Marriage Seduction Addiction

After Yan Shiyu finished speaking, Gao Yan froze instantly, staring blankly at Yan Shiyu. When he spoke, he murmured almost obsessively, "How could this be... how could this happen..."

No one answered his question.

After a brief silence, Duan Siwei spoke up: "She knew a long time ago, but never said anything. What if she doesn't care? This happened a long time ago for her; time heals all wounds—"

"What if?" After a long while, Yan Shiyu finally spoke in a low voice, "Isn't forgetting the root of all suffering easier than such a 'what if'?"

Duan Siwei turned his face away, let out a slight breath, and then asked, "Is this feasible?"

"can."

"How are you sure?"

"Yan Yan is a perfect example, isn't she?"

Duan Siwei frowned slightly, "How could you bear to use the same methods that old geezer used on your sister on Tang Xu?"

It's quite unbelievable that someone who hates Old Master Yan so much would resort to the same methods as that person.

Yan Shiyu lowered her eyes. "As long as it's a useful method, why care where it was learned? Am I some kind of moral person?"

Throughout, his expression and tone remained calm, as if he were simply narrating an extremely ordinary event, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

However, Yan Shiyu was never like this in front of Duan Siwei.

Duan Siwei looked at him quietly for a moment, then continued, "Now she will forget all the pain, but what about you? Can you adapt to life without her?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu finally slowly raised her eyes and looked at him.

"Haven't you always hoped that I wouldn't be influenced by the people or things around me, and that I could focus on doing what I wanted to do?"

Duan Siwei nodded. "Yes, before I realized Tang Xu's importance, that's what I thought. But now, you've actually given her up on your own... Yan Shiyu, I'm afraid you'll go completely crazy." Hearing this, Gao Yan, who had been immersed in his own emotions, also looked up instantly, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Yan Shiyu.

However, Yan Shiyu only chuckled softly and did not respond.

Duan Siwei asked, "What exactly do you want to achieve by making this decision?"

“Everyone should pay the price for what they have done,” Yan Shiyu said. “It’s been so long, it’s about time.”

Duan Siwei's eyes suddenly sharpened. "So, it's because Tang Xu would never agree to what you're doing, and her existence would be a hindrance to you, that's why you made this decision?"

Yan Shiyu did not answer his question, but simply said, "That's how things are. You can make your own decision, whether you want to stay or leave, it's entirely up to you."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

Gao Yan remained in a state of extreme panic, staring at Yan Shiyu's retreating figure, unable to utter a single word.

However, Duan Siwei's extremely calm voice rang out once again from the side—

“No, it’s not because she will become a hindrance to you that you made this decision,” Duan Siwei said. “You decided to give her freedom first, and then you wanted to do what you did later—because after losing her, you were utterly devastated, so you wanted to do something completely crazy, right?”

As he spoke, Duan Siwei stood up and strode over to Yan Shiyu. "So giving Tang Xu her freedom is enough? Don't you have any other hope in your life? What about your sister? You've been searching for her for so many years, and now that she's finally back, even her existence can't stop you?"

Yan Shiyu stopped and looked up at Duan Siwei in front of him. After a long while, he slowly said, "I have never looked for this younger sister. In any case, to her, I, as her brother, am only someone who causes her pain and resentment. Wouldn't it be better to just set her free?"

After saying this, Yan Shiyu didn't linger and went straight into the bedroom.

Duan Siwei withdrew his gaze, said nothing more, and turned to leave Qiushuitai.
