Chapter 62 Settling Accounts Afterwards
Three o'clock in the morning.

On the Night Chase cruise ship, most people were already resting, but there were still quite a few night owls, each gathering in their own groups to party.

In the midst of a decadent atmosphere, the cruise ship suddenly received an order to come to a sudden stop.

Then, the revelers saw dozens of bodyguards emerge from various areas, solemnly heading towards the bow of the ship. The heads of wealthy families who had been resting, along with their families, also seemed to have suddenly received some news, emerging from their lounges and gathering at the bow of the ship, dressed neatly.

"What happened?" the unsuspecting person asked, bewildered.

However, driven by curiosity, many people followed the crowd to see what was happening.

The bow of the ship is a helipad.

At this moment, the staff have cleared all obstacles from the tarmac.

Then, a group of people from wealthy and powerful families waited without complaint.

Twenty minutes later.

A red signal flashed in the dark sky as a luxurious private helicopter approached from afar and landed on the helipad in just a few minutes.

Some sharp-eyed observers noticed the helicopter and gave a soft hiss.
"This is the world's most luxurious offensive and defensive helicopter. Who is this big shot who came?"

"Don't ask anymore. Didn't you see that the heads of those super families are all standing obediently? The people who came here are of a higher or even higher status than them?"

As the crowd murmured among themselves, the cabin door opened, and a man with a languid expression stepped out.

His face was frosty, and his delicate peach blossom eyes were filled with coldness. He had a nonchalant and lazy appearance, but he did not give people a frivolous feeling. Instead, he had an indescribable sense of pressure.

Although most of those present were from wealthy families, not everyone had ever seen this young master who had dominated Beijing's social circles with just his face. Moreover, there were also many celebrities and special guests who came to observe.

Therefore, as soon as Yan Changye appeared, countless gasps of surprise rang out from all around. Although they tried their best to hide it, the spotlight-like gazes were already uncontrollably fixed on Yan Changye.

Yan Changye glanced indifferently at the crowd, his captivating peach blossom eyes fixed on Shen Zongqian.

Shen Zongqian felt a chill run down his spine and immediately gave his bodyguards a look. Instantly, the bodyguards standing guard to the side parted the crowd and cleared a path.

Shen Zongqian said respectfully, "Boss, please."

Then, surrounded by a large group of bodyguards, Yan Changye headed towards his private lounge.

Shen Zongqian then looked at the group of people around him, pausing particularly at the major super families, and said apologetically:

"The BOSS must be tired from his journey. You all might as well go back and rest. We can chat with him when he has time."

"Little Shen, do you know why the Crown Prince suddenly rushed back so urgently, and even came directly onto the cruise ship? Has something serious happened?" the head of the Zhu family probed.

Shen Zongqian politely dodged the question: "As subordinates, we dare not speculate on the BOSS's affairs."

The members of the wealthy family looked at each other in bewilderment and eventually left dejectedly.

The bow of the ship soon became empty again.

In a secluded place, someone finally couldn't help but sigh:

"So this is the legendary Crown Prince Yan. He's incredibly handsome. Even the top male celebrities in the entertainment industry are no match for him!"

"Top-tier family background, top-tier temperament, and top-tier looks—which woman was incredibly lucky to snag him?! I suddenly understand the crazy mentality of those socialites. Just a fleeting glimpse, who wouldn't be mesmerized?"

"I'm more curious about his wife," someone else said, their eyes glazed over. "This kind of man can make you fall in love at first sight, and she not only sees him every day, but she can also sleep with him. I wonder if her heart can take it?"

……

Private lounge.

Jiang Manman was startled awake by the sound of the door opening. When she looked up, she saw Yan Changye standing at the head of the bed, his peach blossom eyes gazing at her. She sat up in surprise: "Aren't you supposed to be back tomorrow? According to the schedule, you shouldn't arrive until tomorrow night at the earliest."

Yan Changye's eyes were deep and his voice was low and hoarse: "I'll leave as soon as I hang up on you."

Jiang Manman glanced at her phone. Only four hours had passed since their video call last night. Her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Why are you in such a rush?

Yan Changye's long, slender, jade-like fingers gracefully began to unbutton his shirt, one button at a time, his tone carrying a profound meaning:
"I also come from the recommended bedchamber."

Jiang Manman: "..."

All night until dawn.

The sun rose slowly from the sea, its golden rays casting an ambiguous glow throughout the room.

The banquet continued unrestrainedly throughout the night.

On the bed, on the carpet, in the bathroom.

He became so fierce that he lost control.

Jiang Manman knew he was provoked by that sentence in the video, so she let him make a fuss.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, he finally vented his jealousy and felt refreshed as he held Jiang Manman in his arms, returning to his usual nonchalant and lazy demeanor.

He gently nibbled on a strand of Jiang Manman's hair, his lips tinged with a decadent allure: "I left in such a hurry that I didn't bring you a gift. Xie Jian personally went to the vegetable garden and picked some vegetables overnight. Shen Zongqian has already taken them to the restaurant. The chef will prepare them for you to try."

However, they never mentioned Xie Yuheng.

Jiang Manman nestled lazily in his arms and hummed in agreement.

"I'll go see those aristocratic families later, and also meet the Xie family." Yan Changye was in a good mood, with a soft, fragrant body in his arms. "I'll come and keep you company after I'm done with my work."

Jiang Manman glared at him: "I'm not in a hurry for you to keep me company, I need to rest."

Yan Changye gently brushed his fingertip across her lips, a faint yet indulgent smile playing on his lips.

At 11 o'clock, in the conference room on the cruise ship, Yan Changye sat at the head of the table and said in a nonchalant tone, "Please sit down."

The heads of the six super families and more than a dozen top wealthy families sat down with nervous expressions.

The head of the Zhu family looked slightly grave: "Your Highness, you specifically summoned us here...?"

Yan Changye raised his chin slightly, his posture relaxed, his tone unpredictable:

"I heard that the Xie Group next door has been holding a small meeting for a whole day and night. I'll take this opportunity to hold a meeting for you too, so that the people from Hong Kong don't think that we people from the capital are easy to bully and don't come to my territory to interfere all the time."

Those in power looked at each other in bewilderment.

Clearly, someone in the port city has displeased the young master.

Li, the person in charge, laughed it off: "It's the period of cooperation between Beijing and Hong Kong, so some minor frictions are inevitable, but overall it's still very harmonious."

Yan Changye gave a noncommittal chuckle.

However, since it's not a big deal, we still need to talk about these minor matters. Chen Mohan spoke up: "Your Highness, the real estate projects of the Chen Group and the Xie Group have been launched. We have drafted detailed plans. Would you like to take a look?"

"Give it to me later." Yan Changye shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, his exquisite eyebrows and eyes exuding a dashing and unrestrained charm. "Let's talk about the matter of my wife being cornered in the VIP room by that Xie fellow."

An eerie silence suddenly fell over the conference room.

"You were all there, you knew that was my wife, yet you didn't stop her," Yan Changye said coldly. "What, are you all dead now?"
