Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 238 Will you get jealous?
Jiang Beiheng was still a patient after all. He had to treat his illness while also managing the Jiang family business behind the scenes for Jiang Muchen. He already had enough to worry about, and Tang Xu really didn't want him to be distracted by her affairs.

Therefore, after accompanying Jiang Beiheng into the house, Tang Xu quickly tried to change the subject.

Jiang Beiheng took this matter to heart and said to Tang Xu, "Don't worry, he is still alive in this world. People leave traces when they live, and someone will eventually know his true colors. We will also be able to find out his true purpose."

"Dad," Tang Xu couldn't help but call out to him, "I just mentioned it casually that day. It's really not that important, and you don't need to take it to heart. After what happened before, I'm a bit tired and don't want to think about these things for the time being."

Jiang Beiheng could easily tell that she was trying to change the subject. After a faint smile, he simply said, "You know it's best to relax. Don't make yourself too tired."

"Don't worry," Tang Xu said, "I'll take good care of myself."

The two quickly changed the subject, and before long it was time for Jiang Beiheng to take his medicine.

Tang Xu personally watched him finish taking his medicine. Seeing that the drinking water upstairs was almost gone, she went downstairs to the kitchen to pour water for Jiang Beiheng.

She didn't see that just as she entered the kitchen, Jiang Muchen walked in from the front door, his face gloomy as he went upstairs.

Just as Tang Xu finished pouring the water and was about to prepare a small portion of fruit for Jiang Beiheng, Yingjie suddenly rushed in from outside the kitchen, "Mu Chen is back, and as soon as he got back, he went upstairs and started arguing with the master."

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then closed the refrigerator door, turned around, and walked out.

As soon as she reached the second floor, she heard Jiang Muchen's voice, tinged with slight anger—

"...I can bear the consequences of all my decisions, and I don't need your criticism behind my back! When things develop to the point where I need to leave the Jiang family, I will turn around and leave without hesitation. Don't let me know that you are doing anything behind my back!"

After saying this, Jiang Muchen slammed the door and left, coming face to face with Tang Xu in the corridor.

Their eyes met, and the anger in his gaze seemed to freeze for a moment before he looked away, walked straight past Tang Xu, went downstairs, and left the Jiang family.

Tang Xu listened to the sound of him leaving, but did not turn around. She simply walked slowly forward and entered Jiang Beiheng's house.

The father and son have always been at odds, especially referring more to Jiang Muchen's attitude towards Jiang Beiheng.

Therefore, Jiang Beiheng seemed to have long been used to this kind of thing happening. His expression was very calm, and when he looked up at Tang Xu, he only smiled faintly.

Tang Xu shrugged helplessly and said, "I was going to prepare some fruit for you to help relieve the taste of the medicine in your mouth, but it seems you can't eat it now?"

"Eat, why not eat?" Jiang Beiheng said. "I still have so many things to do, of course I have to treat myself well."

Because of this unexpected incident, Tang Xu stayed for another half an hour, until Jiang Beiheng wanted to rest before she left.

She drove out the door, completely unaware that Jiang Muchen's car was quietly parked on the side of the street outside. It wasn't until her car drove out that the other car started up and slowly followed her.

It was Saturday, and Tang Xu was originally going back to Royal Bay.

However, halfway through the journey, she suddenly received a call from Yan Shiyu.

"Come to my place for a moment," Yan Shiyu said to her over the phone.

Tang Xu paused for a moment before saying, "It's Saturday today, I have to go back."

"It'll only be a little while," Yan Shiyu said. "It won't take up much time."

He rarely made such a request to her, so Tang Xu hesitated for only two seconds before agreeing.

On the other end of the phone, Yan Shiyu put down her phone and looked up to meet Duan Siwei's disdainful gaze.

"What does this mean?" Duan Siwei asked. "Jiang Muchen knows about your relationship... Is it really necessary to be so hurtful and hurtful? Why did you have to call Tang Xu over to show him?"

Duan Siwei had been watching the show with an air of detached amusement until he noticed Yan Shiyu's gaze on him. Only then did he suddenly realize something. "What do you mean? You're not going to kick me out again because Tang Xuyi is coming, are you? Yan Shiyu, you can't be so fickle, prioritizing romance over friendship!"

Yan Shiyu ignored him and turned to call the butler, instructing him to send up a bowl of nourishing medicinal porridge.

