Marriage Seduction Addiction

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's gaze lingered on Jiang Muchen's face for a moment before she slightly curved her lips and slowly said, "I'm not very familiar with this sentence. You don't seem to be the Jiang Muchen I know. But fortunately, everything about you is no longer related to me."

Tang Xu turned to leave, but Jiang Muchen grabbed her again, staring intently at her, "I'm asking you a question."

Tang Xu forcefully pulled her hand away from his before turning to look at him. After realizing what he meant, she chuckled and said, "That's true. In your eyes, I've always been cunning. So, what do I gain by pretending to have amnesia?"

"Don't you know what you'll get in return?" Jiang Muchen looked at her and said, "It's hard to say you're not doing this for—"

He paused abruptly, his gaze falling on Tang Xu's face, but he couldn't bring himself to say the next few words.

Instead, Tang Xu tilted her head slightly to look at him and asked, "For what?"

Jiang Muchen stared intently at her, his lips pressed tightly together, as if he had no intention of saying anything more.

Tang Xu didn't seem to expect a reply from him. After looking away, she finally turned and left without lingering.

Tang Xu went out the door, and just as she stepped down the steps, she glanced around and her steps faltered slightly.

She realized she hadn't driven there, and now that she wanted to leave, she would have to call another car. Plus, she had promised to have dinner with Jiang Beiheng, so for a moment, her steps to leave seemed to be hindered.

Tang Xu didn't dwell on it too much, and soon she turned around and went back to the living room.

Jiang Muchen clearly hadn't expected her to return. His gaze fell on Tang Xu, and for a moment he couldn't look away.

"Don't misunderstand," Tang Xu said. "I promised Mr. Jiang I would have dinner with him, so that's why I came back. As for you, I really have no ulterior motives—I think I already proved that when we got divorced, right?"

After saying this, Tang Xu had fully expressed herself, only to be met with Jiang Muchen slamming the door and leaving without a word.

Hearing Jiang Muchen leave, Tang Xu remained unmoved. Instead, Ying Jie hurriedly came out and went outside to see Jiang Muchen off.

When she returned to the living room and saw Tang Xu sitting peacefully on the sofa, she couldn't help but sigh softly. She walked over and said to Tang Xu, "Young Madam, you don't remember what happened in the past two or three years, so you don't know that Young Master's personality has really changed a lot in the past two years, and he treats you completely differently than before..."

"Really?" Tang Xu responded indifferently, "I really didn't see it at all."

Yingjie added, "As long as you're willing to give him time, you'll definitely be able to sense it! We've already missed so many years, are we going to keep missing out?"

Upon hearing Yingjie's words, Tang Xu simply smiled faintly and replied almost perfunctorily, "Okay, I'll observe for a while longer."

When Jiang Beiheng got up, he heard that Jiang Muchen had returned, and his gaze inevitably fell on Tang Xu's face as he observed the changes in her expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tang Xu said. "I've only heard that you two haven't had any scenes of fatherly love and filial piety in the past three years. Do you resent me for driving away your precious son?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng only sighed softly and didn't say anything more about the topic. He simply asked, "You just came from the hospital. Did the doctor give you any special instructions?"

“No,” Tang Xu said. “I can run, jump, eat, and drink normally, so what special medical advice do I need? What are you trying to say?”

Jiang Beiheng seemed to choke for a moment before laughing again, saying, "After losing your memory, you actually become much more perceptive—"

"Of course," Tang Xu replied. "Since I have no memory of it, I naturally need to be more vigilant, otherwise wouldn't I become a muddle-headed idiot?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng sighed again before saying, "I just wanted to say that if you're not too badly ill, could you come with me to a business banquet in a couple of days? Your current memory loss is really troublesome. Maybe if you go to the banquet and see some familiar faces, you might remember something."

Tang Xu said, "Who are the people I know at this business banquet? I can only see those people in various news reports... Besides, given our current relationship and status, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to accompany you to any banquet, does it?"

"I've seen you in the news, so you're someone I remember?" Jiang Beiheng said with a smile, then paused before adding, "But if you really don't want to, that's fine... After all, given your current situation, your comfort should be the priority."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Beiheng suddenly coughed a few times, covering his mouth.

Seeing his appearance, Tang Xu frowned and said, "You've been feeling unwell for the past few years, and you've been taking care of your health. Why are you going to those business banquets? You'd be better off resting at home."

"You think I don't want to?" Jiang Beiheng chuckled helplessly and said, "But some things just can't be avoided!"

After he finished speaking, Tang Xu looked at him quietly for a moment, and finally gave in, saying, "I can go with you, but if the reporters ask any strange questions, I don't know how to answer them."

Jiang Beiheng's eyes immediately lit up with joy as he said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to the organizers and make sure the reporters don't bother you."

