Marriage Seduction Addiction

Even though they were busy moving, Lu Xingyan still delivered a bunch of food upstairs on time that evening.

The moment Ji Yan saw him, she was clearly stunned. Perhaps because she didn't want to ask him directly, she could only pull Tang Xudao aside and whisper, "You've already been discharged from the hospital, why do you still need him to bring food up?"

Tang Xu scratched his head and said, "Because I'm actually not very good at cooking. Although your brother learned for a while, he doesn't have time to cook every day, right? Luckily, Lu Xingyan lives next door, so we feel at ease leaving it to him. Didn't you say that the food he prepares is delicious?"

“That’s true…” Ji Yan pursed her lips slightly and said, “I always feel like I’m troubling him too much.”

"It's no trouble at all," Tang Xu said. "Just treat it as his job and responsibility, something he should do. What's the trouble?"

Ji Yan was silent for a moment, as if she had just realized something, and asked, "You just said that he lives next door?"

“Yes.” Tang Xu said to her as he took out the bowls and chopsticks, “So if we’re not home in the future, you can just knock on his door if you need anything.”

After hearing this, Ji Yan didn't say anything more for a moment, and turned back to the dining table.

Lu Xingyan was setting the food she had brought onto the table when she looked up and met Ji Yan's gaze. Her eyes paused slightly, and before she could react, she heard Ji Yan say, "Thank you so much for going to such lengths to prepare this food every day."

She would occasionally thank him when they were in the hospital, but her thanks were always stiff and formulaic, just superficial politeness.

But today, perhaps because she was back at home, Lu Xingyan felt that her tone of voice seemed much softer, quite different from before.

His mood instantly brightened. "I'm just a porter. If there's anything you want to eat, just tell me and I'll tell them to prepare it."

“This is already very good,” Ji Yan said. “Besides, it’s too much. You really don’t need to prepare so much. It’ll be a waste if we can’t finish it.”

Tang Xu happened to walk over and, upon hearing this, readily agreed, "Then let's sit down and eat together. It's better to finish everything so as not to waste food!"

Lu Xingyan immediately looked at Ji Yan, but saw that Ji Yan only smiled slightly and did not have any other significant reaction.

His heart started pounding uncontrollably, but he could only force himself to remain calm and composed, nodding slightly in response, "Okay."

In the past, Tang Xu would probably have kicked him if she saw him like this, but now she was just as happy and didn't bother to care about his pretense.

It was a rare meal, with the four of us eating together at the same table.

Ji Yan's hand was still not working properly, so Tang Xu took over the task of feeding her from Yan Shiyu as usual.

Although this wasn't the first time Lu Xingyan had witnessed such a scene, leaving the cold and rigid environment of the hospital and seeing Tang Xu bring food to Ji Yan's lips in this home, and Ji Yan naturally opening her mouth to eat it, made her feel, for a moment, as if she had returned to her teenage years.

It was as if she had always been there, and her relationship with Tang Xu had always been just as good, while between her and him, there was only that unspoken understanding that remained unspoken...

Everything is ultimately moving in a positive direction.

……

Because she wanted to move in as soon as possible, Lu Xingyan didn't linger for this brief moment and left not long after dinner.

After Tang Xu helped Ji Yan clean up and wash, they picked out a movie and sat on the sofa to watch it together.

Yan Shiyu was busy in his study for more than an hour. When he finally came out of the study, the movie had just ended.

As soon as he came out, Ji Yan yawned.

"Tired?" Yan Shiyu glanced at her. "Go to sleep early."

"Okay." Ji Yan nodded in response and quickly got up and returned to her secondary bedroom.

As she stood up, Tang Xu quickly stood up as well, exchanged a glance with Yan Shiyu, and then said, "I'm sleepy too, I'm going to sleep now. You should go to sleep early too, don't stay up too late. Good night!"

She then went back to her room.

Yan Shiyu stood there, looking at the empty living room and sofa, and remained silent for a moment before finally turning around and walking towards the master bedroom.

But when he put his hand on the doorknob, he was surprised to find that Tang Xu had locked the door!

This shows they're determined to keep him away.

Yan Shiyu stood at the door for a moment, still pondering a solution, when a slight noise suddenly came from behind the door.

Then, the door opened.

Tang Xu stood behind the door, cautiously peering outside. She was probably surprised to see him still standing at the door, and froze for a moment before recovering, opening the door, and reaching out to hug him.

"I'll have to put up with this for a while!" Tang Xu looked up at him. "Once she's really settled in, we can go back to normal, okay? Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, she'll be embarrassed, and we'll be embarrassed too, won't we?"

Yan Shiyu quietly looked down at her, and after a long while, he finally reached out and stroked the back of her head, whispering, "Go to sleep."

