Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 422 Siblings
Upon hearing Yan Yi's words, Yan Shiyu's dark and unwavering gaze slowly swept over her. Even without saying a word, a sense of oppression was already palpable.

But Yan Yi seemed oblivious to everything, continuing to chat with Tang Xu as if nothing was amiss.

Seeing that there was no longer any need to be discreet about their relationship, and with Yan Shiyu present, Tang Xu gradually relaxed and asked Yan Yi, "Miss Yan, are you planning to stay in Huai City from now on?"

“Huai City…” Yan Yi smiled, “I don’t like Huai City. I don’t like the climate, the city, and… the people. So I probably won’t stay here for long.”

Tang Xu seemed to be used to her frankness and directness, and was not too surprised to hear this. She simply said, "So you came back this time just to see Ji Shiqing?"

"I guess it was just a coincidence," Yan Yi said. "After all, he's right here, and now that he's back, I should at least come and see him. But he deliberately hid here from me, and by chance, I ended up seeing you too, which is fine."

Tang Xu couldn't help but ask, "How did Miss Yan know me?"

"I heard it from Yan Fengqi."

Tang Xu was stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be Yan Fengqi.

Upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem strange at all.

Ji Shiqing's resistance to Yan Yi is so strong that he refuses to even meet her, which suggests that he doesn't want Yan Yi to know about his own affairs, let alone someone like her.

Furthermore, given Yan Shiyu's personality, it was highly unlikely that he would easily inform others of her existence, let alone someone as "unpredictable" as Yan Yi.

Therefore, Yan Yi must have learned it from someone else, the only strange thing is that the person was actually Yan Fengqi.

If the rumors are true, Yan Yi and Yan Fengqi are not born to the same mother. Although both were heirs abandoned by Old Master Yan, Yan Yi chose to exile herself, while Yan Fengqi was banished. The nature of their actions is quite different.

How could two people like that actually have something to say to each other?

Tang Xu couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Yan Shiyu.

When Yan Shiyu returned to Huai City, Yan Yi had already been gone for many years. Logically, the two shouldn't have had any interaction, but that wasn't the case. They both knew each other to some extent and had certainly met more than once. Although Yan Shiyu's attitude towards Yan Yi wasn't entirely positive, he had also taken on the task of caring for Ji Shiqing… Tang Xu hadn't paid much attention to this before, but now she realized that the relationship between the three Yan siblings was probably more complex than outsiders perceived.

Receiving Tang Xu's gaze, Yan Shiyu looked at Yan Yi sitting opposite him again, "So when do you plan to leave?"

Yan Yi rolled her eyes at him reproachfully and said, "I already said I'm too hungry to walk. I'll leave once I'm full, right? Why are you rushing me? Besides, this is Miss Tang's house, not yours. Even if you're in a hurry to do something, there are two boys inside. Don't you really intend to be discreet at all?"

Tang Xu's hand suddenly stopped for a moment, and for a moment he felt that it was inappropriate to say anything, so he could only remain silent.

Yan Shiyu's expression was utterly indifferent, and he didn't even bother to change the tone of his voice—

"First, I am indeed anxious. Second, my patience is limited."

Tang Xu rarely heard Yan Shiyu speak in such a tone, and couldn't help but gently reach out and shake his hand.

Yan Yi, however, seemed completely unafraid and continued to say to Tang Xu, "Miss Tang, can you do something about him? Is this how you treat a guest?"

Tang Xu really had no way to handle this battle of wits, so he could only stand up and say to Yan Shiyu, "I'll go get you a glass of water."

She got up and went into the kitchen. After lingering for two minutes, when she came out, she saw Yan Shiyu still sitting there with the same posture and expression as before, while Yan Yi was already wiping her hands.

Seeing Tang Xu come out, Yan Yi turned around and smiled at her, saying, "Miss Tang, I'm full, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll be leaving now."

Tang Xu was taken aback. "Miss Yan is leaving already? Aren't you going to wait for Ji Shiqing to come out so you can see her one last time?"

"No need, seeing you is enough. I won't insist on anything else," Yan Yi said with a smile. "Miss Tang's home is so warm and welcoming. I hope I'll have the chance to visit again. Goodbye!"

Before Tang Xu could react, Yan Yi had already put on her coat, opened the door, and left.

Looking at the door that had been closed again, Tang Xu was still a little dazed. She turned to Yan Shiyu and asked, "What did you say to her? Why did she suddenly leave?"
