I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

69 I Don’t Understand His Motives

Shen Hanyu’s consciousness was a little blurry. He could only vaguely hear the girl’s voice comforting him gently.

“I’m almost done, just bear with it a little longer.”

Shen Hanyu endured it and gradually fell asleep.

Sang Qianqian heaved a long sigh of relief. After acupuncture, his nerves would relax slightly, and it was normal for him to fall asleep.

She put away the silver needles, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

!!

Even though she had practiced countless times under Director Xue’s guidance, she was still nervous treating Shen Hanyu for the first time.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Sang Qianqian pulled the blanket over Shen Hanyu, and her eyes inadvertently glanced at the cup of pomelo juice on the table.

She was really thirsty, and she also missed the taste of pomelo juice. In the end, she couldn’t resist the temptation. She took the cup and took a sip.

The freshly squeezed pomelo juice was a little bitter, but it tasted particularly good. It was sour and sweet. Shen Hanyu must’ve added honey and rock sugar into the drink.

Sang Qianqian couldn’t help but look at the man who was lying down with his eyes closed.

She didn’t expect that he would make this kind of drink that girls loved although he was so busy. Moreover, he even made it with extra care. It refreshed her understanding of him.

The acupuncture treatment had ended, and she guessed that Shen Hanyu would sleep for a while.

Sang Qianqian had no intention of waiting for him to wake up. She got up and left with light movements.

She had just gone downstairs when she realized that it was raining outside. At the door, a young woman in an exquisite dress and high heels was closing an umbrella.

As the umbrella fell, the two of them inadvertently looked at each other and were both stunned.

Xia Sitong’s eyes widened as she thought she had seen a ghost. “S-Sang Qianqian?”

Sang gave a small smile. “It’s me.”

“You, why are you here?”

Xia Sitong’s heart was clearly in shock, “Aren’t you… Aren’t you dead?”

Sang Qianqian looked at her. “I’m not dead. I’m still alive.”

She thought that Shen Hanyu had already told Xia Sitong about her fake death. After all, they were so close. To think that Xia Sitong didn’t know about it!

Xia Sitong’s face turned pale, and she felt a little breathless, “What… What’s going on?”

Wasn’t Sang Qianqian already dead from her injuries? How could she still be alive?

“I can’t explain the reason for this in a short time. Why not ask Shen Hanyu when you have the time?” Sang Qianqian said.

Toward Xia Sitong, Sang Qianqian had once had a good impression of her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have helped her at the Han family and risked her life to save her when she encountered the drunkard.

However, that year at Shengshi Club, Xia Sitong clearly knew that she had been called away by Ding Aojia. When Wen Xu called to ask about her whereabouts, Xia Sitong said that she didn’t know, wasting so much time.

Sang Qianqian’s impression of Xia Sitong dropped to the bottom after that incident, and she kept her distance from Xia Sitong.

Xia Sitong wouldn’t let her go, “Did you go look for Brother Hanyu? Why are you looking for him?”

“To treat his illness,” Sang Qianqian said briefly.

“Treat illnesses? You’re a doctor now?”

Xia Sitong looked suspicious. “Brother Hanyu’s body is fine. What illness could he have?”

Sang Qianqian was taken aback. So Shen Hanyu didn’t tell Xia Sitong anything?

He even hid his headache and insomnia from her?

But thinking about it, it was understandable. Perhaps he was afraid that she would be worried.

“It’s not a serious illness; just a slight headache. It’ll be fine after some acupuncture treatment.”

In the end, Sang Qianqian still explained, “I’m sorry, Miss Xia, but I’m in a hurry to go back, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Sang Qianqian!”

Xia Sitong stopped her. The emotions that she had been suppressing for the past five years could no longer be contained when she found out Sang Qianqian was actually able to enter Shen Hanyu’s residence.

“You disappeared for five years. Why did you suddenly come back?”

She was a little agitated. “There are so many doctors out there. Why would Brother Hanyu want you to treat him? What are you planning to do?”

Sang Qianqian replied coldly, “Xia Sitong, I know what you’re trying to say, but I’ve already explained it to you many years ago in Shengshi Club. I’m sure you remember what I said at that time.”

Xia Sitong sneered, her eyes full of resentment. “Of course I remember. You said you didn’t like Brother Hanyu, but then you died trying to save him, and you died on my birthday. Do you know how I’ve celebrated my birthday every year for the past five years? It’s been five years, and he’s been going to your grave to pay his respects every year. He has never celebrated my birthday with me! Sang Qianqian, is this what you mean by not liking him? Even in death, you want to make him and me unable to have peace?”

Sang Qianqian was stunned. The day she died was on the same day as Xia Sitong’s birthday?

This was the first time she had heard about it.

Speaking of which, even if Shen Hanyu was grateful to her for saving his life, he didn’t have to pay his respects to her every year on the day she died, right?

If she died, then so be it. The dead were gone, and the living were more important.

Furthermore, it was Xia Sitong’s birthday today. Did Shen Hanyu not know what was important?

“I’m sorry.” Sang Qianqian was truly embarrassed. “I didn’t expect such a coincidence.”

“There’s no use in saying sorry, Sang Qianqian.”

Xia Sitong gritted her teeth. “I hope you’ll leave Brother Hanyu’s and my life forever, and never appear in front of us again!”

Sang Qianqian pursed her lips. “I will leave, but not now. I’ll leave after I’ve cured Shen Hanyu.”

If it wasn’t for the sake of helping the Wen family, she wouldn’t have taken on this burden.

The rain was getting heavier, but Sang Qianqian didn’t want to stay any longer. After saying that, she walked into the rain.

Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind her. “Sang Qianqian.”

Sang Qianqian turned around to see that Shen Hanyu was already awake. He was holding an umbrella in his hand as he strode over.

“You… You’re awake?” This was too quick. He didn’t even sleep for long.

Shen Hanyu nodded. “It’s raining outside. I’ll take you home.”

He was a light sleeper to begin with, and he woke up when the rain hit the window.

Sang Qianqian rejected him. “No need. You’d better stay with Miss Xia.”

Shen Hanyu looked at Xia Sitong. “What’s the matter?”

Xia Sitong revealed a smile, “It’s nothing much. I’m just here to see you and help tidy up your house.”

“I remember telling you before that there’s an hourly worker to clean up the house, so you don’t have to make a special trip.”

Shen Hanyu said calmly, “You can go back first. I’ll see Dr. Sang off.”

Xia Sitong’s face froze, looking a little ugly. Sang Qianqian was a little stunned, not understanding what Shen Hanyu was doing.

In the past, whenever Xia Sitong coughed, Shen Hanyu would take off his coat and put it on her.

It was already so late, and it was still raining. Shouldn’t he be sending Xia Sitong off?

She was still hesitating, but Shen Hanyu had already opened the umbrella. “Let’s go, Dr. Sang.”

Sang Qianqian was speechless.

He had always called her by her name before, but now he was calling her Doctor Sang. Did he insist on sending her because she had treated his illness?

Shen Hanyu was so insistent that she would seem pretentious if she declined.

Sang Qianqian didn’t say anything else and stepped into the rain. Shen Hanyu’s umbrella shielded her from the drizzle.
