Chapter 240: Half a catty
Chang'an Club is Yan Changye's territory. He is an extremely picky person with a strong aversion to dirt, so much so that this famous club in the capital city is the most respectable among all the entertainment venues that are full of debauchery.

Not only is it serious, but it also has extremely high entry requirements, making it difficult for anyone but the wealthy to enter.

The matter Chen Jinzhou wanted to discuss with Yan Changye was somewhat sensitive and not suitable for too many people to hear. He only invited a few of the most discreet young men from wealthy families to the gathering, and by the time Yan Changye arrived, Chen Jinzhou had already drunk several glasses of wine in silence.

Yan Changye entered VIP room number 1, pushed aside the group of young men who came to exchange pleasantries with him, and impatiently urged Chen Jinzhou: "Get to the point."

Chen Jinzhou paused for a moment: "Just, let's chat for a bit. I met a girl recently, she looks innocent and lovely, but she's really bad at heart. She almost ruined me under the guise of pure love..."

He spoke offhand, yet with a hint hidden within, as if afraid Yan Changye wouldn't understand, and silently gave the others a look.

Young Master Li let out a "oh" and played along: "I've encountered that too. Actually, with our status and position, people have a lot of ideas about us. There's a club in the capital that specializes in training socialites. They've figured out all the preferences of us scions of wealthy families, and then they tailor-make beauties for us. After we graduate, they try every means to bump into us. Their methods are extremely clever. Even seasoned players like us can easily fall into their trap and think we've found true love."

Young Master Zhu clicked his tongue several times: "When it comes to understanding women's tactics, I'm the only one who can tell you. Let me tell you guys about some high-end fishing tricks that women often use..."

Yan Changye's peach blossom eyes swept over the group of people, as if he had realized something, but he remained silent.

The young masters took turns recounting every possible trap set by beautiful women, and seeing Yan Changye's enigmatic smile, Chen Jinzhou coughed lightly and continued the conversation:

"Even if it's not a trap, so what if it's true love? These days, true love can't withstand the harsh realities of life. How many men have ruined their families and lives for a stray flower..."

Yan Changye's phone rang.

Chen Jinzhou, with his sharp eyes, noticed three extremely ambiguous nicknames on his call screen: Baby.

Yan Changye got up and walked to the corridor, giving everyone a quiet look.

Seeing Yan Changye's expression, Chen Jinzhou knew that all his previous work had been in vain.

His gaze shifted complicatedly from Yan Changye's phone screen, then fell on Yan Changye's fingers. His fingers, with their distinct knuckles, were always adorned with rings, but now they were gone, leaving only a bare ring mark on his ring finger. The sight made Chen Jinzhou's heart sink even further.

Chen Jinzhou's gaze continued to move subtly, and soon he found a half-hidden, yet deliberately flaunted, kiss mark on Yan Changye's lapel. The bright color of the lipstick suggested it was a gift from a very young and beautiful woman.

Undeterred, Chen Jinzhou continued his gaze downwards...

"What are you looking at? Are you sick?" Yan Changye's cool voice came.

Chen Jinzhou immediately looked away.

Just then, Yan Changye answered his darling's call.

Chen Jinzhou couldn't hear what was said on the other end, but Yan Changye suddenly became very gentle, suppressing his arrogance.

"I won't be there that fast, I'll be half an hour late." Yan Changye reported his itinerary in a gentle voice. "If you get bored while waiting, buy me some clothes nearby. The one I'm wearing got wrinkled when I was playing with you at noon, so it won't look good in the couple's photo album later."

Chen Jinzhou: ...You've been taking it all to the office to mess around? And even using those couple photo albums that young couples like? You bastard!

What else did they say over there?

Then Yan Changye complained in a low voice, "After taking couple photos, we still have to go choose a bed together. The bed in your apartment is really bad quality; it broke after only one use."

Chen Jinzhou: Okay, okay, now you're not hiding anything from people at all, right? Yan Changye continued talking about other things on the phone: "Why are you bringing up your son? Don't answer his calls. Isn't it nice for us to just stay home and enjoy our quiet life..."

After talking about their son, the topic shifted to family: "Okay, baby, haven't I told you before? Right now, you've won me over, and we're deeply in love, so I'm not going to admit I have a wife and kids..."

Chen Jinzhou's temples throbbed violently twice!

He doesn't even recognize his wife and children; how deep must his love be?
Just a short while ago, this scoundrel was showing off his love on social media and clearly stated that he would never be alone with another woman in a room again. How long has it been?
After Yan Changye finally hung up the phone, still seemingly unsatisfied, Chen Jinzhou took a deep breath, stopped Yan Changye, and cut to the chase:
"Brother Yan, you can't just think about your own pleasure; you have to consider my sister's feelings too."

Yan Changye stared at him intently for a while, then said, "Oh, she enjoyed it too."

Chen Jinzhou: "!!!"

Yan Changye glanced at him again: "Talking about those random topics is what you call important? Don't bother me lately, I don't have time to hang out with your bunch of cronies."

After saying that, he casually made a joke: "I have a girlfriend, but your sister has a boyfriend too. We're in the same boat. If you don't believe me, call and ask."

Chen Jinzhou: "..."

Coffee shops on the commercial street.

While waiting for Yan Changye, Jiang Manman received a call from Chen Jinzhou.

There was silence on the other end for a while, until Jiang Manman couldn't take it anymore and wanted to hang up, then Chen Jinzhou hesitantly said:
"Sis, you have a boyfriend?"

Jiang Manman hummed in agreement: "You know? Yan Changye told you?"

"This...this is such a big deal..."

Jiang Manman didn't think having a romantic relationship with Yan Changye was a big deal: "It's just a little fun, not worth your attention."

Chen Jinzhou silently hung up the phone.

Jiang Manman paid no attention to how utterly devastated Chen Jinzhou was. She finished her coffee, and then Yan Changye came into view.

Jiang Manman pushed the coffee she had ordered for him in front of him: "What was wrong with you just now? I called you to tell you that our son's teacher called to ask for a home visit, and you didn't answer properly. You even admitted that you have a wife and children..."

Yan Changye chuckled nonchalantly: "520 hours has only been a short time. It's an immersive romance, baby, don't keep stepping out of character."

Jiang Manman glared at him: "Enough nonsense. The teacher is coming to visit your home this weekend. She couldn't get through to you by phone, and she didn't reply to your WeChat messages, so she called me instead."

Yan Changye hummed in agreement: "There were a few calls from unknown numbers, but I was too lazy to answer them. I also haven't been checking my WeChat messages. I get tagged by the teacher a lot, which is a bit annoying, so I've set up group messages to 'Do Not Disturb'."

After saying that, she responded to the home visit issue: "If she wants to visit, let her visit the old man's house."

Jiang Manman thought for a moment: "I still want to keep an eye on my son's performance at school. Besides, Dad is getting old and spoils the child. His villa area is heavily guarded and quite sensitive. I'll send the address of No. 1 Mansion to the teacher this weekend."

Yan Changye completely obeyed Jiang Manman: "I'll listen to you, baby."
