130 Why Don’t We Get Married?
In the afternoon, Sang Qianqian had asked Yun Li out for dinner after she finished performing acupuncture on Shen Hanyu.
Yun Li’s eyes sparkled when she saw Shen Hanyu. “Is this your new boyfriend?”
Sang Qianqian grinned and said, “Yes.”
“Not bad, you’re pretty fast.”
Yun Li was sincerely happy for Sang Qianqian. “In my opinion, the heavens set you two up by letting you meet that sc.u.mbag Xie Shi’an. Afterward, your escape to Ming City to avoid gossip ended up being the place where you met your true boyfriend. He’s levels better than Xie Shi’an!”
She looked Shen Hanyu up and down with an appreciative look. “I haven’t asked you what your name is.”
Shen Hanyu told her his name.
“What’s your job?” Yun Li was doing a household check.
“I’m working at Phoenix Technology,” Shen Hanyu replied.
“Oh,” Yun Li replied, then asked in confusion, “Why does your name sound so similar to your company’s president? He’s also called Shen Hanyu.”
She was a financial reporter, so she was familiar with the names of the famous bigshots in the country.
Sang Qianqian couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s because he is the president.”
Yun Li was dumbfounded, and then she shouted, “Oh my G.o.d, Qianqian, you actually got Shen Hanyu to be your boyfriend! Don’t you know that he’s my idol? He’s every financial reporter’s dream interview!”
She looked at Shen Hanyu with bright eyes and asked carefully, “President Shen, if you have time, can I do an interview with you? I know you’ve always kept a low profile. We don’t have to use photos, we can just report in text…”
Shen Hanyu looked at Sang Qianqian and did not reject her. “Sure, but we have to return to Ming City tomorrow morning.”
“Can I go to Ming City to find you? I’ll contact Qianqian then and see when is a convenient time for you.” Yun Li said excitedly.
“Sure,” Shen Hanyu agreed.
Yun Li jumped up as if she had won a five million Yuan prize. She turned around and hugged Sang Qianqian, excitedly running around in circles and even kissing her on the cheek.
“Oh my G.o.d, Qianqian, you’re my lucky star! I love you! I love you! I love you to death!”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened, and he suddenly regretted agreeing to Yun Li’s interview.

After the meal.
Yun Li maintained the self-awareness and sobriety of a single dog and immediately ran away. “I won’t interfere with your date. See you in Ming City!”
Seeing that it was still early, Sang Qianqian asked Shen Hanyu, “Do you want to watch a movie?”
It seemed that men and women who were on a date would go to the cinema to watch a movie. It was the same with Xie Shi’an last time.
Shen Hanyu looked at her. “Do you want to go?”
Sang Qianqian hesitated for a moment. “To be honest, I don’t really want to. But if you want to go, I can accompany you.”
The last time she came out of a movie with Xie Shi’an, she almost got into a car accident. That occurrence had left her with a small trauma.
“I don’t want to.” Shen Hanyu held her hand, his eyes gentle. “I’ll take you somewhere else.”
In the past, he had accompanied Xia Sitong to the movie theater and really didn’t like the atmosphere there. It was closed, crowded, and too noisy.
He was more willing to be alone with Sang Qianqian.
Sang Qianqian didn’t expect that Shen Hanyu would bring her to the beach.
That time, when he had rushed over from Yuecheng and found out she wasn’t dead at all, he had asked her to accompany him for a walk, and this was where they had gone.
When he asked her how she was doing and even hugged her before sending her to the car, his eyes were so gentle that they had made her heart palpitate.
However, at that time, she didn’t believe that Shen Hanyu liked her, so she did not dare to think too much about it.
Under the night sky, the sea breeze was gentle as it blew against the beach. The silver moonlight covered the surface of the sea, glimmering beautifully against the dark.
Sang Qianqian allowed Shen Hanyu to hold her hand as they strolled on the beach. She was in an unexpectedly good mood.
When she went to Yuecheng in the past, she had come to this beach a lot, but she had never felt like this.
For some reason, there was a little sweetness and joy, as well as a trace of stability and peace of mind.
Shen Hanyu looked at the girl and suddenly asked, “How did you break up with Xie Shi’an?”
It seemed that everyone who was familiar with Sang Qianqian had a lot of opinions about Xie Shi’an.
Wen Xu said that Xie Shi’an had hurt her deeply and asked Shen Hanyu to treat Sang Qianqian better. On the other hand, Sang Pengcheng had repeatedly urged that even if they were to break up in the future, they should part on good terms.
As for Yun Li, she directly called Xie Shi’an a sc.u.mbag, and her words seemed to contain deep hatred.
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips. “Xie Shi’an pursued me for four years, but the day after I agreed to be with him, he resigned and disappeared. He didn’t even tell me about the breakup. The hospital was in chaos at that time…”
“Everyone was looking at me with strange expressions, and there was a lot of gossip behind me. At that time, I was quite depressed. I thought that maybe something was wrong with me, otherwise…”
She looked at Shen Hanyu and said softly, “Otherwise, why would the person I liked refuse to like me? Why would the person who liked me disappear as soon as we got together…”
At that time, she had really doubted herself, wondering if there was really something wrong with her. All these years, she had only attracted rotten peach blossoms, but she couldn’t keep what she wanted.
Shen Hanyu stopped in his tracks and looked down at the girl with a complicated expression. There was guilt, heartache, and pity.
“Qianqian, it’s not your fault. It’s because I didn’t understand feelings at that time.”
His voice was hoa.r.s.e and low. “By the time I finally understood what it meant to like someone, it was too late…”
He could only face her grave and express his feelings for her.
“Then why didn’t you tell me you liked me when you came to Yuecheng and discovered I was still alive?”
Sang Qianqian thought of what Shen Hanyu had said back then and couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you promise me that you would never step into my life again?”
He had liked her for five years, and because of that, he had suffered from headaches and insomnia. However, when he saw her, he didn’t say a word. He didn’t even reveal anything and really turned around to return to Ming City.
If she hadn’t taken the initiative to look for him because of Wen Xu’s matter, they would still be strangers by now.
“In those five years, all I wanted was for you to live.”
The sea breeze blew, making the man’s voice a little m.u.f.fled. “You were living well in Yuecheng. You didn’t like me back then, so I didn’t want to add more to your plate. I only hoped for you to live happily.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart softened. “Shen Hanyu, you’re so silly. You didn’t even try yet, but you already gave up?”
How did he know that she wouldn’t like him again?
Shen Hanyu gazed at her for a long time, his dark eyes filled with gentleness and love. “Yes, I was silly. Fortunately, I found a good wife.”
Sang Qianqian blushed. “Don’t call me that. We’re still far from that step.”
“Qianqian, why don’t we get married?”
Shen Hanyu said gently, “If you’re willing, we can get married when we return to Ming City, okay?”
He had liked her for five years, and he missed her to the core. He had faced long and difficult years,thinking there was no hope to see her again.
Now that she had finally become his girlfriend, he still felt uneasy. He was afraid that one day, she would suddenly break up and disappear from his world again.
A piece of paper might not be able to bind feelings, but it was proof of their relationship.
At this moment, he really had a humble hope. He wanted to place his hopes on a marriage contract to make her stay by his side forever.
