Marriage Seduction Addiction

Sometimes, when news finally comes about something you've been waiting for a long time, it can be terrifying because you don't know what kind of message is hidden behind it.

At this time, Duan Siwei called, also to tell Tang Xujiang and Bei Heng the news.

The probability of information being wrong when both sides receive it simultaneously is extremely low, indicating that Jiang Beiheng truly has a definite whereabouts.

His whereabouts have been discovered, which means that Yan Shiyu, who has been missing for several days, has finally taken action.

But what decision he made in this matter, and what his reasons were, no one in Huai City knows right now.

“Since Jiang Beiheng is still in California, I suspect he went there too. I’m preparing to fly there immediately,” Duan Siwei said. “I think you should come with me.”

Tang Xu turned her face away, and after a long while, she softly replied, "Okay."

Once on the plane arranged by Duan Siwei, Tang Xu discovered that Gao Yan was also there.

There were only six private compartments in the entire first class cabin, and only the three of them were there, making it quiet and private.

Seeing that Tang Xu's face looked terrible, before Gao Yan could even speak, Duan Siwei ordered, "Find a seat and rest to recover your energy. You'll probably have a lot to do over there."

"Okay." Tang Xu simply responded and then followed Duan Siwei's instructions, heading towards the last row of private rooms.

Gao Yan was still worried, so he went to the seat diagonally opposite Tang Xu, only to find that Tang Xu had not closed the door of the private room or adjusted the seat. He simply wrapped himself in a blanket and turned to quietly look out the window.

Gao Yan sat there, glancing over every now and then. Seeing that Tang Xu showed no sign of closing her eyes, he finally couldn't resist and got up to walk over.

“Miss Tang, don’t worry too much,” Gao Yan said to her. “I think that, given the current situation, Mr. Yan’s condition may be improving.”

Tang Xu slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on him, and listened quietly as he continued.

Gao Yan knew that with Tang Xu's thinking ability, there was probably no need for him to analyze these things here, but he just felt that if he could talk to Tang Xu, perhaps she would feel better.

“Mr. Yan has done many things I didn’t know about during this time. By the time I realized what he was doing, he had already pushed these things to their final stages…” Gao Yan carefully chose his words before speaking cautiously. “You know, his original plan wasn’t like this. He originally had a long-term plan, intending to achieve his goals gradually. But now, he has clearly changed his mind. He abandoned you and Miss Ji because he didn’t intend to leave himself a way out… You know his personality; once he makes a decision, it’s very difficult to change it. So I almost thought that Jiang Beiheng was definitely doomed… But now, Jiang Beiheng has actually been released! Miss Tang, this means you changed his mind! He discovered that you haven’t lost your memory, he discovered that he wasn’t completely without worries, so he changed his mind. He didn’t continue to push forward his obsessive revenge plan… How can this not be a good thing?”

Tang Xu listened quietly to him finish speaking, then smiled slightly, "Yes, it's a good thing."

"So you should get some rest first. After you wake up and the plane lands, you might be able to see him."

"okay."

Seeing that she responded, Gao Yan got up and asked the flight attendant to make up the bed for Tang Xu. Watching the door of the private room slowly close, Gao Yan returned to his seat, looked out the window, and couldn't help but sigh.

……

The plane landed at Los Angeles Airport, where Lu Xingyan's car was already waiting.

After Tang Xu passed through customs and walked out of the airport hall, she immediately saw Lu Xingyan leaning against the car.

Lu Xingyan probably didn't expect that she would be the first to come out. She immediately stood up straight and her gaze followed Tang Xu almost completely until she came in front of her.

The person who was usually eloquent and could casually point at Tang Xu's head and curse her was now inexplicably speechless, just quietly looking at her, as if waiting for some kind of verdict.

After staring at him quietly for a long time, Tang Xu finally spoke: "How is Xingyang? Is your leg better?"

Lu Xingyan choked for a moment, then slowly said, "The recovery is going quite well."

"That's good." Tang Xu responded without saying anything more, turned around, opened the car door, and got into the car.

Lu Xingyan was stunned for a moment when she didn't receive the treatment she had expected. When she looked up again, Duan Siwei and Gao Yan were already standing in front of her.

