86 A Long and Arduous Road in Chasing His Wife
Sang Qianqian was stunned and Wen Xu was speechless. “Tianyi, what are you saying? Last time, my sister called Shen Hanyu to plead for the Wen family, but he didn’t even answer her call.”
“Just because he didn’t take it doesn’t mean he won’t remember old times.”
Han Tianyi grabbed Sang Qianqian’s hand and said, “Qianqian, Shen Hanyu once stayed by your grave for seven days and seven nights. He even fainted and was sent to the hospital. Shen Hanyu likes you, and he will never reject any of your requests!”
On the day of Sang Qianqian’s death, Han Tianyi went to her funeral. As he was leaving, he saw Shen Hanyu standing in front of her grave and not leaving.
Seven days later, Han Tianyi and Wen Xu were supposed to celebrate Sang Qianqian’s seventh birthday, so he couldn’t sleep that night. The next morning, Han Tianyi went to the cemetery first.
However, he saw the ambulance parked at the cemetery gate with a boy around his age standing anxiously beside it.
Han Tianyi heard the doctor’s voice as he said to the boy, “He didn’t sleep, rest, eat, or drink for seven days and seven nights in front of the grave. Even if he’s young and in good health, he shouldn’t have tormented himself like this!”
Afterward, the ambulance quickly drove away. Han Tianyi didn’t see who the patient was, but he remembered the boy’s face.
Three years later, when the Han family was in trouble, his father, Han Shangrong, brought him to Phoenix Technology to beg Shen Hanyu to spare their family.
At that time, the Phoenix’s Vice President, Guo Muyang, personally came out to receive them. Han Tianyi then realized that the anxious-looking boy in front of the cemetery was Guo Muyang.

“But you didn’t see the patient clearly, did you?”
Wen Xu found Han Tianyi’s speculation unbelievable; He didn’t believe him at all. “You only saw Guo Muyang. How can you be so sure the person who was taken away by the ambulance was Shen Hanyu?”
“It’s him, I’m definitely not mistaken.”
“Before my family went bankrupt,” Han Tianyi said with certainty, “I went to visit Qianqian’s grave for two consecutive years on her death anniversary. I would meet Shen Hanyu every time I went there. Moreover, the cemetery staff said that once he arrived, he would sit in front of Qianqian’s grave for a long time!”
Han Tianyi used to like Sang Qianqian as well. He could see the sadness in Shen Hanyu’s eyes when he looked at Sang Qianqian’s photo on the tombstone.
“That’s because my sister saved him. Due to that, he feels that he owes her.”
Wen Xu scoffed. “You don’t know how my sister pursued him back then. She really lowered her stance and treated him as well as she could, but what about him? He was extremely cold to my sister and didn’t even bother saying a word to her. Scratch that, he didn’t even want to look at her. If he really likes my sister, hehe, that would be the biggest joke in the world!”
Sang Qianqian felt the same way as Wen Xu. How was that possible? How could Shen Hanyu like her?
If he liked her even a little, he wouldn’t have been so cold to her back then. Later, she tried her best to make up for her past actions, and Shen Hanyu’s att.i.tude towards her finally changed. However, it was still impossible for him to have any feelings for her.
Sang Qianqian really didn’t dare to think about it.
“Tianyi, you’ve really got it all wrong.”
Sang Qianqian said helplessly, “Shen Hanyu misunderstood the Sang family back then, and I happened to save him. He only feels nothing but guilt towards me; Guo Muyang told me that himself.”
Han Tianyi was extremely disappointed. “So, in the end, you just won’t help me plead with Shen Hanyu?”
Sang Qianqian was silent for a moment. “Even if I went to Shen Hanyu to plead for mercy, I’m afraid it’ll be useless…”
She had already paid enough to plead for the Wen family. If she pleaded for Tianyi… She didn’t know what she would have to do to persuade Shen Hanyu.
She could afford to pay the price, but she didn’t think it was worth it.
“I knew it would be like this.”
