Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 221

After listening to Tang Xu's words, Yan Shiyu remained silent for a moment before speaking: "If you don't want to involve me, what about you?"

Tang Xu looked up at him. "This was originally my own business. I can... I must handle it myself."

"Hmm." Yan Shiyu responded softly, then looked at her and said, "But I can't."

Tang Xu was slightly taken aback. "What?"

“I can’t let you handle this yourself, facing such danger and people alone.” Yan Shiyu once again placed her hand to his lips and whispered.

Tang Xu paused again, speechless for a moment.

“Yaoyao, you’re not alone,” Yan Shiyu said slowly. “You still have me.”

In that instant, Tang Xu's tears welled up uncontrollably once again.

This time, just as tears welled up in her eyes, Yan Shiyu gently stroked the corner of her eye and then kissed her softly.

Tang Xu choked up slightly before saying, "You don't have to go to this lengths for me."

"It was my own choice."

He said.

……

It was already night when we got back to Huai City.

Just as the car entered the underground parking lot of Yujing Bay, Yan Shiyu's phone suddenly rang.

Tang Xu then realized that his phone hadn't rung at all during the entire night and day.

In other words, for those twenty-odd hours, they belonged entirely to each other.

She was momentarily overwhelmed with emotion, and quietly leaned back in her seat, watching him answer the phone.

It seemed to be Gao Yan on the other end of the phone, reporting something to Yan Shiyu that needed his attention.

Yan Shiyu directly instructed the driver to drive the car to the elevator in the building and told Tang Xu to go up and get some rest.

Tang Xu nodded obediently.

After sitting in the car for nearly twenty hours, she felt sore and her whole body was about to fall apart.

But after going upstairs and taking a shower, Tang Xu simply sat down on the sofa.

She picked up her laptop and opened the dark web again.

The Shao family is located overseas, and ordinary people cannot find out about Shao Qingyun's affairs, nor do they dare to use ordinary people. The only way is to search for useful people and information through the dark web.

When Yan Shiyu returned, it was already past midnight.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Tang Xu still sitting on the sofa.

She was still holding her laptop, but she had already turned her head and fallen asleep.

Yan Shiyu slowly stepped forward, gently removed the computer from her lap, and then reached out to lift her up from the sofa.

Tang Xu woke up suddenly, opened her eyes and glanced at him, but quickly closed them again and leaned back into his arms.

Yan Shiyu carried Tang Xu into the bedroom and placed her on the bed.

Tang Xu's hand was still gripping the collar of his suit, and she didn't let go for a moment.

Yan Shiyu didn't touch her hand, but just let her hold him and lay down with her.

Once Tang Xu's breathing had returned to normal, Yan Shiyu leaned forward slightly and kissed the corner of her lips. Then, he carefully removed her hand from his body, got up, and returned to the living room.

Tang Xu's computer was still on, and Yan Shiyu could see the contents of it at a glance.

It's about Shao Qingyun.

These materials were not unfamiliar to Yan Shiyu.

On the day Tang Xu met Tang Lan, most of the publicly available information about Shao Qingyun had already been sent to his email address. In addition, some confidential information that was unknown to outsiders had also arrived in the past two days.

He could have investigated these things a million times easier than she could, but she insisted on doing it herself to avoid dragging him into it.

She's strong, has great drive, and can be adorably silly at times. Yan Shiyu picked up Tang Xu's computer, logged into her own cloud account, and filled in the missing data on the computer.

Just as Tang Xu didn't want him involved, he also didn't want Tang Xu involved in these matters.

But as Tang Xu said, this was her business, something she had to do.

She couldn't help but participate.

He was the same.

……

The next evening, the Logistics Association held a semi-public event. Tang Xu originally didn't want to go, but she had already agreed to go early in the morning. As the time approached, she finally mustered her energy and went to the hotel to participate in the event.

Traffic was congested on the road, and Tang Xu arrived quite late.

She hurriedly stepped into the elevator and was about to press the close button when she suddenly heard a voice outside say, "Please wait a moment." Immediately afterward, she saw a bodyguard-like person stop the elevator and wait for the people behind.

Although Tang Xu was in a hurry, she wasn't in a rush. She stepped back slightly to make room for the people getting on the elevator behind her.

However, when the person she was about to ride with appeared at the elevator door, Tang Xu suddenly froze.

He was a middle-aged man, not very tall, with an average build, and some normal degree of hair loss. He was wearing an unremarkable tracksuit, the kind of ordinary middle-aged man who could disappear into a crowd at any moment.

But Tang Xu knew who he was.

She had seen his photo on her computer earlier today.

Shao Qingyun.

For a moment, it felt as if the blood in Tang Xu's entire body had stopped flowing.

She held her breath, staring intently at the man in front of her who nodded slightly to her as he entered the elevator, her gaze almost fixed on him.

Perhaps her gaze was too abrupt, because one of Shao Qingyun's bodyguards glanced at her again, but Shao Qingyun seemed not to notice anything and did not react at all.

Tang Xu was heading to the banquet hall on the fifth floor. The elevator quickly stopped and opened its doors.

Shao Qingyun's bodyguard turned slightly to the side, looking at Tang Xu warily.

Tang Xu had already regained her composure, and numbly brushed past Shao Qingyun without giving him another glance.

Shao Qingyun, however, looked up at Tang Xu's back as the elevator doors slowly closed.

Tang Xu took a few steps before turning back again.

The elevator doors had already closed, and it continued to ascend.

Tang Xu's gaze lingered on the floor display, and finally, the elevator stopped on the 27th floor.

The 27th floor should be the hotel's executive floor.

Tang Xu stood there for a while, then turned and walked into the stairwell.

She stood in the empty stairwell, leaning against the wall, her back slightly bent, taking deep breaths.

I feel terrible, so terrible.

The feeling was almost suffocating.

I feel so powerless and in so much pain.

She paused for a long time until her phone suddenly rang in the empty, silent space.

Tang Xu answered the phone almost instinctively and softly said "hello".

On the other end of the phone was Yan Shiyu. After hearing her voice, he was silent for two seconds before speaking, "Did you see Shao Qingyun?"

His men had actually been following her and protecting her, so they naturally saw Shao Qingyun enter the same elevator as her.

After a long while, Tang Xu finally responded softly.

"Yaoyao, calm down and don't do anything."

“Yes, I know,” Tang Xu said.
