Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 33 Speaking of forbearance, how can I compare to Mr. Yan?
After having lunch at the golf club, the ladies who had been sitting with Tang Xu earlier made plans to go shopping together, but tacitly did not invite Tang Xu.

In the short time it took to eat lunch, anyone with eyes could see that Yue Jiwei was interested in Tang Xu.

Although the two men each had their own identities, everyone was used to seeing the world, especially someone like Yue Jiwei who had a notorious reputation.

Firstly, they adopt a "not my problem" attitude;

Secondly, it's better to have something interesting to watch than to be bored.

Tang Xu had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she decided to go get her hair done.

I was so stressed in Huai City that I didn't even have time to get my hair done. Now that I'm in Nancheng, I should relax a bit during my free time.

Tang Xu spent an afternoon cutting her waist-length hair shorter and changing it to a hazy black color, adding a touch of mystery and aloofness.

After leaving the hair salon, Tang Xu went to a nearby shopping mall and picked out two new dresses to match her new hair color.

By the time we got back to the hotel, it was already dark.

As Tang Xu entered the hotel lobby, he was greeted by Mrs. Shen from the group of wives.

Seeing Tang Xu's new look, the other person's eyes were clearly filled with ambiguity, yet they still pulled Tang Xu aside and shared a fresh piece of gossip with her—

"Guess who I saw downstairs just now?" Mrs. Shen's eyes sparkled. "Miss Mina, she went upstairs in the elevator—it seems Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Chen are going to lose!"

Tang Xu glanced towards the elevator, then chuckled helplessly, "If we really lose, there's nothing we can do..."

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Shen, Tang Xu also entered the elevator.

Just as she was looking down to find her room key in her handbag, the elevator doors, which had already closed, suddenly opened again.

Yan Shiyu and Gao Yan were standing outside the door.

Yan Shiyu glanced at the elevator once and walked straight in.

Gao Yan had already stepped inside when he finally saw who had been standing in the elevator. He stopped abruptly and called out, "Miss Tang?"

Tang Xu slowly raised her head and saw Yan Shiyu, who had just entered the elevator.

The man was wearing a custom-made three-piece suit, and it was unclear what important occasion he had come from.

But if it's an important occasion, why did you come back so early?
Unless...there is another agreement?
Tang Xu recalled the message that Mrs. Shen had just conveyed to her.

"Miss Tang, you've changed your hairstyle?" Gao Yan smiled, touching his head. "I didn't even recognize you at first glance..."

Tang Xu just smiled at him and said, "Yeah, isn't it pretty?"

“No, it’s beautiful, very beautiful…” Gao Yan answered repeatedly, then suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression changed slightly, he glanced quickly at Yan Shiyu, and then stepped out of the elevator, “I remembered that I left something at the front desk and forgot to pick it up, you guys go up first.”

The elevator doors closed again.

Suddenly, only two people remained in the confined space.

Two people who should absolutely never be alone together.

silence.

A suffocating silence.

Until Yan Shiyu's voice rang out—

Have you considered the consequences?

Tang Xu remained motionless for a while before turning to look at him, as if she had just realized what he meant. "Which matter are you referring to?"

Yan Shiyu looked at her, his eyes deep and serene, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"My new hairstyle? Or new clothes?" Tang Xu chuckled and said slowly, "Don't worry, I've thought it over, and I've thought it over very carefully."

After she finished answering, Yan Shiyu did not say another word.

The air in the elevator became thin again, making it suffocating.

It was only then that Tang Xu realized that neither of them had pressed the elevator button after entering.

She finally found her room key in her bag and swiped it. The button for the 42nd floor lit up.

She paused, then looked down and found another card, swiping it to light up the 32nd floor.

The elevator quickly stopped on the 32nd floor. Tang Xu got out of the elevator without looking back and returned to her room.

……

At 11 p.m., Tang Xu appeared in the 40th-floor executive lounge.

She sat at the bar and asked the bartender for a Negroni.

In a place like an executive lounge, it's rare to see a beautiful woman drinking alone. Even the bartender couldn't help but strike up a conversation with her: "Are you waiting for someone?"

"I don't know," Tang Xu simply smiled and tilted her head. "Maybe."

After finishing one glass of wine, Tang Xu ordered a second one.

She had just taken a sip of her second drink when she caught a glimpse of a graceful figure walking into the lounge out of the corner of her eye.

Tang Xu turned her head and saw Mina.

Mina wore a sexy little black dress, her hair draped over her shoulders, the ends of which were still slightly damp, and her eyebrows and eyes exuded a charming and alluring style.

This state makes it seem like they've just gone through something.

Mina also saw her, paused slightly, and walked over with a smile, "Miss Tang, what a coincidence, do you also like to have a drink in the evening?"

“Yes,” Tang Xu said, “a little wine helps me fall asleep.”

“I think so too.” Mina was standing next to her and casually asked the bartender for a whiskey.

After receiving the drink, Mina tilted her head back and downed it in one gulp. She then handed the glass and cash to the bartender before looking at Tang Xu again, saying, "I'll be going now. Enjoy your drink, Miss Tang."

"Goodbye."

Tang Xu watched her leave, then slowly drank his second glass of wine and ordered a third.

The bartender, probably worried she'd drink too much, noticeably slowed down his mixing pace. "Aren't you afraid of getting drunk and not being able to get back to your room if you drink this much?"

Tang Xu rested her chin on her hand, waiting for her drink. "I'm in a bad mood, so I can only drown my sorrows in alcohol."

"This is not a good idea."

"What else can we do?" Tang Xu asked seriously.

"Go find whoever's making you feel bad." The bartender handed her her third drink. "If such a beautiful girl is in a bad mood, why should he feel good?"

Tang Xu laughed non-stop, and after laughing, she drank her third glass of wine in one gulp, then stood up and said, "I'm going now, thank you."

Tang Xu swiped her card and went up to the 42nd floor.

Standing at the door of room 4216, Tang Xu rang the doorbell for a long time before the door finally opened from the inside.

Yan Shiyu stood behind the door, looking as if he had just taken a shower. He was wearing a silk bathrobe, his half-exposed chest still damp with moisture, and his wet hair was dripping water. His eyes were as dark and unfathomable as ever, and it was impossible to tell what he had just experienced.

He looked at Tang Xu standing in the doorway and asked, "Did you knock on the wrong door?"

Tang Xu stared straight at him. "I'm looking for you."

Yan Shiyu stood behind the door without moving, waiting for her to continue.

Tang Xu's eyes were somewhat unfocused. She seemed to have been organizing her thoughts for a while before finally speaking: "I made a bet with someone, and I think I lost. But losing means paying money, and I'm not willing to accept that... So I came here to verify the result. I need to confirm whether I really lost."

She looks like she's had too much to drink.

In fact, he did drink quite a lot.

Yan Shiyu simply gazed at her silently.

“Miss Mina is really beautiful, very attractive… They say that even you wouldn’t be able to resist her charm.” She looked at him and said slowly, “They said you would definitely be won over by her, but I bet you wouldn’t… And in the end, I lost, didn’t I?”
