Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 47 He said that the interest on borrowing my things was very high.
Tang Xu slowly opened her eyes.

“What a pleasant surprise,” she said. “Why did Mr. Yan think of calling me? Did he miss me?”

The other end of the phone fell silent once again.

Yan Shiyu did not answer.

"Ah, so you didn't miss me after all," Tang Xu said. "Then, Mr. Yan, is there something you want to tell me?"

After a moment, Yan Shiyu said, "I want you to go to sleep early."

Tang Xu said, "Waking people up so they can go to sleep earlier... Mr. Yan is really considerate."

"I won't bother you anymore," Yan Shiyu said. "Go to sleep."

"No!" Tang Xu suddenly spoke up, stopping him from hanging up. "Mr. Yan's voice is so pleasant. I want to listen a little longer, is that not allowed?"

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment before asking again, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Tang Xu said, "Although Mr. Yan doesn't miss me, I miss you... I wish you were here with me right now."

Her shameless confession silenced Yan Shiyu once again. After a long while, he finally asked, "What happened?"

"Why do you always ask me this question?" Tang Xu said. "It's nothing, nothing... nothing at all, I just miss you, is that not allowed?"

She shifted her position on the sofa and asked again, "When are you coming back?"

"The night after tomorrow."

"It's so far away," Tang Xu said. "If I had known, I would have gone with you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard someone calling her from the other end of the phone.

"Are you still busy?" Tang Xu asked.

"Mm," Yan Shiyu responded.

"Then I won't bother you anymore," Tang Xu said. "I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight."

Tang Xu hung up the phone and was about to put it away when she remembered that she had put it on silent.

She then continued to sleep on the sofa in that extremely strange position.

……

The next day, Tang Xu woke up on the sofa with a sore back and aching muscles. She struggled to get up, feeling like she was going to collapse.

There was nothing here, so she went into the bathroom and could only wash her face with her hands.

After coming out, Tang Xu decided to order some takeout and buy some things.

Then, when Tang Xu picked up her phone and saw more than a dozen missed calls, she couldn't help but frown.

Looking through her call log, she saw that the calls came from several investment banks that had rejected her, as well as people like Wu Yu and He Yan, who had given her a hard time.

Tang Xu looked at the list and felt a chill run down her spine.

Putting everything else aside, Wu Yu and He Yan are undoubtedly Jiang Muchen's men.

These two were even people he had promised to get to help her after she agreed to meet Madame Chiang.

The fact that so many people are now contacting her is undoubtedly at Jiang Muchen's behest.

What is he planning to do now?
Is it because he felt he couldn't get things done last night, so he's using these people to offer her some benefits in order to lure her into submission?

What if she refuses?

What will Jiang Muchen do to her?
As Tang Xu was thinking this, Wu Yu suddenly called again.

"My dear niece, you finally answered the phone?" Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the line. "Do you remember that project you came to talk to me about before? I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Your father and I are old friends, how can I let your Song Group give up so much to continue the project? So I've thought it through, let's stick to the old contract, and the project will start tomorrow, how about that?"

Tang Xu hung up the phone immediately, then sent a message to Lu Xingyan and turned off her phone.

That day, Tang Xu was busy around her little house.

I went out and bought a bunch of household supplies. When I came back, I arranged and cleaned the house inside and out. I was busy all day long before I finally made the house a livable place.

After taking another shower, Tang Xu finally realized she was hungry. When she picked up her phone to order takeout, she remembered that her phone had been off all day.

After restarting, all sorts of useful and useless messages flooded into my phone.

Tang Xu was too lazy to look at anything else; all she wanted to do was find something to eat. But as soon as she opened the food delivery app, another call came in.

It is Gao Yan.

Tang Xu answered the phone quickly.

Gao Yan breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. "Ms. Tang, your call is finally connected. Where are you?"

"I'm home," Tang Xu said. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Home?" Gao Yan's voice sounded full of doubt. "No one's at the Song family's house. Are you inside?"

Tang Xu was also a little confused. After realizing what was happening, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you in Huai City?"

"Mm," Gao Yan responded.

"What about him?"

Half an hour later, the doorbell of Tangxu's cottage rang. The moment the door opened, Tangxu rushed into Yan Shiyu's arms, hugged his neck tightly, and buried her face in his shoulder and neck.

