Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 177: Entangled to the End
Tang Xu tried her best to control her collapsing emotions, but she couldn't control her chaotic feelings at the moment.

Because she didn't know the answer to that question.

She had many, many clues, but all of them were independent—

From their first meeting, through his various actions, to what happened later...

From what Duan Siwei told her, to Gao Yan telling her that she was very important to Yan Shiyu...

From his deliberate attempts to torment her with the story of Song Luobai and Ji Shiqing, to his sudden abandonment of the relationship, and then to the people who stayed by her side to protect her at all times...

These events were clearly displayed in her mind, one by one.

But she had absolutely no way of connecting them into a line.

To this day, there is nothing she can be certain about.

She couldn't even be sure about her own heart.

Tang Xu couldn't help but close her eyes, not wanting to think about the answer to this question anymore.

But the person in front of her wouldn't give her a chance to stop.

"Tell me, what do you think I want?" Yan Shiyu pressed on persistently.

Tang Xu finally opened her eyes again and met his gaze. "Then can you tell me what you want?"

“You know the answer,” Yan Shiyu replied.

"I don't know." Tang Xu's voice was still terribly hoarse. "I don't know... so I want you to tell me..."

The two looked at each other for a long time before Yan Shiyu finally answered softly, "You."

Upon hearing this answer, Tang Xu's eyes froze, and she looked at him quietly for a long time before asking again, "Then can you tell me why it was me?"

A dark cloud settled over Yan Shiyu's deep eyes.

Tang Xu could neither see the answer in his eyes nor hear the answer from his mouth.

After a moment of silence, Tang Xu asked instead of answering, "No, is that so?"

She had already guessed this outcome, so she couldn't help but laugh. "You can't even tell me why it was me, is that it?"

Her voice was very soft, completely unlike her usual tone, like a cloud in the sky that could be blown away by the wind.

There may not be a definite answer to this question, and she genuinely hoped for one, but the fact that there was no answer was truly disheartening.

Tang Xu couldn't help but try to remove his hand, but Yan Shiyu held it tightly, not giving her a chance to let go.

Even without an answer, he still stared intently at her, almost obsessively.

Tang Xu was very upset.

She felt like she was suffocating and could only struggle desperately, but in the end there was nowhere to escape. Finally, Yan Shiyu pulled her into his arms again.

He held her so tightly that she could barely breathe, but this pain was nothing compared to the inner turmoil she was going through.

Her eyes were tightly closed, yet the pain in her heart grew ever clearer. Tang Xu was overwhelmed and almost fainted when she finally heard Yan Shiyu's voice—

“I will not let you go again,” he said.

Tang Xu was still tightly bound by him, and her eyes were still closed, but she could only watch helplessly as she fell into an endless abyss.

After a long silence, she spoke again—

"If I weren't Mrs. Jiang, would I still be me?"

Yan Shiyu gently stroked the back of her head.

"There will be no one else but you." Tang Xu's body trembled uncontrollably, and she finally couldn't bear it any longer, losing consciousness in his arms.

……

When Gao Yan received the news and rushed to the hotel room with the doctor, he only found Tang Xu lying unconscious on the bed.

He was slightly startled and looked at Yan Shiyu by the bedside with some worry.

Could it be that the two of them couldn't reach an agreement, and Yan Shiyu lost control and hit Tang Xu, causing her to faint?
As Gao Yan thought with trepidation, he carefully observed Tang Xu's face and neck for any marks.

Fortunately, there were no signs of violence. However, Tang Xu's appearance as she lay unconscious was extremely pale and thin, especially her face, which was set off by her long black hair, creating a stark contrast between black and white, which was truly alarming.

The doctor's final diagnosis was fainting caused by excessive emotional fluctuations and mild malnutrition.

Upon hearing the words "malnutrition," Gao Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

He never imagined that in today's society, someone as calm, independent, and self-reliant as Tang Xu would be associated with words like malnutrition.

Looking at her slender and frail figure, there wasn't anything surprising about it...

But at least when she and Yan Shiyu were together, this situation never occurred.

It's clear that when two people break up, more than one person suffers the pain.

While helping the doctor treat Tang Xu's condition, Gao Yan couldn't help but glance at Yan Shiyu.

Yan Shiyu sat silently by the bed, staring intently at Tang Xu, his eyes deep and unfocused, lost in thought.

But Gao Yan had a vague feeling that this was probably a good start...

……

When Tang Xu regained consciousness, it was already broad daylight.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in a hotel room.

Her mind was blank for a moment, but she felt a splitting headache. When she looked up, she found that there was an IV drip hanging above her head. Looking down the tubing of the IV drip at her arm, she couldn't remember what had happened.

However, the bathroom door opened the next moment.

Tang Xu turned her head and saw Yan Shiyu walking out from inside.

In an instant, memories of last night flooded my mind, and that unbearable pain surged into my heart once again.

Tang Xu couldn't help but frown, and subconsciously turned her body away.

The next moment, Yan Shiyu forcibly stopped her from trying to escape, and instead picked her up from the bed. He then sat on the edge of the bed and placed Tang Xu in his arms.

Tang Xu's body was extremely stiff.

She was no longer used to such intimate distance and actions, but she didn't have the strength to push him away.

Yan Shiyu supported her with one hand and picked up a small bowl from the bedside with the other.

Then, he held the bowl to Tang Xu's lips and said in a deep voice, "Drink it."

The yellow liquid in the bowl, whether medicine or soup, had a strange smell. Tang Xu instinctively turned her face away, only to hear Yan Shiyu say, "Listen to me, it's good for your health."

Tang Xu turned her head away even more sharply.

Yan Shiyu kept holding the bowl and looked at her for a long time before finally putting it down and saying, "It's okay, you can drink it later."

Tang Xu's mind was racing; she was somewhat unable to handle the current situation, yet she still remembered her initial rationality—

"Yan Shiyu..." she called his name, her voice barely a whisper, "I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore..."

"I told you, in this lifetime, you can only be entangled with me to the very end."
