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

283 I Think We Should Both Calm Down

Sang Qianqian subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back. She used a little strength, but she couldn’t move it at all.

“Sir, what are you doing?”

Su Yuan was shocked. “Let go of her, or I’ll have to call security.”

Shen Hanyu didn’t even look at him. His face was dark and he didn’t say a word.

!!

Sang Qianqian said helplessly, “I’m fine. Su Yuan, you can go first. I’ll come back after I have a few words with him.”

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment before he understood who Sang Qianqian was referring to.

Seeing that Sang Qianqian was still calm despite being held by the man, and that Shen Hanyu only had eyes for Sang Qianqian and no one else, Su Yuan understood something.

“Then be careful.” Su Yuan was worried and reminded her, “Call me if there’s anything.”

Sang Qianqian nodded her head.

The corridor was full of people, so it was not easy to talk. She pulled Shen Hanyu forward and stopped near the window at the end of the corridor.

“Shen Hanyu, I have to remind you that in public, especially in my workplace, it’s best for us to keep an appropriate distance.”

Sang Qianqian looked up at Shen Hanyu. “I think we should both calm down and re-evaluate our relationship.”

Shen Hanyu looked at her and said in a hoarse voice, “How do you want to re-evaluate it?”

“I understand that you had no choice but to break up with me back then, but I can’t be sure if you’ll still treat me the same way you did before if you come across a similar problem in the future.”

Sang Qianqian said softly, “If you were to do it again, I might not be able to hold on a second time. I don’t think we should go back to the past. At least for now, I don’t have confidence in you. Give me some time, and give yourself some time, okay?”

Perhaps because Shen Hanyu had been so gentle and indulgent to her in the past, she had the illusion that no matter what happened, as long as she pulled him to her side, acted coquettishly, and cried to beg him, he would soften up.

However, she had forgotten that Shen Hanyu always had a cold and ruthless side to him.

Otherwise, the Han family of the past and the Ruan family of today would not have been completely erased.

Sang Qianqian had never thought that one day, she would be deeply aware of Shen Hanyu’s heartlessness, even though he had no choice.

It was a painful feeling. No matter how she lowered her stance, no matter how she cried, no matter how much she begged, it was useless.

It was as if she was facing an unshakeable and silent mountain, and nothing could change his mind.

Sang Qianqian did not want to experience that feeling a second time.

The winter sun shone through the window and onto the girl’s face. Her eyes were calm and determined. It was obvious that she had thought about these words for a long time.

“How long do you mean by ‘some time’?” Shen Hanyu asked slowly.

Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. “I don’t know, either.”

In fact, she really wanted to say, “It depends on your performance and how long I can last.”

When she first went to Ming City, she firmly believed that she would never like Shen Hanyu, But in the end, she had agreed to marry him in less than three months and even put it into action.

This time, she might not even be able to last three weeks.

However, she couldn’t tell Shen Hanyu about this. She was afraid that he would act “fearless.”

Shen Hanyu stared at Sang Qianqian, the look in his eyes shifting.

He did not know if it was because he had been separated from Sang Qianqian for too long, or if it was because he had no choice and was forced to withdraw from her life, but he had been suppressing too many of his feelings.

Just now, when he saw her chatting happily with the young man, Shen Hanyu couldn’t help but have a dark thought in his heart. He wanted to lock her up in a place that only he knew.

No other man would be able to see her. In her world, there would only be him.

At this moment, when he heard her say I don’t think we should go back to the past”, this dark and brutal thought grew wildly again.

When she ‘died’ and came back to life, but acted cold and distant to him, he had also had such thoughts.

However, at that time, it was far less intense than now. At that time, he still had reason.

But now, his morals were in danger. He was on his last straw, and he might collapse.

Sang Qianqian was stunned to find the same heart-palpitating look in Shen Hanyu’s eyes.

His gaze seemed to be looking at her, but he also didn’t seem to be looking at her. The turbulent undercurrent in his eyes gradually became more and more terrifying than before.

He was still holding her hand, but his strength seemed to be unconsciously increasing, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

For a moment, Sang Qianqian suspected that Shen Hanyu was possessed.

“Shen Hanyu? Hanyu?”

Sang Qianqian raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. “What’s wrong with you?”

Shen Hanyu finally came back to his senses and met the girl’s confused and concerned eyes.

He suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind and let go of her hand. “It’s nothing. I’ll remember your words.”

Sang Qianqian was a little puzzled. Why did he suddenly seem like a different person?

“You’re really fine?”

“Yes, I am.”

Sang Qianqian looked at him suspiciously, not believing his words at all.

The way he acted just now was really strange and a little scary.

However, Shen Hanyu said that he was fine, so she didn’t ask further.

“Alright, then I’ll go back to work.”

If she did not leave now, she would really be late.

Just as she was about to leave, Shen Hanyu called her name. “Qianqian.”

...

“Is there anything else?” Sang Qianqian asked.

Shen Hanyu gave her a meaningful look. “Grandmother asked when you’re free. She wants to invite you to the Zhen family’s residence for a meal.”

“There’s no rush. We’ll talk about it after you’ve fully recovered.”

Seeing that he was indeed much more normal now, Sang Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving then?”

Shen Hanyu nodded.

Sang Qianqian had walked quite a distance away. When she turned around, she saw that Shen Hanyu was still standing in the same spot, looking in her direction.

This person’s legs hadn’t fully recovered yet. She didn’t know if he could stand for so long. His legs will definitely hurt when he goes back…

She realized what she was thinking.

Sang Qianqian’s face was a little hot, and she felt that she had failed to live up to her expectations.

This was only the first day they had laid all their cards on the table, and she had already started worrying about him.

...

At night, in a restaurant.

“It’s rare that Qianqian is officially back. Moreover, our department has two new members.”

“Order whatever you want to eat tonight.” Director Miao waved his hand generously.

As soon as these words came out, it immediately attracted a round of cheers, and the atmosphere instantly became warm.

Halfway through the meal, Sang Qianqian pulled Yin Jinhui’s hand to the bathroom and took the opportunity to have a private conversation.

“So why did you suddenly transfer to the capital? Did you willingly leave your mother behind and come this far?”

Sang Qianqian remembered that Yin Jinhui’s mother’s health wasn’t too good. When she went to Ming City to study, Jinhui wanted to go, but she gave up the opportunity because she was worried about her mother.

Yin Jinhui’s expression turned dark, her eyes red. “Qianqian, my mother has passed away.”

She had grown up in a single-parent family and had been dependent on her mother since she was young. Now that her mother had passed away, she couldn’t help but feel sad every time she returned home after work and faced her cold and lonely home.

She thought that a change of environment might change her mood, so she came to Beijing.
