Marriage Seduction Addiction

It wasn't until much later that Tang Xu's emotions finally calmed down a little.

She looked up at Yan Shiyu, who was holding her and hadn't said a word, and said softly, "Now that we've confirmed they're the same person, you don't need to worry anymore. I can assure you that based on my understanding of her, this isn't her true nature. She'll probably find herself again soon and truly become your sister again."

Yan Shiyu listened quietly before slightly curving her lips into a smile, "Let's be good friends again, shall we?"

"of course!"

After Tang Xuyang finished speaking, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed. After a moment of silence, he said again, "Was all of this designed by Old Master Yan? But since he had already ensured that she grew up healthy and safe to the age of seventeen, why did he suddenly orchestrate her death... Was it just to bring her back here today so that he could control you and torment you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu gently took her hand, and after a moment, said, "This is a problem I should worry about; you don't need to worry about it."

Tang Xu couldn't help but purse her lips slightly and gaze at him intently.

“How could I not care?” she said. “You and her are both people I care about… Your lives have changed dramatically because of him, and now you two are on different sides. How can you expect me not to care?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu's gaze lingered on her face for a long time before he finally took her hand and placed it on his lips, planting a kiss on it.

"So, please help me find the original her, okay?" Yan Shiyu said. "I want to see you two as close and happy as before."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the computer screen once again.

The computer screen displayed a photo of Tang Xu and Xu Xingyang, both smiling at the camera. However, Xu Xingyang's smile was gentle and restrained, while Tang Xu sported a rebellious spiky hairstyle, heavy makeup, and a mischievous squinting of one eye.

Tang Xu followed Yan Shiyu's gaze to this photo and instantly forgot everything, as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

She hurriedly broke free from Yan Shiyu's embrace and practically lunged at him to snatch the photo.

Yan Shiyu sat calmly on the sofa, watching her lie there in an extremely difficult position. Even after the photo was scrolled away, she remained lying there motionless, only showing him the back of her head and a pair of ears that were so red they were almost transparent.

After a long while, Yan Shiyu finally let out a soft laugh.

Tang Xu immediately jumped up again, her face flushed red as she bit her lip and glared at him, forcibly explaining, "That was my makeup when I was young and didn't know any better, you're not allowed to laugh!"

Yan Shiyu's smile indeed faded, but his eyes remained unchanged. "I've never seen you before."

“Of course, we should destroy this kind of dark history if we can!” Tang Xu said. “It’s just that she’s in this photo, so we kept it…who knew you would see it!” Yan Shiyu still held her hand tightly, and after a moment, gave his evaluation: “It looks pretty good.”

Tang Xu, enraged and embarrassed, opened her mouth and bit his lip.

"Shut up!"

……

Since Ji Yan returned, the two of them have rarely had such quiet moments together. Even when they occasionally meet, they can always hear Ji Yan's special ringtone.

However, Ji Yan did not call Yan Shiyu on this day.

After meeting with Tang Xu, Ji Yan found another restaurant and spent a long time having lunch and afternoon tea. She then wandered around the mall a few times before randomly walking into the boutique supermarket downstairs.

She didn't originally intend to buy anything. Almost unconsciously, she followed the person in front of her inside, unconsciously pushed the cart, and unconsciously filled the cart with items. It wasn't until she was at the checkout that she realized how many useless things she had bought.

Since she had already bought it, she didn't bother to argue further, so she opened her wallet, took out her card, and handed it over.

The cashier smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, ma'am, there's a problem with the system network today, and we can't accept card payments at the moment. Would you mind if I offered another payment method?"

Ji Yan subconsciously started rummaging through the cash in her bag again.

She had only been back in China for a few days and had little concept of the already widespread mobile payment system. Swiping cards was convenient for her in and out of places, until this moment—

Glancing at the amount displayed on the screen and counting the cash in her wallet, Ji Yan frowned slightly and pulled out a wad of foreign currency: "Do you accept this?"

The cashier's smile immediately became even more awkward. "Sorry, I can't accept this..."

Ji Yan glanced at the car full of things in front of her, preparing to make some choices, when a deep, husky male voice suddenly came from behind her: "I'll pay for this young lady first."

Ji Yan turned around and saw a casually dressed, young, and handsome stranger. (End of Chapter)
