Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 24 A Door Apart, Unknown to Others
The bathroom was damp and the air was thin.

The man's wet arms were braced against the bathtub wall, his muscles clearly defined and his veins bulging.

At that moment, Tang Xu seemed to forget to breathe; her only remaining consciousness was of his invading lips and tongue.

heat.

hot.

He was entangled with her.

The feeling of losing control and having her breath taken away made her instinctively want to back away, but the next moment, the man's large hand covered the back of her head, pulling her forward instead.

The kiss deepened.

She lost her balance slightly and instinctively reached out to steady herself.

The chest beneath my palm was warm and wet.

The sensation was so hot that Tang Xu was jolted back to her senses.

Even though she had made all the preparations beforehand, she was still a little stunned at this moment.

Her gaze sharpened, and she saw the dark undercurrent surging within Yan Shiyu's eyes.

He has always been restrained and reserved, polite and aloof.

At this moment, even his breathing was domineering and intense, utterly unreasonable.

Just a door away, Jiang Muchen was waiting outside.

Inside the door, their breaths mingled, and their wet kisses lingered.

Unknown to the public.

Tang Xu's heart was pounding uncontrollably, and her eyes suddenly flushed red.

Yan Shiyu's hand, which was resting on the back of her head, suddenly froze.

The next moment, there was a loud knocking on the bathroom door, accompanied by Jiang Muchen's cold, hard voice—

"Tang Xu, what are you doing in there? Don't test my patience any further!"

Yan Shiyu slowly pulled away from Tang Xu's lips, his gaze falling on her rosy lips. He reached out and gently wiped away the moisture from the corner of her lips.

As if in the blink of an eye, he returned to his former self.

Even though he was still lying in the bathtub.

She was soaked, all from the water on him.

Tang Xu's breathing hadn't calmed down yet, and for a moment she didn't know where to look. Her gaze shifted downwards a little, but she saw something she shouldn't have seen.

Yan Shiyu made no attempt to conceal anything, nor did she intend to.

Tang Xu suddenly choked and coughed heavily.

Before she could calm down, she suddenly stood up and whispered, "I'm leaving now."

Before turning around, she made sure to turn off the tap and shower before leaving the house.

Soon after, another conversation could be heard outside the door—

What are you doing?

Jiang Muchen saw that she was soaking wet and her eyes were gloomy.

Tang Xu simply asked in a light tone, "Do you care?"

Jiang Muchen stepped forward, staring directly at her. "Tang Xu, have you thought about the consequences of being so arrogant with me?"

“Based on past experience, no matter what I do, the result will be roughly the same,” Tang Xu said slowly. “So, Mr. Jiang, do you still have questions for me?”

After saying this, Tang Xu didn't linger and turned to leave the room.

Before long, the room returned to silence.

A little while later, the villa's butler hurried to the open doorway, glanced inside, and quickly walked to the bathroom door, knocking. "Mr. Yan? Your room door is open. Is everything alright?"

"Close the door for me," Yan Shiyu simply instructed in a low voice.

The butler acknowledged the order and hurriedly left.

Inside the bathroom, Yan Shiyu had already gotten out of the bathtub and was standing under the shower.

Accompanied by the sound of flowing water, steam rises into the air.

He slowly closed his eyes, raised his face, and let the water wash over him.

What kept flashing through my mind was the red at the corner of her eyes.

Ultimately, it was out of reluctance. Ultimately, desires are insatiable.

……

Tang Xu didn't have time to pack anything before getting into Jiang Muchen's car.

As the car drove along the rarely traveled mountain road, Tang Xu's thoughts drifted uncontrollably into the distance.

"Now you can say it."

Jiang Muchen's cold voice came from the side, pulling Tang Xu back to reality.

Tang Xu let out a soft breath, "What if I said I don't know?"

"Tang Xu." Jiang Muchen's voice was barely concealed with anger. "If you insist on asking for trouble, I certainly won't stop you!"

Tang Xu listened and remained silent for a moment.

Just then, Jiang Muchen's phone rang.

The carriage was quiet as it moved smoothly, and Tang Xu clearly heard the report from the other end of the phone—

"Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang Wanning is back. She's alright."

Jiang Muchen's expression remained unchanged; he simply replied coldly, "Understood."

Tang Xu heard it but pretended not to hear it and didn't react at all.

A moment later, Jiang Muchen's voice was heard again: "Tang Xu, remember what you said. If anything happens to Wan Ning, I will hold you responsible."

Tang Xu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You've probably forgotten that this is how you've always calculated it. So, there's no need to remind me."

On the deserted mountain road, the black Bentley came to a smooth stop.

Then, Tang Xu was forced off the car alone and made to stand by the roadside, watching helplessly as the car drove away again.

The driver, watching Tang Xu's figure grow smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, finally couldn't help but say, "Mr. Jiang, there's no village or shop in sight here. Madam is all alone—"

Jiang Muchen sneered, "What? You're afraid something will happen to her? You're underestimating her."

She is Tang Xu.

Sure enough, about twenty minutes after Jiang Muchen's car drove away, a staff member from the resort arrived in Tang Xu's car.

Tang Xu reached out to stop him and got into the car.

Tang Xu returned to the city at 3 p.m. and went to the police station to report the case.

After handing Meng Xiyue's case over to the police, she returned to her company.

There was no one at the company on the weekend, except for her, who stayed in the office looking at documents until nine o'clock at night.

When she remembered to check the time, Tang Xu quickly grabbed her phone, found Yan Shiyu's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Tang Xu stared at her phone screen for a while, then made another call.

The words "Gao Yan" appeared on the phone screen.

……

At 11 p.m., Yan Shiyu returned to Qiushuitai, located in the city center.

The elevator went directly to the floor, but the moment the elevator doors opened, a deep darkness welled up in Yan Shiyu's eyes again.

On the shoe bench by the door, which was always empty, Tang Xu sat with her head tilted to one side, dozing off while trying to stay awake.

Yan Shiyu stepped out of the elevator and suddenly opened her eyes.

A smile instantly appeared in her bright eyes. She stood up, stepped forward, and immediately reached out to touch his forehead.

However, Yan Shiyu slightly turned her head to avoid it.

Tang Xu paused slightly and said, "I want to see if you still have a fever."

"Much better," Yan Shiyu replied simply.

"I brought you some medicine, in case your family didn't have any when you first returned to China." Tang Xu smiled again and said, "I also brought you some porridge, which was specially made by the housekeeper. She's a very good cook, and she also made a few side dishes. If you don't have a good appetite, drinking some porridge will warm you up and make you feel more comfortable."

As she spoke, she turned to pick up the things on the chair, but as she bent down, she suddenly realized something and turned back to look at him.

The coldness in his eyes was almost too obvious.

Tang Xu slowly straightened up, and after a moment, said slowly, "I've disturbed you, haven't I?"

Yan Shiyu gave her a deep look and said slowly, "When the fever was high, my mind wasn't very clear, and I wasn't sure what I had done. Please forgive me if I offended you."
