spring bite mark

Chapter 131 The incident came to light
Yan Changye said that he was a junior member of the Yan family.

But apart from father and son, what kind of younger generation can share the same face, even with the same face shape and bone structure?
Jiang Manman suddenly found it difficult to breathe and felt a severe suffocation in her chest.

That bastard Yan Changye has been pestering her all these years, spending almost all his time outside of work on her. She's seen him do all sorts of crazy things, but she never imagined he could father a child out of wedlock...

Jiang Manman looked at the child on the bed, unsure how to describe her feelings.

She came back to clear her head.

But she never expected that her return would bring such a huge setback, almost to the point of causing her heart attack.

She closed her eyes slightly, then sat numbly and stiffly on the carpet, her eyes stinging.

Yan Yu slept very soundly during that afternoon nap.

An hour later, he opened his eyes, groggily crawled out of bed, grabbed his phone from the bedside table to check the time, and then slowly got out of bed.

Still half-asleep, he went to the en-suite bathroom in his bedroom and used the toilet as if he knew the way well. When he came out, he heard a soft, familiar voice in his ear:

"Did you sleep well?"

Yan Yu froze!
The weariness in his eyes vanished, and he reflexively looked toward the source of the sound, meeting Jiang Manman's face.

Jiang Manman, who should have been at the banquet, was sitting quietly on the sofa in the bedroom. She seemed a little cold and subconsciously pulled a thin blanket. Her almond-shaped eyes, which were usually gentle and graceful, were now filled with a coldness.

She and Yan Yu exchanged glances.

"Sure enough, even their eyes are the same." She laughed self-deprecatingly.

Yan Yu's fair, bare feet curled up helplessly as she stood awkwardly on the carpet, her eyes slightly lowered, without uttering a word.

Jiang Manman asked again, "Yan Changye, is he your father?"

Yan Yufei's thin lips pressed even tighter, but her hand gripped the hem of her loungewear, trembling slightly.

Jiang Manman glanced at him: "Don't be nervous. I wouldn't hold a child accountable for an adult's problem."

She pointed to the sofa in front of her: "Come here, sit down and wait for Yan Changye with me."

Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over.

He walked very slowly, taking several minutes to climb onto the sofa, where he sat down without uttering a word.

Jiang Manman placed a glass of water in front of him, her voice a little tired: "Did you tidy up the living room and study?"

This time, Yan Yu dared to respond, but he only nodded slightly, looking extremely uneasy.

"You're trying to please me," Jiang Manman said definitively. "Why?"

Her response was silence once again.

Jiang Manman took a deep breath, her eyes showing weariness: "Did Yan Changye teach you this?"

"No." Yan Yu slightly raised his eyelids, his voice barely audible, "It was my own choice."

"Giving a huge reward to Mu Chan Studio, sending me a love-filled drink, and organizing my artwork today..." Jiang Manman asked, "Was all of this voluntary?"

"Yes."

Jiang Manman gave a faint "hmm," picked up her water glass, and drank. Various speculations flashed through her mind, but she stopped talking to Yan Yu. On the island.

Before Yan Changye left, after arguing with Old Master Yan, he chatted briefly about work with the heads of several powerful families who were planning to stay and have afternoon tea with Old Master Yan. Then, his bodyguard called.

"Boss, Madam returned early and has cornered Young Master Yanyu at the villa." The bodyguard cut to the chase. "They should have already met."

Yan Changye: "..."

Is it that awkward?
But then I thought about it again. The matter from back then had already been brought up at the banquet, and I was going to have an open and honest talk with Jiang Manman anyway.

The timing seems perfect.

He made a quick decision: "Guard the door and don't let my wife out. I'm going back now."

After saying that, he abandoned the group of family heads, activated the Voice of Night at high speed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The heads of the major families exchanged glances. The head of the Li family shook his head and chuckled, "Among all the powerful families in the capital, only Yan Changye is completely controlled by his wife."

The head of the Zhu family sighed, "That's right. His wife gave birth to another man's child, and he eagerly went to help her during her postpartum period. Now he's even trying to pin the blame for his wife's affair with Xie Yuheng on him..."

The Chen family patriarch coughed lightly: "Enough with the idle talk, this is nothing serious. But if the gossip gets to the Crown Prince's ears, that person can cause a huge mess even if there's nothing wrong with them. Look at what happened to the Ning family..."

The Li family patriarch was silent for a moment: "The Ning family is also unlucky. If it were anyone else, they would probably be busy helping to cover up this kind of gossip. But their daughter chose to tear it apart directly, dragging the Ning family into it. It is rumored that Yan Changye and this Ning family daughter had a relationship in the past. It is probably true. Otherwise, how could they hate each other to this extent because of love?"

The Wang family patriarch pondered, "I heard that not only the Yan family, but also the Xie family of Hong Kong has made a move. This adopted daughter of the Jiang family is extraordinary; she simultaneously manipulates the heads of two major financial groups in the capital and Hong Kong. Now that she's been bullied even slightly, Yan Changye and Xie Yuheng immediately protect her, as if afraid she'll suffer even a second more injustice..."

The head of the Li family nodded and suggested, "Didn't Yan Changye's beloved wife open a store recently? It would be only right and proper for us to prepare a generous gift to congratulate her."

This sensitive topic has come to a perfect end here.

On the other side, when Yan Changye returned to Residence No. 1, a group of bodyguards stood at attention: "Boss, you're back?"

Yan Changye hummed in agreement and asked as he walked, "What's the situation inside?"

The bodyguard replied, "They were all in the bedroom, neither crying nor making a fuss, and they didn't say a word."

Yan Changye paused his hurried steps.

Based on his experience over the years, he's not afraid of Jiang Manman making a fuss; he's afraid of her not making a fuss.

When a delicate woman argues with him, giving her some gifts and then pestering her in bed will make her calm down overnight. But when she's not arguing, she's completely unresponsive, and he has to expend several times the effort to coax her back.

Yan Changye mentally prepared himself and instructed the bodyguards: "Stand guard at the door and don't let anyone in today."

After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked towards the master bedroom.

With his long legs, he made it upstairs in a few steps. He paused for a couple of seconds at the door of the master bedroom, and then slowly pushed open the bedroom door with his well-defined knuckles.

The first thing you see on the sofa are two figures, one big and one small, his big baby and his little baby.

However, neither Jiang Manman nor Yan Yu looked well.

Neither of them spoke. Yan Yu sat obediently on the sofa with her head down, not drinking a drop of water from the cup in her small hands.

Jiang Manman appeared relaxed, but her pupils were somewhat unfocused, and her lips were slightly pale. The moment Yan Changye appeared at the bedroom door, she casually curled her lips into a mocking smile:
"The scandal broke, but they came back pretty quickly."
