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

Chapter 206 Killing the Cuckoo (21)

With an inquisitive mindset, Yan Zhen browsed through those posts and reports, and with the help of a search engine, she gained a preliminary understanding of this man named Qi Zhaoyi.

This person is a student from Ningbo University who is two years ahead of Li Tingyi. He was a good-looking and talented academic genius in school. He studied journalism, but became a documentary director after graduation.

Over the years, his team has been highly productive, producing several well-received humanistic documentaries, each with a rating of over 9 points.

Because of its bold yet delicate filming style and insightful and incisive scripts, the name "Qi Zhaoyi" has become a golden brand for humanistic documentaries.

In his professional field, Qi Zhaoyi is undoubtedly a top figure, but he is very low-key. The photos that can be found online are mostly candid shots taken by "passersby" and photos of him at public events during his university years.

After graduation, he rarely appeared in public. When he was occasionally photographed carrying a camera to take pictures, he always wore a hat and mask tightly. Even when his works won awards, he sent a representative from his studio to accept the awards.

Yan Zhen cleared his phone's browsing history and started making plans.

Fang Yi and Li Tingyi have a foundation of affection, so their arguments are just like playing house, and they can make up in a few days.

Moreover, Li Tingyi is so smart and perceptive that, given his suspicions, he might find a flaw and launch a surprise attack at any time.

Instead of personally creating endless misunderstandings for them, it's better to find this person who seems to be the ex-boyfriend and give them a good beating.

Given Li Tingyi and Fang Yihe's avoidance of mentioning Qi Zhaoyi, Yan Zhen had a premonition that there was a lot of inside information about Qi Zhaoyi.

Having made up his mind, Yan Zhen paid a private investigator to investigate Qi Zhaoyi's personal information, the more detailed the better.

When Fang Yi returned to the Fang family home, it was already evening.

As soon as he entered the door, Fang Ma noticed the injury on his face. Without disturbing Yan Zhen, she quickly pulled him to the backyard and whispered, "Where have you been?"

Fang Yihe knew her mother was a shrewd person; if he disappeared without a word for more than ten hours, she would definitely be able to guess where he went.

"I'm going to find Li Tingyi."

"You..." Fang's mother's temper flared up instantly, but considering that it was the first day of the Lunar New Year and her daughter-in-law was still in the kitchen, she took a few deep breaths to suppress her temper. "What happened to the injury on your face?"

"I accidentally brushed against it," Fang Yi said, downplaying the seriousness of the situation. "Mom, I'll go take care of the wound first..."

He turned to leave, but Fang's mother grabbed him and turned the side of his face that she had been deliberately avoiding since he entered the room. When she saw a clear handprint on his cheek, she was both angry and amused.

"How careless you have to be to get a slap mark on your face."

Hearing her mother's sarcastic tone, Fang Yi felt helpless but couldn't refute her.

"He did it?" Fang's mother pressed.

Fang Yi paused for a moment, then said, "I was the one who struck first."

Fang's mother slapped him on the back of the head: "Do you think you can excuse him by saying that? What normal person would fight all the time?"

Fang Yihe, who stumbled after being slapped, was speechless.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop seeing him? What do I have to say before you listen to me?"

When Fang's mother got really angry, her voice softened, and she said earnestly, "If you want to go out and have fun, can't you find someone normal? I wouldn't say I'm good at judging people, but this Li Tingyi is definitely not a good guy."

You've messed with him. If you don't stay with him in the future, this kind of person might impulsively take you down with him! Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your dad and me. Do you know how heartbroken your dad and I are to see you beaten like this?"

Fang Yi was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Mom, I'm sorry."

This statement is both an apology and a rejection.

Fang's mother stared at him for a long time, then turned around and went back to the living room with a disappointed look on her face.

What's the difference between a son and someone whose mind is bewitched by a fox spirit?

The problem still lies with Li Tingyi.

With Fang's mother covering for him, Yan Zhen naturally believed that Fang Yihe's injury was caused by a conflict with his son while dealing with that relative's matter, and that he was "accidentally" hit.

She took the first-aid kit and carefully treated Fang Yi's wounds, applying the medicine with extreme gentleness, afraid of hurting him.

Looking at her face full of heartache and worry, Fang Yihe felt a mix of emotions.

He recalled the box of condoms that was opened but two were missing—it seemed too much of a coincidence.

Fang Yi, wanting to test her, asked in a low voice, "Xiao Li, didn't you buy a box of condoms at the supermarket before? Where did you put it?"

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Yan Zhen, not missing a single change in her expression.

Yan Zhen immediately realized Fang Yihe's intention.

She pretended to be taken aback at first, then lowered her head shyly, continuing to apply the medicine to him with her hands, and said in a low voice: "We're at Mom and Dad's house, why are you asking this... We'll talk about it when we get home."

Fang Yihe: "..."

Seeing that his wife mistakenly thought he had other intentions, he explained, "That's not what I meant. I saw a box of the same kind in the gap of the passenger seat in our car, but it was opened... Is it the box you bought?"

Yan Zhen feigned confusion: "In our car?"

Then she suddenly realized, "No wonder I couldn't find it when I got home that day. I must have accidentally left it there. I had opened it."

"We haven't even used it yet, why has it been opened?" Fang Yihe asked.

Yan Zhen bit her lower lip, her ears turning slightly red: "I've been pregnant and recuperating for over a year now. I'm sorry you had to hold back for so long. I read online that changing the environment can stimulate a man's libido and make the experience better..."

I was planning to surprise you in the car that day, so I unpacked the things beforehand, but I didn't end up using them. I guess I was too nervous and left them in the car... I hope I didn't cause you any trouble?"

Fang Yihe: "...No."

He watched his wife's expression change from shyness to worry, and his feelings became increasingly complicated.

It's he who thinks too much.

She simply wanted to please him, not what he thought, that she deliberately left such a thing in the car to cause a misunderstanding between him and Li Tingyi.

Emotionally, he couldn't fall for his wife; sexual orientation is something he couldn't control.

However, emotionally, compared to Li Tingyi's unreasonable behavior and violence, he was quite pleased with his wife's gentleness and consideration at this moment.

If only Li Tingyi could be as gentle as Gao Li, with his heart and eyes only for him—that thought arose in Fang Yi's mind.

But he quickly forced himself to dismiss the thought. Wasn't it Li Tingyi's indomitable stubbornness and wildness that he fell in love with in the first place?

He cannot be the kind of person who enjoys the best side of others and then turns around and blames them for being too rigid and easily broken.
