Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 203 Both Are Different
Hearing Song Luobai return to her room, Tang Xu sat in her room for a long time before finally opening the door and coming out.

That night, the small house was bustling with activity. Important figures like Jiang Muchen and Yan Shiyu came and went, but eventually, tranquility returned once again.

But... this little house is now peaceful.

What about the others?
Tang Xu could hardly think deeply.

She locked herself in the bathroom and took a shower that lasted nearly two hours. When she finally returned to her bedroom, she found several missed calls on her phone.

They all came from the Jiang family mansion.

Even though it was already past midnight, Tang Xu still dialed the number back.

On the other end of the line, Yingjie quickly answered the phone: "Young Madam..."

Hearing that her voice was awake, Tang Xu couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ying, you're still awake? What happened?"

"Yes, young master just returned..."

Tang Xu was slightly taken aback, then gave a wry smile.

Unexpectedly, things turned out quite well, and in the end, Jiang Muchen still returned to the Jiang family mansion.

She hardly needed to ask Jiang Muchen what state he was in when he returned, or what he did there.

Tang Xu could guess all of this.

Tang Xu simply asked, "Does he know what he should know?"

Yingjie hurriedly said, "I don't know... I remember what you said. When I heard him come back, I took the doctor's medicine and went out. I bumped into him, and the medicine spilled all over the floor. He was very angry, but he also picked up the medicine box and looked at it..."

"Did he ask anything?" Tang Xu asked again.

“I asked,” Yingjie replied. “He asked whose medicine it was, and I answered that it was the master’s… He didn’t say anything, just turned around and left… I’m not sure what he meant by that…”

After listening, Tang Xu slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "That's enough. You've done what you were supposed to do."

"You mean, he already knows?"

"Ah."

Actually, there was no need to go through such a roundabout way to tell Jiang Muchen about Jiang Beiheng's relapse, but Jiang Beiheng himself was unwilling to say it, and Jiang Muchen's personality was strange and unpredictable... Out of desperation, Tang Xu used this method to let Jiang Muchen "accidentally" discover the truth.

In this way, Yingjie wouldn't have to suffer Jiang Beiheng's harsh criticism, and she wouldn't have to bear the additional risk of being suspected by Jiang Muchen.

After all, even the slightest suspicion from Jiang Muchen could bring about earth-shattering changes.

But now, how far are we from a complete upheaval?
Tang Xu was completely bewildered, with no known factors.

……

The next morning, when Tang Xu woke up, Song Luobai was no longer at home.

Tang Xu was in low spirits, with a splitting headache, and had no mind to guess where Song Luobai was. As soon as she sat down on the sofa, she couldn't help but fall down and curl up on her side.

However, just as she lay down, she suddenly heard the sound of a door opening and closing coming from the direction of the front door.

Tang Xu didn't even have the strength to get up and see who it was, until the person slowly walked up to her and reached out to touch her forehead.

Tang Xu slowly opened her eyes and saw Yan Shiyu squatting in front of her.

It took her a while to process what was happening before she asked, "Why are you here? Don't you have to go to work today?"

Hearing her slightly hoarse voice, Yan Shiyu seemed uncertain. He lowered his head and touched her forehead with his own to feel her body temperature.

Tang Xu couldn't help but chuckle softly, and sat up by clinging to his arm, saying, "I'm not sick, I just didn't sleep well last night and I'm a little tired."

Yan Shiyu slowly moved away from her forehead, then reached out and stroked her face before saying, "Get up and eat."

Tang Xu then noticed the two food containers on the table next to her. She looked away and smiled at him, "Mr. Yan, such a busy man, you're not at work at this hour just to bring me breakfast?"

“What if I say ‘yes’?” Yan Shiyu asked softly. Tang Xu was taken aback again.

When their eyes met, she could clearly sense his sincerity.

Yan Shiyu has always been like this.

Even though he is so profound, taciturn, and enigmatic, Tang Xu still doesn't understand his past, his present, or his future...

But she could sense him.

Saying this might make people laugh, but Tang Xu was certain that she could sense him.

So, in the past, she had fallen for him once when she knew almost nothing about him.

And now, with a large blank space still in her mind, she has given herself and him a second chance.

She knew why he had come today.

She knew he was worried about her.

After her thoughts had wandered for a while, Tang Xu met his gaze and smiled gently.

“If you say ‘yes,’ that would really spoil me,” she said.

Yan Shiyu simply reached out and gently brushed the hair between her brows, then led her to stand up from the sofa and sit down at the dining table.

Perhaps thinking that she had no appetite, Yan Shiyu brought only light and easy-to-eat foods.

Although Tang Xu really couldn't eat, she still scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.

Just as she took a spoonful of porridge, she suddenly remembered something, her movements stiffened slightly, and then she looked up at him.

Before she could even ask anything, Yan Shiyu seemed to already know what she was thinking and replied, "Song Luobai has already gone to school and won't suddenly come back."

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then let out a soft "hmm" before continuing to eat.

After finally managing to eat a few mouthfuls of porridge, she looked up and found Yan Shiyu sitting quietly opposite her, without any extra expression or movement, just looking at her.

Tang Xu was silent for a moment before asking, "Will you be angry with me?"

"In which aspect?" Yan Shiyu asked.

"I've been frequenting the Jiang family mansion lately," Tang Xu replied. "Will you be angry?"

Yan Shiyu did not answer, but instead asked, "Then will you be angry with me?"

Tang Xu also asked, "In which aspect?"

"I will definitely not let the Jiang family off the hook," Yan Shiyu said.

Tang Xu pursed her lips gently and said slowly, "I know."

After a moment of silence, she added, "That's your business, I have no right to interfere."

Yan Shiyu continued to look at her, calm and composed, "Therefore, I have no right to interfere with what you want to do."

This can be considered as reaching a certain consensus.

Tang Xu lowered her head and stirred the porridge in front of her, then suddenly gave a bitter laugh and said, "Won't we seem too strange like this?"

"Are you afraid of being seen as an outsider?" Yan Shiyu asked.

Tang Xu pondered for a moment, shrugged, and said, "I've been an oddball since I was a child."

Yan Shiyu gazed at her calmly and attentively, and said, "Yes, me too."

Tang Xu slowly raised her eyes, met his gaze for a moment, then suddenly picked up her bowl of porridge, gently touched the bowl in front of him, and said with a smile, "To my fellow countrymen."

Yan Shiyu met her smiling face, and a faint smile finally appeared on his lips as well.