Seeing this, Duan Siwei breathed a slight sigh of relief. After a pause, he couldn't help but mutter, "That's why women are so troublesome. Look at you, you insisted on making things difficult for yourself. Having another woman has only brought you so much trouble! One minute it's Jiang Muchen, the next it's Meng Liancheng—"

Mentioning Meng Liancheng, Yan Shiyu looked up at him again and said, "You need to keep a closer eye on Meng Liancheng."

"Really?" Duan Siwei sat up slightly upon hearing this and said, "Isn't Meng Liancheng only targeting Tang Lan? Now that Tang Lan has submitted to him, he shouldn't be able to harm Tang Xu anymore... Otherwise, wouldn't he be pushing Tang Lan away again?"

Yan Shiyu said calmly, "If things were really that simple, that would be great. Some things, if he's capable of doing them once, he'll do them again. I won't let him succeed this time."

Duan Siwei immediately slumped back onto the sofa, feeling utterly deflated. "I told you it's troublesome, it really is extremely troublesome!"

About twenty minutes later, Tang Xu went upstairs.

Upon entering, Tang Xu paused for a moment upon seeing Duan Siwei there, before turning to Yan Shiyu and asking, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

Yan Shiyu got up and walked to the bar, handing Tang Xu the medicinal porridge that the butler had just brought over. "You probably didn't eat properly again tonight?"

Tang Xu reached out and took it, feeling a warm glow in her heart, but she couldn't help but be suspicious. "You called me up here just for this? Shouldn't the normal thing to do is to have the driver bring it to me?"

However, she quickly contradicted herself after asking the question—

Just as his presence at Royal Bay would attract attention, his driver's presence there would likely also be spotted by those with ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, Tang Xu smiled at him and said, "Okay, I'll go back and eat. I'll be going now."

Today we say goodbye. Tang Xu originally wanted to hug him, but when she turned her head slightly, she saw Duan Siwei sitting on the sofa staring at her without blinking, as if he wanted to watch the whole thing.

Tang Xu glanced at him, then quickly looked away, and then raised her face to give Yan Shiyu a kiss.

"Good night," she said.

A faint smile appeared on Yan Shiyu's lips, and she nodded gently.

Behind him, Duan Siwei slumped on the sofa, wishing he could gouge his own eyes out.

……

At the same time, at the main gate of Qiushuitai.

Jiang Muchen's driver parked the car across the street, looked up at the Qiushuitai security personnel who were walking over for the second time, and could only nervously push open the door and get out of the car to deal with them.

The security guard remained unyielding, repeating the same line: "Sorry, parking is not allowed here. Please leave immediately."

"I'll be there soon, don't worry, it won't affect the residents at all."

This time, however, the security guards did not turn around and leave. Instead, they stood still, as if they would not give up until they saw him drive away.

The driver explained the situation several times, but ultimately there was no other way. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and return to the suffocatingly cold interior of the carriage.

"Mr. Jiang, it's really difficult to park here," the driver said softly, not daring to look at Jiang Muchen's expression. "How about I drive around and come back later..."

In the back seat, Jiang Muchen kept looking out the window, and outside were the two iconic buildings of Qiushuitai—

The balconies, layer upon layer, are brightly lit, but at this very moment, under which beam of light will Tang Xu be?
It was a strange night, a spur-of-the-moment decision to follow her, that led me here, where I witnessed her car pass through security and drive into the underground parking garage.

Knowing something is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is quite another. Just like now.

Seeing that the car remained stationary after the driver got in, the security guard standing outside the car reached out and knocked on the window.

The driver quickly rolled down the window, and was about to apologize again when he suddenly heard Jiang Muchen say coldly, "Get out of the way."

The security guard was clearly taken aback for a moment, then bent down and asked, "What did you say?"

After saying this, he realized that the person sitting in the car was Jiang Muchen. For a moment, the security guard was stunned again.

Jiang Muchen's icy gaze swept over him, and he paused slightly. The next moment, he actually took a step back involuntarily.

It was those few steps back that allowed Jiang Muchen to see Tang Xu's car once again.

Yes, Tang Xu came out again less than ten minutes after she went in.

The driver also saw Tang Xu's car and breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but turn to look at Jiang Muchen, waiting for his signal, "Mr. Jiang?"

However, Jiang Muchen said nothing.

