Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 147 Photos I Forgot to Delete

The night Tang Xu and Song Yuqiao booked their plane tickets, Song Luobai, who had been lounging on the sofa like a couch potato all summer, finally woke up.

He sat on the sofa, staring intently at Tang Xu and Song Yuqiao, who were studying plane tickets at the dining table, without saying a word.

Song Yuqiao looked up several times and tried to signal him with her eyes, but Song Luobai, though he clearly saw it, acted as if he hadn't and remained silent.

In the end, it was Song Yuqiao who spoke up for him—

"After we left, did Luo Bai continue living at the school?"

Tang Xu then looked up and glanced at Song Luobai.

Song Luobai stiffened slightly, but still stubbornly remained silent.

Tang Xu then said, "When we left, the holiday wasn't over yet. You have to come back every night. I asked Aunt Lin next door to give you your living expenses for the next day only if she sees you every night. After school starts, you'll come to school every Sunday night, and the dormitory supervisor will give you your living expenses for the week. You also have to come back to Yujing Bay after school on Saturdays. Aunt Lin will only give you your living expenses for the rest day after she sees you."

Upon hearing this, Song Luobai's expression changed slightly.

He originally thought that Tang Xu would give him all the living expenses he might need when she left this time, but he didn't expect her to be so calculating, giving him living expenses separately for school days and rest days, even down to the daily allowance.

Her arrangement of providing living expenses to two people undoubtedly restricted his movements as well—

If you don't return to school on time or don't return to Yujingwan, you won't receive your living expenses.

Song Luobai had never been managed like this before in his life. He turned around and lay back down on the sofa, covered his head with the blanket, and once again became a lazy bum.

After carefully considering Tang Xu's arrangement, Song Yuqiao felt that there was no better way to ensure that Song Luobai would obediently go to and from school. After realizing this, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and did not question it at all.

……

Gao Yan didn't dare mention a word about Tang Xu going abroad to Yan Shiyu.

Just as Tang Xu believed, since he was the one who understood Yan Shiyu the most, he knew that there must be some deeper reasons why the two of them had fallen out like this.

Yan Shiyu is largely to blame for this.

Otherwise, given his personality and past attitude towards Tang Xu, he would never have allowed things to develop to this point.

If he wanted to know what Tang Xu was up to, he would definitely be able to find out.

If he chose to avoid it, there must be a reason for his decision.

Gao Yan had a vague guess about the reason, but he never dared to think about it in detail.

Then one day, Gao Yan was tidying up Yan Shiyu's desk documents when he unexpectedly found Tang Xu's photo on Yan Shiyu's personal computer.

To be precise, it's a photo of Tang Xu taken that day.

The document containing those photos clearly indicates the date: August 17th.

In the photo, Tang Xu is shopping with Song Yuqiao at the mall. He looks to be in good spirits, and although his expression is calm, you can still see a smile on his face from time to time.

Gao Yan stared at the series of photos for a moment, then quickly searched for them on Yan Shiyu's computer.

Since these photos are dated, it means they are not the first batch; there may have been others before.

However, Gao Yan did not find any other photos.

Either he guessed wrong, or Yan Shiyu deleted it himself.

The fact that the photos are still here today is perhaps just an accident.

As Gao Yan was pondering, Yan Shiyu suddenly walked in from outside the door.

Gao Yan stood up slightly. "Mr. Yan."

Seeing that he was tidying up, Yan Shiyu did not go over, but sat down opposite him, flipping through the most recent documents at hand, and asked casually, "What are you looking at?"

Gao Yan truthfully replied, "You have a few photos on your computer. Did you forget to delete them?"

Upon hearing the question, Yan Shiyu paused slightly as she flipped through the documents. Just when Gao Yan was almost convinced she had guessed wrong, she finally heard Yan Shiyu's response—

"I forgot to delete it."

Gao Yan paused, then quickly lowered his head and swiftly manipulated the computer screen, completely deleting the photos.

Then he raised his head again and glanced at Yan Shiyu cautiously.

Gao Yan couldn't see anything unusual on his face.

But those photos just now have already explained some things.

It wasn't that he didn't pay attention to Tang Xu; on the contrary, he knew everything about Tang Xu's life.

Perhaps Tang Xu has already decided to let go.

But it's clear that Yan Shiyu hasn't let go.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have forgotten to delete these photos.

After all, Tang Xu looks really good when she smiles slightly in the photo.

But he neither let go nor chose to try to hold on, which meant... there was no way to hold on.

Gao Yan secretly glanced at Yan Shiyu's hand.

His hand rested calmly on the heavy document, and apart from the obvious contrast between the bluish and white on the back of his hand, there was nothing unusual about it.

Gao Yan quickly looked away, paused, and finally spoke softly: "Miss Tang... is flying the day after tomorrow."

Yan Shiyu has not responded to this.

As if he had received an answer, Gao Yan didn't say another word. After packing his things, he left the office.

……

On the third day, Tang Xu boarded the plane to Boston as scheduled.

After more than ten hours of flight, we finally arrived in a strange city in a foreign land.

Before even setting off, Tang Xu had contacted a local real estate agent. After landing, they visited several apartments and quickly arranged a place for Song Yuqiao to live for the next few years.

Meanwhile, in the same building, Tang Xu took a liking to another apartment and signed a short-term contract as a temporary place to stay.

Song Yuqiao was somewhat puzzled by this.

"Didn't you come here to have fun? You stay in hotels in other cities. Even if you need a place to transfer, my apartment is small, but you can still squeeze in. Why do you need to rent another place?"

Tang Xu's response was: "Would you be willing for me to come to your place and bother you from time to time?"

Song Yuqiao choked and quickly shut up, saying no more about it.

Fortunately, the excitement of arriving in a new place was enough to overshadow everything else. That evening, the two sat in a restaurant on the street for dinner. Song Yuqiao looked around at everything, her eyes shining with undisguised excitement.

"Didn't you ever think about studying abroad before?"

Perhaps she was too excited, because she suddenly asked Tang Xu a question.

Tang Xu glanced at her and said calmly, "I study traditional Chinese dance, what would I study abroad?"

Song Yuqiao choked again, then remembered that Tang Xu used to study dance.

Moreover, she used to be a very good dancer, and her school teachers even visited her home to discuss her future career path with Song Yuting and Qin Yun.

But it seems she never danced again after that.

"Then why aren't you jumping now?"

Tang Xu's gaze gradually turned to the distant city skyline, and he responded faintly, "I'm too old to jump anymore."
