Chapter 154 Royal Water Bay

Harbor Royal Bay.

The grand convoy of luxury cars traveled smoothly from the airport to Xie Yunxi's private villa.

Inside the villa, the old butler, who had already received the news, stood guard at the villa's main gate with a group of servants, eagerly awaiting news.

With one hand resting on Jiang Manman's slender waist, Xie Yunxi, the heir of the Xie family conglomerate, stepped into Yushui Bay, surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

His expression was extremely cold, but when he lowered his head to speak to Jiang Manman, whom he was holding in his arms, that sense of aloofness was replaced by an extremely intimate aura.

The old steward was secretly alarmed.

He only knew that Xie Yunxi was bringing his two young masters back, but he didn't know that such a proud and beautiful woman would be accompanying them. Judging from the doting attitude of his young master Yunxi, it was clear that they were more than just friends.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xie Yunxi spoke with a hint of teasing: "Madam, how does Yushui Bay compare to our love nest in the capital?"

Jiang Manman curiously looked around at the manor-style villa. It was extremely large, stretching as far as the eye could see, and its style leaned towards modern Chinese. In this port city where land is incredibly valuable, such a mansion would cost no less than, and perhaps even more than, the No. 1 Mansion.

She glanced lightly at the man beside her with her almond-shaped eyes: "It looks even bigger than in the video last time. Mr. Xie Yunxi, you certainly know how to enjoy yourself."

She deliberately emphasized the three characters 'Xie Yunxi', which made the man's smile deepen. He lowered his head and kissed her hair: "It was designed according to my darling wife's preferences. I hope you like it."

Jiang Manman gave a soft "Mmm": "I'll have Ayu and Xie Jian show me around these next few days."

Upon hearing this, the old butler snapped out of his daze and quickly greeted them:

"Young Master Yunxi!"

He looked at Jiang Manman again, his tone respectful and without hesitation, "Madam!"

"Hello." Jiang Manman nodded politely.

"This is Steward Xu, one of the three main stewards of Yushui Bay, who is specifically responsible for taking care of Ayu and Xie Jian," Xie Yunxi explained gently.

Jiang Manman's gaze towards the housekeeper immediately became serious, and she thanked him gently, "Housekeeper Xu, thank you for taking care of the two children all these years."

"No, no, it's my duty!" Butler Xu quickly replied. "It's been so many years since I last met you, Madam, it's such a pleasant surprise!"

"Grandpa Butler!" Xie Jian's babyish voice was full of pride, "Isn't my mommy especially beautiful, like a fairy!"

The butler thought to himself, with Xie Yunxi's status and face, what ordinary woman could possibly catch his eye? It would be abnormal if his wife wasn't like a fairy…

Before he could offer any flattery, Xie Yunxi interrupted calmly, "Alright, you've been on the plane for several hours, you must be tired. Go inside and rest."

After saying that, he led Jiang Manman inside.

Behind them, Xie Jian and Yan Yu followed with their short legs.

The villa was furnished with top-tier luxury items, reflecting the sophisticated taste and aesthetics of the man. It took Jiang Manman nearly an hour just to stroll around the villa. Compared to the somewhat sensitive identity of the Beijing circle's young master, Xie Yunxi from the Hong Kong circle was clearly less concerned. Priceless paintings and antiques were displayed everywhere, and there was even a collection room of several hundred square meters, filled with collections worth hundreds of millions.

The changing rooms here are also larger and more luxurious, with the latest men's and children's clothing hanging inside. There are also hundreds of bathrobes of various sizes at the back, but compared to the men's bathrobes in the capital, the styles here are relatively more conservative.

As Jiang Manman became engrossed in reading, the man behind her, now dressed in his pajamas, leaned closer and whispered, "Mrs. Xie, after reading for so long, you seem to have some feelings about it?"

“There really is one.” Jiang Manman nodded and analyzed seriously, “Xie Yunxi’s identity seems to be more extravagant and more unrestrained, but also more conservative and restrained.”

Xie Yunxi raised an eyebrow: "Unrestrained and conservative... that seems like a paradox." "Unrestrained refers to temperament, conservative refers to clothing—think back to those bathrobes you wore in Mansion No. 1, they were incredibly sexy, who knew you'd go for a conservative look in Hong Kong..."

“Our statuses are different.” Xie Yunxi chuckled. “Here, who am I supposed to be sexy for? But now that I have a wife, a batch of custom-made sexy, sheer bathrobes will be delivered this afternoon, a couple’s set.”

Jiang Manman: "..."

"Shall we take a look at our bedroom?" Xie Yunxi suggested softly. "I designed it myself, and it's exactly the same as the bedroom in No. 1 Mansion. It's just that the bathroom is a bit lacking. I never thought that I would bathe with my wife here at Royal Water Bay, so it was designed according to the children's preferences."

Jiang Manman hummed in agreement.

The master bedroom is on the third floor. Jiang Manman and Xie Yunxi walked in hand in hand. The familiar layout made her feel instantly at ease, and she couldn't help but lie down on the bed and bury her face in the soft, cloud-like blankets.

Behind her, Xie Yunxi leaned over her, his voice sexy: "Madam, I usually sleep with the children. I've never slept in this bedroom before. Shall we experience it together?"

They are clearly the same person.

But this man, so serious and always calling her "Madam," always managed to make her and the gentle, flirtatious man who called him "Madam" think of them as two different people.

A strange sense of shame welled up inside her. She finally couldn't hold back and whispered, "Yan Changye, perhaps we should—"

"Where did this Yan Changye come from?" Xie Yunxi clicked his tongue with a wicked grin, clearly enjoying his role-playing. "Mrs. Xie, you're under Xie Yunxi right now, so don't call out other men's names, okay?"

Jiang Manman: "..."

The familiar dog smell on the man is back!
In the afternoon, Jiang Manman was taken by Xie Jian and Yan Yu to visit the garden and vegetable garden.

"The seeds in the garden were sown by my brother, and they are all Mommy's favorite flowers; the seeds in the vegetable garden were sown by me, and there are lush green vegetables, purple eggplants, bright red tomatoes, and golden pumpkins. Mommy, come and see!"

"Well, shall we start by visiting Ayu's garden?"

Jiang Manman took one of them by the hand and they left the villa's lobby.

The old butler, watching from the side, suddenly had tears in his eyes.

Although there are two children in the family over the years, both of them, whether they are the quiet one who draws quietly or the one who jumps around, are extremely withdrawn. They only act like children when Xie Yunxi comes home; otherwise, they are prickly.

But at this moment, beside that woman, the two children's bright eyes were fixed on her, so obedient and gentle, all their thorns completely gone, leaving only deep affection for her.

“Young Master Yunxi, you should bring your wife home soon. These past few years have been tough on the two young masters…”

The old butler sighed and looked towards the sofa.

Xie Yunxi sat languidly on the sofa. His usually aloof and exquisite features seemed to have been bathed in the colors of spring, exuding a captivating charm from every angle.

He had clearly taken a shower as soon as he got home, spent several hours showing his wife around the bedroom on the third floor, and then showered again afterward. His pajamas had been replaced by a low-cut nightgown...

The old housekeeper, being an experienced man, coughed lightly and looked away.

Compared to the two young masters, this aloof and cold eldest young master has also become obsessed with women.

Xie Yunxi glanced at the butler, whose expression was complicated, and said, "I have something to tell you."
