Chapter 170 I change
"I don't need your explanation," Jiang Manman said calmly.

Xie Yunxi clicked his tongue: "That won't do. There still needs to be an explanation. Madam, my body has only been played with by you all these years. My innocence cannot be lost because of this ambiguous photo."

Hearing him start spouting nonsense, Jiang Manman interrupted, "With your status, many people covet you. They've certainly tried to seduce you with women more than once or twice. It's just a matter of the interests of various powerful families. If they sent women a hundred or eighty times, it's understandable that you might occasionally succumb to temptation and accept them once or twice."

Xie Yunxi felt inexplicably wronged, and his voice lowered slightly: "Madam, you're mistaken. It's not just a hundred or eighty times. Starting from when we got married, in these six years, there have been one or two hundred times every year, with wealthy families openly sending me people..."

Jiang Manman said with a slight sneer, "...I didn't say enough. President Xie is truly irresistibly charming."

Xie Yunxi pretended not to notice Jiang Manman's sarcasm and righteously tried to save face for himself:

"But I generally don't accept them. If I do accept one or two times, it's never to satisfy my own desires. It's purely because I'm annoyed, and I want to make an example of them to shut them up."

He said this with a resentful tone, "Which bastard took such ambiguous photos? I didn't do anything, and that woman whose face I can't even remember performed a two-hour acrobatic act of balancing boiling water on her head..."

Jiang Manman paused for a moment: "Boring."

"It's boring, but at least it'll give me a month of peace and quiet." Xie Yunxi kissed her, blocking her way of bringing up the past. "You see, last time the eldest young master of the Zhu family invited three female mahjong partners for me. After I went to meet them, half a year has passed, and none of those cronies have dared to cause me any trouble in that regard. It's clear that it's effective."

Jiang Manman recalled the incident of that scoundrel meeting three women at the hotel, and her feelings were complicated; she didn't know how to comment.

“Madam, we can be considered childhood sweethearts, and after all these years together, you know best what kind of person I am,” Xie Yunxi continued. “How could just any Tom, Dick, or Harry lay a finger on me? You might not feel uncomfortable, but I certainly do!”

After saying that, he affectionately pulled Jiang Manman closer to him and said, "Don't be angry anymore?"

“I’m not angry about the scandal itself,” Jiang Manman sighed. “You clearly had other options, but you insisted on being alone with a woman. Don’t you think that shows a lack of boundaries?”

"No sense of boundaries?" Xie Yunxi raised an eyebrow. "We were just in the same room, and we didn't do anything out of line..."

Jiang Manman looked at him quietly for a while: "But, I'll overthink things and feel uncomfortable."

Xie Yunxi's eloquent voice suddenly disappeared.

He didn't answer immediately, but looked at his wife meaningfully, his eyes unreadable: "Wife, are you jealous?"

Jiang Manman nodded: "Yes."

"Making your wife jealous is a huge deal..." Xie Yunxi couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. "I'll change."

The scoundrel who was making excuses for himself just a moment ago has decisively abandoned his principles simply because she said she was jealous.

Jiang Manman's originally gloomy mood suddenly turned warm.

"Madam, please wait a moment."

Xie Yunxi released Jiang Manman, picked up his phone, and edited for a while.

Two minutes later, another new post appeared on his WeChat Moments:
Y: [Madam's new household rule: No one may be in the same room with another woman] [Image.jpg]

The accompanying photo, taken at an unknown time, shows two hands clasped together, with two wedding rings gleaming on their ring fingers.

In just two minutes, it gained more than a dozen likes and top comments:
Li Longyu, head of the Li family: [The Crown Prince is completely under the control of the Madam! She's truly a remarkable woman.]

Chen family patriarch Chen Mohan: [The Crown Prince and his wife are so loving, I'm so envious!] Chen Jinzhou: [Holy crap, what did I just see? A pure love war god!]

Third Uncle of the Yan Family: [Good at keeping oneself pure and upright]

……

Jiang Manman looked at the newly posted Moments on her WeChat Moments, her face slightly flushed: "You post something like this on Moments?"

Xie Yunxi replied matter-of-factly: "A reminder to those who give women away so easily: be more sensible in the future."

Jiang Manman: "..."

She looked at Xie Yunxi, who was still as carefree and dissolute as ever. He was a bit of a scoundrel, but when he was in a good mood, he was truly wonderful.

Before they knew it, it was time for Yan Yu and Xie Jian's birthday banquet.

The formal attire had already been prepared. The classmates from the two kindergarten classes had long since gone their separate ways, but thanks to the Xie family's immense influence, more than a hundred kindergarten classmates and their parents were all present.

Some women, unaware of the situation, complained to their husbands on the way: "It's just a small birthday party, and we've all graduated and gone our separate ways. Is it really worth ending our world tour and rushing back?"

"What do you know!" the man scolded in a low voice. "The number one conglomerate in Hong Kong. With our status, we wouldn't even be qualified to try and build a relationship with them normally. Now, they've sent an invitation to their grandson's birthday banquet. This is a good thing that we couldn't ask for."

The woman's expression changed, and she stammered, "The number one conglomerate in the port city?"

"That's right, didn't you see that our arch-rivals even abandoned several important projects and came here with their kids..."

The woman took a deep breath, her attitude immediately changing: "Then we'd better make a good impression on the Xie family conglomerate! Have you prepared a birthday gift? Is it valuable enough?"

……

At 10 a.m., more than 100 children put on the dresses designed by Muchen Studio according to their own size. Yan Yu and Xie Jian were surrounded by a group of children as they made their way out. The huge birthday banquet venue was immediately filled with thunderous applause and endless blessings!

Jiang Manman stood with Xie Yunxi, watching the two children walk towards her along the flower-lined corridor, wearing the dresses she had designed before. She couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

Compared to her complex emotions as a mother, everyone else's attention was mainly focused on the appearance of the two children.

There aren't many people who have actually seen Yan Yu and Xie Jian, especially Yan Yu. Even now, many people still think of him as one of Xie Jian's classmates. However, his suit, which is exactly the same as Xie Jian's, has aroused a lot of suspicion. And when you see his face, the suspicion turns into shock!

That face, so strikingly similar to Xie Yunxi, the CEO of the Xie Conglomerate, is so handsome that no one would believe they weren't related!

In contrast, Xie Jian, another grandson of the Xie family, doesn't resemble his father as much! Those round, bright eyes—who do they resemble? They certainly don't have his father's captivating, almond-shaped eyes. His nose and small mouth are exquisitely delicate, but they don't resemble Xie Yunxi much; they look more like Xie Yuheng…

Previously, when only Xie Jian appeared in public, no one seemed to notice anything. Now that Xie Jian and Yan Yu have both appeared, and Xie Yunxi is there for comparison, all sorts of strange speculations have suddenly emerged.

Xie Yunxi only needed to glance at the entire room to know what everyone was thinking.

He picked up a child in each arm, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd with an intimidating intensity, and took the microphone from the host:

"I have something to tell you all."
