Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 101 Tang Xu: You're Not a Monster
The hospital parking lot was extremely empty and quiet late at night, even a little eerie.

However, this atmosphere had no effect on Tang Xu inside the car.

After all, sometimes, silence is just as good.

She sat facing Yan Shiyu in his lap, burying her face in his shoulder.

With each breath filled with familiar scents, Tang Xu's heart gradually calmed down.

The carriage was completely silent.

She didn't speak, and Yan Shiyu didn't speak either.

He let her lean against him quietly.

Until I heard her breathing gradually slow down.

Yan Shiyu knew that she had fallen asleep.

He remained motionless, letting her sleep peacefully until dawn.

However, just a few minutes later, Tang Xu's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Immediately afterwards, her body twitched, and she woke up with a start, sitting up straight from his arms.

In that instant, Tang Xu panicked, feeling completely helpless.

Until Yan Shiyu reached out and touched the back of her head.

The lighting in the parking lot provides limited illumination inside the car.

Although his features were blurry, his outline was still clearly discernible.

She reached out and grabbed his clothes tightly, clearly sensing his presence, which gradually calmed her down.

"Were you dreaming?" Yan Shiyu asked.

After a long while, Tang Xu finally responded with a low voice.

What did you dream about?

“Monster,” Tang Xu replied.

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment upon hearing this before asking, "What kind of monster?"

Tang Xu then answered him little by little.

She could remember exactly what she had just dreamed about.

Because this isn't the first time it's happened.

In that small, dark room, those bizarre and fantastical things began to frantically attack her brain.

Even though it was only two days, she had seen him countless times.

Yan Shiyu listened quietly to her finish speaking, then suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen... a monster like me?"

Tang Xu gazed quietly at the man whose face was blurred before her, and after a long while, finally answered—

I saw you. But you are not a monster.

Yan Shiyu was silent for a moment before asking, "Then what am I?"

You are you.

Yan Shiyu did not ask any further questions.

Tang Xu wondered if it was because she had been in the dark for a long time and her eyes had gotten used to it, but in such a dim environment, she seemed to be able to see his eyes clearly.

Those deep, serene, and unfathomable eyes suddenly became clearly visible.

She clearly caught the tenderness and sorrow welling up in his eyes.

It's probably just an illusion.

Just as Tang Xu wanted to see more clearly, Yan Shiyu pressed her down and kissed her lips little by little.

Tang Xu quietly let him kiss her, but her hands still tightly gripped his clothes.

It wasn't until Yan Shiyu gradually guided her to let go of her hand.

Then, he took her hand into his palm.

Much later, Tang Xu vaguely sensed something, and gently turned the hand in his palm to caress his palm.

He has an injury on his hand!
Tang Xu was instantly startled and straightened up, placing his hand in front of her eyes. But before she could see anything clearly, Yan Shiyu had already slowly withdrawn his hand and placed it back on her back.

Tang Xu abruptly stopped herself from asking the question that was already on the tip of her tongue.

He didn't want her to see it, nor did he want her to ask.

She paused for a moment, but ultimately didn't ask. Instead, she reached out, cupped his face, and kissed him.

……

That day, it was almost dawn when Tang Xu returned to the ward.

The caregiver was still sound asleep.

Tang Xu carefully lay back down on the hospital bed, closed her eyes again, and finally fell asleep peacefully.

After waking up again and undergoing various tests, the doctor finally signed off on her discharge.

Jiang Beiheng came to the hospital again to pick her up from discharge and arranged for his driver to help her with the discharge procedures.

Tang Xu did not say anything more about this.

After all, when she was admitted to the hospital that day, many of her belongings were brought from the Jiang family by Sister Ying.

She has now carefully packed all those things so that Jiang Beiheng can take them back with him.

Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, Jiang Beiheng was relieved and said, "Go back and rest for a while. Don't worry about those messy things for now. Look at you, you've been to the hospital several times in just six months. If you don't take good care of your health at such a young age, you'll suffer later."

Tang Xu laughed when she heard this. "Dad, it seems more appropriate for Yingjie to say these words. It doesn't feel quite right when you say them."

Seeing that she could joke again, Jiang Beiheng finally laughed too.

The two chatted and laughed about trivial things while waiting for the driver to return.

However, when the driver returned to the ward after completing all the formalities, he brought some bad news—

"A lot of reporters have come downstairs. I don't know where they found out that the young mistress was being discharged from the hospital today. They're all gathered at the door, waiting for her to show up."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng frowned.

After all, the mainstream public opinion in Huai City regarding Tangxu was almost entirely negative.

"I'll go down and deal with them later," Jiang Beiheng said to Tang Xu. "You go back and get some rest first."

Tang Xu could probably guess who had instigated those reporters.

After all, following the incident involving Qin Zhaowen and Qin Jian, she had truly formed a grudge against the Qin family.

Both cases involved catching the perpetrators red-handed, with irrefutable evidence, making their convictions a foregone conclusion.

The only possible solution is to seize the moral high ground in public opinion in order to obtain the lightest possible sentence.

Tang Xu originally wanted to face it herself, but Jiang Beiheng arranged it for her without explanation.

Jiang Beiheng's appearance naturally attracted the attention of all the reporters.

Tang Xu took the opportunity to leave the hospital by car and returned to Royal Bay.

Since the interviewee was Jiang Beiheng, the topic naturally revolved around the divorce between Jiang Muchen and Tang Xu.

Jiang Beiheng's response to this was—

“I value Tang Xu as my daughter-in-law very much, so if you ask for my opinion, I certainly don’t want them to divorce. I even hope that the future of the Jiang family and the Jiang Corporation can be decided jointly by the two of them. However, this matter ultimately depends on the young people’s own wishes. In any case, I hope they can be happy and joyful.”

This is almost the first time that someone has stood up and publicly spoken up for Tang Xu since she took the initiative to "show her face" and was criticized by the public for more than half a year.

And this person is Jiang Beiheng.

Although he has stepped down from his position in the Jiang family, he is still the head of the Jiang family after all.

In this way, many things become worth examining in detail from the beginning.

Suddenly, Jiang Tang's marriage, which had already become old news, surged back to the top of the discussion list.

Tang Xu was truly filled with regret.

She shouldn't have let Jiang Beiheng help her block the reporters.

She was staring at the news report on her tablet with a headache when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Tang Xu quickly exited the browsing interface, got up, opened the door, and looked at the man standing outside.
