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

Chapter 353 The Bride of the Sea God (12)

Yan Zhen stood at the bathroom door, watching this scene with a helpless expression.

After mopping the floor, Wang Ma passed by the bathroom and saw the mess it was in. Her face darkened.

Because Yan Zhen was present, she couldn't get angry, so she could only mutter under her breath while tidying up the bathroom.

Nolan keenly sensed her dissatisfaction, and while Wang Ma had her back to it, it grabbed a half-melted bath sponge and threw it at her back.

Wang Ma: "..."

After changing the water, Yan Zhen moved Nolan back into the fish tank.

The next morning, when Yan Zhen got up, he found something that looked like excrement at the bottom of the fish tank again.

Nolan clung listlessly to the top of the fish tank, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Are you sick?" Yan Zhen moved it out and asked the research institute staff to come and change the water, and also asked the researcher to come and examine Nolan.

The researchers spent an hour giving Nolan a full-body checkup: "He's not sick, he's perfectly healthy."

"How could it defecate in the fish tank for two days in a row?"

The researcher was also puzzled and said, "I'll take the excrement back for testing."

"it is good."

After the researcher left, Nolan curled up listlessly in the bathtub. Yan Zhen saw this, opened a sea urchin and fed it to him to calm him down.

After eating seven or eight sea urchins, Nolan visibly relaxed.

He leaned lazily against the bathtub wall like a human, with his hands resting on the edge of the tub, his long tail fin swaying in the water, looking just like a contented old man.

Not long after, footsteps came from outside the bathroom. Nolan immediately hunched over slightly, and his eyes turned into vertical pupils in a blink.

The vertical pupils were an attack signal from the mermaid. Yan Zhen quickly pressed down on its shoulder and turned his head to see Wang Ma passing by the bathroom door with a mop.

Seeing that Wang Ma hadn't gone into the bathroom, but had only passed by and quickly disappeared, Nolan finally relaxed again.

Yan Zhen took in its reaction and his expression became thoughtful.

After changing the water in the fish tank, Yan Zhen went out and bought a surveillance camera.

While Wang Ma went out to buy groceries, she installed the surveillance camera in a corner, using a potted plant as a cover.

On the morning of the third day, unsurprisingly, "excrement" reappeared at the bottom of the fish tank.

Wang Ma was clearly unhappy about Nolan repeatedly defecating in the fish tank. While mopping the floor, she advised Yan Zhen, "This fish is too dirty. It poops in the fish tank every day. Changing the water is time-consuming and laborious, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan. Who can afford to keep raising it like this? You should send it back to the research institute."

Yan Zhen just smiled. While the research institute staff came to change the water, she stayed with Nolan in the bathroom and watched the surveillance footage on her phone.

Upon seeing this, her expression turned serious.

Surveillance footage shows that at 2 a.m. last night, Wang Ma secretly got up and threw an unidentified object into the fish tank.

In addition, during the day when Yan Zhen was in the study, Wang Ma would occasionally disturb Nolan, who was sleeping.

Specifically, this manifests as knocking on the tank wall without warning when passing by, startling Nolan awake while he's sleeping, or hitting Nolan with a mop handle when he sees him floating on the surface.

When Nolan gets annoyed, he retaliates by deliberately slamming the fish tank, splashing water everywhere.

Yan Zhen was watching the surveillance footage intently when suddenly something cool grabbed his wrist.

She turned her head and saw Nolan sitting in the bathtub.

It cautiously approached her, clearly having also seen the surveillance footage. At that moment, it grabbed her wrist with one hand and looked at her with a pitiful expression.

“That person… is bad!” it stammered, “He hit me, and he was very fierce.”

Yan Zhen frowned, stroking its head absently.

Wang Ma and Nolan have already become enemies; she can't be allowed to stay here any longer.

On the one hand, if Wang Ma continues to secretly beat Nolan behind her back, it will be detrimental to her ability to build a trusting relationship with Nolan.

On the other hand, Nolan is an S-class mermaid with extremely high combat power. Even professional mermaid hunters are no match for her, let alone Wang Ma.

If Wang Ma continues to stay here, Nolan will kill her sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen immediately made a decision. She called out to the outside, "Wang Ma!"

Aunt Wang quickly appeared at the bathroom door: "Xiaxia, what's wrong?"

Yan Zhen didn't beat around the bush and showed her the surveillance footage.

“Since you don’t get along with Nolan, you should go back to the Si family’s old residence and work there. We don’t need you here anymore.”

Wang Ma was stunned.

She never imagined that the young lady she had watched grow up would drive her away because of a mermaid.

“Miss, I don’t like this fish, but I have no ulterior motives. I’m doing this for your safety. This thing is too dangerous. If you keep it, something bad will happen to you sooner or later…” Wang Ma said earnestly.

Yan Zhen knew perfectly well that Wang Ma was doing it for his own good.

But she can't send Nolan away now, so she can only make do with Wang Ma.

“I know I’m not angry with you,” Yan Zhen said seriously. “You and Nolan have a conflict and can’t get along peacefully under the same roof, so I have no choice but to let you go back to the old house.”

Wang Ma: "..."

She packed her bags while crying and complaining, "Our years of friendship are worth less than a fish," and then she left.

As soon as Nolan saw that Wang Ma had been sent away, it immediately became smug, its eyes and brows radiating the triumph of a victor.

After Wang Ma left, Yan Zhen didn't ask the old house to send a new nanny. Instead, he hired a part-time worker who came every day to clean and cook.

After this incident, Yan Zhen clearly felt that Nolan was more relaxed when facing her.

Sometimes she would deliberately scratch its tail fin and tease it until it got impatient, but it would just flick its tail and splash water on her face without showing any anger.

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Nolan has been in this family for a month.

As Shengjing, a coastal city, entered typhoon season, it rained heavily for several days in a row. Since the swimming pool at home is outdoors, we couldn't go out for fresh air, and Nolan, who was staying in the fish tank, visibly became listless.

This lethargy showed signs of worsening with the continued bad weather—a potential pitfall for Nolan, who was listless all day.

Yan Zhen opened the sea urchin that it loved to eat, but it only took two bites before listlessly diving back to the bottom of the tank.

Yan Zhen was worried that it was sick and planned to have someone from the research institute come and take a look at it tomorrow.

At night, Yan Zhen turned off the lights and went to sleep as usual.

In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the sound of Nolan splashing water with his fish tail in the living room.

Mermaids are nocturnal creatures, and nighttime is when they are most active. Nolan has also filmed a lot of water play at night.

But tonight it splashed in the water for an unusually long time, waking Yan Zhen up two or three times. He called out to it through the door, "Nolan, be quiet."

The splashing stopped immediately.

But less than two minutes later, it rang again.

Yan Zhen reluctantly got up, put on a coat, and walked out of the living room.

She turned on the light, ready to warn Nolan to behave himself or she would take away his sea urchin and snacks for tomorrow.

But when the living room lights came on and Yan Zhen saw the empty fish tank, he was taken aback.

Nolan is gone!
