Marriage Seduction Addiction

Is the person lurking in the shadows in Chapter 89 Yan Shiyu?

He clearly said he would wait for her to come back, but he left without saying a word. This is not like Yan Shiyu's style.

Tang Xu sat down on the sofa, took out her phone, and made a call to him.

The call went through, but no one answered.

Tang Xu frowned slightly, then sent him a message—

"Have you returned?"

The message was sent, but there was no reply for a long time.

Tang Xu had other things on her mind and didn't have the energy to keep watching. She quickly exited the interface, thought for a moment, and then called Qin Yun.

Qin Yun answered the phone quickly, "What is it?"

"Auntie, shall we have breakfast together tomorrow morning?" Tang Xu asked her. "Let's bring Yu Qiao along, I have something I want to tell you."

Qin Yun didn't ask any further questions and agreed immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xu sat there in a daze for a while. Just as she was about to get up to take a shower, her phone suddenly rang.

She assumed it was Yan Shiyu calling, but when she looked down, she saw Gao Yan's name.

"Is Mr. Yan with you?" Gao Yan asked her directly. "Could he answer the phone? There's some urgent business to attend to."

"Huh?" Tang Xu was taken aback. "You can't contact him either?"

Gao Yan asked in confusion, "Also? Didn't he go to your place?"

“I went out for a while, and when I came back he was gone. He didn’t answer my phone, and he didn’t reply to my messages.”

Gao Yan couldn't help but say, "That's strange... Where could he have gone? We can't even get in touch with him..."

Tang Xu's heart suddenly skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and she said, "I hope nothing bad has happened."

"Probably not..." Gao Yan said hesitantly, "I'll go to Qiushuitai to check later."

Upon hearing him say "in a moment," Tang Xu immediately replied, "I'll be right there now."

“That works too,” Gao Yan said.

Tang Xu then went out again.

After arriving at Qiushuitai by taxi, Tang Xu quickly went upstairs and strode into the room.

Yan Shiyu's suit jacket was tossed on the sofa, and his phone was placed on the coffee table next to it.

Tang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, then reached for the coat and looked around.

He would never leave his clothes lying around like that.

What's going on here?
Tang Xu didn't see anyone, so she walked towards the bedroom and study.

There was no one in either place.

The gym was also empty.

Tang Xu stood in the living room, holding his coat, somewhat bewildered, her heart filled with questions.

How come the clothes and phone are still there, but the person is not?
Coming to her senses, Tang Xu turned to check the two empty rooms again, but they were still empty.

Finally, her gaze fell on the previously locked, tightly closed door.

Tang Xu slowly walked to the door of that room, tried to knock on the door, and then put her ear to the door.

I can't hear any sound at all.

Tang Xu tried turning the doorknob again.

It's still locked.

Now she was completely confused and couldn't help but go back to the living room to call Gao Yan.

The call had just connected when Tang Xu was about to say something when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening behind her.

She suddenly turned around and saw Yan Shiyu walking out of that locked, mysterious room.

He was still wearing dress pants and a shirt, and it seemed that as soon as he entered the room, he took off his coat and went straight to that room, where he has been staying ever since.

So they don't answer the phone or reply to messages.

Tang Xu's gaze fell on his face, meeting his deep eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

There was something in his eyes that she couldn't understand.

She was stunned for a moment until Gao Yan called her repeatedly on the other end of the phone, which brought her back to her senses.

"It's alright," Tang Xu said. "I saw him; he's at home. I'll have him call you." With that, Tang Xu hung up the phone and quickly walked towards him.

The moment she approached, Yan Shiyu reached out and closed the door behind him.

Tang Xu stood in front of him, looked up and met his gaze, clearly seeing the undercurrent in his eyes and the roots of his hair that were faintly damp.

Tang Xu reached out and touched his forehead. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yan Shiyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand down.

He seemed to have lost control of his strength, and Tang Xu clearly felt the pain in her wrist, and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Yan Shiyu paused slightly, and finally loosened his grip.

Tang Xu quickly withdrew her hand, just looking at him, "You didn't answer the phone, Gao Yan said he needed to talk to you..."

"Hmm," Yan Shiyu finally responded faintly.

Tang Xu's gaze went over his shoulder and landed on the door behind him.

"What's this room for?" she couldn't help but ask. "What are you doing in there?"

Yan Shiyu did not answer, nor did he make any other move.

This means I don't want to tell her the answer.

Tang Xu pursed her lips, didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked back to the living room, where she sat down on the sofa.

Then Yan Shiyu stepped forward, took his phone, glanced at the screen, and quickly called Gao Yan back.

Tang Xu sat right next to him, but he didn't even glance at her.

After the call connected, he quickly went into the study.

Tang Xu was completely taken aback.

I felt he was acting strangely tonight.

She couldn't help but look again at the room at the end of the corridor.

Was it because of that room? Or something else?
She sat on the sofa for a long time without moving, her mind filled with a jumble of thoughts.

The conversation continued until Yan Shiyu finished speaking in the study.

Tang Xu thought he would come out after making the call, but she sat and waited for a long time, and Yan Shiyu still did not appear.

Tang Xu finally couldn't help but stand up and walk to the door of the study.

Only a desk lamp was on in the study. Behind the desk, in the shadows where the light couldn't reach, Yan Shiyu sat quietly in her chair, motionless.

There was no movement, and no expression could be seen.

If Tang Xu hadn't seen him come in with his own eyes earlier, for a moment, he wouldn't have been sure if the person sitting in the study was really him.

Tang Xu couldn't help but reach out and touch the wall next to her. "What are you doing?"

Yan Shiyu remained motionless.

But Tang Xu felt that he was watching her.

With his eyes hidden in the shadows.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable.

"Come here." After a long while, Yan Shiyu finally spoke.

His voice was very low, much deeper than his usual tone.

After a moment of silence, Tang Xu pursed her lips and said, "No."

Upon hearing this answer, Yan Shiyu remained unmoved.

Tang Xu remained standing at the door, staring at him sitting in the shadows. "I don't like the study. Come out yourself."

After a long while, Yan Shiyu finally moved.

He got up and came out.

It wasn't until the corridor lights clearly illuminated his face that Tang Xu seemed to finally realize that the person in front of him was him.

Even though there was still a darkness in his eyes that she couldn't discern.

At that moment, Tang Xu couldn't help but reach out his hand.

She hugged him.
