Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 23 He's Like a Demon

After a long while, Tang Xu finally raised her eyes slightly and asked, "Aren't you going to wipe it off?"

After a long while, Yan Shiyu's slightly hoarse voice was finally heard: "I want to take a shower."

She quickly regained her composure, and after receiving a response, her tone seemed to lighten a bit, "I'll run you some hot water, you can soak in it for a while, it'll make you feel better."

Yan Shiyu did not refuse.

Soon Tang Xu went into the bathroom and filled a tub with hot water. When she turned around and came out, Yan Shiyu was standing at the foot of the bed drinking water.

He had already taken off his soaking wet pajamas, his upper body bare, and a pair of long black pajama pants that barely covered his long legs and slender waist.

Tang Xu walked straight up to him and touched the cup he was drinking from.

cold.

"Don't drink cold water. Go take a bath first. I'll go downstairs and get some hot water."

After saying that, she pushed Yan Shiyu into the bathroom, closed the door, and then turned around and went downstairs.

The noisy crowd had left, and only two girls were sitting on the sofa chatting in the lobby. When they saw Tang Xu come downstairs, their eyes lingered on her for a long time, full of curiosity.

Tang Xu just smiled at them, filled a kettle with hot water, and went upstairs again.

However, she didn't notice that as she went upstairs, a figure walked in from the front door, and after his gaze fell on her, he also went up the stairs.

Tang Xu returned to Yan Shiyu's room and swiped her card to open the door again. As she turned to close the door, a tall and imposing figure suddenly appeared at the doorway.

Tang Xu's heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the hot water in her hand.

Why is he here?

Jiang Muchen, who appeared like a ghost, just looked at her with a gloomy gaze, "You're quite the player, running all this way."

Tang Xu's mind went blank for a moment, and then she suddenly remembered the commotion outside the door before she went upstairs.

Could it be that Jiang Muchen arrived at that time?
So when he followed her to the door of this room, he probably thought it was her room, and didn't have any other intentions, right?

Tang Xu remained silent for two seconds, then suddenly slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".

Jiang Muchen, standing outside the door, was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly pounding on the door.

"Tang Xu, open the door for me!"

On this side, Tang Xu had already quickly reached the bathroom door and pushed it open—

In the bathtub, a tall and slender man lay quietly in the hot water with his eyes closed. Hearing a sound, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing dark and deep features, and a lazy, cool expression.

Tang Xu placed the hot water next to the bathtub, not caring about anything else, and just told him, "There's been a little trouble. Soak for a while and don't make a sound."

At the same time, Jiang Muchen's banging on the door came in from outside.

Yan Shiyu's gaze suddenly froze.

Tang Xu didn't linger. She turned around and left the bathroom, closing the door behind her once again.

Inside the room, Tang Xu glanced around the bedroom.

All the rooms in the villa had a similar layout, but this room, except for the spot where Yan Shiyu had just gotten up where there were signs of someone lying down, was so tidy that it looked like no one had ever stayed there.

His clothes, shoes, and socks were all neatly arranged in the dressing room, and even his pajamas, which he had just taken off, were not left lying around.

Tang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door to the walk-in closet, and then walked to the door of the room and reopened it.

Once again meeting Jiang Muchen's gaze, Tang Xu felt that if she had opened the door a mere ten seconds later, Jiang Muchen would probably have kicked it down.

"You're very noisy." Tang Xu looked at him, as if she had opened the door because she couldn't stand his noise. "Mr. Jiang, what brings you here? May I ask what brings you here?"

Jiang Muchen looked at her coldly, "Where is Wan Ning?"

Hearing Jiang Muchen's question, Tang Xu actually breathed a sigh of relief.

So he came for Jiang Wanning. "What, has Miss Jiang Wanning disappeared?" Tang Xu asked.

Jiang Muchen's gaze was frighteningly cold. He took a step forward and forced Tang Xu, who was standing at the door, into the house.

Tang Xu met his gaze without wavering.

"She received a phone call from Huai City before she disappeared. Who else could it be but you?" Jiang Muchen gritted his teeth and looked at him. "Tang Xu, how dare you?"

Tang Xu asked, "What makes you think I did it? Just because a call was made from Huai City doesn't mean it was me."

"If it's not you, who else could it be?"

"Why don't you ask yourself that?" Tang Xu said, "You have so many women, why can't you be one of them?"

"What are you pretending for in front of me?" Jiang Muchen grabbed her wrist. "Do you think I don't know who you are? Is there anything in this world you wouldn't dare to do? Running to this remote mountain wilderness, getting tricked, being abandoned in the snow... making such a fuss, isn't it all just to attract men's attention? Yan Qianshan, Lan Yubai, or Fu Jiali? Who is your target? Or will anyone do? Do you really think anyone would even look at you?"

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Why did you come all this way? Was it for Miss Jiang Wanning, or to mock me?"

Jiang Muchen's voice was stern, "I'll ask you one more time, what exactly did you say to Wan Ning? Where did she go?"

Tang Xu knew that Jiang Muchen wouldn't believe anything she said at this point, so they couldn't continue talking like this.

At the very least, we can't continue talking in this room.

"Let me go. Let me pack up and we'll talk when we get back to the city," Tang Xu said calmly.

"You still dare to negotiate with me?" Jiang Muchen was almost about to strike again.

Tang Xu suddenly stepped back a few paces, looking at him intently, "Do you have a choice?"

Jiang Muchen nearly crushed his fist, panting as he looked at her.

In front of outsiders, he was always the aloof, arrogant, and composed Mr. Jiang, but in front of her, he always so easily revealed his true colors.

Tang Xu wanted to boast about his own abilities.

She pulled her hand away from Jiang Muchen's and, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, paused for a moment, then turned and went into the bathroom.

As she had said, Yan Shiyu lay quietly in the bathtub, watching her enter and close the door.

The first thing Tang Xu did upon entering was to turn on the shower and faucet before going to the bathtub.

"I have to leave now." Tang Xu said in a low voice, using the sound of the running water as cover. "The water is still warm, so soak for a while longer, but don't soak for too long, or you'll get weak. If your fever doesn't go down later, we should go back to the city and go to the hospital first, so as not to delay your treatment."

After saying this, Tang Xu looked up at him again, pursed her lips, and prepared to get up and leave.

However, the next moment, she felt a warm, damp patch on her wrist—

Yan Shiyu reached out and grabbed her.

She turned around and met Yan Shiyu's dark eyes.

"This is my room, my bathroom, and you're hiding me away." His tone was calm, yet carried a subtle pressure. "What do you think I am?"

Without even thinking, Tang Xu smiled and said, "You are an upright and honest gentleman with a bright future ahead of you. Your good reputation cannot be ruined by a woman like me. I can do whatever I want, but you can't."

After she finished speaking, she prepared to get up again.

However, Yan Shiyu never let go of the hand he was holding.

"Mr. Yan?"

Tang Xu raised her eyes and met Yan Shiyu's almost frozen, deep gaze.

The next moment, warm lips covered mine.

In the bathroom, which was separated from Jiang Muchen by a door.

He kissed her.
