198 She Really Couldn’t Understand Him
“How long do you plan to walk?”
When Sang Qianqian heard this voice, she looked up and saw Shen Hanyu.
She stared at him in a daze for a while, and for some reason, she felt like she was being choked.
She had no idea why Shen Hanyu was here. She didn’t know why he was asking her this.
However, in this state of mind, it seemed that everyone was particularly fragile. When she saw him, her tears could not stop falling.
She lowered her eyes and tried to control her emotions. “President Shen, what a coincidence.”
“Get in the car. Your brother asked me to pick you up,” Shen Hanyu said.
“My brother has returned to Ming City.”
Sang Qianqian subconsciously said, “So how could he…”
“Why would he call you?”
Her brother didn’t know that she was wandering on the streets. Even if he did, he would not have asked Shen Hanyu to pick her up.
“He called me because he’s back in Ming City.”
Shen Hanyu said calmly, “Get in the car first. We can’t stay here for long.”
Sang Qianqian looked at him, and many images flashed through her mind.
Shen Hanyu was injured and unconscious at the wedding. He was covered in blood as she held him in her arms.
In the hotel, Xie Shi’an had clearly said that the murderer was Ruan Cheng. At the entrance of the hospital, a car was about to hit her.
In the bar, Fang Lan had put her arm around Shen Hanyu’s shoulder and they whispered to each other.
Her thoughts turned back and forth, countless words that she wanted to say and words that she couldn’t say were all in a mess and blocked her heart.
After a long while, Sang Qianqian said softly, “I’ll go home by myself, so I won’t trouble you.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Suddenly, Shen Hanyu pushed the car door open and strode over with a dark face. He caught up with her in only a few steps.
The winter was very cold, but the aura on his body was even colder.
He stood in front of Sang Qianqian and said, “Sang Qianqian, my patience is limited. Do you want to get in the car yourself, or do you want me to help you?”
Sang Qianqian didn’t know what he meant by ‘help’, but she really didn’t want to get into Shen Hanyu’s car.
She couldn’t help but blame her brother for calling Shen Hanyu.
The two of them were silent for a moment.
Shen Hanyu suddenly reached out and carried Sang Qianqian in his arms.
Sang Qianqian’s body was suddenly suspended in the air, and she instinctively grabbed onto his clothes. “Shen Hanyu, what are you doing? Put me down!”
Shen Hanyu carried her in his arms expressionlessly and stuffed her into the car. He then closed the door with a ‘Bang!’
The force of the door wasn’t small, and it was obvious that it was emotional. Even the car shook slightly.
He sat in the driver’s seat and started the car without looking sideways.
The man’s expression was cold.
Sang Qianqian couldn’t understand where Shen Hanyu’s temper came from. Was it just because she didn’t want to get in the car?
However, with their current relationship, it was really inappropriate for her to get into his car.
The two of them didn’t speak, and the air in the car was unusually quiet. Soon, the car stopped in front of an exquisitely decorated restaurant.
Sang Qianqian finally turned to look at Shen Hanyu. “What are we doing here?”
“Let’s eat,” Shen Hanyu said indifferently.
She had left the hospital at around 10 in the morning, and it was almost 2 in the afternoon. He really didn’t know where she got the energy to walk for so long in such cold weather.
Sang Qianqian alighted from the car but didn’t follow him in. “I’ll go back first, then…”
Before she could finish, Shen Hanyu grabbed her hand and said, “Go back after eating.”
As he dragged her into the dining room, Sang Qianqian’s emotions were complicated. That night, when he was drunk, he kissed her and held her hand. It was fine, as he was just drunk.
But today, it was broad daylight and he hadn’t touched a single drop of alcohol. He also didn’t pay attention to keeping a distance from her. What was he doing?
“Shen Hanyu, don’t you think you’re letting Fang Lan down by doing this?”
Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks and said in a cold tone, “My brother only asked you to pick me up. He didn’t ask you to hold my hand and bring me to dinner. Aren’t you afraid that Fang Lan will find out?”
Shen Hanyu’s thin lips curved into a mysterious smile. “How about I call Fang Lan right now?”
Sang Qianqian looked at him in disbelief. “What are you trying to do?”
“Like I said, it’s just to have a meal.”
Shen Hanyu’s face was expressionless. “I’ll send you home after you finish eating.”
He pulled her into the dining room and finally let go of her hand. The two sat down face to face. Shen Hanyu asked her, “What do you want to eat?”
“Whatever,” Sang Qianqian replied, pursing her lips.
The man in front of her started to order the dishes that Sang Qianqian loved. Sang Qianqian realized that she really couldn’t understand Shen Hanyu.
However, no matter how much she didn’t understand, she didn’t dare to think deeply about it. Not only was the nightmare between them, but Fang Lan was also between them.
Moreover, Shen Hanyu was probably taking care of her today because of her brother’s request.
She shouldn’t have thought too much about it.
Sang Qianqian lowered her head and ate silently.
—
After they were done eating, Shen Hanyu sent her home. They still didn’t talk to each other.
When they arrived at the small courtyard, Shen Hanyu slowly said, “Why didn’t you go to work today?”
Sang Qianqian had always placed more importance on her work than anything else. To Sang Qianqian, it was extremely rare for her to be able to wander around aimlessly on the streets without working.
“I’ve been a little tired recently, so I took a day off to rest and walk around.”
Sang Qianqian then got out of the car and said, “Thank you for today, President Shen. Goodbye.”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes followed her until she entered the house. Of course, it wasn’t Sang Minglang who called him when he went to pick up Sang Qianqian.
It was her chauffeur who had contacted Shen Hanyu.
The driver had originally wanted to look for Sang Minglang, but he realized that Sang Minglang had returned to Ming City. Distant water couldn’t put out a nearby fire.
Moreover, the last time Sang Qianqian was sick, it was Shen Hanyu who stayed by her side the entire night. When Sang Minglang came back, not only did he not throw a tantrum, but he even sent him off politely.
According to Aunt Zhao, he seemed to be Sang Qianqian’s husband. The two of them might have had a conflict or something, so they were temporarily living separately.
Thus, although with a bit of hesitation at first, the chauffeur called Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu’s eyebrows twitched, and he rushed over without any delay.
Of course, he couldn’t say that it was the driver who told him, and could only use Sang Minglang’s name. It wasn’t too troublesome if the two of them had to unify their words later on.
However, when Sang Qianqian said she took a day off to rest, Shen Hanyu was doubtful.
He dialed Guo Muyang’s number. “Get Xue Chenghua to find out if there’s anything wrong with Qianqian’s work here.”
Not long after, Guo Muyang replied with a serious tone, “Hanyu, Miss Sang seems to have made a grave mistake and has been suspended for seven days. It’s said that it’s involved in the private use and abuse of hospital drugs. The specific situation is still under investigation, and there may be further follow-up measures.”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened. So she got a seven day suspension for abusing the hospital’s drugs. No wonder she was so depressed today.
However, with Sang Qianqian’s professional standards, she wouldn’t have made such a low-level mistake.
Shen Hanyu thought about the possible reason and drove away. After moving for a short while, he pa.s.sed by a car.
It was Xie Shi’an’s chauffeur.
From the rearview mirror, he could clearly see that Xie Shi’an’s car had stopped in front of the small courtyard where Sang Qianqian lived.
