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

Chapter 179 Canglan Ferry (49)

Mirror sinking?

Only he had this privilege, the ability to bypass himself and put Seven into the mandatory confidentiality system.

Only he had the motive to relentlessly pursue me here to teach me a lesson and avenge his previous humiliation.

Upon thinking of this, Yan Zhen immediately felt a headache coming on.

What is the most frightening thing in the workplace?

A stupid client, petty colleagues, and a petty, vindictive boss.

Yan Zhen is currently not only stuck with such a boss, but has also offended him without even realizing it.

Her mind was racing, trying to figure out how to solve this problem.

After much thought, there are only two possible solutions.

Either quit directly and don't put up with the boss, or take the initiative to admit your mistake and accept the punishment, let the boss vent his anger, and move on from this matter.

Resigning is out of the question; I don't know where I could go if I left Si Yanzhen in the Quick Transmigration game.

But admitting his mistake and accepting punishment... Yan Zhen's temples throbbed whenever he thought of Jing Chen's face.

She asked Xiaoqi, "Can I just take a knife to him and let him kill me to vent his anger?"

Xiao Qi said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Stabbing you to death is no different from fining you. If he were so easily appeased, he wouldn't have used his identity as the victim to chase you here for revenge."

Yan Zhen thought about it and agreed: "Then what should we do?"

This was the first time she had encountered such a difficult situation.

Xiao Qi pondered for a while and said, "How about this, I'll go and find out what the Lord God wants so that he won't hold it against me anymore."

Yan Zhen asked, "Where are you going to ask?"

"The Lord God is using Lord Zhou Yanqing's identity and his system. I've played cards with his system a few times, so we're fairly familiar with each other. I should be able to get some information out of him."

It can only be this way.

Xiao Qi logged off and returned to the Quick Transmigration Division. Yan Zhen sat down in the pharmacy, resting his chin on his hand, and began to ponder how Jing Chen wanted to take revenge on him.

I can't treat you as a friend, I like you.

Just because you don't like it now doesn't mean you won't like it in the future. Why not give it a try with me?

—If you're interested in my body, give it a try with me. If we succeed, it's a win-win situation; if we fail, you won't lose anything.

Combining these words with what had happened in the previous two worlds and the events that had occurred in Jingchen's consciousness, an incredible thought arose in Yan Zhen's mind.

Could it be that Jing Chen has fallen in love with me?

The thought sent a shiver down her spine, and goosebumps instantly covered her arms.

Please, please don't!!!

She's not crazy to develop a personal relationship with her boss that goes beyond work.

Xiao Qi returned while Yan Zhen was brainstorming.

Knowing full well that there were confidentiality measures in place for communication between a person and a bird within the system, Xiao Qi, for some reason, still lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Master, I've found out!"

Influenced by its tone, Yan Zhen also lowered his voice: "Speak."

"Lord Zhou's system says that the Supreme God is very upset and angry because you have used him twice, and wants to take revenge on you in the same way."

When Yan Zhen recalled Xiahou Che's death and Zhou Rang's cause of death, his first thought was that Jing Chen wanted him dead: "Tell me, does he want to stab me to death himself, or does he want me to commit suicide?"

Xiao Qi said urgently, "No, no, he intends to attack people's minds."

Yan Zhen was stunned: "What?"

"He wants you to fall in love with him, and then dump you."

Yan Zhen remained silent.

No wonder Jing Chen needed to enter this world as a substitute for the dead, and no wonder he didn't reveal his true identity to her immediately after completing his mission as a substitute.

So he wanted to use Pei Ji's identity as a cover to make her fall in love with him, and then use her own methods against her.

After understanding his intentions, Yan Zhen was both amused and exasperated: "Is he really over three hundred years old?"

That's so childish.

Xiao Qi said, "To be precise, he was only twenty-one years old when he fell into a deep sleep."

Yan Zhen immediately understood.

No wonder!

At 21, many people haven't even gotten over their teenage angst yet.

Forget it, she won't argue with a younger brother whose mind hasn't even fully developed.

Yan Zhen pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a solution.

Jing Chen is currently unaware that she has discovered his true identity. Perhaps she should play along and act out a scene where she falls in love with him and gets dumped, just so he can vent his anger.

Yan Zhen is an expert at acting, especially in emotional and tragic roles.

Whenever the mission requires it, she can act with deep affection towards a telephone pole, loving it for eternity and remaining steadfast in her devotion.

Yan Zhen slept in the pharmacy for the night and returned to his room the next morning.

When she went in, Jingchen was not there; only two maids were making the bed.

Yan Zhen asked, "Where is the Crown Prince?"

He was so badly injured yesterday, surely he wouldn't still go to work, would he?

The maidservant replied respectfully, "The young master went out early this morning, and this servant does not know where he went."

Yan Zhen did not investigate his whereabouts further.

After having breakfast, she asked someone to bring a chair to the courtyard to enjoy the breeze. Just then, Jingchen returned.

Two servants followed behind him, carrying a large box together. Jing Chen exchanged a glance with Yan Zhen, who was in the courtyard, and then paused in his steps.

He waved for the servant to carry the things to the study first, while he walked up to Yan Zhen.

But he clearly hadn't decided what to say yet, and after hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I've already used it," Yan Zhen asked. "Where have you been so early in the morning?"

Jing Chen was silent for a moment, not answering her question directly: "Nothing—have you thought it through?"

Yan Zhen feigned ignorance: "What have you decided?"

“Stay,” Jing Chen said. “The succession ceremony is in seven days. If you stay, you will be the Duchess.”

Yan Zhen pretended to be thinking seriously and asked, "What will you do if I don't agree?"

"Then we'll keep you locked up until you agree."

Yan Zhen's lips twitched.

Good grief, they're even playing the imprisonment game here.

"alright."

She agreed so quickly that Jing Chen was taken aback: "You agreed?"

"Correct."

"Why?" He thought she would resist to the point of trying every means to escape, and then he would have to go through the trouble of catching her again, only for her to escape again, and he would have to catch her again...

That's how romance novels are written. He was even prepared for a protracted war, to spend decades with her in this world.

Her quick agreement has caught him off guard.

"You only gave me two options: to agree willingly or to agree under duress. They lead to the same result. Did I even have a choice?" Yan Zhen slowly waved his fan, looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. "Anyway, the final answer is the same. Why should I bother to resist?"

Jing Chen subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

But then he thought about it again, and realized that this was exactly the kind of person Yan Zhen was.

Xiaoqi's assessment of her is "lazy." She will never stand if she can sit, and she will never sit if she can lie down. She will never take a roundabout way if she can get straight to the point. Her way of solving problems is efficient and ruthless.

Jing Chen spent a few minutes convincing herself that "that's just who she is," and quickly accepted this premise.

"Then get ready, I want to marry you."
