Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 396 Hot Spring Villa
Tang Xu had just woken up from her sleep, her mind still a complete blank. And right now, Yan Shiyu was right in front of her. The more she tried to convince herself to return to normal, the more the two states of mind tore at each other, making it impossible for her to calm down.

Having no other choice, she could only instinctively seek help from outside, clinging tightly to him as if trying to use him as an anchor point to find her own direction to dock.

Yan Shiyu could clearly sense that she was hugging him with almost all her strength, and when he turned his head slightly, he could vaguely see her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.

Almost all of her movements were subconscious, so she had no idea how much force she was using.

She would never know that at this moment, Yan Shiyu was looking at her with such a sorrowful and suffocating gaze.

What kind of fear and unease was hidden in her heart that made her so unable to control herself after waking up?

It happened once, and it happened twice...

But when she was with him, she always smiled.

What kind of pain and torment did she endure alone?
And when she's with him, how much strength does she need to hide her unease and face him with a smile?

Yan Shiyu was unaware.

And pain is never lessened by the unknown.

He reached out, his long arm encircling her tightly, his large hand gently patting the back of her head. He lowered his gaze and whispered in her ear, "It's alright, Yao Yao, you can wake up now..."

Buried in his arms, listening to his voice, it still took Tang Xu a long time to finally come to her senses.

When she came to her senses, she seemed a little lost, and it took her a while to finally look up at him. "Didn't you say you had a meeting tonight and wouldn't be coming back?"

Yan Shiyu looked down at her and said, "If I don't come back, you won't even go into your room, and you'll just fall asleep on the sofa?"

Tang Xu avoided his gaze and leaned on his shoulder. "I just wanted to rest for a while, and I don't know how I fell asleep..."

After a long while, Yan Shiyu's deep, slow voice rang in my ears again: "What did you dream about?"

"I don't remember..." Tang Xu murmured, "It's a dream, you forget it most of the time when you wake up..."

Yan Shiyu did not ask any further questions.

Much later, Tang Xu seemed to have finally returned to normal. She composed herself, quickly went into the bathroom, took a shower, and finally returned to her bedroom.

Yan Shiyu was sitting on the bed sending messages on her phone when she saw Tang Xu come in, and she quickly put down her phone.

Tang Xu sat on the bed, glanced at the phone he had put down, and then asked, "Did you come back before you finished your work? Is there anything else you need to take care of?"

"No." Yan Shiyu didn't look at the phone again, reached out and pulled her into his arms, turned off the bedside lamp, and said, "Go to sleep."

The bedroom was suddenly plunged into darkness, but because of his presence, the darkness seemed to have an added sense of peace.

Tang Xu found a comfortable position in his arms and lay down quietly.

Although it was dark, the two people who knew each other well were aware that the other was not asleep. However, neither of them moved or spoke, as if they were simply waiting for sleep to come.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Shiyu's voice rang out again: "Let's go up the mountain in a couple of days, soak in the hot springs, and have a good rest?"

After a moment of silence, Tang Xu chuckled and said, "It's the season for hot springs, isn't it?"

She didn't ask any further questions, only replying with two words: "Okay!"

Yan Shiyu remained silent for a long time before finally lowering his head and gently kissing her lips, following the familiar curve and scent.

……

We said we'd go to a hot spring in a couple of days, but in reality, it took until after the weekend.

Tang Xu was not free on the weekend, which was a consensus between the two of them, and Yan Shiyu's schedule did not make things difficult for her.

On Monday evening, the two set off by car, heading towards a location in the suburbs.

The car drove smoothly through the night and soon got on the highway, speeding along the way.

In this reassuring environment, Tang Xu leaned against Yan Shiyu's chest and drifted off to sleep, eventually falling asleep.

She slept very soundly, and when she woke up again, the car was already parked in an underground parking garage. Yan Shiyu simply carried her out of the car.

It was very quiet around, almost no sound could be heard, so it must be far away from the city.

Tang Xu leaned against him, and asked groggily, "What time is it?"

"Two o'clock," Yan Shiyu replied, then added, "Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

Tang Xu responded softly and let Yan Shiyu carry her upstairs to her room.

Tang Xu slept soundly until dawn.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a huge floor-to-ceiling window directly opposite the bed, and outside the window at that moment, there was a white world covered in silver.

Tang Xu sat up abruptly from the bed.

The next moment, a hand reached out from under the covers and pulled her back into the warm bed.

Tang Xu suddenly fell into a familiar embrace, and after a moment of stunned silence, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After all, when she usually woke up, he was usually the only one in bed.

He was either already washing up or had left long ago. It was extremely rare for her to be pulled back into bed like this.

It's rare to see something like this, so it feels novel.

Although the room was warm and the temperature was comfortable, Tang Xu, having just caught a glimpse of the vast expanse of white snow outside, couldn't resist the warmth of the blankets. She nestled quietly in his arms for a moment before asking, "Where did you bring me?"

