176 The Last Encounter on a Snowy Night
Shen Hanyu gave her a meaningful look. “You don’t want to be with me and yet you still gave yourself to me? Qianqian, if you had told me this a few days ago, perhaps it would have been more believable.”
Sang Qianqian felt a little uncomfortable. “I just can’t stand you ignoring me. Besides, we’re both adults. Isn’t it normal for us to do that?”
Shen Hanyu laughed. “Qianqian, are you the one who doesn’t understand yourself or me? You still need to improve your ability to deceive people. At the very least, you have to look me in the eye. Don’t try to avoid my gaze.”
He paused for a moment. “Also, about the household register, remember to inform your father in advance next time. Otherwise, it’ll be easier for others to expose you.”
Sang Qianqian was stunned. “You knew?”
“I knew four days ago.”
Shen Hanyu said calmly, “Your father said that you might give me a surprise. I’ve been waiting patiently.”
Sang Qianqian did not know what to feel. “Since you already know, then all the more you should know that I don’t want to register our marriage.”
She looked up. “Hanyu, I admit that I wanted to break up with you because of that nightmare. However, it’s not that I’m afraid of implicating you. Rather, i’ve had enough.”
Her voice was very soft. “Ever since I met you, I’ve been having nightmares. I had a good life in the five years when I left Ming City. Although I was busy, I was happy. However, ever since I got together with you, I started to be haunted by nightmares again. During the few days when you were seriously injured and unconscious, I had nightmares every day and couldn’t sleep at all. At that time, I thought that perhaps what the dream said was right. I shouldn’t have liked you at all. If I break up with you, then maybe we’ll both be better off.”
Shen Hanyu slowly released his grip on the girl’s waist. The light in his eyes flickered, dark and indescribable, and his heart ached as if it was suffocating.
That dream was indeed too strange, and it had indeed caused Sang Qianqian a lot of trouble.
He could not refute her reason for breaking up.
“Qianqian,” Shen Hanyu’s voice was unusually low and hoa.r.s.e. “Gve me a little more time. Trust me, I will not let that dream repeat itself in reality.”
“Hanyu, I believe that you can protect me.”
The girl’s eyes reddened. “However, I’m really under a lot of pressure. I’m in fear every day and I can’t sleep well. I just want to go back to my peaceful life. I don’t have any other requests. Hanyu, let’s stop here.”
“Stop here?”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were filled with coldness and anger. “Sang Qianqian, you married and broke up with me just like that. Is your love so cheap?”
Sang Qianqian held back her tears. “I’ve always been like this. When I like something, I’ll do my best. But when I don’t want it anymore, I’ll never be reluctant to leave. Shen Hanyu, you should have known about this five years ago.”
She turned around and strode away. A taxi happened to be parked by the side of the road. She got into the car without looking back and left.
Shen Hanyu closed his eyes. He could not control the violent emotions that were about to burst through his chest.
Of course, he knew how heartless she could be when she didn’t want it.
Five years ago, she had even faked her death to avoid him.
However, this time, she was the one who took the initiative to come to his side and agreed to marry him.
He really didn’t want to let go.
—
Sitting in the taxi, Sang Qianqian’s tears fell like a broken string of beads.
“Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?”
The taxi driver glanced at her from the rearview mirror. “Is that your boyfriend’s car?”
Sang Qianqian was slightly shocked. She wiped away her tears and turned around to take a look.
Shen Hanyu’s car was indeed following the taxi.
Thinking back to the dream where Shen Hanyu refused to break up with her no matter what, Sang Qianqian felt a little uneasy.
He was too stubborn when it came to relationships. Sang Qianqian knew that he would not let go so easily.
What she said just now was just a gamble.
She was betting that Shen Hanyu couldn’t bear to see her suffer and be tortured by nightmares every day.
Back in Yue city, he clearly liked her so much, but he still promised to withdraw from her life.
She had never doubted Shen Hanyu’s love for her.
When one loved someone to the extreme, one would not bear to hurt them.
Just like how she treated Shen Hanyu, just like how Shen Hanyu treated her.
She believed that Shen Hanyu would eventually let her go.
When they arrived at the sang family’s villa, Shen Hanyu’s car was parked outside. However, he did not get out of the car.
She walked up the steps, pushed open the door of the villa, and was about to enter the house.
The car behind her let out a low roar and left.
