Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 170 Entering the House
When Jiang Muchen arrived at Jiang Wanning's apartment, the door was closed, and Zhuang Rou was pacing anxiously outside.

Hearing the elevator, she looked up and saw Jiang Muchen. She immediately went to greet him and said anxiously, "Why are you so late? Wan Ning messaged me saying she was about to leave. I rushed over to see her, but she wouldn't see me... I was so worried!"

Jiang Muchen only glanced at her before walking straight up and knocking on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and Jiang Wanning appeared in the doorway in a wheelchair.

Zhuang Rou immediately rushed forward, grabbed Jiang Wanning's hand, and said anxiously, "Wanning, do you know how worried I was when I received your message? You suddenly said you wanted to leave... Don't you want me as a friend anymore?"

Jiang Wanning gazed at her gently and slowly withdrew her hand.

“You’ve done enough for me, don’t do anything more,” Jiang Wanning said. “It’s precisely because we’ve been friends for so many years that I sent you that message, as a way of giving you an explanation.”

Zhuang Rou was clearly taken aback. "What do you mean by this? What do you mean by 'explaining'? Aren't we friends from now on?"

“I won’t be coming back after I leave,” Jiang Wanning said. “So, take good care of yourself from now on and don’t worry about me anymore.”

As they spoke, Jiang Wanning glanced at Jiang Muchen as if it were unintentional.

Zhuang Rou suddenly realized something and reached out to hold her hand again. "Has someone been spreading rumors about you? Is it Tang Xu?"

Jiang Muchen, standing at the back, darkened his eyes upon hearing Tang Xu's name.

“No one has told me anything.” Jiang Wanning lowered her head slightly, looked at her legs, and said, “Although I can’t walk, I still have eyes and ears. I can perceive things myself, and I don’t need anyone else to tell me. Rou Rou, living your own life well is more important than anything else… Now I want to talk to him alone. Can you give me that opportunity?”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Muchen, who was standing behind Zhuang Rou.

Having said all that, Zhuang Rou had already understood the unspoken meaning behind her words.

Jiang Wanning realized that she had feelings for Jiang Muchen.

This is an extremely disturbing conclusion.

But Zhuang Rou couldn't say anything in front of Jiang Muchen.

She didn't have a chance to say it.

The next moment, Jiang Muchen pushed aside her body blocking the doorway, shoved Jiang Wanning inside, and then slammed the door shut.

Inside the room, the two faced each other in silence for a moment before Jiang Wanning smiled gently and said, "Do you know how scary you are when you have a stern face?"

"Is it because I haven't come to see you lately?" Jiang Muchen asked, getting straight to the point.

"I didn't want to bother you, but I know you're down there, and it's impossible for me to leave on my own. I have no choice but to come to you."

"Don't think that my absence means I don't care about you. I remember everything. The reason I didn't come is because you were unhappy when you saw me the other day—"

"But it would be right to see you before I leave, so I'm very happy to see you."

The two exchanged a few words, completely out of sync, and then the room fell silent again.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Muchen finally couldn't control his increasingly somber expression.

"What do I have to do to make you happy?" he asked.

Jiang Wanning looked at him and said calmly, "Let me go."

"Impossible." The expected answer.

Jiang Wanning remained calm and said softly, "It's been over two years. Those who hurt me back then have all served their sentences and been released. Everything and everyone is moving forward. No one can stay in the same place forever. That's how it is for me, and it should be the same for you."

"Even after they've served their time in jail, I won't let them get away with this—"

“So what?” Jiang Wanning said, “The damage I’ve suffered is irreversible. Even if you torture them to death, I’ll still be the same.”

"So what exactly do you want me to do to satisfy you?" Jiang Muchen suddenly grabbed the armrest of her wheelchair. "I'll immediately sign the divorce papers with Tang Xu, and we'll get married. Are you willing?"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally, Jiang Wanning smiled softly.

"Why don't you understand... For a life like mine, just being able to pick myself up and keep living has taken up almost all my energy. Love is no longer important to me. You... are no longer important either."

Jiang Muchen's hands, supporting him on either side, were bulging with veins.

"This place buries everything from my past. I don't want to stay here anymore, grieving over the traces of the past. I need a change of scenery. I want to move forward. I want to live a good life. Do you understand?"

“I don’t understand,” he said.

Jiang Wanning reached out and gently stroked his face.

"You've been stuck in the same place for so long. You could have moved forward, but you held yourself back, ultimately torturing yourself and others. I need to start over, and you need to start over too. Let me go, and let yourself go, okay?"

She looked at him with an unprecedented gentleness and serenity.

"Live the life you are meant to live. Love the people you are meant to love."

"I will live the rest of my life well. So will you.

……

Tang Xu originally thought that Jiang Muchen was convinced that she was the mastermind, and since she had angered him again that day, Jiang Muchen would definitely not let it go.

But the next few days were unexpectedly peaceful.

Jiang Muchen never appeared before her again, and she didn't even see any of his men.

Three days later, Tang Xu received a call from Wen Qingyu, Jiang's cousin-in-law, asking if she knew about Jiang Wanning's departure.

Although Tang Xu had nothing to fear anymore, hearing Jiang Wanning's name still stirred her emotions, and she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Upon learning that Jiang Wanning had completely left Huai City and gone to live in a warm city in the south, Tang Xu felt a mix of emotions.

To her surprise, Jiang Muchen actually agreed to let her leave.

"You didn't know?" Wen Qingyu was also surprised that she was completely unaware. "I thought you two had reached some kind of agreement."

“I’m not familiar with Miss Jiang, and I’ll never reach any consensus with Jiang Muchen,” Tang Xu replied.

Wen Qingyu sighed softly upon hearing this, knowing that she wouldn't be able to get any more information from her, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Tang Xu originally thought the incident might have come to an end, but she never expected that when she returned to Yujing Bay that night and opened the door to her home, she would see Jiang Muchen sitting on her sofa with his arms around her.
