Marriage Seduction Addiction

Tang Xu also knew that he was indeed being a little too cautious in this matter.

But she had no choice.

She has lost her twice already.

Now that she has finally seen hope again, she doesn't want any unexpected complications to shatter this beautiful expectation.

Their relationship was already complicated and would take a very long time to explain and sort out, and she was really afraid of scaring her.

In particular, it was a rare opportunity for Yan Shiyu to regain her trust and reliance.

Until their sibling relationship is completely stable, Tang Xu still only dares to hold onto the hope that Ji Yan will accept her.

Even if this expectation remains just that—an expectation—it's still better for her than losing her again.

Therefore, she stayed in Yunting City for two days.

On the third day, after thoroughly handling all official and trivial matters, she finally set off to return to Huai City.

Over the past two days, she knew that Ji Yan was recovering quite well, and her spirits were improving day by day. At the same time, she was gradually becoming familiar with herself, the people around her, and the environment...

Tang Xu felt at ease, satisfied, and grateful about this.

However, I couldn't help feeling uneasy when I returned to Huai City.

Recalling what Yan Shiyu had said earlier, it seemed that he did not intend to hide the relationship between the two from Ji Yan for long, and she was clearly not psychologically prepared to face it now.

It happened to be Saturday, and Tang Xu's high-speed train arrived at dusk. By then, Song Luobai should have already returned from school, so Tang Xu decided to head to Yujing Bay first.

Back at the apartment building, looking up, I saw that the lights in the rooms were indeed on.

Tang Xu took the elevator upstairs and skillfully took out his key to open the door.

However, she was stunned as soon as she entered the house.

It's normal for Song Luobai to make noises in the house since he's home.

But at this moment, she heard the sound of the range hood, the sound of the television, and Song Luobai's low voice—

Clearly, there was more than one person in the room.

Song Luobai has returned with his men?

Tang Xu was stunned for a moment before finally stepping through the entrance hall into the living room. When she saw the scene inside, she froze on the spot.

Song Luobai was sitting on the sofa.

The person sitting next to him was Ji Yan.

A photo album was placed in front of the two of them. Because Ji Yan's hands were injured, she kept them still, while Song Luobai was flipping through the album and explaining something to Ji Yan in a low voice.

Hearing the noise, the two of them looked up at the frozen Tang Xu.

Song Luobai frowned.

Tang Xu didn't look at her at all; her entire attention was focused on Ji Yan.

Ji Yan's clear, pure, and slightly curious gaze also fell on her.

Ji Yan was looking at her very carefully, scrutinizing her and observing her.

Tang Xu's entire body stiffened and tensed up to the extreme because of her gaze.

She had no idea how she should react, or even whether she should laugh.

She waited for Ji Yan to give her a reaction, as if she were awaiting a verdict.

until--

Ji Yan tilted her head slightly and gave her a gentle and sweet smile.

"You're back?"

she says.

Like someone I've known for a long time.

Like close friends.

Like Xu Xingyang.

Tang Xu's tears suddenly fell without warning. The two people on the sofa were clearly flustered the moment her tears slid down her cheeks.

Song Luobai stopped frowning, stood up abruptly from the sofa, and rushed to her side. "What's wrong? Were you bullied in Yunting or something?"

Ji Yan also stood up, looking at her with obvious worry and a hint of self-blame in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, noises came from the kitchen.

Someone opened the door and came out of the kitchen.

It was Yan Shiyu.

He stood in the kitchen doorway, watching Tang Xu, as if he had already anticipated her reaction. He simply stood there quietly, silently mouthing the words—

"coward."

Tang Xu's tears suddenly surged even more.

Yan Shiyu's gaze paused slightly, but before he could react, Tang Xu bypassed Lu Xingyan and walked straight to Ji Yan, avoiding her injured hand, and reached out to hug her.

She knew she was still crying, she knew how inappropriate it was for her to be like this, but at that moment she really couldn't control her emotions, especially after truly embracing her.

Tang Xu was really afraid that she would break down and cry at any moment.

"I'm sorry... I was just so happy to see you." Tang Xu used the last of her strength to maintain her composure. "I need to wash my face... I'll go wash my face... I'll be right back..."

As she spoke, she very slowly released her grip, stared at Ji Yan for a long time, and finally turned and stumbled into the bathroom.

As soon as she entered the room, Tang Xu turned on the tap, buried herself in the sink, and let her tears gush out along with her out-of-control emotions.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a door opening and closing came from behind.

Someone followed her into the bathroom.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Xu was pulled into an extremely familiar embrace.

Yan Shiyu's voice was filled with helplessness, "So you're not just a coward, you're a crybaby too."

Tang Xu opened her mouth and bit him hard in the chest, but she still couldn't stop sobbing afterward.

"We agreed... we wouldn't tell her for now..." she choked out her accusation.

"Who told you that?" Yan Shiyu asked in a low voice.

In a daze, Tang Xu remembered that he had indeed never agreed with her ideas from beginning to end, and she couldn't help but cry even harder.

"How could you... bring her here without telling me beforehand... I wasn't prepared at all... You made me feel like a madman in front of her..."

She was sweating from crying. Yan Shiyu gently tidied her hair and said, "She won't mind."

“She will!” Tang Xu said, “In her heart, you are the only brother she trusts and relies on… but the woman beside you is like a madwoman…”

Tang Xu pursed her lips, her complex and chaotic emotions surging even more intensely.

Yan Shiyu cupped her face, lowered his head and pressed his lips to Tang Xu's sobbing lips, murmuring, "She won't... because she knows how important you are to this brother. She also knows how important she is to you."

Tang Xu had no idea how Yan Shiyu had managed to do it.

Ji Yan had just woken up.

She had only been gone for two days.

How did he manage to tell Ji Yan so much in just two days, and get her to accept it so quickly?

This was a situation Tang Xu never dared to dream of, yet it actually happened.

She waited so long, she was so anxious for so long...

He just waited longer than she did.

Tang Xu could finally fully imagine what he felt when Ji Yan finally woke up and called out "Brother" to him.

Did he also feel like her, unable to stop crying?
But he can't cry.

He wouldn't allow himself to cry.

Tang Xu, however, couldn't control herself and cried her heart out until her eyes were red and swollen and her hair was soaked—(End of Chapter)
