287 Trapping His Friend by Strength
Shen Hanyu was silent for a few seconds. “No. That’s why my mother never contacted the Zhen family for the past 18 years.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
What a courageous and resolute woman.
For love, she could actually be so determined.
She had run away from the place she grew up in and did not contact her parents and relatives for 18 years.
Sang Qianqian could not do that.
After a long while, Sang Qianqian asked softly, “Then, did your mother ever regret it?”
“I’ve never asked her whether she regretted it or not.”
Shen Hanyu said calmly, “But one time, when my mother was hospitalized due to a critical condition, I saw my father holding her hand and asking her if she regretted it with red eyes.”
“Then, what did your mother say?”
“My mother said that the doctor once determined that she would not live past 20 years old, but she was content to be able to grow up for a much longer time with me and my father. She also said…”
Shen Hanyu gave Sang Qianqian a meaningful look. “People have to make sacrifices. It’s not up to others to decide what’s more important. Only you know what’s best for you.”
Sang Qianqian was moved, but at the same time, she felt a little uncomfortable under Shen Hanyu’s strange and deep gaze.
“W-why are you looking at me like that?”
“If you’re wondering about my opinion on that,”
Shen Hanyu said slowly, “Qianqian, my mother’s words are my answer as well.”
Sang Qianqian blushed slightly and turned her face away. “I’m not thinking about that at all. I’m just curious how your parents ended up together. It’s none of my business what your opinion is.”
“Really?” Shen Hanyu’s lips curled up.
“Yup,”
Sang Qianqian was a little embarra.s.sed. She pulled the fluffy blanket over and turned to face the inside of it. “I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I’m a little tired and want to sleep for a while.”
She thought to herself, ‘Shen Hanyu, can you stop drawing conclusions based on the things I ask? It really makes me feel embarra.s.sed.’
Sang Qianqian did not plan to sleep at first, but after thinking about it for a while, and coupled with the fact that she had been really tired over the past few days, she fell asleep.
Perhaps because her position was a little uncomfortable, she subconsciously turned her body and turned her head to Shen Hanyu.
Half of her face was buried in the blanket, and her red lips were slightly pouted. Her hair was scattered, and there was an indescribable sweetness and cuteness to her.
As Shen Hanyu looked at her, he couldn’t help but kiss her gently.
If Sang Qianqian were to wake up and see the way Shen Hanyu was looking at her, perhaps she would also be deeply touched by the unfathomable gentleness and love in his eyes.
Shen Hanyu had never thought of himself as a gentle person.
There were even many times when his methods were extremely ruthless.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to reach where he was today in the treacherous business world, much less win against Ruan Cheng.
However, it was only when he was with Sang Qianqian that he would subconsciously hide all his bad sides from her.
Subst.i.tuting it was extreme patience, gentleness, and indulgence.
When he was forced to part with her, he spent the next few months in extreme depression.
Shen Hanyu didn’t even dare to let go of these extremely suppressed and turbulent emotions all at once. He could only try his best to hold it in, restrain it, and calm himself.
He was afraid that he would scare Sang Qianqian.
But even so, he found that his tolerance level seemed to have become much lower.
He only saw her joking around with other young male colleagues as a way to show that she didn’t want to make up.
The coldness at the bottom of his heart became restless, and he wanted to keep her by his side at all costs and regardless of the consequences.
However, once she smiled at him, even if it was just a soft call of his name, a concerned look, or even a lively expression, Shen Hanyu would immediately calm down.
People have said that if you love someone and your emotions are easily stirred up by them, then you’re probably facing a kind of illness.
Shen Hanyu must be beyond cure now.

When the plane landed, it was already past midnight.
Guo Muyang was waiting for them at the airport when he saw Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian walk down the plane’s ramp. He was a grown man, but his eyes were actually red.
“Why is there sand in the airport? It’s all in my eyes.”
Guo Muyang rubbed his eyes and mumbled to himself.
He waited until Shen Hanyu was in front of him and their eyes met.
Guo Muyang, who had always been calm and steady, couldn’t hold it in any longer. Like a teenager, he ran over and gave Shen Hanyu a tight hug.
His best brother, friend, and confidant. He had originally thought that he would not live long, but now he had suddenly appeared in front of him again, safe and sound. Who could understand the excitement and ecstasy he felt?
Shen Hanyu, who had never liked to have an intimate relationship with anyone other than Sang Qianqian, did not push him away either. He waited calmly for Guo Muyang to let go of him.
After carrying Shen Hanyu, Guo Muyang turned to Sang Qianqian, unable to hide his excitement and admiration. “Miss Sang, if it weren’t for Hanyu, I would have hugged you as well to express my admiration and respect for you. How can you be so powerful?”
So many famous doctors had said that there was no cure, but Sang Qianqian was actually able to find the antidote. How is she so amazing?
Sang held back her laughter. “You can do it too even if he’s around.”
Guo Muyang looked at Shen Hanyu and said, “Can I?”
“You can try,” Shen Hanyu said, his face expressionless.
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare,” Guo Muyang replied humbly.
There was probably only one result if he tried, and that was to die on the spot.
The three of them got into the car and were on the way to the hospital.
Guo Muyang asked, “How did Miss Sang get this antidote? Did you come up with it through your own research?”
He only knew that Shen Hanyu was fine after receiving a call from him today, but he didn’t know the inside story, so he was very curious.
“I don’t have that kind of ability.”
Sang Qianqian smiled, briefly explaining how she met Professor Fu’er and how she got the antidote.
“I see.”
Guo Muyang suddenly understood. He had been wondering why Hanyu had suddenly asked the Vice President of the company’s overseas branch to prepare fireworks and Christmas presents in the middle of the night. So it was for Sang Qianqian.
He looked at Shen Hanyu through the rearview mirror. “That’s why I said you shouldn’t have kept it from Miss Sang. You should’ve told her a long time ago. If you had done so, you wouldn’t have had to suffer for the past few months, and you wouldn’t have had to constantly be urged by your grandmother to have a child.”
“Guo. Mu. Yang,” Shen Hanyu said word by word.
Guo Muyang suddenly stopped talking.
“Urged to have a child?” Sang Qianqian’s sharp senses caught the main point. “What do you mean by that?”
“Ahem, it’s nothing,” Guo Muyang tried to change the topic. “Miss Sang, how’s your brother’s injury?”
Sang Qianqian did not fall for it. She looked at Shen Hanyu with her clear eyes. “Is it really what I’m thinking of right now? Your grandmother’s urging you to have a child?”
Shen Hanyu was speechless.
He didn’t want to answer, nor did he know how to answer, so he simply kept silent.
To Sang Qianqian, his silence meant tacit agreement. She blinked her eyes and seemed to be more curious than angry. “How did she urge you?”
He was a man. If he didn’t want to have children, what could Old Lady Zhen do?
