Marriage Seduction Addiction

Tang Xu felt somewhat helpless in the face of Meng Tianyou, whom Song Yuqiao described as "pretty good".

It wasn't that she had no contact with men; on the contrary, she had contact with many different kinds of men.

After her mindset changed, when faced with certain problems, she subconsciously chose an escape method that she herself despised.

"Since you're from Huai City, don't you watch the news?" Tang Xu asked Meng Tianyou.

"Occasionally," Meng Tianyou replied. "So what if I watch the news?"

"Do you know that I have another identity?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianyou's face lit up with a pleasant smile, and he readily replied, "I know."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's eyes widened slightly. "Knowing that you still have the nerve to be so bold?"

“Aren’t you already in the process of getting a divorce?” Meng Tianyou said. “What’s the big deal? If you’re getting a divorce, it means you have no feelings for him. If you have no feelings, what’s wrong with cultivating a new relationship?”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu gazed at him quietly for a moment, then chuckled softly, "I'm just afraid that this new relationship will also be a mistake."

"How will we know if we don't try?" Meng Tianyou insisted.

Tang Xu didn't say much, but just shook his head and chuckled.

"It seems you've really been hurt a lot." Meng Tianyou looked at her and said, "Then let's not talk about feelings for now, but first of all, please don't keep me at arm's length, okay?"

Tang Xu couldn't help but sigh. After a moment of silence, she turned to look at him and asked, "Did you like my dance?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianyou's eyes lit up. "Of course!"

Tang Xu nodded, then said, "If I told you that from now on, I can never dance like that again, would you still like it?"

"Why?" Meng Tianyou was slightly taken aback.

"I'm sorry," Tang Xu said. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I just... can't jump anymore."

……

After arriving in Boston, Tang Xu almost stopped browsing social media in China.

So she was unaware that the dance video, after being widely circulated, sparked considerable discussion.

"So beautiful! Classical beauty! Traditional beauty! Light and graceful beauty! Exquisite beauty!"

"This is the significance of the revival of traditional culture!"

"Is the dancer Tang Xu the same Tang Xu I know?"

"What? It's actually Tang Xu? Hmm, I don't want to comment."

"Putting aside their private lives, this dance is technically very advanced and showcases a very talented dancer."

"Back in the dance academy, Tang Xu was one of the best in terms of talent and technique. She could perform moves like leg twists and loops with great fluidity, which many dancers wouldn't dare to attempt. The teachers had high hopes for her, but we don't know why she stopped dancing later."

"How hard do dancers work? Once they marry into a wealthy family, they think they've found a lifelong meal ticket. Who would be willing to endure this kind of hardship?"

"It's such a waste to squander such talent on the sake of so-called status as a member of a wealthy family!"

"Do you even know how much property she'll get from the Jiang family after the divorce? Why are you feeling sorry for her?"

"Putting everything else aside, this dance was performed very well!"

"Was Jiang Muchen moved by this kind of dance back then, which is why he married her?"

"Different circles, don't force yourself to fit in. Is it worth giving up dance, which you should have considered your life's work, in exchange for a messy marriage?"

Initially, the online discussion was simply about the aesthetics of Chinese dance. However, after it was discovered that the dancer was Tang Xu, the discussion clearly shifted towards Tang Xu.

Overall, it received mixed reviews.

No matter how well the dance is performed, it will greatly damage people's positive impression of the dance simply because the dancer is Tang Xu.

Gao Yan sat behind his desk, trying to keep a straight face as he scrolled through the comments on social media. The more he scrolled, the more his brows furrowed.

The dance video has been trending for the past two days. He wasn't sure if Yan Shiyu had seen it, but he also didn't dare to ask Yan Shiyu about it. Since the last time Tang Xu was mentioned, Yan Shiyu seemed to have shown no unusual reaction or made any statement.

However, Gao Yan was the person closest to him, and he clearly sensed that Yan Shiyu's style of doing things had changed.

Well, the impression Yan Shiyu left on people in the past was always that of a refined gentleman, gentle and composed. Even in the cutthroat business world, he was extremely elegant and almost flawless.

Even in his competition with the Jiang family, he was someone outsiders couldn't find a single fault with.

However, recently, Yan Shiyu's actions have become less "perfect".

What's more obvious is the recent changes within the company. One shareholder, along with two senior executives, pulled some dirty tricks and were ousted by Yan Shiyu.

In the past, he would never have acted this way.

And this is just the beginning.

If it were only this one incident, others might praise him for his decisiveness and ruthlessness.

However, if several things are handled in the same way, it may become ruthless.

The word "ruthless" is never a good one.

Although it hasn't happened yet, no one knows how many people will react if a few more such incidents occur.

Yan Shiyu knew what he would suffer as a result, and Gao Yan knew it too.

Therefore, Gao Yan did not want to see such a thing happen.

However, he had no way to stop it.

Yan Shiyu has always had his own code of conduct. After all, he is just an assistant, so how could he possibly control him?

Thinking of this, Gao Yan couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

He dared not say that such a change was necessarily related to Tang Xu.

But he knew that, at least when Tang Xu was around, Yan Shiyu wasn't like this.

Tang Xu Tang Xu Tang Xu...

Gao Yan didn't know if he had watched too much of that dance video, but at this moment, Tang Xu was all he could think about.

If there is someone in the world who can save him from worrying about Yan Shiyu, then that person must be Tang Xu, right?
But what can he do?
Just as Gao Yan was burying himself in his troubles, a "ding" sound suddenly came from his computer—the sound of receiving an email.

Gao Yan's head was throbbing. It took him a while to finally lift his head, glance at the computer screen, and his eyes narrowed instantly before he quickly opened the email.

A few minutes later, Gao Yan rushed into Yan Shiyu's office with the printed email in hand.

Yan Shiyu was looking down at the documents when Gao Yan, without a second thought, placed the email directly in front of him.

Yan Shiyu slowly raised her eyes and looked at the contents of the paper in front of her.

There is a city name on it.

new York.

"Mr. Yan, this is the latest news we just received: the person might be there. Should we go?"

……

Three days later, Yan Shiyu, along with Gao Yan, boarded a plane bound for New York.

Gao Yan's heart was beating very fast.

Even though they were going to New York, even though there are more than 300 kilometers between New York and Boston, even though they were going there for something else, he just felt that this was probably an opportunity given by God.

It's only a little over 300 kilometers.

It's not like there's absolutely no chance of them meeting, is it? (End of Chapter)
