Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 364 Panic

After a long time, Tang Xu broke down emotionally once again.

For a long time, she had actually learned and gotten used to bearing a lot of things on her own.

She was completely at ease in this state.

She can live well even in such self-torture.

She shouldn't have brought this up so easily.

At least before the incident, she had no intention of telling anyone.

But recently, she has indeed started to panic a little.

After meeting Duan Siwei and hearing some news from him that even he couldn't be sure of, she started to panic.

She was afraid that Yan Shiyu might do something irreversible, but she couldn't bring herself to ask him.

Because it wasn't like they hadn't tried before, and each time she tried to inquire, it hadn't brought any good results for the two of them.

Rather than that, it's better to stop asking questions and just do what you're supposed to do. As long as you can comfort him and let him feel happy and joyful, that's enough.

If Lu Xingyan hadn't pressed him, if he weren't Lu Xingyan, Tang Xu truly wouldn't have uttered a single word.

However, as always, she didn't let herself break down for long.

She quickly composed herself, wiped the tears from her eyes and face, and turned to Lu Xingyan, saying, "I'm fine. So many things happen in this world every day. Who can predict everything? Everyone has to take things one step at a time."

After saying that, she paused for a moment, then reached out and shook his hand. "But you can be an exception. You have the clearest goal and the most unwavering determination. You will definitely be able to bring her back... Although it may be a little difficult right now, I believe you can do it."

Lu Xingyan stared at her for a long while before speaking: "You had already planned this from the beginning, so you never intended to re-enter her life, even though she is also the most important person in your life, you are still willing to give up this relationship."

“I just… don’t want to put any more pressure on her,” Tang Xu said. “None of us have ever had amnesia, so we can’t know how much emptiness or torment she has inside, or how much pressure she will face when confronting this unfamiliar world. She’s already endured so much; wouldn’t it be better to keep her life simple? She’s just a friend; she’ll have many more in the future. I’ve had enough of that.”

Lu Xingyan let out a long breath, and after a long while, she spoke again: "You know, sometimes in life, you don't have to think so much. Isn't it good to simply live for yourself?"

“But some things are just impossible to overcome.” Tang Xu also responded softly, then unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door. “You don’t need to worry about me. I’ve been fine all these years, haven’t I? You should focus all your attention on her now. Hurry back and think of a solution. She’s so angry, she’s going to make you suffer.”

Lu Xingyan watched her figure walk into the residential area, frowned and pondered for a long time before turning his head to open an unread message on his phone.

The message indicated that at this very moment, Ji Yan was in a music store by the river.

……

After returning to Huai City, Ji Yan did not touch the guzheng for a long time.

She didn't really have a clear idea of ​​whether she could play the guzheng, because from the beginning, she was told that she "could" play the guzheng.

But when she placed her hand on it, she couldn't find any of the feeling that she "could" do it.

Yes, even though she used to be able to play the guzheng, she can't anymore.

However, Yan Shiyu probably thought she still could, and even specially decorated a room in the Song Dynasty aesthetic style at Qiushui Terrace, placing a guzheng inside. But he probably didn't know that the so-called "acquaintance abroad" with Qi Mingyi was just an excuse to get the two of them to meet. She had long since stopped playing the guzheng, and would never have met a young lady like Qi Mingyi because of it.

At this very moment, she sat in this music store, in front of this guzheng, trying hard to recall some scenes from the past, but all that filled her mind was a desolate and chaotic anger and hatred, growing wildly like weeds.

Yes, she didn't recall anything from the past. On the contrary, what kept replaying in her mind was the scene of seeing Tang Xu and Lu Xingyan in the same place.

Thinking back carefully, Lu Xingyan had been strange from the first time he appeared in front of her. She was clearly on guard against him from the beginning, but she never expected that he would still find a loophole and successfully invade her life.

Before this, she had actually genuinely considered treating him as a friend.

Now that things have changed and she looks back, she realizes that what she thought was a shared interest and harmonious relationship was all a scheme.

What a brilliant and meticulously calculated scheme.

Ji Yan suddenly reached out and produced a jumble of chaotic, jarring sounds from the strings, attracting the attention of the only two or three people in the music store.

Ji Yan was completely unaware, but she keenly sensed the vibration of her phone.

She took out her phone and looked down at a series of documents proving this—

That was the result of her investigation into the identity of "Xu Xingyang".

Yes, she made a harsh statement to Tang Xu, saying that she would not fall into her trap, but in fact, she still had someone investigate.

At this moment, the result is right in front of her.

A series of complete investigation materials show that during Tang Xu's growth process, or even in the entire Huai City, there was never such a person, regardless of life or death.

Ji Yan read the document twice.

This was originally an expected outcome, but in some inexplicable corner, desolation and loneliness expanded almost frantically, eventually merging with that anger and hatred.

Ji Yan suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

The moment she opened the door and stepped out, Lu Xingyan's car stopped right in front of the door.

Their eyes met, and Ji Yan merely sneered, "You've been following me pretty closely. Well, now that the truth is out, there's no need to pretend to bump into each other anymore; you can just follow me openly, right?"

Lu Xingyan got out of the car, and Ji Yan looked away and turned to leave.

Lu Xingyan quickly caught up with her, grabbed her arm, and said in a deep voice, "Since we don't need to act anymore, I'll take you somewhere."

Ji Yan tried hard to break free, but couldn't manage it. She could only look coldly at the man in front of her. "Stop with the act, okay? No matter what you say, I won't believe it. Why waste your energy?"

“I don’t mind doing something that’s a waste of effort,” Lu Xingyan said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan suddenly burst out laughing, "It seems she's really important to you. Are you willing to watch her be with someone else?"

“She is very important to me,” Lu Xingyan admitted without any attempt to hide it, “but there is another person who is more important to me.”
