Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 178 Unable to Escape
These words made Tang Xu feel as if she had been transported back to the past.

He did say that, when she first tried to break up with him after Song Yuting's death.

At that time, she was heartbroken and only regarded him as a "sugar daddy". So when he said those words, she had no extra energy to struggle or question him.

Now, as he uttered those words once again, Tang Xucai couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Should we persist to the end?
Do she and he have the right to be entangled to the end?

She didn't know how those feelings had started.

She doesn't know where her heart will lead in the future either.

Even if she is willing to face her own heart, can she really face the unknown past and future with equanimity?

Tang Xu didn't know.

That's life.

Even with all the clues, it was still impossible to come up with an accurate answer.

She sat motionless with her eyes downcast, as if she had lost all her strength.

Just then, the IV drip above her head ran out of fluid. Yan Shiyu put her back on the bed without calling the doctor. He took matters into his own hands, pressing down on the IV site on her hand while skillfully removing the needle.

Tang Xu looked down at his movements, but still didn't look up.

Yan Shiyu didn't say much. He lowered his head and pressed on her injection site for a long time before slowly releasing it and applying protective tape.

Tang Xu quickly withdrew her hand, still lost in her own thoughts, unwilling to communicate with him at all.

Yan Shiyu turned to dispose of the used needles and catheters, and just as she put them into a special garbage bag and tied it up, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Just as Yan Shiyu was about to get up and walk to the door to open it, Tang Xu seemed to suddenly remember something, snapped awake, threw off the covers, got out of bed, ran behind Yan Shiyu, and grabbed him.

Just as Yan Shiyu turned around, Tang Xu pushed him toward the bathroom door with practiced ease.

She wasn't very strong, but Yan Shiyu was easily pushed inside and watched as she closed the door.

He stood there quietly for a moment, and his expression finally softened.

Then, Yan Shiyu turned around and sat down directly on the edge of the bathtub, waiting quietly.

Outside the door, Tang Xu closed it and once again fell into a daze.

This seems to be the third time she has hidden him in the bathroom.

That's why he's so skilled and fluent, even surprising himself.

Only she knows what she is afraid of.

Ironically, this very "knowing" made her more aware and more distressed.

Reason may seem to be able to control everything, but it ultimately cannot control one's true feelings.

Subconscious actions are the most genuine.

Ultimately, there was no way to avoid it.

Lost in thought, she was finally pulled back to reality by the persistent ringing of the doorbell.

She slowly stepped forward, peeked out through the peephole, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the door.

Song Yuqiao, her brows slightly furrowed, led Song Luobai, who looked impatient, to stand outside the door. The moment the door opened, both of them relaxed for a moment before resuming their previous expressions.

"Why did it take you so long to open the door?" Song Yuqiao asked her. "Were you sleeping so soundly?"

Tang Xu didn't answer, but instead asked, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't we agree to have lunch together today? You promised so readily, and then you forgot?"

Tang Xu hadn't actually forgotten.

Even though her mind was in complete turmoil at that moment, she still remembered this incident, which is why she subconsciously stopped Yan Shiyu from opening the door.

She didn't argue at the moment, only saying, "I'll tidy up, I'll be done soon, please wait for me."

After saying that, Tang Xu prepared to close the door. However, Song Luobai, who was standing behind her, suddenly noticed the tape on the back of Tang Xu's hand. She gently nudged Song Yuqiao, who immediately noticed as well and asked, "What happened to your hand?"

Tang Xu was usually composed, but for some reason, she subconsciously hid her hands behind her back. "It's nothing."

The more she acted this way, the less willing Song Yuqiao was to give up. She grabbed Tang Xu's hand, saw the tape on her hand, and also noticed the bag of yellow medical waste in the room.

"What happened?" Song Yuqiao was slightly shocked. "Are you sick?"

"No," Tang Xu said helplessly, "I'm standing right in front of you, aren't I?"

"What's in that bag?" Song Yuqiao asked as she walked past Tang Xu and straight into the room.

Song Luobai remained standing outside the door with his arms crossed, also staring at the bag of trash.

Tang Xu turned around as Song Yuqiao followed her steps, and for a moment, she felt a slight buzzing in her head.

Because only now did she notice a coat on the single sofa chair by the window—a men's coat.

Song Yuqiao stopped in her tracks as soon as she entered the room.

Because she saw the coat as well.

She suddenly turned to look at Tang Xu, and after a moment of stunned silence, she quickly turned to look towards the bathroom with the door tightly closed.

However, at that moment, Song Yuqiao was thinking of something else entirely—

She quickly grabbed Tang Xu's arm, avoiding the IV needle on the back of his hand, and carefully examined both of Tang Xu's arms. After finding that both arms were intact, she stared at Tang Xu's face and eyes again and again.

Finally, she slowly uttered, "Tang Xu, being heartbroken is no big deal, but you mustn't do anything foolish."

It took Tang Xu a few seconds to realize what she meant by being confused.

She suddenly laughed, "Do I look like one?"

Song Yuqiao released her hand and said, "It's best not to. You must never touch that kind of thing."

Tang Xu withdrew her hand and said, "Thank you for the reminder."

Song Yuqiao then looked towards the bathroom again, seemingly pondering for a moment, before turning to look at Tang Xu.

Song Luobai remained standing outside the door. In the end, she didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the door, leaving only the words, "We'll wait for you in the lobby."

She closed the door behind her.

The space became enclosed and private once again.

Tang Xu's heart seemed even more chaotic than before.

She stood there for a long time before finally remembering something, and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

The moment she opened the door, a hand reached out from inside and pulled her inside.

Then the bathroom door closed again.

Tang Xu was pinned against the bathroom door, and what greeted her was a man's passionate and tender kiss.

It was a long-awaited, almost perfect fusion of flavors.

She could hear Yan Shiyu's heavy breathing and heartbeat, and feel the temperature of his body and tongue.

She was nearly suffocating, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

But there was nowhere to escape.

They were powerless to escape.

She had clearly let go of it for a very long time, and let go of so much...

But among all those people, she was the only one.

She put aside all her thoughts and emotions, but ultimately she couldn't let go of the person in front of her.

If you can't let go, you're destined to be powerless to escape.
