Marriage Seduction Addiction

Tang Xu didn't actually want to hide.

In fact, just as she said, she felt that Ji Yan's current state was a good thing.

All the suffering she had in the past was actually caused by her losing her memory and being deliberately instilled with negative thoughts, which led to misunderstandings about Yan Shiyu.

But now, she remembered the days when she and Yan Shiyu depended on each other for survival. She remembered this brother and relied on him.

This is enough.

All other gaps can be built upon this beautiful sibling relationship and then gradually filled in.

She and Lu Xingyan were the same.

She longed to fill the void in her memory, just as Lu Xingyan had said, but...

Tang Xu still vividly remembers her attitude when she learned that Yan Shiyu and Tang Xu were together last time.

She really wasn't sure how Ji Yan would react if things happened again.

So she just hoped to appear in front of her slowly, very slowly, so as not to cause her any shock.

However, Yan Shiyu clearly did not think that way, and directly rejected her idea.

Tang Xu knew she couldn't argue with him, and besides, this was a time when everyone should be happy, and Ji Yan was still injured. Arguing about such things was pointless. So Tang Xu simply let out a breath, squeezed his hand, and said, "I'm going to make a phone call."

Yan Shiyu naturally knew who she was calling, so she simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

Tang Xu turned and walked away, until she reached the connecting corridor, before taking out her phone. Just as she was about to call Jiang Beiheng, Jiang Beiheng's call came in first.

“I’m in the hospital parking lot, is it convenient for you to come down?” Jiang Beiheng asked her.

Tang Xu quickly went downstairs to the parking lot and found Jiang Beiheng's car. The driver stood next to the car and opened the door for her, and Tang Xu got into the car.

Jiang Beiheng's brows furrowed with deep worry, clearly indicating that he had a general idea of ​​the situation: "How could this be? Does she really only remember things from her childhood and nothing after that?"

Tang Xu paused for a moment before saying, "Her memories had already been forcibly interfered with. When she was injured, her emotions fluctuated so much, and she also had a fever while injured. None of us know what kind of impact these things will have on her brain when they are connected."

"And now she..."

“She only remembers Yan Shiyu now.” Tang Xu knew what he wanted to ask and answered directly, “He is her brother, her only trust and reliance.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Beiheng turned his face slightly away, looked out the car window, and fell silent.

Tang Xu quickly added, "I think this situation is best for her. You know how painful it was for her when she had misunderstandings and resentment towards Yan Shiyu. Even when you appeared in her life as her father, was she ever happy for a single minute? But now, she has found her brother again, and she can grow up again happily without him being absent—isn't that happiness more important than anything else? As for the relationship between you and her, it is completely unfamiliar, unknown, and terrifying to her. When you acknowledged this daughter, did you want her to be happy or to be terrified?"

Jiang Beiheng listened quietly to what Tang Xu said, remained silent for a long time, and finally chuckled softly, saying, "You said you would stand on his side unconditionally. Now it seems that you have indeed taken his side very thoroughly."

Tang Xu paused for a moment before saying, "Perhaps there is an element of siding with him in what I said, but once you think it through, you will realize that I am actually speaking to you from Ji Yan's side."

“But her identity has already been made public, and no one can hide it from her, not even Yan Shiyu,” Jiang Beiheng said.

“Yes, why hide something that can’t be hidden?” Tang Xu said. “She will find out about this relationship, she will be full of doubts, and she might even be curious. She might want to get closer to you, understand you, and see what kind of person you are as a father… Isn’t this the best solution for you?”

Jiang Beiheng slowly exhaled and turned to look at Tang Xu, "You really are a very good persuader."

"I'm not trying to convince you of anything; I'm just analyzing the current situation for you," Tang Xu replied.

"Then tell me, even if she's full of curiosity, would Yan Shiyu let her come to me on her own?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu immediately replied earnestly, "I can guarantee that. As long as it's something she wants to do, Yan Shiyu will definitely not stop her. He definitely won't. Besides, didn't you already give him the ward and the opportunity to accompany her?"