Although it's already December, it hasn't snowed in Huai City yet. Most of the mountains in the suburbs aren't very high, so if you can see this much snow, it must be quite far from Huai City.

"You didn't ask me on the way yesterday, and now you're asking? It's too late." Although Yan Shiyu had just opened her eyes, her voice sounded extremely clear, as if she had been awake for a long time.

Tang Xu chuckled softly, then hugged his waist tighter and said, "If you had left me and run away, I might have been a little worried. But you're still here, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

The two lay quietly in bed, chatting about trivial things for a while before Tang Xu finally lifted the covers, got out of bed, walked to the French windows, and pushed open a small window next to them.

A cold wind, carrying a refreshing chill and a few snowflakes, swept over Tang Xu, who couldn't help but take a deep breath and chuckle softly.

After spending a long time in the city, everything related to nature can bring joy.

Yan Shiyu stepped forward from behind and embraced her from behind.

“It’s just snow,” he said. “Is there anything to be happy about?”

"I'm happy," Tang Xu said. "It's been so long since I've seen such beautiful snow, of course I'm happy."

She couldn't resist reaching out the window to catch some snowflakes drifting in the air, but the next moment, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a black figure in the snow below—

Tang Xu was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, taking several steps back while leaning against Yan Shiyu's body.

Yan Shiyu followed her gaze and looked outside, and soon saw the person passing by.

Tang Xu suddenly turned around and looked up at Yan Shiyu in front of her. "Am I seeing things? Is that person downstairs... Fu Jiali?"

“It’s him,” Yan Shiyu said calmly.

Tang Xu's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but grip the robe wrapped around Yan Shiyu tightly with both hands. "Why is he here?"

“This is the Fu family’s property, so of course he can stay here.”

"The Fu family's businesses? Aren't they open to the public?" Tang Xu asked hurriedly.

"Not open to the public."

Tang Xu breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked softly, "Is it alright for him to be here...?"

Although Fu Jiali had sensed the relationship between the two from the beginning, and even deliberately stirred things up in a way that was hard to explain, it was not something that was out in the open.

Before this, Tang Xu had never faced Fu Jiali together with Yan Shiyu, so for a moment, she was still unsure whether this development was a good thing.

Yan Shiyu reached out and stroked her hair, whispering comforting words, "It's okay."

The next moment, Tang Xu tensed up again and asked, "Besides him, are there any other people here?"

After all, Fu Jiali was known for his ability to get friends together and organize large-scale events to attract his friends. Tang Xu wasn't sure if this time would be the same.

Yan Shiyu did not give her a clear answer, but only said, "Perhaps."

This answer did not satisfy Tang Xu. She grabbed Yan Shiyu and insisted on getting a clear answer from him.

Yan Shiyu looked down at her and said, "So what if there are other people? Is there anything right now that we can't let others know?"

Tang Xu did not answer his question, but instead stood directly on the back of his feet, continuing to force him to answer with her gaze.

Although many obstacles between the two no longer seem to be obstacles, her past identity is still a ticking time bomb for him. Once their relationship is exposed, who knows what kind of storm it will cause.

No matter the time, Tang Xu didn't want to cause him any more trouble, let alone now.

Faced with Tang Xu's burning gaze, Yan Shiyu finally lowered his head, gently kissed her forehead, and whispered, "Just enjoy it."

Even though Tang Xu already had a general idea of ​​the answer in her mind, she only completely relaxed when she received his clear reply. After giving a soft hum, she bumped her head against his head.

When they collided head-on, Yan Shiyu didn't react at all. Instead, Tang Xu cried out "Ouch!" and glared at him resentfully while clutching her forehead.

This glare was completely unreasonable, but Yan Shiyu accepted it anyway, gently patting her reddened forehead, and then picked her up again and put her back on the bed.

By the time the two finally left the room, it was lunchtime.

This is a hot spring resort consisting of twelve independent holiday cabins, occupying a secluded mountain valley. It has everything from natural hot springs and horse farms to hunting grounds, which is very much in line with Fu Jiali's consistent style.

Lunch can be delivered from the restaurant, or you can go to the restaurant to eat on your own.

Tang Xu chose the latter.

It was Fu Jiali's place after all, and since Fu Jiali already knew about their relationship, Tang Xu felt she should still go and say hello to him.

When Yan Shiyu led her into the restaurant, Tang Xu was still a little uncomfortable.

It was broad daylight after all.

Previously, all their public appearances were after midnight, so this sudden reversal of day and night is quite unusual.

However, Tang Xu quickly recovered. But the next moment, when she saw a strange woman sitting opposite Fu Jiali in the restaurant, she panicked for a moment. Almost instinctively, she was about to take a step back and break free from Yan Shiyu's grasp. But Yan Shiyu seemed to have anticipated her move. He held her hand tightly without loosening his grip. Instead, he gently pulled her forward and pulled her into his arms.
