tanyuan pouted, speechless that Zhong Yan had given her something and was planning to take it back.
"People need to be aware of risks. I can't even fully trust my dad, let alone completely trust you."
After Ji Tanyuan finished speaking, she looked down at his hand and said, "Could you please take your hand away?"
"Where to take it?"
Then he reached down, "Here, is that okay?"
Ji Tanyuan was speechless. "You only saw me for something like this?"
"You were discussing soulmates with me just a few days ago, is it appropriate to do this now?"
Zhong Yan disagreed, saying, "The two complement each other."
"And don't you like it?"
Ji Tanyuan opened her mouth, but she couldn't say she disliked it, much less like it, so she closed her mouth.
Ji Tanyuan sat on his lap, and was then placed on the sofa. "Let's do it a few times."
Ji Tanyuan reminded him seriously, "Once is enough!"
Zhong Yan squinted, "You said before that I wasn't good enough."
"When did I say that?" Ji Tanyuan denied it to the death.
"You've definitely misunderstood, and you're being too petty."
She gripped his collar to stop Zhong Yan from going any further, as if she wouldn't come even once if he didn't agree.
Zhong Yan looked up and met her gaze, then said with a mischievous smile, "It doesn't matter if I'm petty, as long as I'm not petty in other ways."
He bent down, grasped her wrist, and slowly moved it away. "Don't be shy, okay?"
He removed Ji Tanyuan's hand and held it above her head, then bent down and kissed her chin.
Intimate and tender, lingering on the collarbone.
"I miss you so much, my wife, but you never say you miss me." The man's voice was low and hoarse, tinged with grievance.
Ji Tanyuan: "We've only been apart for a week."
"That means you'll miss me when we're apart for a long time."
Zhong Yan overemphasizes reading comprehension.
Ji Tanyuan turned her head away, "Get out of the way, there are still people outside."
"It's okay, it's fine if it's a little louder, just make sure the movie volume is louder," Zhong Yan said with a smile.
Ji Tanyuan was shocked. "You're a pervert!"
She bent her leg to kick him away, but it made it easier for Zhong Yan. The man grabbed her ankle, and Ji Tanyuan's foot ended up on the back of the sofa.
Zhong Yan turned his head and kissed her calf.
Leaving behind ambiguous red marks.
Ji Tanyuan was getting a little annoyed by the slow and meticulous work.
Zhong Yancun was determined to break down her psychological defenses.
“Let’s talk,” Zhong Yan said slowly and deliberately.
Ji Tanyuan was somewhat dazed and didn't react immediately upon hearing those four words.
"You said before that you didn't like being with me."
It's time to settle accounts!
Ji Tanyuan's face flushed, but her eyes were filled with disbelief: "Zhong Yan?"
Zhong Yan laughed, "Go ahead and say it."
Ji Tanyuan gritted her teeth, "Look at us now! Am I wrong?"
"Then, baby, don't call 'stop' tonight, okay?"

3 a.m.
Ji Tanyuan was carried into the bedroom
Ji Tanyuan had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed.
In the bathtub
Ji Tanyuan fell asleep and slowly slid down, then was lifted up again.
Zhong Yan, wearing a bathrobe, then took another white bathrobe and carried the person out.
Ji Tanyuan had no recollection of it; if Zhong Yan hadn't called her the next day, she would have been late for the funeral.
Zhong Yan bent down, picked the person up, and sat them on the washstand. "Let's brush our teeth."
Ji Tanyuan didn't expect Zhong Yan to hold a grudge so much; she had deliberately said something to him last time that he still remembered it.
Ji Tanyuan looked up at him and said, "I think indulgence is bad for your health."
Zhong Yan bent over and leaned against the washbasin. "You have to indulge yourself while you're young. When you get old, you'll be too weak to do so."
Ji Tanyuan lowered her head. "Really?"
Zhong Yan took the slippers, squatted down and put them on for her. "Yes, wife, you're so understanding."
