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

Chapter 192 Killing the Cuckoo (7)

Li Tingyi was taken aback.

Fang Yihe has a very good temper. His maturity, composure, and tolerance are reflected in every aspect, including never raising his voice to him.

This was the first time he had ever retorted to him in such an impatient tone.

Li Tingyi's anger instantly surged to the top of his head. He kicked the air vent on the passenger side and cursed, "Do you think I'm blind? If you weren't nice to her, would that bitch look at you with such a lustful expression? You keep saying you don't like her and have no feelings for her, but when she helps you get dressed and serves you food, why don't you refuse?"

Faced with the crazed Li Tingyi, Fang Yihe felt a throbbing pain in her forehead.

He and Li Tingyi have been together for five years.

Seven years ago, he was invited back to his alma mater to participate in the university's 80th anniversary celebration, where he fell in love at first sight with Li Tingyi, who was only nineteen years old at the time and a sophomore.

Good at studying, good-looking, and with top-notch professional skills, Li Tingyi is outstanding and proud. It took Fang Yihe nearly two years to win him over. In order to please him, he, who was always the top, was willing to be the bottom.

Over the past five years, the two have had countless arguments, ninety percent of which were caused by Li Tingyi's paranoia and fiery temper.

He's like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

Fang Yihe understood that he lacked a sense of security, so she tried her best to be tolerant and accommodating to him. Almost every time they argued, she would apologize and admit her mistake.

But today he felt very tired, not only because Li Tingyi had hurled insults at him in anger, but also because there was no suitable solution to the matter at present.

He married Gao Li, and Gao Li became pregnant with his child. If nothing unexpected happens, his wife and child will continue to exist.

Li Tingyi became extremely jealous and saw Gao Li and the child as a thorn between them. Every time he was hurt, he would turn the pain into an attack and retaliate against him.

Fang Yi opened her mouth, wanting to say something like "You've misunderstood," "I swear I have no feelings for her," or "She's just a tool I used to silence my parents" to appease Li Tingyi, as she always did.

But when the words were about to come out, they turned into, "How about I divorce her and make our relationship public?"

Li Tingyi was taken aback, then erupted even more violently: "You fucking threaten me?"

Fang Yihe: "..."

"parking!!"

Fang Yihe didn't stop. If he let Li Tingyi leave now, it would take at least two months of coaxing for him to calm down.

He refused to stop, and in a fit of rage, Li Tingyi slammed his elbow against the car window.

Fang Yi was worried that he would get hurt, so she had no choice but to pull over and stop the car.

Li Tingyi said, "Go ahead and live with whoever you want, just don't let me see you again," and got out of the car without looking back.

At this moment, Yan Zhen, who was at home, listened to the whole thing through the bug and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Based on her observations over the past few days, Fang Yihe's relationship with Li Tingyi wasn't as solid as she had imagined.

There is a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

With Li Tingyi's capricious nature, even the best relationships can be ruined by arguments.

Having successfully aroused Li Tingyi's jealousy, Yan Zhen began to plan his next move.

For the next week, Fang Yihe used the excuse of having to work overtime at the research institute to stay home until 11 p.m. every day.

Yan Zhen knew that he spent all his time after get off work trying to appease Li Tingyi.

But judging from his increasingly haggard and dejected appearance, Li Tingyi has not yet forgiven him.

After seven days, Yan Zhen figured the time was right, so on Sunday noon she took the medication to terminate the pregnancy and then drove to Li Tingyi's residence.

She waited outside the residential compound for an entire afternoon, until evening when she finally saw Li Tingyi leave the compound and head to a nearby supermarket.

Yan Zhen immediately followed and entered the supermarket. When she got out of the car, she clearly felt a slight pain in her stomach.

After entering the supermarket, Yan Zhen wandered around the dried goods section, threw a few expensive medicinal herbs for soup into her shopping cart, and then "casually" appeared in front of Li Tingyi.

"Xiao Li, what a coincidence!" Yan Zhen feigned surprise. "You're here to shop at the supermarket too?"

Li Tingyi was dressed casually and acted relaxed. When he saw her, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes and then gave a perfunctory smile that wasn't very genuine: "Yes, to buy some daily necessities."

As he spoke, he asked in confusion, "Your home is half an hour's drive from here, why did you come all this way to buy things?"

Yan Zhen had done her research and knew that Li Tingyi was a regular customer of this supermarket, and that the supermarket was well-known in Ningcheng for its various expensive and rare mountain products and tonics.

"I'm here to buy some local mountain produce to make nourishing soup for Yihe," Yan Zhen said with a smile. "I heard that this supermarket has particularly good local mountain produce and tonics, which I can't find in my area."

Li Tingyi understood: "So that's how it is—"

He and Fang Yi were in a cold war, and the thought that this woman was the trigger for their argument made him dislike her no matter what.

While Yan Zhen tiptoed to reach the top shelf, Li Tingyi rolled her eyes at her.

The top shelf was nearly two meters high, and even on tiptoe, Yan Zhen couldn't reach the heavy box. She could only turn to Li Tingyi for help: "Xiao Li, could you help me get this down?"

Li Tingyi hadn't intended to pay her any attention, but since she had already spoken, and given that he was now acting as Fang Yi's friend and business partner, he could only suppress his displeasure and walk over to her, reaching out to take down the box of goods that weighed seven or eight pounds.

As soon as the goods left the shelf, Yan Zhen reached out to take them.

Before Li Tingyi could even utter "I'll do it," an unexpected turn of events occurred—he felt an electric shock on his arm, which instantly became both sore and numb, causing the box of mountain produce weighing seven or eight pounds to crash directly down towards Yan Zhen below.

With a muffled thud, Yan Zhen was hit and fell heavily to the ground, his back hitting the shopping cart, which was full of mountain products and slid far away in an instant.

Li Tingyi's mind went blank. He watched helplessly as her face turned pale, she clutched her stomach and tried to scream but couldn't make a sound. Clear fluid seeped between her legs, soaking her loose maternity dress...

Shoppers nearby rushed over and, seeing the situation, immediately called for supermarket staff: "Quick, someone come quick! A pregnant woman has fallen here!"

The supermarket manager arrived quickly, helping Yan Zhen sit up while calling for an ambulance. While waiting for the ambulance, he also inquired about the cause of the incident.

More and more people gathered around. Two customers who were nearby witnessed the whole thing. Pointing at the stunned Li Tingyi, they said, "The man was taking something from the shelf, and the pregnant woman went up to help him. He suddenly let go, and the box fell and hit the pregnant woman."

The murder weapon was still lying next to it, along with a generous box of freshly stewed ready-to-eat bird's nest.

Something this heavy falling on the head of a pregnant woman in her late gestation period could be fatal.

Immediately, the onlookers all looked at Li Tingyi with condemning eyes.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Li Tingyi was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

He tried his best to calm himself down and explained, "I didn't suddenly let go. I was shocked by something, and my hand lost its grip, so the thing fell and hit her. I didn't do it on purpose."

The supermarket manager looked at Yan Zhen and asked her to verify whether what Li Tingyi said was true or false.

This relates to the proportion of responsibility that the supermarket will have to bear subsequently.

Yan Zhen gripped the manager's hand tightly, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He neither admitted nor denied it, and after a long while, a painful groan escaped his throat.

"I think I'm going into labor, honey... could you please... call my husband over?"
