Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 86 Pushing the envelope
"looking at what?"

Yan Shiyu asked the question knowing the answer already.

Tang Xu raised her eyes, glared at him, snorted, and reached out to push him away.

However, as soon as she reached out her hand, Yan Shiyu grabbed her arm.

Tang Xu then realized that she had subconsciously used her right hand again.

Yan Shiyu held her arm, his gaze sweeping over her wrist before settling on her face. His eyes were deep, and his voice was also deep.

"You really don't want this hand anymore, do you?"

Tang Xu bit her lip and said, "What difference does it make whether I have hands or not when I'm locked up like this?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyu slowly said, "You don't like being locked up?"

"I don't like it," Tang Xu replied.

"Then just bear with it."

After saying this, Yan Shiyu slowly released her hand and walked into the bedroom dressing room.

Tang Xu took a while to realize what was happening.

Do you have to put up with it just because you don't like it?

When did this person become so domineering?

Tang Xu turned and glanced into the bedroom, then quickly looked away and returned to the sofa where she had been sitting, continuing to wear a sullen expression.

It wasn't until Yan Shiyu finished showering, changed her clothes, and reappeared in the living room with her hair still slightly damp that she finally came back.

Then, he took out a medicine box from the locker and sat down next to Tang Xu.

"hand."

Tang Xu reluctantly handed him her hand with a cold expression.

Yan Shiyu unwrapped the gauze from her wrist, cleaned and disinfected it, carefully observed the redness and swelling, and then took the medicine and sprayed it on her wound again.

Tang Xu had maintained a cold expression, but seeing his calm and focused demeanor, she suddenly realized—

He was genuinely worried about her hands.

Thinking of this, Tang Xu unconsciously pulled her hand back.

Yan Shiyu quickly grasped her fingers, glanced at her, and said, "Don't move."

Tang Xu immediately dared not move again.

It wasn't until Yan Shiyu wrapped new gauze around her wrist that she said, "Stay here for another day tomorrow."

Tang Xu was about to retort, but the moment she met Yan Shiyu's gaze, she suddenly found herself unable to utter those words.

After a moment of silence, Tang Xu said, "We can stay another day tomorrow, but we absolutely cannot stay the day after tomorrow."

Yan Shiyu looked up at her.

Tang Xu suddenly broke into a big laugh, “The court hearing is the day after tomorrow, and I have to attend.”

Yan Shiyu's gaze lingered on her face. After a moment, he suddenly leaned forward and kissed her.

Tang Xu paused for a moment before wrapping her arms around his shoulders and neck, responding eagerly.

So the next day, Tang Xu spent another day as a caged bird in the mansion.

She was much more relaxed that day, and even took some time to deal with some work-related issues, and also made a dinner appointment for the next evening.

Tang Xu slept very well that night and woke up feeling refreshed in the morning.

Gao Yan took her back to Yujing Bay early in the morning. After changing her clothes, Tang Xu took a taxi to the court.

She soon met with her lawyer and they waited together for the court hearing.

During this time, she also met Jiang Muchen's lawyer, but did not meet Jiang Muchen himself.

"Jiang Muchen is also going to appear in court in person today, right?" Tang Xu couldn't help but ask.

The lawyer replied, "That's the general rule... but there are exceptions."

Upon hearing this answer, Tang Xu couldn't help but frown slightly.

She had a bad feeling.

When the court session was scheduled to begin, the opposing lawyer, who had been calm and collected throughout, suddenly requested a postponement, stating that Jiang Muchen had been in a car accident on his way to court and had been taken to the hospital for examination, making him unable to attend. The court instructed the opposing party to provide the necessary supporting documents later and then granted the postponement.

Tang Xu had anticipated this, so he wasn't surprised, but rather found it laughable.

As he left the courtroom, many reporters who had been waiting outside came up to him. They had originally wanted to interview him about the outcome of the trial, but now they could only grab Tang Xu and ask him the same old questions.

Tang Xu responded briefly and offered her "kind regards" regarding Jiang Muchen's injuries from the accidental car crash: "I hope he's still alive."

One sentence was enough to excite the reporters, but Tang Xu did not respond further and returned to the company in her lawyer's car.

Tang Xu was in a bad mood because she thought there would be some initial results, but things hadn't even gotten started. She still stayed at the company all day.

Around 5 p.m., someone knocked on her office door.

"Come in."

Tang Xu, engrossed in studying the documents, responded with a curt "yes" without even looking up.

The door was quickly pushed open, and someone walked into the office, but remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't until Tang Xu looked up that she saw Song Yuqiao standing in front of her desk, her eyes vacant and resentful.

"Why are you here?"

Song Yuqiao threw her phone directly in front of Tang Xu.

Tang Xu lowered her eyes and saw a post exposing a scandal, accompanied by the title: "Shocking Scandal in a Wealthy Family! The Fall of a Fallen Heiress!"

Below the two huge exclamation marks is a photograph.

A photo with the face blurred by a mosaic effect.

However, Tang Xu had seen the original photo, so she knew who the person in the photo was.

For a moment, Tang Xu's mind went blank, but she quickly scrolled to the reply section.

Perhaps because the accompanying image was pixelated, most of the comments were sarcastic and disbelieving, and the post didn't get much attention.

"Do you know who did it?" Song Yuqiao asked her.

Tang Xu glanced at her and asked, "How would I know?"

“Since you got the photos, you know who has them,” Song Yuqiao said. “This person said he will continue to release more information…”

Tang Xu couldn't help but close her eyes, take a deep breath, and her mind went blank again.

She did have the answer in her heart.

It could be either Qin Zhaowen or Jiang Muchen.

Tang Xu leans towards the latter.

Of course, it has to be today.

The photo was still blurred out.

Is it a threat, a warning, or retaliation?

Or perhaps, both?

……

The "intoxication" of the night is a scene of dazzling lights, intoxicating pleasures, and decadent indulgence.

When Tang Xu pushed open the door to one of the private rooms, he found men and women mingling together, creating quite a lively scene.

Jiang Muchen's friend Li Xinyang was raising his glass to Jiang Muchen, "Come on, come on, what's wrong with you tonight? It's just a divorce, what's the big deal? Your wife—"

His gaze fell towards the doorway, and his words abruptly ceased.

Soon, the woman sitting next to Jiang Muchen also saw Tang Xu, her eyes widening in shock. She then clung to Jiang Muchen's arm, trying to warn him—

"Get out!" Jiang Muchen abruptly pulled his hand back, and in the instant he looked up, he saw Tang Xu.

The once lively private room suddenly fell silent. A couple who had been singing together stopped, leaving only the music playing.

Tang Xu bypassed the men and women watching the show and walked up to Jiang Muchen. "You had a car accident in the morning, but you still went out to have fun in the evening. You truly live up to your reputation as Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Muchen stared at her quietly for a moment, then reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of him. He slowly finished the wine in the glass, then suddenly raised his hand and smashed the glass to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

Then he stood up and looked at Tang Xu, "Tang Xu, I've been tolerant of you enough. I'm reminding you, don't push your luck."