Han Tianyi’s expression was a little sad and self-deprecating. “Qianqian, if it was Wen Xu who was in my place, I’m sure you would’ve had a different att.i.tude.”
Sang Qianqian was silent, unable to say anything. She remembered that in her nightmare, she went to Shen Hanyu to plead for mercy after Wen Xu was framed and imprisoned.
Unfortunately, the Shen Hanyu in her dream wasn’t as easy to talk to as he was in reality, and she fell into the abyss of death.
Han Tianyi turned around, as if he didn’t want to see Sang Qianqian and Wen Xu anymore. His voice was unusually dejected. “You guys should leave. Don’t come back again.”
They had once grown up together, and their family backgrounds were similar. But now, he was a prisoner while Wen Xu and Sang Qianqian were still the same as before– they could still be intimate with each other.
Only he himself knew this deep bitterness and disappointment.
—
She had wanted to visit Han Tianyi, but she didn’t expect to part with him on bad terms. After leaving the detention center, Sang Qianqian remained silent the entire way.
“We’ve done everything we can and should for him, so have a clear conscience.”
“Sister, you don’t have to blame yourself,” Wen Xu said calmly. “And don’t look for Shen Hanyu. There’s no need to.”
Sang Qianqian nodded. Even without Wen Xu’s reminder, she wouldn’t have brought this up to Shen Hanyu.
Wen Xu was driving in silence when he suddenly said, “If one day I end up in Tianyi’s situation, don’t go to anyone for help, especially Shen Hanyu. I will bear the consequences of my own actions.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart tightened and she had a bad feeling. “What are you saying? You will never be like Tianyi. Wen Xu, you’re not allowed to say such things in the future.”
“Alright, I won’t.”
Wen Xu laughed. “Sister, did Shen Hanyu really stay by your grave for seven days and seven nights?”
Sang Qianqian lowered her eyes guiltily. “I-I don’t know either…”
“Maybe he really did.”
Wen Xu recalled the day in the cemetery when Shen Hanyu had ordered people to dig up graves. “But I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death.”
At most, it was just his sister’s guilt.
Sang Qianqian didn’t want to talk about Shen Hanyu. “Yun Li said she’ll arrive at the airport a little late. I still have something to do at school, so can you go and pick her up? After I’m done, I’ll go to Cloud Sea Restaurant to find you.”
“Sure.” Wen Xu didn’t refuse.
—
Sang Qianqian was done with school matters and was about to meet Wen Xu and Yun Li at Cloud Sea Restaurant.
Suddenly, Guo Muyang called again. “Miss Sang, I’m outside your school.”
When Sang Qianqian rushed out of the school, she saw Guo Muyang standing in front of a brand new white Porsche Palamera with a smile on his face. It was obvious he was in a much better mood than last night.
“Vice President Guo, what’s the matter?” she quickly walked over.
“Miss Sang, it’s too tiring for you to take a taxi and run around every night.”
Guo Muyang handed her the car keys. “Hanyu won’t be able to send you home in the future. Miss Sang, you can use this car to drive back and forth.”
Sang Qianqian was slightly taken aback and rejected him directly, “It’s convenient enough for me to take a taxi.”
“But I don’t think I’ve ever talked to you about the payment for treating Hanyu, Miss Sang.”
Guo Muyang said, “This car is the advanced payment for the consultation.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless. “You can discuss the payment with Director Xue and the hospital; I really don’t need it.”
She looked at the time and said, “I’m sorry, I still have something to do. I’ll take my leave first.”
Guo Muyang was speechless. Fortunately, he didn’t say that it was a gift from Hanyu, or it would’ve been awkward. Indeed, Sang Qianqian had been pampered since she was young, so how could a simple car catch her eye?
It seemed that if Hanyu wanted to get her, he would have to find another way. However, Guo Muyang was very suspicious on how Shen Hanyu would pursue Sang Qianqian.
The road to chasing his wife was probably a long and arduous one.
