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

Chapter 535 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (14)

After leaving the hotel, Yan Zhen drove to the hospital first.

Yan's father's condition has improved a lot. When Yan Zhen entered the ward, Yan's mother was sitting by the bedside peeling an apple for him. The couple were chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing Yan Zhen enter, Yan's father immediately beamed with joy and invited his daughter to sit down.

“I heard about what happened yesterday from Vice President Chen. I didn’t expect you to be able to control the situation,” Yan’s father said. “It’s good that you were here this time.”

Yan Zhen smiled and said, "I was ordered to take on this mission in a time of crisis, and I had to bite the bullet and go into battle. But after experiencing it once, I think the business world is like a battlefield, which is quite interesting."

"Dad, I have nothing to do at home anyway. After you're discharged from the hospital, why don't you spend more time with me and teach me how to manage the company? That way, if there's an emergency at the company, I can help out like I did yesterday."

Yan's father is a very traditional person at heart. He believes that women are not as good as men and has never thought of letting his daughter take over the company.

If Yan Zhen were to use yesterday's achievements to ask her father to hand over the company to her, he would definitely not agree.

But if someone were to enter the company step by step under the guise of helping him with emergencies and getting in touch with the core management team, Yan's father would probably not refuse.

As expected, Yan's father agreed after hearing the story: "Okay."

The father and daughter chatted for a while, then Yan's mother reminded her, "Zhenzhen, your son-in-law is still in the hospital. Have you gone to see him yet?"

Yan Zhen remained expressionless: "I'll go in a bit."

Yan's mother keenly sensed a subtle change in her daughter's attitude toward Gao Shenghan, so when Yan Zhen left, she followed her out of the ward.

"Zhenzhen, did you and Shenghan have a fight?"

"No," Yan Zhen asked knowingly. "Mom, why do you ask that?"

“These past few days…” Yan’s mother hesitated, “It’s inevitable for couples to have minor arguments when they live together. Shenghan is usually so tolerant of you, and he has taken good care of you since you got sick. If there are any conflicts, just talk them out. Don’t keep them bottled up inside and cause the couple to drift apart.”

Looking at her mother's concerned expression, Yan Zhen felt both amused and saddened.

Yan's mother deeply loves her daughter. Because she is grateful to Gao Shenghan for his tolerance and understanding of her sick daughter, she extends that love to her son-in-law and thinks he is a good person.

But the "good person" in Yan's mother's eyes in her previous life single-handedly wiped out the entire Yan family and died mysteriously.

At the same time, Yan's mother is a very perceptive person. Whether it was sensing something was wrong after her daughter was killed by Gao Shenghan in her previous life, or seeing the change in her daughter's relationship with Gao Shenghan now, she has a woman's and a mother's innate sixth sense.

Knowing that she couldn't hide her dislike for Gao Shenghan from her mother, Yan Zhen simply asked, "Mom, if I divorce Gao Shenghan, will you support me?"

Yan's mother was stunned for a moment, and then she was shocked when she realized what was going on. She quickly pulled Yan Zhen aside and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why did it suddenly escalate to the point of divorce?"

Yan Zhen said casually, "I don't love him anymore."

"This... Oh dear! Oh dear!" Yan's mother was a little at a loss. "Weren't you two fine just a while ago? How can you suddenly stop loving each other? You've been married for over ten years, and Xiaoyu is already ten years old. Now you're asking for a divorce, what are you going to do with Xiaoyu?"

"I just want to divorce Gao Shenghan, not to die with him." Yan Zhen blinked and said innocently, "Xiaoyu is so grown up now. After the divorce, whether he wants to live with me or with Gao Shenghan, I will respect his choice."

Besides, Xiaoyu has lived with us all these years, he hasn't lacked money or love, he has a well-rounded personality and independent thinking, and I believe he can understand my actions.

Yan's mother still couldn't accept it: "Does it really have to be a divorce? Can't we try to salvage it?"

Yan Zhen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Mom, I just wanted to let you know. As for the divorce... I'll think about it some more."

Upon hearing this, Yan's mother quickly said, "Think it over carefully, really think it over."

Yan's mother had witnessed firsthand how good her daughter and son-in-law's relationship was over the years. If it weren't for dire circumstances, she wouldn't want to see her daughter's family fall apart.

"it is good."

Yan Zhen went to Gao Shenghan's ward on another floor.

When I saw Gao Shenghan, the redness and swelling on his face had almost subsided, but he looked a little pale because of the medicine he had taken.

The two looked at each other, Gao Shenghan remained silent with a sullen face.

Yan Zhen knew that he was silently protesting his disappearance for two days and his failure to visit him in the hospital.

She pretended not to see, put down her bag, sat down on the sofa, and casually asked, "How are you? Did the doctor say when you can be discharged?"

Seeing that she had no intention of comforting him, Gao Shenghan became even more annoyed: "If you really care, why don't you go ask the doctor?"

Yan Zhen glanced at him, then looked away.

One of the people she hated most in her life was the gambler.

Especially those idiots who gamble until they're bankrupt, sell their children, and still can't stop.

Facing Gao Shenghan at this moment, Yan Zhen felt an impatience that made him not even want to pretend anymore.

This kind of person doesn't deserve her feigned kindness and affection, even if it's just to complete a task.

Gao Shenghan was stunned by his wife's impatient and disgusted gaze.

Why did Yan Zhen give him that look?

Did she know something?

Thinking about this, a huge sense of unease and panic welled up in my heart.

Seeing Yan Zhen get up to leave, Gao Shenghan immediately called out to her, "A-Zhen!"

Yan Zhen said coldly, "What?"

Gao Shenghan glanced at her expression and asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

"My dad is sick, didn't you know?" Yan Zhen asked, frowning.

Gao Shenghan quickly replied, "I know, Dad is in the hospital upstairs. I went up to see him this morning."

“Since you know Dad is in the hospital, you should be able to imagine that the company is very busy. I’m overwhelmed with work and haven’t slept well for two or three days,” Yan Zhen scolded. “You’re already feeling unwell, and you’re still making a fuss with me, blaming me for not coming to see you. You’re so inconsiderate.”

Upon hearing this, Gao Shenghan silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it seems his wife is unaware of what he has done.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." Gao Shenghan quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed, walked to Yan Zhen's side and put his arm around her shoulder. "Since I was hospitalized, I've only been thinking about myself and haven't considered your feelings. I apologize to you, my dear wife. Please don't hold it against me, okay?"

If this were any other time, Gao Shenghan would have coaxed the original owner away in a gentle and soft-spoken manner, and the original owner would have calmed down no matter how much dissatisfaction she had.

But Yan Zhen isn't so easily appeased.

She brushed Gao Shenghan's hand away and said coldly, "Just focus on getting better and don't cause me any trouble."

Gao Shenghan: "..."

As Gao Shenghan watched his wife walk out of the ward with her bag, his brows slowly furrowed.

Is it an illusion?

Why does he feel like his wife doesn't love him at all anymore?
