Chapter 234 Two Kinds of Life
Xie Yuheng's previously calm expression completely crumbled!

For so many years, he had never been looked at like that by her again.

He tentatively reached out and slowly embraced her, his cool gaze becoming a galaxy of stars, each reflection a reflection of her image.

"Manman, do you... know who I am?"

Jiang Manman tilted her head and muttered, "Xie Yuheng, didn't we just get married? Why are you talking so strangely..."

"Then..." Xie Yuheng's voice was very soft, "Do you love me?"

Jiang Manman exclaimed, "If I don't love you, who will I love? You are my... my... my..."

Her eyes were blank for a moment.

Then, she slowly withdrew her arm from Xie Yuheng's neck.

"No, no..." A battle seemed to rage within her, her face gradually turning pale, her body swaying precariously. "My...husband is Yan...Yan...Changye."

After saying that, he lost consciousness!

Xie Yuheng reached out and picked her up, placing her on the sofa in the private room. He glanced at Mr. Zhong, noticing her pained and conflicted expression even in her unconscious state.

Mr. Zhong said softly, "Hypnosis, after all, disrupts the original memory and implants a new memory program. Today is the first time, and the time is limited. She will only be hypnotized for a few minutes. But don't worry, Chairman Xie, once she gets used to it, the hypnosis can last for several hours, or even longer."

After saying that, he flicked the coin lightly with his finger.

As if receiving some kind of instruction, Jiang Manman's brain gradually relaxed and fell into a true sleep state.

Xie Yuheng was still reeling from the fleeting illusion of those few minutes.

His heart was pounding, and although his face remained calm, the slight tremor in his voice betrayed his turbulent inner state:
"So, even if Xie Yunxi didn't exist, it's still possible for her to fall in love with me again, right?"

Mr. Zhong pondered: "Theoretically speaking, as long as psychological suggestion is given day after day, she may indeed be able to reorganize her emotions. But Mr. Xie, no matter how mysterious hypnosis is, it cannot control a person's subconscious. Moreover, this kind of false world construction needs to be reinforced every day. In the long run, it will have an irreversible impact on her mental health."

"What do you mean by irreversible impact?" Xie Yuheng frowned slightly.

Mr. Zhong sighed: "Schizophrenia, or to put it more seriously, mental illness, makes it difficult to distinguish between illusion and reality, and it is very likely to develop into severe depression. Therefore, Mr. Xie, the safest way is to make her truly fall in love with you in the shortest amount of time, using hypnosis to deceive herself, without harming her. My advice is not to do it for more than six months."

Xie Yuheng's face paled slightly.

She just smiled so sweetly, her eyes were so bright when she looked at me, and she spoke so gently to me. Was all of this built on the premise that it might cause her mental harm?

“Mr. Ning.” He looked at the other person. “You just said that she and I are bound together for life, so, in fact, without hypnosis, she can still be with me and achieve a happy ending, right?”

“Entanglement is not the same as marriage.” Mr. Ning’s gaze swept back and forth between him and Jiang Manman. “Judging from your facial features, you may eventually achieve a happy ending, but the process will definitely be arduous. Your destiny is full of hidden dangers. If she is with you, she is destined to be wandering, fearful, and uneasy.”

Xie Yuheng's expression suddenly turned cold!
His face suddenly darkened: "Say it again."

Mr. Ning was not afraid of him and repeated what he had just said, adding, "But the process wasn't so pleasant. There were many ups and downs, but she still made it to the end. It's just that she suffered more. Life is full of suffering, so it's nothing to worry about."

Xie Yuheng remained silent for a long time, his voice becoming slightly hoarse: "You've seen Xie Yunxi's face. So, she's with Xie Yunxi?"

This time, Mr. Ning did not answer immediately.

Xie Yuheng waited a long time before Mr. Ning slowly said, "Smooth sailing, it is a match made in heaven that is extremely rare in terms of marriage and destiny."

Xie Yuheng: "..."

Mr. Ning changed the subject: "Forgive my bluntness, but those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. Chairman Xie's melancholy these past years is simply due to unfulfilled desires. Once you get what you want, your career will undoubtedly experience even greater growth. Compared to personal success, women are merely icing on the cake." "She is not my icing on the cake," Xie Yuheng interrupted.

The atmosphere turned cold once again.

The antique shop owner, who had been keeping a close eye on the commotion outside, couldn't help but say, "The bodyguards seem to have noticed something amiss; they just had a confrontation with your bodyguards, Mr. Xie."

Xie Yuheng's expression was chillingly cold.

"Please go back first."

The group left. Even the antique shop owner quietly went into the inner room to avoid them.

Xie Yuheng's gaze was fixed on Jiang Manman.

To be with Yan Changye would be a smooth and perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Following him would mean a life of constant wandering and anxiety.

What was the point of him going to such lengths to snatch her away? Was it to make her suffer?

“Li Ke.” Xie Yuheng’s voice was slightly hoarse and deep. “Go to the Feng Shui Association and find more capable fortune tellers. I don’t believe that she and I are really destined for this.”

Li Ke left with a complicated expression.

Only the two of them remained inside.

Xie Yuheng leaned closer to Jiang Manman, her soft breath tickling his face like feathers. He leaned forward slightly, as if to kiss her, but restrained himself when their lips were less than a millimeter apart.

Then, he stepped back to a safe distance, closed his eyes tightly, picked up his phone, and elegantly dialed a number:
"Come to Taikoo Street and pick up your wife."

Yan Changye arrived half an hour later.

His face was dark, and he was extremely upset.

When he arrived, Jiang Manman was still asleep. Xie Yuheng was sitting on the sofa a few meters away, looking at some documents.

"You arrived quite quickly." Xie Yuheng glanced at him, and whether it was his imagination or not, Yan Changye keenly sensed that Xie Yuheng was very depressed and dejected at this moment.

"How could I not hurry? The lady has already entered a den of wolves, and my bodyguards are still fighting with your men." Yan Changye sneered, "I didn't expect you to call me on your own initiative."

When Xie Yuheng made the call, Yan Changye was already on his way. The moment he received the bodyguard's report, Yan Changye was truly furious. Now, seeing Jiang Manman unharmed, that nameless anger in his heart had not subsided in the slightest.
"How did she fall asleep?"

"I was chatting with the antique shop owner and fell asleep while we were talking. I looked quite tired," Xie Yuheng explained casually.

Yan Changye was silent for a moment. They would be separated for several days. He had indeed been a bit outrageous last night, pestering her to pay for the benefits for the next few days in advance. Who knew that she would still be able to wander around Taikoo Street despite being exhausted?

"How did you end up here?" Yan Changye's scrutinizing gaze fell on Xie Yuheng.

Xie Yuheng tossed the documents in his hand over: "The commercial building project is about to start. I'll have a feng shui master assess the auspiciousness and choose an auspicious day for construction."

Yan Changye glanced at the document, unsure whether he had received a letter or not.

He slowly uttered an "oh," and said, "Speaking of documents, I have a few treasonous documents here. You can take a look."
