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

Chapter 673 Dawn (79)

Upon seeing Yan Zhen stride in with a dark expression, Jing Chen immediately stood up.

“Zhen…”

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Zhen grabbed his collar and dragged him out of the conference room.

The people in the meeting room looked at each other, all of them looking bewildered.

Jing Chen was dragged out of the conference room by Yan Zhen and pulled all the way to the rooftop.

He was much taller than Yan Zhen, and as she dragged him forward at a fast pace, he could only bend slightly to match her movements. Not only did he stagger along the way, but he also had to endure the shocked and puzzled looks from the staff.

Once they reached the rooftop, Yan Zhen finally let go of her hand.

Before Jing Chen could even stand up straight, he was punched in the face, which knocked his head to the side.

From the force of that punch, he realized that Yan Zhen was truly angry.

Jing Chen pressed his tongue against his numb cheek, looked at Yan Zhen for a while, and then said, "Why are you angry?"

Yan Zhen glared at him fiercely: "Don't you know what you've done?"

Jing Chen: "..."

He thought of Qi Yu.

At this time, Yan Zhen did not know Qi Yu, nor did she know that meeting him was arranged by her. Logically, she should not be so angry.

Jing Chen frowned: "Explain yourself clearly, don't just get angry."

Yan Zhen clenched his fists, reason and anger battling within him.

While she wanted to rush up and give Jingchen a good beating, she kept telling herself that it was okay to get angry, but she had to make her point clearly, otherwise her actions today would be seen as being unreasonable.

Under such psychological suggestion, Yan Zhen tried his best to calm down.

With this moment of calm, Yan Zhen regained his clarity of mind and quickly began to weigh the pros and cons.

Over the years in the Quick Transmigration Division, no matter how complex or difficult the tasks were, she rarely lost her temper.

On the one hand, she knows that losing her temper mostly only drains her emotions and does not help with task completion. On the other hand, after experiencing so much, very few people and things can arouse her emotional fluctuations anymore.

But when she saw Qi Yu today, she was so angry that she almost lost her mind.

The reason behind her "loss of reason" is nothing more than realizing that Jing Chen wants to push her away completely. To this end, he went so far as to bring her first love from her previous life from Yuncheng and went to great lengths to create chance encounters between her and Qi Yu.

The person who understands her best in this world is Jing Chen; he knows what kind of men she would be attracted to.

The reason she was so angry about Jingchen's attempt to push her away was because she didn't want to let go of Jingchen.

She didn't know if Jingchen had ulterior motives for coming into this world and raising her from a young age.

If so, then he succeeded.

He appeared when she was at her weakest, devoted himself to her wholeheartedly, and took meticulous care of her day after day for thirteen years.

His kindness permeated her soul subtly and silently.

She can't live without him anymore.

Since you're unwilling to let go of Jingchen and watch him push you away and turn to someone else, then it's time to lay your cards on the table.

Yan Zhen made her decision in a few short moments, and when she looked up at Jing Chen again, her eyes were filled with determination.

“I met someone in the elevator. His name is Qi Yu.” Yan Zhen looked directly into Jing Chen’s eyes. “In my previous life, he was my boyfriend.”

Jing Chen was taken aback.

When he realized the immense amount of information contained in that sentence, his pupils contracted sharply in shock, and he involuntarily staggered back two steps.

"You...you are Yan Zhen."

“Yes, I am Yan Zhen.” Yan Zhen took two steps forward and approached him.

Jing Chen's expression quickly shifted from shock to helplessness: "...When did you get here?"

“When I was seven years old,” Yan Zhen said, “the day you carried me away on the mountain road leading from Xiangjia Village to the county town.”

Jing Chen: "…………………………"

He seemed to be thinking of something, and his ears slowly turned red.

The redness spread rapidly to his cheeks and neck, and Jingchen's entire body visibly flushed.

He looked away, unable to meet Yan Zhen's gaze: "...Why did you come here?"

“Zhou Yanqing sent me. He said you were going to commit suicide and asked me to stop you and take you back.”

Jing Chen's face turned from red to white: "I didn't... so you've been acting alongside me for thirteen years?"

Yan Zhen fell silent for a moment.

Jing Chen's face grew increasingly grim: "You're lying..."

With a sharp "smack," Yan Zhen raised her hand and slapped him across the face, interrupting his impending outburst.

Jing Chen was stunned by the blow.

But after being slapped, the person in front of him, though still the same person, strangely transformed from the lively "younger sister" he spent every day with into the "older sister" who always looked down on everyone with the eyes of someone looking at dogs.

Faced with Yan Zhen like this, Jing Chen's aura unconsciously diminished.

"What are you yelling about? If anyone's going to settle scores, it's me first," Yan Zhen said coldly. "I'm asking you, why won't you marry me?"

Jing Chen: "..."

"say!"

Jing Chen's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and it took him a while to say with difficulty, "I didn't come here to take advantage of having memories to occupy you. I want to accompany you through this life as family, and... to make up for everything you missed and lost in your past life."

Yan Zhen wasn't ungrateful. Hearing this, her aggressive tone softened slightly: "I don't need you to take matters into your own hands."

"..." Jing Chen seemed to want to say something, but he held back.

Yan Zhen frowned: "Speak plainly."

Jing Chen then said defiantly, "You don't need it because you have memories."

“Even without my memories, I don’t need you to plan out the rest of my life for me!” Yan Zhen said. “You changed the course of my life, so why do you think that I would make the same choices as in my past life given my current spiritual and material circumstances?”

Jing Chen: "..."

"If I don't object, are you really planning to marry Lu Tingyun?"

Jing Chen: "..."

He didn't speak, so Yan Zhen kicked him: "Stop playing dead. Didn't you come here for me? What are you thinking, going on blind dates and planning to get married?"

Jing Chen's voice unconsciously lowered: "...Lu Tingyun doesn't like men."

Yan Zhen paused, then realized what was going on: "You're planning to have a marriage of convenience with Lu Tingyun?"

"Hmm." Jing Chen glanced at her somewhat nervously, then looked away. "I want to give you a relatively normal family environment..."

He needs to integrate into society and make himself look like most ordinary people, and marriage is undoubtedly the best cover.

He formed a family with Lu Tingyun that appeared to be a powerful combination to outsiders, and then, as the "older brother," he would protect Yan Zhen from all harm for the rest of his life.

"Family" may seem simple, but gentle and reliable family members are the source of love and security for most people.

He hoped that Yan Zhen could live a peaceful and carefree life in the warm and harmonious family he had created.

In this way, even if he is not by her side in the future, even if they can never meet again, this sense of security and ease cultivated from her "family of origin" can accompany her through the tens of thousands of years of her long life.
