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

Chapter 552 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (31)

After fooling Yan's mother, Yan Zhen returned to his room on the fifth floor.

She had just changed her clothes when Gao Shenghan came in.

His gaze was fixed on Yan Zhen, his eyes, which had been bloodshot from staying up all night, made him look somewhat ferocious.

Yan Zhen glanced at his clenched fists and wondered if he would lose his mind in anger and rush up to beat him up, or simply throw him off the fifth floor like in his previous life, so they could die together.

But this worry dissipated as Gao Shenghan spoke.

"Are you really going to divorce me?" Gao Shenghan asked, his voice low and hoarse, with a hint of playing the victim. "Don't you care at all about the years we've been together?"

Yan Zhen sat down at the dressing table and began to do her makeup: "What do you want to say?"

Gao Shenghan gritted his teeth, each word uttered with humiliation as if squeezed out from between his teeth: "I've broken up with that man. I'll pretend nothing happened. We'll be the same as before, and the same as before."

“It can’t be broken off,” Yan Zhen said. “You only have these two choices: either get a divorce or pretend you didn’t see it.”

Gao Shenghan: "...Have you thought about what Xiaoyu will think when he finds out about this?"

Using children as bargaining chips?

Yan Zhen said calmly, "Xiao Yu is ten years old this year. Over the years, I have never let him lack food or drink. Whenever I have time, I pick him up from school. From emotional support to material support, I have never neglected anything. I love him wholeheartedly. I am his mother, but before becoming his mother, I am a woman. I have to live for myself first."

My relationship with Xiao Yun doesn't conflict with my love for Xiao Yu. I will continue to love him wholeheartedly, and he will have everything that is rightfully his. However, if he demands that I break up with Xiao Yun in order to maintain a so-called "complete family," then I will have no choice but to let him leave the Yan family with you. After all, I'm not even forty yet, and having another child with Xiao Yun isn't out of the question.

Gao Shenghan: "..."

The way he looked at Yan Zhen was like he was looking at a stranger.

When did my wife become so heartless?

Yan Zhen put on simple makeup and headed to work at Yan's Corporation.

After she left, Gao Shenghan sat down on the bed with a pale face and ran his hands through his hair.

After feeling frustrated for a while, he looked up and saw himself reflected in the windowpane.

His face was ashen, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were dry and chapped, and he seemed to have more wrinkles on his face.

He stared at himself for a long time. Gradually, Xiao Yun's blurry but youthful and delicate face appeared next to his own face in the windowpane, making him look like an old cucumber that had lost its water.

Gao Shenghan's breathing became rapid. He suddenly grabbed a wooden ornament from the bedside table and tried to smash it against the window.

But reason stopped him at the last moment.

This is the Yan family's residence; he can't cause a scene here. If things escalate, even if he's in the right, he'll be in the wrong.

With trembling hands, Gao Shenghan tossed the ornament onto the bed, trying his best to calm his groggy mind and think about what to do next.

Divorce is out of the question. His current life is what many people dream of. Once divorced, he will be reduced to his original state, and may even be worse off than before.

By staying in the Yan family despite the marriage being in name only, at least he could still enjoy the life of a superior person.

Or... should I try my best to win back my wife's heart?

After much deliberation, Gao Shenghan decided to go find Xiao Yun and have a talk with him.

Not long after, Gao Shenghan drove away from the Yan family home and headed towards Fu'an Road.

However, when he arrived at Fu'an Road, he found out the specific floor and room number based on the name "Xiao Yun". When he opened the door, the room was already empty.

On the other side, Xiao Yun stood in the courtyard of a three-story detached villa, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He thought that Yan Zhen's offer to "give him a house" was just a casual way of getting rid of him.

But the villa in front of us has three floors, plus a yard, garage, and basement, covering an area of ​​at least two thousand square meters.

In such a prime location, the value is at least over 200 million.

A house worth hundreds of millions was just given to him like that?

Just as Xiao Yun was still in a daze, not knowing whether to be happy or to clutch his head in pain after being hit on the head by a golden egg falling from the sky, a man of about thirty-five years old walked out of the villa.

The man was Yan Zhen's newly hired assistant, surnamed Ji.

"Mr. Xiao, everything has been moved in," Assistant Ji said. "Miss has assigned you two nannies, two bodyguards, and a driver. I have sent them your contact information, and they will be here in half an hour."

Xiao Yun was startled and quickly said, "No, no, no, I can take care of myself..."

"This is the young lady's wish."

Assistant Ji shut Xiao Yun down with a single sentence.

Seeing that Xiao Yun remained silent, Assistant Ji continued, "The young lady has provided you with three vehicles: a regular sedan for daily travel, a sports car for your leisure trips, and a motorhome for your commute and rest. They will be delivered within the next two days."

Xiao Yun: "..."

"Also, Miss asked me to buy you some clothes. A staff member will come to your home later to take your measurements," Assistant Ji said politely, then turned to Xiao Yun. "Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Xiao Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "I want a shovel."

Assistant Ji asked in confusion, "What?"

Xiao Yun turned his head to look at the roses in the yard that hadn't been tended to for a while, and said in a low voice, "Winter is coming soon, it's time to bury winter fertilizer for them."

assistant:"……"

After the shovel was delivered, Assistant Ji left.

Xiao Yun rolled up his sleeves and began pruning the roses in the yard.

He was busy from morning till evening, pruning branches and burying winter fertilizer, then repairing the lawn, and finally cleaning up the fish pond behind the yard.

When the doorbell rang outside the gate, Xiao Yun assumed it was someone delivering something and quickly walked over before the nanny could open the door.

However, when Xiao Yun saw Gao Shenghan with a gloomy face standing outside the ornate iron gate, he paused in his steps.

As a "third party" who interfered in someone else's marriage, Xiao Yun felt guilty in front of Gao Shenghan, and knew that it couldn't be anything good for him to come knocking on her door at this time.

Moreover, seeing the venomous look on the other person's face as she stared at him, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces, and considering that he had followed her all the way last night, Xiao Yun knew about his affair with Yan Zhen, so this original wife was most likely already aware of it.

When Xiao Yun opened the door, he was mentally prepared to be beaten.

Gao Shenghan walked into the courtyard, but did not immediately lash out. Instead, he glanced at the house.

His wife owns multiple properties, some bought on a whim, some as investments, and some given to her by her parents as gifts.

This villa, valued at 230 million yuan, was a 30th birthday gift from Yan's father to his daughter.

But now, Yan Zhen has given it to Xiao Yun.
