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

Chapter 522 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (1)

Yan Zhen woke up in his new body, his head was dizzy and his temples were throbbing.

This feeling is familiar, like a headache after a hangover.

She opened her eyes and found herself lying on a bed in a luxury hotel room, covered with silky blankets, her bare arms feeling cool.

Yan Zhen looked around warily, and when her gaze fell on the other side of the bed, she paused slightly.

A naked man was lying next to her.

She knew that face all too well—Jing Chen.

What could be more frustrating than breaking up one second and finding yourself in the same bed as your ex the next?

Having not yet read the walkthrough, Yan Zhen had no idea what had happened before today.

But judging from the clothes scattered all over the floor, the man being completely naked, and himself only wearing underwear, and the lack of any signs of discomfort or sexual activity, it seems that nothing happened between them last night.

Nothing happened, yet she's lying here naked. The original owner couldn't possibly have arranged to meet this man at a hotel and just chat under the covers, could she?

Yan Zhen threw off the covers and got out of bed, picking up his clothes and putting them on while opening the walkthrough.

Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing the information in the strategy guide.

The original owner of this body shared the same name as her, Yan Zhen.

The original owner, Yan Zhen, is 38 years old this year. She is married and has a son with her husband.

Her husband was not the man in bed who looked to be under thirty.

The original owner, Yan Zhen, was the eldest daughter of the Yan family, the richest family in Hangzhou. She grew up in luxury, graduated from a prestigious university, and was multi-talented. She was a gentle, romantic, and sentimental rich and beautiful woman.

At the age of 25, Yan Zhen graduated with a master's degree. While attending a business dinner with her parents, she met actor Gao Shenghan, who was also attending the dinner.

Gao Shenghan is two years older than Yan Zhen. He worked his way up from being an extra to playing the second or third male lead in various dramas, and has become somewhat famous in the entertainment industry.

With a good image and temperament, and decent acting skills, Gao Shenghan has never encountered any good scripts, and his acting resources have been scarce. For more than ten years since entering the industry, he has always been stuck in the third tier.

When the two met for the first time, Yan Zhen didn't have a deep impression of Gao Shenghan. After all, the business banquet was full of celebrities, top stars, and countless movie stars. Gao Shenghan's status was not up to par at all.

Just a few days later, Yan Zhen, who often participated in stray animal rescue charity activities, met Gao Shenghan at a stray cat rescue base. Gao Shenghan brought an orange cat that had been run over by a car and had broken its hind leg to the base for help.

The rescue center is overcrowded with cats and short-staffed, so they said they couldn't help with the orange cat that Gao Shenghan brought in.

Gao Shenghan could only awkwardly hug the cat and prepare to leave.

At this moment, Yan Zhen stopped him and asked him what he planned to do with the cat.

Gao Shenghan didn't seem to recognize Yan Zhen and said helplessly, "Take it to the hospital. If it can be saved, we can find it a home... Are you a staff member of the base? Can you recommend a reliable pet hospital?"

Yan Zhen pointed out a pet hospital three kilometers away to him.

Gao Shenghan found the hospital on the map and added Yan Zhen on WeChat, explaining that "I have no experience in taking care of kittens, so I'll ask you for help if I encounter anything I don't understand."

After adding each other on WeChat, Gao Shenghan would send messages to Yan Zhen every now and then.

Today's news is: "The doctor said that Xiao Huang's hind leg bone is broken and recommends surgery."

"I had surgery today, and Xiao Huang still hasn't woken up. I'm a little worried."

The day after tomorrow, "Little Yellow woke up and ate some liquid food. The doctor said it was very strong, but its leg may have some sequelae."

For nearly three months, the two of them talked about the stray cat named Xiao Huang whenever they contacted each other.

After Xiao Huang was discharged from the hospital, Gao Shenghan adopted it.

This incident left Yan Zhen with the initial impression that "Gao Shenghan is quite kind-hearted."

The two met for the third time at a stray cat rescue center. Gao Shenghan became a volunteer, volunteering to clean up after the stray cats, scoop their litter, feed them, and clean the facility. He also donated a large amount of cat food and litter.

Because they often met at the rescue base, the two quickly became acquainted.

Getting scratched and bitten while caring for stray cats is common for Gao Shenghan, but he never gets angry. Even when cleaning up the mess left by a sick kitten, he doesn't back down despite the stench.

In his words, "After adopting Xiao Huang, I realized how difficult it is for these little guys who wander the city to survive."

Gentle, kind, and sharing common interests, coupled with his tall and handsome appearance, Yan Zhen's affection for Gao Shenghan grew stronger day by day.

After a year and a half of getting to know each other, the two confirmed their romantic relationship.

After dating for more than a year, Yan Zhen and Yan Zhen got married when Yan Zhen was 27 years old.

When the wedding was held, many media outlets reported on the event, jokingly saying that Gao Shenghan had "married into a wealthy family."

At 28, Yan Zhen gave birth to a boy, whom she named Gao Xinyu.

As Yan Zhen spent more time with Gao Shenghan, she gradually discovered many flaws in him.

For example, he is a very impatient person. The stray cat Xiao Huang that he adopted is not very friendly. After raising it for several years, it would bare its teeth and hiss fiercely at Gao Shenghan whenever it saw him. Sometimes it would rush up without warning and scratch Gao Shenghan hard with its claws.

Once, Gao Shenghan was scratched so badly that there were several bloody marks on the back of his hand. He was so angry that he grabbed Xiao Huang and threw it to the ground, almost killing Xiao Huang.

For example, he is very vain. After marriage, Yan Zhen introduced him to many things he had never been exposed to before, and he would post a message on his WeChat Moments almost every two or three days.

They either flaunt their luxury cars, watches, estates, and villas, or they show off their expensive vinyl records, the thoroughbred horses raised at the Yan family's horse farm, and their leisurely life of fishing and playing golf.

Moreover, ever since he "married" into a wealthy family, Gao Shenghan's ambition has faded. He is picky about the resources offered to him, and when he finally finds a script he likes, he goes on strike and refuses to go to the set because it is too cold.

The director was so angry that he posted on Weibo, naming him and accusing him of "acting like a big shot".

Yan Zhen's parents had many complaints about his actions that affected the Yan family's image and reputation.

Therefore, Yan Zhen had a long talk with him.

Gao Shenghan readily admitted his mistake. After reflecting on it, he told Yan Zhen that he was not suited to make a living in the entertainment industry, so he simply left the industry and started learning how to do business.

Seeing his ambition, Yan Zhen was very pleased and used his personal assets to support his business.

But despite pouring money in and Gao Shenghan always being busy with business trips, there were no returns. When the accounts were settled at the end of the year, the books showed huge losses.

Yan Zhen became suspicious and questioned Gao Shenghan. Gao Shenghan gave evasive answers, saying that he had no experience and that was why he had lost money. He then vowed that he would do a good job next year.

However, in the second and third years, the books still showed losses.

The Yan family is large and wealthy, so it's not that they can't afford to lose this money, but Yan Zhen always felt that Gao Shenghan was lying to her.

She used her connections to investigate and discovered that Gao Shenghan's so-called business was a front; all the large sums of money he had thrown in that had gone unreturned had been gambled away by him.