Tang Xu muttered, "That's more like it."

……

Song Luobai was clearly unhappy that Tang Xu was going to accompany Jiang Beiheng to the banquet. However, since Tang Xu returned home after losing his memory, he had become unusually taciturn. In addition, Lu Xingyan did not object after learning about this, so Song Luobai did not say a word to Tang Xu. He just slammed the door loudly when entering and leaving the room.

Tang Xu didn't react much to this, but before attending the banquet, she knocked on his door and said, "Just so you know, if you break the door, I won't fix it for you; it'll be deducted from your allowance. Also, if any neighbors complain, you'll have to deal with it yourself; I won't say a word for you."

After saying this, Tang Xu went straight out the door, went downstairs, and got into the car sent by Jiang Beiheng.

The original plan was to meet Jiang Beiheng halfway there, but the car had only been driving for a short while when the driver received a phone call. His expression suddenly changed, and he turned to Tang Xu, saying, "Miss Tang, Mr. Jiang suddenly felt unwell and was taken to the hospital. You see—"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu's expression changed immediately, and he ordered, "Go to the hospital."

When she arrived at the hospital, Jiang Beiheng was walking out of the examination room with the help of his secretary. When he saw Tang Xu, he was slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Tang Xu was slightly annoyed. "What's wrong with you? Why did you come to the hospital?"

"It's nothing," Jiang Beiheng quickly said. "Look at me, do I look unwell anywhere?"

"Do you think I'll believe you?" Tang Xu walked straight to the doctor behind him and asked him directly.

The doctor and Jiang Beiheng were old friends. Seeing Tang Xu's concerned expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really nothing serious. You're just a little dizzy from catching a cold. You can rest and recover when you get home."

Tang Xu immediately turned to look at Jiang Beiheng and said, "Did you hear that? You're feeling dizzy from the cold, go home and rest!"

“It won’t make a difference if I wait a little longer,” Jiang Beiheng said. “I have to go to that banquet.”

"What is it that is so important that it can only be resolved at that banquet?" Tang Xu asked.

"Yes." Jiang Beiheng nodded and looked at Tang Xu, saying, "You absolutely have to go."

In the end, Tang Xu finally gave in again and agreed to accompany him to the banquet, but on one condition: she had to leave within two hours.

Because of this delay, by the time the two arrived at the venue, the banquet had already started.

The reporters who had been waiting at the door had already gone to rest. When they saw the two people, they immediately tried to rush out again, but fortunately, they were all stopped by the security personnel and could not get close.

Tang Xu helped Jiang Beiheng, and with the help of the organizer's staff, they slowly entered the venue.

The banquet had just begun when Ye Hanzhang, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, was giving his opening remarks. The audience was filled with all sorts of outstanding figures from the Huai City business community; a casual glance revealed them to be all renowned individuals.

Jiang Beiheng was seated at the first table.

Therefore, when Tang Xu helped Jiang Beiheng walk across the carpet in the center of the banquet hall toward the head table, almost everyone in the room turned their gaze toward them, starting from the last table.

In such a setting, everyone's attention was naturally focused on Jiang Beiheng. Tang Xu, as a "former daughter-in-law" who rarely appeared in public, was not that important. Therefore, she was not nervous and instead calmly looked back at every gaze directed at her.

As Ye Hanzhang helped Jiang Beiheng to the head table, he paused his speech on stage, and the others at the head table also cast concerned glances at him. Two old friends who had always been on good terms with Jiang Beiheng even stood up to pull out a chair for him.

As a result, almost all eyes were drawn to this side.

After Jiang Beiheng sat down, he raised his hand to greet Ye Hanzhang on the stage. Tang Xu then sat down next to him, and as soon as she looked up, she met the gaze of the person sitting on the opposite table.

Just as she had told Jiang Beiheng that day, most of them were people she had seen in various news reports, except for one unfamiliar face—

It was an exceptionally handsome face, and when he looked this way, his sharp and intelligent features were clearly revealed.

Tang Xu's gaze lingered on his face for a moment, but her eyes remained calm and indifferent, as if she were just meeting a stranger for the first time. She only glanced at him a few more times because of his special seating position and the fact that she didn't know him.

In a daze, the man seemed to glance at her, but it was just a fleeting look, as if he had focused all his attention on Jiang Beiheng, just like everyone else.

When Tang Xu looked away, she found Jiang Beiheng smiling and turning to look at her, asking in a low voice, "How are you feeling?"

“Not so good,” Tang Xu replied. “These people are still the same as they were in my memory before… It’s like time has stood still. Whether those three years happened or not seems to have had no impact.”

"How could it not have an impact?" Jiang Beiheng sighed softly, then asked, "What about the one in the middle of the second table? Do you know him?"

"Isn't it Yan Shiyu?" Tang Xu retorted. (End of Chapter)
