Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 66: Not really thinking about it, or thinking about it a lot?

The birthday banquet was a joyous occasion for both host and guests.

It's clear that Jiang Beiheng is in a really good mood today; it's probably the best day he's had since returning to China.

At the end of the banquet, Tang Xu's sister-in-law, Wen Qingyu, sat down next to him and chatted with him.

"Do you know why Mu Chen came back today?"

Upon hearing this question, Tang Xu chuckled, "Do you think I would know?"

"you……"

“My decision has never changed,” Tang Xu said.

Wen Qingyu paused for a moment before continuing, "Judging from today's situation and my uncle's attitude, I thought you had already reconciled..."

"There's no way we can ever reconcile in this lifetime," Tang Xu said.

After listening, Wen Qingyu sighed slightly and didn't say anything more about the topic.

Until the banquet ended and the guests left, Tang Xu stood at the door, seeing off each of the distinguished guests of the night.

When Yan Shiyu left with the crowd, Tang Xu didn't even have time to glance at him before she saw the taillights of his car light up.

Immediately afterwards, the car followed the convoy and left in an orderly manner.

Just as Tang Xu was about to leave after seeing all the guests off, Jiang Beiheng called her back.

The team downstairs was cleaning and tidying up when Jiang Beiheng called Tang Xu upstairs to the study.

Since the Song family was investigated, Tang Xu hadn't visited him for a while, not for any other reason, but mainly because he was busy.

Seeing that Jiang Beiheng was in much better condition, she was actually happy for him.

Tang Xu had no expectations about what Jiang Beiheng wanted to talk to her about.

“You haven’t been back for a long time. I know you’ve been busy with the Song family business. I’ve been wanting to talk to you, but I’ve never found the opportunity,” Jiang Beiheng said. “It’s rare that I feel so good today, so I wanted to talk to you…”

"Dad, you're very tired today, you should rest early."

Jiang Beiheng waved his hand, paused for a moment, and then said, "I know Mu Chen did something foolish, and I had a big argument with him about it... I can't defend him, but if he has regretted it, can you give him another chance?"

Tang Xu listened quietly with her eyes lowered, then suddenly chuckled, "Jiang Muchen will regret it?"

“He will!” Jiang Beiheng answered confidently. “He already regrets it.”

Tang Xu looked at him, "Did he tell your father himself?"

Jiang Beiheng shook his head, looked at Tang Xu, and said, "I know what he did, I couldn't stop him... but I know he stopped later. Given his personality, the fact that he stopped means he's thought it through, that he regretted it—"

Tang Xu recalled what Gao Yan had told her.

Those who had previously testified against Song have recently changed their testimonies and are no longer falsely accusing him.

This is probably what Jiang Beiheng meant when he said... Jiang Muchen stopped?
In fact, Tang Xu had thought of this point at the time, but she was unwilling to think about it in depth.

If it came from Jiang Beiheng, then it's most likely true.

But she didn't want to think too much about it, firstly because the other party was Jiang Muchen, and she didn't want to know anything about what he did or why he did it;

Secondly, with Song Yuting dead, no matter how the situation changes, it will ultimately be of no use.

“Dad, I know you’re good to me, I know you’ve done a lot for me,” Tang Xu said. “But some things, once they’ve happened, they’ve happened, and there’s no going back.”

Jiang Beiheng listened in silence for a long time before finally saying, "Even if I were to promise you—"

“Dad, you can’t promise anything,” Tang Xu said. “My dad is dead and will never come back. That’s my answer.”

Reason clearly told her that Song Yuting's death might not be directly related to Jiang Muchen.

He was already in poor health, and his heart disease was recurring. It was during that time that his condition suddenly led to his death.

But Tang Xu just couldn't separate his death from what Jiang Muchen had done.

For her, it was something she could never separate from for a lifetime.

Upon hearing Tang Xu's answer, Jiang Beiheng was unable to utter another word.

……

After leaving the Jiang family, Tang Xu went to the freight company first before returning to Yujing Bay. The moment she opened the door, the house was empty, cold, and dark.

Tang Xu stood at the door for a moment in a daze before going inside to change her shoes.

Inside the shoe cabinet, the men's slippers sat quietly.

Tang Xu's thoughts were complicated and hard to discern. After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and made a call.

However, the call was abruptly cut off as soon as it connected.

Tang Xu was stunned for a moment, staring at the phone screen for a long time until the call ended automatically.

In that instant, she felt completely lost.

Then the phone suddenly rang again.

Tang Xu opened it and saw a photo of the car interior with the caption: Meeting.

Tang Xu zoomed in on the photo, and after seeing the familiar parking lot pillar through the car window, she immediately turned around, went out, and went downstairs.

Yan Shiyu's car was parked on the second basement level.

Tang Xu quietly got into the car without disturbing Yan Shiyu, who was having a video conference next to her.

She sat quietly to his side, waiting for his meeting to end.

But she never expected that this transoceanic conference would be so long, so long that she couldn't help but doze off in her comfortable car seat.

When she woke up again, someone was kissing her.

Tang Xu opened her eyes groggily, glanced at the man's features so close to her, reached out and hugged him, giving him a passionate kiss.

She thought that Yan Shiyu probably missed her.

The kind of thoughts a man has about a woman's body.

But Tang Xu never expected that Yan Shiyu would slowly release her while kissing her.

Tang Xu looked up at him.

Yan Shiyu exchanged a glance with her and said slowly, "You're so tired, go upstairs and rest."

That's not quite right.

Tang Xu turned her head to look at him, "Aren't you going up?"

"Next time," Yan Shiyu replied.

What was that kiss just now?

Tang Xu bit her lip, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly snorted, "Next time is fine, I didn't really want to anyway!"

After saying this, she pushed open the door, got out of the car, and went straight upstairs.

Both elevators were running at the same time. Tang Xu had just stepped out of the elevator on the left when the elevator on the right opened almost simultaneously on this floor.

Tang Xu strode forward, and just as she slipped into the house to close the door, it was too late.

Yan Shiyu entered the house and slammed the door shut behind the two of them.

Tang Xu was pinned against the wall in the entryway, listening to his deep voice ask:

"'Not really wanting'...is that how much you wanting?"

Tang Xu gently lifted her leg and rubbed it against a certain spot.

"Anyway, Mr. Yan doesn't think that way..."

The answer had already been revealed to her in the car, yet she still had to hold back, trying to be a virtuous person, but she couldn't resist a single word that provoked her.

Tang Xu couldn't explain her own thoughts, she only knew that she didn't want him to leave like this tonight.

"I need a positive answer," Yan Shiyu whispered, nuzzling her nose.

Tang Xu met his lips and murmured, "Then you can check it yourself..."