Yan Shiyu seemed to freeze for a moment before leading her inside and closing the door behind him.

Tang Xu nestled in his arms, letting him do as he pleased. After a long while, she finally spoke in a muffled voice, "Weren't you supposed to be back tomorrow?"

Yan Shiyu looked down at the top of her head, his eyes deep, and remained silent.

Tang Xu quickly looked up at him, her eyes clear and smiling. "Did you know I missed you, so you came back early to be with me?"

Yan Shiyu stared at her for a moment, then looked up at the small house in front of him.

The apartment, which is about 100 square meters, lacks any sense of life. The living room and dining room are not large, and the entryway is even smaller.

When Tang Xu was about to pull him into the house, Yan Shiyu paused slightly, then took off his leather shoes and placed them neatly in front of the shoe cabinet, leaving only black socks on the floor.

"Oh dear, I forgot to buy a pair of men's slippers when I went out shopping today." Tang Xu slapped his forehead, then picked up his phone again. "Let's have a delivery person send a pair over."

She then opened the food delivery app and said, "There are only some small supermarkets around here, which can only sell ordinary slippers. Will you have to make do with these?"

"No need," Yan Shiyu said. "I'll only stay for a short while, not long."

Tang Xu paused abruptly, looked up at him, and asked, "You're not going to Lin City again, are you?"

"Ah."

"I thought you could stay..." Tang Xu paused, not finishing her sentence, and when she looked at him again, her eyes were still sparkling, "Then... could it be that you really came back specifically to see me?"

Their eyes met, but there was no answer in Yan Shiyu's eyes.

"I'll take that as an example." Tang Xu looked away and continued tapping on her phone, saying, "We still need to buy a pair of slippers, just in case you come up here later."

As she said this, she quickly placed her order.

However, just as she put down her phone, Yan Shiyu's phone rang.

He took out his phone, and Tang Xu could clearly see Gao Yan's name displayed on the screen.

Yan Shiyu answered the phone.

"Mr. Yan, it's almost time," Gao Yan said on the other end of the phone.

"understood."

Yan Shiyu only answered with three words.

The moment she hung up the phone, Tang Xu suddenly snuggled into his arms again.

Yan Shiyu hadn't put his phone away yet; he was just quietly watching her.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to hug you. Mr. Yan's embrace is so comfortable..." Tang Xu snuggled against him, paused for a moment, and then obediently got off him. "Now that you're done hugging, you should leave if you're in a hurry. Don't stay out too late."

She pulled him up from the sofa and escorted him to the door.

"Take care, Mr. Yan." She leaned against the entrance and smiled at him.

Yan Shiyu stood next to his leather shoes and looked at her again. "Are you sure you don't have anything to tell me?"

Tang Xu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Come back early tomorrow?"

Yan Shiyu looked down at her for a long time before finally responding softly, "Mm."

……

When he got down to the underground parking lot, Gao Yan had already started the car and was waiting for him.

Yan Shiyu got into the car. Gao Yan wanted to ask her if Tang Xu was alright, but seeing that she closed her eyes to rest as soon as she got in the car, he immediately decided to keep quiet.

Just as the car drove out of the underground parking garage and onto the road, a food delivery driver on an electric scooter sped past in front of the car, going against the flow of traffic.

Gao Yan couldn't help but mutter a few complaints. As he continued driving past the entrance of the residential area, he heard the deliveryman loudly announcing to the security guard, "Building 3, Unit 1, 7th floor!"

In the back seat, Yan Shiyu suddenly opened his eyes.

……

When Tang Xu received the call from the deliveryman, she simply asked him to leave the package at the door, and the deliveryman agreed.

However, two minutes later, the doorbell suddenly rang again.

Tang Xu walked forward with some doubt and looked outside through the peephole.

Then, she opened the door again, her eyes clear and calm, quietly looking at the person standing outside.

"Mr. Yan, is there anything you've forgotten?" Tang Xu asked.

Yan Shiyu strode in, and with a "bang," he locked the two of them in the small space of the entryway.

Before Tang Xu could react, she was already enveloped by the man's hot breath.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xu was pinned behind the door.

With each breath, she was completely enveloped by the man's scalding breath.
