Marriage Seduction Addiction

Perhaps because Tang Xu stated the objective so clearly, Yan Shiyu didn't say anything more.

When they returned to the hotel, they learned that Ji Yan had gone out and was not at the hotel.

Both of them cared about Ji Yan, but they didn't want to push her too hard, so they didn't rush out to look for her and instead went back to their hotel room first.

When Tang Xu finished showering and came out of the bathroom, she saw Yan Shiyu sitting by the French windows, looking at the night view outside the window in a daze.

Tang Xu paused for a moment, then slowly walked forward and sat down beside him.

Yan Shiyu turned around and gently took her hand.

Tang Xu most likely knows what he's thinking.

It was only at this point that she realized how difficult it would be to achieve the goal she had just set in the short term.

Everyone has their own convictions and obsessions. Those things that have been weighing on your heart for years will never be easily changed by a single event or word.

Moreover, they are siblings, sharing the same blood, and are likely to have the same stubborn streak flowing through their veins.

If he is so stubborn, how much more so Ji Yan?

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "I was a bit too absolute just now. Like you said, she's a free adult, and she can make her own choices. But before she makes a choice, you have to let her know how much you love her. Once you tell her that, whatever she chooses is her business, and it's not up to us to decide."

After a long while, Yan Shiyu slowly raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Just like you did to me?"

Tang Xu choked for a moment before realizing that it seemed to be true.

At that time, she only dared to express her love to him simply, and then she let him choose what he wanted to do.

Tang Xu looked up at him and said, "It still worked, didn't it?"

No matter how slim the chance was, it still played its most important role in the end.

Even if it's just for a moment, it's enough.

Yan Shiyu lowered her eyes before saying, "She is not me."

“But she also needs love, lots and lots of love,” Tang Xu said. “These are things you should have given her in the first place, things you owe her. Since you’ve decided to come back and face all of this, it’s better to pay them all back, isn’t it?”

After listening, Yan Shiyu remained silent for a moment before slowly nodding and replying, "Yes."

……

Jiang Muchen received the news about Yan Shiyu while meeting with Ji Yan.

Tang Xu disappeared for three days without a trace, but when she reappeared, a lot of news naturally came out.

Including the whereabouts of Yan Shiyu.

Upon learning that Yan Shiyu and Tang Xu had appeared at the same time and checked into the hotel together, Jiang Muchen suddenly gripped his phone tightly and looked up at Ji Yan sitting by the window.

He has never really liked staying in hotels, so even in an unfamiliar city, he still chose to stay in an apartment that offered more privacy.

There was naturally a purpose to bringing Ji Yan over.

He just didn't expect that Ji Yan would actually come.

He was always aloof and taciturn. Even after picking up Ji Yan and exchanging a few words with her, he rarely spoke to her again after seeing her indifferent attitude.

However, judging from the current situation, this is probably the most effective way to restrain Yan Shiyu, so he has not given up.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yan came again. It was only this time that Jiang Muchen realized that she wasn't really there to hear what he had to say, but rather to avoid Lu Xingyan.

So when she arrived, she didn't say much to him, but just sat by the window playing with her phone, like she was invisible.

This had no impact on Jiang Muchen.

Whatever the purpose, as long as she stays with him, any news that gets out will benefit him.

Especially now... Yan Shiyu has appeared.

If he finds out that his beloved younger sister has come to his place, I wonder how angry he will be.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Muchen finally got up, left the study, went to the living room, sat on the sofa, and lit a cigarette for himself.

Ji Yan clearly disliked the smell of smoke. She glanced at him but didn't say anything, continuing to look at her phone.

After a puff of smoke filled his lungs, Jiang Muchen finally spoke: "What are your plans next?"

Ji Yan turned to look at him, as if she had seen a ghost, and only asked one question: "Would you care what my plans are?"

"Why not?" Jiang Muchen turned to look at her. "Don't forget, you're the daughter my father desperately wanted to acknowledge. You're practically my sister, shouldn't I care about you?"

"What you're more concerned about is how to use me to disgust Yan Shiyu, right?" Ji Yan bluntly pointed out the key issue.

Jiang Muchen slowly leaned back into the sofa and chuckled, "Since you knew that, why did you still come? Could it be that you also want to disgust him?"

Ji Yan did not deny it upon hearing this.

"Why?" Jiang Muchen seemed genuinely curious and pressed on, "Is there some insurmountable obstacle between you siblings?"

Ji Yan didn't answer, but asked instead, "Didn't you always hate him to the bone? How come you don't care about these things about him?"

Jiang Muchen sneered, his gaze sweeping across her face. "You really are a difficult person to get along with. No wonder—Yan Shiyu appeared, did you know that?"

Ji Yan slowly turned her eyes to look at him.

"They didn't tell you, did they?" Jiang Muchen said. "Why? Because no one dared to tell you? Why wouldn't they dare to tell you even this kind of news? Have you thought about the reasons behind it?"

After a long while, Ji Yan slowly spoke up: "Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed—I already knew about this news."

Jiang Muchen's expression changed slightly, then he chuckled, "You know? You really know? Who would tell you this—"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something, and his expression changed almost imperceptibly.

However, Ji Yan still noticed the subtle change in his expression, tilted her head slightly, and said, "I'm afraid the answer will not make you very happy, Mr. Jiang—is it strange that your ex-wife told me this?"

Jiang Muchen's eyes darkened uncontrollably.

Yes, not surprising.

No matter how bad the relationship between Tang Xu and Ji Yan becomes, she will handle these problems well.

Finding Yan Shiyu is such a big deal. Even if Yan Shiyu is unmoved, she will definitely not let Ji Yan be kept in the dark and know nothing.

So the reason Ji Yan stayed with him these past two days was not only to avoid Lu Xingyan, but also to wait for Yan Shiyu to appear.

Seeing that he seemed to have figured something out, Ji Yan tilted her head slightly and looked at him, saying, "To answer your question, the reason I can't get over the hurdle between him is because—actually, I'm quite good at being disgusting. What do you think?"

After a deathly silence, Jiang Muchen suddenly chuckled and said, "So, you still dare to come here—aren't you afraid? After all, right now, you're completely under my control?"

"This isn't Huai City," Ji Yan said calmly. "If you really think you can control me, then go ahead and do it." (End of Chapter)