He watched Tang Xu's taillights disappear into the night, but his gaze lingered on the two buildings in front of him for a long time.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered what Tang Lan had said—

“You definitely know her better than I do; you know how to get her to leave.”

Yes, he does understand her, and he knows how to make her leave.

But, is it really necessary to do this?

……

Tang Xu was completely unaware of what had happened outside Qiushuitai that night.

The next afternoon, she came to Qiushuitai again. Just as she was about to drive into the parking lot, she was suddenly blocked by a car that came from the opposite direction.

The two cars nearly collided, and Tang Xu was slightly annoyed, but she could only suppress her anger.

Unexpectedly, the car that had already driven in front of her suddenly reversed a little, and the driver rolled down the window and called out to her in surprise, "Sister?"

The familiar "sister" made Tang Xu momentarily dazed. She looked up and was surprised to see Meng Tianyou.

Meng Tianyou immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road and got out to knock on Tang Xu's car window. Then he opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. "Sister, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you as soon as I got back to the country."

Tang Xu still vividly remembered how he had rejected her last time, and coupled with his status as a member of the Meng family, she felt a mix of emotions.

Meng Tianyou, however, acted as if nothing had happened, treating her as before, saying, "We really are destined to be together!"

Tang Xu snapped out of her daze and asked, "How did you end up here?"

"My friend lives here, I came to visit him," Meng Tianyou said. "What about you, sister? Do you live here too?"

"No, I'm here to visit a friend too." Tang Xu smiled, then asked, "When did you return to China?"

“Yesterday,” Meng Tianyou said, “I was thinking of having time to invite you to dinner, but I didn’t expect to run into you today. Well, there’s nothing I can do, sister, you have to give me some time, even if it’s just to welcome me back.”

Tang Xu tapped her fingers lightly on the steering wheel, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "When are you free?"

“Anytime,” Meng Tianyou said. “I’m free tonight.”

"Didn't you make plans with your friends?" Tang Xu asked.

“Then don’t worry about it,” Meng Tianyou said. “Just tell me when you’re free.”

Tang Xu thought for a moment and said, "How about tonight? I'll find a restaurant and let you know."

Meng Tianyou smiled broadly, "It's a deal!"

He happily got out of the car, said "See you tonight" to Tang Xu, and then got back into his own car.

Tang Xu entered the parking lot and quickly parked her car in her usual spot. She sat in the car for a long time until there were no more cars or people in the parking lot before she opened the door, got out, and quickly walked into the elevator.

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Tang Xu quickly heard a phone call coming from the study; Yan Shiyu must be busy.

Tang Xu returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, opened her phone and searched for a while before quickly finding a restaurant's number and dialing it.

It's common for many restaurants to be fully booked on weekends. Tang Xu made two phone calls but couldn't get a reservation. It wasn't until the third restaurant that he finally managed to make a reservation.

She had just hung up the phone when Yan Shiyu's calm voice suddenly came from behind her: "Is it that important who you invite to dinner?"

Tang Xu was startled. She turned around and saw the man who had come out of the study at some point. She pursed her lips and then smiled. "A friend."

"Didn't Lu Xingyan already leave?"

Tang Xu couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that he's my only friend?"

"So who is it?" Yan Shiyu asked.

Tang Xu realized what was happening and said, "Don't try to trick me into saying anything."

"So, it's someone I can't know?" Yan Shiyu asked.

"Yes." Tang Xu leaned back on the sofa, tilting her head back so she could see him. "I was afraid you'd be jealous."

Yan Shiyu walked slowly forward and stood behind her, looking down at her.

Tang Xu then asked, "Would you get jealous?"

"Yes," Yan Shiyu replied.

Tang Xu was slightly taken aback, and when she was about to get up, it was already too late.

Yan Shiyu bent down and, taking advantage of her tilted head back, sealed her lips with his.

This position was actually a bit strenuous for Tang Xu, but she still obediently complied until Yan Shiyu reached out and lifted her up from the sofa, placed her directly on the back of the sofa, changed to a normal position, and lowered his head to kiss her again.

Tang Xu clung to his neck, almost hanging on him, feeling the gentle strength between his lips and teeth. After a long while, she finally separated and looked at him.

"Now?" Tang Xu asked, "Can you stop being jealous now?"

The two remained very close, their breaths mingling, and Tang Xu heard Yan Shiyu's reply—

"not enough."
