Marriage Seduction Addiction

After this extra ordeal, Yan Shiyu's schedule was inevitably disrupted, and her planned departure time was forced to be postponed.

When he changed his clothes and came out of the dressing room, he found that Tang Xu was no longer in the bedroom.

When I went outside, I found that Gao Yan had come up and was talking to Tang Xu in the living room.

Since Yan Shiyu became more silent and withdrawn, Gao Yan still comes up occasionally, but most of the time he just runs errands. As for picking him up and dropping him off at work, that hasn't happened for a long time.

At that time, Yan Shiyu preferred to use the driver arranged by Old Master Yan rather than have him come up to pick him up.

This time, it was because he brought Tang Xu back that Gao Yan saw hope and cautiously suggested to him that, just in case, he should pick her up from Qiushuitai in the future.

Yan Shiyu finally did not refuse.

At this moment, Gao Yan should have been waiting downstairs, but he not only came up, but also carried a shopping bag in his hand.

Yan Shiyu couldn't help but take another look.

Although Gao Yan became somewhat cautious upon seeing him, she couldn't hide her joy. She picked up the shopping bag in her hand and said to him, "Mr. Yan, Miss Tang gave me two shirts."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu's brow twitched slightly.

Gao Yan then looked at Tang Xu and said, "Thank you, Miss Tang. I really like it, and I will definitely wear it properly."

"Wear them if you want, don't wear them if you don't want to. They're just two shirts, no need to make such a big deal out of it," Tang Xu said.

“That’s different,” Gao Yan said. “It really is different.”

Having known each other for so long, Tang Xu knew that Gao Yan was simple and passionate, so she just smiled and said nothing more.

Turning around, Yan Shiyu had already walked straight forward, adjusting his cuffs as he calmly said to Gao Yan, "Let's go."

With such a simple gesture, Tang Xu immediately noticed the cufflinks on his shirt—

He wore those little hippo cufflinks.

"Ah—" Tang Xu covered her face immediately, but still couldn't help but make a sound.

Yan Shiyu stopped and turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"

Although this was a "open conspiracy" orchestrated by Tang Xu, seeing him actually wearing them still evoked a sense of unease and shame, prompting her to whisper, "Why are you actually wearing these?"

Yan Shiyu glanced down at it before slowly saying, "Didn't you say that these cufflinks complement my temperament?"

Gao Yan only then realized what the two were talking about. He stared intently at Yan Shiyu's sleeve, his pupils dilated instantly, and he stood there dumbfounded.

"Well, I didn't tell you to wear them right away." Tang Xu got up and walked over to him. "I'll go get you a new pair—"

"No need." Yan Shiyu moved her hand away without saying a word. "I like it very much. This is fine."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu suddenly looked up and met his gaze for a moment. In the end, she gave up struggling, let out a soft hum, and said, "Then wear it. It's best to wear it every day!"

Although Gao Yan was shocked by the style of the cufflinks, seeing the two of them in such a state, as if they had returned to the past, he was genuinely happy and turned around to go out and press the elevator button first.

When Yan Shiyu reached the door and opened the shoe cabinet to change her shoes, she stopped in her tracks once again.

Inside the cabinet, all sorts of brand-new shoes were neatly arranged, but one pair was missing.

Yan Shiyu suddenly turned her head to look at Tang Xu, who was sitting on the sofa.

She had already turned her back to him and was playing on her phone, seemingly oblivious to what was happening around her. Yan Shiyu, however, still spoke up: "Where are my slippers?"

A moment later, Tang Xu responded with a bewildered look: "Isn't she inside?"

"Where is it?" Yan Shiyu persisted in asking.

Tang Xu couldn't help but sigh, stood up helplessly, walked over and stood next to him, casually pointing to the cabinet, "Isn't that it? Two pairs!"

There were indeed two pairs of men's slippers in the spot she pointed to, both brand new department store slippers that Yan Shiyu had never seen before.

“That’s not what I meant.” Yan Shiyu closed the two doors in front of him.

Tang Xu seemed to suddenly realize something and said, "Oh, you mean those...those plaid ones? They're all deformed! And so shabby...so I threw them away for you!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yan Shiyu with a smile.

Yan Shiyu looked at her, but remained silent, without a trace of a smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" Tang Xu frowned slightly. "Although I lost a pair of your shoes, I bought you two new pairs. Don't you like them?"

“I want those two too,” Yan Shiyu said.

Tang Xu turned her head and snorted, saying, "It's already lost, where are we going to get it back? Do you expect me to rummage through the trash for you?"

"If it was just lost, you should be able to find it by searching the trash can."

Yan Shiyu's thoughts were very meticulous.

The slippers were still there when she came back yesterday, and she went into the bedroom after returning with a bunch of shopping bags. She only had time to come out and do these things just now while he was taking a shower and changing clothes—so even if the slippers were thrown away, they would definitely not be lost.

Hearing his serious tone, Tang Xu couldn't help but bite her lip lightly. After looking at him for a moment, she said again, "Those shoes are in such a state, what's the point of keeping them..."

"Then I want it too."

Tang Xu took a deep breath, seemingly subdued by his firm tone. After a moment of silence, she turned and opened the cabinet door opposite, taking out the pair of slippers that were supposedly "thrown away".

Yan Shiyu reached out to take it, but Tang Xu suddenly hid the slippers behind her back, looked up at him, and said softly, "Now that I'm back, are these slippers still that important?"

Yan Shiyu looked down at her. "Yes, it's very important."

“But it doesn’t belong here,” Tang Xu said. “Don’t you want it to go back to where it originally belonged?”

One sentence from Yan Shiyu made her breath catch in her throat for a moment.

The two stared at each other for a long time before Yan Shiyu finally spoke again: "Can it go back?"

Tang Xu couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, "Then... it depends on whether the opportunity is right."

Yan Shiyu stared at her intently, remaining silent for a long time.

Gao Yan pressed the elevator button outside the door and waited for a long time, but Yan Shiyu still did not come out. He couldn't help but wonder and turned around to walk inside.

I hadn't expected to see two people standing by the shoe cabinet, embracing and kissing, after only a few steps.

Gao Yan was startled and immediately dared not linger. He quickly returned to where he had been, and recalling the scene he had just witnessed, he couldn't help but chuckle softly. (End of Chapter)
