I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 148
148 Fulfilling a Long-cherished Dream
Sang Qianqian didn’t dare to ask for marriage from Shen Hanyu.
Although the media was abuzz with reports about Shen Hanyu, saying that the big shot was still single…
But now, her status and Shen Hanyu’s were worlds apart.
She shouldn’t have such unrealistic hopes.
!!
She had always felt guilty toward Shen Hanyu, and now, on top of that, she was also grateful.
Sang Qianqian wanted to fulfill her promise and repay Shen Hanyu as much as she could.
However, she didn’t want to make things difficult for him or give him any unnecessary trouble.
Sang Qianqian lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Shen Hanyu as she continued to speak softly.
“If one day you meet a girl you like and want to get married, I will leave.”
All these years, she had never liked anyone else other than Shen Hanyu.
She was reunited with Shen Hanyu again after she found out he had nothing to do with the tragedy that had happened to the Sang family.
Her heart would beat violently when she faced him. Alas, she still liked him very, very much.
She had no resistance against him and easily fell into his trap again.
She really, really wanted to be with Shen Hanyu. Even if she wouldn’t receive any status.
She would take it as a token of gratitude for him showing mercy to the Sang family and saving her life.
It would be just like fulfilling a long-cherished dream.
Shen Hanyu looked at her and frowned. “Sang Qianqian, do you know what you’re saying?”
“I know.” Sang Qianqian whispered, “If you want me, I’m willing to follow you.”
Shen Hanyu stared at her for a long time before he said, “No need.”
Sang Qianqian’s nose felt dry. She had already mustered her courage and put down all her dignity, lowering herself to the dust.
However, he still did not want her.
She took a deep breath and held back her tears. “No matter what, I still have to thank you.”
Shen Hanyu looked indifferent. “You should thank yourself. I’m only doing this to return the favor of you helping me back then.”
If she hadn’t been so kind to him back then, he would not have shown any mercy to her and the Sang family today.
Shen Hanyu left.
Sang Qianqian couldn’t tell if she was sad or something else, but she was extremely dejected.
However, her situation was much better than before.
There were no more debt collectors, so she didn’t have to continue living under anxiety and pressure any more.
Sang Qianqian had basically finished her studies abroad and was originally an intern at a hospital. That hospital wanted her to go back and continue working with them.
However, she was worried about her brother’s whereabouts and stayed in Ming City.
Ming City’s noble families all knew about Sang Minglang’s disappearance and also knew that Sang Qianqian was looking for her brother’s whereabouts.
Some people with ill intentions made use of Sang Qianqian’s anxiety to fake a photo of Sang Minglang and tricked her into going to Shengshi Club.
When she arrived, the other party wanted her to drink, saying that he would tell her where Sang Minglang was after she was done.
Sang Qianqian refused, but the other party stopped her and tried to force her.
Her mind was blank. She wanted to call Wen Xu, but out of panic, she called Shen Hanyu.
The man pressed her down on the sofa. When he kissed her, she felt her nerves snap and she completely lost her mind. She picked up the fruit knife on the table and stabbed the man madly.
Shen Hanyu arrived very quickly. When he arrived, Sang Qianqian wasn’t in a good state.
The girl’s clothes were in a mess, and she was curled up in the corner with a knife in her hand. Her face was pale, and her body was trembling badly. Her hands and body were covered in blood.
It was her blood, and also the man’s blood.
She didn’t even recognize Shen Hanyu when he walked up to her. She just shivered and asked him not to come over.
Shen Hanyu grabbed her wrist and said in a low voice, “It’s me, Sang Qianqian.”
Her pupils, which had lost focus due to extreme fear, finally shone some light.
The knife fell to the ground as she threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly.
At that moment, Shen Hanyu didn’t know what he was feeling.
He remembered the night she was sick and hugged him in a daze. The words she said about how much she used to like him, how she regretted calling her father, how she had let him down, and how she had been feeling guilty all these years…
It wasn’t that he wasn’t moved.
Later on, she had said that she wanted to be with him without a status. He rejected her because, deep down, he felt that Sang Qianqian shouldn’t be so self-deprecating.
In the past, Sang Qianqian loved to smile. Most of the time, her eyes were curved and her lips were smiling.
Whether it was her dress or her demeanor, she was worthy of being called ‘Young Miss.’
She was like a real, carefree princess, but she wasn’t arrogant. Instead, she was soft and delicate, bright and beautiful like the morning glow. She could only be seen from afar, but not played with.
And now, Sang Qianqian had fallen into a ditch. No matter who it was, they dared to trample on her.
Shen Hanyu’s expression darkened.
The person who had violated Sang Qianqian looked like he was bleeding a lot, but he didn’t have any fatal injuries; They were mostly cuts.
After all, Sang Qianqian was a girl and her strength couldn’t be compared to a man’s. However, the way she broke down and lost control frightened the man so much that he didn’t dare to do anything to her anymore.
However, Shen Hanyu had no intention of letting the man go. He dragged the man to the room next door, his dark eyes flashing with a cold light.
A shrill cry resounded through the dark night, causing one’s heart to tremble.
Guo Muyang had rarely seen Shen Hanyu hit someone, and he was shocked when he saw it that night.
If it wasn’t for Guo Muyang holding on to Shen Hanyu, that man might have really lost his life.
That night, Shen Hanyu did not send Sang Qianqian back to her residence. Instead, he brought her to Imperial Creek Terrace.
However, Sang Qianqian felt uneasy and wanted to leave.
Shen Hanyu stopped her, his voice cold and calm. “Didn’t you say that you want to follow me? I’ll be living here from now on.”
Sang Qianqian was stunned. For a moment, she couldn’t tell if she was feeling happy or sad. However, this was the path she had chosen.
Whether the future was bitter or sweet, it was the path she was willing to go through.
The best thing about staying by Shen Hanyu’s side was that no one would dare to touch her again.
In the beginning, she and Shen Hanyu lived together and treated each other with respect.
He lived upstairs and she lived downstairs. Every day, before she went to work, she would always make breakfast for the two.
At night, she would also quietly prepare dinner for the two of them, even though Shen Hanyu always worked late and rarely came back for dinner.
On Shen Hanyu’s birthday, she made a table full of dishes and even bought a birthday cake.
That night, Guo Dingsong invited Shen Hanyu over for dinner. Guo Muyang, Rong Ce, and a few close friends were all there.
When Shen Hanyu came back, it was already very late, and he looked drunk.
Sang Qianqian had been waiting for him for a long time, but he didn’t return. In the end, she curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
Shen Hanyu’s gaze shifted from the food and cake on the table to the girl. He looked at her for a long time without any clear meaning.
In the end, he bent down, wanting to pick her up and send her back to her room.
The girl woke up with a start. She opened her eyes in a daze and called his name softly, “Happy Birthday, Hanyu.”
Shen Hanyu looked at her face, which was flushed red from her sleepiness. Her eyebrows were like a painting, and her lips were as red as cherries. She was so beautiful that he couldn’t help but feel moved.
He tried to endure it, but he couldn’t.
Shen Hanyu lowered his eyes and kissed the girl on the lips.
