I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 55
55 How’ve You Been These Five Years?
Shen Hanyu felt that the whole situation was absurd.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, there was only cold and lonely darkness in his eyes, without any extra emotions.
He looked at Sang Qianqian and said calmly, “I heard that the scenery at the beach in Yuecheng is pretty good. Sang Qianqian, why don’t you accompany me for a walk?”
!!
It seemed to be a question, but there was no room for discussion.
Sang Qianqian didn’t know what Shen Hanyu was up to, but at that moment, his unusual calmness made her feel a little uneasy.
Wen Xu shielded Sang Qianqian. “Sister, don’t go with him. This is not Ming City. He can’t take you away by force.”
Guo Muyang sighed and tried to sound as gentle as possible. “Miss Sang, don’t worry. Hanyu will never hurt you. You can accompany Hanyu for a walk, and you can clear up any misunderstandings.”
For the past five years, only Guo Muyang knew how Shen Hanyu had been living because of Sang Qianqian’s death.
Who would have thought that Sang Qianqian was not dead at all? No one would be able to take this easily.
If anyone else dared to lie to Shen Hanyu like this, the consequences would be terrible.
However, Shen Hanyu had not said a single harsh word to Sang Qianqian.
All he wanted was for Sang Qianqian to accompany him for a walk. This request was really not too much.
Sang Qianqian hesitated, but Shen Hanyu said, “If you don’t want me to take revenge on the Sang family, accompany me on this trip.”
“Shen Hanyu, don’t forget that Sister Qian saved your life! Are you still human if you threaten her like this?”
Wen Xu was furious. “Sister Qian won’t go with you today. What are you going to do?!”
Shen Hanyu didn’t say anything, but Guo Muyang turned around and waved. A few bodyguards in black walked over from the corridor.
“Damn, you came to find my sister with bodyguards?”
“Shen Hanyu, do you think my sister would be afraid of you? ” Wen Xu asked.
“The bodyguards are not targeting Miss Sang. They’re targeting President Wen.”
Guo Muyang said lightly, “President Wen, please go in and have a good rest.”
Wen Xu’s face darkened. Just as he was about to say something, Sang Qianqian interrupted, “Wen Xu, you go in first. I’ll be right back with him.”
“But, Sis…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Sang Qianqian replied calmly, “Didn’t Mr. Guo say that President Shen would not hurt me?”
Since Shen Hanyu wanted her to walk with him, then she would just accompany him. Just as Guo Muyang had said, some things must be made clear.
—
Yuecheng was close to the sea. On both sides of the seaside trail, fiery red phoenix flowers were planted, which reflected the setting sun in the sky.
Children were chasing each other on the beach. The waves gently surged onto the beach and then receded, leaving a wet mark on the soft sand.
It was a normal evening by the sea in Yuecheng. It was quiet, peaceful, and warm.
Sang Qianqian followed behind Shen Hanyu, and the two of them walked silently.
Shen Hanyu did not say anything, so Sang Qianqian naturally kept quiet as well.
She stole a glance at Shen Hanyu and remembered the last time she saw him. They had met on the streets of Ming City.
People came and went on the street, and he stood there with a cold and isolated aura.
Unexpectedly, five years later, the aura around him had become a hundred times stronger. It was not only cold, but also lonely.
His heart was like a piece of dead wood, filled with a deathly stillness.
Sang Qianqian did not know what he had been through in the past five years.
Logically speaking, with his current successful career, if he claimed to be the second best in the domestic mobile phone communication industry, no one would dare to say they were the first.
He and Xia Sitong were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was so good. Even if they weren’t married yet, they should be married soon, right?
As for his father, Shen Shaofeng, his legs were disabled.
However, medical technology was so advanced now. After installing artificial limbs and undergoing rehabilitation training, one could walk like a normal person.
Even the burn scars on his face could be treated with scar restoration surgery, and his appearance would not be a big problem.
Sang Qianqian could not understand why Shen Hanyu was not doing well. The two of them walked along the beach for a long time.
Shen Hanyu finally stopped. He turned around and stared at the girl beside him.
After five years, her appearance was still the same, but there were some changes.
Five years ago, she was like a real lady from a rich family. Even her clothes were in the style of a princess. She was like a beautiful flower in a greenhouse, bright and beautiful, but very fragile.
Five years later, she was wearing a clean white denim t-shirt, and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked pure, capable, and simple. Moreover, her eyes were clear and determined.
She had grown up so much, and he wasn’t there to witness it.
The sea breeze blew gently and there was a gentleness in his eyes. “How’ve you been these past five years?”
Sang Qianqian had been enduring Shen Hanyu’s gaze, not knowing what he was up to.
Hearing his words, Sang Qianqian was slightly taken aback. Did she hear him wrong?
Shen Hanyu was actually asking her how she had been these past few years?
She looked up and met Shen Hanyu’s strange gaze. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
His pupils were dark and deep, like the silent sea in front of them. Those eyes hid deep and restrained emotions like the ocean, but also a faint gentleness.
In that instant, Sang Qianqian felt that she might have made a wrong judgment.
But his gaze was indeed warm enough.
Sang Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly to avoid his gaze and said softly, “It’s pretty good. I studied in Europe for four years, and I’m a doctor now.”
For some reason, Shen Hanyu felt relieved.
The regret that had tortured him for many years seemed to have dissipated a little.
She had finally become the person she wanted to be and was doing the job she liked.
Her life had not changed because of that injury.
Otherwise, he might really feel guilty for the rest of his life. After another long silence, he spoke again, “What nightmare did you have?”
Sang Qianqian was stunned for a moment before she finally understood what he was asking.
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “I dreamed that you became a Big Boss in the communications industry. Afterward, you came to take revenge on the Sang family and me.”
Shen Hanyu looked at her deeply. “So, you faked your death and left Ming City because of a dream?”
“Many of the scenes in that dream became reality.”
Sang Qianqian’s reason for feigning death sounded understandable in front of her family and Wen Xu, but when she said the same thing to Shen Hanyu, it sounded a little off.
She lowered her head and pursed her lips, then added in a low voice, “You destroyed the Sang family in my dream. Even Wen Xu was implicated. I really believed that we couldn’t let our guards down.”
Shen Hanyu didn’t know how to describe his feelings.
After a long time, he helplessly sighed and said, “Am I that scary in your heart?”
Sang Qianqian did not say anything. She thought to herself, ‘That’s not all. You’re the embodiment of terror in my dream.’
She didn’t say anything, which seemed to be a tacit agreement. Shen Hanyu looked at her with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
No wonder she was so nice to him and the Shen family back then. She was even willing to risk her life to protect him.
It turned out that all of this was not because she liked him, but because… She was afraid of him.
