Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 236

After taking a shower, although her nerves were still tense, her body was much more relaxed, so Tang Xu tried her best to relax as a whole.

She had just stepped out of the bathroom when she heard Yan Shiyu making a phone call in the living room.

His words were simple, but even after a few brief replies, it was clear that it was a work call.

In an instant, Tang Xu's body, which had just relaxed a little, suddenly tensed up again.

Yan Shiyu hung up the phone and turned around to see Tang Xu standing behind him, looking at him.

Seeing that he had ended the call, Tang Xu quickly stepped forward and asked a question she had just overlooked: "Is your work in New York finished?"

Seeing her nervous expression, Yan Shiyu slowly replied, "Not yet."

"Then why did you come back?" Tang Xu asked immediately. "Won't there be problems with the company if you come back like this? Won't there be problems with Grandpa Yan? Does he know you're coming? What if he finds out and makes you suffer the consequences?"

When she asked these questions, Yan Shiyu didn't answer; instead, she slowly smiled.

"Why do you think I came back?" Yan Shiyu asked.

Tang Xu paused for a moment before asking him, "Then why did you come back?"

Yan Shiyu did not answer, but lowered his head again, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her lips.

Tang Xu sat on his lap, feeling his kisses, and her somewhat chaotic heart finally showed signs of calming down.

She should trust him.

He must have taken care of all the relevant matters before returning, because with his temperament, he wouldn't fall into the same trap twice.

But even after convincing herself with such reasons, it still took her a long time for her heartbeat to return to normal.

When Yan Shiyu finally pulled away from her lips, Tang Xu was still pressed forehead to forehead with him, breathing slightly heavily, and whispered, "Don't do this again next time."

"Next time?" Yan Shiyu asked in a deep voice, "What kind?"

"Don't do anything risky for me," Tang Xu said. "Anyway, I'll be fine. No matter what happens, you must take care of yourself first."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu kissed her again before whispering, "What would you do if something happened to me?"

Tang Xu exchanged a glance with him and quickly replied, "Then I will definitely take care of myself first."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu's eyes lit up with a smile once again. He whispered "Very good," and then sealed her lips with his once more.

The two whispered sweet nothings to each other for a long time until Tang Xu's phone suddenly rang, breaking the tranquility and warmth of the room.

The moment Tang Xu picked up her phone, her expression changed.

It was a message from Tang Lan, asking her to meet up as usual.

Tang Xu put down her phone and then looked at Yan Shiyu, asking, "Tang Lan is back?"

Yan Shiyu responded with a faint "yes".

"When?" Tang Xu asked again.

"Yesterday evening."

Tang Xu couldn't help but shake her head slightly. "Don't tell her she came back because of me." Yan Shiyu didn't answer again, but that was already an admission.

Tang Xu was quiet for a moment, then suddenly couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh right, of course she didn't come back because of me. She came back purely because of... Meng Liancheng, right?"

Some things are almost a foregone conclusion. Even though Tang Xu didn't fully know the inside story before, now that he knows even Tang Lan has returned, things have a very clear direction—

Who else but Meng Liancheng could make Tang Lan act so recklessly?
Thinking of this, Tang Xu stood up from Yan Shiyu's arms and said, "I'm going to see her. I really want to hear... what else she can say this time."

……

An hour later, Tang Xu met Tang Lan in the hotel's coffee shop.

Compared to last time, Tang Lan's mental state seemed to be not very good at this moment. She sat there quietly, and her expression revealed a hint of desolation.

Tang Xu slowly stepped forward and sat down opposite her.

Tang Lan seemed to snap out of her daze. The moment she saw her, she was so excited that tears almost welled up in her eyes. She reached out to grasp Tang Xu's hand, "Yao Yao, you're here..."

Tang Xu didn't let her touch his hand, and quickly put it under the table.

Tang Lan's hand missed its target. She froze for a moment before slowly withdrawing her hand and whispering, "You're alright, that's great..."

Tang Xu lowered her head and straightened her skirt before speaking, "Would Mr. Meng also think it's a good idea?"

Tang Lan paused for a moment before forcing a smile, "Yao Yao, what are you saying?"

"Don't you know what I'm talking about?" Tang Xu slowly raised his eyes to look at her.

Tang Lan opened her mouth, but after a moment, she shook her head. "I don't know."

Tang Xu couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. "Last time I was with him, I called you, and you seemed to have something to say, but in the end, you didn't say anything. And even today, you still don't plan to say anything, right?"

Tang Lan lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "Yao Yao, I don't know what misunderstanding you have, but he and I... are just ordinary friends, there's nothing to say."

Tang Xu was not surprised by this answer, nor did she feel disappointed.

“Since you won’t say it, then I’ll say it for you, how about that?” Tang Xu said.

“Yaoyao…” Tang Lan looked at her and couldn’t help but shake her head gently, her eyes seeming to be begging Tang Xu not to say anything.

But Tang Xu still slowly opened her mouth—

"You two are not just ordinary friends, you are ex-lovers."

Tang Lan continued to shake her head, but her gaze never met Tang Xu's again.

Tang Xu continued, "I don't know when your relationship started, whether it was before or after your marriage. But I know that you love him, you love him very much—so after he fell into a coma in the car accident, you refused to accept the fact and left Huai City. You never came back for so many years until he woke up, and you finally couldn't hold back and came back to see him."

"No, no..." Tang Lan murmured, denying it, but her voice was almost inaudible even to herself.

Tang Xu continued, "Who knew it would be such a coincidence that he woke up in the very place where Dad was hospitalized. He saw you meeting Dad, which greatly shocked him. He believed you still had feelings for Dad, so he chose to attack him—"

"No! No!" Tang Lan suddenly became agitated as she spoke, looking up at Tang Xu and firmly denying it. "That's not true!"

"Is that so?" Tang Xu met her gaze and spoke calmly, "If that's not the case, then please tell me, what exactly happened?"
