Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 410 Registration
For some reason, the feeling of being kept in the dark by the whole world was fermenting in Tang Xu's heart at this moment, and eventually it expanded infinitely.

From Yan Shiyu's attitude towards Ji Yan after losing his composure, and the change in his attitude towards her, to the meaning behind Lu Xingyan's words that she seemed to understand but didn't quite grasp.

They all seemed to be trying to prove to her that life was good now, and that it would get even better in the future.

But Tang Xu didn't know where this "goodness" came from.

From her perspective, there was absolutely no hope of "good" for her.

But they always seemed to be telling her that the things troubling her now would eventually be resolved.

Is it really possible to solve this problem?
What methods can be used to resolve these current predicaments?

What also made Tang Xuxin uneasy was—

Lu Xingyan knew her secret.

She had confided her innermost thoughts to him, so he knew what hopes and plans she had for the future.

But now, he has chosen to stand with Yan Shiyu instead.

He and Yan Shiyu shared a secret.

What about her secret?

Did Yan Shiyu know what she was hiding in her heart?

Tang Xu suddenly recalled the scene where she had been startled awake from her sleep earlier—

It seemed that more than once, she would wake up from a nightmare and find Yan Shiyu sitting beside her, quietly watching her.

What was hidden in his eyes at that time?
And what kind of look did he give her when she was asleep?
Is it because he found out that he suddenly became so gentle, going along with her and indulging her every whim?

But then?
What are his plans?
Tang Xu knew nothing about it.

Yes, after Lu Xingyan praised her as the person who understood Yan Shiyu the most, she once again found herself "knowing nothing" about him.

She knew perfectly well that they were hiding something very important from her, but at that moment, she felt utterly powerless.

She didn't dare to ask.

If they believe these things must be kept from her, what will be the consequences if she finds out beforehand?
Will Yan Shiyu remain silent, tell her everything frankly, or take more radical measures?

Tang Xu dared not even think about it.

Yes, perhaps on some level, she truly understood him.

Or perhaps her past experiences were too painful and profound, leaving her with indelible memories.

She couldn't even try to touch it.

Tang Xu sat there blankly for a long time, then suddenly started the car again, turned it around, and drove towards the Yan family's direction.

The car drove very smoothly, and in just twenty minutes we arrived at the CBD filled with skyscrapers.

Tang Xu called Yan Shiyu when he was almost at the Yan family's residence.

The call was answered quickly.

Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Tang Xu smiled slightly and asked, "Are you at the company?"

"exist."

Are you busy right now?

"I'm not busy," Yan Shiyu said in a light and gentle voice. "What's wrong?"

"Could you come down here?" Tang Xu said. "I just arrived at the Yan family."

There was a sudden two-second silence on Yan Shiyu's end before he asked, "What happened?"

"What could it be?" Tang Xu said. "I just want to see you right now. Are you coming down or not?"

"Where are you?" Yan Shiyu could be heard getting up on the other end.

Tang Xu drove the car into the parking lot and said, "I'll wait for you on the third basement level."

Just as her car reached the elevator entrance on the third basement level, Yan Shiyu appeared.

Tang Xu immediately stopped the car, rolled down the window, leaned out and smiled at him, "Isn't this a coincidence? Get in the car."

Yan Shiyu's gaze was fixed on her face before he opened the car door and got in.

Tang Xu reached directly into his clothes and asked, "Do you have your wallet with you?"

Yan Shiyu watched her movements, remaining motionless and silent for a moment.

Tang Xu couldn't touch anything, so he could only reluctantly withdraw his hand.

That's true. Someone of his status wouldn't need to carry his wallet on his person.

Thinking this, she quickly took out her phone and dialed a number, "Have Gao Yan bring it down." "What do you need the wallet for?" Yan Shiyu asked.

"Lend me some cash," Tang Xu said. "Even if your wallet is just for show, you must have a few bills, right?"

After Tang Xu finished answering, he turned around and gave instructions to Gao Yan over the phone.

"Yaoyao." Yan Shiyu kept looking at her. "What are you going to do?"

"I already told you I need to borrow money," Tang Xu said. "What, you won't lend it to me?"

"I'm asking you, what do you need the cash for?" Yan Shiyu asked again.

Tang Xu tapped her fingers lightly on the steering wheel, smiled gently, and said, "You'll find out soon enough."

Within two minutes, Gao Yan appeared in the parking lot with Yan Shiyu's wallet. Tang Xu rolled down the car window, took the wallet, opened it, and saw cash inside. She smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work. Can your boss lend me twenty minutes?"

While Gao Yan was completely bewildered, Tang Xu stepped on the gas and drove the car away.

