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

84 I Want to Do Something for Him

Shen Hanyu’s dark eyes were fixed on the girl, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

It was as if a ray of light had suddenly shone into the darkness, making those who had no hope suddenly have a fervent desire.

Meeting his gaze, Sang Qianqian felt slightly uneasy. “So, will you agree to my request?”

“I agree.”

Shen Hanyu said quickly, “I promise you that I’ll be patient in the future. I’ll let you finish your words, and I won’t throw a tantrum.”

Sang Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief. “I have a second condition. Will you agree to it?”

“I agree.” Shen Hanyu nodded without hesitation.

From the moment he heard that she had broken up with Xie Shi’an, Shen Hanyu’s heart was beating like a drum, almost jumping out of his chest.

No matter what conditions she had, he wouldn’t reject them and would agree to them.

Sang Qianqian smiled and said, “That’s good. In the future, after the acupuncture is done, you must sleep well and not force yourself awake again. Constantly waking up just to send me back isn’t good for your recovery.”

Shen Hanyu was speechless. He seemed to have agreed a little too hastily.

Was it too late to regret now?

As Sang Qianqian inserted the silver needles, Shen Hanyu’s splitting headache finally eased a little. His consciousness gradually sank into the darkness, and even though he was extremely reluctant, he still couldn’t help but close his eyes.

Sang Qianqian’s gaze fell on Shen Hanyu’s face, her emotions indescribably complicated. Now that she thought about it, Guo Muyang was right.

Back then, he didn’t hand over the evidence in his hands to the police or the media because he really didn’t want to ruin the Sang family.

However, her nightmares had planted seeds of prejudice in her heart against Shen Hanyu.

What she had feared most in her nightmares never happened. On the other hand, Shen Hanyu had been tormented by nightmares of her death and faced an illness for five years.

In the past, Shen Hanyu was the one who felt guilty about her death. But now, she felt a little guilty about it.

When Sang Qianqian left the room gently, the city’s neon lights and the stars in the sky reflected each other outside the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window. Bustling and cold tranquility filled the atmosphere.

For some reason, she remembered what Rong Yan had said the other day. The child said that she had gotten up in the middle of the night to drink water and saw Shen Hanyu standing alone in front of the window in a daze.

To Shen Hanyu, that night was probably just a normal one; a sleepless night haunted by his nightmares.

After pondering for a while, Sang Qianqian suddenly felt like doing something for Shen Hanyu. She really felt sorry after lying to him for so many years.

Sang Qianqian hesitated for a moment, but still went to the kitchen. When she opened the refrigerator door, she was stunned. Why were there so many pomelos?

She remembered the first time she came to Shen Hanyu’s place. He had brought her a glass of freshly squeezed pomelo juice. Did he like this drink too?

Sang Qianqian wanted to look for milk, but there wasn’t any in the fridge. After some thought, she placed an order for takeaway.

It was night time, so the delivery was fast. Sang Qianqian occupied herself in the kitchen.

In the bedroom, Shen Hanyu slowly opened his eyes. The surroundings were silent and dark, just like the countless nights he had spent alone.

The girl he wanted to see wasn’t there, and even the words she said seemed to be an unrealistic dream in the midst of his headache.

So, had Sang Qianqian really been here?

“President Shen, are you awake?”

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a gentle voice sounded. Shen Hanyu’s heart skipped a beat. When he turned around, he saw Sang Qianqian.

The girl was standing at the door holding a cup of hot milk. The light in the living room shone on her, coating her entire body with a layer of soft light. Her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, were watching him gently.

For a moment, Shen Hanyu really thought that he was dreaming.

He was stunned for a while until Sang Qianqian turned on the lights in the room and walked to his side.

Sang Qianqian seemed to have thought of something. “Did you take the medicine Director Xue prescribed for you on time?”

“Yes,” Shen Hanyu replied almost mechanically.

Sang Qianqian nodded, “In the future, after each acupuncture session, President Shen’s sleep duration might get longer and longer. If you wake up halfway, you can drink a glass of hot milk; it’ll help you continue sleeping.”

She handed him the milk and smiled. “This brand of milk isn’t bad. In the past, when I couldn’t sleep, drinking a glass of hot milk would help me a lot. I don’t know if it’ll help you, but trying won’t hurt.”

When she said this, her eyebrows were slightly curved, and her voice was sweet with an indescribable gentleness.

It was like a soft catkin, silently passing through the water surface, creating circles of ripples that didn’t stop for a long time.

“Sang Qianqian, you…” Shen Hanyu’s voice was low and hoarse.

“What is it?” Sang Qianqian tilted her head.

“Nothing,” Shen Hanyu replied.

He had wanted to ask her if she really broke up with Xie Shi’an. When Xie Shi’an came to give him the wedding candy, even Shen Hanyu couldn’t help but be moved by Xie Shi’an’s heartfelt joy of having his long-cherished wish fulfilled.

At that time, Sang Qianqian also smiled when she looked at Xie Shi’an. They seemed like they would have a good relationship. So why did they suddenly break up?

However, as the words were about to come out of his mouth, Shen Hanyu suddenly felt that there was no need to ask again. It didn’t matter if she had really broken up with Xie Shi’an or if she was just saying it out of spite.

He had taken it as if they had completely broken up and she was single now.

The room was quiet for a moment, so quiet that it was a little strange.

Sang Qianqian broke the silence. “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.”

“I’ll send you home,” Shen Hanyu said as he stood up.

Sang Qianqian glanced at him. “President Shen, have you forgotten what you promised me?”

“Just tonight.” Shen Hanyu insisted, “Don’t worry. I won’t… Relapse.”

In the past, Sang Qianqian didn’t really understand why he insisted on sending her home every time she finished her treatment.

He also did many other things, such as digging up her grave and doing an autopsy. He was so persistent about whether she was still alive or not. However, when he saw her in Yuecheng, he didn’t blame her for lying to him. Instead, he only asked her how she had been these few years.

Additionally, he didn’t answer her calls, but instead told Guo Muyang to make a statement that he would no longer pursue the Wen family. Not to mention that night, he had taken the initiative to bring her to visit the Sang family’s old residence.

Sang Qianqian couldn’t understand why Shen Hanyu was so nice to her. But Guo Muyang’s words cleared up all the doubts in her heart.

Shen Hanyu treated her this way not only because she had saved his life, but also because she had treated his headache.

It was probably because of guilt, just as Guo Muyang had said. That was why he wanted to make it up to her as much as possible.

“President Shen, actually…”

Sang Qianqian didn’t know what to say and was stunned for a while before she tactfully said, “I remember that when we were at the beach, you asked me if I had been well for the past five years. I replied that I was doing well. The past is in the past, and I’m still alive and well. There’s no need for President Shen to feel that you’re indebted to me for what happened back then, because you don’t owe me anything. On the other hand, I’ve lied to you for five years, and I owe you an apology.”

She raised her eyes and looked at him deeply, her voice almost gentle. “I hope that President Shen can let go of the past completely and live as well as I do.”

In fact, she hoped he could live better than her.
