spring bite mark

Chapter 118 One by one, they all came to freeload off the wedding.
marry?

This is a more tempting offer than any deception.

Yan Changye's heartbeat instantly went out of control.

He understood the purpose behind Xie Yuheng's behavior at the banquet, and he knew that the man was determined to marry Jiang Manman, and no one could stop him, even though Old Master Xie was furious about it. Xie Yuheng's legal team had already begun preparing the marriage documents...

"Marriage?" Yan Changye asked in a low voice, feigning modesty. "Go marry your Xie Yuheng. I've never even been in a relationship before, and I don't want to be suddenly tied down by marriage."

"I broke up with him." She picked up her phone and waved it at the text message screen. There was a breakup message she had sent to Xie Yuheng, which was still unread.

It is true.

At this moment, Xie Yuheng was unaware that his girlfriend had come out for some fresh air and had discovered his unfaithful behavior, leaving her heartbroken. He was still busy juggling relationships with other women; he had no time to check his phone…

Yan Changye looked at Jiang Manman.

The girl's arms were still wrapped around his neck, her delicate face pressed very close to his, their breaths mingling, making his whole body tense—

After all, she was a woman he had coveted for a long time.

At that moment, the emotions were perfectly set, and the girl even brought up a word he had never dared to think of.

It seemed to be his only chance to get ahead.

Once Xie Yuheng realizes what's happening, he'll use a little trickery to win back Yan Changye's heart, and then Yan Changye will be out of the picture.

A jumble of thoughts raced through his mind. Yan Changye finally succumbed to her allure, his voice hoarse slightly: "You really want to marry me?"

"Let's get married now." The girl nodded seriously.

Yan Changye glanced at his watch—there were still five hours until dawn, and he didn't have much time left.

He made a quick decision, his eyes fixed intently on the person in his arms: "Alright."

A phone call was made. Twenty minutes later, Attorney Chen arrived with two other lawyers and a stack of documents.

"Mr. Xie, Mrs. Xie, I'm here to process your marriage certificate."

Yan Changye gave a faint "hmm," lowered his eyes, and asked Jiang Manman one last time, in a serious tone: "Are you sure you want to marry me?"

"You're so annoying, I've told you so many times." Jiang Manman's almond-shaped eyes were soft, but her tone was very serious. "I want to get married and play with you."

Yan Changye looked at Attorney Chen: "Let's begin."

Attorney Chen said respectfully, "Please show your ID cards."

Jiang Manman, seemingly clear-headed but actually in a daze, picked up her bag and rummaged through it for a long time.

Yan Changye casually took out her ID card and related documents from her bag: "Drunk? You can't even see them right next to you."

After saying that, he handed over his ID card to Attorney Chen.

Attorney Chen was keen to curry favor with the new CEO, Mr. Xie, and the marriage registration was processed extremely quickly. Within minutes, he respectfully returned the ID card with both hands.

"The marriage certificate has been notarized. Congratulations to Mr. Xie and his wife on their marriage! The marriage certificate will be ready within three days. I will personally deliver it to Mr. Xie's residence then."

After saying that, he took his leave.

Jiang Manman glanced casually at the ID card that had been returned to Yan Changye's hand, and was a little stunned: "Xie-Yun-Xi? How come it's Xie Yunxi?"

"Xie Yunxi is also me." After completing the marriage notarization, Yan Changye inexplicably gained a bit more of the demeanor of a legitimate wife, and her tone softened several degrees. "The procedures for marriage registration in different places are complicated. Xie Yunxi has a Hong Kong ID card, which can save a lot of procedures."

He paused for a moment: "You're still three months shy of turning twenty, so you only meet the requirements for getting a marriage certificate in Hong Kong. Once you turn twenty, I'll apply to the higher-ups and we can get a certificate together using your Beijing ID card."

In mainland China, one must be at least 20 years old to obtain a marriage certificate, while the legal marriage age in Hong Kong is a few years more lenient than in Beijing.

Otherwise, why would Xie Yuheng be in such a hurry to bring her to Hong Kong? Given his cautious and decisive nature, he probably already completed the formalities in the capital long ago... Jiang Manman's mind was like mush, she was completely confused and had no ability to think, so she just blankly said "oh".

Yan Changye felt that she was not in a good state, but when he looked into her eyes, they were very clear and did not seem like she was delirious.

He closed the door, locked it, and picked her up.

"Alright." His heart was surging with excitement, and his tone was slightly swaying. "If you want to play, we can play now legitimately."

He placed Jiang Manman on the bed, and she tilted her head to look at him for a long time before giving a soft, sweet "hmm."

Alcohol easily triggers the body's most primal reactions, and besides, the man in front of her was so handsome.

As the long night descended and beauties were before her, all Jiang Manman could do was rely on her instincts, which had been aroused by the other party.

The night was long and lingering, and quite enchanting.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Manman lay limply in Yan Changye's arms, her breathing unsteady, her almond-shaped eyes gazing at him with gentle tenderness.

Yan Changye was clearly still not satisfied.

But Shen Zongqian has called to urge him five or six times already.

If he hadn't already booked an important trip, he would have loved to drop everything and immerse himself in Jiang Manman's company for a whole month.

He gave her a kiss on the cheek, a gesture that was both affectionate and helpless, and then reported his itinerary: "There's been a problem with a project overseas, and I have to go on a business trip soon. You can stay in Hong Kong or go back to Beijing if you want. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done."

As he spoke, his voice lowered and became slightly hoarse: "I'll play with you every day then."

When Yan Changye's private jet pierced the sky, Jiang Manman was already fast asleep again.

This sleep was exceptionally long.

It was so long that by 11 a.m. when Xie Yuheng came looking for her, she still showed no signs of waking up.

Xie Yuheng drank quite a bit at the family reunion banquet, and had many social engagements. After the banquet, he also held a shareholders' meeting that lasted for several hours.

Once everything was finished, his heart had already flown to his girlfriend.

He had absurdly touched many women at the banquet. Smelling the pungent perfumes on his body, he suppressed his nausea and took a long shower before finally turning on his phone to contact Jiang Manman.

The moment I turned on the computer, I saw Jiang Manman's breakup message.

It was sent ten hours ago.

He was confused but anxious. He didn't even have time to drink the hangover soup his assistant had prepared, and he ran to Jiang Manman's room in his bathrobe without changing his clothes.

The girl was fast asleep. Her breathing was light and shallow, her face was flushed, and she slept very peacefully.

But the exposed neck, collarbone, and arms, covered with shocking bite marks on delicate, fair skin, drove Xie Yuheng almost insane!
His face was extremely grim: "Find out who that man is."

The assistant accepted the order and left.

Xie Yuheng stood frozen in place for a while before walking towards Jiang Manman.

She slept so soundly, her expression serene, a lingering allure still on her face. Xie Yuheng, on the other hand, seemed drained of all strength, haggard and utterly distraught.

He carefully pulled Jiang Manman into his arms, holding her tightly, his eyes filled with pain and panic, without uttering a word.

When Jiang Manman finally woke up, she heard him speak in a firm and unwavering tone:
"Manman, let's get married, right now."
