Chapter 129 Appreciating the Worry in Her Eyes
Seeing that no one was around, Tang Xu leaned against the car window and looked at him, "Why did you come?"

"If we don't come, won't we miss out on a great show?"

Yan Shiyu didn't even crack a smile, responding to her indifferently.

Seeing this, Tang Xu went around to the other side of the car, opened the door, and got in.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Actually, it was expected that Song Luobai would also be brought back after Qin Yun's death and Tang Xu took Song Yuqiao home.

Although he certainly wouldn't be happy, that's the reality, and there's nothing else he can do.

"What kind of show is this?" Tang Xu said. "It's nothing compared to the things you experience every day."

Yan Shiyu turned to look at her.

Tang Xu paused, reached out and shook his hand, then said, "At tonight's dinner, everyone was talking about your collaboration with Ni Ruiyuan... Has this had any other impact on you?"

Yan Shiyu lowered his eyes to look at the two people's clasped hands. After a moment, he slowly said, "Since I have personally facilitated this matter, I naturally benefit more than I benefit. The rest is not worth mentioning."

Hearing him say that, Tang Xu should have been relieved, but the phrase "others" seemed to imply a lot, and she really couldn't feel at ease.

However, she really couldn't help him in this regard, and asking more questions wouldn't help.

Therefore, Tang Xu fell silent, only playing with his hand little by little.

The previously rough fingertips are now much smoother.

People who live a life of luxury shouldn't have hands like that.

Tang Xu's thoughts wandered for a moment until Yan Shiyu grabbed her hand and said, "Come back with me."

Tang Xu looked up at him, paused for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "You know, not tonight."

Yan Shiyu's eyes were deep and dark. Tang Xu reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning into his embrace, and said softly with a smile, "After you finish these two days, I'll finish these two days too, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu looked towards the elevator and slowly said, "You'll never finish all this work?"

Tang Xu pursed her lips gently, looked at him, and said, "Whether I'm busy or not is fine, I still have to live my life."

Upon hearing this, the deep darkness in Yan Shiyu's eyes seemed to gradually dissipate a little.

He lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze falling on Tang Xu's rosy lips, and finally leaned forward to gently press his lips against hers.

Tang Xu obediently raised her face and responded proactively.

……

When I got back upstairs, almost an hour had passed.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom as Song Yuqiao bent down to spread a sheet on the sofa.

She had been pampered since childhood, and although she was forced to take care of many of her daily chores after moving in, she still found it somewhat difficult to adjust. Even laying the sheets on the sofa was a struggle, as she was not paying attention to the details.

Tang Xu saw this but didn't intend to help. Since there was nowhere to sit on the sofa, she sat down at the dining table.

Song Yuqiao glanced at Tang Xu, bit her lip, and continued to tidy up her hair.

After a long while, she finally sat down on the sofa that had been made up, let out a long sigh, and then turned to look at Tang Xu. "I saw that you have men's slippers in your shoe cabinet. Could you let Luo Bai wear them first?"

"No." Tang Xu answered without hesitation.

Song Yuqiao gave a slight humph, picked up her phone, and started buying daily necessities for Song Luobai.

By the time Song Luobai came out of the bathroom, Tang Xu had already returned to his room. Song Yuqiao was unpacking the takeout that had just been delivered and preparing it for him.

Song Luobai was still drying her hair with droopy eyelids, but she couldn't help but glance at Tang Xu's bedroom door.

“She leaves for work early in the morning and comes home very late, so she doesn’t spend much time in the living room when she gets back,” Song Yuqiao told him. “It’s a little inconvenient for you to sleep on the sofa, but it won’t affect you too much.”

Song Luobai remained silent, sat down on the sofa, and stared blankly into space.

Song Yuqiao threw the torn slippers at his feet before saying, "Don't run around anymore. Remember, you're not staying here to freeload off her; she owes you a debt, and you should pay for it."

After saying that, Song Yuqiao couldn't help but glance somewhat guiltily towards the master bedroom.

Song Luobai sat stiffly for a long time before lying down on the sofa, facing the back of the sofa, leaving only the boy's thin back facing outwards.

Seeing this, Song Yuqiao said nothing more.

Fortunately, her words seemed to have an effect on Song Luobai. Although Song Luobai still seemed reluctant, he eventually settled down in Yujing Bay.

Tang Xu didn't worry about it much.

She continued to leave early and return late as usual, occasionally attending social events, living her life peacefully, and never saying a word more to Song Yuqiao and Song Luobai.

Three days later, Tang Xu, who rarely got off work early, asked Gao Yan about Yan Shiyu's plans for the evening. Just then, Wei Ming called to invite her to a dinner party, so Tang Xu accepted the invitation.

When they arrived, they learned that an old friend of Wei Ming's had fallen out with the transportation company they were working with. So Wei Ming patted his chest and recommended Tang Xu, immediately calling Tang Xu over and giving her a big order.

Tang Xu was extremely grateful. When he left, he saw both of them off before getting into his car and preparing to leave.

However, just as she started the car, she suddenly saw Yan Shiyu and a man in a jacket walk out of the club.

The man was not a businessman, but Tang Xu had seen him in the news; he was Lei Peng, an important figure in Huai'an's political circles.

However, it was not Lei Peng who caught Tang Xu's attention.

Instead, it was a young man in a suit standing behind Lei Peng.

This man looks familiar.

Tang Xu sat in the car, staring at the young man for a long time before finally remembering—

A few days ago, she happened to see Jiang Muchen at a logistics industry dinner. At that time, the young man was the one talking to Jiang Muchen!
Tang Xu's heart skipped a beat.

Yan Shiyu met with Lei Peng, while Jiang Muchen met with Lei Peng's men. What kind of operation is this?
Seeing Yan Shiyu see Lei Peng off, Tang Xu finally looked away and drove away from the club.

Yan Shiyu's car then drove out of the club.

The two cars, one after the other, eventually headed in the same direction.

Upon arriving at Qiushui Terrace, Tang Xu had only gone upstairs a short while when Yan Shiyu returned as well.

Hearing his voice, Tang Xu immediately went to greet him, "Are you having dinner with Lei Peng tonight because of something very important?"

Yan Shiyu looked at her. "Why do you ask that?"

"Because a few days ago, I saw Jiang Muchen having dinner with the young man who was following Lei Peng today," Tang Xu said. "I was afraid there might be some kind of trap involved, so I thought I'd remind you."

Yan Shiyu listened and simply looked at her quietly.

Her clear eyes were filled with seriousness and worry.

Yan Shiyu gazed at her for a long time before finally reaching out to gently lift her chin, chuckled softly, and said, "Thank you."