Jiang Beiheng nodded slowly before saying, "So, right now, besides going back and waiting, there's nothing else I can do?"

Tang Xu pursed her lips slightly and said, "To some extent, I'm the same as you. It seems there's really nothing else we can do but wait."

After a long while, Jiang Muchen slowly closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and said nothing more.

……

Before Ji Yan's condition stabilized, the three people who were guarding her in the ward all wanted to persuade each other to go back and rest, but they knew that no one would be willing to leave, so no one said anything.

After Ji Yan's condition stabilized, Yan Shiyu naturally could not leave, while Lu Xingyan would absolutely not leave.

Tang Xu ran away first.

Lu Xingyan called her a coward.

Yan Shiyu felt helpless, but also felt that it was right for her to go back and get a good night's rest, so after agreeing on a time to come back the next day, she didn't say anything more.

The next morning around 5 a.m., Ji Yan woke up again.

When she woke up, Yan Shiyu was sitting in the accompanying sofa chair next to the hospital bed, while Lu Xingyan was on a sofa further away.

She woke up very quietly, almost by opening her eyes and turning her head slightly. But even this slight movement caused Yan Shiyu, who had been resting with her eyes closed, to immediately open them. Lu Xingyan, who was on the sofa, also immediately got up and came to her bedside.

"Why are you awake so early?" Yan Shiyu leaned forward to look at her. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Yan had just woken up, her eyes were still a little blurry, and she didn't reply for a moment after hearing what Yan Shiyu said.

Yan Shiyu remained silent, and Lu Xingyan held his breath, waiting for her reply.

After all, when she woke up last time, she was like a completely different person; she didn't remember anyone except Yan Shiyu.

This is only the second time she has woken up. Who knows what new and incredible changes might occur this time?
However, Ji Yan's gaze lingered on Yan Shiyu's face for a long time, and when she spoke again, it was still that somewhat dazed question: "Brother?"

The air fell silent for two seconds before Yan Shiyu replied, "I'm here."

Lu Xingyan clearly noticed that Yan Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He himself also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Shiyu reached out and gently stroked Ji Yan's hair. "Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Ji Yan moved her hand slightly, then frowned. "My hand hurts." "Don't move." Yan Shiyu immediately pressed her down, then pressed the call button on the bedside control panel. "I'll call the nurse to change your dressing. You'll feel better after the dressing is changed."

Ji Yan nodded obediently.

A short while later, the nurse came in and carefully changed Ji Yan's dressing, which finally eased her slightly tense expression.

As dawn broke, Yan Shiyu asked, "Are you hungry? Do you have an appetite? What would you like to eat? I'll have someone bring it up."

Ji Yan shook her head again, indicating that she didn't want to eat.

"Even if you don't want to eat, you have to eat something." Lu Xingyan finally spoke her first words of the morning. "You were injured and had a fever for two days. It's been so long since you've eaten anything. How can you recover your strength if you don't eat? I'll go prepare something."

After saying that, Lu Xingyan turned and walked out of the ward.

Ji Yan had just recovered from the pain. After watching Lu Xingyan's departing figure for a while, she finally looked away and asked Yan Shiyu, "Why is this person still here?"

After waking up for the first time yesterday, she had already questioned Lu Xingyan's identity. After receiving the answer that he was just an "ordinary friend," she obviously couldn't understand why this "ordinary friend" would still stay in her hospital room.

"Hospital wards are deserted, so having more people around is a good thing," Yan Shiyu said.

The answer was actually too vague. Ji Yan seemed to understand but didn't question it. She just nodded slightly and then stared blankly at her injured finger.

"It will get better soon," Yan Shiyu said. "Don't be afraid."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yan slowly raised her eyes to look at him, and suddenly smiled, "With my brother here, I'm not afraid."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu's eyes froze for a moment before he smiled slightly and reached out to pat her head.

