Chapter 182 What Yan Shiyu Was Even More Curious About
This day didn't actually hold much significance for Tang Xu.

In previous years, it was just a family reunion dinner.

Although Song Yuting doted on her, Song Yuqiao and Song Luobai always treated her like she was invisible, so Tang Xu usually didn't stay at the dining table for long and would go back to her room to rest early most of the time.

This year, Song Yuting and Qin Yun are no longer here, making this day seem even less significant.

Her original plan was to spend the day in Australia, but the plan changed and she ended up staying in Boston for so long.

I also didn't expect to see so many people in Boston.

Even on the last day of this traditional year, she will meet an unexpected person.

At that time, Tang Xu was taking a break at a coffee shop on the street. She originally planned to finish her coffee and then go back to the hotel, but unexpectedly someone knocked on the glass window she was leaning against.

Tang Xu turned her head and saw a gentle, smiling face.

For a moment, Tang Xu's mind went blank, and she was unable to react.

It wasn't until the person walked into the coffee shop and sat down in the chair opposite her that Tang Xu gradually came back to her senses.

Perhaps it was because her expression was too calm that the man opposite her couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong? Are you scared by me, or do you no longer recognize who I am?"

After a moment of silence, Tang Xu slowly said, "How could someone like Mr. Yan be easily forgotten?"

"Oh?" Yan Fengqi raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled. "So, you were scared by me? Am I that scary?"

As he spoke, he reached up and touched his face.

Tang Xu watched his movements and said, "What makes a person terrifying is never their appearance."

"What does that depend on?"

“Many,” Tang Xu replied.

After a few brief exchanges, Yan Fengqi's smile deepened. "It seems you've already met Jiang Muchen?"

Tang Xu did not answer.

"So you're holding a grudge against me?" Yan Fengqi stared intently at her and laughed. "Whether you believe it or not, I absolutely have no intention of harming you."

"I believe you," Tang Xu said calmly.

"Oh?" This answer seemed to have surprised Yan Fengqi. He looked at Tang Xu with interest and asked, "So, you're not blaming me?"

"Mr. Yan was just telling the truth, what's there to complain about?" Tang Xu said. "Perhaps to some extent, I should be grateful to Mr. Yan for helping me solve a problem."

Yan Fengqi stared at her quietly for a few seconds, then nodded in praise, "As expected of the woman Yan Shiyu has chosen, you truly understand the bigger picture. I've naturally considered this matter as well. Yan Shiyu and Jiang Muchen have already fallen out. Even if I told Jiang Muchen about your relationship, it would only add a minor layer of bitterness over a woman being stolen from him. Even if Jiang Muchen knew about this, he couldn't possibly disregard his male pride and spread it around... In conclusion, your relationship with Yan Shiyu will remain a secret. The only one affected by this is Jiang Muchen. What do you think?"

He gave this serious analysis, but Tang Xu did not offer any response to the question.

Instead, she changed the subject and asked Yan Fengqi, "Why would Mr. Yan come to Boston on such a festive day?"

Yan Fengqi's topic was suddenly interrupted, but he didn't seem to care much. He just laughed and said, "What? You can come here, Yan Shiyu can come here, Jiang Muchen can come here, but I can't?"

“Of course not,” Tang Xu said. “Then I wish Mr. Yan a happy new year in Boston.”

Yan Fengqi sensed that she was about to leave, "You're leaving already?"

"It was just a chance encounter with people I didn't know very well. I'm already very content with chatting for a bit," Tang Xu said as she stood up to put on her coat. "Have a good time."

Throughout this entire encounter, although Yan Fengqi was the one who took the initiative to appear, he was unable to control the rhythm of the conversation in the slightest. Every word Tang Xu said, and even her sudden departure, was beyond his expectations.

He maintained his smiling expression, nodded, and said meaningfully, "I wish you all a pleasant time as well."

Tang Xu put on her coat, turned around and walked out of the coffee shop, striding forward against the cold night wind.

It was only two kilometers from where she was staying. Tang Xu walked for twenty minutes in the night breeze and returned to the hotel.

Even though the hotel lobby and elevators were well-heated, Tang Xu's face was still slightly pale when she entered.

When she closed the door and turned around, she found that there was someone else in her room, and her face turned even paler.

When he realized that the person sitting by the window was Yan Shiyu, the shock didn't subside for a moment.

Yan Shiyu simply sat quietly in the single sofa, taking in every movement and subtle change in expression Tang Xu made since she entered. "You..." Tang Xu's emotions were still somewhat unsettled, "When did you arrive?"

“An hour ago,” Yan Shiyu replied, “Why do you look so pale?”

"I caught a bit of a breeze on the way," Tang Xu said.

He sat there, and she still seemed a little awkward. After taking off her coat and fixing her hair, she seemed to turn around and head towards the bathroom.

It wasn't until Yan Shiyu said, "Come here."

Tang Xu paused for a moment before slowly walking towards him.

Yan Shiyu reached out and took her cold hands into his palms. He stared at her face for a moment before gently pulling her into his arms.

He probably rushed over from New York as soon as he finished his work, having taken off his overcoat and suit jacket, but still wearing a white shirt.

Tang Xu wore a thin velvet skirt under her coat.

Through their thin clothes, the coolness of her body and the warmth of his body seemed like two separate worlds, yet they gradually seeped into each other, permeating one another...

Leaning on his shoulder, Tang Xu gradually calmed down.

Did you know that Yan Fengqi has also come to Boston?

Upon hearing this question, Yan Shiyu simply responded with a flat "Mm".

He wasn't surprised at all, and probably already knew that Tang Xu had met with him.

Tang Xu sat up slightly and asked again, "Do you know why he came here?"

Hearing this question, Yan Shiyu seemed somewhat surprised. He looked at her with a deep gaze and asked in return, "You know?"

Tang Xu nodded slowly, then said, "But I'm not sure if I should tell you."

Tang Xu was serious when she said that.

Because on this day, before she met Yan Fengqi, she met another person.

A young woman with a beautiful face.

It was just a fleeting encounter at the zebra crossing. Tang Xu only glanced at her, feeling that she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

However, she didn't let this problem trouble her for too long, until the moment she met Yan Fengqi—

In that instant, she remembered where she had seen that woman before.

The last time, before meeting Yan Fengqi, I only glanced at her once.

The other person stuffed something into her bag, and then she was brought in front of Yan Fengqi.

Now, Yan Fengqi's sudden appearance has resolved Tang Xu's doubts, and similarly, that woman has also helped Tang Xu resolve a question.

She was almost certain that Yan Fengqi had come here for that woman.

She didn't know the woman's identity or her relationship with Yan Fengqi, so she didn't know whether she could tell Yan Shiyu.

She was unsure whether this would drag an innocent woman into this fight between men.

She needs to think and consider.

“Since we’re unsure, let’s not talk about it,” Yan Shiyu replied. “I don’t necessarily need to hear it.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu tilted her head slightly to look at him, "Aren't you curious?"

“Compared to that…” Yan Shiyu said slowly, “I am more curious about something else.”

Tang Xu was about to ask something when she suddenly lost her voice.

Yan Shiyu's hand reached over her clothes and gently caressed her back, tracing every inch of her body.

Tang Xu lowered her eyes slightly as she heard him ask her—

"Have you been eating properly these days?"