Duan Siwei glanced at him with a look of anticipation, then said, "I'll leave Tang Xu to you. You two go to the hospital together; Jiang Beiheng should be able to find out some information. Let's take care of other things first."

After such a brief exchange, Lu Xingyan didn't say anything more. He hesitated for a moment as he turned to open the door—at that moment, he was actually considering whether he should sit in the passenger seat. However, after a moment of hesitation, he finally opened the back door and sat down next to Tang Xu.

As the car drove out of the airport, a suffocating silence hung between the two of them. Lu Xingyan and Tang Xu had known each other for many years and were used to speaking their minds. After five minutes, Lu Xingyan couldn't take it anymore and turned to Tang Xu, saying, "You can blame me if you want, you can yell at me if you want... Anyway, it's already happened, and we can't pretend it never happened."

Tang Xu had been looking out the window for a while before turning her gaze away, letting out a soft sigh, and said, "I don't even blame the one who started this. If I were to get angry with you now, wouldn't that seem like I'm showing too much favoritism?"

"Then what do you mean by this?" Lu Xingyan said, "You haven't said a word since we met... You must have something to say to me, right?"

"Firstly, we just met in Chengdu a few days ago. Secondly, I really don't have the mood or energy to talk about anything else, so could you please stop making demands of me?"

If Lu Xingyan didn't understand Tang Xu, she would most likely think that this was just a woman being hypocritical.

But precisely because he understood Tang Xu, he was certain that Tang Xu was telling the truth.

But that matter...

He couldn't help but ask again, "You're really not angry with me?"

Tang Xu turned to look out the window again and said, "I'll have plenty of time to settle things with you later."

Lu Xingyan listened, remained silent for a moment, and finally let the topic pass. He then told her about Jiang Beiheng's situation—

"Jiang Beiheng was found in the desert, a place that was originally sparsely populated. An expedition team happened to drive in and encountered him. When they found him, he had been walking alone in the desert for an unknown amount of time and was nearly exhausted. He fainted as soon as he saw people. Because of the severe depletion of his physical functions, he finally regained consciousness and woke up two hours ago."

Tang Xu listened quietly, and after a long silence, she looked at him again and said, "Could you go and check on him for me?"

Lu Xingyan was taken aback and said, "You're already here, why don't you go see him yourself?"

"How can I have the face to go?" Tang Xu said. "When he was imprisoned and his life was hanging in the balance, I did not do a single thing to find him or protect his life... Now that he is safe, I want to go to him and ask him about the whereabouts of the murderer... Lu Xingyan, even if I have a thick skin, I shouldn't do such a thing, right?"

After listening for a while, Lu Xingyan muttered, "If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to have really lost my memory... then I wouldn't have had to deal with all this mess."

Tang Xu suddenly turned around and glanced at him.

Lu Xingyan had countless arguments in her mind to prove this point, but after meeting Tang Xu's gaze, all those arguments vanished instantly.

……

When the car arrived at the hospital where Jiang Beiheng was, Lu Xingyan saw that Tang Xu was still sitting motionless and knew that she would not change her mind, so she could only push open the door and get out of the car and walk into the hospital.

Tang Xu was filled with confusion and bewilderment, her thoughts completely tangled, and she could only stare at the various pedestrians outside the car window in a state of utter emptiness.

Suddenly, a face that was all too familiar appeared in my sight.

Tang Xu's gaze suddenly froze, her blank mind searching for a long time before she finally realized what was happening—

That's Ji Yan.

She did look much better; she was no longer in a wheelchair, but was standing by a car on the side of the road, quietly looking in the direction where Tang Xu was.

They stared at each other for a long time. After noticing the change in Tang Xu's expression, she dragged her still-healing leg and limped over.

"I heard you lost your memory, but why do you look at me like you still recognize me?"

Tang Xu finally managed to pull his gaze away from her face, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "Even if I lose my memory, I will still recognize you."

“That’s true,” Ji Yan said. “But then you wouldn’t have answered my question like that. You haven’t lost your memory at all.”

"Why did you come here?" Tang Xu asked.

Ji Yan slightly raised her chin and said, "I want to see just how many things you're hiding from me." (End of Chapter)
