Chapter 397: No Regrets
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sang Qianqian had not felt such uneasiness in such a long time.
The photo incident, the hospital fire, the kidnapping incident, Cui Yi’s death…
The mysterious person hiding behind the heavy curtains had yet to reveal his true appearance, but every time he stirred up a storm, he would retreat unscathed.
If Shen Hanyu had not instructed Jian Zheng to investigate, Xu Meixi would not have been suspected.
It was still unclear who this person was and what he wanted to do. However, the depth of the other party’s ways of scheming was truly shocking.
Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks with mixed feelings. “Hanyu.”
Shen Hanyu looked back. “Hm?”
She didn’t respond. She stretched out her hand and gently hugged him, her head pressed against his chest.
This familiar embrace and the refreshing smell made her feel nostalgic. He was right in front of her, but she couldn’t help but hug him even tighter.
Sometimes, when two people got along to a certain point, many things did not need to be asked or said, but both of them already understood what they wanted to say in their hearts.
He silently pulled her into his arms and looked down at her “Are you worried about that person? Don’t be afraid, 1…”
Sang Qianqian did not wait for him to finish. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips, stopping Shen Hanyu from saying anything.
It was rare for them to have half a day to relax, and she really didn’t want that mysterious person to spoil their fun.
After a moment of delay, what responded to her was a gentle and dense tossing and turning…
The summer night wind gently blew through the leaves, and the warm yellow light from the street lamps passed through the leaves and scattered on the two of them, reflecting the two silhouettes on the ground, snuggling together for a long time.
When the long kiss ended, Sang Qianqian’s legs were a little weak. She clung onto Shen Hanyu’s arm and snorted, “1 can’t walk anymore.”
He smiled and bent over. “1’11 carry you then.”
“Alright,”
She did not refuse. Instead, she climbed onto his back with her hands and feet.
His back was broad and firm, and his steps were steady. Sang Qianqian wrapped her arms around his neck and suddenly thought of some lyrics from an old song,
“The most romantic thing 1 can think of is to slowly grow old with you.”
“Hanyu, what do you think we’ll be like when we’re old?”
Without waiting for Shen Hanyu to answer, she continued, “I’ll definitely have wrinkles all over my face. 1 won’t look good at all. At that time, will you despise me?”
Shen Hanyu laughed. “1’11 be old and wrinkly as well by then. What right do 1 have to despise you?”
“Will you still be able to carry me by that time?”
“Of course.”
“What if 1 become a fat old lady?”
“Then I’ll work hard to become a strong old man. 1’11 be able to carry you that way.”
Sang Qianqian could not help but burst out laughing when she imagined what a “healthy” old Shen Hanyu would look like.

It was already very late when they returned home that night.
After taking a shower, Sang Qianqian laid down in bed and turned off the bedside lamp. When Shen Hanyu laid down beside her, she whispered into his ear, “Hanyu, let’s have a child.”
“What did you say?” Shen Hanyu wondered if he had heard her wrongly.
“1 said, 1 want a child,” Sang Qianqian said seriously.
He froze for a few seconds as if he had been electrocuted. “Are you serious?”
When he and Sang Qianqian got their marriage certificate and resumed their married life, he had already made this suggestion before.
However, at that time, Sang Qianqian had thought about it and didn’t agree.
She did not want to have children too early and wanted to wait a little longer. “We’ll talk about it when we return to Ming City.”
But tonight, she took the initiative to bring the topic back up. How could Shen Hanyu not be overjoyed? He really could not believe it.
“I’ve already said it twice, but you’re still asking me if I’m serious.”
Sang Qianqian pouted and turned her back on purpose. “You don’t want to have a child, do you? If you don’t want to, then don’t.”
In the darkness, a pair of strong arms hugged her from behind.
Shen Hanyu’s low and hoarse voice, accompanied by his hot breathing, fell into her ears. “Don’t regret your words.”
There was no room for Sang Qianqian to regret.

It was late at night. Sang Qianqian curled up in Shen Hanyu’s arms and fell into a deep sleep.
He stared at her under the moonlight, his dark eyes filled with endless tenderness.
He planted a light kiss on her forehead and softly said the words that Sang Qianqian had stopped him from saying earlier, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let the past repeat itself. It’s just that you have to believe me, Qianqian.”
She didn’t need to worry about anything and just needed to trust him completely. She didn’t need to act like before, where in order not to drag him down, she had insisted on breaking up with him and facing everything alone.
The summer night was a little cold. Shen Hanyu covered Sang Qianqian with a thin blanket, got up very gently, and went to the study room.
Jian Zheng had already sent over all the information about the kidnapping case.
Shen Hanyu’s slender fingers typed on the keyboard, his eyes cold.
That person wanted to completely hide behind the scenes, but it seemed that they still left some tracks.
Cui Yi’s fake death was flawless, but Sang Qianqian accidentally saw through it and transferred him to the hospital midway. In the end, that person could not keep calm and plotted against Xu Meixi.
He kidnapped the girl’s family to force her to kill Cui Yi, and there was almost no trace left behind in the process.
But it was only almost. The remaining clues were hard to find, but it was enough for Shen Hanyu.

The next day.
When she received Ruan Xiaoshuang’s call, Sang Qianqian didn’t dare to delay. She took advantage of the lunch break to rush to find her.
Coincidentally, when the car arrived at Song Yu’s studio, Sang Qianqian saw a very eye-piercing scene. Song Yu, who had traveled abroad, had already returned to China. At this moment, he was welcoming guests at the entrance of the studio with a face full of success.
Many of these customers had come after seeing the art exhibition. Some wanted to befriend Song Yu, some wanted to buy his paintings, and some wanted to see if there was a chance for cooperation.
In the past, Sang Qianqian might have been happy about his success because he was Ruan Xiaoshuang’s fiance.
But now, looking at this person’s face and thinking about his face when he was hugging and fooling around with women overseas, she felt extremely disgusted.
However, what was even more difficult for her to accept was Ruan Xiaoshuang’s attitude toward him.
Ruan Xiaoshuang said on the phone that her wedding with Song Yu would be held as usual. She hoped that Sang Qianqian could keep his affair a secret for the time being.
Sang Qianqian really couldn’t understand why Ruan Xiaoshuang had to put herself in such a difficult position.
She got out of the car and went upstairs to Ruan Xiaoshuang’s place.
Ruan Xiaoshuang had lost a little weight after not seeing her for a few days, but her expression was much calmer than a few days ago.
“Aren’t you tired of coming all the way here from work?”
She rebuked softly, “This is just a small matter of mine, and it’s not worth so much of your concern.”
“What do you mean by that? How could this matter not be worth my attention when it is a major event that concerns your entire life.”
Sang Qianqian went straight to the point. “Song Yu seemed to have already returned. Sister Xiaoshuang, have you talked to him?”
“He arrived this morning.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang pursed her lips and was silent for a few seconds. “Qianqian, I don’t plan to confront him about this before the wedding.”
“So you’ve really decided to continue with the wedding? You still want to marry him?”
“Sister Xiaoshuang,” Sang Qianqian found the woman’s decision difficult to understand. “Song Yu has openly cheated on you.. Aren’t you afraid that he will do it again after he gets married?”
