Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 468 If he's willing, I'll give it to him.

The sarcasm in Jiang Muchen's tone was all too obvious.

Jiang Muchen hadn't spoken to her in such a tone for a long time, so much so that when Tang Xu heard it, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if from another world.

But in the end, they are still different.

In the past, when she heard Jiang Muchen speak in such a tone, even if she remained unmoved on the surface, she would still feel a surge of anger inside and would retort.

But at this moment, she was truly at peace, and even accepted his emotions.

How could I not be angry?

Even though the whole world knows that he and Jiang Beiheng have a bad relationship, Jiang Beiheng only has one son. No matter how rebellious or disobedient he is, he is still Jiang Beiheng's beloved son.

Whatever the emotion, it should always receive a response.

Now that Jiang Beiheng has encountered this turmoil, Jiang Muchen's attitude has already explained everything—the bond between father and son, no matter how many disagreements and frictions there are, can never be erased.

He was always concerned about Jiang Beiheng, both before and now.

That's why he was so eager to find Yan Shiyu, and that's why he spoke to her with such vehement anger.

This is the response Jiangbei Heng deserves.

She deserves it.

In comparison, she really has no conscience.

Tang Xu never hid her emotions from Jiang Muchen, and this time was no exception.

Her eyes, red from crying, were still clear and without a trace of impurity. She stared straight into Jiang Muchen's eyes, making Jiang Muchen pause in surprise.

Soon, Tang Xu bent down and got out of the car under Jiang Muchen's gaze.

Jiang Muchen assumed she was going upstairs with him, glanced at her, and then turned and walked into the building first.

However, after taking a few steps, he realized that Tang Xu had not followed. He suddenly stopped and turned around, only to see that Tang Xu was still standing next to the car, looking up at the unfamiliar building in front of him.

After a long while, she looked away and then looked at Jiang Muchen again, slowly saying, "Please tell him I'm sorry for me."

Jiang Muchen's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and strode back to her. "You don't want to go up?"

"Hmm," Tang Xu replied, "I don't want to go up."

We can't go up there either.

Jiang Muchen's cold gaze lingered on her face for a moment. "Even if he were up there right now, waiting for you and wanting to see you, you wouldn't go up?"

"Yes, I'm not going up."

Jiang Muchen finally couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, and then said, "Tang Xu, how come I never saw through you before? You could actually do such a ruthless and decisive thing?"

Tang Xu doesn't seem to intend to respond to such accusations, and instead turns to go in the opposite direction.

However, the next moment, Jiang Muchen suddenly reached out and grabbed her, then said, word by word, "Even if he knows Yan Shiyu's whereabouts, you don't plan to go up there?"

Tang Xu paused slightly.

Jiang Muchen's anger grew even stronger. "I knew it—Tang Xu, isn't this why you came here? Now that you're here, what's with the pretense? Go up and ask him! Ask him how your beloved man tortured him, how he released him, and where he is now... Don't you care about any of that?" Tang Xu looked up at him again.

Yes, he never said that this was the reason she agreed to come to Los Angeles with Duan Siwei.

She had clearly said she would wait for him in their new home, but when she learned he might be in Los Angeles, she almost immediately wavered.

She desperately wanted to know about Yan Shiyu, what his current situation was, and what his next move would be.

Therefore, she should have shamelessly gone up to Jiang Beiheng and asked him in detail what had happened, and then deduced everything about Yan Shiyu's current situation from his few words.

However, a moment later, Tang Xu slowly but resolutely broke free from Jiang Muchen's grasp.

"Hmm, I don't want to know anymore."

Jiang Muchen was clearly surprised by her answer. After a moment of stunned silence, he subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, I don't want to know anymore." Tang Xu repeated her answer word by word, then looked away and turned to leave again.

At this moment, Tang Xu's answer was clearly no longer enough for Jiang Muchen.

Jiang Muchen reached out again and gripped her wrist tightly, almost sneer as he questioned, "How could you not want to know? Don't you love him very much? Don't you love him so much that you'd disregard everything, even pretend to have amnesia for him? If you love him to this extent, what are you pretending for now? Who are you pretending for? Yan Shiyu? Are you sure he can still see this?"

Upon hearing Jiang Muchen's last words, Tang Xu's gaze flickered for a moment, but then returned to calm.

"If he wants to watch it, I'll let him. If he doesn't want to watch it, I won't force him."

Jiang Muchen's expression changed drastically once again.

At this point, he finally understood the meaning behind Tang Xu's words—

No matter where Yan Shiyu is at this moment, no matter what choices or decisions he makes, she will respect him.

Jiang Muchen himself could not see what kind of anger was burning in his eyes at this moment, nor could he see the despair and desolation behind that anger—a barren wasteland.

The next moment, seeing that Jiang Muchen's expression was getting worse, Lu Xingyan strode forward, pulled Jiang Muchen's hand away, and shielded Tang Xu behind her. "Mr. Jiang, if you don't want to talk about some things, that's fine. There's no need to make things difficult for Tang Xu here. She doesn't know anything about this matter."

After a long while, Jiang Muchen glanced at Lu Xingyan before returning his gaze to Tang Xu, and sneered again: "Look, these are the people you think are good to you, these are the people you are willing to protect... Tang Xu, I hope you will never regret this one day."

After saying this, Jiang Muchen kept his eyes fixed on Tang Xu, took two steps back, and finally turned around and strode into the hospital building without looking back.

Lu Xingyan then turned to Tang Xu and said to her, "Jiang Beiheng is still resting, and with Jiang Muchen's obstruction, I can't see him for the time being. But don't worry, we'll find an opportunity eventually. With the people I sent out and Duan Siwei and the others, we'll definitely find news about him."

Tang Xu seemed not to have heard him. After a moment of distraction, she suddenly looked at the car behind them and asked, "Did you tell her everything?"

Lu Xingyan fell silent for a moment before finally nodding.

"It must be very painful to receive so much information all at once," Tang Xu said in a low voice. "Give her some time."

Lu Xingyan paused for two seconds before asking, "And what about you?"

"What else can I do besides wait?" Tang Xu turned her face away, and after a long silence, she suddenly spoke again, "Do you remember the place where we went hiking together when I came here that year?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingyan's expression changed instantly. He grabbed her hand and said, "I know you're in pain and very sad right now, but you can't do anything reckless. That year, it was already spring, and you still went through a near-death experience to come back. It's still the dead of winter now. You can't go to those places. Do you understand?"

"Oh," Tang Xu replied.
