Chapter 196 Pregnancy
Zhong Yan was in a good mood.
Ji Tanyuan went to talk to Qin Yini, who was her bridesmaid.
He sat at the banquet, playing with his phone and listening to the people around him.
Elders of Zhong Fangqi's stature remained in the private room and did not come out; the majority of people present were young.
Ling Bu, dressed as a groomsman and carrying a ring box, walked over and asked Zhong Yan.
"I heard that Miss Qin, today's bridesmaid, is quite familiar to Ji Tanyuan?"
He just saw it; Qin Yini was so excited when she saw Ji Tanyuan that she seemed to have a tail and was wagging it.
This shows how good their relationship is.
"I'm still single, bro. Is that lawyer Qin single?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yan understood the meaning behind his words.
He looked up. "Qin Yini?"
Ling Bu nodded.
"I don't know, I'm not familiar with it."
Ling Bu clicked his tongue. "Who asked if we were familiar? I asked if you were single."
Zhong Yan: "I don't know, why don't you just ask?"
Zhong Yan paused for a moment, then said, "She's bisexual. If you mind that, then don't bother her."
Ling Bu was shocked and sat down.
After thinking for a moment, he added, "So, does that mean I not only have to compete with men, but also with women?"
Zhong Yan hummed in agreement and said slowly, "Right?"
Qin Yini hugged Ji Tanyuan and said, "You have no idea how busy I've been lately. Look at my hair, I'm losing so much."
She even lowered her head to let Ji Tanyuan see her hair.
She's been working herself to the bone in Hong Kong these past two years, working overtime every day with one case after another.
Ji Tanyuan asked in surprise, "Why are you so busy?"
We used to have time to play mahjong together, but now she doesn't even have time to sleep.
Ji Tanyuan said with a smile, "But we've made a fortune."
Qin Yini pouted, "What? It's your husband... oh... no, your ex-husband, who's introducing business to our boss and specifically asked for me!"
"Although I benefit from it, I can't handle it. Tell him to take it easy."
Ji Tanyuan was taken aback. "Is that so?"
Qin Yini was on the verge of tears, hugging Ji Tanyuan, "I miss you so much, Huanghuang."
Ji Tanyuan patted her back, "I'll go back and tell him, I'm sorry, you don't need to pay attention to him. I'll invite you on vacation. Wait for my news."
She blinked, giving her a look that said, "You know what I mean."
"Go on, the bride is waiting for you. We'll talk after the wedding."
Ji Tanyuan returned to her seat and asked directly, "Did you feed Qin Yini the case?"
Zhong Yan exclaimed inwardly, thinking that Qin Yini was a tattletale, but he knew that Ji Tanyuan disliked his jealousy, so he said in a particularly friendly manner:
"He's your friend, so it's only right."
Ji Tanyuan looked at him, "Really? When did you become so kind?"
Zhong Yan laughed: "I've always been so kind."
“She could have refused if she didn’t want to do it. Your best friend is such a workaholic, how can you blame me?”
Ji Tanyuan: "..."
Zhong Yan's gaze was cool as he glanced at her: "Ji Tanyuan, are you questioning me?"
Ji Tanyuan pinched his leg, in a very natural and intimate way, "You do have some... well... your credit isn't very good with me."
They've argued over the years, which is normal in any relationship.
In addition, both of them are busy with work and are bosses, so they are both somewhat assertive at heart.
Fortunately, they didn't argue much, but there were always one or two times when Zhong Yan got jealous for no reason and got angry that she wasn't jealous, which led to an argument.
Ji Tanyuan also couldn't understand why, since the two of them had already decided on their feelings for each other, they would still be jealous of some unrelated people.
But Zhong Yan felt that the good life was unrealistic after a while and always needed to find something to do.
Zhong Yan sneered, then began to speak sarcastically. Ji Tanyuan knew him all too well and covered his mouth before he could speak, saying, "The wedding has begun, be quiet."
Zhong Yan's mouth was covered, Ji Tanyuan turned her head to look at the stage, and Zhong Yan looked at Ji Tanyuan.
Their wedding back then was like a mission, perfect and luxurious, with an even bigger spectacle than this, but the smiles they wore were so fake, more fake than acting in a TV drama.
