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

Chapter 567 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (46)

Perhaps it stems from the innate human tendency to be reluctant to let go once something is available, or perhaps it's from the greed of wanting more when suddenly feeling warmth after living in a cold and damp environment for a long time.

As Xiao Yun looked at Yan Zhen, his desires grew and spread little by little.

He wanted to possess this person, not as a lover or a kept man, but to stand by her side legitimately and openly enjoy the sense of security she provided.

Yan Zhen noticed that Xiao Yun was staring straight at him, seemingly lost in thought, his expression inscrutable.

She didn't bother to figure out what he was thinking and said, "You must be tired after staying up all night. Go back and rest."

"And what about you?" Xiao Yun asked.

"I'm going home," Yan Zhen said. "I'll contact you again if anything comes up."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Xiao Yun quickly followed, saying, "I'll see you off."

Yan Zhen asked, "Give me a ride? Do you have a car?"

Xiao Yun: "...Then you take me."

Yan Zhen: "..."

She was speechless for a moment, but she didn't refuse. She told her assistant, "Take him home first."

"Let's go together, I'll see you off first."

Yan Zhen gave Xiao Yun a strange look, keenly sensing that Xiao Yun's attitude towards her seemed to have become a little clingy.

Old Zhang was called over and first drove Yan Zhen back to the Yan family home.

Considering that Xiao Yun was also in the car, Yan Zhen did not intend to let Xiao Yun appear in front of the Yan family, so he had Lao Zhang stop the car when they were still several hundred meters away from the Yan family.

Just before she got out of the car, Xiao Yun suddenly grabbed her hand, hooked her little finger around it, and gently shook it.

Yan Zhen: "?"

"Want to come to my place for dinner tonight?"

"We'll see," Yan Zhen said.

Today is Monday. She has to go to the company this afternoon and will probably have to work overtime tonight, so she may not have time to go over.

"If you have time to come over, send me a message in advance and I'll cook you something delicious."

"Ah."

Yan Zhen got out of the car, and Lao Zhang quickly drove away.

She walked towards the Yan family's house, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

Why does Xiao Yun seem to have become more proactive?

Yan Zhen went home and took a nap, then went to the company in the afternoon.

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, there were many miscellaneous tasks at the company. Yan Zhen worked overtime until eight o'clock in the evening when his assistant, Xiao Yang, came in carrying a mooncake gift box and a basket of fruit.

"Mr. Yan, this is your holiday bonus."

"Thank you for your hard work, just leave it there."

Xiao Yang put the things on the desk, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Gao is waiting on the first floor. He's probably here to pick you up after get off work... He's been waiting for quite a while."

Gao Shenghan?

Pick her up from get off work?

Yan Zhen opened her phone and saw several WeChat messages floating in the pop-up window. Two of them were from Gao Shenghan, saying he would come to pick her up from work and wait for her in the lobby on the first floor.

One of the messages was from Xiao Yun, saying that the pickled vegetables he made before leaving for X province to film were ready to eat.

Although they were just words, Yan Zhen deduced from Gao Shenghan's words that one wouldn't visit a temple without a reason, while Xiao Yun's casual message conveyed an invitation.

Men are really interesting.

Yan Zhen shut down her computer, picked up her bag, and got up to leave work with mooncakes and a fruit basket.

As Yan Zhen stepped out of the elevator on the first floor, he saw Gao Shenghan sitting in the lobby.

After a few days apart, Gao Shenghan's brows furrowed with anxiety. He was currently frowning as he stared at his phone screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

Yan Zhen ignored him and walked straight through the lobby to leave.

However, Gao Shenghan had lived with the original owner for so many years and was very sensitive to the sound of the original owner's footsteps. He would immediately raise his head when he heard the sound of high heels.

Upon seeing Yan Zhen, Gao Shenghan immediately smiled, stood up, and quickly followed her, reaching out to take the fruit and mooncakes she was carrying.

"I'm off work," Gao Shenghan said with a smile. "I've booked your favorite restaurant, let's go have dinner."

Yan Zhen stepped aside to avoid his hand, continuing to walk: "Just say what you have to say."

Gao Shenghan: "..."

His face darkened, but he quickly masked it without making a sound.

"We haven't eaten together in a long time."

Yan Zhen countered, "Can you and I still have a relationship where we can sit down and have a meal together peacefully?"

“How could it not be?” Gao Shenghan said, “I never thought about divorcing you.”

Yan Zhen scoffed: "You're quite tolerant."

Gao Shenghan: "..."

When they arrived at the parking lot outside the company, Lao Zhang had already started the Maybach and turned on the headlights.

Seeing that Yan Zhen had no intention of giving him face, Gao Shenghan quickly grabbed her arm: "A-Zhen."

Yan Zhen paused in his steps.

"let's talk."

Yan Zhen glanced at the hand that was holding hers and said sarcastically, "Knowing you as I do, you're not a very patient person. The fact that you can tolerate my infidelity and continue to please me proves that there's something even more disgusting than my infidelity that makes you have to put up with me—tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Gao Shenghan's brow twitched.

He looked at his wife's indifferent face and hesitated whether to just lay everything out in the open.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he must get 30 million before then, otherwise Yu Yanfei will not let him off the hook.

Legally speaking, half of the assets in Yan Zhen's possession belong to him.

It's perfectly reasonable for him to demand his share of the assets.

Just as Gao Shenghan was about to speak, the door of the Maybach in the parking space suddenly opened, and a man wearing a baseball cap got out and walked straight towards the two of them.

Upon seeing the man, Yan Zhen and Gao Shenghan were both taken aback.

That person was Xiao Yun.

Yan Zhen was stunned because she didn't expect Xiao Yun to be so bold as to wait for her downstairs at the company.

Gao Shenghan was stunned because he didn't expect this bastard to be so bold as to openly steal his wife right under his nose.

What's the difference between this and just attacking head-on?

Xiao Yun walked up to Yan Zhen, ignoring Gao Shenghan's presence, and naturally reached out to take the things from Yan Zhen's hands—a mooncake gift box, a fruit basket, and a bag, taking them one by one.

Yan Zhen did not refuse and let him take it.

Xiao Yun, carrying his things, whispered to Yan Zhen, "I made your favorite soup. Come to my place tonight?"

Yan Zhen sensed the silent provocation in Xiao Yun's words towards Gao Shenghan, and was happy to see Gao Shenghan suffer a setback, so he agreed: "Okay."

After saying that, she was about to leave with Xiao Yun.

Gao Shenghan snapped out of his daze and immediately stopped Yan Zhen, his voice barely containing his anger: "Don't go too far!"

At this time, many company employees were leaving get off work. Seeing this scene from afar, several employees stopped and looked over.

"You can shout it even louder, and tomorrow the whole company will know I cheated on you."

Gao Shenghan said angrily, "If you're worried about others finding out, then don't do such a shameful thing!"

“I’m doing this for your own good,” Yan Zhen said. “Is it something to be proud of to let people know that you, a son-in-law of a wealthy family, can’t keep my heart? Do you believe that if word gets out about what happened tonight, a younger and more handsome man will come along and try to woo me tomorrow? You can’t even handle one mistress, what will you do if a few more come along?”
