Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 211 Yes, she saved my life.
The four words, spoken so casually, made Tang Xu pause slightly. When she looked up at him again, she suddenly stood up slightly and moved closer to where he was.

Tang Xu looked at him and said, "You wait so long every day, but you can only see me for a short while at most. Don't you mind?"

"Yes, I don't mind," Yan Shiyu said.

"why?"

Yan Shiyu calmly met her gaze, his voice steady and low: "It's good that we can see each other."

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Mr. Yan, are your requirements really that low?"

"Is it that low?" Yan Shiyu said. "So, you'll probably keep fulfilling this request of mine?"

Such a simple sentence, yet it carries the weight of a promise.

A promise about forever.

So Tang Xu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Will there be forever between her and him?
Yan Shiyu clearly saw the dazed look in Tang Xu's eyes.

He didn't say much, nor did he stubbornly wait for her answer; he simply reached out and handed her the chopsticks.

Tang Xu came to her senses, took the chopsticks he handed her, tasted the dish he brought, and looked up with a smile.

“It’s delicious,” she said.

Yan Shiyu looked at her and said gently, "Then eat more."

"Okay," Tang Xu said.

……

In the parking lot downstairs, Gao Yan was sitting in his car scrolling through the news on his phone when he suddenly heard a noise from the car window. He turned around and saw Yan Shiyu. He quickly unlocked the car and let him get in.

To his surprise, only Yan Shiyu got on the bus.

Gao Yan glanced back to make sure Tang Xu wasn't there before turning to Yan Shiyu and asking, "Isn't Miss Tang going to leave work yet?"

"Mm," Yan Shiyu simply replied.

Gao Yan couldn't help but wonder, "What has she been busy with lately? What could possibly keep a freight company so busy?"

He muttered to himself as he started the car, and only after driving it out of the parking lot did he say, "Mr. Duan just called and said he's waiting for you at the winery."

Yan Shiyu responded again, then closed his eyes and said no more.

Gao Yan wasn't sure what he was thinking or feeling at that moment, so he simply stopped talking and drove on quietly.

When the car arrived at the winery, Yan Shiyu opened her eyes on time, got out of the car, and went upstairs.

Pushing open the door to the back room, Duan Siwei opened a bottle of wine, lit a cigarette, and was idly playing on his phone.

Hearing the door open, he didn't bother to turn around, and simply said, "You're here early. I thought you wouldn't show up until after midnight."

Yan Shiyu did not respond to him, but simply sat down opposite him and opened a stack of documents in the middle of the table.

Duan Siwei lazily glanced at his movements and said, "Tang Xu recently retrieved Song Yuting's medical records from the hospital, as well as the surveillance footage from the ward entrance. I don't know what she's going to do with these, but I still found a copy for you, just in case you need it."

After Duan Siwei finished speaking, he tossed a USB drive over.

Yan Shiyu didn't reach out to take it. He simply recalled Tang Xu sitting in the office earlier, intently staring at the computer screen—

Could it be that this is what she was looking at?

"What do you think she's trying to do? Does she suspect there's something fishy about Song Yuting's death?" Duan Siwei sat up slightly and said, "If she has such suspicions, why doesn't she just tell you directly instead of investigating on her own behind your back?"

Duan Siwei had clearly figured out the whole story. Before Yan Shiyu could answer, he directly offered his analysis: "Could it be that she's afraid to tell you? But why wouldn't she dare to tell you? There are so many benefits to telling you, and you can help her so much, so why doesn't she want to do it herself and end up doing all the thankless work?"

"What do you want to say?" Yan Shiyu asked bluntly.

Duan Siwei leaned back on the sofa and stopped beating around the bush. "Could it be that she suspects that Song Yuting's death has something to do with us? Is that why she's going to such lengths to hide it from you and secretly investigate on her own, because she's afraid that if she asks you for help, she'll be even less likely to find out the truth!"

“She won’t,” Yan Shiyu said.

These three confident words made Duan Siwei raise his eyebrows. "What makes you so sure?"

“If she has any doubts, she will ask me directly,” Yan Shiyu said.

Duan Siwei expressed his incomprehension, asking, "If it were you, would you directly go to the suspect you suspect to verify?"

“I can’t,” Yan Shiyu said, “but she can.”

Hearing his certainty about Tang Xu's style of doing things, Duan Siwei frowned and pondered for a while before asking, "Then how do you explain her investigating things behind your back?"

"She has her own considerations."

Duan Siwei couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He inexplicably felt an urge to curse.

Even though Yan Shiyu only said a few simple words, why did he feel like he was being shown up in a blatant display of affection?
He was still unconvinced. "She only started investigating this matter after meeting Jiang Muchen, which means Jiang Muchen was her source of information. That's Jiang Muchen! He hates you so much, he despises Tang Xu so much, why would he kindly provide Tang Xu with such information? I can't think of any other reason besides sowing discord and tormenting you. Are you sure that after Jiang Muchen's manipulation, Tang Xu will still trust you? Why should she trust you? She doesn't even know who you are, where you came from, or where you're going—"

At this point, Duan Siwei suddenly paused, then looked at Yan Shiyu, "You didn't tell her everything, did you?"

Yan Shiyu remained silent for a moment before replying indifferently, "No."

"Then what makes you so sure she trusts you?" Duan Si stood up precariously. "Maybe she's already—"

“I told you, she won’t.”

Yan Shiyu interrupted Duan Siwei directly.

Duan Siwei choked for a moment, and couldn't help but curse in his heart again.

What's going on? Why is it that the more he questions it, the more he gets shown up?

Duan Siwei placed his hands on the table in front of him, leaned forward to look at Yan Shiyu, and said, "For the sake of our many years of relationship, can you tell me clearly why you are so devoted to Tang Xu? Why is she so important, so irreplaceable, so sacred and inviolable? Did she save your life?"

This is Duan Siwei's question, and also a sincere inquiry.

Even though he knew Yan Shiyu was unlikely to answer, he couldn't help but ask anyway.

Because it was so utterly perplexing, even though he wasn't someone who was obsessed with finding answers, he couldn't help but feel anxious and restless because of this unknown answer.

The reason is simply because the person who grasped this answer was Yan Shiyu.

Having endured so much to get to where he is today, why is Yan Shiyu, who is so calm, rational, indifferent, and lonely, caught up in such feelings for Tang Xu?
However, unexpectedly, this time, Yan Shiyu actually gave him an answer—

"Yes, she saved my life."
