Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 207 Yan Shiyu said, "Don't go."
As soon as these words were spoken, an eerie silence fell over the carriage.

Those who heard this were shocked, while the person who said it seemed to be caught in some kind of internal struggle.

It was as if saying those words was an accident, yet it was also as if... not so accidental.

Tang Xu slowly turned to look at Jiang Muchen, "Did I hear that right? You actually want Dad to go abroad for treatment? His condition has relapsed, shouldn't you be celebrating with drums and gongs?"

Even Tang Xu herself thought those words were extremely offensive, but she couldn't help but blurt them out.

Jiang Muchen seemed still caught in that tug-of-war. Hearing Tang Xu's words, he didn't show much emotion. Only the darkness between his brows became more and more obvious.

“Yes,” he surprisingly echoed Tang Xu’s words, saying slowly, “That’s why I asked you to go abroad with him. It’ll be peaceful once he’s gone, won’t it?”

Tang Xu instantly understood the meaning behind his words.

Although Jiang Beiheng stepped down from his position at the Jiang family, he still holds the title of chairman and has a very high level of influence among the shareholders.

Jiang Muchen has recently suffered frequent setbacks and is clearly under considerable pressure from the board of directors and shareholders. He believes that part of this pressure comes from Jiang Beiheng.

Even though Jiang Beiheng mostly mediated between him and the shareholders, trying his best to protect him.

In Jiang Muchen's view, this is also part of the pressure.

His statement may not be the whole reason why he wanted Jiang Beiheng to go abroad, but it's probably about 70% true.

Tang Xu couldn't help but laugh. "What makes you think I'd agree to that?"

Jiang Muchen gazed at her quietly for a moment, then slowly said, "Because I have a condition that you absolutely cannot refuse."

Tang Xu turned to look at him again.

"If you accompany him abroad for treatment, I will agree to sign the divorce papers."

These words were spoken very softly, softer than any words Jiang Muchen had ever said to her before.

Even Tang Xu had some doubts about whether the person in front of her was really Jiang Muchen.

How could Jiang Muchen, who had repeatedly attacked and threatened her, possibly speak in such a tone?
"What makes you think this is a condition I can't refuse?" Tang Xu said. "Jiang Muchen, in eight months, as long as I file for divorce again, no matter what tricks you use, the court will have to grant the divorce. I could have waited for this outcome; I don't need you to offer it to me like this."

"In eight months, your name will be tied to mine for another eight months. After that, you will still only be able to appear in public and in the news as Mrs. Jiang." Jiang Muchen's voice had returned to its former deep tone. "Are you sure you want to endure these eight months?"

Tang Xu heard it clearly; it was a threat.

Even though she never imagined that her relationship with Yan Shiyu could be made public, she really didn't want to go through the kind of situation Jiang Muchen described again.

“It’s okay, there’s no need to rush to agree. I’ll give you time to think it over,” Jiang Muchen said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the lock on the car suddenly unlocked.

Tang Xu immediately reached for the doorknob, but just as she was about to push the door open, she turned back and looked at him coldly and calmly. "Jiang Muchen, I hope Dad will actively seek treatment and recover soon. Even if one day I really accompany him abroad for treatment, it will be for Dad's own sake, not for you or your so-called conditions."

After saying that, she pushed open the car door and got out.

Jiang Muchen remained quietly seated in the car, watching her departing figure through the dark window tint.

Soon, Tang Xu got into his car, started the engine, and drove away quickly.

Then, the driver opened the car door and got in.

At the same time, Cheng Jin peeked out from behind the driver's seat and looked at Jiang Muchen, who was sitting in the back seat. "Mr. Jiang, I'll go back by myself. I won't be in your car anymore. You should get some rest."

Jiang Muchen didn't even glance at him, and slowly closed his eyes. The driver quickly started the car and drove away from the mansion.

……

When Tang Xu finally returned to Yujing Bay, Yan Shiyu had already been sitting on her sofa for almost an hour.

Recently, it has become the norm for Tang Xu to come home late. Yan Shiyu did not want to ask any questions, but seeing that Tang Xu's expression was strange, she still spoke up: "Why are you so late today?"

"I ran into a little trouble just before I was about to leave work, so I worked overtime for a while and went to the Jiang family mansion, which is why I was delayed."

After Tang Xu finished recounting her itinerary in a rambling manner, she suddenly looked at the man on the sofa who remained a mystery to her.

There were some things she hadn't originally intended to report to him in detail.

But if she is honest enough, can she also get his honesty in return?
Thinking of this, Tang Xu sat down next to him and said, "I saw Jiang Muchen."

Yan Shiyu seemed unsurprised by this, and simply gave a faint "hmm".

Tang Xu looked at the wound on his lip that was almost invisible and laughed, "So you weren't lying to me. He was really more seriously injured than you."

Yan Shiyu seemed surprised that she would say this, and glanced at her with a slight gaze, but a faint smile appeared on her lips.

After a pause, Tang Xucai added, "Jiang Muchen was acting very strangely tonight."

Yan Shiyu clearly didn't want to discuss this issue, and slightly shifted her gaze, but still asked, "What's so strange about it?"

"He actually said that he wanted me to accompany my father abroad for treatment, on the condition that he would voluntarily sign the divorce papers."

Yan Shiyu listened quietly, looked at her silently, and did not express her opinion.

Tang Xu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Both of these points are too strange. They are completely unlike Jiang Muchen's previous behavior. So I'm not sure, and I don't know if he is sincere or if he is up to something again."

Yan Shiyu raised his hand and gently stroked the black hair on her back. "If he didn't have any other motives and genuinely thought this way, what would you do?"

Tang Xu suddenly turned to look at him, "What do you think I should do?"

Yan Shiyu's deep gaze held a hint of tenderness as he simply said, "It's your own business; you decide for yourself."

This is true.

After all, the two of them had reached a consensus just last night that they would not interfere with each other's affairs and matters concerning the Jiang family.

Tang Xu originally thought that this was his final answer.

But unexpectedly, that night, Yan Shiyu gave her a different perspective with his body in bed.

Since the two reconciled, they seemed much more familiar with each other in bed than before, so Tang Xu could clearly sense any slight difference.

A bit cruel.

He hasn't been this ruthless in a long time.

Tang Xu belatedly realized something.

She tilted her head back, followed the curve of his chin, and kissed his lips, whispering, "It's my own business, of course, but what if I want to hear your true thoughts?"

"do not go."

Yan Shiyu said.
