Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 344 A Strange Night

These words were almost a murmur, spoken unconsciously by Ji Yan.

However, Old Master Yan listened very attentively.

He looked at Ji Yan with a solemn gaze, "If that's what you're thinking, then you shouldn't have come back this time."

Upon hearing Grandpa Yan's words, Ji Yan immediately seemed to realize something, and even sat up slightly. Looking at Grandpa Yan, she pursed her lips before saying, "I know, Grandpa. I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do, don't worry."

Grandpa Yan stared at her for a moment before finally responding, putting down his teacup, and asking, "What do you plan to do next?"

Ji Yan said, "Although Miss Qi's path is blocked, I still live in Qiushuitai, don't I? The path he wants to take won't be so easy either."

Hearing Ji Yan's statement, Grandpa Yan seemed satisfied and nodded slightly. He then added, "If he were as sensible as you, knowing what he should and shouldn't do, I, an old man, wouldn't have to worry about these things at my age."

Ji Yan lowered her eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said again, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Perhaps he will come to his senses soon."

Grandpa Yan glanced at her again and said, "I hope you can do it."

Ji Yan pursed her lips and said nothing more.

……

During the day, Gao Yan keenly noticed that Yan Shiyu's condition was not quite right.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he knew that Yan Shiyu had dinner with Ji Yan that morning, so Yan Shiyu's unusual behavior was most likely related to Ji Yan.

He knew how much effort Yan Shiyu had put into finding Ji Yan—even though Old Master Yan had clearly told him that Ji Yan was no longer there, Yan Shiyu still refused to give up.

This shows the importance of his younger sister in his heart.

Now that she has appeared so unexpectedly, Gao Yan can fully imagine the impact this will have on Yan Shiyu.

Since Miss Ji returned, Gao Yan had also suffered a lot and was in a terrible state, so he didn't want to get too involved in her affairs.

But when it was time to leave work, and seeing that Yan Shiyu hadn't eaten much for dinner, Gao Yan couldn't help but cautiously suggest, "How about we go to Yujing Bay to see Miss Tang? She seems to be off today."

"It's Saturday today," Yan Shiyu replied with just those few words.

Gao Yan reacted instantly.

Saturday is always a headache.

However, after a moment, Yan Shiyu suddenly asked again, "Has Ji Shiqing gone back?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan immediately realized something and quickly turned around to make a phone call.

After finishing the call, he quickly went to Yan Shiyu, trying his best to suppress the laughter in his voice, and said to Yan Shiyu, "The driver said he didn't go back to the villa. He went to Yujing Bay with Song Luobai as soon as school was over."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu simply responded with a faint sound.

……

Tang Xu was somewhat surprised that Ji Shiqing would come back with Song Luobai again.

Although it was unexpected, it wasn't surprising at all.

Song Luobai remained as cold as ever, Ji Shiqing as sweet-talking as ever, and Tang Xu felt that she had already gotten used to it.

After dinner, she originally wanted to urge Ji Shiqing to go back, but Ji Shiqing said he wanted to rest for a while and have some sweet soup. Tang Xu had no choice but to order a few more servings of sweet soup on her phone, just like serving a young master.

When the doorbell rang, Tang Xu was initially surprised that the sweet soup had arrived so quickly. However, when she opened the door and saw Yan Shiyu standing outside, her surprise instantly turned into shock.

Didn't we just agree early this morning that we couldn't meet today? What's the meaning of him showing up here at this hour?
Tang Xu subconsciously reached out to push him away, but the next moment, Yan Shiyu grabbed her wrist and said, "I'm here to pick up Ji Shiqing."

Tang Xu was speechless, yet she couldn't stop being annoyed.

She bit her lip and lowered her voice, saying, "I've never seen you come to pick him up before!"

“There are always exceptions.” Yan Shiyu said as he walked into the door on his own.

Tang Xu knew that it would be useless to stop him at this moment, but she still stood in front of him in vain, trying to stop something as if she were burying her head in the sand.

Yan Shiyu simply looked down at her.

He hadn't seen such a vibrant and expressive face on her in a long time, and for a moment he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her.

Tang Xu was even more shocked and took two steps back to create distance between them, but she was about to bump into the entryway cabinet behind her.