Her condition was quite unusual. Yan Shiyu sat in the passenger seat of her car and didn't look at her again until the car drove out of the underground parking lot.

"Where are we going?" Yan Shiyu asked.

As the car merged into traffic, Tang Xu finally spoke: "To the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Yan Shiyu's eyes darkened slightly. "Yaoyao?"

"I've thought about it. Why not just do it today? Registration is simple now anyway. I have your ID in my wallet, and I brought mine too. We can just go straight there. It's a weekday afternoon, and the civil affairs bureau in this district is always the quietest. It might even take less than twenty minutes!"

Before Tang Xu could finish speaking, Yan Shiyu had already reached out and placed his hand on hers, which was gripping the steering wheel. "Today?"

“Yes, today,” Tang Xu answered confidently. “Anyway, we’re not superstitious. A day that belongs to just the two of us is a good day, isn’t it?”

“But…” Yan Shiyu still held her hand, “we haven’t prepared anything.”

“We don’t need to prepare anything,” Tang Xu said. “Sometimes being too prepared can lead to unexpected problems. Like we are now, doing whatever comes to mind might bring unexpected and wonderful results.”

As Tang Xu spoke, she took the opportunity to grab her phone and free it from his grasp. She glanced at the map on her phone and showed it to him, saying, "Look, we'll be there in five minutes."

"Yaoyao." Yan Shiyu pressed her hand down again and said, "Today was too rushed. We didn't make any arrangements. We don't even know how many people are at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Let's wait until everything is arranged before we go."

Tang Xu paused for a moment before turning to look at him again and said, "Then why don't you ask Gao Yan to make the arrangements now? With his efficiency, he should be able to get it done in an hour, right? We can just wait outside for an hour; it won't be too difficult, will it? Why don't you call Gao Yan now?"

“Gao Yan has other things to do and can’t get away,” Yan Shiyu said.

The person who was just able to go downstairs to deliver the wallet is now unable to do so.

Tang Xu pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll find someone else to help."

As she spoke, she pulled her hand out of Yan Shiyu's palm again, quickly opened her contacts, and after a quick search, found Duan Siwei's number.

Just as she was about to make the call, Yan Shiyu grabbed her hand again.

This time, instead of a gentle grip, he directly stopped her movement.

Tang Xu turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road before turning to look at him.

He was looking at her too, but Tang Xu couldn't tell what was hidden in his eyes.

"Tell me, why do we have to register today?" Yan Shiyu asked.

"I said I just want to pick any day and finalize this as soon as possible, is that not allowed?" Tang Xu said. "Then tell me, why not today? If not today, then what about tomorrow, or the day after? I don't want to wait until winter break, I just want it to be done as soon as possible."

After a long silence, Yan Shiyu finally spoke, "Okay, I promise I'll do it as soon as possible. But please give me a little more time, okay?"

"Then can you tell me exactly what time you need?" Tang Xu said. "Does this time conflict with our registration process?"

Yan Shiyu slowly pulled her hand to his lips, gazed at her intently, and whispered, "It's not a conflict, it's that I hope... to make a vow to you when things are at their most peaceful, but now is not the most peaceful time."

Tang Xu said, "Is winter break a time for peace and quiet?"

"I will make that day come as soon as possible," Yan Shiyu said.

"I don't understand." Tang Xu withdrew her gaze and turned to look ahead. "I don't know what you're thinking, and I don't know what your plans are... After you say that, it seems like I can only continue to wait silently for that day to come."

"Yaoyao." Yan Shiyu reached out and pulled her face towards him, looking into her eyes again, and gently stroked the redness at the corner of her eyes.

Tang Xu looked at him and said, "Actually, I really want to ask you what you've been doing lately, but I know that you won't say a word about things you don't want me to know, no matter what. Never mind, it's fine if you don't want to say. I'll just wait."

After saying that, Tang Xu looked away, lowered her head slightly, wiped her eyes with her palm, and then reached back onto the steering wheel. "I'll take you back to the company."

Seeing her like this, Yan Shiyu reached out again and firmly grasped her hands.

After a long silence, Yan Shiyu finally spoke softly, "I promise you, I will let you know everything I do in the days to come. I promise I will tell you anything you want to know, and I will let you wait for that day to come with complete peace of mind, okay?"

Tang Xu stared at him blankly for a long time before finally whispering, "Really?"

Yan Shiyu leaned forward and kissed her reddened eyes.

“I will always remember this afternoon, and I will always remember what you said,” he said. “I know what is most important to me. Yao Yao, I will never make you unhappy again.”
