Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 389 There Will Be Such a Day

As if in response, the lights in the theater suddenly came on as soon as Yan Shiyu finished speaking.

Having spent so much time in the dark, the sudden burst of light made both of them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Yan Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he suddenly met Tang Xu's gaze, which was staring straight at him.

"Why?" Tang Xu suddenly asked out of the blue.

"What?" Yan Shiyu asked.

"You've been spoiling me way too much lately," Tang Xu said. "Why do you think I can just say whatever I want?"

"Shouldn't it be like this?"

Yan Shiyu's rhetorical question left Tang Xu somewhat at a loss for words.

It's not a question of whether or not it should be done.

But it was this side of him that made her feel uneasy.

"If these things make you question things, then shouldn't I reflect on whether I did too poorly in the past?" Yan Shiyu continued to ask.

Tang Xu pursed her lips slightly before shaking her head and saying, "It's just... the style is different now."

"How are they different?" Yan Shiyu pressed.

Tang Xu hadn't expected that her question would elicit a series of counter-questions from him. After a moment of silence, she gave a soft hum and said, "Mr. Yan seems to lack a clear understanding of himself. You used to be quite domineering, but lately—"

At this point, Tang Xu paused involuntarily, then raised her hand and gently stroked his face, "Recently... you seem different."

Yan Shiyu suddenly raised his hand and grasped her hand tightly in his palm, his gaze fixed on her face, as if waiting for her to continue speaking.

Tang Xu's eyes flickered for a moment before she spoke again, finally bringing up some related topics: "I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately, and I hope you can release that pressure instead of keeping it bottled up inside... Like today, when I had dinner with Mr. Jiang, if you were unhappy, just show it like you always have, don't keep it inside and say nothing, okay?" Her cautious question, "okay?" made Yan Shiyu fall silent again. After a long while, he pulled her hand to his lips, kissed it, and then asked, "If I tell you, will you choose not to see Jiang Beiheng anymore, and stop maintaining such a good relationship with him?"

In the past, Tang Xu would probably have given him an answer without even thinking.

But this time, she remained silent for a long time, as if she was really considering the feasibility of the problem.

But in the end, Tang Xu was unable to give him a clear answer.

She simply lowered her eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "This kind of thing is not as easy as it sounds."

Seeing her lower her eyes, Yan Shiyu felt a sudden emptiness in his heart. The next moment, he pulled her hand to his lips again and whispered, "If you could do that, you wouldn't be you."

Tang Xu gently raised her eyes and met his gaze again.

“You’re doing great right now,” he said. “Do whatever you want, don’t change for me. I hope… you can always be yourself.”

Tang Xu was stunned for a moment, and her eyes reddened almost unconsciously. She opened her mouth and asked, "And what about you?"

After a moment of silence, Yan Shiyu smiled slightly and said, "Whether I've changed or not, do you think you wouldn't know?"

"But I hope you can change."

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment.

"I hope you can become better, more relaxed, and happier," Tang Xu said softly.

A moment later, Yan Shiyu smiled slightly again, reached out and hugged her tightly, gently stroking the top of her head, and whispered, "Okay, I promise you, there will be such a day... definitely."

Tang Xu was somewhat dazed when she heard this. She couldn't help but reach out and tightly grab his collar, close her eyes, and bury herself even deeper into his arms.
