Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 38 A Strong, Healthy, and Abstinent Man
Hearing these words, Tang Xu's ears burned uncontrollably, but she just bit her lip and stared at him intently.

"Whether it was yesterday or early this morning, there's nothing between us." Her voice was cold and crisp when she spoke again.

After listening, Yan Shiyu did not respond further and continued changing his pants in the ward.

Tang Xu looked away at the opportune moment.

When Yan Shiyu returned to her bedside, she was dressed in new clothes.

Tang Xu didn't want to care, but he couldn't ignore it. In less than ten hours, he had already changed into his third suit.

I changed it all because of her.

Yan Shiyu retrieved his phone from her bedside table before looking down at her again.

"Is this what you wanted?"

Tang Xu met his gaze, and after a long while, she slowly said, "This is what you wanted."

Yan Shiyu did not deny it, but stubbornly pressed on, "And what about you?"

Tang Xu turned her face away. "Me too."

The ward fell silent for a moment.

Tang Xu avoided Yan Shiyu's gaze until he reached out and gently stroked her neck.

Tang Xu stiffened slightly and turned her head. "What are you doing?"

Yan Shiyu did not answer, but gently stroked a spot on her neck with his fingertips.

The traces were left more than three hours ago.

The moment she blossomed in his arms again, he finally couldn't resist and left a mark on her neck.

That's just how some things are in this world.

Even though it is taboo.

It is known that it is not allowed, and it should not be done.

Even though she knew she wasn't really willing.

But even the strongest sense of reason cannot control it.

There was another knock at the door; it was Gao Yan reminding him of the time.

Yan Shiyu finally withdrew his hand.

Tang Xu suddenly pulled the blanket over her head.

Seeing her actions, Yan Shiyu did not linger and got up to leave.

Tang Xu remained lying quietly in bed, listening to the sound of him leaving. After a long while, she finally pulled back the blanket covering her head, hugged it to her chest, and fell asleep peacefully.

……

After sleeping for a little over an hour, a nurse knocked on the door. As soon as Tang Xu opened her eyes, she was given a series of tests, and it was noon by the time she finished.

When she returned to the ward, Lu Xingyan was sitting by the window. When he looked up and saw her come in, his face was still very sour.

Tang Xu didn't intend to provoke him and was about to return to her hospital bed when she suddenly heard Lu Xingyan say, "The man surnamed Liao has been arrested."

Tang Xu responded with an "Oh".

Lu Xingyan remained seated. "Do you know what state he was in when he was sent in?"

"What?" Tang Xu asked in confusion.

"He lost an arm and a leg," Lu Xingyan said. "His face was bruised and swollen, and he was in a daze."

Tang Xu was taken aback. "You hired someone to do this?"

“I’m not reckless.” Lu Xingyan stared at her. “Do you know what he said? He said he did something wrong and was afraid to take responsibility, so he jumped off the building and fell.”

“What if he fell by himself?” Tang Xu said. “A person who can do something like that is not mentally sound.”

"Do you believe it?" Lu Xingyan said. "I certainly don't."

Tang Xu, of course, understood his unspoken meaning.

“He stayed in my hospital room all night and didn’t leave until dawn,” Tang Xu said. “Liao Zhongyi was arrested at two in the morning. How could he have had time to do that?”

Lu Xingyan frowned. "He was arrested at 2 a.m.? But he wasn't taken to the police station until 9 a.m. What happened during those few hours? Did he sleep?"

Tang Xu was taken aback. "Nine o'clock in the morning?" Liao Zhongyi was indeed arrested at two o'clock in the morning, while Yan Shiyu left at around seven o'clock, and then Liao Zhongyi was not taken to the police station until nine o'clock...

Upon closer examination, these specific time points are indeed quite subtle.

Lu Xingyan sneered and said, "Indeed, everyone praises Mr. Yan Shiyu as being as lofty and elegant as a mountain peak, how could he be the kind of person who would do such a thing, right?"

Tang Xu remained silent once again.

Indeed, from any perspective, Yan Shiyu doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing.

but……

Tang Xu couldn't find the answer, but something was uncontrollably intertwining in her mind.

Lu Xingyan's gaze fell on her neck, and he said indifferently, "You'd better watch yourself."

……

After leaving the hospital, Tang Xu went to the police station to give a statement, saying that he did not want to make a big fuss about the matter and hoped to handle it as discreetly as possible.

She then glanced at Liao Zhongyi outside the detention ward.

Lu Xingyan was not exaggerating.

The man, with one arm and one leg severed, was so disheveled that he was almost unrecognizable, and it was clear that he was enduring immense pain.

No one could be so ruthless as to be scared of themselves.

Even if he's a madman.

Tang Xu felt heavy-hearted and left quickly without looking back.

Lu Xingyan escorted Tang Xu back to the Lu family home.

Since Song Yuting fell into a coma and was hospitalized, the Song family has been quiet and deserted. The housekeeper who used to take care of the family's daily life has also been given a holiday. Tang Xu only asks her to come and clean once a day or once a week. Therefore, she is the only one living in this huge villa.

Lu Xingyan frowned every time he brought her back. This time, Tang Xu had just gone through something like that, and he finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you really have to live here? Didn't you buy your own small apartment?"

Tang Xu said, "My apartment was only recently handed over, and the furniture isn't even complete yet, so I can't live there for the time being."

Lu Xingyan said, "I'll buy you any furniture you need, okay? You don't need to stay here anymore."

“No,” Tang Xu said. “The house will fall apart if no one lives in it. I have to keep this house safe for my father.”

After saying that, she pushed open the door and got out of the car, waved to Lu Xingyan, and went straight into the house.

After returning to her room, Tang Xu took a nap and slept soundly until dusk before finally waking up.

After lying in bed for a long time, Tang Xu finally sat up and turned on the room light.

Two minutes later, the doorbell rang downstairs.

Tang Xu guessed that Lu Xingyan had ordered dinner for her, so she casually threw on a coat and went downstairs.

When the door opened, the deliveryman standing outside was dressed in an incredibly expensive, custom-made suit, but his hands were empty.

The two stood silently inside and outside the door. After a long while, Tang Xu finally heard her own cold voice: "Why is Mr. Yan here?"

Yan Shiyu's eyes were deep yet calm as he quietly looked at her. "You helped and saved someone, so you only deserve to stand outside the door and talk?"

His voice was deep and resonant, his tone calm, as if he were speaking casually, without any sense of pressure.

In this way, Tang Xu indeed appeared extremely impolite.

A moment later, Tang Xu finally opened the door and let him into the house.

"Mr. Yan, please have a seat." Her voice was still tense, and then she turned and walked into the kitchen.

When she came out of the kitchen with a glass of water, Yan Shiyu was sitting on the sofa, looking through the medical report she had brought back from the hospital that day.

"Hey--"

She quickly stepped forward, put down her water glass, and tried to retrieve her medical report.

But Yan Shiyu wouldn't let her take it.

Tang Xu immediately grabbed it.

She eventually managed to get the medical report, but she also ended up in his arms.
