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

Chapter 562 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (41)

However, none of these reasons can explain why my aunt, who should have been in Hangzhou, was in Province X, thousands of miles away.

Moreover, after arriving in X province, she didn't contact her blood relative, but instead secretly went out to eat with Xiao Yun.

Considering the "friend" Xiao Yun mentioned this morning, could it be that he and his aunt...

Compared to Yan Jing's strange expression, Xiao Yun's expression was also very tense.

He kept glancing at Yan Zhen, seemingly struggling with how to conceal the past.

Just as Xiao Yun was about to speak, Yan Zhen interrupted him.

"Yes, that's exactly what you think."

Yan Zhen looked at Yan Jing, whose thoughts were practically written all over her face, grabbed Xiao Yun's hand and waved it in front of her, "Is there a problem?"

Yan Jing: "..."

The two actresses from the same drama behind her covered their mouths in surprise.

“Auntie…” Yan Jing gritted her teeth, pulled her aside to talk, “As far as I know, you and Uncle are still married, right?”

"uh-huh."

"So this means you're...cheating?"

"Is that strange?" Yan Zhen asked in return.

Her confidence caught Yan Jing off guard, and after a long pause, she stammered, "I never expected you to be with Xiao Yun."

Xiao Yun, who seems so upright and reserved, would actually do something like clinging to a rich woman and trying to curry favor with her.

Yan Jing felt that she would never be able to look him in the eye again.

Yan Zhen glanced at Xiao Yun not far away and said to Yan Jing, "Don't be prejudiced against him."

Yan Jing: "..."

Yan Jing left quickly, and Yan Zhen and Xiao Yun also got into the car and went back to the hotel.

Xiao Yun remained silent throughout the journey.

As they approached the hotel, Yan Zhen noticed that Xiao Yun's unease was practically written all over his face. Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort, Xiao Yun spoke first.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to run into Yan Jing."

Yan Zhen paused, puzzled, and asked, "Why apologize? What does this have to do with you?"

“It was I who suggested going to that restaurant… If I hadn’t wanted to go to that restaurant, I wouldn’t have run into Yan Jing, and I wouldn’t have ruined your image in the eyes of the younger generation…” Xiao Yun’s voice grew softer and softer.

Yan Zhen was both amused and exasperated: "So you were so nervous the whole way because you were worried I'd mind?"

Xiao Yun nodded uneasily.

“If I cared about my image, I wouldn’t have done something like this,” Yan Zhen said. “But you, shouldn’t you be more worried about them telling people and it affecting your reputation on set?”

Xiao Yun's expression gradually relaxed: "Yan Jing won't tell anyone."

"So sure?"

“You are her aunt. Even if it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have revealed this matter for your sake.”

"What about the other two actresses?"

"Yan Jing is very selective; anyone who becomes her friend is of good character and personality." Xiao Yun rarely joked. "Yan Jing also tells them not to tell anyone."

Seeing how confident he was, Yan Zhen teased him, "What if they accidentally let it slip and the whole crew finds out you're being kept? What are you going to do then?"

Xiao Yun thought about it seriously for a while and said, "Then I will blur the key points and not let them know who is supporting me."

"Why? Am I really that unpresentable?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "If this becomes public knowledge, it will have a negative impact on both you and the Yan family."

It's nothing to be proud of, there's no need to publicize it everywhere.

Yan Zhen found Xiao Yun's realization both unexpected and reasonable.

"You are simply the chosen one, the perfect sugar daddy."

Good-looking, considerate, sensible, and troublesome, Xiao Yun, if it weren't for Jing Chen, Yan Zhen might have developed a deep and immersive relationship with him in this world.

Unfortunately, he was Jing Chen.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen sighed with some regret.

Back at the hotel, Yan Zhen began to deal with work matters.

Xiao Yunze was helping Yan Zhen clean the shoes that had gotten dirty on his way to the factory that day.

The two were busy with their own things when there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Yun got up to open the door, and Yan Jing was standing outside.

When Yan Jing saw Xiao Yun, she immediately glared at him and didn't forget to look back to see if anyone was secretly following her before cautiously slipping into the room.

"Is this your room? Why did you run to open the door like that?" Yan Jing said in a low voice. "What if it was someone else knocking on the door? Wouldn't that expose your relationship with my aunt?"

Xiao Yun was quite frank: "No one but you will come knocking on the door."

He had already guessed that the person knocking on the door was Yan Jing.

Yan Jing: "..."

She ignored Xiao Yun and strode into the living room, calling out, "Auntie."

Yan Zhen was busy with his work. He glanced up at Yan Jing, then immediately looked back at the computer screen: "Speak."

Yan Jing looked at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun wisely said, "I'm in my room. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he turned around and went into the room, closing the door behind him.

"..." Yan Jing sat down next to Yan Zhen, hesitated for a moment before saying, "What if your uncle finds out about you and Xiao Yun?"

Xiao Yun was just an ordinary person.

Although my uncle was just an ordinary person before, after being married to my aunt for so many years, he started a company and has now become a successful businessman.

If he knew that Xiao Yun was seducing his wife and was determined to get rid of him, Xiao Yun wouldn't be able to withstand it at all.

As Xiao Yun's friend, Yan Jing thought it over and decided to persuade her aunt and Xiao Yun to end their unhealthy relationship as soon as possible.

"He already knows."

Yan Jing gasped, "Uncle knows? Does he agree to it?"

What can you do if you disagree?

"Aren't you afraid he'll cause trouble? Like telling your parents about this..."

"My parents know too."

Yan Jing: "..."

No way, you're so blatant about cheating on your spouse?

The whole family found out.

Yan Jing, seemingly lost in thought, suddenly asked seriously, "Auntie, are you planning to divorce Uncle and marry Xiao Yun?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen put down what he was doing and asked, "Why do you have such thoughts?"

"You're being so high-profile even though you don't plan to marry him?"

"I just felt there was no need to deliberately hide it."

Yan Jing couldn't understand her thought process and was speechless for a long time before saying, "I didn't expect you to be with Xiao Yun."

Yan Zhen chuckled and asked, "Why?"

"You two seem like the kind of people who would never cross paths," Yan Jing said incredulously. "Auntie, what do you see in him?"

Yan Zhen countered, "Is he that bad?"

“…He’s not bad.” Yan Jing said tactfully, “I would be happy to be friends with him, but I wouldn’t consider him as a boyfriend. He’s too soft-hearted. When people on set make really bad jokes about him, he doesn’t dare to say a word. He’ll endure whatever comes his way, and if he can’t, he’ll find another way to endure it. Besides, his family is too… In short, I think the happiness of dating him would be very low.”
