Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 394 Ceremony
To be honest, when Tang Xu saw Meng Tianyou's call, she was almost immediately thrown into a state of mental confusion, so much so that she was too distracted to avoid the car that was crossing the lane and turning in time.

The moment she hit the car, her first thought was—it's over, I might miss tonight's concert.

But only she knew that, subconsciously, behind this thought that flashed through her mind, she actually felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps missing that concert isn't a regret, but rather, given her current state of mind, appearing before Yan Shiyu might be the real regret.

However, after the people arranged by Yan Shiyu appeared, her mindset changed once again.

After returning to his side, life became too peaceful, so peaceful that she almost forgot that he often arranged for people to be around her—and because life was peaceful, she hadn't noticed their presence.

At this moment, seeing them helping her deal with the accident, and hearing Yan Shiyu's concern on the phone, Tang Xu felt that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she should be there for the concert on time.

Thinking of this, Tang Xu suddenly pushed open the door and got out of the car.

The man closest to her quickly stepped forward, "Miss Tang, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm handing my car over to you. Please take care of the accident and drive it back for me. I'll be going now."

After saying that, Tang Xu turned around and walked through the slow-moving traffic to the road.

She was wearing a light dress and high heels, which were not really suitable for taking public transportation, but Tang Xu didn't care about that right now. After walking a few hundred meters forward, she quickly followed the flow of people into the subway station entrance.

The subway during rush hour is like hell, especially in busy areas like the city center. Tang Xu was squeezed in the swarming crowd and had to wait until the third subway train before finally getting on. After two transfers and taking a taxi after exiting the station, the journey took nearly an hour and twenty minutes before finally arriving at the City Concert Hall.

Staff members greeted Tang Xu at the entrance and led her inside.

Tang Xu had never seen such a quiet concert hall before.

In the past, people would come here only when there were performances, and the place would be bustling with crowds.

It turns out that this place can be this quiet when there are no public performances.

Tang Xu followed the other person through the empty hall, but when they arrived at the heavy door of the performance hall, Tang Xu suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute."

The staff were about to open the door to let Tang Xu in when they heard this and stopped and turned around.

Tang Xu only said one sentence: "I need to go to the restroom."

Standing under the bright lights of the spacious restroom, Tang Xu looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but feel glad that she hadn't walked into the performance hall looking like this.

In any case, going through a crowded evening rush hour is bound to be a bit of a hassle.

Tang Xu tidied her hair and dress in front of the mirror, carefully touched up her makeup, and reapplied her lipstick before leaving the bathroom.

The heavy doors of the performance hall were finally opened, and the staff gestured for Tang Xu to enter.

The huge concert hall was empty and quiet, with rows of empty red seats stretching out in front of you, eventually landing on the only black figure in the middle of the front row.

Yan Shiyu stood up and went to greet her.

If you look closely, this place and time seems no different from being at home.

It was still a private space, still just the two of them, and still only had eyes for each other.

But ultimately, there are still some differences.

For so long, she had always seen him at home, so much so that she hadn't seen him wear such a formal suit in a long time. The black suit was pressed and crisp, the color that suited him best, making him look even more aloof and upright.

In this spacious yet private space, he walked through rows of empty seats, step by step toward her.

As he drew closer, Tang Xu's heart suddenly began to beat faster. There were no witnesses, no music to accompany them, yet this place seemed to become the grandest stage because of his approach.

He walked towards her with firm steps, as if he were about to complete some kind of ritual.

The ritual involves standing in front of her and reaching out to hold her hand.

The moment he held her hand in his palm, Tang Xu couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Yan Shiyu's gaze fell on her face. He examined her carefully for a while, and after confirming that she had not been hurt in any way because of the previous scrape, he raised her hand to his lips and placed a deep kiss on it.

"It's very nice," he said.

Tang Xu responded without hesitation: "Likewise."

Yan Shiyu's gaze fell on her smile, and he lowered his head to gently kiss the corner of her lips.

After they took their seats hand in hand, the curtains on the stage slowly rose.

The pianist's music, sometimes as light as a whisper, sometimes as powerful as a heartbeat, flows from the air, enveloping this space in their own unique world.

This world is so noisy and grand, yet this melody is played only for them at this moment.

There was such a moment, and there were so many moments before—

enough.

That's more than enough.

After the concert, the two returned to Royal Bay together.

No one mentioned anyone else or anything else, not even Ji Yan, whom Tang Xu cared about the most.

That night, the whole world seemed to quietly collapse, leaving only the small space of Royal Bay, where the two of them could embrace tightly in the cold, lonely night.

……

The next morning, Tang Xu called Lu Xingyan again on her way to work.

Lu Xingyan's voice no longer sounded as deep as it had yesterday, and the background noise suggested he was outdoors.

"Did you leave so early this morning?" Tang Xu asked. "What are you doing?"

"Walking the dog," Lu Xingyan replied.

Tang Xu paused for a moment before asking, "Where's Xingyang?"

Lu Xingyan replied, "I'll have breakfast at the restaurant."

Tang Xu immediately sensed something and said, "You didn't just happen to walk the dog into the restaurant where she's eating, did you?"

"So what if it is?" Lu Xingyan retorted without any politeness.

Tang Xu felt a slight sense of relief, chuckled, and then said, "Not so good. You just scolded her yesterday. Good luck!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a new call came in on her phone. Tang Xu glanced at the name on the screen, quickly hung up the call with Lu Xingyan, and answered the new call.

"You said you'd get back to me yesterday, and I waited for you until late at night, you know?" Meng Tianyou said with a mournful tone on the other end of the phone. "My sister is so heartless!"

Tang Xu let out a soft breath and simply replied, "What would you like to eat?"
