Chapter 237 I Want to Fall in Love
He didn't walk with the dashing stride typical of male models; he walked casually, but the moment he appeared, he captivated everyone's attention.

When those stunning features were revealed under the lights, the audience erupted in a frenzy, with countless intense gazes filling the venue with restlessness.

Waves of frenzied exclamations rose and fell.

The man lazily took the microphone from the host, his voice so sexy it was mesmerizing:
"I am the spokesperson for Muchan. Who was it that questioned the photoshopping? Come up and let's talk."

As for whether the photos were photoshopped, there were no doubts from the moment Yan Changye appeared.

The event organizers appeared in a corner, looking at the scene that had been marred by that man's appearance, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The founder of Mu Chan must have extraordinary abilities to be able to get the chairman of the Yan Group to endorse the company."

"I'd heard of this tycoon's ruthless reputation in the international financial world, but I never imagined he'd have such a refined face, even more exquisite than a Hollywood star..."

Jiang Manman had already stood up.

Her position was far from the runway, and the lighting was not bright.

But the moment she stood up, the radiant man on the catwalk seemed to sense something, raising his beautiful, almond-shaped eyes to look in her direction, and smiling slightly across the crowd:
"Congratulations, Madam, on Mu Chan stepping onto the international stage!"

A tender, lingering "Madam" escaped his throat.

It also carries a sense of asserting sovereignty.

Jiang Manman's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Yanjing Group's businesses span the globe, but Yan Changye himself has always maintained a low profile, with almost no photos of him surfacing, and few people recognized him at the scene.

When Yan Changye called out "Madam," the response was far more positive than the uproar in the capital's socialite circles; instead, it was met with applause and blessings at this convention center far from the capital.

Yan Changye reached out his hand to Jiang Manman.

Jiang Manman hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and finally stepped onto the catwalk, standing in front of Yan Changye.

Yan Changye gentlemanly put his arm around her waist, placed the bouquet of roses in Jiang Manman's palm, and spoke in a voice only Jiang Manman could hear:
"The street scenes in Milan are quite nice, madam. Shall we go together?"

Before Jiang Manman could speak, he had already pulled her into his arms and strode away in front of everyone.

Milan's night view is indeed very nice.

But compared to the night view, Jiang Manman was completely attracted to the man beside her.

The two walked side by side, Yan Changye habitually putting his arm around her waist, strolling along Milan's famous Via Montenapoleone. Luxury shop windows surrounded them, but Jiang Manman paid no attention; her focus was entirely on Yan Changye.

"Why are you here?"

"Thinking of you, Madam, I have come."

"Won't this interfere with your work? Didn't Shen Zongqian say that the shareholders' meeting was very important?"

Yan Changye said "Oh": "I attended the most important part. As for the unimportant parts, just leave them to Xie Yuheng."

Jiang Manman's heart softened. Her gaze fell on the bouquet of roses in her arms. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it wasn't just colored diamonds, but a set of jewelry inlaid with colored diamonds, which was much more valuable than loose diamonds.

"I didn't expect you to come," Jiang Manman said softly, "but it's a pleasant surprise."

Yan Changye picked up the roses from her arms and tossed them to Shen Zongqian, who was standing nearby. Then, he affectionately pulled her into his embrace, his voice filled with a smile:

"Since you're so pleasantly surprised, would you like to show your appreciation, Madam?"

Jiang Manman asked with curiosity, "What kind of gesture do you want?"

Yan Changye did not answer immediately.

His gaze fell on the street.

People come and go. Most are in pairs.

Jiang Manman followed his gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Does Madam still remember the pile of compensation clauses you signed that night in room 1001 of the Imperial Capital Hotel?" Yan Changye chuckled. "You'll be free for a while now, Madam. I want to honor the second clause."

Jiang Manman: "..."

The first clause of the compensation agreement states: marriage, granting official status.

It has been fulfilled.

Article 2 of the compensation clause: Make up for a relationship, with a time limit of 520 hours.

"Madam," Yan Changye leaned closer to her and whispered in a sexy voice, "I want to fall in love."

This esteemed young master from the Beijing elite circle has had a smooth and successful life, except in matters of the heart. He rushed into marriage and then rushed into fatherhood, never experiencing the sweet and sour taste of romance.

There will always be a little bit of regret.

Jiang Manman gazed at him quietly for a while, then tiptoed and planted a kiss on the corner of his lips:
"I'll make it up to you."

"I want an immersive relationship." Yan Changye had many requirements. "Don't treat me like your husband or your son's father, but purely as your boyfriend, preferably someone you just got together with, someone who's still fresh in your life."

Jiang Manman: "..."

It seems that playing the dual roles of Xie Yunxi and Yan Changye is no longer enough for him.

Good dog.

Beside him, Shen Zongqian carefully removed the expensive colored diamond jewelry from the bouquet one by one and placed them in a brocade box. Listening to his boss's somewhat absurd romantic demands, he sighed inwardly.

It has to be your own boss who knows how to play.

imperial capital.

The senior management of Yanjing Group have recently had a vague feeling that something is not right.

The chairman's office seemed to have been stirred up by a frivolous atmosphere.

Those in the chairman's secretariat felt this change most directly.

For example, the BOSS, who is so pampered that he only uses the top-quality special-supply coffee beans and tea, suddenly started drinking coffee and milk tea that costs 16 yuan a cup on the market, and he even watched as Shen Zongqian personally brought it up from a certain food delivery platform.

"Boss." Shen Zongqian's mood was complicated as he delivered the takeout. "This is the first milk tea of ​​autumn that Madam ordered for you."

"What wife? Where did this wife come from?" Yan Changye slowly took the milk tea, glanced at him, and said, "Remember this, I don't have a wife these days, I only have a girlfriend who is in the honeymoon phase."

Shen Zongqian: "...Your girlfriend asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that you and she are only in a romantic relationship, and it's not appropriate for her to go back to the marital home in No. 1 Mansion. She has already cleaned up her small apartment that has been vacant for many years and invited you to build a love nest with her."

Yan Changye held the milk tea, tentatively took a sip, and the inferior ingredients made him pause for several minutes before he spoke:
"Go to No. 1 Mansion and pack me some clothes—never mind, I'll have my girlfriend take me shopping."

Shen Zongqian: "Okay."

"I don't have much experience in dating. You should go and collect some information and see what other people give and do when they're dating."

Shen Zongqian, who frequently watches videos online, can now answer this question:
"It depends on whether it's a 'poor man' or a 'rich man' conversation. If it's a 'poor man' conversation,' you'll send flowers, chocolates, lipsticks, and skincare products, and invite them to barbecues, movies, and carousels. If it's a 'rich man' conversation, you'll at least send cars, houses, and jewelry, and invite them to round-the-world trips and concerts."

Yan Changye thought for a moment: "Then which category do you think we fall into?"

Shen Zongqian's gaze fell on the milk tea in his hand, and he paused for several seconds: "Let's talk nonsense."
