Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 340 Grace
Upon hearing Yan Shiyu's rhetorical question, Ji Yan remained silent for a moment before smiling.

But this smile was no longer formulaic; it was a very real... cold laugh.

"Grandpa poured all his efforts into raising you all these years, entrusting the entire Yan family to you. That shows how much he expected of you." Ji Yan looked at Yan Shiyu, her expression gradually turning cold. "Grandpa didn't say you couldn't have a girlfriend, but there are so many women in the world, why did you have to get entangled with her? You knew she was the Jiang family's daughter-in-law, and someone else's wife, why—"

Before Ji Yan could finish speaking, Yan Shiyu interrupted her—

"Not anymore."

Ji Yan seemed somewhat incredulous that he would be the first to respond to this point. After a moment of stunned silence, she let out another uncontrollable cold laugh, "Yes, not now, but what about before? What about when you two started? Was she still her or not?"

"Yes," Yan Shiyu readily admitted.

"So why do you allow this kind of unethical and immoral relationship to happen?"

"I couldn't help myself."

"Unable to control your emotions?" Ji Yan looked at him. "Do you know that you are carrying the weight of the entire Yan family and the entire Yan clan on your shoulders? Just because of a phrase like 'unable to control your emotions,' you did such a thing. Where does that leave Grandpa and the Yan family?"

Hearing her righteous and stern accusation, Yan Shiyu's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly retorted, "These things are very important to you."

"of course."

Yan Shiyu lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Your surname isn't Yan."

“Yes, even though I’m not surnamed Yan, I can still remember the kindness of my grandfather in raising and educating me,” Ji Yan said. “And you? As a member of the Yan family, as my grandfather’s most trusted grandson, is this how you repay him?”

Yan Shiyu finally looked up at her again.

Ji Yan met his gaze and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a straightforward person. If Mr. Yan doesn't like what I'm saying, just ask me to leave. I won't stay here for any reason."

"It's alright." When she spoke again, Yan Shiyu remained calm. "You can say whatever you want."

“Mr. Yan is indeed very tolerant and magnanimous,” Ji Yan said. “But even a person’s patience has its limits. I wonder how long Mr. Yan can tolerate me?” “You are welcome to try,” Yan Shiyu replied.

Ji Yan suddenly smiled again, "Then I won't be polite."

Yan Shiyu still showed no anger towards this.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere at Qiushuitai that evening still became somewhat strange because of this conversation.

……

At 1:30 a.m., in her apartment in Yujing Bay, Tang Xu sat on a chair by the balcony, idly flipping through a book.

After several days of sleep deprivation, she finally managed to sleep for a few hours during the day today. However, those few hours have left her wide awake and unable to fall back asleep, forced to watch helplessly as her sleep schedule is thrown into chaos once again.

She didn't really care about the chaos, but something always seemed to be weighing on her mind, making her feel vaguely uneasy.

Therefore, insomnia at this time can inevitably cause some anxiety.

As Tang Xu was pondering how to deal with the current situation, a "click" sound suddenly came from the front door. The door was unlocked, and someone opened it and walked in from the outside.

Tang Xu suddenly looked up and saw Yan Shiyu walking out of the entrance hall.

The moment their eyes met, neither of them uttered a sound.

Tang Xu nestled quietly in the chair, watching him approach step by step, then sat down in the chair as well, and pulled her into his arms.

It had only been a day since the two last met.

However, this late-night face-to-face meeting inexplicably became somewhat solemn and silent.
