Marriage Seduction Addiction

Upon hearing this question, Gao Yan's gaze sharpened, and he was momentarily speechless.

Duan Siwei's visit to Helsinki was unexpected.

Therefore, Duan Siwei's discovery of Yan Shiyu's condition was also unexpected.

Knowing something is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is quite another.

Duan Siwei had probably known all along what Yan Shiyu had been through, but now he had actually seen it with his own eyes.

Even he, an observer, was so deeply affected.

Yan Shiyu, the person who experienced it all, probably only knows what he went through.

Duan Siwei drank another glass of wine.

He spoke again, still asking, "All these years, have you just watched like this? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Gao Yan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "What can you do if you're powerless to change something, no matter how painful it is?"

One sentence silenced Duan Siwei.

The two sat in the bar until closing time.

Duan Siwei drank a lot of alcohol, but his mind remained clear.

Stepping out of the bar and standing on the quiet street, feeling the cool breeze, Duan Siwei felt a sudden, intense dislike for the first time.

Even though it was his first time visiting this place.

But it really makes you feel cold.

Gao Yan had been cooped up in the bar all night and seemed to be getting restless, so he walked over to a trash can by the roadside and lit a cigarette for himself.

Duan Siwei stepped forward and handed him one as well.

"How much longer?" Duan Siwei asked.

“Today is the fifth day,” Gao Yan said. “It’s almost over. Mr. Yan is expected to return to China in two days, so we will stop today no matter what.”

"He anticipated?" Duan Siwei asked. "He can control the time himself?"

“Originally, it wouldn’t have been possible,” Gao Yan said. “However, there have been many things going on at the Yan family recently, and he can’t be away for too long. So he used this as an excuse to ask the old man for time. We’ll deal with the rest later.”

Duan Siwei found it utterly absurd, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"That's fucking outrageous." He turned to look into the distance. "I have to be his grandson, manage the Yan family business for him, and be punished by him all the time. If the punishment isn't long enough, I can just let it accumulate..."

Gao Yan lowered his eyes, his expression calm and serene.

After finishing his cigarette, Duan Siwei asked again, "In his condition, can he recover and return to the country in two days?"

“Mr. Yan has his own way of coping,” Gao Yan said. “Since he has made plans, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Duan Siwei stubbed out his cigarette. "Let's go back and see him."

“I won’t be able to see him,” Gao Yan said.

Duan Siwei turned around in surprise.

Gao Yan said, "This is the way he'll handle things. After it's over, he'll lock himself up and won't see anyone. So, Mr. Duan, even if you stay here, you won't see him for the next couple of days."

After a long silence, Duan Siwei finally nodded. "Okay, then I'll go back first."

Early the next morning local time, Duan Siwei boarded a plane returning to Helsinki and left.

It was late at night when Duan Siwei returned to Huai City. He immediately went to the city's busiest nightclub area and made a phone call, summoning a bunch of people to keep him company.

It stands in stark contrast to the cool and austere atmosphere of Helsinki.

The wine here seems to taste much better than over there; at least Duan Siwei managed to get himself drunk.

He vomited before even leaving the nightclub, and his legs slipped slightly as he was helped away.

As he left the nightclub, his companions asked him where his car was. Duan Siwei, in a daze, pointed around the street, but his gaze suddenly locked onto a somewhat familiar face.

He felt as if he saw Tang Xu.

At that moment, Tang Xu was indeed standing on the side of the road diagonally opposite him, making a phone call next to his car.

She was supposed to go home early tonight, but she received a call from a roommate from college, inviting her to get together.

Tang Xu almost never participated in such gatherings after marrying into the Jiang family.

She could have easily declined today, but she felt that her life had been too monotonous for too long, and perhaps it was time to try to return to normal.

So Tang Xu came.

The gathering took place at a nearby bar. The people there were all alumni, and they talked about old times from school, so it was quite pleasant.

When Tang Xu was leaving, he discovered that someone had deflated his tires, so he had to call for roadside assistance.

After she finished her call, she turned around and was startled to see a swaying figure in front of her.

When Tang Xu recognized the man as Duan Siwei, she patted her chest in relief. "Mr. Duan, what a coincidence?"

Duan Siwei, who had drunk too much, was swaying slightly as he looked at her and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I just finished a gathering with friends." Tang Xu realized he had drunk too much. "Wasn't Mr. Duan the same?"

Duan Siwei nodded and murmured, "Yes, yes, I just finished a gathering with friends..."

After muttering to himself, he suddenly asked out of the blue, "Did you call me? Did you need my help with something?"

Tang Xu was taken aback, then nodded. "That was true, but the matter has been resolved."

"So easily solved? It seems Miss Tang is quite capable..." He said, then suddenly nodded, answering himself, "Of course, Miss Tang is very capable, otherwise she wouldn't have such great abilities..."

Perhaps because he had drunk too much, he didn't realize that he was going in circles.

Tang Xu looked around, and thankfully no one was nearby, so he didn't say anything he shouldn't have.

"Mr. Duan, is there no one to take you home?" Tang Xu asked. "Should I make a phone call for you?"

However, the next moment, Duan Siwei suddenly grabbed her hand, looked at Tang Xu, and said, "You are indeed very capable. You can help him. You really can help him..."

Tang Xu was startled by his actions, but did not react too strongly. She could only follow up with, "Mr. Duan, who do you think I can help?"

“Yan Shiyu”.

Upon hearing his name, Tang Xu was slightly startled and took a step back, trying to break free from his hand. "Mr. Duan, you've had too much to drink."

"I'm not drunk." Duan Siwei suddenly pulled her back to him. "I'm perfectly sober—"

"Duan Siwei!" Tang Xu gritted her teeth and called his name in a low voice, "You really need to be more sensible, don't go crazy!"

Duan Siwei suddenly laughed, "What, you won't agree?"

You can't reason with a drunk person. Tang Xu was at her wit's end. She took a deep breath and said, "Then tell me, how can I help him?" (End of Chapter)
