Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 134 Embracing Him Immediately

After hearing Tang Xu's words, Jiang Beiheng did not say another word.

The two remained silent the entire way until they arrived at Yujing Bay. As Tang Xu was about to get out of the car, she turned to him and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Jiang Beiheng forced a smile and said to her, "Go back and get some rest. Don't think about anything else."

Tang Xu nodded slowly, turned around and walked into the residential area.

After entering the apartment building, Tang Xu chose the elevator that was going down.

Once down in the underground parking lot, Tang Xu got into his car and drove away from Royal Bay.

Arriving at Qiushuitai, they entered the empty house; Yan Shiyu was nowhere to be seen.

She knew that on a day like today, Yan Shiyu would definitely not return too early, so her rushing over was in vain.

But she just wanted to come sooner, even if she couldn't see him right away, she hoped to see him as soon as he returned.

The birthday banquet ended around 10 p.m. Afterwards, Yan Shiyu personally escorted Old Master Yan home.

Gao Yan waited outside the Yan family mansion, looking at the nearly century-old mansion with worry in his eyes. As time passed by, he remained uneasy.

It wasn't until after 1 a.m. that Yan Shiyu finally appeared.

Gao Yan immediately got out of the car and went to greet Yan Shiyu, who had just stepped out. "Are you alright?"

Yan Shiyu shook his head and walked straight toward the car.

Gao Yan quickly followed, opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away from the old house.

The streets were quiet in the dead of night, and Gao Yan unconsciously pressed the accelerator very low.

At the next intersection, with the green light about to turn red, Gao Yan hesitated for a moment, about to accelerate and rush across, when he suddenly heard Yan Shiyu's calm voice from behind—

"Are you crazy?"

Gao Yan suddenly came to his senses and slammed on the brakes to stop the car.

At the same time, a car stopped alongside them at the intersection.

"I—" Gao Yan was about to explain something when he saw someone get out of the car.

Immediately afterwards, the man opened their car door and climbed into the back seat.

The words Gao Yan hadn't said were stuck in his throat, and he instead called out, "Mr. Duan."

Compared to Yan Shiyu, Duan Siwei's expression was very unpleasant. He didn't respond to him, but turned to Yan Shiyu and said, "Are you crazy? Why did you have to do this today of all days? Don't you know what kind of person your grandfather is?"

He bombarded Yan Shiyu with questions, but Yan Shiyu remained remarkably calm.

"They specially chose such an auspicious day for me, so I don't need to refuse their kindness," Yan Shiyu said calmly.

Duan Siwei gritted his teeth before asking again, "Then what do you mean by hiding this from me and putting on such a big show all by yourself? Are you afraid that if I find out, you'll stop me, or are you afraid that I'll cause you trouble?"

Yan Shiyu glanced at him and said, "Then tell me, what would you have done if you had known in advance?"

Duan Siwei swallowed a curse, and after a long while, he finally spoke again: "Of course I will stop you! Or rather, it doesn't matter what happens to Lei Peng, but he can't spread the news so soon because Jiang Muchen was arrested. You're too impatient, you know that?"

"Are you in a hurry?" Yan Shiyu asked, her eyes still lowered.

"You're in a real hurry!" Duan Siwei said. "This means you've completely broken ties with the Jiang family, leaving no room for reconciliation. From now on, you're enemies in everyone's eyes!"

"Yes," Yan Shiyu said slowly, "Haven't we waited so long for this day?"

"Is it because we've waited so long, that a little longer is enough?" Duan Siwei said, "Even if we waited a few more months, and planned things more carefully, things would have turned out much better than they are now—"

Yan Shiyu replied, "But I don't want to wait any longer."

His tone was extremely calm, without the slightest fluctuation, simply stating a fact. Duan Siwei didn't know how to respond.

Gao Yan remained silent as he drove, not uttering a single word.

The car drove quite a distance before Duan Siwei finally spoke again: "So, what is Old Master Yan's attitude towards tonight's events?"

Yan Shiyu then slowly turned her head to look at him.

“I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?” Yan Shiyu said.

Duan Siwei stared at him for a long time before turning his gaze to the outside of the car window, and said no more.

The car stopped at the red light again at the next intersection.

Duan Siwei then pushed open the door and got out of the car. He waited for the cars behind him to come up, opened the door and got in. Without even waiting for the red light, he turned right and left.

Gao Yan watched the car drive away, paused, and finally couldn't help but whisper, "Mr. Duan seems very angry."

After a long while, Yan Shiyu finally responded softly, "Mm."

"He was doing it for the good of the whole thing..."

“I know,” Yan Shiyu said. “As a third-person perspective, he has a good overall view.”

As an observer, one can see the whole picture and assess the situation.

As for those directly involved, what they have more of is firsthand experience.

Some things are neither right nor wrong, just different perspectives.

Gao Yan listened and said nothing more.

Around 2 a.m., Yan Shiyu finally returned to Qiushuitai.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a figure was standing in front of me.

Immediately afterwards, a figure came forward and gave him a tight hug.

Yan Shiyu took a moment to recover his senses. After a while, he reached out and stroked the back of her head, whispering, "You've been standing here waiting for me?"

"No." Tang Xu leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "I was watching the security camera footage inside the house. I only came out after I saw you come back."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu lifted her face and gazed at her intently.

Three or four hours had passed since the banquet ended, but she was still wearing the same dress from the banquet and hadn't removed her makeup, waiting in that state for a long time.

It's clear that she knew something.

"Why don't you take a shower and change your clothes first?" Yan Shiyu asked.

Tang Xu paused, then slowly said, "I came in such a hurry that I didn't bring anything with me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu chuckled softly, took her hand, and led her into the house, saying, "I'll lend it to you."

Tang Xu obediently let him lead her, watching his back all the way until they entered the bedroom.

In the relatively cramped space, her heart finally seemed to settle down little by little.

Sitting on the shoe bench in the dressing room, Tang Xu watched Yan Shiyu take a white cotton T-shirt out of the closet and then turn back to her.

"Wear this?" Yan Shiyu asked.

Tang Xu didn't look at the clothes; her gaze remained fixed on his face.

As Yan Shiyu leaned down to continue asking for her opinion, she reached out and hugged him once again.

"Was tonight's situation very dangerous?" she asked.
