Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 361 As long as you're here, everything is fine.
Tang Xu acted swiftly in putting his ideas into practice.

Neither of them got much rest last night, and Yan Shiyu originally thought she would stay home during the day to catch up on sleep.

Just past noon, Yan Shiyu finished a long meeting and returned to his office. When he took out his phone, he saw that Tang Xu had already sent him a series of messages.

A series of messages from her appeared on her phone, something that had almost never happened before, so much so that Yan Shiyu was stunned for a moment before opening the chat box.

They're all about houses.

Less than six hours have passed since she first proposed the idea. In that time, she has already looked at three properties and has particularly recommended one of them – a ten-minute drive from Qiushuitai, with satisfactory apartment layout, floor, size, and community environment.

Yan Shiyu read her message several times before finally typing out a reply.

"I would also like."

An hour later, Tang Xu sent another message.

This time, it's a purchase contract.

Yan Shiyu kept staring at the message, looking at it over and over again.

Just then, the computer in front of her suddenly beeped. Yan Shiyu slowly looked up and saw a newly popped-up email.

Almost instantly, his eyes dimmed.

Just then, Gao Yan knocked on the door and came in. After handing him a document, he remained standing there, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yan Shiyu took the document, flipping through it without looking up, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Gao Yan pursed his lips, but finally spoke, saying, "I just received a message from Miss Tang saying that she bought a new house..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu slowly raised her head. "So?"

Gao Yan was taken aback by his reaction, then asked, "You already know?"

Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang again. Gao Yan glanced down and saw a new message that Tang Xu had just sent—

"He said he bought it because he liked it too."

Upon seeing the message, Gao Yan paused for a moment before looking at Yan Shiyu: "You... discussed and decided to buy it?"

"Ah."

"When was it discussed?" Gao Yan asked again.

Yan Shiyu raised her eyes and glanced at him again.

Gao Yan, seemingly oblivious to everything, continued, "The reason we chose this place is because it's close to Qiushuitai and not too far from Yujing Bay, right?"

Yan Shiyu put down the documents in her hand and looked at him.

"Did you buy it so you could live together?"

Faced with Gao Yan's barrage of questions, Yan Shiyu finally spoke up: "Do you think there's something wrong with it?"

Upon hearing his voice, Gao Yan deflated, remaining silent for two seconds before reluctantly admitting, "No. It was a good choice. This neighborhood near Qiushuitai is indeed the best option."

His reaction only made things more confusing.

Yan Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly. "So?"

Gao Yan took a deep breath, as if he could finally hold back, "So in the past, I was always the one who handled these kinds of things. Why didn't Miss Tang even come to me this time? You two discussed and handled such a big matter as buying a house on your own. Doesn't it seem like I'm just an unnecessary assistant?"

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment, then let out a slight sigh. So, the awkwardness stemmed from not putting in enough effort?

"You really want to get involved?" Yan Shiyu asked.

"Who wants to get involved?" Gao Yan muttered. "This was originally a matter between the two of you. What does it have to do with me? You two discussed and agreed to buy the house, so the decoration, furniture purchase, and moving in will all be done by you two discussing and agreeing on things. What does it have to do with me..."

After muttering this long string of words, Gao Yan turned and walked out of the office.

Yan Shiyu leaned back in her office chair, staring at his retreating figure, feeling utterly bewildered by what had just happened.

Before this, Gao Yan had become cautious and discreet in front of him for a long time. But since Tang Xu came back from that small building with him, he successfully turned Gao Yan back to his old self, and seemed even more fearless than before.

Yan Shiyu, however, did not blame him.

Instead, his mind was filled with the words Gao Yan had just said—

Buying a house, decorating, buying furniture, moving in... everything was discussed and completed by him and her.

Because it was a completely new place to live.

It was a place that belonged solely to her and him.

Such a painting was so captivating that Yan Shiyu couldn't help but lose his composure slightly.

When the phone rang again, it was Tang Xu calling.

"What's wrong with Gao Yan?" Her voice was clear and bright, like light that could pierce through the clouds. "We were having a great chat, and suddenly he stopped replying to me... Is he busy? Did you assign him some important work?"

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment before saying, "Call me and ask if he's busy?"

Tang Xu immediately laughed and said, "I used to call him all the time to ask if you were busy. It's not a big deal to do it the other way around this once, is it? You can't stand it?"

Yan Shiyu did not answer.

Tang Xu then said, "Actually, I wanted to ask what kind of decorating style you like, like the Italian style of Qiushuitai?"

"What style do you like?" Yan Shiyu asked in return.

"Me? Sometimes I like French style, sometimes American style, sometimes natural wood style, and sometimes vintage style..."

Listening to her rambling, Yan Shiyu unconsciously curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"But right now, I don't have any inspiration. Could you provide some?"

“I’m fine with anything,” Yan Shiyu said.

"That's a really insincere answer," Tang Xu said. "Mr. Yan doesn't seem like the kind of person who has no demands."

"I'm happy as long as you're here."

Tang Xu was about to say something more, but upon hearing Yan Shiyu's reply, she fell silent for a moment. After a while, she gave a soft "humph" and said, "No way. We agreed it would be a new home for the two of us, so don't try to be lazy and dump everything on me! Anyway, I'll ask you about every decision I make from now on, so just wait and see how annoyed I get!"

Tang Xu hung up the phone after finishing speaking, but as soon as he did, several more photos were sent over, all of them renderings of different interior design styles.

Yan Shiyu clicked on each one and browsed them carefully, unknowingly spending quite a bit of time inside.

When I finally put down my phone, I looked up and saw the prominent reminder on the envelope icon on my computer desktop.

He had almost forgotten about the email after being interrupted so much.

But at this moment, he suddenly lost interest in opening the email. He found the notification extremely annoying, so he simply deleted it as if he had never received it.
