Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 331 Are You Willing to Let Go?

The two had known each other for a long time, and Yan Shiyu understood Fu Jiali's personality, so how could she not hear the teasing in his words?

Yan Shiyu got out of the car, glanced at him, and simply said, "You picked a good time."

Fu Jiali raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled, "It's always so noisy with a large group of people. Sometimes you want some peace and quiet, right? But they're all old friends, so it's not good not to invite them. I can only choose a slightly odd time and let as few people as possible come."

The two walked into the hall while talking.

Although it was late at night, it wasn't too late for people who were out having fun. However, there were only about ten people in the hall at the moment, which was much quieter than before.

As soon as Fu Jiali entered, he said, "Gentlemen, we have new guests, which will add to the liveliness."

In the hall, five or six young men and two or three female companions who were playing cards together were all engrossed in the game when they heard the sound and looked up. They were all surprised to see Yan Shiyu walking in with Fu Jiali.

When Yan Shiyu first returned to Huai City, he actually participated in these activities quite often. However, in the past six months or so, he has almost disappeared from such occasions. Even when he is occasionally encountered in other places, he only gives people an impression of indifference and aloofness.

Although everyone present had crossed paths with him before, none of them expected him to appear today. It wasn't until they realized what was happening that they all stood up to greet him.

Yan Shiyu was quite at ease in such situations. He chatted with everyone briefly before turning his gaze to a corner.

Yes, besides this table where people are playing cards, there is another small table in the hall.

At the table, two women were chatting and touching their wine glasses, seemingly engrossed in their conversation, completely ignoring the commotion around them.

It was Tang Xu and Ruan Qing.

When Yan Shiyu looked over, Tang Xu was listening intently to Ruan Qing, smiling as he listened, without ever looking up.

On the contrary, Ruan Qing glanced over in this direction while talking, met Yan Shiyu's gaze, and then quickly looked away to continue talking to Tang Xu.

Seeing this, Fu Jiali simply smiled and said, "It's best not to disturb the girls' chat. Why don't you sit down and play a couple of games?"

Everyone at the card table extended a warm invitation, and Yan Shiyu did not refuse, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

They played a few rounds in a rather uninteresting manner, and when they looked up again, they found that Tang Xu and Ruan Qing were gone, leaving only two empty cups on the table.

Yan Shiyu calmly withdrew his gaze and continued the card game on the table.

It was past 2 a.m. when it ended, and the group was still clamoring for a late-night snack. Yan Shiyu took the excuse of getting some fresh air to go outside, leaned against the fountain in the courtyard, and looked up at the building in front of him.

There were few people this time, and most of them are still downstairs. Only two or three windows upstairs have lights on.

Before long, Fu Jiali saw Yan Shiyu in the courtyard from the gate and strolled out. "The midnight snack is ready. Don't you want some?"

"Need not."

Fu Jiali didn't ask any more questions. He looked up following his gaze and suddenly laughed again.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to come this time, and I was even more surprised that Miss Tang would come," Fu Jiali said. "After all, since her divorce from Jiang Muchen, she seems to have disappeared from Huai City. Nobody knows what she's doing. I just happened to remember her and invited her, but I didn't expect her to actually come. She's quite a straightforward person."

Yan Shiyu glanced at him indifferently upon hearing this.

Fu Jiali could no longer maintain his facade. He chuckled and lowered his voice, saying, "I advise you not to make any rash moves tonight. The two girls are chatting so enthusiastically; they might even be sleeping in the same room tonight... If anything happens, Miss Tang is used to seeing all sorts of things. If she frightens Ruan Qing, that would be another offense for you, Mr. Yan." With that, Fu Jiali reached out and patted Yan Shiyu's shoulder, then gracefully left with a smile.

Yan Shiyu was left standing there alone, her gaze still fixed on the few lit windows, lingering there for a long time.

Nothing happened all night.

The next morning around 10 a.m., Tang Xu and Ruan Qingcai went downstairs together again.

The men who were keen on hunting had already gone out, but Tang Xu and Ruan Qing had no interest in such things, so they agreed to go horseback riding together at a nearby forest.

The two men, each on a horse, left the mountain village and headed towards the forest farm.

Upon entering the forest, the two continued their leisurely journey. Ruan Qing recounted some dramatic stories from her social circle to Tang Xu, her face beaming with excitement, when suddenly a figure on horseback emerged from the forest and stopped in front of them.

The two men stopped their horses at the same time.

Ruan Qing's horse was half a body length ahead of Tang Xu. At this moment, she looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of her. After a moment of stunned silence, she couldn't help but follow the man's gaze and turn around to look at Tang Xu behind her.

Tang Xu's brows relaxed and calm. When she met Ruan Qing's gaze, she simply smiled slightly.

Ruan Qing was a meticulous person, and upon seeing this situation, she immediately understood everything.

She looked away and then at Yan Shiyu, slightly raising her chin. "Mr. Yan, what do you mean by blocking our way? Miss Tang made an appointment with me today. Are you planning to steal her away?"

Yan Shiyu sat upright on his horse and said, "It won't take up too much of your time."

Seeing his calm demeanor, as if he were certain of victory, Ruan Qing felt a little resentful, but she didn't want to appear too petty. After giving a slight humph, she turned back to Tang Xu and said, "In that case, I'll go ahead and wait for Miss Tang."

After saying that, Ruan Qing whipped her horse forward, and as she brushed past Yan Shiyu, she couldn't help but glare at him slightly.

Yan Shiyu's attention was completely focused on Tang Xu.

Only when Ruan Qing's horse hoofbeats gradually faded into the distance did Yan Shiyu dismount, walk to Tang Xu's horse, and extend his hand to her.

"What are you doing?" Tang Xu glanced at his palm. "Speak your mind. Don't delay me and Miss Ruan."

"Come down first."

"Can't we just say it like that?"

"No."

The two men, one on horseback and the other off, remained locked in a stalemate for a moment before Tang Xu finally gave in and dismounted with his hand in his.

The moment she landed, before she could even say anything, the man in front of her pulled her tightly into his arms.

This was something Tang Xu hadn't expected. She had prepared a lot of things to say, but now she didn't know how to start, and could only let him hold her like this.

After a long while, she finally reached out and embraced him.

"So, are you willing to let go?" Tang Xu asked.
