242 Tears
She came out of thin air and disappeared into thin air. He didn’t even know where to look for her.
After a period of extremely low spirits, Shen Shaofeng gradually came out of it.
He had thought that their online relationship would end here. To his surprise, Zhen Yixin suddenly appeared in front of him.
She was even more beautiful in real life than in the video. Because of her constant illness, her skin was as white as snow, but also as fragile as a glazed crystal.
“I don’t want to be your girlfriend. I want to marry you. Shen Shaofeng, are you willing to marry me?”
Shen Shaofeng was stunned on the spot and couldn’t speak for a long time.
Zhen Yixin thought that he was unwilling, so she turned around and left with red eyes.
Shen Shaofeng rushed over and held her tightly. He said “I do” countless times before Zhen Yixin broke into a smile.
They got married very quickly, and the wedding was very simple.
The days after marriage were extremely warm and sweet.
Although Zhen Yixin was in poor health and had to go to the hospital all the time, Shen Shaofeng had never complained.
Zhen Yixin never mentioned her family. Whenever Shen Shaofeng asked, she would always vaguely say that she had no relatives at home.
In the end, Shen Shaofeng didn’t ask anymore. He only thought that she was an orphan with a pitiful background and was unwilling to talk about the sad things of the past, so he stopped wondering about it as he cared for her very much.
Shen Shaofeng didn’t know his wife’s true identity. She was the youngest daughter of Zhen Yuanhua, the head of the Zhen family, the top family in Beijing.
When she was young, Zhen Yixin had been engaged to the eldest son of the Fang family in the capital, Fang Hongyi.
When she received Shen Shaofeng’s “confession” email, her wedding with Fang Hongyi was about to take place.
Usually, she was so weak that she could not even stand the wind. She had never disobeyed her parents, but now she was fiercely resisting this marriage. After being rejected by her father, Zhen Yuanhua, she did something that made everyone’s jaws drop. She escaped from marriage.
At that time, the Skynet system was far less developed than it was later on. It was not easy to find someone.
However, with the Zhen family’s ability, it was not impossible to find them.
A few months later, the Zhen family found Zhen Yixin’s medical records in a hospital.
At that time, Shen Shaofeng was away on a business trip, and Zhen Yixin, who was more than four months pregnant, was forcibly brought back to Beijing.
Zhen Yuanhua was from the military and had a violent personality. When he found out that his daughter had married someone without permission and was pregnant, he was furious and wanted to send her to the hospital for an abortion.
Zhen Yixin cried her heart out. She was weak to begin with, and her heart had stopped beating for a while after she fainted. Fortunately, she was rescued in time and his life was not in danger.
Fang Hongyi didn’t want to force her, so he canceled the engagement. He couldn’t bear to see Zhen Yixin in such a depressed state, crying every day.
In the end, he sent her away from the capital city on the grounds that he was taking her out to play.
After Zhen Yixin reunited with Shen Shaofeng, she didn’t mention a word about what happened in Beijing. Instead, she only said that she had gone back to her hometown and cut off contact because of communication difficulties.
Shen Shaofeng trusted her and did not doubt her at all.
Half a year later, the child was born. Zhen Yixin sent Fang Hongyi a picture of the family of three.
In the photo, Zhen Yixin was smiling as she was held in a man’s arms. In her arms was a baby that was only a few months old.
Along with the photo, there were three words: “Thank you,” she said.
It was because of that photo that he had met Shen Shaofeng in the hospital not long ago. Although his appearance had changed after many years, Fang Hongyi still recognized him at a glance.
That was how Shen Hanyu was acknowledged by the Zhen family.

“I’m telling you all this because I want you to know that your mother is very brave.”
Shen Shaofeng looked at Shen Hanyu deeply. “Putting her identity aside, she knew that she had heart disease, but she was still willing to come to me and marry me. She accompanied me for eighteen years, and I’ve never regretted it. Those were the most memorable days of my life.”
“Hanyu, why don’t you be as brave as your mother for once?” he said earnestly.
“My situation is different from my mother’s.”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were dark and emotionless. “Your story can’t even compare.”
“You’re afraid that you’ll make things difficult for Qianqian?”
Shen Shaofeng said, “But I can see that Qianqian has deep feelings for you. Maybe she won’t care about anything.”
“If she doesn’t care, I can. You’ve just seen Mr. Chen, so I’m sure he’s explained it clearly.”
Shen Hanyu looked at the lights outside the window and the hazy night sky. His tone was calm and unruffled. “She’s still young and has a long way to go. If Qianqian is your daughter, do you think she should know the truth or not?”
Shen Shaofeng thought of what Mr. Chen had said earlier.
He then thought of all the careful concealment he had done during this period of time, the painstaking efforts he had put in to explain, and the flowers he had sent to Sang Qianqian under the guise of his son. He could not help but sigh.
Perhaps, he had been too selfish. He had only wanted Qianqian to stay by Hanyu’s side and had neglected Sang Qianqian’s future.
His heart was filled with anger, but he couldn’t vent it out. He didn’t know who to vent it on.
In the end, he could only curse Ruan Cheng a thousand times in his heart.
Ruan Cheng really deserved to be cut into pieces. He was already dead, but he still continued to cause harm.
If it wasn’t for him, Hanyu and Qianqian would have been able to get together peacefully.
Unable to change Shen Hanyu’s decision, Shen Shaofeng was extremely disappointed. In the end, he still said, “No matter what, you still have to pick up Qianqian from the hospital tomorrow.”
“Grandmother is coming tomorrow. I have to go to the Zhen family,” Shen Hanyu said lightly.
“The Zhen family can go after picking up Qianqian.”
Shen Shaofeng insisted. “You have to make things clear with Qianqian sooner or later.”
Shen Hanyu was silent for a long time. “Okay.”
...

Sang Qianqian had thought that Shen Hanyu would not come.
Shen Shaofeng had said that Shen Hanyu was with Old Lady Zhen in the morning and might be late.
After settling the discharge procedures, Sang Qianqian walked out of the hospital building without much hope. Then, she saw Shen Hanyu, who was standing quietly by the car.
It was not that she had not thought about meeting Shen Hanyu. But the moment their eyes met, Sang Qianqian’s tears could not help but flow down.
She was embarrassed to be too intimate with Shen Hanyu in front of her family. But now, she held the memories of two lives, and her longing for him was unbearable.
The moment she saw Shen Hanyu, all her pretense of calmness collapsed.
Sang Qianqian choked on her sobs and flew into his arms like a bird returning to the forest, sobbing silently.
Sang Minglang gave Shen Hanyu a meaningful look. “I’ll go back with my dad first. You’d better give my sister a reasonable explanation.”
Shen Hanyu looked indifferent and did not say anything. On the other hand, Shen Shaofeng’s expression was gloomy.
He was the only one who knew that there would be no explanation.
...
Today’s meeting was destined to end on bad terms.
When Sang’s tears finally stopped, she finally realized that something was wrong.
The embrace of the man in front of her was as familiar and firm as she remembered.
The only difference was that he did not hug her back.
