Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 64 The Jiang Family, Yan Shiyu Kissed Her

A pair of ordinary slippers, after being dry-cleaned, were put back into the shoe cabinet by Tang Xu.

However, no one expected that these slippers, which had been lost and found, would not be used again for many days afterward.

In the days that followed, Tang Xu stayed at the freight company every day, taking turns on duty at each position, doing everything himself, and learning little by little from the most basic aspects.

I leave early and return late every day. By the time I get home, I'm so tired that I can't straighten my back and can only fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Yan Shiyu has probably been very busy these past few days and hasn't shown up for several days in a row, so Tang Xu was able to get a good night's sleep.

A week later, Tang Xu hosted a company dinner.

To accommodate the drivers whose schedules are extremely unpredictable, Tang Xu did not choose a restaurant or hotel as the venue for the gathering. Instead, a banquet was set up in the open space of the freight yard.

From 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., she stayed at the banquet. The workers who had finished their work took turns coming up to toast her and chat with her.

Tang Xu's alcohol tolerance wasn't particularly high. Although his mentors didn't usually drink much, there were so many people, and they kept drinking one cup after another. Tang Xu tried his best to hold on, but he still couldn't manage.

She didn't even leave the freight yard that day; she just fell asleep on the sofa in the office.

Tang Xu didn't know how long she had slept, but she suddenly woke up from her deep sleep. She felt thirsty and couldn't help but struggle to get up and try to find some water.

However, before she could fully open her eyes, a large hand suddenly supported the back of her head, and then a glass of water was placed to her lips.

Tang Xu immediately gulped it down, then licked her lips as she finished, "More..."

Before long, a second glass of water was brought to her lips.

Tang Xu drank half of the water before finally realizing something, slowly opening her eyes and looking at the person who had fed her the water.

Yan Shiyu sat in front of her, quietly lowering his eyes to feed her water.

Tang Xu was a little taken aback. She slowly finished the glass of water, her gaze still fixed on his face.

When Yan Shiyu turned around and put the cup down, she turned her head and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yan Shiyu turned around and said slowly, "It was one thing to come home late the other day, but now you're not even coming home at all?"

Tang Xu seemed to be awake, yet still drunk. Hearing him say those words, she suddenly giggled, then reached out, hugged his neck, and buried herself in his arms.

Yan Shiyu let her hug him without moving.

Until she was in his arms, her breathing gradually became steady and even again.

Looking down, I realized that the person had fallen asleep again sometime during the night.

Yan Shiyu's gaze lingered quietly on her face, which was bare of makeup and showed signs of exhaustion.

……

The next day, Tang Xu was woken up by the new manager in the office.

When she woke up, she was still lying on the sofa, covered with a blanket she had never seen before.

After getting drunk, Tang Xu's mind was actually very confused, and she couldn't even distinguish whether many scenes were real or dreams.

It wasn't until the manager examined the brand and material of the blanket covering her that she belatedly recalled some scenes.

So he really did come here.

The freight yard is located on the edge of the city line, and it's quite a distance from the city center.

And he just came over... and glanced at her?
Tang Xu's head was still spinning. She got up and took a shower. She finally cleared up a bit and returned to her office when she suddenly received a call from Jiang Beiheng.

Jiang Beiheng asked her on the phone if she had time to go back to the Jiang family mansion, and Tang Xu truthfully replied that she did not have time.

Jiang Beiheng remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Tang Xu, I know the Jiang family has wronged you, and you certainly don't want to see this old man right now—"

“Dad,” Tang Xu interrupted him, “I’m the kind of person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. I remember all the good things you’ve done for me.” Jiang Beiheng was quiet for a moment before chuckling softly, then said, “Next week is my birthday. I originally just wanted to have a quiet meal with my family, but my old friends all said we should have a big celebration, so I was thinking of inviting some people over for a meal. But if I’m home alone, I definitely won’t be able to manage everything…”

Tang Xu understood immediately upon hearing this.

Although she had a lot to think about, she finally agreed: "Dad, I will come to your birthday party."

……

For the next two days, Tang Xu continued to work from morning till night. Later, she went to a large freight company in another city with an industry senior for two days to learn and observe. She didn't return until the day of Jiang Beiheng's birthday banquet. She rushed home, changed her clothes, and then went to the Jiang family mansion.

Jiang Beiheng's birthday banquet was only open to close relatives and friends. Many people arrived early, and when Tang Xu arrived, the entrance was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

Inside, a professional hospitality team was busily working in an orderly fashion, while Jiang Beiheng sat among the crowd, chatting and laughing with old friends.

Tang Xu stepped forward and presented Jiang Beiheng with a gift as a guest, saying, "Happy birthday, Dad."

Jiang Beiheng smiled happily, but said, "Why are you back so late? Greet your uncles and elders first, then go to the kitchen to see how dinner is being prepared. Don't be impolite or neglectful."

In front of so many guests, Tang Xu couldn't say much, so he could only nod and get up to walk towards the kitchen.

However, just as she reached the middle of the way, the door to the bathroom on the ground floor opened, and a tall, elegant figure appeared before her.

Tang Xu suddenly paused.

As Yan Shiyu took the hand towel handed to him by the waiter, he looked up at her and casually asked, "You're back?"

What's he doing here?
Tang Xu never expected to see him here. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, but in the end she simply replied calmly, "Yes, I'm back."

He was a relative of the Jiang family, and in the eyes of the others in the house, he was her elder.

Therefore, there seems to be nothing wrong with this kind of conversation.

However, Tang Xu didn't dare to linger in front of him. After looking away, she hurriedly went into the kitchen.

Wen Qingyu, the wife of the second branch of the Jiang family and Jiang Muchen's cousin-in-law, is in charge of the kitchen as the hostess, so the kitchen doesn't really need Tang Xu.

Although Jiang Muchen, the proper young master, did not show up at the mansion, there were quite a few people from the second and third branches of the Jiang family.

It is definitely not the situation that Jiang Beiheng described, where "he is the only one at home."

However, Jiang Beiheng still insisted that she return, and in front of all the guests, he affirmed her identity and status.

Tang Xu sighed inwardly, went up to greet Wen Qingyu, and left without causing any trouble in the kitchen.

When she returned to the hall, she found that Qin Yun was also there. Jiang Beiheng got up to greet her and stood outside the crowd talking to her.

Tang Xu quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Auntie, you're here too."

Qin Yun nodded slightly and said, "It's my father-in-law's birthday, so I should come to offer my congratulations."

Jiang Beiheng simply turned to look at her and asked, "How's the kitchen preparation going?"

"It's almost done," Tang Xu said. "My sister-in-law is watching."

Jiang Beiheng nodded, looked around, and then said, "Shi Yu just went to the greenhouse in the back garden to look at the orchids. Go and invite him, and tell him that dinner is about to be served."

Tang Xu nodded obediently and turned to walk towards the back garden.

The weather was slightly cool today, and there was almost no one in the back garden. Tang Xu hurried into the greenhouse to look for someone. Just as she turned past a row of flower racks, she was suddenly pulled into someone's arms.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar aura swept over us.

Yan Shiyu kissed her directly.

Starting tomorrow, we'll resume 4 days a week!