Tang Xu then smiled again, gently tiptoed and kissed him on the lips, then whispered "Goodnight" in his ear. She glanced to the side before carefully retreating back into the room and quietly closing the door.

This time, however, she didn't lock the door.

Yan Shiyu heard it clearly, but in the end, he could only return to his study.

……

The night passed peacefully without any unexpected incidents.

Despite having rested all night, Tang Xu looked rather unwell. As soon as she woke up, she made coffee with two dark circles under her eyes.

Yan Shiyu got up earlier than her and went out for a while. When she came back in, she saw Tang Xu holding a cup of coffee.

Yan Shiyu frowned. "Why are you drinking coffee as soon as you get up? Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"

"It won't hurt if you add milk." Tang Xu handed him the cup in her hand.

Yan Shiyu glanced at her face and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"

"It's great!" Tang Xu asked. "How about you?"

Yan Shiyu looked at her and answered truthfully, "Not really."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu puffed out her cheeks and then held her cup to his lips.

Yan Shiyu doesn't usually drink milk coffee, but since she offered it to him, he naturally took a sip.

Tang Xu was slightly surprised, but when she came to her senses, she couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Just then, the sound of the door opening came from the second bedroom.

As if receiving some command, Tang Xu immediately put away her cup and distanced herself from Yan Shiyu. When she turned her head, the ends of her hair swept mercilessly across Yan Shiyu's face, but she didn't notice at all. She just looked at Ji Yan, who had just come out of the second bedroom, and said, "Good morning!"

"Good morning." Ji Yan looked at the two people standing in the living room, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "You two are up so early."

"I just got up too." Tang Xu took two steps forward. "How did you sleep last night? Was the pillow and blanket comfortable?"

“That’s great,” Ji Yan replied. “I fell asleep instantly and didn’t wake up at all. I slept so soundly.”

Hearing her answer, Yan Shiyu raised an eyebrow slightly but didn't say anything more.

Tang Xu didn't notice anything, and simply said, "That's good. You must tell me if you have any requests. In your own home, do whatever you want, and don't compromise!"

Ji Yan smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Okay."

Lu Xingyan brought breakfast today as usual, and along with the breakfast came the news that he had moved next door.

Of course, this news was only revealed to Tang Xu privately.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yan asked at the dinner table, "I heard you live next door, is that right?"

Lu Xingyan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's right next to me."

"Is it the same type of apartment as this one?" Ji Yan asked.

“It was originally the same,” Lu Xingyan replied, “but it was renovated before; it only had two rooms, and the area was expanded.”

For some reason, Ji Yan seemed very interested. "Can I go over and have a look?"

Lu Xingyan, perhaps overwhelmed with joy, paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay! I'll take you on a tour after we finish eating!" "Okay."

"I'll go too!" Tang Xu immediately chimed in from the side.

Lu Xingyan gave her a sharp look, but before she could say anything, Ji Yan asked with some doubt, "Haven't you been there before?"

Tang Xu choked slightly, exchanged a glance with Lu Xingyan before realizing what was happening, chuckled awkwardly, and said, "Of course I've been there. I was just thinking of going with you."

"It's just a short walk, are you worried I'll get lost?" Ji Yan said with a smile. "Since we're neighbors, I should go and get acquainted with the place."

Since that was the case, Tang Xu didn't say anything more.

After breakfast, Ji Yan followed Lu Xingyan to the neighboring house to get acquainted with the residents.

As soon as Lu Xingyan opened the door, a fluffy golden figure suddenly jumped out. After smelling Ji Yan's scent, it immediately wagged its tail excitedly and jumped around, wanting to play with Ji Yan.

"Kimi! Sit down!" Lu Xingyan immediately stopped Kimi's excited movements.

Kimi immediately sat down obediently, and Ji Yan withdrew her outstretched hand, bent down to look at Kimi, who was very enthusiastic towards her, and asked softly, "Is its name Kimi? So good."

“Yes,” Lu Xingyan replied, then added, “It likes you very much.”

Ji Yan paused slightly before saying, "We've only just met, how could it like me? Is it this enthusiastic towards everyone it meets for the first time?"

Lu Xingyan remained silent for a moment before saying, "No. Perhaps it's because you have a scent that it likes. In any case, it really likes you."

Ji Yan stared at it and teased it for a while before smiling and saying, "Thank you, I like you too!"

Lu Xingyan stood to the side listening, his gaze momentarily dazed, before leading Ji Yan and Kimi into the house.

Tang Xu stood at her own door, gazing at the scene over there until the two people went inside. Only then did she turn away and go back into the house.

Yan Shiyu was sitting on the sofa looking at some documents on his tablet when Tang Xu walked over and sat down next to him, saying, "Lu Xingyan must be so happy right now!"

