Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 188 All those years abroad were spent on medical treatment.

Yan Shiyu didn't seem surprised by Tang Xu's attitude.

He closed his eyes slightly, smiled faintly, and finally uttered his first words upon entering the room—

"Isn't it ugly already?"

"Is this considered ugly?" Tang Xu said. "Then Mr. Yan, you clearly haven't experienced enough."

After saying that, Tang Xu turned around and walked to the sofa, picked up her phone, and decisively entered "110".

The next moment, a cool hand grasped her wrist.

This was Tang Xu's second moment of surprise tonight.

The warmth of his hands reminded her of the time he was seriously injured—

His hands are always warm, with only a very few instances where they appear "cool".

Just like that time.

Just like now.

However, Tang Xu was not troubled by this.

She held up her phone, showing him the ready-to-dial option, "I really will call."

Instead of retreating, Yan Shiyu took a step closer.

“I know you’re angry with me,” he said.

“No.” Tang Xu met his gaze and said slowly, “Some things, after they’ve developed to a certain point, don’t make people angry anymore. Because after recognizing the truth, you’ll only feel fortunate, fortunate that you discovered it early—”

"I was afraid I would scare you."

“You really scared me,” Tang Xu said. “I didn’t expect to be facing such a dishonest person, someone who would scheme against me at any time.”

"People like that are terrifying."

"Yan Shiyu, you are terrifying."

Faced with Tang Xu's accusations, word by word, Yan Shiyu kept his eyes slightly lowered. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Is this the terrifying limit for you?"

“No,” Tang Xu said, “this is my limit for you.”

Yan Shiyu slowly raised her eyes.

“When we were in Boston, I thought we had reached a consensus, and everything that happened afterward was based on that consensus.”

"But it turns out that everything was fake, all of it was just wishful thinking on my part. What's the point of everything that happened afterward?"

"Yan Shiyu, we had a chance, but you didn't take it. Let's pretend we never looked back, and let's keep doing what we did before."

After Tang Xu finished speaking firmly, she continued to push him out.

However, the moment her hand touched him, Yan Shiyu suddenly gripped her tightly, and then he led her hand inside his clothes.

Tang Xu assumed he was going to force himself on her and couldn't help but struggle, asking, "What are you going to do?"

Yan Shiyu pressed her hand against his abdomen, using almost all his strength to prevent her from breaking free.

That's why Tang Xu's fingertips touched his body.

That almost uncontrollable, slightly trembling body felt both familiar and strange.

Something seemed to have happened to his body again.

Otherwise, why would this tremor occur?

Tang Xu's fingers paused slightly.

She hesitated between continuing to urge him to leave and checking on his physical condition.

This well-timed hesitation gave Yan Shiyu an opportunity.

He took another step forward, still holding her hand inside his clothes with one hand, and reached his other hand behind her back. Pressing his body against hers, he slowly lowered his head and leaned his body against her shoulder.

Tang Xu stood frozen, not moving.

Yan Shiyu's deep voice came from behind my ear, slightly muffled—

"Forgive me, please?" Tang Xu couldn't answer a single word.

I can't forgive without any resentment.

But if we don't forgive, who will suffer?
In the end, she didn't answer, but took action directly.

Tang Xu pushed Yan Shiyu away and then reached out to start peeling off his clothes.

Yan Shiyu seemed to have prepared for this, even though his body was so stiff as if he was about to push her away at any moment, he did not make a move.

He quietly lowered his eyes, watching as Tang Xu slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

It revealed the wounds he didn't want others to see.

Unlike what she saw last time, this time there were many fresh, recently left marks.

Tang Xu gripped his shirt tightly, staring at the marks on his body. It took her a long time to find her voice again.

"what are these?"

Yan Shiyu's voice had returned to calm: "Traces of treatment."

Tang Xu's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him, "What kind of treatment?"

Yan Shiyu raised his hand and gently stroked her face, replying, "When things are not normal, treatment is needed."

Tang Xu's expression gradually turned to shock.

When things are not normal?
When is it considered abnormal?
And what kind of treatment is it?
Although she hadn't experienced it herself, the unique shape of the scars on his body clearly resembled... the marks left by electric shock.

What diseases require the use of electric shocks for treatment?

A sentence he had once uttered seemingly unintentionally suddenly flashed into Tang Xu's mind—

"They said I was crazy."

When Tang Xu first heard this, he scoffed, thinking that Tang Xu was just trying to scare him.

However, many things that happened later changed her perception.

He seems to have really gone through something, which explains his current behavior and mental state.

Even when she realized this, Tang Xu still didn't take those words seriously.

She thought that the sentence was just a reference.

But at this moment, facing the body before him, Tang Xu could no longer ignore those words.

So, was that a real past?
She recalled many things from the past, while Yan Shiyu simply gazed at her, observing every subtle change in her expression.

However, Tang Xu was always good at disguising herself, especially at this moment. She still had other grudges in her heart, and her face only showed shock and suspicion, without revealing the slightest other clue.

However, Yan Shiyu was still unwilling to wait any longer.

His hand remained on her face, lingering there for a while before he finally asked, "Are you scared?"

Tang Xu did not answer.

The two stood there quietly for a long time. Finally, Yan Shiyu withdrew her hand and bent down to slowly re-fasten the buttons she had just unbuttoned.

Tang Xu's gaze followed his movements until he buttoned the last button, at which point her gaze slowly moved upwards and returned to his face.

At this moment, even though his gaze remained fixed on her face, a hint of coldness and aloofness had crept into his expression.

It was as if something had just silently widened the distance between them.

Tang Xu stared at him quietly for a moment before finally speaking again: "So all those years you spent abroad were for medical treatment?"

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment before responding with a faint "Mm".

“But in Boston, I didn’t notice anything unusual about you,” Tang Xu said.

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment before saying, "That's the treatment I owed from before."

"When did you incur this debt?" Tang Xu continued to press.

Yan Shiyu looked at her and replied, "That time when I went to Europe, you asked me if I could come back within a week."
