Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 25 Want to come to my room for a bit?

Tang Xu looked at him quietly.

It was only an afternoon later.

His attitude, however, had completely changed.

And he found a very good reason.

A reason she had to accept.

After a long while, Tang Xu chuckled and said, "Yes, people can be delirious when they have a fever. I don't know if I said or did anything embarrassing that Mr. Yan would find laughable when I had a fever that time... If so, then we can settle things once and for all."

Yan Shiyu listened without showing any change in expression.

Tang Xu didn't linger any longer and turned to walk quickly toward the elevator.

The elevator doors opened and closed, then opened again.

Tang Xu leaned forward slightly, looked at him, and said calmly, "Mr. Yan, I don't have a card or fingerprint, could you please swipe the elevator card for me?"

Yan Shiyu quickly turned around and walked into the elevator, pressing the button for her as instructed.

Tang Xu smiled slightly, "Thank you."

His gaze was calm and detached as he simply said to her, "It's late, be careful on the road."

Tang Xu leaned quietly against the elevator wall, still smiling as she looked at him, until the elevator doors slowly closed.

She saw her reflection in the elevator door and recalled the man's indifferent gaze from earlier.

She wasn't lying on that day at "Chūyama".

He was indeed the only person who showed her kindness and offered help during this period.

Therefore, she saw him as her hope.

It offers hope for the Song family and for advancing her divorce proceedings with Jiang Muchen.

When Yan Shiyu suddenly kissed her, she thought she had grasped this glimmer of hope.

But the result was like a bubble.

It shattered at the slightest touch.

It's so absurd it makes you want to laugh.

A man's heart is truly unfathomable.

……

Tang Xu returned to the Song residence close to midnight.

However, Song Yuting and Qin Yun were still awake and were sitting in the living room waiting for her.

Tang Xu had experienced a lot that day, and her expression inevitably showed fatigue, but she still smiled when she saw the two of them, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Qin Yun frowned slightly as she looked at her. "Your father said he has to see you with his own eyes no matter what, otherwise he won't feel at ease."

"I'm perfectly fine." Tang Xu spread his hands, showing his entire body. "I can walk and jump, and I'm not injured."

"Is the dead of night, freezing cold, and the desolate wilderness a small matter for you?" Song Yuting's expression remained grave. "What if—"

Tang Xu gave Qin Yun a wink, and Qin Yun interrupted Song Yuting at the right moment: "Alright, nothing happened, right? Don't say such unlucky things. It's so late, it's better for her to go upstairs and rest early than anything else."

Tang Xu immediately reached up and pressed her neck as she walked upstairs. "My back and waist are aching. I'm going upstairs to take a shower and go to sleep. You guys should go to sleep early too."

Song Yuting watched her figure disappear down the stairs, his tightly furrowed brows remaining unchanged.

Qin Yun reached out and stroked his chest, whispering comforting words, "It'll be alright, don't worry..."

"This can't go on any longer," Song Yuting said.

"what?"

“Yaoyao is just a girl, all alone and vulnerable. How can she shoulder all this?” Song Yuting said. “We can’t let her bear this anymore.”

"She's grown up, and she'll have to face some difficult things. Can she live a carefree life forever?"

Song Yuting didn't respond to her. After a moment, she suddenly spoke as if she had made up her mind: "Tomorrow, I plan to see Jiang Muchen." Qin Yun's expression changed drastically. "Why are you going to see him? That kind of person..."

“It’s precisely because he’s that kind of person that I don’t want Yaoyao to be stuck in this kind of marriage anymore,” Song Yuting said. “As long as Yaoyao can break free from this marriage, nothing else matters—”

……

Tang Xu slept soundly until dawn.

When she got up and went downstairs, there was no one at home.

Qin Yun must have accompanied Song Yuting to the hospital for a follow-up appointment. Tang Xu heated up a cup of milk for herself, drank it, tidied up, and went to the company.

Upon seeing her, Cheng Jin quickly found a document and brought it into his office.

Tang Xu was looking at other documents when she took the document and put it down beside her.

Cheng Jin finally couldn't hold back, "How was Mr. Fu's gathering?"

"Haven't you heard? I was left in the snow and almost froze to death," Tang Xu said calmly.

Cheng Jin was suddenly startled. "Who? That Miss Meng?"

Tang Xu raised an eyebrow.

Cheng Jin was puzzled, "You knew she probably didn't have good intentions from the start, so why did you still fall for it?"

"Perhaps I want to use this to achieve some other purpose."

"Did you succeed?"

"No." Tang Xu looked up at him and answered without any emotion, "Although I thought I would succeed at one point, the final result was... failure."

Her answer was vague, and Cheng Jin couldn't guess what happened in the "middle" part, but since the outcome was already there, the middle part was no longer important.

After a long pause, he spoke again: "Actually, now that Mr. Jiang is back, with his help, perhaps we can get through this difficult time."

He was referring to Jiangbei Heng.

“Mr. Jiang can help us, but how much can he help?” Tang Xu said. “He will always be Jiang Muchen’s father. No matter how much of a bastard or unfilial Jiang Muchen is, they will always be father and son. Parents can never win against their children, especially a son like Jiang Muchen.”

Tang Xu spoke of this despairing fact with remarkable calmness, as if he had already seen through and understood it.

At this moment, Cheng Jin realized that this young lady, whom he had always looked down upon, was actually so clear-headed and insightful.

"So what are your plans next?" Cheng Jin asked again.

"Just keep doing what needs to be done." Tang Xu shrugged and smiled. "It's just one path that's been cut off. How many paths has the Song family cut off during this period? It's not a big deal."

Cheng Jin didn't know what to say for a moment. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his phone suddenly rang.

He answered the phone, and after hearing just one sentence, his expression changed drastically. He turned to look at Tang Xu.

"President Song is in trouble—"

When Tang Xu arrived at the hospital, Song Yuting had already been taken into the operating room.

In the empty and deserted corridor, Qin Yun sat quietly in a chair, her expression almost frozen.

Song Yuqiao, who was beside her, was pale and seemed to be trembling uncontrollably.

"How is Dad?" Tang Xu quickly stepped forward.

Qin Yun seemed not to hear her voice and did not react at all.

Song Yuqiao suddenly stood up and shoved Tang Xu hard.

"How dare you ask! Tang Xu, it's all your fault! You're the one who got Dad into the hospital!"

Tang Xu stepped back two steps, still looking at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun remained motionless.

"If it weren't for you, why would Dad have gone to find Jiang Muchen? If he hadn't gone to find Jiang Muchen, why would he have had a heart attack?" Song Yuqiao shouted without regard for anything else.

Tang Xu was suddenly jolted.

Did Song Yuting go to see Jiang Muchen?
