I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 156

156 If You Want to Go, Then Go

Hearing the name ‘Shen Hanyu’…

The man narrowed his eyes. “No wonder Shi’an was in such a bad mood when he came back from Ming City.”

If Sang Qianqian was with Shen Hanyu now, Shi’an couldn’t be blamed for being depressed.

This person was now considered one of the country’s top giants in the communications industry. With Shi’an’s current status, it was indeed difficult to catch up to him.

!!
At the mention of Xie Shi’an, a rare look of sympathy appeared on Cui Xu’s face. “That night at Mr. Guo’s birthday party, Young Master An met Shen Hanyu and Miss Sang. He might have been traumatized from that and got himself drunk. When he returned to the hotel, he vomited and kept calling out Miss Sang’s name, asking her to forgive him.”

He bent down and picked up the teapot on the table, adding some hot tea to Ruan Cheng’s cup before continuing, “I couldn’t bear to see it, so I raised the warning level on my own.”

Shen Hanyu was young and promising, but he was also extremely calm and low-key. He rarely appeared in the media. Moreover, his private life was very well-behaved, so it was difficult for Cui Xu to find anything to use against him.

However, everyone only had one life, and no one couldn’t care less about their own lives. No matter how much he liked Sang Qianqian, he would still have to think twice before acting if he could lose his life from her.

“You’re also quite good at causing trouble for me.”

Ruan Cheng said lightly, “Do you not have enough things to do?”

Cui Xu was a little ashamed and explained with his head down, “If I don’t do this, I’m afraid it won’t work on Shen Hanyu.”

Ruan Cheng picked up the teacup, the steam blurring his dark and gloomy face.

He lowered his head and sipped his tea nonchalantly. “Since you’ve done it, remember to clean it up. Don’t let anyone find out about it in the capital, and don’t cause trouble for Shi’an. I don’t want to be meddlesome at this time.”

“Don’t worry, Lord Cheng,” Cui Xu said respectfully. “Even if they trace it to Young Master An, they won’t be able to find anything. After all, this has nothing to do with Young Master An. I’ve made all the arrangements and won’t leave behind any traces.”

Ruan Cheng nodded and slowly sipped his tea, waving his hand. Cui Xu knew this was a signal for him to leave.

He bowed and went out, closing the door silently.

Ruan Cheng put down his teacup and leaned back on the couch, closing his eyes to rest.

Someone pushed the door open and walked in with light footsteps. Perhaps it was because they saw he was sleeping, but they didn’t make a sound for a while.

Ruan Cheng didn’t open his eyes. “Just say it.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang mustered up her courage. “Big Brother, I want to stay in Ming City for a while. Doesn’t our family have a sea shipping branch over there? Can I be transferred to work there?”

The man’s eyes were still closed, and his voice was faint. “Reason?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang bit her lip. “I have a friend in Ming City whom I haven’t seen in many years. I want to see him again.”

Ruan Cheng finally opened his eyes and stared at Ruan Xiaoshuang with a faint gaze. His gaze was calm, but Ruan Xiaoshuang’s nerves still tensed up subconsciously.

Ruan Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly. “The friend who made you break off your engagement and refuse to get married?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang lowered her head and replied, “Yes.”

“What’s that person’s identity?” Ruan Cheng asked indifferently.

Ruan Xiaoshuang panicked. “H-He has a very ordinary identity and family background.”

She seemed to be afraid of Ruan Cheng’s objection and quickly added, “But our family doesn’t lack money, so I don’t care about his status at all. You’ve seen it for yourself, Big Brother. It’s not like I haven’t gone on blind dates or tried to date other people, but I really can’t fall in love. It can only be him…”

She blushed and did not continue.

Ruan Cheng looked at her meaningfully. “I brought you and Shi’an up myself. Why didn’t both of you learn anything good and only followed my bad side?”

It wasn’t a good thing to be over-infatuated.

This would become a weakness for a person, making others manipulate them much easier. Once separation occurs, their good life would only become a mess from then on.

Ruan Xiaoshuang thought of her brother’s experience all these years and felt sad. She didn’t know what to say.

Perhaps it was because he was thinking about the past that tugged at his emotions, but Ruan Cheng lowered his head and coughed.

Ruan Xiaoshuang quietly walked to Ruan Cheng’s side, pulled the thin blanket over him, and gently stroked his back.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Brother, Sister Giuling has passed away for so many years. You must start moving on.”

In fact, she knew how powerless her words were. It was easier said than done. After so many years, she couldn’t let go of her past relationship either.

The moment she saw Sang Minglang, even though she knew there would be no result, she still wanted to get close to him without a care; She was like a moth to a flame.

Ruan Cheng’s cough finally stopped, and his pale face was dyed with an abnormal red.

He closed his eyes slightly and calmed his breathing. His voice was a little low. “If you want to go, then go. Don’t leave any regrets for yourself.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t believe that her big brother had agreed to her request. She was overjoyed and her voice was filled with excitement. “Thank you, Big Brother!”

“Remember to send my regards to Uncle Guo when you go to Ming City.”

Ruan Cheng gave a rare smile. “If there’s anything, just tell Uncle Guo. He’ll take care of you.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang agreed and almost couldn’t wait to leave.

Ruan Cheng’s eyes dimmed as he watched her disappear. He had been through this before, so he could understand Ruan Xiaoshuang’s state of mind. He was particularly indulgent towards this sister of his.

Separation in life was always better than separation in death. It was always better to meet someone again than not meeting them again.

Whether it was Shi’an or Xiaoshuang, he didn’t want them to follow in his footsteps.

—

He didn’t know if it was because he knew his daughter too well, or if it was because Shen Shaofeng had personally accompanied Shen Hanyu.

Sang Pengcheng’s attitude toward Shen Hanyu was rather polite.

He asked a few questions about the wedding details, and Shen Hanyu answered them in an orderly manner. Sang Pengcheng was quite satisfied.

He wanted to continue asking, but Sang Minglang was starting to get impatient. “Father, the wedding is his and Qianqian’s. Why are you asking so many questions?”

Sang Pengcheng glared at him. “Even Hanyu’s not saying anything, so what right do you have to say that?”

Sang Minglang shrugged. “Sure, feel free to ask. I don’t mind asking until tomorrow morning.”

Sang Qianqian sat cross-legged on the sofa at the side, holding a plate of strawberries with a smile and eating happily.

Sang Minglang’s gaze landed on her. “We’ve been talking about you the entire afternoon and night, but you’re really taking it easy like an outsider.”

“I have Hanyu and Dad to worry about me, so of course I’m carefree.”

Sang Qianqian glanced at her brother. “Brother, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Why are you being so whiny?”

Sang Minglang stretched out his long arm and directly snatched the fruit platter away, raising it up high, “You dare say that about your brother? I don’t think you need these strawberries anymore.”

Sang Qianqian stood on the sofa, snatching the fruit plate. The siblings were having a good time when her phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Sang Qianqian immediately restrained herself, cleared her throat, and picked up, “Sister Xiaoshuang,”

Hearing the words “Sister Xiaoshuang”, Sang Minglang’s body stiffened, and the smile on his face earlier was replaced by a cold look.
