spring bite mark

Chapter 119 Chicken talking to duck
The marriage, of course, did not take place.

The notary lawyer Xie Yuheng called subtly told him that the marriage system showed that someone had gotten there first and registered with Jiang Manman last night.

Xie Yuheng's face turned ashen, his eyes blazing with fury, so angry that his vision blurred.

But Jiang Manman seemed completely bewildered by this absurd and outrageous situation. She simply huddled under the covers, her face pale, and remained silent.

"Manman, last night..." Xie Yuheng probed, trying to find clues about the man's identity from her.

When Jiang Manman woke up, she had severe memory loss. In her remaining memories, the person had been biting her uncontrollably during their passionate embrace, calling her "baby" again and again with deep emotion. The memory of being touched wantonly in the dark was very clear, but she couldn't recall the person's face.

"Last night was absurd, let's both forget it." The last clear image Jiang Manman could recall was Xie Yuheng wandering among women, with a cascade of red wine in front of her.

But, is there any need to recall? She woke up to find herself in Xie Yuheng's arms, who was wearing a bathrobe, clearly having taken a shower afterward.

An indescribable sense of shame spread throughout my body.

“Manman, about marriage…” Xie Yuheng observed her expression and, finding that she had no recollection of last night’s events, abandoned his attempt to probe the man’s thoughts from her. He tacitly accepted her misunderstanding and changed the subject, coaxingly saying, “Let’s put the marriage on hold for now. Our relationship doesn’t need to be bound by a marriage certificate…”

He desperately wants to get married, to the point of madness.

He had painstakingly planned for a year and finally managed to coax Jiang Manman into marrying him. Today was the day he had planned to register their marriage.

The fruit that was about to be achieved was uprooted and taken away by someone.

Fast and hard.

"Let's not get married, let's break up."

His response was that Jiang Manman broke up with him again and then left resolutely.

Xie Yuheng didn't chase after him. The murderous intent he felt towards that man had long been uncontrollable. The moment Jiang Manman left, his face darkened, and he spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Find that person, and I'll make sure he dies a horrible death."

Yan Changye, who was far away abroad, had no idea that such an incident had occurred with his beloved wife after he left that morning.

Unlike Jiang Manman's sense of shame, Yan Changye missed her both physically and mentally.

He would send several messages to her every day, showing concern and trying to build a relationship.

But all those messages disappeared without a trace.

In the end, when he tried to call back, he discovered that even the number had been blocked.

Yan Changye: "..."

Having always been arrogant, Yan Changye was used to being begged and fawned over by women. He had never been treated with such coldness before.

He gradually gave up the idea of ​​trying to please others.

Two months passed before he finished his business abroad. With a hint of resentment, he flew straight back to Jiang Manman's apartment in the capital. Before he could even assert his right as her husband, he found her eating instant noodles in a disheveled state.

"You eat this stuff too?" His question turned into concern, a hint of heartache in his voice. "Are you short of money? I'll give you my supplementary card."

"What would I need your supplementary card for?" Jiang Manman glanced at him, her eyes indifferent. "I just suddenly have a craving. My tastes have become strange lately; I want to try things I never used to touch."

Yan Changye gave an "oh," strode up to her with his long legs, and asked her with a slightly condescending tone, "Why aren't you ignoring me?"

He was asking about the incident a while ago when Jiang Manman stopped replying to messages and even blocked him.

Jiang Manman didn't understand and blinked: "How could I not have talked to you? Didn't I answer you as soon as you came in?"

After saying that, he pointed to the sofa: "Why did you suddenly come here? Would you like to sit for a while?"

Yan Changye raised his peach blossom eyes slightly and clicked his tongue lightly: "Given our current relationship, isn't it normal for me to come here?" He lay down on the sofa, adopting the casualness of the male host, crossed his legs, looked relaxed, and said in a lazy voice: "Your place is too small, why don't you move to my place?"

Jiang Manman was clearly unaware that she and Yan Changye were not on the same wavelength.
"Why would I go to stay at your place for no reason?"

Yan Changye's tone became slightly resentful as he gently pinched her cheek: "Didn't we agree last time that we'd play together every day when I came back? This broken bed and crappy house of yours won't let you have enough fun."

In his villa's bedroom, a drawer was filled with all the necessities...

These days, he may have complained, but he also genuinely wanted to.

Jiang Manman was unaware that the conversation had taken an ambiguous turn. She listlessly slapped his hand away: "I'll come to your villa again in a while. I'm not in a good mood lately, and I just want to be alone."

"Are you in a bad mood?" Yan Changye saw that she was still wearing loose home clothes, her hair was just tied up casually, and she was not wearing makeup. She did not have her usual refined look, but she had a different kind of indescribable beauty. He couldn't help but ask her a few words of concern, "Who upset you? I'll help you get revenge."

Jiang Manman scratched her hair, feeling very irritable: "It's not anyone, it's just that I've been feeling weak all over lately, and I've been binge eating. I'm always hungry, but I can't eat anything. I might also have some stomach problems, and I feel nauseous from time to time, which makes me feel really uncomfortable."

Yan Changye's expression turned serious: "Shall I go with you to the hospital?"

“We’ll talk about it next week.” Jiang Manman pointed to a large pile of discarded drafts in the corner. “I’ve been so busy these past few days, I haven’t had any time.”

Seeing that she looked slightly tired, Yan Changye got up and poured her a glass of hot water. "Don't make yourself so tired. It's a rainy night, it's so boring to be working. We haven't seen each other for so long, how about we do something fun?"

Jiang Manman was stunned for a moment: "What kind of romantic things can you and I do?"

Yan Changye leaned close to her ear, his breath slightly ragged: "I bought you a few sets of underwear."

Jiang Manman's body stiffened!
Yan Changye's hand was already gripping her slender waist, his voice even lower: "Manman, shall we?"

His response was Jiang Manman's deathly pale face!

She shoved him away abruptly, her voice filled with anger: "Yan Changye, what kind of person do you take me for!"

"What else can I take you for?" Yan Changye's eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't you quite enjoy the Xie Clan's homecoming banquet that night?"

Jiang Manman's first reaction was that the absurdity of her and Xie Yuheng's affair on the night of the family reunion banquet had already reached Yan Changye's ears.

Overwhelmed with shame and anger, she retorted, her eyes reddening with rage: "What do you mean, 'like'?! What happened that night was absolutely awful! What makes you think that just because I made that one mistake, you can treat me like a promiscuous woman and toy with me at will?"

This time, the one who was completely bewildered was Yan Changye.

"Was what happened that night a terrible mistake?" The romantic feelings in his heart vanished, and his expression turned several degrees colder. "Jiang Manman, you're quite something, wanting it and then throwing it away just like that."

“How could I dare to treat a dignified young master of Beijing’s elite circles like a servant?” Jiang Manman decisively dismissed him. “The young master is a womanizer; he can have any woman he wants. There’s no need for him to waste his time on me.”

"That night..." Yan Changye really wanted to ask if he hadn't tried hard enough, which was why she was so disgusted with him.

Jiang Manman interrupted, "Your Highness, just treat what happened that night as a joke."

"A joke?" Yan Changye stood up, his lazy expression carrying a hint of mockery and coldness. "This is the biggest joke I've ever made in my life."

After saying that, he left indifferently without looking back.

At that time, he had no idea that the woman in front of him had no memory of what happened that night.

This time, he deliberately ignored her, not contacting her for three whole months.

Until Xie Jian and Yan Yu appeared...
