Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 99 If it weren't for Tang Xu
Tang Xu sent the message but received no reply for a long time.

She stared at the time on her phone, looking at it again and again.

Twelve o'clock at midnight.

At this time, according to his schedule, it's normal that he hasn't slept.

However, if he has other things to do, then it's hard to say.

She stared blankly for a while, then suddenly turned her head and glanced in the direction of the elevator.

She had a bold plan in her mind.

Thinking this, Tang Xu stood up and headed straight for the elevator.

She left the hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Tang Xu first went back to Yujing Bay to get the Qiushuitai card, and then headed straight for Qiushuitai.

It was nearly 1 a.m. when we arrived at Qiushuitai.

There was still no reply from Yan Shiyu on her phone.

Tang Xu went upstairs and entered the room by herself.

The room was empty and quiet; there was no one there.

Yan Shiyu was not present.

It's already this late, is he still working overtime at the company?
Tang Xu sat down on the sofa.

For a moment, she was unsure of her own emotions.

What are your feelings about coming here so eagerly?
What are your feelings when you find he's not there?
Tang Xu nestled on the sofa, waiting for a long time and thinking for a long time.

She thought that perhaps she was just not used to it.

After all, he was the person she was closest to during this period.

In addition, he made a special trip to see her when she had an accident in Jiangcheng last time, so this time, even though they lived in the same city, he didn't see her once, or even hear a single word from her.

That's why she's not used to it.

That's why I wanted to see him.

I can't sleep in the hospital anyway.

After finding the answer, Tang Xu quietly curled up on his sofa and continued to wait.

However, an hour passed, then two hours, and Yan Shiyu still hadn't returned...

……

At the same time, Duan Siwei's car sped along in the early morning, arriving in the suburbs.

At the foot of Songshan Mountain, the Yan family's villa stands by the roadside, with light shining through its windows.

Duan Siwei parked his car and went up to bang on the door.

The door opened quickly, and Gao Yan's face appeared behind it.

"Mr. Duan." Gao Yan's expression wasn't good; he looked as if he had just woken up from a nap, still appearing tired. "You've arrived."

"There was no signal at sea. We only saw the message after disembarking in Jinshi." Duan Siwei frowned and started looking for him as soon as he entered the room. "Where is he?"

Gao Yan closed the door, glanced at the window, and replied, "We've gone into the mountains."

"What are you going into the mountains for at this time?" Duan Siwei asked in surprise.

“He went there the night before last.” Gao Yan’s tone was full of frustration. “I only found out yesterday during the day, so I could only come here to wait for him…”

Duan Siwei, equally worried, asked, "Has he really fallen ill again?"

Gao Yan recalled the sight of Yan Shiyu trying her best to control herself and slowly nodded.

"How could this happen?" Duan Siwei said. "After being abroad for so long and suffering so much, wasn't it under good control? How could it relapse so easily?"

Gao Yan sat down on the sofa and rubbed his face vigorously. "I don't know... Maybe it's because Miss Tang was in trouble, he was too worried and couldn't control his emotions—"

Duan Siwei lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and took two drags with a furrowed brow before looking at Gao Yan again. "It can't be that bad, can it? Tang Xu hasn't really been in any real trouble..." "But besides that, I really can't think of any other reason," Gao Yan said. "Perhaps, Miss Tang really does have that much influence?"

Duan Siwei finished the cigarette without saying a word, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and then spoke in a hoarse voice: "Then I should regret it—I shouldn't have pushed Tang Xu to light that cigarette for him in the first place."

Gao Yan was not clear about what he was referring to, and after a pause, he said, "But he was really happy when he was with Miss Tang. I can't even imagine what his life would be like now if it weren't for Miss Tang."

“If it weren’t for Tang Xu, he wouldn’t have developed this illness now,” Duan Siwei said.

Gao Yan listened and fell silent for a moment, unsure how to respond.

Duan Siwei lit another cigarette, took two deep drags, and then said, "But I always feel that if it's just because of Tang Xu, it shouldn't be that serious... Could it be because of Jiang Muchen and the Jiang family?"

“Jiang Muchen was indeed present at the time.” Gao Yan paused before saying, “So, it’s not impossible.”

After they finished speaking, they both fell silent.

Duan Siwei finished another cigarette before getting up and walking to the window to look in the direction of Songshan.

What's in the mountains? Why was he able to stay there for so long?

“He has his own way of coping,” Gao Yan said. “At times like this, there’s nothing we can do to help him.”

"But isn't the Yan family's shareholders' meeting tomorrow? What will happen if he doesn't show up?"

"Then it will be very difficult to explain to the old man." Gao Yan also looked in that direction, his eyes full of worry.

……

As dawn approached, Tang Xu returned to the hospital.

As soon as I opened the door to the ward, I ran into the caregiver who was rushing around.

"Oh dear, Miss Tang, where have you been?" the caregiver exclaimed. "I opened my eyes and you were nowhere to be found! I was terrified!"

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk," Tang Xu said, taking off the clothes she was wearing and returning to her hospital bed.

"You're a patient, how can you run around like this? You need to rest properly..."

Listening to the caregiver's nagging and watching the sky gradually brighten outside, Tang Xu slowly closed her eyes.

……

On the suburban highway, Duan Siwei's car sped along the road back to the city.

In the back seat of the car, Yan Shiyu leaned back with her eyes closed, her body disheveled, her dry lips tightly pressed together, and her fingers and arms, exposed by her rolled-up sleeves, were covered in scars.

Gao Yan was skillfully inserting the IV needle into his skin to deliver glucose to him.

Duan Siwei watched this scene in the rearview mirror, his brows furrowed the entire time.

The car was completely silent; no one spoke.

As the car drove onto the Fourth Ring Road, Yan Shiyu slowly opened her eyes in the back seat.

Gao Yan immediately handed him an energy drink.

Yan Shiyu didn't take it. He looked down and saw the needle stuck in his body, so he pulled it out.

Gao Yan wanted to say something, but there was nothing he could do. He could only reach out and take it, tidy it up, and put it in the bag.

"There's a meeting at nine o'clock, so time is a bit tight. There's no time to go back to Qiushuitai. Just go to a hotel near the company to shower and change. You should be able to make it." Gao Yan looked down and saw his hands. He said, "The clothes can cover the wound on your arm, but you need to be careful with the wound on your hand. Don't let them see it."

Yan Shiyu lowered her eyes and slowly lowered her sleeves.

Gao Yan then handed over his phone.

Yan Shiyu reached out and took it. As soon as he opened it, he saw the message that popped up on the desktop.

From Tangxu.

He stared at the message quietly for a long time, then suddenly reached out to Gao Yan, "Water."

Gao Yan quickly handed over the water.

After gulping down several mouthfuls of water, Yan Shiyu dialed Tang Xu's number—
