Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 467 Conscience
For Ji Yan, this feeling was not unprecedented.

To be precise, it is the calm that gives rise to fear.

Compared to when I was in Huai City, these days have been unusually quiet.

As for Yan Shiyu, ever since the "mother-killing" video was exposed, he has seemed to have disappeared from the world. Apart from making a statement on the return of the Yan family's "illegitimate children" to the family, there has been no other news.

Meanwhile, Lu Xingyan's usual companion suddenly became frequently busy, leaving her with a quiet time that she had longed for but could not have before.

When people quiet down, they tend to think more.

That's when fear began to take root.

But that was just speculation. It was just that the world shouldn't be so quiet, which was why I felt scared.

But now, that feeling of fear has finally begun to grow clearly in Ji Yan's heart.

In front of her, Tang Xu was always rather calm and rational, especially after being "coldly received" by her, and he avoided her whenever possible.

Clearly, that was Tang Xu's original plan for today as well.

But perhaps her appearance was too sudden, leaving Tang Xu unable to muster any defenses, or perhaps the worry and fear in Tang Xu's heart were too overwhelming, instantly crushing her—

She couldn't help but burst into tears in front of her.

What other person or thing could cause Tang Xu to cry like this?
Ji Yan stood there, stunned, trying desperately to rid herself of the feeling of fear, but she had no idea what she should do or what she could do.

When she came to her senses, she suddenly realized that something had brushed against her face.

Unfamiliar, damp, cool.

Ji Yan raised her hand and touched the tears that had slid down her face.

She was confused, scared, and shocked. After a moment of stunned silence, she finally looked up again at Tang Xu's already blurred figure.

What happened to him?

Her voice was terribly hoarse, yet her question was extremely clear, as if a knife were held to her throat, each word cutting like a knife.

But Tang Xu didn't hear a single word.

He didn't answer her.

The two of them were like that, one inside the car, one outside, one sitting, one standing, one sobbing uncontrollably, the other stunned and shedding tears.

Nobody knows what happened.

Even the two people involved didn't know what had happened.

Until Lu Xingyan appeared again.

Upon seeing Ji Yan standing beside the car from afar, he involuntarily stopped in his tracks, and then clearly heard a sigh escape his lips.

He should have known long ago that he couldn't hide it. Faced with two women like these, and after going through all that trouble, he ultimately couldn't conceal anything.

Finally, Lu Xingyan pulled the stiff-bodied Ji Yan into another car behind them.

Ji Yan's attention remained fixed on Tang Xu. Even after getting into another car, she still tried to observe Tang Xu's every move through the two layers of glass in front of her.

She was still crying.

Lu Xingyan sat beside her, remaining silent.

Finally, Ji Yan wiped away her tears, turned to Lu Xingyan, and asked, "She's crying so hard, aren't you going to go see her?"

Lu Xingyan didn't look at her, but turned to look out the window. After a while, she finally answered her, "Let her cry. She never cries easily. She's been holding it in for so long, it's good for her to cry."

Ji Yan withdrew her gaze and remained silent for a moment.

After a long while, Lu Xingyan finally turned around, his clear black and white eyes revealing both clarity and pain: "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

Ji Yan said slowly, "If I ask, will you answer?"

“Now that things have come to this, there’s nothing I can’t say,” Lu Xingyan said. “I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Muchen strode out of the hospital building in front of them.

Lu Xingyan's gaze instantly locked onto Jiang Muchen.

Ji Yan followed his gaze and looked over as well.

Jiang Muchen stood in front of the building and spotted Tang Xu's car at a glance, then walked straight over to it.

He had been walking briskly, but as he got closer, his pace gradually slowed down.

When he finally reached the car, his body, which had been filled with anger, was almost completely stiff.

Because he saw Tang Xu crying.

Tang Xu was actually burying her head and crying.

Upon witnessing this scene, Jiang Muchen remained frozen for a long time before finally managing a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Then he stood there motionless, staring intently at Tang Xu in the car, as if waiting for something.

Time passed slowly, yet the sky gradually darkened.

When Tang Xu finally raised her head, it was already completely dark.

She had been crying for so long that her eyes were swollen and red, but after venting her emotions, she finally managed to sort out her thoughts and looked up at Jiang Muchen standing next to the car.

Jiang Muchen's gaze immediately met Tang Xu's frighteningly red eyes, but his face remained expressionless. He simply opened the car door and said to Tang Xu, "Since we're already here, let's get in and take a look. A person can't be so heartless, can they?"
