95 You Can Take It if You Want, but Don’t Throw It Away
Sang Qianqian understood what Shen Hanyu meant. She could choose not to like him, but liking her was his business.
She couldn’t ask him not to like her unless he gave up on his own.
Sang Qianqian felt as if she was in a dream. It was even more shocking than the nightmare she had that day, and she felt even more fl.u.s.tered and helpless.
How could Shen Hanyu have feelings for her?
This seemingly impossible thing, which seemed like the sun rising from the west, had actually happened.
When Sang Qianqian returned home, she sat there for a long time in a daze. She got up and wanted to pour herself a gla.s.s of water, but the hot water overflowed and spilled down to her hand. She snapped out of her trance the moment the hot water hit her hand.
She realized that she was still… Quite weak.
She had already let go of Shen Hanyu many years ago, but she still felt uneasy when she heard what he said tonight. After all, he was the first person she had fallen for and the first person she had clumsily pursued using all her strength.
The final result wasn’t satisfactory, and could even be considered tragic.
After leaving Ming City, she didn’t know if it was because of that incident that had changed her so much. But she lost any expectations for love. As time pa.s.sed, she didn’t even know what the so-called ‘love’ was.
All these years, she couldn’t even remember how many people had chased after her.
When she heard those fancy, subtle, and pa.s.sionate confessions, her heart was as still as water. Instead, she felt more helpless. Even when she had agreed to be with Xie Shi’an back then, she had only calmly and actively chosen this beginning.
But tonight, Shen Hanyu hadn’t even confessed directly, but she had already lost her soul. Sang Qianqian’s gaze fell on the jewelry box in her hand, her feelings complicated.
Shen Hanyu had walked her downstairs and stuffed the jewelry box back into her hands. He said coldly, “I’ve never taken back the things I’ve given. You can take it if you want, but don’t throw it away.”
He left after saying this.
Sang Qianqian was really stumped for a long time. The main thing was that this thing was too expensive, and she couldn’t really throw it away.
She could only keep it for now and return it when there was a suitable opportunity.

The next night, Sang Qianqian and Wen Xu, who had just returned from a business trip, sent Yun Li off at Cloud Sea Restaurant.
Guo Muyang didn’t accept Yun Li’s interview last night, but Rong Ce had given her enough interview time.
The interview content she had received was enough to help her complete a report on an outstanding financial figure.
“My mission is finally completed.”
Yun Li was full of smiles. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll go back to Yuecheng to see our Chief Editor. This job can be considered saved.”
The meal lasted until after eight in the evening. As usual, Sang Qianqian made an excuse to leave.
Wen Xu was surprised. “Sister, aren’t you just going to further your studies? Why are there so many things happening in school?”
Yun Li was also a little dissatisfied. “I’m leaving tomorrow morning, but you won’t even accompany me to finish the meal.”
Sang Qianqian apologized. “Something came up at the last minute. I’ll definitely accompany you more the next time you come.”
“You’re the one who said it.”
“When I’m done with my work, I’ll definitely come to Ming City to play with you and Wen Xu,” Yun Li said with a smile.
“Again?”
Wen Xu was disgusted. “Next time you come, I won’t care about you.”
Yun Li glanced at him and wanted to say something, but she held back. “It’s fine. Even if you don’t care about me, you still have your sister.”
Wen Xu was surprised, “Why are you so easy to talk to today?” You’re not afraid of people anymore?”
“Didn’t I need your help to keep my job? I wouldn’t dare to diss you again.” Yun Li was all smiles.
She and Wen Xu sent Sang Qianqian downstairs. While Wen Xu was taking a call from the company, Yun Li leaned in and whispered into Sang Qianqian’s ear, “I hope I can hear good news about you and that mystery guest the next time I come.”
When Yun Li returned last night, she had asked who the mysterious guest from the auction was. Sang Qianqian had vaguely said that it was an old friend.
Yun Li didn’t know about her past with Shen Hanyu, and she only hoped Sang Qianqian would have a good ending with him.
“You’ve been away from Ming City for five years, but that person still remembers you and bought such an expensive diamond for you; It’s obvious that he really likes you. Qianqian, you have to make good use of this opportunity.”
Sang Qianqian laughed helplessly. How could she grasp this opportunity?
Shen Hanyu wasn’t someone she should like.
After saying goodbye to Wen Xu and Yun Li, Sang Qianqian took a taxi and headed straight for the Imperial Creek Terrace. Just as she got out of the car, a car suddenly came to a screeching stop beside her.
The car door opened and two tall men came out and quickly pulled her into the car. It only took a few seconds for the car to drive away.
Everything happened so quickly that Sang Qianqian had no time to react. She calmed herself down and quietly took out her phone from her bag. She wanted to make a call, but a middle-aged man beside her s.n.a.t.c.hed her bag, found her phone, and turned it off.
Sang Qianqian looked at the man in front of her, her heart sinking.
She knew this man. He seemed to be Ding Aojia’s bodyguard, Chang San.
Five years ago, at Shengshi Club, Ding Aojia had used Wen Xu’s injury as an excuse to trick her into going there. It was Chang San who had knocked her out.
“Chang San, do you know that what you’re doing is illegal?”
Sang Qianqian said calmly, “You’d better let me go. Otherwise, not only will you get yourself into trouble, but you’ll also get Ding Aojia into trouble.”
“Miss Sang, since you know that I’m Miss Ding’s bodyguard, you should also know that I’m only following orders. I have no choice.”
Chang San’s att.i.tude was polite, even gentle. “If you cooperate with us, Miss Sang, everything will be fine. Otherwise, you’ll only suffer unnecessary pain. Don’t worry, my family’s Young Miss only has some things to say to you. Once she’s done, she’ll let you go.”
Sang Qian pursed her lips slightly. How could Ding Aojia only have a few things to say to her?
The place Chang San was taking her to was Shengshi Club.
Ever since the incident five years ago, Sang Qianqian had developed a psychological trauma towards this place.
She looked around the parking lot and calculated in her heart how she should run after getting out of the car and which direction she should run in to escape Chang San.
However, Chang San didn’t give her the chance. Before she could get out of the car, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and fainted.
When she woke up, Sang Qianqian was already in a private room. On the bed, her hands and feet were tied.
Ding Aojia stood coldly by the bed and looked down at her. Sang Qianqian closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Ding Aojia, didn’t you already learn from five years ago?”
“Don’t mention what happened five years ago. You ruined my marriage and Han Tianyi beat me up because of you. I’ll remember that for the rest of my life!”
Ding Aojia’s eyes were full of resentment. “This time, I’ll settle the old and new scores together. I won’t show you any mercy.”
Even if the auction hadn’t happened last night, she would not have let Sang Qianqian off this time. It was just that the auction had caused her to bring forward the time of her revenge!
Sang Qianqian’s face was extremely pale. “Ding Aojia, what are you trying to do?”
Ding Aojia smiled viciously. “Do you know who will be coming here later? The president of Longxing Real Estate, Long Junzhe. Don’t worry, he’ll treat you well tonight.”
