Marriage Seduction Addiction

After learning of Tang Xu's plans, Jiang Beiheng seemed to have a lot to say, but ultimately he had no right to interfere with Tang Xu's decision. So after a moment of silence, Jiang Beiheng simply said, "The current situation must be hard for you to accept... Going out for a walk is good, it can help you calm down. But you mustn't say anything like you'll never come back. Even if you really don't plan to come back, I will definitely send someone to bring you back."

Tang Xu simply smiled at such a statement and didn't say anything more.

After learning that Tang Xu planned to leave Huai City for a while, Song Luobai's expression turned very unpleasant.

He was not a talkative person to begin with, and after Tang Xu lost her memory, he became even more silent. When he heard the news, he froze for a long time, just staring at Tang Xu without saying a word.

"It's a rare holiday, aren't you going out for a walk?" Tang Xu asked him. "I heard you're planning to go to your sister's place during the holiday. Don't waste such a good time."

Hearing Tang Xu's calm and indifferent tone, Song Luobai's face turned even uglier, and she went straight back to her room and slammed the door shut.

Tang Xu listened to his commotion but paid no attention. She turned around, took out her suitcase, and went back to her room to pack her luggage.

After returning to her room, Song Luobai immediately dialed Lu Xingyan's number and bluntly asked, "Did you know she was leaving Huai City?"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Xingyan seemed to get up and walk a few steps away before answering his question: "I know."

"You agree to let her leave like this?" Song Luobai asked.

“She has an independent personality, her own ideas, and can survive on her own,” Lu Xingyan said. “I have no reason to object.”

"But look at her now—"

“She will get better,” Lu Xingyan said. “I know her better than you do. I know what she’s been through. She will definitely get over it soon.”

Hearing Lu Xingyan's attitude, Song Luobai angrily hung up the phone, speechless for a moment.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Xingyan had just put his phone away when he turned around and saw Ji Yan behind him.

After a period of rehabilitation and physical therapy training, her legs have improved a lot. As the training time gradually increases, she can now stand and walk with difficulty. However, she still has to consider the time and intensity, so most of the time, she is still in a wheelchair.

He should have heard the movement of her wheelchair, but he heard nothing at all and had no idea how long she had been behind him.

Coming to her senses, Lu Xingyan smiled. "When did you come out? Why didn't you call me?"

"Weren't you on the phone?" Ji Yan asked back, then maneuvered her wheelchair toward the elevator.

Lu Xingyan quickly followed her into the elevator. Just as he was about to say something to distract her, he suddenly heard Ji Yan say, "You seem to have something very important to do lately?"

Lu Xingyan reached out and pressed the floor button, then slowly turned to look at her. "What makes you say that?"

"I feel." Ji Yan didn't look at him, simply answering with two words.

After a moment of silence, Lu Xingyan slowly nodded and said, "Your intuition is quite accurate."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan finally looked up at him, and at the same time, Lu Xingyan bent down, looked at her, and whispered, "Do you want to... go abroad for a trip?"

Ji Yan paused, "Go abroad? What do you mean?"

Seeing her wary reaction, Lu Xingyan smiled slightly. "It doesn't mean anything by it, it's just an invitation... I'd like to invite you to my home." "Your home?" Ji Yanyi's eyes remained wary. "Is your home abroad?"

Lu Xingyan said, "My home is not my residence, but the place where my family is—San Diego. I have been back in China for a long time, and my mother has been urging me to go back... Recently, she has been urging me to go back more and more, as if I really have to go back at least once."

Hearing his words, Ji Yan was stunned for a while. Recalling some of his ambiguous conversations from before, she suddenly realized what he meant—

It turns out that what she perceived as ambiguity and strangeness was actually just her talking to her family on the phone.
Realizing what was happening, Ji Yan quickly said, "Since your mother is urging you to go back, you should hurry back and check on her."

“But I don’t want to go back alone,” Lu Xingyan said. “Don’t you really want to leave here temporarily and go out and see the world? After all, so many unpleasant things have happened since you came back, and you’re injured now… California has a comfortable climate and is perfect for vacations and relaxation. Come with me and see for yourself; maybe you’ll like it there?”

Ji Yan listened and simply looked at him quietly, without answering for a moment.

Lu Xingyan continued, "I know this invitation came abruptly and might be too sudden for you. Why don't you think about it for a few days? If you'd like to travel, then we can go together. I promise you, I'll be your best tour guide and will definitely give you an unparalleled travel experience."

Ji Yan remained silent for a while before finally speaking: "Okay, I'll consider it."

Lu Xingyan was overjoyed at the mere promise to consider it, her eyes practically brimming with undisguised delight. She said, "Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Ji Yan didn't return to the Yan family until the afternoon.

The car stopped in front of the Yan family's main building, and unsurprisingly, several other unfamiliar cars were parked in front of the building as well.

Lately, even without consciously paying attention, she could sense that many people seemed very busy.

For example, Lu Xingyan, and for example, Old Master Yan.

During the time she lived in the Yan family's house, the courtyard was mostly quiet and peaceful. But recently, it seemed that more and more people were coming, and each of them would spend most of the day chatting in Old Master Yan's room.

Even though she didn't ask what exactly happened, the recent news about the Yan family had been making headlines, and even if she was slow to realize it, she knew that these people's interactions were related to the Yan family.

Even if she knew, she never actively paid attention to anything, just like today.

However, to Ji Yan's surprise, the atmosphere in the Yan family was quite different when she entered the mansion—

The servants were all gathered at the kitchen doorway, looking as if something big had happened, whispering among themselves while glancing upstairs.

The usually empty stairwell was now occupied by two people, but they were not company employees; they were two public officials in uniform.

Hearing the noise, the two looked in Ji Yan's direction at the same time, but as if they had confirmed her identity in an instant, they exchanged a glance and quickly looked away.

At the same time, another noise came from upstairs; someone was coming out of Old Master Yan's room.

Ji Yan looked up and saw the butler and three other uniformed public officials.

In other words, what happened in this house today was indeed something significant, unlike anything seen before. (End of Chapter)