He sometimes wondered if this was a regret.
He pulled her wrist away and whispered, "Do you still want a wedding?"
Ji Tanyuan suddenly heard this and turned to look at him, "If we are still together 20 years from now, then let's do it."
Zhong Yan smiled and patted her head.
"This promise of yours is quite long. Is it a test for me, or a promise?"
Ji Tanyuan turned her back to him and ignored him.
Ji Tanyuan's arrival in Yanjing attracted a lot of attention.
It would be even bigger if Zhong Yan came along.
In recent years, the Ji family has developed very rapidly, quickly and accurately grasping every moment of the market, and the talents they have recruited, whether in management or technical positions, have all gained influence in their respective industries.
Hidden behind the scenes is Ji Tanyuan.
At 28, she was at the most mature and beautiful age. She exuded elegance and was impeccably clean. Her features were lovely, and while she didn't display the harshness often associated with the business world, the composure and aura in her eyes were undeniable.
She and the man beside her shared the same temperament.
Naturally, business people came up to chat, and Ji Tanyuan responded politely with a smile.
Wedding banquet ended
Zhong Fangqi and the others quietly left.
He called Zhong Yan over before he left.
Zhong Fangqi said in a deep voice, "Ji Tanyuan doesn't want to remarry, do you still want to waste your time on her?"
Zhong Yan: "How can this be considered a waste of time? I don't want to marry the people who are willing to marry me. The latter is the real waste of time."
Zhong Yan's tone was also not very good, "You really went back on your word. You said you wouldn't look for her, but you were still secretly talking to her in the elevator."
Zhong Fangqi's face turned ashen with anger. "Who am I doing this for? Who's always out of town in Shanghai? Get home for the Mid-Autumn Festival today. If you dare not come back, I'll send someone to kidnap you."
After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at it and left.
Ji Tanyuan bid farewell to the newlyweds inside the venue, saying with a hint of apology, "Let's have dinner together another day. We're heading back now."
Gu Beiming smiled and said, "It's good that you came."
It's clear that Ji Tanyuan hasn't planned to sever ties with Yanjing yet. That makes sense; if she doesn't sever ties with Zhong Yan, then she can't and shouldn't sever ties with Yanjing either. The central government can't just sever ties so easily.
The world of fame and fortune has no place for true feelings.
The higher you go, the smaller your social circle becomes, so there's no need to cut off contact.
If Ji Tanyuan and Rong Xi could sit down and chat for a bit, then Gu Beiming, who had always been friendly to her, would certainly be able to as well.
Upon returning to Hong Kong, Ji Tanyuan immediately began working on the final stages of Tongji High-Tech's IPO.
It wasn't until two months later, around the Mid-Autumn Festival, that the event gradually came to an end.
This year, Zhong Yan is going back to Yanjing. His father's health has been poor recently, and he has less and less time left. If he doesn't go back, his father will definitely send people to Shanghai to kill him.
Ji Tanyuan didn't say anything; it was better to go back.
They can spend time together normally, and she can spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her mother.
Over the years, Ji Qing and Sheng Wan have been traveling around, and their relationship has been on and off.
Mid-Autumn Festival
Zhong Yan sat in the living room listening to the other people chatting. Besides his own family, there were also relatives from his cousins who had come to celebrate together.
The chatter was lively, but it also felt like there was a barrier between them; it wasn't as good as when he and Ji Tanyuan were alone together.
Zhong Yan was called into the study. As soon as he entered, he smelled the smoke and saw his father holding a cigarette, his older brother sitting down, his grandfather, and his second uncle.
It's been a long time since I've had this kind of serious and oppressive atmosphere. Zhong Yan still doesn't really like it.
He first opened the window to ventilate the room, then sat down.
"Please speak."
Zhong Fangqi stubbed out his cigarette. "How's things going with Kehua?"
"all the best."
one hour
Zhong Yan's phone vibrated, and he got up to answer it.
However, his expression changed before he even reached the balcony.
We chatted briefly before hanging up.
He turned around, and Zhong Fangqi asked, "What is it?"
Zhong Yan: "It's nothing."
It was a call from the hospital; Ji Tanyuan is pregnant.
The little guy was greeting the world for the first time, and he wasn't there.
