Marriage Seduction Addiction

When Yan Shiyu returned to Qiushuitai at night, it was not yet nine o'clock.

Tang Xu was sitting in the living room flipping through a book when she heard the noise and turned around. She was slightly surprised. "Didn't you have a social engagement? You're back so early?"

Yan Shiyu walked from the main entrance, his gaze fixed on Tang Xu the whole time. Only when she was right in front of him did he finally respond, sit down beside her, and loosen his tie.

As he loosened his tie, he noticed a vase on the coffee table in front of him, filled with vibrant red roses.

At the same time, he also noticed the vases and flowers by the window and next to the TV cabinet.

Turning my head slightly, I noticed that there were also flowers at the bar and dining table that I had overlooked.

Yan Shiyu turned to look at Tang Xu, "Did you go to the flower market today?"

“Yes,” Tang Xu replied, “I went there specifically for this purpose.”

The word "specially" stirred up a flood of thoughts in Yan Shiyu.

She went out of her way to buy flowers and vases to decorate his home.

As far as I can remember, this was the first time she had left such a noticeable mark on his residence.

A man living alone cannot possibly have so many flowers; he doesn't have the leisure or inclination for that.

So many fresh flowers were carefully arranged in every corner of the room, as if silently announcing that there was a lady of the house in this home.

These flowers are the marks she left behind.

A mark that belongs only to her.

Yan Shiyu's gaze fell on the bouquet of roses in front of her, and she remained silent for a long time.

"What, you don't like it?" Tang Xu suddenly asked.

Yan Shiyu came to her senses and said in a low voice, "Of course not."

He paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something and turned to look at her. "How did you know I had a social engagement today?"

“Gao Yan told me,” Tang Xu replied.

Yan Shiyu listened and didn't say anything more for a moment.

Tang Xu suddenly asked again, "Did you have dinner with Mr. Yu?"

Yan Shiyu's gaze narrowed slightly. "Did Gao Yan tell you that too?"

"I guessed." Tang Xu closed the book in her hand, turned to look at him, and said, "It was easy to guess, wasn't it?"

After saying this, the two fell silent, simply looking at each other.

When their eyes met, Tang Xu still smiled gently, while Yan Shiyu's eyes remained deep and unfathomable. Although he did not reveal any emotion, this tacit agreement was enough to give Tang Xu an answer.

Yes, easy to guess, too easy to guess.

Meng Liancheng tried his best to get close to and please someone like Yu Muyao, but to no avail. How come it was her who he could get close to so easily and meet whenever he wanted?

If it were merely because her profile somewhat resembled Yu Muyao's deceased wife, and if Yu Muyao truly cared so much about that resemblance, then he should have had far more complex emotions and reactions—

But ironically, when facing her, Yu Muyao remained extremely calm and composed.

This was definitely not because she was attracted by her appearance or because she was soft-hearted.

If this isn't the answer, then there's probably only one. In fact, Tang Xu was able to connect Yu Muyao's situation with him thanks to Yu Tianxia discovering the tracking software on her phone—

In fact, the moment she heard the news, she already had the answer in her heart.

She knows who did it.

Even though she was unwilling to admit it, she had no choice but to trust her intuition.

It was from that moment that she realized that even though he hadn't said a word when they broke up, he hadn't really left her life.

And if he still does these things for her behind the scenes, then what else is there?
Many questions seem to have different answers, but in fact, once you find the first key, you'll find that the answers to the other questions also become clear.

Just like the person who helped Shu Chen behind the scenes.

Although Tang Xu still refused to admit it and stubbornly created a "she" in her mind, in fact, only she knew that the "she" was always blurry and no matter how she pieced it together, she could never resist her intuition.

Therefore, the question about Yu Muyao is also easily resolved when this answer is applied.

Although at that time, this answer was almost the last straw that broke her back, now she can face it calmly.

"Are you and Mr. Yu discussing a collaboration?" Tang Xu broke the silence first, asking, "When did it start?"

Yan Shiyu looked at her quietly, reached out and gently stroked the hair by her ear, and whispered, "It started when the Meng family wanted to cooperate with him."

Saying this is already a clear answer.

He has no personal grudge against the Meng family, so there's only one reason why he would try to win over Yu Muyao because of the Meng family.

But Tang Xu was determined to get to the bottom of it: "Why?"

Yan Shiyu hadn't had time to remove his hand from her ear, and didn't move for a moment, just quietly watching her.

Seeing that asking questions was useless, Tang Xu could only continue forward.

"Because you didn't want Meng Liancheng to successfully establish this connection? You didn't want him to have more confidence and a stronger backer? And what about Shu Chen? Was she also deliberately placed next to Meng Liancheng? Why did you use such a subtle method? Is it because you have other things to plan, so you have to use such a low-key, inconspicuous method, right?"

She asked a series of questions, but Yan Shiyu didn't answer any of them; instead, his eyes grew increasingly dark.

As if he had anticipated what she was going to say, or as if he was afraid she would say something else, he suddenly pressed down on the back of her head during Tang Xu's pause and leaned forward to kiss her.

Tang Xu turned her head slightly to avoid it, and Yan Shiyu's lips landed on her jawline, hearing her calm and composed voice—

"In the end, everything was overturned overnight..." Tang Xu said, "Yan Shiyu, you're such a fool!"

After she finished speaking, it took Yan Shiyu a long time to straighten up and look down at her. "And then?"

"What then?" Tang Xu looked up at him.

"I'm a complete fool," Yan Shiyu said in a low, hoarse voice, repeating each word clearly. "So, what else do you want to say to me?"

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, hooked her arm around his neck, and said, "So, could you arrange for me to have a meal with Mr. Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu's gaze froze, remaining motionless for a long time.

Tang Xu leaned forward and gently kissed the corner of his lips, then said, "You'll definitely say yes, right?"

Yan Shiyu's gaze lingered on her face for a long time before finally shifting again.

He lowered his head and pressed his lips deeply into hers, pulling her into the depths of the sofa. (End of Chapter)
