Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 12 Knowing it's untouchable...

Yan Shiyu stopped and turned to look at her.

Tang Xu walked up to him, smiled, and said, "Mr. Yan saved me on the long street last time, and when he saw I was sick, he arranged a hotel and a doctor for me. I didn't even have a chance to express my gratitude. Today you've helped me again. I wonder when Mr. Yan has some time to do me the honor of having a meal with you?"

Yan Shiyu lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on her face, and he did not respond for a moment.

Tang Xu seized the opportunity to press further: "I wonder what Mr. Yan likes to eat? Chinese or Western food?"

Upon hearing this, the driver standing nearby couldn't help but glance sideways and quickly looked at Yan Shiyu.

Yan Shiyu's eyes were dark, and his tone was flat and official: "It's just a small matter, no need to spend money."

“How could inviting Mr. Yan to dinner be considered an expense? You are a distinguished guest that many people would love to invite but cannot.” Tang Xu said, while taking out her phone and handing it to him. “I wonder if I could have Mr. Yan’s contact information?”

Yan Shiyu paused for a moment, then finally reached out and took the phone. Her slender fingers tapped the screen a few times, and she entered her number.

Tang Xu smiled naturally, "I will contact you again."

She took two steps back, still clutching her phone, and then Yan Shiyu bent down and got into the car. The driver closed the door, nodded to Tang Xu, and hurriedly returned to the driver's seat.

Through the dark car window tint, Tang Xu could only see her own reflection in the window, but she still kept smiling and waving goodbye to the car.

The smile on her face gradually faded and disappeared only after she watched the car drive away from the club.

Cheng Jin's car pulled up, and Tang Xu opened the car door and got into the back seat, sitting quietly.

A few minutes later, Cheng Jin finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Was that the legendary Third Young Master Yan?"

"Mm," Tang Xu replied.

"Indeed, he has an extraordinary appearance." Cheng Jin paused before continuing, "What were you talking about?"

Tang Xu's gaze fell on him, and she asked, "What do you think I would say to him?"

Cheng Jin suddenly cleared his throat and lowered his voice: "Whatever you say is normal."

Tang Xu was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

Cheng Jin had been with Song Yuting for ten years and was also an old acquaintance of Tang Xu, having dealt with many of her troubles in the past.

Tang Xu said, "It seems the psychological trauma I left you in the past hasn't disappeared yet."

Cheng Jin remained silent.

He had indeed seen Tang Xu's rebellious, willful, and unruly behavior in the past, and he knew that she had toned down her temper a lot over the years. However, when he learned that Tang Xu was going to take over the Song family business, he really didn't know what kind of ability this young lady, who had married right after graduation and had never had any work experience, had to turn the tide...

Just now, the moment he saw her and Yan Shiyu standing side by side at the door, he seemed to suddenly realize something.

Women often suffer in business, but sometimes, youth and beauty can be a powerful weapon.

But... Yan Shiyu?

Cheng Jin dared not think about it.

Not to mention that he dared not think about it, Tang Xu himself was also somewhat dazed.

The moment she learned Yan Shiyu's identity, she actually categorized him as part of Jiang Muchen's camp.

After all, they are relatives.

But now, she has a vague feeling that things might take a different turn.

Especially now, the Song family sees almost no other hope, and things may even get worse—

After a long silence, Tang Xu finally spoke again: "Is it really possible that my father will go to jail?"

Cheng Jin was silent for a moment before saying, "Yang Huai orchestrated this scheme with several shareholders. We can't estimate how many traps he's set up—we always have to prepare for the worst."

“Yes.” Tang Xu stared straight ahead. “So, I had no choice at all.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jin glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

Tang Xu was indeed beautiful, radiant and charming, the kind of beauty that could captivate a man at first glance. Such beauty, even knowing it was untouchable, would still attract much covetousness.

Men are sometimes that simple.

Even the legendary Mr. Yan Shiyu, who was described as upright, dignified, and as pure as a lofty mountain.

……

The next day, Tang Xu did not receive a call from Wu Yu.

She patiently waited until the afternoon, then decided to go directly to the person's door.

However, the ending was as expected—

"Mr. Wu has gone abroad on a business trip. The exact duration is still uncertain. I will let you know when he returns."

To be honest, Tang Xu wasn't too disappointed.

Given how decisively the project was halted in the first place, it's unlikely that Wu Yu would change his mind so easily over a meal, no matter how much they offered concessions.

There are probably other unknown reasons behind this.

Cheng Jin had probably encountered countless similar setbacks while following Song Yuting, so he was almost numb to it and simply drove quietly on the way back.

Tang Xu sat quietly for a long time before finally taking out her phone, looking at the number that Yan Shiyu had personally entered yesterday, and dialing it.

Just as the phone was about to automatically stop ringing, it was finally answered, but it was a strange male voice: "Hello, who is looking for Mr. Yan?"

"you are?"

"I am Gao Yan, Mr. Yan's personal assistant. Mr. Yan has just left. May I ask what brings you here?"

"My name is Tang Xu, and I would like to invite Mr. Yan to dinner," Tang Xu said.

The other party didn't ask any further questions, only saying "Please wait a moment." Shortly after, a reply came: "Mr. Yan is only available on Friday evenings at the moment. I will make an appointment for you first and will get back to you formally later."

"Thank you." Tang Xu paused, then couldn't help but ask again, "May I ask what kind of cuisine Mr. Yan prefers? Last time we had Cantonese food, and he didn't seem to like it very much."

“Mr. Yan doesn’t really like the food at restaurants outside,” Gao Yan replied. “So, you can arrange it as you see fit.”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xu sat quietly for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

Don't like eating out?

Could it be that the reason Yan Shiyu kept contacting her was because he thought that as a wife, she should be able to cook good home-style dishes?
Tang Xu sat quietly for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Where can I entertain guests and also cook for them myself?"

Cheng Jin drove quietly without saying a word.

If Tang Xu were to personally cook for Yan Shiyu, then she would inevitably have to choose a place with a high degree of privacy.

The implications of such privacy are self-evident.

A lone man and a lone woman... especially one with such an awkward relationship...

Cheng Jin felt that it would be inappropriate for him to say even a single word.

Regardless of the potential consequences he might face, he simply cannot accept it on a moral level.

If he really played a role in this, then what did he become?

Fortunately, Tang Xu didn't seem to really want an answer from him. She didn't react when she didn't hear a response, but just stared blankly out the window without saying anything more.

Not long after, Tang Xu's phone rang again.

She remains Yan Shiyu's assistant.

The other party told her over the phone that Mr. Yan could have dinner with her on Friday night.
