243 Cold
Through her teary eyes, Sang Qianqian raised her head and looked into a pair of deep, quiet, and calm black eyes.
There was no emotion in her voice, nor was there any warmth. For no reason, it made people feel distant and cold.
Sang Qianqian was in a daze. Was the person in front of her really Shen Hanyu?
How could he possibly look at her with such a cold gaze?
!!
How could he be so indifferent when she was crying so sadly while hugging him?
As if she wanted to confirm something, her fingers gently touched his handsome and determined face.
“Are you Shen Hanyu?” she mumbled, confused.
Shen Hanyu closed his eyes and instinctively wanted to hold her in his arms. But in the end, he only grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
Before he came to see her, he thought that it was better to shorten the pain and cut the knot quickly.
However, her face was pale and her eyes were red. He couldn’t bear to speak, and he was also afraid that her body couldn’t take it.
Today might not be a suitable day. After all, she had just been discharged.
“I don’t think I need to answer this question.”
He gently pushed Sang Qianqian away and said in a tone that made Sang Qianqian feel like she was a stranger, “What, you don’t even recognize me after staying in the same hospital for so long?”
Sang Qianqian looked at him, and in an instant, many thoughts ran through her mind.
She even wondered if Shen Hanyu had temporarily lost his memory like her brother and could not remember her.
“Hanyu, what’s wrong? What happened?”
The girl’s voice was very light and soft. Her eyes were gentle and contained an unspeakable concern.
Shen Hanyu’s throat felt dry. He forced himself to look away. “Nothing happened. Don’t think too much.”
He turned around and opened the car door. “Let’s go. I’ll send you back.”
Sang Qianqian hesitated for a few seconds, but still got in the car.
She actually had too many things she wanted to tell Shen Hanyu.
The nightmare that had troubled her for years, the love that separated them in her previous life, and the fate of meeting and falling in love in this life.
She wanted to tell Shen Hanyu everything.
She owed him too much. Now, she just wanted to love him and treat him as well as possible to make up for the debt from her two lives.
However, Shen Hanyu was too quiet, and the air in the car seemed to have frozen.
She did not know where to start.
The words she wanted to say, the thoughts she wanted to pour out, slowly sank, chaotic, and suffocating, blocking her heart.
When the car arrived at the small courtyard on the east mountain.
Sang Qianqian got out of the car and turned around, only to find that Shen Hanyu had no intention of getting out.
Their eyes met, and he said calmly, “I still have something to do. I have to go back to the Zhen family.”
Sang Qianqian was taken aback. “Then, when will you be back?”
After a moment of silence, he replied, “I don’t know.”
Sang Qianqian tried her best to smile. “It’s alright. You can go home after you’re done with your work.”
To her, this small courtyard was her and Shen Hanyu’s home in the capital. she didn’t think there was anything wrong with saying the word “home” so naturally.
Shen Hanyu looked at her deeply with an indescribable emotion in his eyes. He didn’t say anything more and started the car to leave.
Sang Qianqian stood by the side of the road and watched as the car disappeared into the traffic. She stood there silently for a long time before returning to her house.
“You’re back? So fast?”
Sang Minglang looked behind Sang Qianqian and was slightly surprised. “Where’s Shen Hanyu? He didn’t come over?”
Sang Qianqian pretended to be relaxed. “He has something to do with the Zhen family.”
“So, he didn’t explain to you why he didn’t come to see you before?”
“There’s no need to explain.”
Sang Qianqian replied vaguely, “Didn’t Uncle Shen already say that he’s busy with the Zhen family’s matters and has no time at all?”
Sang Minglang’s face darkened. He realized that he could not understand Shen Hanyu.
Even if Shen Hanyu had some secrets, he couldn’t possibly hide them from Qianqian, right?
If Shen Hanyu still wanted to be with Qianqian, he would not have done what he did today.
So what did he mean by this?
Just as Sang Minglang was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Sang Pengcheng coming down from upstairs and changed the topic, “Let’s go eat first.”
At the dining table, the family ate in silence.
Sang Pengcheng did not ask about Shen Hanyu. Instead, he said gently, “You guys pack up later. We’ll go back to Yuecheng tomorrow morning.”
Sang Minglang and Sang Qianqian were both stunned. “Tomorrow morning?”
“The capital is not our home after all. You’ve been here for so long, it’s time to go back.”
Sang Pengcheng said slowly, “Ever since you came to the capital, many things have happened. Minglang went missing, something happened to Qianqian, and I was forced to leave for Europe to look for your Uncle Zhong. I still don’t dare to think about those things. It’s a good thing that the heavens took pity on us and allowed our family to be reunited.”
He looked at his son and daughter lovingly. “In a person’s life, other than life and death, everything else is trivial and not important. I don’t have any other hopes in the future. I just hope that our family can be together safely.”
“I don’t mind. I can go back anytime.”
...
Sang Minglang looked at his sister, “I’m afraid Qianqian can’t leave, though.”
“It’s fine, I can go as well.”
Sang Qianqian said sensibly, “I haven’t been back for so long. I should go back and take a look. When the time comes, I’ll return to the capital.”
In all fairness, Sang Qianqian was not willing to leave. However, she couldn’t say no.
In the past half a year, perhaps it was because he had nearly lost his son and daughter that made Sang Pengcheng age a lot.
Sang Qianqian remembered that when her brother went missing, her father only had graying hair on both sides of his head. However, when she woke up yesterday, she realized that her father’s hair had all turned white. Her heart ached and she felt terrible.
Moreover, this was just a short trip back with her father.
Although she really wanted to see Shen Hanyu again, she was not in a hurry to do so.
“What will you go back to the capital for? Are you going to look for Shen Hanyu?”
Sang Pengcheng frowned unhappily. “If he has feelings for you, he could just come to Yuecheng to look for you.”
Sang Qianqian felt a little uncomfortable. “Dad, you know that Hanyu is very busy right now…”
...
“There are many people who are busy in this world. Your father was once so busy that he could not split his attention. But if you really want to meet someone, you can always find time. Even if it doesn’t work out, you can still make a phone call.”
Sang Pengcheng had lived for more than half of his life. There was nothing he could not understand.
Her daughter had been in a coma in the hospital for so long, but Shen Hanyu had never shown up, let alone called her.
Even when he fetched Qianqian out of the hospital today, he arrived late and did not even enter the small courtyard.
This could only mean that Shen Hanyu did not care about Qianqian at all.
Although Sang Pengcheng had never said anything to Shen Shaofeng before, how could he not be bothered by it?
His daughter had always been the apple of his eye. He couldn’t accept Shen Hanyu treating Qianqian like this, and he couldn’t bear to see his daughter suffer.
“Qianqian, don’t blame me for speaking out of turn. Shen Hanyu really treated you well in the past. However, he’s a member of the Zhen family now. When his identity changes, his outlook and heart’s realm will also change, either actively or passively.”
Sang Pengcheng did not want to hurt his daughter’s feelings. However, as a father, there were some things that he had to say. “Qianqian, if a person has a change of heart, there’s no point in forcing it. You’ll only be asking for trouble.”
He looked at Sang Qianqian and said in a serious tone, “If Shen Hanyu doesn’t come to Yuecheng for you, then you don’t have to return to the capital anymore.”
