Marriage Seduction Addiction

Upon hearing Yan Shiyu's question, Gao Yan quickly replied, "Miss Tang is fine, she's just not in a good mood, probably because of work and her younger siblings. You don't need to worry too much."

After Gao Yan finished answering, he cautiously raised his eyes to meet Yan Shiyu's gaze.

Yan Shiyu stared intently at him.

His eyes were a chilling crimson.

At this moment, anyone else would probably be so frightened by his appearance that they would run away in panic.

Gao Yan was no stranger.

Just like the question Tang Xu asked him.

Perhaps no one in this world can truly understand Yan Shiyu.

But if you had to pick the person who understands Yan Shiyu best, it would probably be him.

No matter how frightening Yan Shiyu's behavior was, he couldn't escape.

"Are you sure?" Yan Shiyu asked.

As soon as this question came up, Gao Yan knew that he couldn't hide it from anyone.

He certainly understood Yan Shiyu, but he was unaware of Yan Shiyu's understanding of Tang Xu.

Yan Shiyu knew Tang Xu better than he did what kind of person he was, what he would say, and what he would do.

Therefore, Yan Shiyu was able to see through his clumsy lies, which he had concocted in an attempt to reassure her.

Gao Yan felt a little guilty.

But he had to bite the bullet and answer, "She wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital to get some medicine. Maybe that's why she was a bit impulsive and irritable... I followed her all the way back to Yujing Bay before coming back, so don't worry."

Yan Shiyu slowly closed her eyes, but her heavy breathing still could not be calmed.

He knew that Gao Yan's answer this time was true.

But something still felt off.

It's not right.

His mind was in a daze, and he was no longer able to think about anything in detail.

When he opened his eyes again, Gao Yan had already injected a brand new syringe into his body.

Yan Shiyu watched as the syringe was slowly pushed in, feeling no pain whatsoever.

Gao Yan finished the injection as quickly as possible before speaking in a low voice: "In any case, you can only see Miss Tang after you have recovered and can move normally. So, don't think too much about it and get some more sleep."

When Yan Shiyu woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

Gao Yan was on the phone near the entrance.

"...He should wake up soon. Based on past experience, he'll feel much better after today, and should be back to normal by tomorrow—"

As he was speaking, he turned his head and saw Yan Shiyu, who had just opened his eyes. He quickly hung up the phone and walked over. "Mr. Yan, you're awake?"

"Who is it?" Yan Shiyu's voice was still somewhat hoarse as he asked him only two words.

“It’s Mr. Duan,” Gao Yan said hurriedly. “He’s concerned about your condition.”

Yan Shiyu closed her eyes again, remained still for a moment, and then opened them again, reaching out her hand to him.

This means they want a mobile phone.

Having no other choice, Gao Yan handed him his phone.

Yan Shiyu quickly found Tang Xu's phone number and dialed it.

At the same time, Tang Xu was sitting at his desk, staring blankly at his computer.

When her phone rang, the first thing she saw was the caller ID.

But she stared at the name displayed on the screen without moving.

An employee passing by the door heard the noise and stood at the door to remind her, "Ms. Tang, your phone is ringing."

Tang Xu did not respond.

It was as if he neither heard the phone ring nor his reminder. Seeing this, the man said nothing more and quickly left.

Tang Xu remained motionless until the call ended on its own.

Tang Xu fell into a new round of blank staring.

She stayed in the office until it was completely dark.

When she left, the city traffic was no longer congested, and she returned to Yujing Bay without any problems.

I had just parked my car when I looked up and saw a familiar car parked across the street.

At that moment, Tang Xu felt no emotion whatsoever.

She sat quietly in the car for a long time, staring at it for a long time, before finally pushing open the door and getting out.

As she moved, people soon got out of the car as well.

It is Gao Yan.

He walked straight up to her and said in a low voice, "Miss Tang, you haven't been answering your phone, and Mr. Yan is very worried about you. Are you alright?"

Tang Xu did not answer his question. She lowered her eyes slightly, chuckled, and said, "If I had answered the phone, I'm afraid I still wouldn't have been able to see Mr. Yan by now."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan was taken aback.

Is she refusing to answer the phone to force Yan Shiyu to appear?

In that instant, Gao Yan couldn't quite describe his feelings. He glanced at her with a hint of shock, then turned and walked deeper into the parking lot, avoiding her with a heavy heart.

Tang Xu then stepped forward and, with a series of familiar movements, opened the car door and got into the car.

The car lights were off.

Through the dark window film, the lighting in the parking lot was far from sufficient to illuminate the interior of the car.

Yan Shiyu sat in the back row, and Tang Xu was only visible, a dark shadow.

She didn't mind.

Even when the lights were bright, she had never truly seen this person clearly. So what difference would it make if the lights were a little dimmer now?
Tang Xu sat down and remained quiet for a moment before speaking softly, "Mr. Yan, are you finally done with your work?"

The moment that question was asked, the car fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, Tang Xu realized that her hand was being held lightly.

His hands were usually warm and pleasant, but at this moment, they were frighteningly cold.

Tang Xu clearly sensed it, yet remained motionless.

"Is she... angry with me?" Yan Shiyu asked.

Tang Xu gazed quietly out the car window for a long time before replying softly, "No. It's just that Mr. Yan has been gone for several days, and now that we meet again, he seems a little unfamiliar."

Hearing these words, which were clearly tinged with sullenness, Yan Shiyu slowly said, "You still say you're not angry."

He gently tightened his grip on her hand with his cold fingers, explaining, "I've been so busy these past few days, I couldn't get away, that's why I haven't been able to come see you. Are you feeling better?"

"I'm much better now," Tang Xu said. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yan."

After another moment of silence, Yan Shiyu's slightly helpless voice rang out: "Do you have to talk to me like that?"

Tang Xu chuckled softly, followed by a faint sigh, before finally speaking again: "Then let's try a different approach. I have a few questions I'd like to ask Mr. Yan. If you don't mind, could you help me answer them?"

"You said."

"Mr. Yan, do you have some personal grudge against the Jiang family?"

As soon as this question came up, Tang Xu clearly noticed that Yan Shiyu slowly loosened his grip on her hand.

Clearly, she asked a crucial question that was very important to him.

Before he could answer, Tang Xu pressed on, "The reason you're fighting and competing with the Jiang family isn't just to develop the Yan family, but also because you hate the Jiang family, right?"

Yan Shiyu still did not answer.

The hand that had been holding hers had now completely let go. (End of Chapter)
