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

Chapter 540 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (19)

But if he hadn't known what he had done, why didn't his wife love him, or even feel such disgust and impatience with him?

Gao Shenghan was completely baffled.

In the evening, Yan Zhen prepared to pick up Gao Xinyu from school.

Having nothing else to do, Gao Shenghan wanted to talk to Yan Zhen more, so he suggested going together.

When the two arrived at school, Gao Xinyu, who had just finished school, was playing soccer with his classmates.

He was having so much fun that he didn't want to go home anytime soon.

Yan Zhen simply sat outside the football field and waited for him.

Gao Shenghan went to buy three bottles of water and came back. He unscrewed the caps and handed one to Yan Zhen, then sat down next to her.

Watching Gao Xinyu sweating profusely on the soccer field, Gao Shenghan remarked with emotion, "Xiaoyu has grown up."

"Hmm," Yan Zhen replied indifferently.

Gao Shenghan said half-jokingly, "Do you think he looks more like me or more like you?"

Yan Zhen didn't even glance at him: "He looks more like me."

“Why do I feel like he looks more like me?” Gao Shenghan said with a smile. “His eyes are so much like mine, and his mouth is too.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen suddenly chuckled cryptically, "It's fine if our facial features are similar, as long as our personalities aren't like yours."

Gao Shenghan sensed the subtle disdain and malice in her words, and the smile on his face faded.

He was silent for a moment, then cut to the chase: "Zhen, did I do something to upset you? I feel like you've been acting a little strange lately."

"Really?" Yan Zhen said casually, "You're overthinking it."

Gao Shenghan: "...Are you angry with me?"

"No."

"Then why are you ignoring me?" Gao Shenghan frowned. "Like now, you never used to talk to me like this."

Yan Zhen retorted, "How did I talk to you before?"

Gao Shenghan: "...In the past, when you talked to me, at least you would look me in the eye."

Yan Zhen shifted his gaze from Gao Xinyu, who was playing soccer, to Gao Shenghan, but only for two seconds before turning back to look at Gao Xinyu: "Don't go looking for trouble."

Gao Shenghan: "..."

He felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton, and simply asked, "Don't you love me anymore?"

Yan Zhen paused for a moment.

When Gao Shenghan saw that she didn't immediately deny the question, but instead fell into thought, he panicked a little: "A-Zhen, what do you mean?"

When Gao Shenghan married Yan Zhen, many people joked that he was "marrying into a wealthy family."

Over the years, Gao Shenghan has lived with his wife and children at his in-laws' house. Although they have lived a good life, he is well aware that his current high-status life is entirely due to Yan Zhen's "love".

If his wife no longer loves him, he will have nothing.

He looked at Yan Zhen nervously, waiting for her answer.

Yan Zhen pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Gao Shenghan seriously and uttered a classic quote.

"If you think so, then I can't help it."

Gao Shenghan: "..."

Over there, Gao Xinyu finished playing soccer and ran excitedly towards his parents: "Mom! Dad!"

Yan Zhen immediately smiled and stood up to greet him: "Finished kicking?"

"Ok!"

The nanny next to him took a towel to wipe Gao Xinyu's sweat, and the mother and son walked towards the parking lot chatting and laughing.

Behind him, Gao Shenghan watched the mother and son's retreating figures, and a sense of crisis welled up from the bottom of his heart.

He looked down at his body and then touched his face.

I seem to have been a bit lax lately; my figure isn't as good as it used to be, and my skin has become much rougher.

Is that why his wife isn't interested in him?

It seems I need to recover my health and resume exercising as soon as possible.

When we got home, Yan's father also came back from the company, and the whole family had a meal together.

After dinner, Gao Shenghan accompanied Gao Xinyu back to the children's room and helped him with his homework.

Gao Xinyu had only finished half of his homework when Gao Shenghan made an excuse to get a charger and went back to his room.

When he entered the room, his wife was taking a bath in the bathroom attached to the master bedroom—she took a bath at this time every day, and Gao Shenghan knew her daily routine very well.

Gao Shenghan quietly entered the bedroom and picked up Yan Zhen's phone from the sofa.

He and his wife had each other's facial recognition data on their phones, so Gao Shenghan easily unlocked Yan Zhen's phone.

Starting with WeChat, Gao Shenghan went through every app on Yan Zhen's phone, even searching through the trash can of deleted photos.

But after going through his phone, he couldn't find anything wrong.

His wife seemed to have stopped loving him "suddenly" and "without warning".

-

Two days later, the weekend arrived.

Yan's mother invited Yan Jing to her home for dinner.

Yan Jing agreed, but she was half an hour late for the agreed time.

Upon entering, Yan Jing repeatedly apologized: "Auntie, there was a traffic jam on the way, I'm late. Chang'an Road is always completely blocked during the evening rush hour."

Yan Zhen was putting preserved plums into cherry tomatoes when he heard the words "Chang'an Road" and asked, "Didn't you come from school?"

Coming from the school, you don't need to go through Chang'an Road.

"No, I came from the company," Yan Jing said with a smile.

When she mentioned the company, Yan Zhen remembered that he had acquired a small media company for her to play with a few days ago.

That day, Yan Zhen made a big show of things at the hotel with Yan Jing. After that, Yan Zhen told Yan's father's assistant and handed over all the follow-up matters to him.

Speaking of the company, Yan Jing leaned close to Yan Zhen and said, "The special assistant has already helped transfer Xiao Yun's contract to Xinyue Media. He was very happy and said he wanted to treat me to dinner, but I could tell he didn't have much money because he couldn't even afford a decent set of designer clothes."

So I told him not to treat me, just to buy me a coffee. This morning he bought coffee and small cakes for all the girls in our group. He's such an honest guy..."

Gao Shenghan, who was helping Gao Xinyu with a puzzle, smiled and asked, "Xiao Jing is in a relationship?"

“No,” Yan Jing said. “My aunt and I rescued this person from the sinkhole when we saw injustice.”

Gao Shenghan paused, then subtly pricked up his ears: "Oh? A-Zhen was involved too?"

"Yes."

Yan Jing recounted in detail the heroic deeds of Yan Zhen who went to the hotel to rescue her that day and also helped Xiao Yun get his unpaid wages.

"Uncle, you have no idea how pitiful Xiao Yun is. His mother has uremia and needs dialysis three times a week. His father is a gambler who steals his mother's medical money to gamble. There are also twin siblings in high school. The burden of supporting the whole family rests on his shoulders. And then he met an agent who wanted him to sleep with gay men..."

Fortunately, he ran into me and my aunt, and we rescued him. His contract was transferred to Xinyue Media, and I've already arranged for him to act in movies and appear on variety shows. With his looks and acting skills, he's sure to become famous.

Gao Shenghan paused for a moment, then asked with a seemingly casual smile, "Is this person very handsome?"