Ji Yan stared at him for a while, then suddenly said, "Brother, you don't seem to smile as much as you used to. Have a lot happened these past few years? How have you been?"

She woke up too soon yesterday, and such a big change happened. He was worried about her condition and changes, and didn't have time to sort out many things. Yan Shiyu foresaw that she would have many questions. Fortunately, they still had a lot of time to talk about the things they hadn't had time to say.

Upon hearing her question, Yan Shiyu paused for a moment, then smiled again.

"As long as you recover quickly, there is nothing better for me than this."

After listening, Ji Yan was quiet for a moment, then she also laughed.

Many other issues seemed insignificant at this moment; as long as he was still by her side and doing well, everything seemed to be enough.

Lu Xingyan returned very quickly.

No one knew where he had gone. When she re-entered the ward, two food delivery staff members were behind her, each carrying a tray with various kinds of bowls, plates, and dishes neatly arranged on it. When the food was presented to Ji Yan, it was a dazzling array of dishes—

"This is millet and pumpkin porridge, with only a little rock sugar added for flavor, so it's not sweet; this is chicken and yam porridge, which can replenish qi and blood; this is japonica rice porridge, with nothing added... This is lily and snow pear water, this is American ginseng and ophiopogon japonicus soup, this is winter melon and barley soup, this is codonopsis, fig, and lean pork soup..."

Lu Xingyan introduced each type of food in front of her in detail, then looked at Ji Yan and said, "Whatever you want to eat is fine."

Ji Yan was clearly taken aback by the scene. She glanced at Lu Xingyan, then looked at Yan Shiyu again, "Brother?"

Yan Shiyu glanced at Lu Xingyan, too lazy to comment on him, and simply said to Ji Yan, "It's okay, eat whatever you want, as much as you want."

Ji Yan stared at the variety of food in front of her, hesitated for a while, and then chose chicken and yam porridge.

As soon as she made her choice, Lu Xingyan reached out and picked up the bowl.

Ji Yan instinctively called out, "Brother!"

The meaning of that sound couldn't be clearer.

Lu Xingyan's hand paused, frozen in mid-air, before Yan Shiyu reached out and took it.

The food, which had just been prepared, was served in a thin bone china bowl, yet it wasn't hot to the touch; it was at just the right temperature.

Yan Shiyu picked up the spoon and slowly brought it to Ji Yan's lips.

Lu Xingyan returned to silence, sat back on the sofa, and opened her tablet to look at the screen.

He seemed to be dealing with something important, looking very serious. However, whenever Ji Yan occasionally glanced in his direction, he could always catch her gaze precisely.

However, after only a glance, he lowered his head again and continued to look at the screen in front of him.

Taciturn yet talkative.

Passionate yet indifferent.

Yan Shiyu didn't care much about the persona that Lu Xingyan was currently projecting.

After Ji Yan finished breakfast, the caregiver accompanied her into the bathroom, and Yan Shiyu finally had a moment to check her phone.

He received a message while feeding Ji Yan breakfast, and that's when he saw it was from Tang Xu.

"There's been a bit of a problem at the freight station in Yunting. I'm going there with two senior employees to handle it, so we won't be able to come today. You guys stay with her and take good care of her."

Yan Shiyu read the entire message at a glance and immediately dialed the number.

As soon as the call connected, Yan Shiyu heard a voice broadcast in the background.

"Have we arrived at the high-speed rail station yet?" Yan Shiyu asked.

"Yes, it happened early this morning, we should get there as soon as possible." Tang Xu only answered one sentence before asking, "How is she? Is she awake? Is she in good spirits today?"

Yan Shiyu paused for a few seconds before saying, "That's good, I've had breakfast too."

"That's good." Tang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Once I've dealt with things over there, I hope to come back to find her full of life... You must take good care of her!"

Yan Shiyu remained silent for a moment, and finally gave the same three-word evaluation—

"Coward." (End of Chapter)
