Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 31 You Shouldn't Keep Provoking

Huai City and Nancheng have always been sister cities, with frequent exchanges between the political and business circles. Nancheng is located in the south and has a pleasant climate. Every year before Huai City thaws, many golf enthusiasts fly there to play golf. The golf invitational tournament is also an annual tradition, and many people from Huai City's business community participate.

Two days before the competition, Tang Xu flew to Nancheng and checked into the hotel arranged by the organizers based on his invitation.

It was dinner time, and Tang Xu learned during her check-in that the organizers had arranged a semi-buffet dinner at the hotel's open-air restaurant. She didn't have much of an appetite, but after putting down her luggage in her room, she still decided to go to the restaurant for a stroll.

At this time, Huai City was still in the midst of severe cold, while the southern city was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and had a pleasant climate.

Tang Xu liked warm places, so she changed into a light dress, put on makeup, and went downstairs to the restaurant.

The open-air garden restaurant boasts an excellent ambiance, offering panoramic views of the sea across a private beach. A bonfire burns on the beach, and a professional band plays softly in the night breeze, creating a relaxed atmosphere filled with laughter.

The restaurant wasn't crowded; nearly half of the familiar faces were from the business community of Huai City.

The waiter led Tang Xu to a table at the back. Tang Xu thanked him, sat down, and looked up, her gaze suddenly becoming fixed.

At a table overlooking the beach in the garden, Yan Shiyu sat with two women and a man, chatting about something pleasant, each with a relaxed smile on their face.

Perhaps it was because the man, who usually wore formal attire, was dressed casually in a linen shirt and light-colored shorts at the beach, yet he did not appear disheveled at all, but remained composed and dignified.

The moment Tang Xu looked over, Yan Shiyu, who was facing away from her, seemed to glance over unintentionally. When his gaze fell on her, his expression did not change, but the smile on his lips was slightly restrained, and he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Tang Xu quickly withdrew her gaze and asked the waiter for a glass of red wine.

Just then, the middle-aged man sitting with Yan Shiyu suddenly raised his hand and beckoned the waiter over.

The waiter listened to a few instructions and soon brought the red wine that Tang Xu had ordered to her.

"This is Mr. Yue's private collection of wine. Please have a taste."

"Mr. Yue?"

The waiter quickly pointed it out to her; it was the man sitting next to Yan Shiyu.

When Tang Xu looked over, he was looking at her, smiling and raising his glass to her from afar.

"Mr. Yue Jiwei, Chairman of the Yue Family of Nancheng."

Although Tang Xu had never met Yue Jiwei, the name was well-known and he was a prominent figure in Nancheng. No wonder he was sitting with Yan Shiyu.

Tang Xu was quite sensible; since someone had invited her for drinks, she should go and thank them.

She took her wine glass and walked to the table, greeting Yue Jiwei: "Mr. Yue, hello, my name is Tang Xu, thank you for treating me to a drink."

Yue Jiwei, around forty years old, with a refined demeanor, smiled and shook hands with Tang Xu, "Miss Tang, are you from Huai City?"

"Yes." Tang Xu responded, and when Huai City was mentioned, she couldn't help but look at Yan Shiyu, and finally greeted him, "Uncle Yan, you're here too."

As soon as the title "Uncle Yan San" was uttered, the expressions of the other people at the table changed, seemingly surprised that someone as young as Yan Shiyu was being called "uncle."

Only Yan Shiyu glanced at her face and nodded calmly.

"What, are you related?" Yue Jiwei asked, raising an eyebrow.

Tang Xu chuckled and said, "They're just distant relatives. I'm only addressing them with a forced smile. I'm so grateful that Uncle Yan doesn't mind."

"Since we're relatives, why don't we sit down and chat?"

"I'll stop here now that you're all having a good chat. We'll have another chance to meet tomorrow or the day after," Tang Xu said.

