Shen Hanyu pushed the door open.
Under the warm yellow light, he saw the girl hugging a blanket and leaning against the headboard. Her head was slightly lowered and the book in her hand had fallen to the side. She was obviously too tired from waiting, and had fallen asleep in the process.
Shen Hanyu walked over, picked Sang Qianqian up, and placed her on the bed. Although his movements were extremely light, Sang Qianqian was still jolted awake. She opened her eyes in a daze, “Hanyu, you’re back.”
She was half-awake, her eyes misty, her lips moist and red, looking innocent and pure. Shen Hanyu’s heart ached. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Sang Qianqian subconsciously reached out and hugged Shen Hanyu back, making his eyes turn darker. He hugged her even tighter and silently deepened the kiss.
The trembling spread through her limbs and bones like endless waves. Sang Qianqian’s long eyelashes trembled before she closed her eyes again.
Morning light shone through the window as the man beside her was already up.
The alarm on her phone rang, making Sang Qianqian wake up from her deep sleep. However, Shen Hanyu was one step faster than her and turned off the alarm. He held Sang Qianqian down as she was about to get up and said gently, “Sleep a little longer.”
Sang Qianqian rubbed against his arm and said softly, “No, I still have work to do.”
“I do need someone to carry me, though.” she said coquettishly as she reached out her hands like a child.
Shen Hanyu’s heart melted at the sight of her cute and innocent face. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, picking her up.
He had just taken a shower, so there was a nice smell of shower gel on his body. Sang Qianqian cuddled in his arms for a while before getting out of bed.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs went soft, and she almost fell.
Shen Hanyu caught her in time and smiled. “Do you have no strength? Why don’t I carry you to wash up?”
Sang Qianqian’s face instantly turned red, and her small fists landed on Shen Hanyu’s chest. “You still have the cheek to laugh! This is all your fault, you know!”
Shen Hanyu picked her up in his arms and smiled. “Yes, it’s all my fault.”
By the time Sang Qianqian finished washing up and went downstairs with Shen Hanyu, Aunt Zhao had already prepared breakfast.
When the two were having breakfast, Sang Qianqian mentioned Ruan Xiaoshuang’s matter and sighed. “Preparations for Sister Xiaoshuang and Song Yu’s wedding are already in progress. The date is set to be in a month.”
“So fast?”
“Are you sure she really wants to marry Song Yu?” Shen Hanyu asked with a meaningful look.
“Sister Xiaoshuang met Song Yu when she was at her most helpless time, and lived with him for such a long while. It’s normal for feelings to develop over time. If a woman has met the right man, she wouldn’t reject his proposal.”
Sang Qianqian replied seriously, “Our wedding was also very fast back then.”
It had only been three months since they reunited, confirmed their relationship, and got married.
“How can our situation be the same as Ruan Xiaoshuang’s?”
“Does your brother know about this?” Shen Hanyu asked.
“He does. He met with Sister Xiaoshuang last week and even gave his blessings to them.”
Sang Qianqian took a sip of porridge. “I’m going to the Xie family to treat Xiaodie tonight. Sister Xiaoshuang said that she would come with me to meet Shi’an and Xiaodie.”
“You can just tell Xie Shi’an to take Ruan Xiaodie to the hospital. Must you go to his house?”
Shen Hanyu frowned. “When you treated me before, you always asked me to go to the hospital. You even asked Director Miao to help me.”
“Xiaodie doesn’t want to go to places with too many people. Her emotions are very unstable. It’s better for me to do home treatment for her.” Sang Qianqian explained.
She suddenly realized something and laughed. “Are you jealous?”
“My wife is going to another man’s house after work. How can I not be jealous?” Shen Hanyu said.
Sang Qianqian burst out laughing. “Correction; I’m going to another man’s house to treat a female patient. Finish your sentence properly.”
Shen Hanyu was silent for two seconds. “It’s still the same.”
“I promise you that I will come back as soon as I treat Xiaodie.”
Sang Qianqian consoled her. “Besides, I’m not alone. Jian Han will send me there.”
Shen Hanyu’s face was expressionless as he nodded.
Speaking of Jian Han, Sang Qianqian suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, I heard from Jian Han about the incident with the photo last time. Have you found out anything?”
After she reconciled with Shen Hanyu, the first time he brought her to the Zhen family, someone had sent a stack of photos to the Zhen family anonymously through Li Zhongjin. The photos were all of her time with Xie Shi’an when she was imprisoned by Ruan Cheng’s men.
“We found the person who sent the photo, but he’s dead.”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened. “That man was the Ruan family’s bodyguard. He met Li Zhongjin once at a bar.”
This person was considered the lowest rank among all of the Ruan family’s bodyguards, and he only did the most basic security work. He had no way of coming into contact with Ruan Cheng, let alone knowing any of Ruan Cheng’s secrets or schemes.
It was because of this that the police had arrested this person for a period of time and released him after they found out he had not committed any crime.
The other party met Li Zhongjin at a bar and knew that he was the Zhen family’s nephew. It was understandable for him to send the photo to the Zhen family through Li Zhongjin.
However, these photos were taken from the surveillance footage. Logically speaking, only Ruan Cheng’s confidants could have access to the surveillance footage. However, after Ruan Cheng’s death, his confidants had scattered, either dead or in jail.
How could a low-ranking bodyguard, who did not have much interaction with Ruan Cheng and did not even need to risk his life for him, get the surveillance footage and what motive did he have to send the photos to the Zhen family? It was really hard to imagine.
“After Ruan Cheng died and Sister Xiaoshuang got into an accident, the Ruan family was in chaos.”
Sang Qianqian guessed, “Could it be that this person had accidentally gotten hold of the surveillance footage and wanted to use these photos to get some money?”
Shen Hanyu shook his head. “If it was for money, he could have asked Li Zhongjin to come to me directly. There was no need to send him to the Zhen family.”
“Then what’s the reason?”
Sang Qianqian held a spoon in her mouth and thought hard, but she could not figure it out. “He sent a photo for no reason and lost his life for no reason. Doesn’t that just sound depressing?”
“I will let Jian Han investigate. For now, let’s have breakfast.”
Shen Hanyu ruthlessly ended the conversation and began eating his breakfast.
After the meal, Jian Han drove Sang Qianqian to the hospital before sending Shen Hanyu to his office.
Jian Han reported in a low voice, “Regarding the identity of the person who sent the photos, we have found some new information. Even though that person isn’t Ruan Cheng’s confidant, he’s a distant relative of the brothers Cui Yi and Cui Ke. It was also because of the brothers that he was able to enter the Ruan family as a bodyguard.”
Shen Hanyu narrowed his eyes. The Cui brothers were both Ruan Cheng’s direct subordinates, and Cui Yi could be considered his right-hand man.
“Cui Yi is serving his sentence now. Cui Ke was sent overseas by Ruan Cheng to take care of the Ruan family’s Third Young Miss, and did not participate in Ruan Cheng’s future plans.”
Jian Han continued, “Not long ago, Cui Ke followed Xie Shi’an back to the country. He has been staying in the Xie family and didn’t even leave the house much. Based on what I know, Cui Ke is a simple-minded person who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. In the current situation, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have the guts to go against President Shen and the Zhen family.”
“That might not be the case. We’ll have to see if there’s another mastermind behind this.”
Shen Hanyu said lightly, “Aren’t you going to send Qianqian to the Xie family’s residence tonight? I can use this opportunity to test Cui Ke..”
