Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 37 Is there a chance to win over Mr. Yan?
Lu Xingyan took Tang Xu to the hospital, had her blood drawn, and arranged for her to stay overnight for a full check-up the next day.

After a long day of commotion, Tang Xu was exhausted. Even though she was extremely uncomfortable in the hospital bed, she fell asleep in no time.

She had a dream.

Beneath the pattering rain curtain, inside the enclosed carriage, chaotic and rapid breathing; a hand that controls everything, stirring up a storm…

She saw that she was blindfolded, and she should not be able to see anything, but the moment she leaned on his shoulder, she saw his eyes.

His eyes were like a bottomless abyss, so dark and deep that one should be unable to see anything.

But she saw herself.

She saw herself, trapped in his eyes, slowly being swallowed up, drowning...

Tang Xu suddenly convulsed and woke up from her dream.

In the private hospital room, only the night light was still on. In the dim, hazy light, she saw someone sitting beside her bed.

He looked at her, his eyes as dreamlike as ever, dangerous yet unrestrained.

"What did you dream about?"

he asks.

Tang Xu had just woken up from a dream and was already in a tense state. When she suddenly saw him, she even forgot to breathe for a moment.

Yan Shiyu simply looked at her quietly, his gaze calm, as if he was still waiting for her answer.

He had been sitting there before she woke up, and had been watching her for who knows how long.

Tang Xu was instantly pulled back into her previous dream.

It was a dream, yet it wasn't a dream; it was something that had truly happened before...

The person who was just dreaming was now sitting right in front of her.

Tang Xu felt her face burning hot, so she turned her back to him and silently calmed her racing heart and body.

There was something strange inside her that was already out of control.

Therefore, dreaming about that situation is also beyond one's control.

It's not something she wanted to dream about.

Seeing her reaction, Yan Shiyu did not press further, but instead turned on the bedside lamp and poured her a glass of water.

"Drink more water," Yan Shiyu said.

Tang Xu pursed her somewhat dry lips.

She was indeed thirsty and needed water.

After a moment, Tang Xu finally turned around and sat up.

Yan Shiyu directly held the water glass to her lips.

"I can do it myself." Tang Xu took the water glass from his hand.

Tang Xu's gaze inadvertently swept over his well-defined fingers. She paused, wanting to look away, but then involuntarily looked at his cuffs.

It was spotless, without a trace.

Clearly, he had changed into a different suit.

Tang Xu quickly looked away and drank the water in her glass in one gulp.

"Want more?" Yan Shiyu asked.

Upon hearing these two words, Tang Xu paused slightly.

He seemed to have asked her the same question in the car...

She was breathing heavily, while his voice remained as steady as ever.

Want more?

How did she respond at that time?
Do you want it, or not?

Tang Xu couldn't quite remember.

When she realized what she was thinking, Tang Xu suddenly clenched the empty cup in her hand.

Yan Shiyu, however, seemed oblivious to everything, took the cup from her hand, and poured her another cup of water.

Listening to the splashing sound of water falling into the cup, Tang Xu felt an uncontrollable anxiety rising within her.

It was still a confined space, still just the two of them, and they could still hear their own breathing...

Tang Xu slowly closed her eyes.

Until Yan Shiyu once again brought the water glass to her lips. Tang Xu opened her eyes, looking at him with a cold gaze, "Mr. Yan, can you leave? I want to rest."

Yan Shiyu remained calm and composed, saying in a steady tone, "Drink this glass of water."

Tang Xu didn't even look at the glass of water, and simply said, "I don't want to drink it."

Just as the stalemate was at hand, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

As if the stagnant air in the room had been suddenly broken, Tang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said to the door, "Please come in."

The door opened, and Gao Yan cautiously peeked in before straightening up and walking in. "Miss Tang, how are you feeling?"

"Thank you, I feel much better now," she whispered.

Gao Yan said, "That's good. I came to tell you that the one surnamed Liao has been found, so don't worry."

Tang Xu nodded slowly.

Gao Yan then asked, "How do you plan to handle this?"

"What else can we do?" Tang Xu said. "Of course, we should call the police."

“Of course, of course.” Gao Yan paused, glanced at Yan Shiyu again, and said, “Then I’ll find someone to take him to the police station right away.”

"Thank you so much for your help so late at night."

Gao Yan smiled and replied, "Isn't that what I should do? You should get some rest, I won't bother you any longer."

Seeing him turn and leave the ward, Tang Xu finally turned to look at Yan Shiyu again, "Aren't you leaving?"

She repeatedly saw the guest off, and Yan Shiyu finally put down her water glass, got up and walked towards the door.

Tang Xu didn't look at him, but only heard a "click".

The door is locked.

Then, there was another "smack".

Lights went out.

The room was left with only a dim, hazy night light, barely illuminating the outlines of the two people.

Tang Xu watched helplessly as he approached step by step and returned to the bedside.

"If you're feeling unwell, why are you enduring it?" Yan Shiyu sat down beside her and pulled back the blanket covering her.

Tang Xu's body had already gone limp. She clutched his clothes, bit her lip, and retorted, "When it comes to forbearance, how can I compare to Mr. Yan?"

“Since that’s the case…” Yan Shiyu said, “you don’t have to endure it.”

"Yan Shiyu!"

Tang Xu's breathing quickened, and she called him by his full name once again.

But it was completely useless.

No matter how much she shouted, it was no use.

In a daze, it felt like I was back in that car.

However, she was much more clear-headed than she was then.

But what good is being sober?
It was nothing more than watching helplessly and being fully aware of the entire process of one's own descent into the abyss...

……

Tang Xu fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, someone was knocking on the door.

She opened her eyes and saw the sky just beginning to lighten.

Yan Shiyu stood at the door and opened it.

Gao Yan, who was outside the door, handed him a complete suit and pointed to his watch to indicate the time.

Yan Shiyu took the suit, closed the door again, and turned around to see Tang Xu lying on the hospital bed, quietly looking at him.

"Did I disturb you?" Yan Shiyu placed the three-piece suit on the sofa, and while unbuttoning his shirt, he said, "It's still early, you can continue to rest. I have to go back to the company for the morning meeting, I can't stay any longer."

"Mm," Tang Xu responded, then turned her face away and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you."

Yan Shiyu was putting on the newly delivered shirt when she heard this. She slowly raised her eyes to look at her, and even the action of buttoning the shirt slowed down.

“I will pretend that last night never happened,” Tang Xu said. “Anyway, Lu Xingyan is here. I will tell the police that he saved me… Just pretend we never met, and nothing happened… You don’t need to worry about it.”

Yan Shiyu slowly buttoned up the last button before asking, "What happened last night, as if it never happened? What about this morning?"