Yue Jiwei didn't insist on keeping her, but just smiled and said, "This wine is brewed in my own winery. Miss Tang, please give it a try. It's quite good."

Tang Xu smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yue."

The two women sitting opposite each other were Wu Zongli, a well-known businesswoman in Nancheng, and Mai Na, the public relations manager of Yue Jiwei's company.

After a brief greeting, Tang Xu quickly returned to his own table.

She had barely sat down again when a group of people, preparing to leave, passed right next to her table.

Tang Xu quickly stood up to say goodbye to the group. Before leaving, Yue Jiwei handed her a business card, saying, "Ms. Tang, this must be your first time attending our event, right? If you have any questions, please feel free to call me." "Thank you, Mr. Yue," Tang Xu replied, taking the card.

"Does Miss Tang have a business card?" Yue Jiwei asked again.

"I'm not prepared yet." Tang Xu paused, then suddenly added, "But if I can take this opportunity to add Mr. Yue on WeChat, that would be my good fortune."

Yue Jiwei laughed when he heard this, took out his phone, and added Tang Xu on WeChat.

Yan Shiyu stood not far away, listening to what Wu Zongli was saying with his head slightly lowered. He nodded slightly and responded in a low voice, without glancing in their direction.

"Contact me on WeChat if anything comes up," Yue Jiwei said to Tang Xu with a smile.

Tang Xu smiled and nodded.

Yue Jiwei then walked forward to Yan Shiyu and Wu Zongli, beckoned them to continue, and left the restaurant.

Tang Xu watched them leave, then sat down to continue eating.

Tang Xu stayed at the restaurant for more than an hour, greeting some familiar faces from Huai City and getting to know a few businessmen from Nancheng. Seeing that the restaurant was almost empty, he left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped into the elevator, I ran into Yan Shiyu and Yue Jiwei again.

"Miss Tang, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Yue Jiwei smiled warmly. "Which floor do you live on?"

Tang Xu glanced quickly at Yan Shiyu and replied, "32nd floor."

Yue Jiwei pressed the elevator button for her. Tang Xu glanced at it and saw that, apart from the 32nd floor, only the button for the highest floor, the 42nd floor, was lit up. It seemed that the two people lived on the same floor.

"The 32nd floor is not bad, just a little low," Yue Jiwei said with a smile. "If Miss Tang has time, she can go up to the 42nd floor for a better view."

This is both a blatant invitation and an implication.

Adult men and women will understand.

Such a hint should have occurred between two people.

But at this moment, there are three people in the elevator.

Moreover, Yue Jiwei still spoke up even though he knew that Yan Shiyu was related to her, which shows that he was unscrupulous.

Tang Xu couldn't help but smile, then looked at Yan Shiyu, her gaze lingering on his calm and composed face for two seconds.

Yan Shiyu's eyes were clear and calm, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Tang Xu quickly looked away and said to Yue Jiwei, "There shouldn't be any vacancies on the 42nd floor these days. If I have the chance in the future, I'll definitely go and experience it."

A smart person always understands things immediately, let alone a seasoned veteran like Yue Jiwei in the world of romance.

Women who are too easily obtained always lack a certain joy.

Whether she's playing hard to get or simply doesn't want to agree in front of Yan Shiyu, it's all normal.

Yue Jiwei smiled and said, "The official competition is the day after tomorrow. We'll be going to familiarize ourselves with the venue tomorrow. Miss Tang, would you be interested in coming along?"

"Okay." This time Tang Xu didn't refuse. "I'm not very good at playing ball, so I won't be able to participate in the competition. I can only take advantage of tomorrow's opportunity to join in the fun."

As they were talking, the elevator stopped on the 32nd floor. Yue Jiwei smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Tang Xu glanced at Yan Shiyu again and whispered, "Goodbye, Uncle Yan."

"Goodbye."

Yan Shiyu spoke in a deep voice, without saying anything else.

Oh dear (covers face)
