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

Chapter 670 Dawn (76)

Yan Zhen carried a bamboo shoot in each hand and walked home with Jing Chen.

Along the way, she would glance at the mirror every now and then.

Jing Chen noticed her gaze and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

Yan Zhen carefully considered his words: "Brother, do you want to get married?"

"I can't say whether I want to or not, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to have some contact with a suitable person."

Yan Zhen: "..."

Seeing her sullen face, Jing Chen used one hand to ruffle her head: "What's wrong? Are you worried that your brother will neglect you after getting married and focusing on his own family?"

Yan Zhen countered, "Then can you?"

"No," Jingchen said. "I promised to take care of you and support you for the rest of my life, and I won't break my promise."

"..." Yan Zhen's feelings were complicated.

When I got home, the nanny came to greet me.

Jingchen handed the bamboo shoots to her and asked her to prepare them, then rolled up his sleeves and went to cook dinner.

Jingchen and the nanny spent more than an hour tinkering in the kitchen, and Yanzhen only realized that the dishes were much more plentiful than usual when it was time for dinner.

Yan Zhen came downstairs and rushed to the dining table. He immediately exclaimed "Wow!" and started eating the garlic-fried shrimp while talking: "What day is it today? Why are we suddenly having such a big meal?"

Jing Chen came out of the kitchen: "I knew you forgot, today is your birthday."

Yan Zhen quickly looked at the electronic calendar on the wall; today was indeed her twentieth birthday.

Yan Zhen asked happily, "Brother, what gift did you prepare for me?"

"You'll definitely get a gift, go wash your hands."

When Yan Zhen returned after washing his hands, there was a cake on the table.

Jingchen lit the number candles on the cake and pushed them in front of Yanzhen: "Come on, make a wish."

Yan Zhen immediately clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and loudly proclaimed his wish: "I hope my brother can take a long vacation of one month this winter and go skiing with me!"

She had barely finished speaking when a camera shutter clicked.

Yan Zhen immediately opened her eyes. Jing Chen was holding a Polaroid camera, which he had just taken a picture of her with the cake.

The nanny smiled and said, "Miss, birthday wishes won't come true if you say them out loud."

“It won’t work if I don’t say it out loud.” Yan Zhen glanced at his glasses and said, “The God of Wealth who can grant my wishes is standing right here. How can he grant my wishes if I don’t say it out loud?”

"You're the most cunning one." Jing Chen smiled helplessly, handed the Polaroid camera to the nanny, and walked over to Yan Zhen, asking the nanny to take a photo of him and Yan Zhen together.

The Polaroid camera ejected the photographic paper and slowly developed it. Jingchen selected a solo photo of Yan Zhen and replaced the birthday photo taken last year in her wallet.

The replaced photo of Yan Zhen on his 19th birthday was magnetically attached to the refrigerator door.

After the meal, Jingchen handed Yanzhen a thick pink kraft paper document bag with a flashy matching bow tied on it.

"This year's birthday present."

Yan Zhen took it and weighed it in his hand before opening it; it was heavy, weighing more than two pounds.

"Property certificate?" Yan Zhen guessed. "You bought another house?"

Over the past few years, Jingchen has bought more than a dozen houses, all of which are registered in her name.

Jing Chen shook his head, but smiled without saying a word.

Yan Zhen opened it, and inside was a large stack of red, blue, and green property certificates. She carefully examined them for a while before suddenly looking up.

"Hot spring resort?"

Jingchen gifted her a hot spring resort located in the north of Haicheng, covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 acres, for her twentieth birthday.

“Hmm,” Jingchen said. “I took it over last year and hired a professional team to manage it. The monthly turnover is quite considerable. From now on, you can sit back and wait for dividends every quarter.”

Yan Zhen was deeply moved. She moved over and hugged Jing Chen's arm, saying sweetly, "Brother, you're so kind. I'll wait for your birthday too..."

Yan Zhen stopped midway through his sentence.

Everything she has now was given to her by Jing Chen; Jing Chen lacks nothing.

"What do you want? I'll buy it for you!" Yan Zhen said shamelessly. "As long as you don't want to buy the Forbidden City, I can buy you anything else."

Jing Chen flicked her forehead: "Just try not to upset me anymore."

Yan Zhen: "..."

Soon, Jing Chen went back to his study to handle official business, while Yan Zhen held his phone and shared his newly acquired assets with Zhou Panpan.

The two chatted on WeChat video, agreeing to visit the hot spring resort on the weekend.

After chatting for a while, Yan Zhen hung up the video call and saw Jing Chen's profile picture pop up in the WeChat Moments entrance—he had posted on Moments.

Yan Zhen clicked in and saw that Jing Chen's post on her WeChat Moments was a Polaroid photo taken with her phone, showing her making a wish on a cake.

Photo caption: 20 years old.

Yan Zhen clicked into Jing Chen's Moments following this post. He posted one or two updates a month, and all of them were related to her.

Sometimes it's a bizarre dish she made for him on a whim, sometimes it's a video of her riding horses at the stables, sometimes it's her award certificates and trophies, and sometimes it's her daily life playing with cats and dogs outside.

Jingchen recorded many small details of her growth from a parent's perspective.

Over the weekend, Yan Zhen and Zhou Panpan went to a hot spring resort together.

It was presented as an inspection of the property owned by the owner, but in reality, the two were there to have fun.

The manor caters to a high-end clientele, offering a full range of dining, entertainment, and business accommodations. Yan Zhen and Zhou Panpan had such a great time that they didn't want to leave until Sunday evening when they finally returned to the city.

When I got home, only the nanny was there.

Yan Zhen put down her bag and asked, "Auntie, did my brother go to work overtime?"

The nanny came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "No, the master went out on a date."

Yan Zhen was taken aback, and his voice unconsciously rose: "A date?"

"Yes, the old lady from the Ye family introduced him to someone. He has an appointment to meet her for dinner today. This morning, she told him not to cook dinner for her... Miss, are you hungry? Dinner will be served in ten minutes."

Yan Zhen had no time to reply to the nanny, and immediately took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Jing Chen.

"Where?"

Jing Chen replied instantly: "I'm having dinner outside with the blind date that Grandma Ye introduced me to. Are you home?"

Where to go on a blind date?

"XX Restaurant".

After sending that message, Jing Chen quickly sent another one: "I'll bring you some desserts when I get back."

Yan Zhen was too preoccupied to eat any desserts; she felt a surge of anger rising within her, and her whole body turned red.

After getting the specific address, Yan Zhen quickly grabbed her car keys and rushed out the door, not even bothering to answer the nanny who chased after her and asked where she was going.

The restaurant was thirty minutes from home. On the way there, Yan Zhen's rising anger slowly cooled down as the night wind blew in through the car window.

Although she didn't know why Jingchen was going on a blind date, if she just rushed over and appeared in front of him and his blind date, at best it would embarrass Jingchen, and at worst it would cause the woman to be dissatisfied.

She can't be so impulsive and willful.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen slowed down the car and drove towards the restaurant while pondering how to stop Jing Chen from going on a blind date.

Her goal was clear: Jingchen could not marry anyone else.

But in what capacity should she try to stop it?

She has been in this world for thirteen years, and Jing Chen is unaware that she carries memories with her.
