Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 588 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (67)

Five minutes after hanging up the phone, Yan Zhen saw Yan Heng running out of the alley with his messy curly hair and slippers.

He ran to the car and frantically pounded on the window, shouting, "Sister! Sister!"

Yan Zhen slowly lowered the car window and watched Yan Heng running out of breath. She felt a mischievous smug satisfaction at her successful prank.

"Who died? Was it Grandma or... Dad?" Yan Heng asked, his face pale and his lips trembling.

"neither."

Yan Heng's eyes reddened, and tears quickly welled up in them: "That's...that's Mom? Or is it Xiao..."

"It's your brother-in-law."

Yan Heng was stunned. His sorrow was like a tap that was suddenly turned off, instantly halving in intensity.

"Let's talk about it after we get in the car."

Yan Heng walked around to the other side, opened the passenger door, and got into the car.

Yan Zhen started the car and looked for a suitable parking spot nearby.

"What happened?" Yan Heng asked. "How could my brother-in-law suddenly die? Wasn't his surgery after the car accident very successful?"

"He's not dead, but it's practically the same as being dead," Yan Zhen said, glancing in the rearview mirror.

As soon as her car drove away, a head peeked out from the alley entrance.

Thanks to the original owner's good eyesight, Yan Zhen could see the hearing aid on the head even from a considerable distance.

Yan Heng seemed to only then realize that he had been tricked, and glared angrily at Yan Zhen: "Sis, you're getting more and more frivolous as you get older. Is it fun to tease me like this?"

Yan Zhen was overjoyed: "Interesting, so interesting!"

She only dared to tease Zhou Yanqing like this because he has no memory of the past. Once they return to the Quick Transmigration Division, she wouldn't have the chance to do it even if she had two lives.

"..." Yan Heng crossed his arms and sat in the passenger seat, looking as angry as a quail.

The car stopped nearby, and Yan Zhen observed Yan Heng's expression before tentatively asking, "Mom and Dad are planning to finalize your marriage with Miss Li, and ideally, hold the wedding this year. What do you think?"

Yan Heng looked down and picked at his nails: "I don't want to get married."

"why?"

After a long pause, Yan Heng said, "I have no feelings for Miss Li."

"Feelings are something that can be cultivated." Yan Zhen said, adopting the tone of a gossipy auntie urging marriage during Chinese New Year. "You two rarely even see each other, how can you cultivate feelings? Why not just get married already? Isn't it popular to get married first and then fall in love these days?"

"But I have no desire to develop feelings for her at all."

"So, who do you want to develop a relationship with?"

Yan Heng was taken aback by these words, then, as if he had thought of something, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Yan Zhen, who had been observing his reaction, was pretty sure that Yan Heng was thinking of someone when the topic came up.

He has no memory now, so naturally he can't recall his girlfriend in the Quick Transmigration Division.

He was most likely thinking of the boy with the hearing aid.

It’s over.

He went too far with his joke and ruined someone's marriage.

"You're seeing someone else?" Yan Zhen asked.

Yan Heng quickly shook his head: "No, no."

"That's good." Yan Zhen said seriously, "You're engaged, you're not allowed to have affairs or date outside, understand?"

Yan Heng: "..."

He seemed about to say something in rebuttal, but Yan Zhen suddenly shouted sharply, "Did you hear me!"

Yan Heng was startled and exclaimed, "I...I heard it!"

After giving Yan Heng a stern warning, Yan Zhen kicked him out of the car. Before leaving, he reminded the bodyguards who were guarding Yan Heng in the urban village to keep an eye on him and to tell him immediately if they found him flirting with that young man.

Yan Zhen was determined to stop Yan Heng from cheating. If all else failed, he would intervene and send him away early, forcibly ending his mission and making him return to the Quick Transmigration Division first.

-

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Yun finished filming in another province and returned to Hangzhou.

The rest of the filming schedule is mainly in Hangzhou, and he will go home to rest in the evening.

Yan Zhen also chose to stay at his place most of the time, and to outsiders, the two were practically living together.

At the end of the month, it was Yan's mother's birthday, and the Yan family held a small family banquet.

Yan Heng came back for a visit. He seemed to have cleared things up with his father. At the banquet, the father and son shook hands and made peace. Yan's father was so happy that he drank a little more wine.

After the family dinner, Yan Heng returned to the urban village. Yan's father also said he felt a little dizzy and went to his room to rest early.

Yan Zhen accompanied her mother as they unwrapped dozens of gifts from relatives. The mother and daughter reminisced about the past together. Yan Zhen's mother was unusually talkative that night, and they didn't go back to their rooms until late at night.

Yan Zhen returned to the fifth floor, and her phone beeped with a message notification. She opened it and saw that it was a message from Xiao Yun.

"Is the banquet over?"

Yan Zhen casually replied, "Mm."

"Want to come over tonight?"

"Do not."

Two minutes later, Xiao Yun sent another message: "Do you want some soup?"

Yan Zhen sent a question mark.

Xiao Yun: "I'm outside your house."

He took a picture of the thermos placed on the passenger seat, and the view outside the car window was the road outside the Yan family manor.

Yan Zhen scrolled up the chat history and remembered that he had casually mentioned to Xiao Yun that he had a stomachache and couldn't eat anything at the dinner party.

Unexpectedly, he took it to heart and even made soup and brought it over.

"wait a second."

Yan Zhen went out and saw Xiao Yun leaning against the car outside the manor.

Yan Zhen's decision to go out was impromptu, and he was only wearing a thin nightgown. Winter had already arrived in Hangzhou. When Xiao Yun handed the soup to Yan Zhen, he touched Yan Zhen's hand, which was as cold as ice.

Why didn't you wear more clothes?

Xiao Yun pretended to take off his coat and give it to Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen hesitated for a moment: "No need, we'll be back in a bit. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Xiao Yun shook his head.

"Then I'm going back."

"……it is good."

Yan Zhen had only taken a few steps when Xiao Yun suddenly caught up and hugged her from behind.

Yan Zhen was slightly taken aback by his sudden action.

Xiao Yun kissed her on the cheek before letting go of her: "Goodnight."

"……Um."

Yan Zhen was carrying a thermos home when his phone suddenly rang halfway there.

She took it out and saw that it was a call from Yan's mother.

An ominous premonition washed over Yan Zhen, and as he swiped to answer the phone, he quickened his pace toward home: "Mom?"

"Zhenzhen, come down quickly, your dad is having an attack!"

Yan Zhen took off running.

When she rushed into the house, the housekeeper and bodyguards were carrying Yan's father out in a hurry.

Yan's father, who was perfectly fine during the family dinner that evening, now had a pale face and was unconscious.

Yan Zhen calmly arranged for a car to rush to the hospital as quickly as possible, and notified the hospital to prepare for emergency treatment on the way.

It only took more than ten minutes to get to the hospital under the Yan family's control, and Yan's father was taken into the operating room.

Yan's mother arrived later with Gao Xinyu; both the old woman and the young boy were quite frightened.

Yan Zhen comforted them for a while before they gradually calmed down.

It was only at this moment, after calming down, that Yan Zhen realized how cold it was.

She was in such a hurry that she was only wearing her pajamas, and even the hospital's heating couldn't keep out the winter chill in the empty space.

Yan Zhen was about to go to the tea room to pour a cup of hot water to warm her hands when she arrived. The door opened from the inside, and Xiao Yun, who had arrived at some point, was holding a cup of hot water.

He handed the hot water to Yan Zhen and then took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