Yan Shiyu reacted quickly, reaching out to protect the back of her head, but the impact still produced a loud "bang".

Although it bumped into his palm, Tang Xu was still stunned for two seconds. In those two seconds, Yan Shiyu lowered his head and kissed her again.

Ji Shiqing was sitting on the living room sofa playing on her phone and couldn't see what was happening here, but she still heard the noise and couldn't help but ask, "Sister, is the sweet soup delivery here?"

After a while, Tang Xu finally came out from the entrance hall. After glancing at him, she replied, "It's your uncle who came to pick you up."

Immediately afterwards, Yan Shiyu's voice rang out in the entryway, "Don't you need to change your shoes?"

Tang Xu suddenly turned around and glared at him, almost gritting her teeth as she said, "Mr. Yan, please don't stand on ceremony, just come in."

After saying that, she walked into the living room, facing Ji Shiqing's astonished face.

Yan Shiyu still took off her shoes at the entrance and, as always, stepped onto the wooden floor of the living room wearing socks.

When Ji Shiqing saw him, he subconsciously adjusted his posture for a moment, but after a short while, he seemed to remember something, quickly relaxed, and smiled at Yan Shiyu, saying, "Uncle, you've come."

His casual tone made it seem as if seeing Yan Shiyu here was the most normal thing in the world.

Suddenly, the door to the second bedroom, which had been tightly closed, opened, and then Song Luobai entered the living room, staring at the intruder with an unfriendly expression.

Tang Xu sat down on the sofa, feeling a sense of utter weariness and despair.

How to describe it?
She was almost certain that the two young men in front of her knew something; if she knew it, Yan Shiyu couldn't possibly not know it.

In other words, all four people in the room are fully aware of certain things, yet they still have to put on an act under these circumstances, making it awkward no matter what they do.

Tang Xu had been sleep-deprived lately and wasn't in good spirits to begin with. Now, she was even less inclined to deal with the current situation and simply left it to them to develop on their own. Song Luobai had no kind look towards Ji Shiqing, and even less towards Yan Shiyu. At this moment, he glared at Yan Shiyu as he walked towards the kitchen, seemingly to get a drink from the refrigerator, but in reality, his attention was entirely focused on the living room.

Yan Shiyu, however, seemed completely oblivious to Song Luobai, and instead looked at Ji Shiqing, asking, "When do you plan to go back?"

"We just finished eating not long ago, why don't you rest a little longer?" Ji Shiqing acted as if she were a guest in someone else's house. "Besides, my sister ordered sweet soup, why don't you finish your sweet soup before you leave?"

This arrangement clearly suited Yan Shiyu's wishes, so he did not object and instead sat down on the sofa.

Tang Xu glanced at him, propping her forehead up, utterly helpless. She could only say to Song Luobai, "Song Luobai, get Mr. Yan a bottle of water."

On the other side, Song Luobai slammed the refrigerator door shut and coldly replied, "That's all. I drank the last bottle."

Tang Xu couldn't help but raise her eyes and glare at Song Luobai.

She went to buy supplies this afternoon, and now there are about ten bottles of water in the refrigerator, but they told her there aren't any left?
Just as Tang Xu was about to say something, Yan Shiyu said, "It's okay, isn't there sweet soup? I'll just drink that."

Upon hearing this, Song Luobai's face immediately turned ashen, and he stood behind her, glaring at the back of Yan Shiyu's head.

Ji Shiqing appeared to be playing on his phone, but in reality, he kept glancing at the three people in front of him out of the corner of his eye. Tang Xu felt that he was about to burst out laughing at any moment, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Ji Shiqing received a glare from Tang Xu, and the next moment, he accidentally met Yan Shiyu's gaze.

Yan Shiyu's gaze was calm and composed, as if he hadn't expressed anything, yet it was as if he had said everything...

Ji Shiqing suddenly jolted awake, stood up abruptly, and rushed straight to Song Luobai. "By the way, you got such a high score on the test paper that was handed out today. Can I take a look at it?"

Seeing that he was blocking her way, Song Luobai reached out to pull him away, but Ji Shiqing ignored her, saying, "Don't be so stingy. If you won't let me get it, I'll just go in and rummage through it myself—"

As he spoke, he walked towards Song Luobai's room.

