Chapter 409: Not That Simple
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The air in the car seemed to freeze as Sang Qianqian moved the window down.
The cool night breeze blew in, and she took a deep breath. The indescribable emotions in her heart gradually calmed down.
She felt that her att.i.tude was a little stiff just now.
He must be worried about her because of the person causing trouble behind the scenes.
To her, work and family were both essential. In a sense, Shen Hanyu and her future children were far more important than work.
Just as she was thinking about how to explain and apologize to him, the car turned into the courtyard.
They were home.
Shen Hanyu did not even look at her. He parked the car and got out of the car.
Sang Qianqian sighed. Well, he seemed to have quite a temper.
However, seeing that he was going on a long trip tomorrow, she would give in tonight and coax him.
Just as she was thinking about how to coax him, the car door beside her was pulled open.
Shen Hanyu leaned in and picked her up with an expressionless face.
“1 can walk on my own.” Sang Qianqian struggled.
It was just a superficial wound. How could she be so delicate that she can’t even walk from this?
Shen Hanyu ignored her and carried her into the house. He only put her down when they reached the bedroom.
“Sleep early.”
He left this sentence and was about to leave.
Sang Qianqian found him funny. “Where are you going?”
“There are some things 1 need to take care of,” He replied slightly,
“But my leg is injured. I can’t touch the water when I shower, so I’m going to need help.”
Sang Qianqian said, “Moreover, you’ll have to apply the medicine again later.”
Actually, she could handle all that herself, and she wouldn’t need any help at all. She was just being shameless.
Shen Hanyu looked at her deeply. In the end, he did not leave.
After Sang Qianqian finished bathing and applying medicine to her wound, Shen Hanyu had no intention of lying down with her.
He sat on the sofa and turned on his computer. “You sleep. 1’11 stay with you.”
Sang Qianqian felt like looking for trouble. “Your computer screen, it’s too bright. I can’t sleep.”
Shen Hanyu’s mouse movements paused.
When he said that he had something to deal with, he wasn’t lying to Sang Qianqian. He really had something to deal with.
However, the next second, he still closed the computer and turned off the small wall lamp by the bed.
The room was now pitch black. Sang Qianqian heard him say, “You can sleep now.”
She was a little annoyed. Why was this person so unromantic?
After holding it in for a while, she still didn’t hear anything else.
“Shen Hanyu!” Sang Qianqian couldn’t take it anymore.
In the darkness, he immediately answered, “I’m here.”
“1 need someone to accompany me to sleep.” Sang Qianqian said angrily.
Shen Hanyu was speechless.
A moment later, she heard the rustling of clothes being taken off, and he laid down beside her.
Just as the frustration in her heart dissipated a little, she realized that there was still some distance between them.
In the past, there was never any distance between the two of them because he would always hold her in his arms.
Sang Qianqian was even angrier now. “Shen Hanyu, are you trying to make me angry on purpose? Must you make me unable to sleep tonight?”
Shen Hanyu did not understand what she meant. “I’m not.”
“You’re still denying it.”
Sang Qianqian snorted. “You’re so far away from me because you don’t want me to fall asleep!”
Shen Hanyu was stunned.
He sighed softly and reached out to pull her into his arms. His deep voice was filled with helplessness and affection. “Is this okay?”
Sang Qianqian had never thought of herself as an unreasonable person.
But sometimes, when she faced Shen Hanyu, she could not help but throw a tantrum. “Why are you sighing? Do you find me annoying?”
“Why would 1?” Shen Hanyu said in a low voice.
“1 don’t believe it. You must be thinking…”
Before Sang Qianqian could finish her sentence, her lips were blocked.
She didn’t know how Shen Hanyu was able to locate her mouth in the dark. Anyway, she didn’t have the chance to say those words.
After a while, he let go of her and kissed her forehead again. His voice was hoa.r.s.e and gentle. “Be good and sleep.”
Her stifled emotions had long since dissipated, leaving only warmth and softness.
She leaned against him and asked softly, “1 remember that when 1 first went to the Xie family to treat Xiaodie, you didn’t agree either. At that time, it was mainly because of Shi’an. So now, why are you asking me not to go visit them today?”
In fact, Shen Hanyu must have had his reasons for saying that. She had lost her temper without even asking for a reason. She was too anxious.
As expected, he said slowly, “Ruan Xiaodie’s case may not be as simple as you think.”
Today, he had deliberately pushed back the company’s matters to pick Sang Qianqian up. It was because he would be leaving the capital tomorrow morning, but more importantly, he wanted to communicate with her about Ruan Xiaodie.
Sang Qianqian was surprised. “What do you mean? Is there a problem with Xiaodie?”
“I asked Fang Lan to go to the place where she used to live overseas and investigate her experiences over the years. She lived with her aunt and the person who took care of her at the beginning was Shao Jin.”
In the darkness, Shen Hanyu’s voice was calm and low. “At that time, Fang Lan found a few thick picture books in her aunt’s house. They were Ruan Xiaodie’s paintings.”
Sang Qianqian was surprised. “Are you sure Xiaodie drew it?”
Sang Qianqian had known Ruan Xiaodie for a long time, but she had never seen her drawing. Xie Shi’an also never mentioned anything regarding it.
Before she had fully recovered, she loved all kinds of toys. She loved building blocks, and Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian had played with her before.
Xie Shi’an had always treated her like a child and bought her a lot of children’s toys, including all kinds of brushes, but Ruan Xiaodie never painted anything.
Sang Qianqian always thought that Ruan Xiaodie simply didn’t know how to draw, or that she just didn’t like drawing at all.
Shen Hanyu nodded. “I’m sure. Every page of the diary is written in her own tone, and there’s also a little b.u.t.terfly signature.”
“In the alb.u.m, it records her daily life with Shao Jin. Shao Jin and Xie Shi’an were about the same age. He was very skilled and was sent abroad by Ruan Cheng at the age of 16 to protect her. Ruan Xiaodie was very dependent on him.”
Although she wasn’t in her right mind at that time, her brush and words still remembered her deep attachment to Shao Jin.
After he was brought back to the country by Ruan Cheng last year, there were many more words and doodles of longing in this alb.u.m.
Sang Qianqian remembered Shao Jin. His appearance and bearing weren’t inferior to Xie Shian’s, but he was much more decisive than the latter. Furthermore, he was also extremely loyal to Ruan Cheng.
Later, to help Ruan Cheng escape, he died on the top of East Mountain with Ruan Cheng.
However, it seemed normal for Ruan Xiaodie to rely on the person who took care of her.
Although she was already in her twenties, she still had the mentality of a child.
“Right now, Xiaodie is very dependent on Shi’an.”
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment.. “Do you think there’s something strange about those picture alb.u.ms?”
