Marriage Seduction Addiction

Yu Muyao didn't seem surprised that Tang Xu would come in, and because of this, his dismissive attitude was even greater than before.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xu didn't say much to him. After smiling and putting down the pack of cigarettes, she turned and walked away.

In the large banquet hall, guests gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing. Tang Xu didn't know anyone and wasn't shameless enough to join them, so she walked straight to the French windows.

With this turn, he once again passed by the small circle where Yan Shiyu and Qi Mingyi were.

Tang Xu didn't look at it for long, nor did she linger.

Yan Shiyu's gaze remained fixed on her, just as it had when she walked over, following her all the way.

Qi Mingyi, who was standing next to him, noticed something and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know Miss Tang, who is from Huai City?"

Yan Shiyu responded calmly, "I know him."

His eyes were deep and calm, and his tone revealed no emotion. Qi Mingyi was about to ask something when he suddenly heard the person next to him chuckle and say, "Miss Tang, Mr. Yan is more than just an acquaintance; they were relatives before, weren't they?"

A huge display shelf stands by the floor-to-ceiling window, displaying all kinds of collectibles, accompanied by vibrant green plants, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and rustic.

Tang Xu stood alone in front of the display shelf, pausing to look up.

Yan Shiyu slowly withdrew her gaze, then heard Qi Mingyi ask curiously, "Were you relatives before? What do you mean?"

“Miss Tang doesn’t appear in public much, so you don’t know her, Mingyi,” the other party replied on behalf of Yan Shiyu. “But she is Jiang Muchen’s ex-wife, the former young mistress of the Jiang family… Now that that relationship is gone, isn’t she just ‘relatives from the past’?”

Qi Mingyi then understood, turned to look at Yan Shiyu, and asked, "Since you know each other, is it appropriate not to say hello?"

"It's not Mr. Yan's place to take the initiative," the man said again. "After all, Mr. Yan still has the status of an elder here. That Miss Tang didn't even bother to come up and greet him. It's clear she's clueless. Just because she's no longer a member of the Jiang family doesn't mean she doesn't give face to the Yan family. She's really ignorant."

Qi Mingyi was interrupted twice by this person when he tried to speak to Yan Shiyu, and hearing him talk about others behind their backs made him feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Yan Shiyu finally replied, "No need to force yourself."

Qi Mingyi then laughed again and said, "That's true. I suppose that Miss Tang also felt awkward seeing you, which is why she didn't greet you. In that case, let's not make others feel awkward."

Yan Shiyu smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Tang Xu stood there for a long time until the banquet officially began.

Long tables were lined up in the hall, and all the guests were important people. They took their seats.

Tang Xu silently chose to sit in the very last seat. As her "guide," Meng Liancheng had no choice but to come to her side and sit with her at the very end.

"What kind of method is this?" Meng Liancheng asked with a smile as he sat down. "A strategic retreat? Do you think this will attract Yu Muyao's attention?"

"If I needed to do something deliberately to get his attention, you wouldn't have needed to bring me here today, right?" Tang Xu spread the handkerchief on her skirt and asked in return.

Meng Liancheng chuckled, "You are indeed a smart girl. I was right about you."

Tang Xu slowly raised her eyes, her gaze passing over Yu Muyao, who was sitting at the middle of the long table, and looking directly in the direction of her host.

Qi Tai and his wife sat side by side, with their beloved daughter Qi Mingyi, the fruit of their marriage and love, on their left and right.

Beside Qi Mingyi was Yan Shiyu, who had attracted the most attention tonight.

At this moment, he lowered his eyes slightly, listening quietly to what Qi Mingyi was saying.

Meng Liancheng looked ahead, his gaze also falling on Yan Shiyu, and slowly said, "What an unexpected combination."

Tang Xu said slowly, "Among all the people here, perhaps only you, Mr. Meng, think this way?"

Meng Liancheng chuckled and said, "Do you believe there are perfect men in the world?"

Tang Xu didn't bother to answer a single word.

Meng Liancheng continued, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings, "This Mr. Yan has an almost perfect public image; even the most critical Huai City media outlets haven't uttered a single negative comment—a near-perfect man combined with an impeccable woman—such a story is rather dull. What do you think?" (End of Chapter)
