117 Guests From the Capital City
This was the first time Sang Qianqian had taken the initiative to hug Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu’s heart softened. He guessed that she must have seen the nurse applying medicine for the wounds on his back.
“Those injuries are really fine. They’re on my back, so they won’t affect anything.”
He consoled her gently, “As long as you don’t mind, I’m fine with it and it won’t hurt.”
Sang Qianqian sniffled and her eyes reddened. “I don’t mind.”
His heart really ached for her. Shen Hanyu looked at her deeply, his heart melting. He lowered his eyes and was about to kiss her.
“Ahem.”
Behind him, a cough was heard. Guo Dingsong walked in without looking sideways, and Guo Muyang didn’t even stop him.
Sang Qianqian hurriedly let go of Shen Hanyu and took a few large steps away.
“Dad, why do you have to spoil the fun?”
Guo Muyang sighed. “Couldn’t we just wait outside for a while?”
“I would like to wait. However, Xiaoshuang has already arrived at the airport. I just told her to go directly to Cloud Sea Restaurant, in case the host hasn’t arrived yet when the guests have arrived.”
Guo Dingsong glanced at Shen Hanyu. “After you’ve treated Xiaoshuang to a meal, you two can go back and make out as much as you want.”
Sang Qianqian’s face turned red in embarra.s.sment. This Uncle Guo was really blunt.
“Uncle Guo,” Shen Hanyu said, “Qianqian is a girl. Don’t say things like that so bluntly, she’ll be embarra.s.sed.”
“So?”
“So, you can’t use the same words you use on your disciples in the dojo,” Shen Hanyu said.
Guo Dingsong was slightly taken aback, then laughed out of anger. “You just think that your Uncle Guo is too uncouth and has too much of a pugilistic air.”
“I wouldn’t dare,” Shen Hanyu replied respectfully.
“You even dared to ask me to help you look after your wife. What else are you afraid of?”
Guo Dingsong snorted. “Qian’er, tell me. Were my words too much?”
What could Sang Qianqian say? She could only say, “No, it’s not too much.”
Guo Dingsong’s eyebrows were about to fly. “Hanyu, did you see that? Even your wife says I’m not going overboard, so why are you talking so much?”
Both Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian were speechless.
When she went downstairs, she asked Shen Hanyu in a low voice, “Who is Xiaoshuang?”
“She’s the daughter of Uncle Guo’s friend,” Shen Hanyu said.
When Guo Dingsong was young in the capital, he was Ruan Xiaoshuang’s father’s personal bodyguard. Although they were master and servant, their relationship was as close as brothers.
The Ruan family was a prestigious family in the capital.
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s father’s status was extremely n.o.ble, but it was lonely at the top. After he was a.s.sa.s.sinated, he left behind an orphan and a widow, and his family’s financial situation declined rapidly.
Coupled with the deliberate attack by their enemies, the Ruan family’s life was very difficult for a time. At that time, the Ruan family had relied on Guo Dingsong’s support, money, and effort, before they could regain their footing.
Every year before Guo Dingsong’s birthday, someone from the Ruan family would personally come to Ming City to offer their blessings, visit Guo Dingsong, and give him generous gifts.
In the earlier years, it was always the eldest son of the Ruan family, Ruan Cheng, who came.
However, Ruan Cheng’s health hadn’t been good for the past few years, so the Ruan family’s Second Young Lady, Ruan Xiaoshuang, had come as a subst.i.tute.
“Are you two very close?”
Sang Qianqian was just asking out of curiosity. If Shen Hanyu was willing to treat her to a meal, then their relationship must be good.
Shen Hanyu looked at her deeply. “I don’t know her, but I have to treat her to this meal.”
“Speaking of which, Xiaoshuang is the matchmaker for you and Hanyu. You two should be thanking her.”
Guo Dingsong said, “Xiaoshuang was the one who introduced Hanyu to Director Xue in Yuecheng. She has a friend who is also a doctor in your hospital.”
Sang Qianqian understood. In that case, Shen Hanyu had to treat her to this meal.
If it weren’t for Miss Ruan, she wouldn’t have met Shen Hanyu again and they wouldn’t be together today.
Because of this, when she saw Ruan Xiaoshuang, Sang Qianqian couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Ruan Xiaoshuang was very beautiful, like a lotus flower with a light and elegant beauty that stood aloof from the world. She also had a very gentle temperament that did not give people any sense of oppression, inexplicably making people have a good impression of her.
When Guo Muyang introduced them to each other, Ruan Xiaoshuang was clearly stunned when she heard Sang Qianqian’s name. “Sang Qianqian?”
She seemed to be moved. “Is Miss Sang related to the Sang family of the Hongyuan Group in Ming City?”
Sang Qianqian replied, “That’s my family, yes.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s face suddenly turned pale.
She seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything. She only looked deeply at Sang Qianqian for a long time.
At the dining table, she was a little absent-minded and would occasionally look up at Sang Qianqian with a complicated gaze.
If not for the fact that Sang Qianqian had never seen her before and suspected that she knew her, why would she look at her like that?
Even Guo Dingsong felt that something was wrong. “Xiaoshuang, do you know Little Qian?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled gently. “I don’t know her. I just think that Qianqian is very beautiful.”
Even Sang Qianqian felt embarra.s.sed when she said that.
Guo Dingsong couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re not that bad compared to Little Qian. If you keep staring at her, Hanyu will be jealous.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang also smiled. “Thank you for your reminder, Uncle Guo.”
“How’s your big brother’s health recently?” Guo Dingsong asked.
“It’s still the same. There’s not much improvement.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were filled with worry. “But he’s not as tired as before. Fortunately, he has people who can help him.”
“Your big brother is a bit like Hanyu. He’s so stubborn and won’t listen to any advice.”
Guo Dingsong felt a little emotional. “The only thing that Hanyu is better at than your big brother is his good luck.”
Sang Qianqian had been resurrected and had even become Hanyu’s girlfriend. Alas, Ruan Cheng wasn’t as lucky as Shen Hanyu.
After the meal, Guo Dingsong arranged for Guo Muyang to send Ruan Xiaoshuang back to the Martial Arts school. “I might not have time to entertain you these two days. You don’t know, but Hanyu gave me a mission. Therefore, I can’t leave.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said softly, “Uncle Guo, please do what you need to do. I’ve been here many times, so you don’t have to specially entertain me. Moreover, I’m also tired from working in Beijing. Coming to Ming City is like a vacation, so I can take a walk around by myself.”
She was very understanding and was really very gentle. Sang Qianqian watched her intently until she and Guo Muyang got into the car and left.
“Still looking? They’ve all left.”
The man beside her said meaningfully, “You like her that much?”
Sang Qianqian laughed. “She’s a girl. What’s wrong if I look at her?”
Shen Hanyu pursed his thin lips. Was she that interested in Ruan Xiaoshuang?
She clearly didn’t hide her fondness and affection for her, and it was almost overflowing from her eyes.
Guo Dingsong, who was standing at the side, laughed. “The both of you were looking at each other so much at the dining table. If you weren’t both girls, I would have suspected that you two had fallen for each other.”
Sang Qianqian was also amused. “She’s really very gentle. If I were a man, I definitely would’ve fallen for her.”
Guo Dingsong seemed to have thought of something. Alas, he sighed and did not say anything.
Shen Hanyu had to go to the office. He looked at Sang Qianqian and said, “I’ll go to Yushui Bay to find you tonight.”
Sang Qianqian nodded her head. “Okay, sure.”
She had thought that she would only meet Ruan Xiaoshuang once.
To her surprise, Ruan Xiaoshuang came to the school in person that night to look for Sang Qianqian.
