Chapter 63 Advice for Your Love Rival
The head of the Zhu family coughed lightly: "We did try to stop them, but it was just a normal private conversation, and we shouldn't interfere too much."

Chen Mohan added, "Your Highness, rest assured, they only stayed for ten minutes and did not overstep any boundaries."

Seeing Yan Changye's inscrutable expression, the head of the Li family also spoke up: "It's because we trust Chairman Xie's character and Miss Jiang's character. But if the Crown Prince minds, next time we encounter such an emergency, we will definitely protect Miss Jiang immediately and ensure that not even a fly can get close."

Yan Changye listened with a half-smile, but didn't respond.

The powerful figures from the aristocratic families exchanged glances, knowing that his anger had not subsided, and braced themselves to begin explaining again.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later, when the people in power were parched, that Yan Changye glanced at the group with disdain:
"Alright, everyone get out. Chen Mohan, invite Xie Yuheng from the next conference room over. I want to talk to him personally."

Chen Mohan's expression tightened slightly: "Your Highness, the Chen family and the Xie family still have a partnership, so please be careful."

Seeing that Yan Changye remained silent and just stared at him with a melancholy expression, Chen Mohan dared not say another word and turned to go next door.

A few minutes later, Xie Yuheng walked in from outside, looking icy cold.

The door to the conference room was closed.

Xie Yuheng sat down opposite Yan Changye, his cool gaze falling lightly on Yan Changye's face:

"The shareholders of the Xie family conglomerate are all next door. Do you want to go and meet them?"

"not see."

"Shall we talk about the BlackRock project?"

Yan Changye scoffed, "I'm not going to talk to you about business, I'm only going to talk about Manman."

Xie Yuheng looked at him, his expression unreadable.

Yan Changye met his gaze with cold eyes. The top button of his shirt was undone, and from Xie Yuheng's angle, a fingernail scratch and a pink lip print half-hidden inside the shirt were clearly visible.

He knew that Yan Changye had rushed to the cruise ship in the early hours of the morning. Given Yan Changye's personality, the fact that he had waited until now to come find him made it obvious what he had been doing for the past few hours. Xie Yuheng suppressed the growing jealousy in his heart and spoke coldly:

"I have nothing to talk to you about."

"Nothing to talk about? You've already offered yourself up!" Yan Changye sneered. "Xie Yuheng, her legal husband, is me."

A dark glint flashed in Xie Yuheng's eyes, his voice icy: "So what?"

Yan Changye spoke casually, his tone dripping with sarcasm: "If you dare touch her, I dare touch the Xie family. If the Xie family falls apart and is left in turmoil because of a past relationship, Chairman Xie will probably have no way to face the ancestors of the Xie family..."

Xie Yuheng's eyes darkened: "Don't forget who you are—"

Yan Changye interrupted casually: "Since Chairman Xie knows who I am, he should know even better what he can and cannot do. Manman is still waiting for me, Chairman Xie, you'd better watch yourself."

He gracefully buttoned up his coat, stood up, and strode away.

Inside, Xie Yuheng's eyes were dark and his expression was inscrutable.

Yan Changye went to the lounge to find Jiang Manman.

However, Jiang Manman was not in the room.

She met up with the people from Muchan Studio and had lunch together in the cafeteria.

"I heard that the Crown Prince descended from the sky at dawn. Everyone who saw him said he was even more bewitching than Daji, and incredibly handsome!" Shan Shan said with some annoyance. "I actually slept like a log and missed it."

Ayla was also upset: "I was asleep too. I asked others for photos this morning, but they didn't dare to take any. They just said he was devastatingly beautiful—it's a pity they haven't seen our boss's husband. If you ask me, our boss's husband is the one who is truly breathtakingly beautiful."

Jiang Rong coughed lightly, didn't interrupt, and just kept preparing food for Jiang Manman.

Jiang Manman buried her head and ate her food in small bites. Her whole body felt sore and she had no appetite.

"Boss, you said last time that if there was a chance, you'd let us meet the boss's husband again on the cruise ship." Shan Shan looked at Jiang Manman expectantly. "We've been completely immersed in a life of luxury these past few days, and I forgot to ask you, did the boss's husband come this time?"

Jiang Rong interrupted, "This is the boss's private matter, don't ask questions."

Shan Shan gave an awkward "oh".

Jiang Manman took a sip of soup, then looked down and picked up her phone: "He came, but he's very busy. I'll ask him if it's convenient for him to see you." Just then, Yan Changye called.

Jiang Manman answered: "I'm at the buffet restaurant on the ninth floor."

"We agreed to eat Xie Jianzhai's dishes together, why did you go there alone?" Yan Changye's voice was deep and sexy. "Should I come find you?"

Jiang Manman looked at the Mu Chan employees who were all staring at her, and lowered her voice slightly:

"My designers are eager to see you."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then Yan Changye's teasing voice came through: "Does Madam wish me to see her?"

Jiang Manman hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is it convenient for you?"

"good."

Jiang Manman glanced at the empty restaurant around her and said, "Then come over here, but don't mention your identity."

Yan Changye clicked his tongue softly.

ten minutes later.

The restaurant staff received a phone call, and then, looking apologetic, cleared everyone out of the restaurant, leaving only Jiang Manman's table.

Then, several bodyguards quietly took control of the entire restaurant.

The employees of Muchan were somewhat uneasy.

Ayla whispered, "How come everyone in the restaurant just left?"

Jiang Manman said softly, "I don't know, we'll just eat our own food."

She ate with ease, and gradually the others relaxed. However, after only a few bites, another person walked in, accompanied by a very affectionate soft call:
"Madam, I'm here."

Jiang Rong froze as she served the food, instinctively looking towards the door. She opened her mouth, but didn't dare to address him.

At the entrance, the tall and long-legged Yan Changye slowly walked towards Jiang Manman. His perfect figure and charming features, even though it wasn't the first time they had seen each other, still made everyone in Chaomu collectively speechless, their hearts pounding, and they were all dazed and at a loss.

Yan Changye's gaze swept over the others, finally settling on Jiang Manman.

He sat down next to Jiang Manman, naturally reaching out to put his arm around her waist, lowering his head slightly, with a hint of accusation in his voice:
"They don't even invite me to meals."

After speaking, he reached out and pushed away all the food next to Jiang Manman. He did so casually, the wedding ring on his ring finger gleaming with understated luxury under the restaurant lights. A slight smile played on his lips as he greeted the group with a hint of mockery.
"Hello."

"Hello, boss!"

The word "boss's husband" deepened the smile in Yan Changye's eyes, and he fell silent.

Soon, Shen Zongqian personally arranged for the chef to bring over several dishes of freshly stir-fried vegetables, which were then placed in front of Jiang Manman.

"These are all vegetables from the Xie family's vegetable garden?" A look of delight flashed across Jiang Manman's eyes.

Yan Changye hummed in agreement: "Try it."

He personally served her food: "These are all specially supplied varieties. If you like them, I'll go to the Xie family next time and get some seeds to grow in my own villa."

Jiang Manman said softly, "I'm afraid I won't have time."

“There are servants to help with growing vegetables. You can learn from Xie Jian and just sow a few seeds. With your delicate appearance, how could I bear to let you really work hard?” Yan Changye said matter-of-factly.

Jiang Manman looked at the eyes of her employees, which shone brighter than titanium alloy, and gently patted Yan Changye's hand:

"Let's eat first, and we can discuss planting vegetables later."

Beside her, Ayla couldn't contain her gossip: "Boss, which company do you work for?"
