Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 52 Swimming isn't limited to swimming pools.

Tang Xu took a hot shower, and when she came out, she saw the pot of porridge and realized she was actually a little hungry, so she ladled herself a bowl and drank it little by little.

After drinking the porridge, I felt warm all over.

Tang Xu washed the thermos clean, tidied herself up, changed her clothes, and took the thermos to return it to its owner.

Upon arriving at Qiushuitai, I saw the open door as soon as I stepped out of the elevator.

Tang Xu peeked inside and saw Gao Yan walking down the aisle with a bottle of beverage in his hand.

"Gao Yan?" Tang Xu called out to him softly.

Gao Yan turned around and saw her, and quickly came forward to greet her, "Miss Tang, you've arrived."

"Is there anyone else here?" Tang Xu asked.

“No, I’m here to deliver a document to Mr. Yan,” Gao Yan said. “No one else usually comes here, so don’t worry.”

Tang Xu then followed him into the house, placed the thermos on the bar, and asked again, "Where is he?"

“In the study,” Gao Yan said. “There’s a document that’s quite urgent; it’s due tomorrow, so I brought it over for Mr. Yan to review.”

"Why the rush tomorrow?"

"We're flying tonight, aren't we? We need to make arrangements in advance to avoid any trouble later." Gao Yan said.

Tang Xu was taken aback. "Tonight? Where are we flying to?"

"Europe?" Gao Yan was also taken aback. "Didn't Mr. Yan tell you?"

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then gave an awkward but polite smile.

Gao Yan scratched the back of his head and laughed, "Perhaps Mr. Yan simply forgot for a moment."

Tang Xu, however, did not think so.

The main issue is that Yan Shiyu has no obligation to inform her where he is going.

"How long will it take?" Tang Xu asked.

“About a week,” Gao Yan said. “We’re going to several countries and cities.”

Tang Xu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Gao Yan took the opportunity to slip into Yan Shiyu's study.

A few minutes later, Gao Yan came out of the study with some documents and greeted Tang Xu, who was fiddling with the coffee machine at the bar, "Miss Tang, I'll be going now, goodbye."

Tang Xu waved to him, and he quickly ran away and disappeared from sight.

As the coffee cup was filled, Tang Xu heard familiar footsteps behind her.

Tang Xu picked up her coffee cup, turned to look at him, and smiled, "These beans smell so good."

Yan Shiyu glanced at her, put his empty coffee cup into the sink, and then asked, "Are you sober now?"

Tang Xu bit her lip. "It's not that I wanted to drink it, but I was already sitting at the table and had no choice..."

“I didn’t know you would come yesterday…” Tang Xu stroked the cup in her hand, then suddenly noticed the thermos. “I finished the porridge, it was delicious, thank you…”

Yan Shiyu looked down at her, "You want coffee after finishing your porridge? You have a good appetite."

Tang Xu looked up at him, "You need to eat and drink your fill to have energy..."

Their eyes met, and Yan Shiyu slowly said, "Then drink more."

After saying this, Yan Shiyu turned and walked back towards the study.

Tang Xu stared at his back, muttered a couple of times, slowly finished her coffee, and finally followed in his footsteps into the study.

……

In the end, however, he returned to his bedroom.

On a bright, sunny day, with all the curtains drawn, the room was as dark as night, yet the temperature steadily rose.

Tang Xu ate and drank, but in the end, she couldn't hold on any longer.

Too much……

I don't know if it's because I didn't get what I wanted last night, or because I'm going to travel tonight.

In short, he gave way too much...

They are oblivious to time, day and night, and lack self-control.

In the darkness, he indulged in reckless abandon, wishing he could drag her down with him, forever sinking into the mire...

……

When Yan Shiyu carried her into the bathroom, Tang Xu's legs were so weak that she almost couldn't stand up and could only cling to him.

The shower murmured softly as she leaned against him, trying her best not to notice anything about him.

"Gao Yan said you're going to Europe..." Tang Xu finally asked. "Yes."

"You never mentioned this before..."

After a moment of silence, she heard Yan Shiyu say, "You can contact Duan Siwei if you need anything."

Tang Xu paused slightly.

He still knew what she wanted.

This deal was clear and straightforward.

She really wanted to ask him when he and Duan Siwei met, and what their relationship was, but in the end, Tang Xu only answered with a single word—

"it is good."

……

That evening, Tang Xu went to the hospital as usual. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the first floor of the inpatient building and was waiting for the elevator, she suddenly heard a weak female voice calling her with an uncertain tone: "Mrs. Jiang?"

Tang Xu turned her head and saw a girl sitting in a wheelchair.

Tang Xu's expression changed slightly in an instant.

She had never actually met her, but Tang Xu recognized her the moment she saw her.

Jiang Wanning.

And Jiang Wanning actually knew her too.

No wonder.

Jiang Muchen was the most important man in her life. How could she not know the woman that such a man married?

Tang Xu subconsciously felt that she shouldn't have any contact with Jiang Wanning, but sitting in her wheelchair, she tried her best to look up and talk to her. No matter what, Tang Xu couldn't bring herself to turn around and leave.

"Hello, Ms. Jiang."

Jiang Wanning seemed surprised that Tang Xu would call her out. After a moment of stunned silence, she said, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Tang Xu hadn't expected this either.

It's probably a karmic entanglement.

"Can I talk to you?" Jiang Wanning asked again.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, I don't think we have anything to talk about."

“Mrs. Jiang, I meant no harm,” Jiang Wanning said.

Tang Xu looked at her and nodded. "I know... but Miss Jiang, I feel that it's inappropriate for us to talk about anything."

“I want to apologize to you.” Jiang Wanning ignored her refusal and spoke directly, “About…some things my friend did.”

Tang Xu couldn't express how she felt and didn't respond for a moment.

"I know she did something that hurt you, and I'm really sorry."

"It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanning smiled bitterly and said with some difficulty, "The matter arose because of me, so it's my fault."

Tang Xu was once again at a loss for words.

"And... about Mu Chen..." Jiang Wan Ning paused for a moment, then looked up at Tang Xu, "Mrs. Jiang, I wish you both eternal happiness."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu was slightly taken aback.

“I know there must be a lot of misunderstandings between you because of me. But Mrs. Jiang, please believe me, I won’t be an obstacle between you,” Jiang Wanning said. “You two are a perfect match, and you will definitely be very happy in the future…”

Tang Xu didn't understand why Jiang Wanning would say these things to her.

Was it intentional, or genuine?

She seemed to be supposed to say something in response, but she really couldn't utter a single word.

From the moment she met Jiang Wanning, she felt extremely uneasy.

At this moment, the unease was almost overflowing.

Finally, the elevator doors opened, and Tang Xu turned and walked in without saying a word.

Jiang Wanning's wheelchair didn't move. She watched quietly as the elevator doors closed off Tang Xu's figure, and finally slowly lowered her head.

Tang Xu went up to Song Yuting's floor, got out of the elevator, but stopped in the corridor.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Xu took out his phone and made a call.

"Mr. Duan." Her voice was low as the call connected. "I'm sorry to bother you so late, but could you please do me a favor?"

Why isn't exercise exercise?
