Chapter 171 Birthday Party

All eyes were on Xie Yunxi.

He said casually, "These two in my arms are my children with my wife. Please stop making all sorts of wild speculations. I'm a man who holds grudges. If my two sons' reputations are damaged, don't blame me for turning against them."

Everyone laughed heartily: "No, no!"

Regardless of their inner suspicions, they suppressed all their curiosity.

The emcee began the ceremony, which lasted for over half an hour before concluding and the banquet began. Various expensive gifts were piled on the gift registry table. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Yuheng directly took out two documents and handed them to Xie Jian and Yan Yu, his voice gentle and warm:

"This is a birthday gift from your great-uncle. Happy birthday to you two darlings, and may you grow up healthy."

Xie Jian exclaimed, "Thank you, Uncle! What is it?"

“Two cruise ships.” Xie Yuheng paused for a moment. “Not too good, they only rank sixth and seventh globally.”

Everyone was speechless.

Sixth and seventh globally aren't good enough? Currently, the most stylish cruise ship in China is undoubtedly the "Chase the Night," owned by the son of the Yan family in Beijing, which ranks third globally. Apart from that, I haven't heard of any other wealthy person's cruise ship making it into the top ten. Even among the top ten, most are commercial cruise ships used for tourism. As for those used privately, besides the "Chase the Night," the only other options are the two that Xie Yuheng just brought out…

If I remember correctly, those two ships originally belonging to the two royal families overseas somehow ended up in Xie Yuheng's hands.

"Chairman Xie really dotes on these two younger generation members!" Many people couldn't help but sigh.

Even Xie Yunxi couldn't help but click his tongue: "Why are you being so nice to them? Don't spoil them."

Although Xie Yuheng is two years younger than Xie Yunxi, because of the difference in their generations, he is the one who appears more mature and composed when speaking to Xie Yunxi.
"I will hand over most of my shares to my children in the future, so what is a mere cruise ship?"

Xie Yunxi scoffed, "Uncle, get married soon, have a few children, and settle down. You don't need to care too much about other people's children."

Xie Yuheng said calmly, "In my heart, they are my own sons."

Xie Yunxi's expression turned slightly cold, and he didn't respond. After all, it was a public place, and there was no need to discuss his entanglements with Xie Yuheng in front of outsiders. Besides, Jiang Manman was still there. She was thin-skinned, and if she was suspected in front of so many people, who knew how she would treat him coldly in bed later.

But in reality, he has already been neglected.

As soon as the banquet ceremony ended, Jiang Manman left Xie Yunxi's side and was called to a corner by Murong Xin.

The Murong family was definitely going to attend the birthday banquet of the Xie family's heir apparent. Murong Xin was just going through the motions, placing two thick red envelopes on the gift table before planning to leave.

But she saw Jiang Manman standing next to Xie Yunxi.

In such a large public occasion, Jiang Manman, as Xie Yunxi's lover, should not have attended. However, she not only came, but also blatantly wore the same couple's dress with Xie Yunxi. She was being intimately embraced by Xie Yunxi, and the saccharine scene was so sweet that it made Jiang Manman feel sick.

Once the ceremony ended, Jiang Manman was able to escape, only to be summoned by Murong Xin the next moment. The corner was less crowded, and the usually aloof and arrogant Miss Murong was rarely bothered by strangers.

"You've got some nerve," Murong Xin sighed. "Although there are no media at this banquet and important information about people will be kept under wraps, as the wife of the Crown Prince of the capital, aren't you afraid of a leak and things going wrong by appearing so brazenly by Xie Yunxi's side?"

"A complete disaster?" Jiang Manman poured her a glass of red wine. "What do you mean?"

"Although Xie Yunxi didn't introduce you, your presence here today, and your close association with him, is tantamount to acknowledging that you are Mrs. Xie." Murong Xin chuckled. "If I hadn't attended the private banquet on the Night Chaser and confirmed that you were Yan Changye's beloved wife, I would have truly believed it."

Jiang Manman: "..."

“I thought that after I posted Xie Yunxi’s flirtatious photos last time, you would break up with him, given your personality. I didn’t expect that not only did you not break up, but you were even more intimate than when we last met. If even one or two photos of the two of you leak out today, someone of Yan Changye’s status would probably find out immediately.” As Murong Xin finished speaking, she keenly felt a chilling shadow looming behind her.

She turned around reflexively, and Xie Yunxi stood behind her with a cold expression, looking down at her, his captivating peach blossom eyes filled with displeasure:
"I was wondering which bastard was sending me photos in front of my wife and betraying me, but it turns out it was Miss Murong. Miss Murong's reputation for being aloof and reserved is known throughout Hong Kong, but I didn't expect her to be such a gossip."

Murong Xin felt slightly embarrassed for a moment.

Jiang Manman didn't expect Xie Yunxi to come here. She coughed lightly and said, "You're taking the children to entertain guests. What are you doing here?"

"I came to find you." Xie Yunxi's gaze softened considerably as he looked at Jiang Manman. "I just didn't expect to catch the person who betrayed me red-handed."

"Xie Yunxi," Murong Xin interrupted coldly, "If you dare to be so promiscuous and play around with women, don't be afraid of being photographed."

"Who's playing around with women?" Xie Yunxi asked calmly, but his gaze toward Murong Xin was somewhat strange. "Oh, there's something Miss Murong probably doesn't know yet. Your father's so-called goddaughter will soon be your stepmother."

Murong Xin: "..."

"They have their love nest in the South District. If you don't believe me, Miss Murong, go and check it out yourself." Xie Yunxi stated the most explosive topic in the calmest tone. "They also have one in the East District and one in Wan Chai District. They both ranked in this year's Hong Kong beauty pageant. You say I'm a womanizer? That still can't compare to the Murong family head."

Jiang Manman couldn't listen anymore: "Xie Yunxi, stop talking."

This man is usually gossipy, which is one thing, but saying these things in front of Murong Xin today is somewhat unbecoming of his manners.

But what she didn't know was that the vengeful man harbored deep resentment towards the person who sent Jiang Manman the photos. Now that he had found the person in question, his verbal attacks were the result of his repeated forbearance.

Murong Xin's face darkened as expected, but she recovered in just a few seconds.

"Don't worry about the Murong family's affairs. I've heard that the Xie family's heir is a ruthless and cunning person. Coincidentally, the heir of the Beijing circle, Yan Changye, is also known for his vindictiveness. If you're messing with someone's wife, be careful you don't get torn apart."

Xie Yunxi chuckled slowly: "I not only have sex with Yan Changye's wife, but also with Manman and Yan Changye's child. The biological father is actually me. Tell me, isn't that exciting?"

Murong Xin was truly provoked!

Fortunately, Xie Yunxi had no intention of wasting time on irrelevant people. After saying that, he ignored Murong Xin, walked to Jiang Manman's side, leaned down and kissed her, and spoke in a consultative manner:
"After the banquet, shall we go see Grandpa?"

Jiang Manman hummed in agreement.

Having received a positive reply, Xie Yunxi prepared to leave.

But then Xie Yuheng walked over there as well.

Xie Yunxi frowned: "Is something the matter?"

"I'm looking for Manman." Xie Yuheng's tone was calm as he looked at Jiang Manman, who was standing next to Xie Yunxi. Seeing that she was slightly uncomfortable, he said softly, "You only said that we didn't need to meet in private, but this doesn't count as meeting in private."

There were many people around, and quite a few couldn't help but look this way.

Jiang Manman paused for a moment, then said, "Um, no. What did you want to see me about?"

Xie Yuheng handed over a cell phone: "This is the cell phone you left with me that night."
