208 I Can Explain
His hands were clenched so tightly that she could not break free.
He pulled Sang Qianqian out of the Ruan residence, where his car was parked.
The window of the back seat was lowered to the bottom. Fang Lan was looking in the direction of the Ruan family’s gate. Her long hair was blowing in the wind, and the red earrings on her ears made her look very beautiful.
Sang Qianqian subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Shen Hanyu held on even tighter.
“Shen Hanyu, let go,” she said in a low voice, frowning.
Shen Hanyu looked at her. “I won’t let go.”
Not only did he not loosen his grip, but he even changed the way he held it, intertwining his fingers with hers.
Sang Qianqian was exasperated.
This man really had no scruples. Was his moral bottom line so low?
On the other end, Fang Lan’s eyes lit up when she saw them coming out. She pushed the door open and got out of the car.
“You just came out? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Fang Lan smiled and opened the door of the driver’s seat. “I’ll drive, you guys sit in the back.”
Throughout the entire process, she seemed to have ignored Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian’s intertwined hands.
No matter how slow Sang Qianqian was, she could tell that Fang Lan and Shen Hanyu’s relationship was a little weird.
What kind of girlfriend would remain unmoved when she saw her boyfriend holding another woman’s hand?
Moreover, she and Shen Hanyu were once married. Wasn’t Fang Lan jealous at all?
Even after they got into the car, Shen Hanyu’s hand did not let go of hers. He was very close to her.
This distance made Sang Qianqian feel a sense of pressure. She silently inched towards the car window.
Shen Hanyu frowned unhappily. He pulled her over and said, “What are you running for?”
She was caught off guard and was pulled into his arms. When she straightened up in a hurry, her face and ears were red.
“Pfft.”
Fang Lan chuckled and glanced at Sang Qianqian through the rearview mirror. “Miss Sang, please stay closer to Hanyu. It must not have been easy for him to hold it in for so long.”
Sang Qianqian was stunned.
“Hanyu and I are good friends. We’re not a couple like you think.”
Fang Lan smiled and said, “I was going to tell you the truth at the bar last time. However, you refused to listen. Due to that, you’ve misunderstood me until now. Miss Sang, you’re the only one in Hanyu’s heart, so how could he fall for me?”
Sang Qianqian was silent as she looked up at Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu’s eyes were as dark as ink, and his emotions were deep.
Sang Qianqian suddenly thought of what her brother had said.
He said that if he didn’t come back, she should go to Shen Hanyu. “You don’t want him to get involved in this mess, but he’s already been involved.”
What were her brother and Shen Hanyu hiding from her?
Sang Qianqian did not say a word, and neither did Shen Hanyu. Fang Lan had explained what she needed to, so she drove away with peace of mind.
Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu got out of the car when they reached their residence.
Fang Lan seemed to have thought of something. “Miss Sang.”
Sang Qianqian looked back and saw Fang Lan’s mischievous smile. “Last time, you saw me come out with Hanyu. Do you know what he did the night before?”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips and looked at Fang Lan.
Fang Lan looked at her and found it fun to tease her, “He… He dragged me and tormented me for the whole night, and…”
Shen Hanyu’s face darkened. “Fang Lan!”
Fang Lan laughed. “I’ve been fixing technical bugs all night. I was so tired. He didn’t even let me rest in his house and took me to the airport to pick up people before dawn.”
With a serious expression, she said, “Miss Sang, you have to teach him a good lesson in the future. He should at least have some humanity and not be such an evil capitalist.”
After the car drove away, Fang Lan’s laughter still seemed to linger in the wind.
Sang Qianqian stood there quietly for a while, then moved her hand that was still being held by Shen Hanyu. “Can you let go now?”
After being held by him for so long and so tightly, her hand was a little painful now.
Shen Hanyu stared at her for a moment before loosening his grip. Sang Qianqian retracted her hand and turned to walk into the house.
Shen Hanyu lifted his long legs and followed behind her.
She b.u.mped into her chauffeur, Uncle Deng, who picked her up every day. He had just come from the direction of the garage. Upon seeing Shen Hanyu, he immediately stood up straight.
“President Shen, Miss Sang,” she said respectfully and carefully.
Uncle Deng should not have known Shen Hanyu, because they had never met.
But looking at his att.i.tude, not only did they know each other, but they were also quite familiar with each other.
He even addressed Shen Hanyu first before her.
Sang Qianqian walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Aunt Zhao came to open the door.
When she saw Shen Hanyu, she was not surprised at all. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised. “President Shen, you’re here,” she greeted him warmly. “Come in quickly, the meal is almost ready. You can have dinner with Miss Sang later.”
Sang Qianqian thought that Aunt Zhao must have known something, considering her att.i.tude toward Shen Hanyu.
So, was she the only one who had been kept in the dark from the start?
She took a deep breath and went upstairs to her bedroom.
When she was about to close the door, Shen Hanyu raised his hand to block it and said in a low voice, “Qianqian, I can explain.”
Sang Qianqian paused for two seconds before letting him in. She did have a lot of questions to ask Shen Hanyu.
The two of them sat on the sofa facing each other.
Sang Qianqian looked at him and asked in a calm tone, “Aunt Zhao and Uncle Deng, do they know you?”
“They do,” Shen Hanyu nodded.
“Does my brother know?”
“He knows.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart felt like it was being squeezed. Her brother had indeed colluded with Shen Hanyu to lie to her.
No wonder her brother had asked Shen Hanyu to pick her up when she was out on the streets the last time.
“How did you know that my brother got on the Ruan family’s plane?”
He came just in time, and he even brought the police with him.
Shen Hanyu looked at her. “He texted me and asked me to take good care of you.”
With Sang Minglang’s personality, he would never say such things normally.
Realizing that something might’ve happened to him, Shen Hanyu immediately called back, but his phone was already off.
He knew that Sang Minglang was in Yuecheng, and he should’ve been in the company at the time he sent the message.
Without hesitation, Shen Hanyu hacked into the surveillance system of the Sang family’s company building.
After that, he saw the scene of Sang Minglang on the roof, boarding the helicopter.
Shen Hanyu’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, Sang Qianqian’s dream wasn’t just a dream. It was more like a prophecy.
Step by step, they seemed to be walking into the dream.
Shen Hanyu hurried down the stairs and was about to go to the hospital to find Sang Qianqian.
However, he received a call from Uncle Deng, saying that Sang Qianqian had followed Xie Shi’an to the Ruan residence.
Shen Hanyu’s expression changed. That was how he barged into the Ruan family’s residence with the police.
—
Sang Qianqian’s eyes reddened at the thought of her brother.
After a few seconds of silence, she said in a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, “My brother said that you were already involved in this. Since when were you involved?”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened, and he hesitated for two seconds before deciding to tell the truth. He really didn’t want to hide it from Sang Qianqian anymore.
The whole time this plan was in play, he had no choice but to restrain himself as he looked at her in front of him. He pretended to distance himself from her. He had no reason to hug her or even touch her.
This was not a feeling that humans could endure. He held it in so much that he was about to go crazy.
Sang Qianqian waited for a moment. Then, Shen Hanyu’s extremely quiet voice rang out in the quiet room.
He said, “Ever since you and your brother came to Beijing.”