Song Luobai's expression changed drastically. He looked at Yan Shiyu and Tang Xu in front of him, and then at Ji Shiqing, who had already entered his room and was defiantly making a closing gesture. He finally couldn't restrain himself and quickly ran towards the room.

Song Luobai's original plan was naturally to capture Ji Shiqing, but with the door slamming shut, both of them were locked in the room.

Immediately afterwards, a very loud noise came from inside.

The two people in the living room remained unmoved as if they hadn't heard anything. Finally, Yan Shiyu got up and sat down next to Tang Xu.

As soon as he moved, Tang Xu moved too, punching him a few times in the chest. "Don't you have enough problems already? Coming to make things worse at a time like this!"

Yan Shiyu held her hand with one hand and smoothed the loose hair on her shoulder with the other. "The more things happen, the more you wish for the world to be in chaos... Aren't you like that?"

"No, no!" Tang Xu gritted her teeth and answered with two words. She stared at him for a long time, and finally leaned slowly into his arms, asking, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Yan Shiyu lowered his head and gently rubbed her forehead. "You're feeling much better now that we're here."

Tang Xu glanced at him and said, "You seem to be in a good mood now. If those two get hurt, are you going to take responsibility?"

"Can't I afford it?" Yan Shiyu asked.

"Don't you think you're already carrying enough burdens?" Tang Xu straightened up slightly and looked at him, saying, "If you carry any more, you'll collapse under the weight."

Yan Shiyu took her hand and brought it to his lips, saying, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

After hearing this, Tang Xu stared at him for a long time before finally unable to resist and gently leaning forward to peck him on the lips.

She had only intended to give him a quick kiss, but the moment their lips touched, Yan Shiyu's hand touched the back of her head, preventing her from leaving easily.

Until the sound came from the direction of the second bedroom again—

boom!
A loud bang, as if someone had slammed their fist on the door.

Then the door opened, and Ji Shiqing, yelling, staggered out while clutching his arm, collapsing onto the sofa and groaning, "I didn't win, I'm doomed... Uncle, I think my arm is broken, I can't go to school now, you have to at least give me a week off so I can rest at home..."

Song Luobai slammed his bedroom door shut and locked it before quickly walking to the living room and glancing at the scene inside.

Yan Shiyu, who had been sitting on a single sofa, was now sitting on a three-seater sofa in the center, right next to Tang Xu, with some wrinkles on her clothes that weren't there before.

Song Luobai's face grew even uglier. He walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat there like a pillar of strength, staring intently at them without moving.

Yan Shiyu stared at Ji Shiqing, who was slumped on the sofa screaming in agony, without showing any unusual expression.

Tang Xu couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her forehead, really not wanting to face the awkward situation before her any longer.

Fortunately, the doorbell rang again at that moment.

Tang Xu quickly got up, walked across the sofa, passed by Song Luobai, opened the door, and took the sweet soup she had ordered.

Ji Shiqing greedily ordered two bowls for himself, and now he could just spare one bowl for Yan Shiyu.

Ji Shiqing stopped screaming at this moment. Although she still pretended to be in pain, she sat down at the dining table with a whimper.

Four people with extremely complex backgrounds sat at a table in an extremely eerie atmosphere, sharing this bizarre sweet soup.

After finally finishing the sweet soup, Yan Shiyu led Ji Shiqing away.

Tang Xu escorted them to the door, conveying countless messages to Yan Shiyu with her eyes. Only when she saw Yan Shiyu leading Ji Shiqing into the elevator did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She closed the door and went back inside. She wanted to say something to Song Luobai, but Song Luobai didn't give her the chance. He went straight back to his own room and slammed the door shut as well.

Tang Xu sighed softly and decided not to say anything more.

The night is finally over.

Thinking this, she let out a long sigh of relief, sat for a while, and then took a change of clothes into the bathroom to take a shower.

By the time she finally finished her shower and came out, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Tang Xu glanced at Song Luobai's room, but there was no movement.

She looked away, pushed open her bedroom door, and went inside.

However, Tang Xu froze as soon as the door opened.

The man who had just left was now sitting by her bedside again, like a ghost in the night.
