Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 264

When Tang Xu returned to London, he looked rather disheveled.

Yingjie was startled when she saw her.

After all, he was fine when he left, but after only two days, he had a head injury, a limp, and his hair was all tangled up, making it seem as if he had been wandering outside for more than half a month.

Tang Xu locked herself in her room and spent two whole hours cleaning herself before finally opening the door and going downstairs.

Yingjie had been worried downstairs for a long time, and was distracted while working. When she saw Tang Xu finally come downstairs, she rushed forward and asked, "What happened? Did you two have a fight because the young master went over there?"

Tang Xu listened but did not reply immediately.

Yingjie was clearly a little guilty, and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to tell him where you were. I thought he was just asking casually, so I just answered casually. I really didn't expect him to come over..."

Hearing Yingjie's anxious tone, Tang Xu let out a slight breath before finally saying, "It has nothing to do with him. Besides, even if you don't say it, he will find out what he wants to know anyway."

Yingjie was clearly taken aback. "Really?"

"Ah."

"So what happened to you?"

"Accident."

The entire experience in Helsinki can be summed up in just two simple words.

The clouds were so light and the breeze so gentle, it was as if nothing had happened.

Of course, nothing actually happened.

……

As summer vacation was coming to an end, Tang Xu took some time to return to Huai City.

Entering the senior year of high school, Song Luobai's school moved to a new campus, which inevitably required both parents and students to readjust.

Although many people would be willing to help if she simply asked, Tang Xu felt it was necessary to go back in person.

Song Luobai spent the entire summer vacation away from home. In just a few months, Tang Xu felt that he had grown taller and his youthful loneliness and thinness seemed to have intensified. When he saw her, he still acted as indifferent as before.

Tang Xu wasn't one to express himself verbally, so after returning, he simply asked him a few questions about his summer vacation before saying, "I've spoken to your school's director. I'll be there the day after tomorrow to help you with your enrollment procedures and set up your dorm."

Upon hearing this, Song Luobai, who was curled up on the sofa playing games, slowly raised her head. "Aren't we supposed to return to school on Saturdays and Sundays?"

“Yes,” Tang Xu said, “but I was afraid I would have already flown to London by then, so I applied for an earlier leave.” Song Luo’s dark pupils seemed devoid of emotion, as if he were deep in thought. After a moment, he asked again, “Is the old man from the Jiang family still not better?”

Tang Xu glanced at him, but didn't answer. She simply sent him off to take a shower.

On Friday, Tang Xu took Song Luobai to the new campus.

Because there are still many students from other places at the school, they are not the only ones who returned to school early, but they are still a minority, so the campus is still very empty.

They were surprised to find that a classmate named Chen Shu had already arrived in Song Luobai's dormitory before them. Upon seeing Song Luobai, Chen Shu was astonished, "I thought it would be just me today. I didn't expect you to come and set things up early as well."

"Hmm." Song Luobai responded lightly, found his own bed, and when he turned his gaze to the name written on the bed next to his, his brows furrowed instantly.

"You wouldn't believe it, Ji Shiqing is actually our roommate this semester," Chen Shu said, leaning closer. "There have been quite a few rumors about his family these past two months... I heard his uncle has been missing for a few months now. Guess who will bring him to school tomorrow?"

Song Luobai's breath hitched. She glanced at Tang Xu, who was wiping a chair, and glared at Chen Shu, saying, "Are you crazy? What does his business have to do with you?"

Chen Shu chuckled, "Just curious."

Song Luobai glanced at him again, too lazy to say anything more.

After wiping the chair clean, Tang Xu breathed a slight sigh of relief, sat down, and looked at Song Luobai, saying, "Let's begin."

Song Luobai was taken aback. "Start what?"

"Wipe the table, wipe the cabinets, make the bed." Tang Xu sat calmly watching him. "Do you really think I'd do these things for you?"

Song Luobai opened his mouth, choked for a while before finally uttering a sound: "Then what are you here for?"

"I'm keeping an eye on you," Tang Xu replied frankly.

Chen Shu, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but burst into laughter. Song Luobai couldn't help but glare at him again before resignedly throwing her bedding onto the bed.

Boys always enjoy seeing each other get the short end of the stick. Chen Shu handed Tang Xu a bottle of water with great appreciation and said, "Sister, have some water."

"Thank you."

Tang Xu took the water, took a sip, and casually turned on her phone.

Almost instantly upon opening the screen, a notification popped up—

"Yan Shiyu, CEO of Yan's Group, has not appeared in public for several months, sparking numerous rumors and causing Yan's Group's stock price to plummet..."

Tang Xu glanced at it only once before clearing the notification and going to follow the work group.
