Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 386

After this shopping spree, the couple suddenly had a much wider variety of items available for their new home. Once all the goods were delivered, they would be quite close to their dream home.

After the intense exertion in the early morning, Tang Xu seemed to sleep better. When she returned to Yujing Bay, it was almost five in the morning. After a quick wash, she fell asleep and slept until noon.

When she opened her eyes and walked out of the bedroom, Song Luobai was sitting on the sofa, eating fast food alone with a cold expression.

"Why are you eating this again?" Tang Xu couldn't help but ask. "When you order takeout, you don't even order anything nutritious."

Song Luobai glanced at her and said, "You're still better than someone who sleeps until this late, right? Did you go out to steal something last night?"

Tang Xu thought about it and realized that the way she shopped at the mall last night was more sneaky than stealing.

But no matter what, this sneakiness has a strangely pleasant and comfortable quality to it.

In other words, she enjoys this kind of sneaking around.

Seeing that she didn't answer and her expression seemed slightly strange, Song Luobai raised an eyebrow and said, "You didn't really go stealing something, did you?"

"Even if you steal it, it's none of your business," Tang Xu replied. "You didn't profit from it, so what are you afraid of?"

Song Luobai rolled her eyes without any politeness. When her gaze fell on the tablet computer on the sofa next to her, her expression instantly turned colder. She said, "Is your phone on silent? I've received several calls looking for you, and this tablet has been ringing non-stop."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu couldn't help but say, "No, I didn't mute it..."

As she spoke, she went back to her bedroom to get her phone, and sure enough, it was on silent mode.

Although she doesn't sleep well, she's also worried about encountering any emergencies, so she almost never puts her phone on silent. However, recently, several times when she woke up in the morning, her phone was on silent mode—undoubtedly, Yan Shiyu had done it for her.

Tang Xu originally thought it was already rare that he would think of this when the two of them were spending the night together, but he didn't expect that even when they were not together, he still helped her turn off the phone without her noticing.

Looking at the missed calls, there were indeed several, and the two most recent ones were from Jiang Beiheng.

No wonder Song Luobai's face turned ugly when he mentioned it.

Tang Xu ignored him for the time being, turned around and went back to her room to call Jiang Beiheng back.

She initially thought it was something urgent, but thankfully Jiang Beiheng answered the phone quickly, his voice sounding calm: "You... just woke up?"

Tang Xu breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion, and then said, "Well, I accidentally put my phone on silent, so I didn't answer your call... What's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. An old friend just opened a new restaurant and invited me to try the food tonight. I thought it would be more fun for me to try it alone, so I was thinking of having you come with me. Do you have time tonight?"

Tang Xu thought that dinner wouldn't take long, and besides, Yan Shiyu also had a dinner appointment tonight, so she agreed.

After dropping Song Luobai off at school in the afternoon, Tang Xu went home, put on makeup, changed her clothes, and went out.

When we arrived at the restaurant, it was lunchtime. As expected of someone Jiang Beiheng could call a friend, even on a tasting day, the entrance was bustling with cars and luxury vehicles.

As soon as Tang Xu got out of the car, a waiter came forward to greet her. Upon hearing that it was Mr. Jiang's private room, the waiter smiled and led Tang Xu into the restaurant.

However, the moment the door to the private room was pushed open, the air inside and outside seemed to freeze simultaneously. Inside the room, Jiang Muchen, who was talking to two senior executives of the Jiang Group, looked up and saw Tang Xu standing at the door, and he was clearly stunned.

Tang Xu was also somewhat taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and said to the staff member who was leading the way, "We've gone to the wrong place. I meant Mr. Jiang Beiheng."

Upon hearing Jiang Beiheng's name, the two executives in the private room immediately stood up. "Chairman Jiang is here too? Shouldn't we go and say hello?"

Tang Xu had no interest in their discussion and turned away without looking back.

Jiang Muchen sat there, watching Tang Xu's fleeting figure, remaining silent and motionless for a long time.

The waiter apologized and led Tang Xu back to Jiang Beiheng's private room. Jiang Beiheng sensed something was wrong from their conversation and asked with a smile, "What happened?"

Before Tang Xu could answer, the staff member leading the way spoke up: "Mr. Jiang is also here. He made a mistake and led Miss Tang over there without asking clearly—"

"Oh?" Jiang Beiheng was also somewhat surprised. "He's here too?"

As they were talking, the door to the private room was knocked on again, and then the two executives who had been sitting with Jiang Muchen earlier walked in and greeted Jiang Beiheng.

Seeing this, Tang Xu put down her things and went to the bathroom first.

When she came out of the bathroom after lingering for more than ten minutes, the two executives had already been sent away, leaving Jiang Beiheng alone in the private room.

Even so, Tang Xu still showed no smile on his face.

Seeing this, Jiang Beiheng said helplessly, "I really didn't know they would be here too. Okay, don't be angry, sit down and eat."

Tang Xu then walked over and sat down next to him, saying, "I was originally thinking that since you have someone to keep you company, then I would—"

Before she could finish her sentence, there was another knock on the door of the private room.

The next person to enter was Lin Hongyu, the restaurant owner, and Jiang Muchen, who was following behind him.

Lin Hongyu and Jiang Beiheng were old friends. As soon as he entered, he said with a smile, "Your family is quite interesting. You came all together to support us, but you insisted on having two separate private rooms. Wouldn't it be more lively if everyone sat together?"

After saying that, he looked at Tang Xu and asked with a smile, as if he were an elder, "Little Tang Xu, you don't mind, do you?"

Lin Hongyu was always free-spirited, unrestrained, and bold, and he was like that in front of everyone. He always had the same attitude towards Tang Xu, so Tang Xu couldn't say anything more and could only smile faintly.

Jiang Muchen followed behind Lin Hongyu, his face still cold and aloof. Surprisingly, he didn't lose his temper and turn away. Instead, he pulled out the chair furthest from Jiang Beiheng and sat down.

Lin Hongyu was very satisfied with the sight and clapped his hands, saying, "That's perfect! Your dad finally came back from abroad, so this is a good opportunity for everyone to have a good meal together and give my chef a fair evaluation—"

Lin Hongyu was very enthusiastic in making arrangements. The other three people present probably didn't expect the meal to turn out this way. Jiang Beiheng, on the other hand, was calm. No matter what Jiang Muchen's attitude was, he could always maintain his dignity.

As for Tang Xu's taciturnity, that's not a big problem at all.

Lin Hongyu and Jiang Beiheng were chatting animatedly, while Jiang Muchen seemed absent-minded like an outsider. Tang Xu, on the other hand, was only focused on eating, occasionally responding to one or two questions, as if everything else was irrelevant to her.
