149 Let’s Stop Here

That night, Shen Hanyu drank a lot and was quite drunk. But it wasn’t to the extent of not knowing what he was doing.

Other than being tipsy, perhaps, there were other indescribable feelings.

Ever since he and Sang Qianqian started living together, she behaved as good as she could to him. She was quiet and docile around him.

Shen Hanyu knew that she didn’t know how to cook in the beginning. She wasn’t even familiar with washing and cutting vegetables.

Every time she cooked, she would follow videos on the internet and patiently follow the instructions step-by-step. Whenever she finished cooking, she would always have to add more bandages to her fingers.

She had once been pampered by her family, and her fingers had never been sullied by housework. But now, she was always busy in the kitchen after work.

On the weekends, she would get up early to make breakfast for him. Afterward, she would carefully ask him what he would like to eat for lunch and dinner.

At first, he just told her not to trouble herself as there would be an hourly worker to do it. However, she was surprisingly persistent.

In the end, he still answered. Her eyes brightened a little with a little joy.

In less than a month, she had figured out what he liked. Every time he came back, the table would be filled with his favorite dishes.

Shen Hanyu was touched by her affection for him. Back then, Sang Qianqian had said that she wanted to be with him even without a status.

Shen Hanyu had never really thought about doing anything with her. But that night, he took the initiative to cross the boundary the both of them had never crossed.

After that, it was difficult to restrain himself.

He had thought that it was only because he had been abstinent for so many years that he was so addicted and couldn’t extricate himself after he had finally gotten a taste of her.

However, when he deliberately went to Shengshi Club, a beautiful and voluptuous young woman snuggled up to him in silky, alluring clothes. What he felt in his heart was only indescribable disgust.

The feeling was so strong that his face darkened, and he got up to leave.

When he got home and saw Sang Qianqian busy in the kitchen, he smiled at her in pleasant surprise.

All the emotions in his heart seemed to have been silently smoothed out by an invisible hand like the spring breeze and rain. All that was left was a rare tranquility, peace, and warmth.

He couldn’t help but move forward and pull her into his arms.

They lingered for a long time, unwilling to let go. For so many years, he had thought that he was cold enough in ‘that’ aspect.

However, he didn’t know that this kind of thing also depended on the person. He wasn’t numb; he just hadn’t met the woman he wanted.

At least for now, other than Sang Qianqian, he didn’t want to touch any other woman.

Shen Hanyu finally stopped working overtime every day. He returned home as early as possible and had dinner with her.

Sometimes, he would accompany her to the supermarket, just like what a normal couple would do, and they would buy a bunch of things home while talking and laughing.

In the process of all this, Sang Qianqian was still looking for her brother with great difficulty. Every time someone sent news about this, she would rush over even if she had to take leave.

Of course, he would arrange for a chauffeur to send her places, so that she wouldn’t be bullied like before.

There was once a time when Wen Xu called to say that someone had seen a person who looked like Sang Minglang in a small city outside the province.

The other party had originally wanted to take a video of the small city’s scenery, but had accidentally recorded someone’s figure and side profile.

That person’s side profile was indeed very similar to Sang Minglang’s.

Wen Xu accompanied her there and searched the small town for a few days.

Due to this, Sang Qianqian did not return home for four days.

Shen Hanyu had been suffering from insomnia for four days. The thought that she had been with Wen Xu for the past four days made him feel irrepressibly irritated.

On the fifth day, he called her and suppressed his emotions to ask when she would be home.

She said softly it would take a few days, but she wasn’t sure how many days it would take.

On the other end, Wen Xu called her to get in the car. She agreed and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Shen Hanyu held the phone in his hand, the pressure in his heart growing. He didn’t know what he was angry about.

It was not easy to endure until the eighth day.

She was finally back. She looked haggard, and she had lost a lot of weight. He didn’t ask her about the result of the trip, but he guessed that she didn’t get good results.

After all, it was impossible for her and Wen Xu to find Sang Minglang so easily. However, Shen Hanyu did not want to say anything more. He didn’t care if Sang Minglang could be found or not.

After being with Sang Qianqian for so long, he had never interfered in her matters, nor did he want to.

He only wanted her as a person. However, not long after, she once again left with Wen Xu. This time, she stayed outside for even longer.

She didn’t return for more than half a month. Shen Hanyu couldn’t take it anymore, so he went to her place to look for her.

He didn’t tell her when he went and went straight to the hotel she was staying at. After waiting for a long time, she came back with a sad expression.

Wen Xu tried to persuade her in a low voice as she cried. Wen Xu held her and gently stroked her back.

She buried her head in Wen Xu’s arms and sobbed. When Shen Hanyu finally realized what they were doing…

He strode out of the car and walked over with a dark face. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of Wen Xu’s arms.

His expression was cold and his eyes were filled with rage. Sang Qianqian trembled slightly, then tried her best to smile carefully and asked him why he was here.

He didn’t say a word. Instead, he pulled her into the car and went straight to the airport to return to Ming City.

Along the way, his expression was as cold as ice. Sang Qianqian felt uneasy, not knowing how she had offended him.

That night, his intimacy was almost rough, as if he was venting something, tossing and turning her.

She kept crying.

His heart ached when he saw her face full of tears. However, as long as he thought of the scene of her and Wen Xu embracing each other, he couldn’t restrain the anger in his heart.

As Sang Qianqian was in a daze, she heard the man’s suppressed and hoarse voice.

“You were the one who wanted to follow me, Sang Qianqian. Since you’ve decided to follow me, you should keep your distance from other men, including Wen Xu.”

After that, Shen Hanyu stopped her and Wen Xu from going out to look for anyone.

However, there was one time when she called him in a hurry and said that she had to go somewhere. This time, the photo was even clearer. It was obviously her brother.

The person accompanying her was, of course, Wen Xu. He had even bought a plane ticket.

Shen Hanyu did not agree. For the first time, she ignored his attitude. She hung up the phone and went to the airport with Wen Xu.

Naturally, she couldn’t leave. At the airport, the bodyguards stopped her.

Wen Xu was extremely angry and tried to take Sang Qianqian away. Both parties clashed and Wen Xu was injured while Sang Qianqian was sent back to Imperial Creek Terrace,

It was already past nine o’clock at night when Shen Hanyu returned home.

The lights weren’t on in the house, and after looking around, he did not see Sang Qianqian.

Finally, he found her on the balcony. In the middle of winter, she sat on the balcony in thin clothes, her body cold to the bone.

She must have cried for a long time as her eyes were red and swollen, but when she looked up at him, her expression was calm. She no longer had the admiration and joy she had when she first saw him.

Shen Hanyu panicked for no reason.

Then, he heard her say softly, “I regret it; I don’t want to follow you anymore. Shen Hanyu, let’s stop here.”
