Marriage Seduction Addiction

When Tang Xu regained consciousness, the first thing that entered her mind was a series of unfamiliar bird calls and insect chirps.

Such a sound is almost inaudible in the city, so much so that when she heard it, her brain didn't process it for a long time, and she thought she was dreaming.

until……

A hand gently stroked her head.

It was so familiar yet so strange, so incredibly gentle, yet also incredibly painful.

In an instant, Tang Xu was pulled back to reality from her daze.

She suddenly opened her eyes and was greeted by a simply furnished room. The air was completely unfamiliar. The curtains were drawn back, revealing green trees outside the window. The sounds of birds chirping and insects chirping seemed to become clearer because of the greenery.

Tang Xu stared blankly at the window for a few seconds before finally turning her gaze away and looking at the man sitting on the edge of the bed.

Even though they had just met last night, Yan Shiyu was still a stranger to Tang Xu at this moment.

They hadn't been face to face like this in such a quiet way for far too long.

Tang Xu clearly remembered what he looked like, but looking at him up close, she felt that the person in front of her—his eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose…—was completely unfamiliar.

It was as if she had never truly known him.

Facing Tang Xu's unfamiliar gaze, Yan Shiyu seemed completely oblivious, still gently stroking her head, lowering his head, his voice still deep and husky, but his tone gentle, "Awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Tang Xu did not answer.

She avoided his hand, forced herself to sit up, pressed her palms to her eyes, and remained motionless for a long time.

Yan Shiyu's hand froze in mid-air. He could have reached out and touched her again, but he didn't move. His gaze lingered on her for a long time before he finally withdrew his hand little by little.

Much later, Tang Xu seemed to have sorted out his body and thoughts, and raised his head again.

"Where is Meng Liancheng?" she asked.

Yan Shiyu's gaze never left her face for a moment. Upon hearing this, he simply replied calmly, "In the ending he deserved."

Tang Xu's gaze flickered slightly, and for a moment he couldn't utter another word.

She clearly hated Meng Liancheng so much, and wished he were dead, but it shouldn't be like this...

Things shouldn't have turned out this way!
Tang Xu suddenly threw off the covers and got out of bed, barefoot, about to walk towards the door, but Yan Shiyu stopped her with a wave of his hand.

Her body was extremely weak, yet she still fought against Yan Shiyu for quite a while. Knowing that she couldn't overcome him, she stubbornly clung to his sleeve, refusing to fall or retreat.

"Do you think Meng Liancheng is some nameless, faceless vagrant?" Tang Xu looked up, her eyes slightly red with emotion. "Do you think that if something happens to him, no one will care, no one will help? I was the one who had contact with him, and I was the last person he saw. Do you think this matter can be so easily covered up? I had already calculated everything, and this matter could have been resolved. Why did you show up? Why did you do all this unnecessary work, disrupting my plans? Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to do this for me? What gives you the right to interfere in my life like this—"

The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. From beginning to end, Yan Shiyu simply watched her quietly until she finally could no longer utter a sound. Only then did he reach out and pull her tightly into his arms.

“You don’t need to worry about any of those things,” Yan Shiyu said. “No one will trace it back to you, and no one will affect you. I did everything, and I will bear all the consequences.”

Hearing him finish speaking in a calm tone, Tang Xu felt a headache coming on again.

No...it's not that simple...

She spent so much time planning before finally finding a near-perfect solution...

But why can he say such things so casually?

Tang Xu couldn't understand it.

She only knew that things shouldn't have turned out this way.

From any perspective, this should not have been the outcome.

What she has to do and what consequences she has to bear are all her own business.

But his meddling changed everything, completely changed everything...

This is not a situation she can handle right now.

She had exhausted all her energy for last night, and was just waiting for relief, which would be the end of the whole thing.

But now, things have become complicated once again... Tang Xu was unable to withstand such an impact and finally fainted again.

Yan Shiyu quickly picked her up and placed her back on the bed.

In a hazy state, Tang Xu saw him fetch the IV fluids, open a pack of IV needles, and skillfully and carefully insert the needle into her vein...

She still wanted to struggle, still wanted to say something, but in the end, she fell back into a deep sleep.

……

When I woke up again, it was already dark.

She was alone in the room at that moment.

Tang Xu was in a daze for a moment. Just as she was about to get up, she heard a noise coming from the doorway.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Shiyu walked in.

Seeing that she was awake, a smile appeared on his lips. He stepped forward and said to her in a low voice, "You're awake? I made some noodles. Would you like some?"

Tang Xu lay there somewhat dazedly, without answering.

Seeing her like this, Yan Shiyu didn't say anything more, and quickly got up and left the room.

Tang Xu then sat up and walked step by step to the window.

The night was dark, and apart from the shadows of the trees, nothing could be seen outside, but it was clear that this was not the city center.

Tang Xu turned and walked towards the door, opened it, and went out.

Before her stood an unremarkable two-story building. Passing through the small living room on the second floor, she was already at the top of the stairs.

The whole house was extremely quiet; the only sound was the clatter of dishes coming from the kitchen.

It seemed like there were only the two of them in the house.

There were only the two of them around.

This feeling made Tang Xu uneasy.

After such a major event, how could she and he possibly be in such a peaceful situation?

She turned and hurriedly went into the room, searching around, but couldn't find her phone or any other means of communication.

She quickly went downstairs again and searched around while Yan Shiyu was still in the kitchen.

No, not either.

It wasn't in the suit jacket Yan Shiyu had placed on the sofa, nor was it in the rest of the house.

Not only were there no communication devices, but there wasn't even a television set.

At this moment, even if Tang Xu wanted to turn on the TV to see what was happening outside, he couldn't find a way.

In other words, it seemed as if she had become isolated from the entire world.

There was a noise at the kitchen door. Tang Xu turned around abruptly and saw Yan Shiyu walking out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodles.

"You've come down?" Yan Shiyu walked up to her with a bowl in his hand. "There aren't many ingredients here, so I can only cook some noodles. Please eat some."

Tang Xu glanced at the clear soup noodles in the bowl, but the next moment, her gaze involuntarily shifted to Yan Shiyu's pocket.

There's no way he could have kept his phone in his white shirt; if he did, it would definitely be in his suit trouser pocket.

Thinking of this, Tang Xu stepped forward and tried to find something on him.

Unexpectedly, she touched nothing.

Yan Shiyu's two trouser pockets were empty.

There were no cell phones either. (End of Chapter)
