Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 79 Noises in the Bathroom

Hearing Jiang Beiheng's concern, Tang Xu could only raise her right hand and reply in a low voice, "It's just a sprain, nothing serious."

Jiang Beiheng's gaze fell on her wrist, and he nodded, his eyes filled with heartache.

Tang Xu hurriedly added, "I just got up and haven't tidied up yet, Dad, wait for me."

Jiang Beiheng simply smiled and said, "No rush."

Tang Xu smiled and gently closed the door.

The moment the door closed, the smile on her face vanished completely.

Then, she pushed open the bathroom door and looked at Yan Shiyu standing inside.

Clearly, Yan Shiyu had also heard the commotion outside, and slowly raised his head to look at her in the mirror.

No one expected Jiang Beiheng to come to Jiangcheng to see her, let alone that he would appear here so early.

"Are you in a hurry to leave?" Tang Xu asked him in a low voice. "I can go downstairs with him for a walk."

"It's alright." Yan Shiyu said calmly. "I brought breakfast, how could I let someone come downstairs without even coming inside?"

Tang Xu pursed her lips. "Then you'll have to suffer again."

After saying this, she closed the bathroom door, turned around and went back into the room. She quickly cleaned up the traces before returning to the door and opening it.

"Dad, come in and sit down."

Jiang Beiheng nodded and then followed her into the ward.

Tang Xu gestured for him to sit in a single guest chair, and then sat down next to him before saying, "I'm fine, I can be discharged today, it's too much trouble for you to make this trip."

Jiang Beiheng said, "You child, you've had so many misfortunes lately. So many things have happened to you, how could I not worry?"

Tang Xu felt a little sad. "I'm really fine. You're not in good health, and you still have to worry about me. That's really my fault."

“We are a family, shouldn’t we care about each other?” Jiang Beiheng said.

Tang Xu said helplessly, "Dad..."

Jiang Beiheng knew what she wanted to say, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Mu Chen did something wrong, and you want a divorce, so I can't say much. However, when you married into this family, I promised your father that I would treat you like my own daughter. You can't sever ties with me just because you're divorced, can you?"

Tang Xu was silent for a moment before saying, "How could that be? I'm still calling you Dad, aren't I?"

Jiang Beiheng chuckled, paused, and then opened the food box in front of him. "Come on, eat something."

"I just woke up and don't have much of an appetite. I'll eat later," Tang Xu said, handing chopsticks to Jiang Beiheng. "Dad, you eat first."

Jiang Beiheng took the chopsticks but didn't touch them. After a moment, he spoke again: "Although you may find Dad annoying, I really don't want you to leave the Jiang family... If there's still a chance to make amends, that would be wonderful."

Tang Xu couldn't help but sigh.

She knew this wouldn't be so easy to get over.

"Dad, you know how much he hates me, so why do you always think there's still a chance for me to be with him?"

“Because he doesn’t really hate you,” Jiang Beiheng said immediately. “He’s just confused for a moment. He’ll come to his senses sooner or later.”

"So, after all that has happened, does Dad want me to continue to suffer his torment for that so-called 'someday'?" Tang Xu asked rhetorically.

Jiang Beiheng choked for a moment, then quickly said, "That's not what I meant—"

Tang Xu simply smiled.

Jiang Beiheng continued, "I know you'll think I'm selfish. But he's still my only son, and I hope that one day he can be happier."

“Perhaps he will,” Tang Xu said. “Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with me.” “Then what if I said that I hope my future estate will be inherited by the two of you, and that I hope you will have a place in the Jiang family in the future? What do you think?”

Tang Xu was surprised that Jiang Beiheng would make such a decision. "Dad?"

“Mu Chen is capable and ambitious, but he is too impatient,” Jiang Beiheng said. “I’m not comfortable handing the Jiang family over to him completely. I need someone to keep an eye on him. You are the only person I have in mind.”

Tang Xu gently shook her head. "Dad, you know I can't accept that."

“I know…” Jiang Beiheng gave a bitter smile, “Even if I offered the entire Jiang family to keep you, you wouldn’t turn back, would you?”

Tang Xu pretended not to hear, scooped up some food with a spoon and placed it in front of him, "Dad, eat something."

Jiang Beiheng had said everything he wanted to say, and after sitting for a short while, he got up to leave.

"It's rare for me to come here, I'm going to see two old friends," Jiang Beiheng said. "If you're going back to Huai City today, how about we leave together this afternoon?"

Tang Xu agreed.

She saw Jiang Beiheng off to the door, and just as she passed the bathroom door, she suddenly heard a "bang" from inside, as if something had fallen into the sink.

Jiang Beiheng suddenly stopped and turned to look in the direction of the bathroom.

Tang Xu's heart tightened at first, but then quickly relaxed.

Given Jiang Beiheng's personality, even if he discovered someone in the bathroom, he would never force his way in to check.

Therefore, she doesn't need to worry too much about Yan Shiyu being exposed.

And she herself——

Jiang Beiheng glanced at the closed bathroom door, then quickly looked at Tang Xu, his eyes filled with shock. "Is someone inside?"

Tang Xu met his gaze, then lowered her eyes again, not answering, but already acquiescing.

Jiang Beiheng still seemed incredulous and asked again, "Is it a caregiver?"

Tang Xu paused, thinking it over several times, but did not continue the conversation. She simply said, "Dad, you should be happy when you meet your old friend."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng's expression changed involuntarily. He exchanged a glance with Tang Xu for a moment, but ultimately said nothing more and turned to leave.

Tang Xu stood at the door, watching his figure disappear at the end of the corridor before she breathed a slight sigh of relief, closed the door again, and then opened the bathroom door.

Yan Shiyu was turning on the tap to wash his razor.

"What was that sound just now?" Tang Xu asked.

Yan Shiyu held up the razor in his hand. "It fell into the sink."

Tang Xu walked to his side, stared at his face for a long time, and suddenly said, "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Yan Shiyu turned her head, met her gaze, and then calmly replied, "Mm."

Tang Xu couldn't help but grit her teeth.

There's no way things could be so coincidental. Everything was fine for so long, but it just so happened that Jiang Beiheng made a commotion when he was about to leave.

"why?"

She couldn't quite understand Yan Shiyu's mindset.

What benefit would it bring him to expose himself?
"You don't find him long-winded?" Yan Shiyu replied casually, then paused and added, "He's quite generous; he was even willing to give you shares in the Jiang family business to win you back."
