131 Don’t Come Over(1)
Sang Qianqian was slightly stunned. She was willing to be with Shen Hanyu, but getting married…
Dating was easy, but marriage was something undoubtedly more serious. They would be entrusting their entire lives and lending a hand to each other until they grew old together.
Sang Qianqian was willing to be Shen Hanyu’s girlfriend, but she had no intention of getting married yet. To her, marriage seemed to be a little far away.
The words that she wanted to say were on the tip of her tongue.
Looking into Shen Hanyu’s eyes, Sang Qianqian could not say a word.
“Shen Hanyu, why didn’t you try to get a girlfriend in the past five years?”
Sang Qianqian glanced at him and changed the topic.
With a girlfriend, he might’ve been able to help himself walk out of his past obsessions. He wouldn’t have been troubled by insomnia and headaches for so long.
“I didn’t want to,” Shen Hanyu said lightly.
Sang Qianqian’s emotions were a little complicated. “What if I really died? You can’t keep holding onto the past…”
“What’s wrong with guarding the past?”
Shen Hanyu looked at her with a gentle light in his eyes. “Besides, you’re worth my time.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
The sea breeze blew quietly. The two of them held hands and walked slowly along the sea.
They were both thinking about their own matters, but there was a silent and peaceful tacit understanding.
Sang Qianqian did not give an answer to Shen Hanyu’s question, but Shen Hanyu didn’t ask further.
Perhaps it was too early for her to get married now. Then, he would wait a little longer.
—
The next morning, Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian returned to Ming City.
That night was Guo Dingsong’s 50th birthday. Shen Hanyu drove Sang Qianqian back to Yushui Bay to pick Shen Shaofeng up.
When they saw Shen Shaofeng, both of them were slightly surprised. Shen Shaofeng was no longer on a wheelchair. Instead, he was standing.
“Are you surprised?”
Shen Shaofeng looked at their expressions with satisfaction and walked a few steps with a smile. “I can walk like a normal person now. I even went to the park yesterday and there was no problem at all.”
“Uncle Shen didn’t tell Brother Hanyu these past few days because he wanted to give you and Qianqian a surprise,” Xia Sitong, who was standing behind him, said with a smile.
This was the first time Sang Qianqian had seen her after Xia Sitong had left the hospital. She couldn’t understand how Xia Sitong could pretend like nothing had happened and smile without any ill feelings.
Shen Hanyu’s eyes swept over Xia Sitong without saying anything.
He opened the car door and said to Shen Shaofeng, “Can you get in the car by yourself?”
Shen Shaofeng glanced at him. “What do you think?”
Nimbly getting into the car, he turned around and called out to Xia Sitong, “Didn’t you say that you’re coming with me to Dingsong Martial Arts Center? Aren’t you going to get in the car?”
Xia Sitong replied and quickly got into the car. Sang Qianqian raised her eyes to look at Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu immediately understood what she meant. He held her hand gently and explained in a low voice, “In the past years, only my dad and I went to pay our respects.”
Xia Sitong had been there once, saying she didn’t like the atmosphere there. After that, she didn’t want to go there anymore.
Shen Hanyu didn’t know why she suddenly wanted to go this year.
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips and did not say anything.
The group of people quickly arrived at Dingsong Martial Arts Center. It was very lively in the building.
The front hall and backyard were filled with guests.
Sang Qianqian had attended many grand birthday banquets, but this was the first time she had seen so many people of all levels of status sitting together in peace, chatting and laughing.
Guo Dingsong’s social circle was indeed large; It covered all sorts of people.
“Go back and tell your big brother not to give me such a gift again.”
In the living room, Guo Dingsong was talking to Ruan Xiaoshuang. “I’m a rough person, and these gifts are too delicate. I might break them if I don’t handle them well.”
Xie Shi’an said respectfully, “I didn’t pick a good gift. Please forgive me, Uncle Guo.”
“It’s not that the gift is bad, it’s just that these things are too expensive.”
Guo Dingsong sighed. “I’m really not worthy of it.”
The Ruan family’s congratulatory gift this time was actually 18 types of weapons carved out of high-quality Jade, each of which was equal to the proportion of real weapons.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that each of them was worth a city.
“We will never forget Uncle Guo’s help toward the Ruan family when we were in danger.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said in a soft voice, “These gifts are really nothing. Big Brother said that they can’t even express one-ten-thousandth of his grat.i.tude to Uncle Guo.”
Guo Dingsong waved his hand. “Why bring up the past? Anyway, go back and tell your brother that he must come to give me a welcome for my birthday next year. If he still gives me such a gift, I really won’t let you in…”
