Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 76 I Want You Here
Tang Xu had no idea what had happened inside that unfamiliar car in the parking lot.

She couldn't see Yan Shiyu's trembling hands, couldn't see his grip on her hands with all his might, and couldn't see his bloodshot and gloomy expression—

The empty and desolate parking lot was suddenly punctuated by a sharp horn blare after a long while.

No one cares.

No one will hear the muffled, painful, trapped beast-like roar in the darkness—

……

The next day, Tang Xu arrived at the airport early again.

She should have gone to Jiangcheng again.

However, just before boarding, she canceled her ticket and changed her route to Chengdu.

As the weather gradually warmed up, Lu Xingyan left Nancheng and rented a place for himself on a scenic hilltop in Rongshi. Every day, he would open the door to look at the mountain and open the window to see the clouds, continuing his vacation life.

Tang Xu really wanted to kick him off the mountain.

However, after sleeping in the small room of his residence, Tang Xu changed his mind.

She wanted to take this small room for herself.

It's so comfortable, no wonder he's staying here and doesn't want to leave.

When Tang Xu woke up, Lu Xingyan was outside grilling a delicious steak.

When Tang Xu came out, he handed her a plate of grilled steak, praising his cooking skills and boasting about his dream of opening a bed and breakfast.

"That's great," Tang Xu said. "These days, all those pretty girls love taking photos and checking in at all sorts of unique guesthouses. If you really get into this, you might have a string of romantic encounters—"

Before he could finish speaking, the plate of roasted meat that he had already gotten his hands on was suddenly taken back.

Lu Xingyan said, "I'd rather feed it to the dogs than feed it to you."

Tang Xu was starving. Disregarding her dignity, she begged the plate of roast meat back from his hands, not caring about her image at all, and put the meat into her mouth with her bare hands.

Seeing her like this, Lu Xingyan frowned and said, "You really should let that Mr. Yan see you like this—"

Tang Xu puffed out her cheeks and chewed the beef in her mouth, as if she hadn't heard him, and finished the whole plate of beef.

Lu Xingyan keenly sensed something and asked her, "What happened?"

"The meat is grilled well." Tang Xu handed the empty plate back to him. "I'll come back to eat again next time."

As she was about to leave, Lu Xingyan grabbed her arm.

“I know even if you don’t tell me, it must be related to that Mr. Yan.” Lu Xingyan said very seriously, “No matter what happened, you and he only have one way to go, and that is to break up completely.”

Tang Xu listened but did not reply.

Lu Xingyan continued, "I know you have a heavy psychological burden. You feel like you owe him a lot... But continuing like this won't do either of you any good. In fact, things might get even worse in the future, and the consequences might be unbearable for either of you. Listen to me, whether you call it ingratitude or kicking someone after they've served their purpose, go back and cut all ties with him completely, understand?"

Tang Xu reached out and pinched his cheek, saying, "You can continue your vacation here. I'm going back to fight for my future."

“You know I’m right,” Lu Xingyan said stubbornly. “Go back and put your head up with a pillow and think it through.”

That evening, Tang Xu finally flew to Jiangcheng once again.

I didn't really care about the day she was absent.

The second day was the final event, and Tang Xu mingled among a group of bigwigs, visiting the industry giant's latest unmanned intelligent delivery base station.

While self-driving cars are not new, their application in logistics is still relatively new, especially for newcomers like Tang Xu.

She observed very attentively; while everyone else moved on, she stayed at the dispatch station to watch the dispatcher's second demonstration.

When she saw a truck heading towards the dispatch station, she was only thinking about when the truck would stop.

Even though it was already very close to the dispatch station, the truck not only didn't stop, but actually seemed to speed up.

Tang Xu finally realized something was wrong.

But it was already too late.

With a loud bang, the driverless truck crashed heavily into the dispatch station!

The window frame shattered, and glass flew everywhere.

……

For industry giants, this was supposed to be a perfect stage to showcase their latest achievements, but it turned into an accident.

The incident made the news that very day, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

In a secluded corner, Tang Xu, who had sustained minor injuries, was taken to the hospital.

Fortunately, neither of the two dispatchers who were with her at the dispatch station were injured.

Employee injuries are something companies don't want to see, and they also amplify the incident in society.

When she, a junior in the same industry, gets injured or has a minor problem, the big shot can easily resolve it with just a word.

After a series of examinations, it was determined that Tang Xu only had minor abrasions and sprains, but she still needed to stay in the hospital for observation. The company representative left her with a few words of blessing and a caregiver before going off to attend to other matters.

Tang Xu didn't like hospitals. Lying in the hospital bed with nothing to do, she could only cover her head and sleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

The lights in the ward were dim. Tang Xu was not fully awake yet. When she noticed someone sitting by the bed, she assumed it was a caregiver.

She didn't feel like talking and was about to turn over and go back to sleep when a faint, familiar scent of cedarwood suddenly brushed past her nose.

Tang Xu suddenly woke up and turned around to see the person sitting by the hospital bed. She was so shocked that she forgot about her sprained wrist and immediately sat up, supporting herself on the bed.

Yan Shiyu, dressed in a black suit, sat in the darkness, his gaze equally somber and unfathomable.

Tang Xu's heart was pounding, and she blurted out, "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come, or do you not want me to come?" Yan Shiyu asked.

Tang Xu was somewhat dazed. When he asked that question, she was still looking back towards the door of the ward.

He seemed worried that someone would push the door open and walk in, only to see him there.

However, the moment she heard Yan Shiyu's question clearly, she suddenly stopped.

When she looked back at him, Lu Xingyan's voice suddenly flashed through her mind—

No matter what happened, there's only one path you and he can take: a complete breakup.

She paused for a moment, a thousand thoughts racing through her mind.

Yan Shiyu simply watched her quietly the whole time.

He had been sitting in the dim light for a long time, and his eyes had long since adjusted to the light.

He saw every change in her expression clearly and sharply.

Yan Shiyu sat motionless.

As if waiting for something.

But he knew he couldn't wait much longer.

That familiar feeling was slowly and uncontrollably spreading from my heart, along my meridians and blood vessels, gradually expanding.

He tried his best to suppress it, but he knew perfectly well how difficult that would be.

He could even feel the energy within his body flowing slowly towards his fingertips—

He knew he couldn't sit there any longer.

However, just as he was about to get up, Tang Xu suddenly came to greet him.

She reached out and hugged him tightly.

“I want you here,” she said.
