Marriage Seduction Addiction

Tang Xu never expected that the host of the banquet that Meng Liancheng brought her to in this unfamiliar city would be the Qi family.

Even if she had never met Qi Mingyi, she would have heard of the renowned Qi family of Jiangcheng.

Moreover, she had a very deep and good impression of Qi Mingyi.

The daughter of a wealthy family, with a refined and classic appearance, is generous and gentle in her dealings with others, and also pursues her beloved music career...

Such a life is something many people can only envy.

Although they had two brief encounters, Tang Xu never imagined that he would see her again.

Although Qi Mingyi might not even know her, to be honest, Tang Xu was still somewhat swayed.

However, this wavering only lasted a short time. In the end, she changed into the dark green dress that Meng Liancheng had sent her and followed him to the Qi family.

The Qi family mansion is located in the most bustling area of ​​Jiangcheng, a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, with excellent privacy. The usually closed gate is bustling with traffic tonight.

After entering the private section of the road, the vehicles pulled over one by one, and those who got out were all prominent and wealthy figures in Jiangcheng. They were then welcomed into the inner residence by the butler.

Such a grand affair for a private banquet speaks volumes about the Qi family's status.

When Tang Xu was led into the Qi family hall by Meng Liancheng, there were already many guests gathered inside. At a glance, most of them were unfamiliar faces.

However, this sense of unfamiliarity seemed nonexistent for Meng Liancheng, who had been lying in Huai City for over a decade.

He led Tang Xu, greeted many guests, and then came to the hosts of the night—Mr. and Mrs. Qi Tai.

The Qi couple seemed to know him well as well, greeting him with smiles before quickly turning their attention to Tang Xu, "And who is this?"

“One of my great-nieces, Tang Xu,” Meng Liancheng quickly introduced. “Coincidentally, she’s also in Jiangcheng today, so she brought her child along to join in the fun.”

Upon hearing the word "little kid" from him, Tang Xu felt a chill, but her face remained calm as she greeted Mr. and Mrs. Qi Tai in a very cooperative manner: "Mr. and Mrs. Qi, happy wedding anniversary to you both."

Meng Liancheng stood to the side, smiling as they greeted each other. He looked around before saying, "Where is Miss Qi? On such an important day, shouldn't she, as the main witness to the two people's happy marriage, be present?"

Madam Qi covered her mouth and laughed, then said, "She invited some friends over tonight and just went out to pick them up."

Meng Liancheng asked again, "Boyfriend?"

Before Madam Qi could answer, Qi Tai suddenly looked towards the door and said, "They're here."

Everyone around looked toward the gate, and Tang Xu was no exception.

Upon closer inspection, they saw Qi Mingyi leading a girl by the hand and walking briskly forward. With a bright smile, he said to Qi Tai and his wife, "Mom and Dad, Wanwan is here."

"Happy wedding anniversary, Uncle and Aunt!" It was clear that the girl named Wanwan had a good relationship with Qi Mingyi. She greeted Qi Tai and his wife with a smile, and then the two of them huddled together and whispered to each other.

Just then, Qi Mingyi's gaze suddenly fell on Tang Xu, and for a moment, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes. "Who is this?"

"Hello, Miss Qi." Although they had met twice before, this was the first time Tang Xu had spoken to her. "My name is Tang Xu."

"Hello, Miss Tang." Qi Mingyi continued to sized her up, then smiled and said, "Have we met somewhere before? You look very familiar."

"Yes, we've met before." Tang Xu smiled slightly and said, "We've ridden in the elevator together twice, but we never greeted each other."

"I see." Qi Mingyi nodded quickly and said, "Thank you for coming to my parents' banquet. Have fun!"

Tang Xu smiled and nodded.

As Tang Xu turned to walk towards the area where the guests were gathered, she heard Meng Liancheng whisper again: "You know Miss Qi, how come you've never mentioned her?"

"I've only met Miss Qi, I don't know her personally." Tang Xu's expression was indifferent. "How can she compare to Mr. Meng, who is so adept at social maneuvering in Jiangcheng?"

She wasn't exaggerating at all.

Meng Liancheng was even more at ease among these guests than he was in Huai City. It seemed that everyone knew him and could chat with him.

Tang Xu followed behind him, seemingly invisible, yet Meng Liancheng insisted on introducing her to the others present. After shaking hands with one stranger after another, Tang Xu still didn't know the purpose of being brought there.

Until Meng Liancheng led her to the small garden at the back.

In the small garden, a man of about thirty years old sat alone at a garden table, a cigarette between his fingers, seemingly lost in thought.

Meng Liancheng stepped forward and greeted him, "Mr. Yu, why are you sitting here all alone?"

Mr. Yu suddenly came to his senses, first glancing at him, and then his gaze fell on Tang Xu.

With just one glance, Tang Xu noticed that Mr. Yu was clearly taken aback the moment he saw her.

At that moment, Tang Xu knew she had found the answer—

This person was the reason Meng Liancheng brought her here.

Seeing Mr. Yu's gaze fixed on Tang Xu, Meng Liancheng quickly said, "Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yu Muyao, and Mr. Yu, this is my niece, Tang Xu."

The moment Yu Muyao heard Tang Xu's name, the shock in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by calmness and composure.

Even so, he still stood up and greeted Tang Xu: "Hello, Miss Tang."

"Hello, Mr. Yu."

Meng Liancheng said, "The scenery in this garden is really nice. Mr. Yu really knows how to pick a place. I'll go get two glasses of wine. Tang Xu, why don't you keep Mr. Yu company for a while?"

After saying that, he turned and walked into the room, leaving Tang Xu and Yu Muyao alone.

Tang Xu followed his retreating figure with her gaze. When she turned back, she found Yu Muyao looking at her, and then looked away the moment she looked over.

After a moment of awkward silence, Yu Muyao finally spoke: "Miss Tang, please have a seat."

"Thank you." Tang Xu nodded slightly and sat down as instructed.

“I don’t think I’ve seen you before,” Yu Muyao said.

"Yes, I'm not from Jiangcheng. I just flew here from Huai City today," Tang Xu replied.

Yu Muyao nodded. "I see."

The conversation seemed to have reached a dead end.

If you really want to talk, you can always start a new topic.

Unfortunately, Yu Muyao didn't seem interested in this, and Tang Xu's mind was also elsewhere.

She kept glancing towards the interior, but not at Meng Liancheng; she was looking for Qi Mingyi.

Seeing Qi Mingyi moving among the guests, she felt inexplicably at ease.

When Qi Mingyi's figure disappeared from her sight, she felt a sense of unease.

It was a subconscious emotion; Tang Xu knew it was wrong, but she just couldn't control it.

Just as she realized she should do something to distract herself and was about to strike up a conversation with Yu Muyao, Qi Mingyi appeared in her sight once again.

But this time, her appearance failed to give Tang Xu a sense of security.

Because she saw more than just Qi Mingyi.

There was also a man whom Qi Mingyi led towards Qi Tai and his wife with a smile.

A man steadily walking forward, almost meeting the gaze of all the guests.

A man she hadn't seen in a long time and didn't want to see again. (End of Chapter)
