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

Chapter 556 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (35)

She glanced at Gao Shenghan and saw that there were scratch marks on his neck, his cheeks were slightly swollen, and one of his hands was wrapped in gauze. Although his injuries were not serious, he still put on a pathetic look as if he had been beaten up by his unfaithful wife and her lover.

Yan Zhen walked up to him and, before Gao Shenghan could speak, raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.

Gao Shenghan was caught off guard and turned his face to the side.

He turned around, looking at Yan Zhen in disbelief: "You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Zhen slapped her hard across the face again, so hard that her hand went slightly numb.

After being slapped twice in a row, Gao Shenghan's temper flared up instantly, but considering that they were in the Yan family's house and there were servants and pet breeders in the cat room next door, he could only cover his face and say angrily in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Zhen sneered: "Weren't you going to play the victim in front of my parents? I'm just giving you material."

Gao Shenghan: "...You cheated on me and you still think you're right?"

"Tell me you're being reasonable? If I were reasonable, I wouldn't have cheated on you." Yan Zhen looked at him with an air of smugness. "Either you obediently get a divorce, or you behave yourself. If you dare to pull any more of these petty tricks to sow discord between me and my family, I'll make sure you lose everything!"

Gao Shenghan: "..."

He stared intently at Yan Zhen, his chest heaving violently with anger.

After venting his anger, Yan Zhen shook his arms and turned to leave.

Gao Shenghan watched her departing figure, his teeth almost grinding to powder.

Don't let it flare up, don't panic.

He tried his best to calm himself down.

Once his emotions calmed down and his reason returned, Gao Shenghan quickly came up with a new solution.

He didn't dare to touch Yan Zhen, so what about Xiao Yun?

I heard he has a gambling addict father who's heavily in debt?

In the evening, Yan Zhen went to pick up Gao Xinyu from school.

On the way home, the mother and son sat in the back seat. Gao Xinyu looked worried and glanced at Yan Zhen every now and then.

Seeing that he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, Yan Zhen decided to be direct and said, "Xiao Yu, I'm planning to divorce your father."

Gao Xinyu was not surprised at all; he just looked at her with concern.

"Is divorce absolutely necessary?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"Because I'm not happy with him," Yan Zhen patiently explained to him. "Do you have anyone you dislike at school?"

Gao Xinyu nodded.

"Imagine if you had to live under the same roof with this annoying person 24 hours a day, eating and sleeping together every day, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"

Gao Xinyu tried to put himself in that position, then frowned and said, "Yes."

“Your father and I are in the same situation; we can’t stand each other,” Yan Zhen said. “So we’ve decided to separate; it’s better for both of us.”

“But Dad doesn’t want to be separated from you,” Gao Xinyu said softly. “He looks very sad.”

If someone you dislike tells you they want to live under the same roof as you, eat and sleep together, or they'll be heartbroken, would you compromise?

Gao Xinyu shook his head and said, "You and Dad are husband and wife, while I'm just classmates with the person I hate. These are not the same thing."

“I have no feelings for your father anymore,” Yan Zhen said. “We all share the feeling of disliking someone. Since it’s reached the point where we can’t force it anymore, why should we continue to put up with it? Just because I have you with him, and we are husband and wife in name only?”

Gao Xinyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.

“I understand your anxiety.” Yan Zhen patted his head. “I will handle this matter as soon as possible, it won’t drag on for too long.”

To keep Gao Xinyu company, Yan Zhen stayed at the Yan family home until almost 10 o'clock, and only left after Gao Xinyu had fallen asleep.

When they arrived at Xiao Yun's villa, her car had just stopped at the door when Xiao Yun, hearing the noise, immediately ran out and opened the car door for her.

Yan Zhen got out of the car and saw that Xiao Yun was dressed in casual clothes and wearing a glove on one hand, obviously busy.

"What are you busy with? Why aren't you resting?"

Xiao Yun said, "I finished work a little late today, and I just got back not long ago."

Yan Zhen entered the house and passed by the kitchen. She noticed the light was on and glanced at it, only to find that Xiao Yun was pickling vegetables. There were also many handmade dumplings on the kitchen counter, and the nanny was packing them one by one into a dumpling box, preparing to put them in the freezer.

"Is this all you do after you get back from work?" Yan Zhen asked.

These tasks could clearly be left to the nanny.

Moreover, she hired a nanny to free Xiao Yun from trivial matters, but he seems to have become even busier since he came here.

Xiao Yun's expression immediately turned awkward when she asked him in such a critical tone.

He belatedly realized that a young lady like Yan Zhen could eat pickled vegetables with him that experts considered to have excessive nitrite levels, or eat things he made himself, just for the sake of romance, but these things were not necessities for her.

When he's not around, she can go to fancy restaurants and have a housekeeper cook for her when she gets home.

The pickled vegetables and frozen dumplings made his attentiveness seem somewhat superfluous.

When Yan Zhen saw Xiao Yun's expression, he knew that Xiao Yun's inferiority complex was acting up again.

What kind of filling do the dumplings have?

Xiao Yun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Corn and pork filling and beef filling."

"Let's make one," Yan Zhen said, sitting down on the sofa and stretching her arms. "I didn't eat enough for dinner."

Xiao Yun's expression instantly brightened: "Okay!"

He turned and ran into the kitchen to cook dumplings.

Yan Zhen watched as Xiao Yun seamlessly switched from a melancholy and self-conscious demeanor to a happy one, and silently thought to himself, "It's not so bad to be such a single-minded person; a little sunshine and you'll shine."

Xiao Yun made three servings of dumplings: two soup dumplings with different broths and one pan-fried dumpling.

While Yan Zhen was eating dumplings, he sat next to him peeling a pomegranate.

The dumplings tasted good; the filling was fresh and fragrant. As Yan Zhen ate, he casually asked, "What time do we leave tomorrow?"

"The plane is at nine o'clock."

"Be careful, call me if anything happens..." Yan Zhen wanted to say he would call her, but then he remembered that he was in Hangzhou, thousands of miles away from X Province where Xiao Yun was filming, and even if something happened, he wouldn't be able to get there immediately.

She changed her mind and said, "Call Xiaojing."

"Okay, I will."

After finishing her dumplings, Yan Zhen went upstairs to wash up, then sat on the sofa, applying a face mask while scrolling through her WeChat Moments.

Upon refreshing the page, Yu Yanfei's name appeared on the homepage.

Yu Yanfei posted a signed photo of a certain actress.

Yan Zhen looked at the post on WeChat Moments, an idea came to her mind, she liked the post, then turned off her phone and went to sleep.

Yan family.

When Gao Shenghan saw the like under Yu Yanfei's post on his WeChat Moments before bed, he thought he was seeing things.

He immediately sat up straight, following the likes of the account labeled "Wife," and opened the other person's WeChat Moments.
