Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 11 What if I put my heart into it?
As a temporary addition, Tang Xu's seating arrangement between the three was rather abrupt.

They drank and chatted, discussing economic trends and stock market conditions, while she sat beside them, drinking juice.

But since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it, and Tang Xu acted calmly.

Since Wu Yu is using her as a stepping stone, she can also achieve her own goals in a logical way.

At the dinner table, Wu Yu took the lead and created a very lively atmosphere. Even though the two gentlemen were not talkative, they chatted with him quite a bit.

Tang Xu sat there drinking juice for half a day, finally finding an opportunity for Wu Yu to catch his breath, and brought up the matter of restarting the project.

Wu Yu just slapped his thigh and laughed, "These are all minor issues. It's rare for everyone to sit together, let's talk about these things later..."

“Uncle Wu, of course you’re not in a hurry,” Tang Xu said. “But you’re a very busy man, and it’s a rare opportunity for me to see you today, so of course I have to seize it. Mr. Fu and Mr. Yan shouldn’t mind, right?”

Using Wu Yu's words, she successfully brought Yan Shiyu and Fu Jiali to the forefront once again.

If the two people don't give her face, there's nothing she can do.

But only she knew that her expectations far outweighed her anxieties about gambling.

Even though she was blatantly taking advantage of him, she still felt... there wouldn't be any problems.

Tang Xu looked at Yan Shiyu once again.

Although Tang Xu also mentioned Fu Jiali, she was on the surface closer to Yan Shiyu, so Fu Jiali naturally wouldn't say anything first.

Across half the table, Yan Shiyu's gaze fell quietly on Tang Xu's face, and she slowly uttered two words: "It's alright."

This was the answer Tang Xu had been hoping for, but the moment she met his dark eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

Saying "it's alright" is tantamount to condoning.

Even if you know you're being used, it doesn't matter.

What's up with this?

Tang Xu didn't think too much about it and quickly composed himself, looking at Wu Yu. "To show my sincerity, I have prepared a supplementary contract and am willing to give the Wu family a 30% discount. Uncle Wu, please take a look at the contract first."

As Tang Xu spoke, he had Cheng Jin, who was waiting outside, bring in the contract.

"You, you've really prepared everything!" In front of everyone, Wu Yu chuckled as he accepted the contract.

However, the moment he opened the contract, he frowned. "Oh dear, look at me, I forgot to wear my glasses, and I drank too much earlier. This contract is really hard to read, and I won't be able to finish it in a short time... Here's what I'll do: I'll take it back. If there are no problems, you can come to my company tomorrow, and we'll sign and stamp it."

Having said that, Tang Xu had no choice but to say, "Then I'll wait for Uncle Wu's good news."

Wu Yu chuckled, then suddenly remembered something. "Tang Xu, haven't you offered Mr. Yan a toast yet? Even though you can't drink, you still have to show your appreciation!"

There's no escaping it after all.

Tang Xuyi picked up the juice in front of her, stood up and walked to Yan Shiyu's side, "Mr. Yan, I'd like to toast you..."

Before Yan Shiyu could answer, Wu Yu started shouting, "Why are you still calling me Mr. Yan? That's too formal! Although Mr. Yan is young, you should be calling me 'Third Uncle'!"

Tang Xu was reminded once again to call him "Third Uncle". This time, the private room did not fall silent. Instead, Fu Jiali chuckled softly.

"Mr. Wu is really persistent!" Fu Jiali said with a smile.

Wu Yu also laughed, "Isn't this just proper etiquette? Tang Xu is young, so as an elder, I naturally have to teach her."

Amidst the laughter, Yan Shiyu picked up the wine glass in front of him, calmly touched the juice in Tang Xu's hand, and took a sip.

Beneath the crystal-clear glass, the man's jawline is smooth, and his prominent Adam's apple bobbes, sharp and sexy.

Tang Xu was momentarily lost in thought.

Tang Xu only looked away when he put down his wine glass and looked up at her. She took a sip of the juice in her glass, then turned and toasted Fu Jiali again.

In the end, no one heard Tang Xu call out "Third Uncle".

……

The meal didn't last very long.

Before the end, Fu Jiali and Yan Shiyu whispered something to each other. Tang Xu guessed that they would move on to another location, so he took the time to talk to Wu Yu about the project.

Wu Yu was already quite drunk, and he confidently assured Tang Xu that she would come to his company tomorrow.

After the dinner ended, Tang Xu saw Wu Yu off to his car at the lobby entrance. Despite his assurances, she couldn't help but feel worried. She heard footsteps behind her and turned to see Yan Shiyu being escorted out by club staff.

Surrounded by stars.

But the moon is simply too prominent.

It is said that female beauty is alluring, but male beauty is no less so.

Tang Xu turned her head, just as Wu Yu's car drove away.

Yan Shiyu walked to her side, his gaze also falling on the car that had just driven away.

Tang Xu composed herself and was about to thank him again when she suddenly heard the man's deep, soft voice—

Don't waste your energy on people who are not worth your time.

Tang Xu paused and fell silent.

She could almost hear the beating in her chest, one beat after another, an extremely turbulent rhythm.

Tang Xu gently rubbed her fingers under her sleeve, slowly restoring feeling to her stiff and cold fingers, before turning to look at him and smiling as she asked, "Then who is the one who matters? You?"

She smiled brightly and playfully, trying to make it sound joking but sending chills down your spine: "What if I put my hands on you?"

Once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.

Although Yan Shiyu had just returned to Huai City, everyone who had come into contact with him in that short time had spoken highly of him.

A gentleman is upright, gentle, and composed.

She said something to this gentleman that was almost vulgar.

She thought she seemed to have crossed a line.

Tang Xu withdrew her gaze, only to smell the calm and tranquil fragrance of cedar.

However, the next moment, she heard Yan Shiyu say—

"Then you should give it a try."

In that instant, Tang Xu felt that she must have misheard.

She turned to look at him again.

Yan Shiyu's dark eyes were deep and calm, yet when Yan looked at her, he met her gaze with composure.

The surprise and curiosity in her eyes were undisguised.

Yan Shiyu withdrew his gaze, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, his voice deep and resonant: "It was just a joke, don't take it to heart."

Tang Xu gently bit her lip.

As they spoke, the black phantom slowly drove up to the two of them. The driver got out of the car, smiled and nodded at Tang Xu, and then walked to the car door to wait for Yan Shiyu to get in.

Tang Xu recognized him as the one who had given her an umbrella and a coat at "Wangshan" last time.

It probably started when she lit that cigarette in the "Looking at the Mountain" private room that a vague and ambiguous relationship developed between her and Yan Shiyu.

After all, it was she who tried to please him from the very beginning.

Even if it's just a cigarette.

But this lingering ambiguity should have vanished the night he learned his true identity.

She was a married woman, and he was a distant relative of her husband.

We both knew about our previous interactions, so we just pretended nothing had happened.

The so-called avoidance of suspicion.

But if the intention was to avoid suspicion, then who was it that untied her skirt that night at the hotel?
Just as Yan Shiyu was about to get into the car, Tang Xu called out to him, "Mr. Yan!"

Let's give it a try!