Ji Tanyuan raised one foot and placed it on his shoulder, her eyes lowered, a smile on her face:
"What if you can't satisfy me, honey? Will you find me a younger man?"
Zhong Yan tilted his head back, then lowered his head and laughed, "Ji Tanyuan, you really are courting death."
He gritted his teeth and grabbed her ankle.
Ji Tanyuan sighed, "I was just saying, in case."
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely satisfy you."
Ji Tanyuan slammed on the brakes and quickly said okay, Zhong Yan knew today was not the right time.
It's like old debts are just settled before new ones start appearing; there's no fear of a next time.
Ji Tanyuan pulled her foot back, jumped off the sink, and turned to wash up.
Zhong Yan hugged the woman from behind, "We'll have a future, right?"
Ji Tanyuan looked up and met Zhong Yan's gaze in the mirror.
What to do? She didn't want to make any promises, but then she thought again, what kind of promise is this? It's just to appease a man.
So he nodded.
Zhong Yan laughed, turned his head and kissed her cheek, "I took it seriously."
Ji Tanyuan changed her clothes and put on light makeup.
After breakfast, Zhong Yan and I went to the Ji Family Ancestral Hall.
Ji Ting didn't want to disturb his son's funeral, nor did he want to confront Ji Tanyuan at this time, so the funeral went relatively smoothly.
Ji Tanyuan stood in the courtyard, looking at this place. The Ji family clan was not small, the ancestral hall was magnificent, and they were united in their dealings with outsiders, but all of this had nothing to do with her.
In fact, part of the unity within the Ji family lies in how to exclude irrelevant people.
Even though the majority of the clan fund comes from the Ji Group, and the father's name will only appear at the top of the list of honorees, the clan headship will not fall to Ji Qing.
It wasn't because of his age; the main reason was that he didn't have a son.
To Ji Tanyuan, all of this seemed utterly absurd.
But they would find it perfectly normal, because those who benefit from it will not question any custom that is good for them.
Men in black came and went, none of them smiling, but Ji Tanyuan stood out conspicuously.
All business partners who had a cooperative relationship with Ji Ting were related to the Ji Group, so those representatives always said goodbye to Ji Tanyuan after leaving.
Ji Tanyuan is currently the second-in-command of the Ji Group. No matter how chaotic things are inside, she won't be able to get on the family tree.
Business partners only look at the group; they deal with whoever holds the power within the group.
The new energy and semiconductor chip industries she spearheads are poised to become leading enterprises in the new economic system.
With Zhong Yan also present, how could they possibly overlook him?
Even ignoring the one lying in the coffin, it's impossible to ignore the two standing ones.
Mr. Tian, the head of the cooperating company, shook hands with Ji Tanyuan, and then shook hands with Zhong Yan.
Both of them are quite tall. Ji Tanyuan is 175cm tall in short boots and high heels, while Zhong Yan is nearly 190cm tall in thin-soled leather shoes.
Zhong Yan, wearing a black overcoat and black sunglasses, stood beside Ji Tanyuan. They were a perfect match, exuding an air of natural nobility, yet also cold and casual, as if he were merely observing from the sidelines. He was only there because his wife was there, and nothing else mattered.
Near the end
Several more cars were parked outside the door, with Shen Xichen at the head.
The man was wearing a black suit, with his hair neatly slicked back. His delicate eyebrows and eyes had a somewhat feminine quality, and he looked gentle and refined, but Ji Tanyuan intuitively felt that he was gloomy and dark.
In her entire life, Ji Tanyuan's greatest fear was dark, reptilian creatures, and she had an innate dislike for this person.
Shen Xichen was led inside by the staff.
He entered through the main gate and walked straight inside. He stayed inside for ten minutes before coming out, accompanied by Ji Ting.
He seemed to have just noticed Ji Tanyuan, so he said a few words to Ji Ting and walked towards Ji Tanyuan and Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan was a little annoyed. "Why is he so persistent? Ji Tanyuan, this is your bad luck in love."
