136 See You Tonight, Hubby
Shen Hanyu was silent for a long time. He never thought about what he would do if Sang Qianqian really died. It would probably go on like this everyday for the past five years.
Shen Shaofeng had once tried his best to pull him out from the abyss he sunk himself in. However, he wasn’t willing to get out.
In fact, in the heart-piercing pain, he could occasionally find some sweetness. After all, Sang Qianqian had liked him before.
She was like an extremely bright shooting star, appearing in his life and then disappearing. However, for those who had seen a shooting star, they would never forget it.
The other lights paled in comparison to her. Therefore, he didn’t want to come out.
Every night, he would face those holograms of her even though he knew they weren’t real, even though he knew that reminiscing about the past would give him a terrible headache and make it difficult for him to sleep.
However, he was willing to do it. It was like he was addicted and couldn’t extricate himself. Just like that, he spent five years alone.
Five years had pa.s.sed, but the obsession in his heart had not lessened at all. Instead, it had become even more intense. If he did not meet Sang Qianqian again…
He would probably keep walking as far as his body could support him. Maybe, he would just live like this for the rest of her life.
Shen Hanyu stared at the girl. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he still did not answer her question.
He merely wiped away her tears and sighed. “Qianqian, it really wasn’t as bad as you think it was. Don’t cry.”
He really didn’t feel that bitter. Instead, he felt a little more hatred.
He wanted her to live, he wanted to go back to the past and treat her better. He wanted to make up for everything he had owed her.
Sang Qianqian cried even harder. The past five years had been too cruel for Shen Hanyu.
Whenever she thought about Shen Hanyu’s life, she would burst into tears like a broken tap.
If she had known that things would turn out like this, she wouldn’t have left him during those five years.
Shen Hanyu looked down at the girl in his arms, who was crying like a baby. He held her in his arms and comforted her silently.

After an unknown amount of time.
Sang’s tears finally stopped, and her eyes were red and swollen.
“There’s still 19 days before the acupuncture session ends and your illness will be completely cured. Hanyu,”
The girl’s voice was hoa.r.s.e from crying for so long. However, it was calm and firm. “Let’s get married when you recover.”
Shen Hanyu was stunned. He could not believe what he had just heard. “Qianqian, have you really thought it through?”
Sang Qianqian’s heart ached as she gently held his hand. “I’ve thought it through. I don’t want to wait any longer.”
The word ‘wait’ was too cruel for Shen Hanyu.
He had been waiting for her for five years. If he waited any longer, it would be unnecessary for him or Sang Qianqian.
There was no doubt about Shen Hanyu’s feelings for her.
She, on the other hand, had only fallen for Shen Hanyu when she was young. In the past five years, no one had ever truly entered her heart, not even Xie Shi’an.
This was until she met Shen Hanyu again.
Last night, she was still a little uncertain about her marriage and the person she wanted to entrust her life to, so she wanted to wait a little longer.
However, now that she knew about Shen Hanyu’s ‘secret’,
She was absolutely sure that no matter if she waited another five, ten, or fifteen years, it would be impossible for her to meet someone like Shen Hanyu, who loved her deeply and could make her heart flutter twice. So, it was better to get married now.
Shen Hanyu was shocked, and his eyes were filled with joy. However, after the ecstasy, it was calm as if he was peeling silk from a coc.o.o.n.
Shen Hanyu thought back to that day at the hospital. Xia Sitong said that Sang Qianqian had only agreed to be his girlfriend because she was touched by his actions.
Last night, she did not answer him when he mentioned that she wanted to get married.
But tonight, she was suddenly willing. Was it because she knew what had happened in the past five years, so she was touched and decided to marry him?
Although he had long been looking forward to this marriage. No matter why she was willing to get married, he would accept it without asking for the reason.
However, in the deepest part of his heart, he still had a faint hope that she would agree to marry him not because she was touched, but also because she was just as willing as he was.
However, he didn’t even dare to ask Sang Qianqian. If he asked, the reply he would get would be an answer he didn’t want to hear.
Thus, it would be better if he didn’t ask.

The next morning, Shen Hanyu sent Sang Qianqian to school.
As usual, Sang Qianqian was about to get out of the car when she turned around and met the man’s gentle gaze on her.
In the past, she had never looked back, so she naturally did not know that Shen Hanyu watched her get out of the car like this.
She closed the car door and sat back down. She moved closer to him. “Hanyu, come closer.”
Shen Hanyu didn’t understand. He leaned over slightly. “Why…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the girl held his face and planted a sweet and soft kiss on his lips.
“See you tonight, Hubby.”
Sang Qianqian’s voice was gentle and smiling. She turned around, pushed the car door open, and ran off.
Shen Hanyu’s heart was beating like a drum as he stared at the girl’s back in a daze. His breathing seemed to have stopped for a moment.
The touch of her kiss was still on his lips. Shen Hanyu raised his hand and caressed it gently.
His dark eyes finally couldn’t help but reveal a deep smile.

As the sky brightened slightly, Xia Sitong’s eyes jerked open, only to find herself lying in the embrace of a man, sleeping on the sofa in the office’s resting area.
There were all kinds of marks on her body, and their clothes were thrown on the ground, showing how intense last night had been.
Xia Sitong’s face was ashen as she pushed Han Tianyi away and jumped off the sofa. She grabbed her clothes and put them on.
Han Tianyi was awoken by her push. He looked at Xia Sitong with a gaze that was filled with love she had never seen before. “Sitong, last night…”
Xia Sitong grabbed a design book from the coffee table and threw it at Han Tianyi.
The four corners of the painting were hard and sharp, cutting Han Tianyi’s forehead. He grabbed Xia Sitong’s hand. “Sitong.”
“Why did you come to the studio last night?!” Xia Sitong shouted.
Han Tianyi said in a low voice, “Don’t you always say that I’m not good at my work? I’ve been working overtime in the office every night to see if I’ve missed anything…”
After coming out of prison, he really intended to start his life anew. Therefore, he cherished this opportunity to work.
In the past few days, he would always wait for everyone to get off work before coming to the office to work overtime. Who would’ve thought that he would b.u.mp into Xia Sitong by accident last night?
Xia Sitong was so angry that she grabbed the picture book again and threw it at Han Tianyi with all her might.
The painting fell to the ground. Han Tianyi bent down to pick it up and put it on the table.
He looked at Xia Sitong and said in a low voice, “Sitong, about last night, I… I’ll take
