Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 299 Show Me Madness
The sudden darkness instantly robbed Tang Xu of all her senses.

In an instant, she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, losing all her senses.

It cannot see, hear, smell, or touch.

In those brief few seconds, she felt as if she had entered a vacuum; although there was nothing around her, a strong emotion pressed heavily on her heart—

A few seconds later, Tang Xu's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness. At the same time, the light from the corridor outside gradually poured in, shining on the person in front of him and outlining the man's clear figure.

She hadn't seen this man so closely and clearly in a long time.

Even if it's just an outline.

It seems to be no different from what I remember.

But how much of those memories about him are still credible?
Even Tang Xu herself wasn't sure.

Because she had completely severed this person from her life for a very, very long time...

So long ago, she couldn't even remember the last time the two of them had been this close.

Everything felt unfamiliar to Tang Xu at this moment.

It felt like a completely different world.

But whether they were strangers or familiar, they ultimately failed to stir any more waves in her heart.

She didn't want to meet him, but if she did, she could face it calmly and composedly.

Therefore, Tang Xu simply stood quietly in the darkness of the room, waiting for something.

The man's face was hidden in the darkness, but his tall figure remained motionless.

Tang Xu couldn't see his face, so she didn't know what expression he had or what he wanted to do.

Until, her gaze inadvertently drifted down and landed on his cuffs.

Upon seeing this, Tang Xu's gaze froze slightly.

In the silhouette revealed by the light and shadow, she saw a tightly clenched hand trembling uncontrollably with extremely subtle movements.

In a daze, some distant memories flooded into my mind.

Tang Xu suddenly realized the situation the man in front of her was in.

She was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained her composure.

She knew she couldn't wait any longer.

Tang Xu finally came to her senses and reached for the light switch on the wall.

But the moment her hand touched the light switch, the man's hot hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, stopping her from turning on the light.

Apart from that, there was still silence.

Tang Xu couldn't even hear his breathing.

Tang Xu tried to break free, but the man's hand was like a shackle, giving her no chance to escape.

“Mr. Yan,” Tang Xu finally found his voice, “I’m just here to get my brother’s coat back.”

A voice, perfectly calm and undisturbed, finally shattered the suffocating silence of the darkness.

What they got in return was another kind of silence.

Time and space seemed to freeze because of her words, but soon things stirred again—

As she said those words, Yan Shiyu's grip on her hand paused slightly, but after a moment of hesitation, Tang Xu clearly sensed that the force binding her had quietly loosened a little.

Tang Xu quickly withdrew her hand, but did not try to turn on the light again.

Some people can only be at ease in the darkness.

She shouldn't easily cross the line.

She gripped her wrist tightly, the one that had just been touched, and simply lowered her eyes, waiting.

After a long time, the man in front of her finally made a move again.

He slowly stepped aside, making way for her. The moment the corridor light fell on her, Tang Xu lifted her foot and walked out.

She didn't look up, didn't pause, and just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Where she couldn't see, Yan Shiyu quietly looked down at her, the light and shadow on his face half-light, making his unfathomable eyes appear as if they were divided into two—

Under the light, that eye was so deep that not a single ray of light was reflected.

What lies hidden in the darkness remains unseen by anyone—

Just as Tang Xu stepped out of the ward, her wrist was suddenly grabbed again, followed by a powerful force—

When Tang Xu came to her senses again, she had already been pulled back into the ward.

The room door slammed shut, completely cutting off the light in the corridor. The room was dark and silent, but Tang Xu could clearly hear his breathing... and heartbeat.

Yan Shiyu hugged her.

They had shared countless intimate moments, but never before had they felt such pain as they did now.

This pain emanated from the very core of Tang Xu's being.

His strength was so great that it felt like he was going to crush her. She couldn't bear the pain, but she was also powerless to break free.

She simply let him hold her without moving, afraid that even the slightest struggle would bring even more unbearable pain.

"Yaoyao..."

She heard him call her by her nickname, a sigh that was both muffled and suppressed.

She felt his breath, ragged and hot, brushing against the top of her head, like the last gasps of a dying person.

He was trembling.

It wasn't anger, it wasn't hatred.

Rather, it is something more desperate.

In a daze, Tang Xu felt as if she knew what it was.

With just a little investigation, she could clearly understand what it was that made Yan Shiyu feel despair.

But she doesn't.

She didn't care, nor was she curious.

She was numb, like a fish stranded beneath the ice. She could see and sense everything around her, but she was powerless and unwilling to explore the world any further.

She just wanted to quietly wait for her own ending.

She knew that day was coming soon.

"Mr. Yan," she spoke again, "please let me go."

Yan Shiyu did not move.

But the hot breaths and the chaotic heartbeat disappeared from Tang Xu's hearing at that moment.

Much later, she heard his voice again—

"Do you know..." His voice was low and hoarse, almost unrecognizable from its original tone, "that this will drive me crazy?"

Tang Xu was still tightly bound in his arms, but at that moment she silently tugged at the corner of her mouth.

She knew perfectly well how cold-blooded and cruel she was, yet at that moment, she still reached out and slammed her hand on the light switch on the wall.

In an instant, the bright light dispelled the darkness and firmly occupied every corner of the room.

At that moment, she could clearly feel the man's body stiffen instantly—

Some people and some things should never have been in the light of day.

If something is going to grow wildly in the darkness, then let the light stop and cut it off.

Even though such light still made her eyes bloodshot, Tang Xu still heard her own calm yet cruel voice—

"Then please let Mr. Yan... show me his madness."
