Chapter 119 The Doorbell Rings in the Middle of the Night
After the question and answer, Song Yuqiao stood frozen for a moment, but couldn't find anything else to say to her.

Finally, Tang Xu slightly turned her body aside, making room for her.

Song Yuqiao immediately walked past her and headed straight for the kitchen.

Tang Xu closed the door behind her and went back to bed.

The enclosed bedroom creates a very safe space with a comfortable temperature, warm lighting, and soft music.

Tang Xu picked up the documents she hadn't finished organizing before, her gaze falling on the densely packed small characters, and she couldn't help but drift into a daze.

These days, she has completely gotten used to this environment.

Once you get used to something, some things seem less special.

Until Song Yuqiao mentioned it just now.

Tang Xu leaned against the headboard, listening to every note flowing from the stereo, and inevitably thought of the "friend" who had arranged all of this.

They haven't been in contact for half a month.

It may not seem like a long time, but compared to how often they used to meet, it's actually quite a long time.

But their relationship was not like that of ordinary people.

In ordinary male-female relationships, even if they cannot meet at home, there are plenty of other places to date and meet.

There seems to be no need or necessity for this between them.

That's not possible either.

In the future, this period of no contact may continue for even longer.

It might not be so bad if we can get used to it sooner.

……

The next afternoon, Tang Xu arranged to meet with Wen Qingyu, Jiang's cousin-in-law.

Wen Qingyu has overseas study experience, and Tang Xu plans to learn from her.

Wen Qingyu arrived late, looking hurried, but with a sweet smile.

"I'm sorry, I had lunch with my husband, so it was a bit late."

Tang Xu looked at her and couldn't help but laugh, "You were on a date with Xingzhou at noon, were you that sweet?"

"Don't even mention it. He's been incredibly busy lately, leaving early and coming home late. I hardly ever see him. He finally managed to squeeze in a lunch break to have with me, but he spent several tens of minutes on the phone during that time. Who can tolerate that?"

"So busy?" Tang Xu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xingzhou's career is doing quite well lately."

Wen Qingyu took a sip of coffee before saying, "They say that Jiang's Group has recently signed several major projects, and several of them have won against Yan's Group. You know how strong Yan's Group's momentum has been since Yan Shiyu came back. These victories have given Jiang's Group's shareholders confidence, and everyone is eager to make a big splash."

Tang Xu's brow twitched slightly. "Aren't the Jiang family and the Yan family always on friendly terms and never compete with each other in these areas?"

“That’s just old-fashioned people being nostalgic,” Wen Qingyu said. “Right now, Mu Chen is in charge. Do you think he’s someone who values ​​family ties? He doesn’t even respect his uncle, let alone the Yan family. As for the Yan family member, although he’s a relative, he’s lived abroad since he was a child. Does he even know any of these relatives? I’m afraid he cares even less.”

Tang Xu paused for a moment before smiling faintly, "It seems that Brother Xingzhou still has a lot to do. You'll just have to be patient."

After chatting with Wen Qingyu for an afternoon, Tang Xu drove directly to an apartment building after they parted ways.

She waited while looking at the documents, and nearly two hours later, Tang Xu finally met Cheng Jin, who had returned from get off work.

When Cheng Jin saw her, he was slightly surprised. "Miss Tang, what are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for you," Tang Xu replied.

Cheng Jin paused for a moment, then quickly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Tang Xu cut to the chase, "I heard that the Jiang family recently snatched several projects from the Yan family, is that true?"

“It’s true,” Cheng Jin replied.

"Was it orchestrated by Jiang Muchen?"

"No."

Tang Xu turned to look at him, her emotions clearly visible in her eyes.

Cheng Jin said, "These projects were all spearheaded by other senior executives in the company. Mr. Jiang was the one who made the final decision, but in general, he didn't handle these projects. So, it's not that he's targeting the Yan family." Tang Xu was momentarily stunned.

It wasn't Jiang Muchen's deliberate act, but how come other high-ranking members of the Jiang family were able to easily snatch projects from the Yan family?

What has Yan Shiyu been troubled by recently that caused this mistake?

Cheng Jin added, "Actually, Mr. Yan should already know about these things. You can just ask him."

Tang Xu did not answer. After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he was silent for a moment before asking, "Did something happen between you and Mr. Yan?"

Tang Xu was pondering the question and didn't hear clearly for a moment, "What?"

Cheng Jin paused again before saying, "Last night, I saw Mr. Yan having dinner with Fang Miaomiao at the club..."

Fang Miaomiao is a popular actress who rose to fame for her beauty and is a highly sought-after figure.

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then turned to look at him. "You probably have some misunderstanding about my relationship with Mr. Yan. I have my own life, and so does Mr. Yan."

"Sorry," Cheng Jin said quickly, "I talked too much."

"I should be thanking you," Tang Xu said. "Thank you for being willing to answer my question."

Cheng Jin slowly said, "I have followed Mr. Song for many years. Within my capabilities, I will definitely help if I can."

"Thank you. Go home and get some rest."

Cheng Jin nodded, got out of the car, and walked into the apartment.

Tang Xu then restarted the car, turned it around, and drove away.

Back home, Song Yuqiao was sitting on the floor, leaning on the coffee table in the living room, watching videos and eating takeout.

This was a scene Tang Xu had never witnessed in all these days.

After all, in the past, Song Yuqiao would hide back in her room whenever she heard her door open.

I probably didn't have time today.

The two exchanged a glance, and Tang Xu finally spoke first: "Eating so late?"

"I was just hungry," Song Yuqiao replied.

Tang Xu didn't ask any more questions and went back to her room to change her clothes.

When she came out after changing her clothes, Song Yuqiao had already packed up the takeout containers and gone downstairs to throw out the trash.

Only the tablet she used to play videos remained on the coffee table.

Just as Tang Xu came out, the video switched to the next one.

"A reporter photographed Fang Miaomiao having dinner with a mysterious man last night. Is their relationship about to be exposed? Currently, only the man's back was visible in the photos, so his identity cannot be confirmed. However, his low-key and secretive behavior suggests he is not an ordinary person..."

Tang Xu stood still, quietly watching the video, her gaze fixed on the mysterious man's back.

For her, that figure was not mysterious; on the contrary, she was very familiar with it.

Tang Xu stood still for a moment, then quickly looked away and turned to walk into the bathroom.

In the dead of night, Tang Xu sat on the bed as usual, playing music while studying the documents in his hands.

Her efficiency was inexplicably low tonight; as the clock struck midnight, she had only turned two pages of the documents in her hand.

Tang Xu was staring blankly at the clock when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring outside.

Tang Xu thought she was hallucinating.

She turned off the stereo by her bedside, but the doorbell rang even more clearly.

Tang Xuxin suddenly jumped for a moment, quickly got out of bed, opened the door and glanced at Song Yuqiao's tightly closed bedroom door before hurriedly walking towards the front door.

However, before she could reach out to open the door, it opened from the outside.

Tang Xu's mind was in a mess. Before she could retract her outstretched hand, she was pulled into the arms of the person outside the door.

At the same time, a forceful yet passionate kiss landed heavily on his lips.
