Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 356 Will You Blame Me?

Ji Yan instinctively wanted to refuse.

But the next moment, Lu Xingyan spoke up again: "He's downstairs, let's go take a look together."

Ji Yan paused, then looked down at her phone.

At this time, Yan Shiyu had probably already left for work. She didn't have anything else to do, so it seemed that it didn't really matter where she went.

Ji Yan did not refuse again and followed Lu Xingyan down the elevator to the underground parking lot.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, a medium-sized golden retriever leaped in and pounced straight at Lu Xingyan.

Lu Xingyan chuckled twice, reached out and hugged it, ruffling its body. "Did you miss me? Was your journey safe?"

The last sentence was addressed to the people outside the elevator.

The escort outside the elevator smiled and said, "Everything went smoothly. Kimi was very well-behaved and didn't cause much trouble along the way. If Mr. Lu confirms there are no problems, then I consider my mission complete."

After listening, Lu Xingyan squatted down and carefully inspected the place before finally nodding to indicate that the person could leave.

Ji Yan stood to the side, quietly watching the scene unfold, without uttering a single word.

It wasn't until Lu Xingyan held the dog and looked up to introduce it, saying, "This is Sister Ji Yan, our first friend in our new home. You must make sure you recognize her."

The dog seemed to understand Lu Xingyan's words and wagged its tail at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan finally asked, "His name is Kimi?"

"Yes, I'm three years old this year," Lu Xingyan asked her. "Do you like small animals?"

Ji Yan's face remained expressionless; she simply replied, "So-so, I don't really like it."

Lu Xingyan just smiled and didn't say anything more.

……

Two days passed, and Ji Yan, who claimed to be "average" and "not particularly fond of animals," became a guest visiting Lu Xingyan's home for two consecutive days, and also became playmates with Kimi.

For those two days, Tang Xu was unable to see Lu Xingyan. It wasn't until late on the third night that Lu Xingyan finally found the time to come to Yujing Bay with a few cans of beer to find her.

It seems like it's been a long time since the two of them last drank together, and their feelings are naturally very different now.

There was a light in Lu Xingyan's eyes, a light that Tang Xu hadn't seen in a long time, indicating that things had been progressing smoothly these past two days.

"You actually managed to leave Qiushuitai." Tang Xu couldn't help but tease him when he saw him, saying, "I thought you were planning to stay here for a long time and never leave."

Lu Xingyan glanced at her, but didn't answer. He simply opened a can of beer and placed it in front of her.

Tang Xu reached out and asked him for something, "Do you have any CCTV footage from your place? I want to see how she interacts with you."

"No," Lu Xingyan replied, "I was afraid she'd overthink it, so I didn't install any security cameras." Tang Xu listened, paused for a moment, and then slowly nodded. "That's true. It's never comfortable going to someone else's house and seeing security cameras... Does she really like Kimi?"

"Hmm. They say they don't like it, but they actually love it every time they see it." Lu Xingyan couldn't help but smile as she recalled Ji Yan and Kimi playing on the floor.

Tang Xu chuckled softly and said, "It's clear that although she doesn't remember the past, she hasn't changed at heart. She still loves cats and dogs so much... Do you remember that old man's wonton shop on the street behind the school? Just because he had a dog, we ate countless bowls of wontons with him..."

Lu Xingyan couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it, "How could I not remember?"

This time, when the topic of the past came up, the conversation flowed freely, unlike before when I dared not utter a single word easily.

As the conversation got lively, Lu Xingyan finished the few cans of beer she had bought. She was still not satisfied, so she got up to go downstairs to buy some more. Tang Xu then took out her phone and said, "You've really been staying in the mountains for too long. You can order takeout to be delivered up here."

She quickly ordered some things and placed the order. Just a few minutes later, the doorbell rang.

This speed was somewhat beyond expectations. Lu Xingyan got up to open the door, but after hearing the sound of the door opening, it seemed to suddenly become quiet on the other side, and she could not hear the deliveryman's voice.

"Lu Xingyan?" Tang Xu called out in confusion, "Isn't it takeout?"

The next moment, Lu Xingyan's voice was finally heard, but it wasn't in response to her. Instead, he called out to the person outside the door, "Mr. Yan."

Tang Xu, who had been curled up on the sofa, sat up instantly upon hearing the sound, her eyes widening slightly.

She couldn't see what was happening outside. After a short while, she saw Lu Xingyan return to the living room, take his coat, and say to her, "Since Mr. Yan is here, I won't bother you any longer. Let's get together another day."

Tang Xu's nerves were slightly excited due to the alcohol, and upon hearing this, she felt that something was wrong. "It's not like we can't meet. Since you're here, we can sit down and chat together."

As Tang Xu stood up to pull Yan Shiyu inside, Lu Xingyan gently tugged at her arm and whispered, "Next time."

Seeing that he had made up his mind to leave first, Tang Xu didn't say anything more. After nodding somewhat blankly, she followed him to the door and saw Yan Shiyu still standing outside.

Hearing the noise, Yan Shiyu raised her eyes and glanced at them, her gaze sweeping over Lu Xingyan before landing directly on Tang Xu.

Tang Xu saw Lu Xingyan into the elevator. Watching the elevator doors close and go up or down, she turned back to the door, looked at Yan Shiyu, and tilted her head slightly as if in thought. "He seems wary of you? That's strange. I've never seen him like this before. Now that you two have someone you both care about, you should have a lot to talk about, right?"

Yan Shiyu didn't respond to her question, but instead stared at her slightly flushed face and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Tang Xu chuckled softly, and the next moment she heard the elevator hum. Realizing that this must be the real delivery, she quickly reached out and pushed Yan Shiyu into the door. She then turned around to face the deliveryman who had just come out of the elevator.

After receiving the takeout and returning to the house, Yan Shiyu was already sitting on the sofa in the living room. He glanced at the empty wine can on the table in front of him and said, "Looks like I've disturbed your happy time."

Tang Xu didn't take it to heart, "There will be plenty of time like this in the future, so I'm not afraid of being disturbed by you."

She then sat down next to Yan Shiyu, looked up at him, and said, "I haven't seen Lu Xingyan this happy in a long time. He said that her condition is gradually improving. Do you know how happy I am?"

Yan Shiyu continued to look at her quietly and asked, "Are you happy just like that? I thought you wanted her to remember you and be your best friend again."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "For me, that's no longer the most important thing. What's important is that she's still here, and she can have a happy and fulfilling life... That's enough."

"What if she never remembers you?" Yan Shiyu asked in a low voice. "Would you blame me?"