She seemed to be talking to herself, so Yan Shiyu didn't answer. After a while, he turned to look at her and said, "Now you dare to come close to me?"

Tang Xu sensed something was amiss and tilted her head slightly to look at him. "So you want me to stay away from you? Fine, I'll leave then!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up, but before she could take a step, Yan Shiyu pulled her into his arms.

Then, Yan Shiyu lowered his head and kissed him.

Tang Xu originally intended to tease him a little, but when Yan Shiyu kissed her, she didn't react for a moment. By the time she came to her senses, she had already taken the initiative to hug his neck and was indulging in the kiss for a while.

Realizing this, Tang Xu quickly pulled away from his lips and tried to get up, but Yan Shiyu held her tightly and refused to let go.

"She'll be back soon after her visit!" Tang Xu said anxiously.

"Not so fast," Yan Shiyu said.

"What if?" Tang Xu was still very nervous.

"There's no 'what if'."

After Yan Shiyu answered confidently, he picked her up and turned them over, pressing Tang Xu into the sofa and kissing her again.

"Hey!" Tang Xu was utterly stunned!
She felt so embarrassed that she would want to bang her head against the wall if she were caught doing something so outrageous!
But Yan Shiyu ignored everything, as if he couldn't perceive anything, and just kept releasing his passion, forcing her to face it.

At first, Tang Xu still had the strength to dodge, but gradually, under his repeated temptations, she succumbed to it once again...

……

It was an hour later when Ji Yan returned to the house.

Yan Shiyu was nowhere to be seen; only Tang Xu was sitting on the sofa, blushing, playing on her phone.

Seeing Lu Xingyan bring Ji Yan back, Tang Xu pursed her lips slightly and smiled, "You're back? How was the tour?"

Ji Yan's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before she said, "I wanted to accompany him to take Kimi for a walk and also stroll around the neighborhood, so I came back to get some clothes."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go with you. I also want to go down and have a look around."

However, just as she stood up, Tang Xu's body lurched, and she slumped back onto the sofa.

Lu Xingyan's murderous expression vanished instantly, and Ji Yan rushed forward anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Tang Xu quickly replied. "I just sat there for too long and got up too quickly..."

She sat there, covering her forehead, feeling somewhat annoyed—she couldn't very well say that she had been kissing for too long and her body hadn't recovered yet, could she?

"Then you should rest at home for a while." Lu Xingyan finally found a chance to speak. "I'll go down with her. Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't get hurt again."

“Yes,” Ji Yan said. “I’ve heard there are several nice parks nearby, and I’d like to go for a walk. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Tang Xu was indeed too tired to walk any further and could not be forced to continue, so she could only nod in agreement.

Soon, Lu Xingyan got Ji Yan a coat, and the two of them went out again together.

Tang Xu sat there for a while before finally standing up and walking towards the master bedroom.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he was pulled inside by an arm, and in an instant, he was lying on the bed.

Just as Tang Xu was about to sit up, she was pressed back down by the man's bare chest.

She glared at the man in front of her, who was only wrapped in a bath towel. "Didn't you want to take a shower?"

"Can't you wash it after you're done? It'll be fine."

Tang Xu couldn't help but cover her face.

The next moment, she was completely enveloped by the man's burning chest...

……

Ji Yan went for a walk with Lu Xingyan, and it lasted for more than three hours.

The amount of free time was just right, so much so that after Tang Xu finished showering and washing her hair, she sat on the sofa and the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

She had been indifferent to Lu Xingyan at the hospital, but after returning here, she suddenly became curious about him and took the initiative. She went to visit his place, went for walks with him, and stayed for so long...

It's as if... they're being given time and space on purpose.

As Tang Xu thought this, her ears burned again.

Just then, the doorbell rang; it was Lu Xingyan who brought Ji Yan back.

Tang Xu's hair was still half-wet and her face was still red when she met Ji Yan's gaze as she entered the room.

Ji Yan, however, acted unusually naturally, simply smiling and saying, "I'm back. It's quite hot outside, I didn't even need the coat I brought."

Tang Xu couldn't help but bite her lip, and after a moment, she said, "Come here."

Ji Yan obediently walked over and sat down next to her.

Tang Xu took a deep breath and decided to be blunt, "Did you go out for so long on purpose?"

Ji Yan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she surprisingly admitted it frankly: "Yes."

Tang Xu couldn't help but cover her face with her hands. Before she could think of what to say next, Ji Yan spoke up: "I don't want my arrival to disrupt your lives and pace. Don't distance yourself from my brother just because I'm moving in. He'll have a hard time."

Tang Xu slightly moved her hand away, looking at Ji Yan with a somewhat blank expression.

Ji Yan smiled and said, "My brother not only has a deep, mutual love for you, but also an undeniable physical attraction. It would be very painful for him to see you but be unable to get close to you." (End of Chapter)
