Chapter 453: We’re Not Acting
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Not long after Shen Hanyu’s car left.
In the small courtyard next door, behind the curtains, Yin Shuhui sighed softly. “Qianqian, is it really appropriate for you to do this?”
Sang Qianqian’s eyes were calm. “1 don’t have a choice.”
The small courtyard next door used to be Shen Hanyu’s residence.
However, ever since Yin Shuhui was harassed by her brother in the capital, Sang Qianqian brought her here and she had been living in this courtyard ever since.
Since then, Shen Hanyu had never stepped into this place again.
Ruan Xiaodie wanted her to break up with Shen Hanyu, but Sang Qianqian knew that no matter where she hid, Shen Hanyu would find her.
However, this was the only exception. The surveillance cameras here broke down half a month ago.
Thus, Shen Hanyu wouldn’t be able to find any images of her entering the place.
Moreover, he would never think that she had not left at all. She was in the small courtyard next door, in Yin Shuhui’s bedroom.
Yin Shuhui’s mood was a little complicated. “1 really didn’t expect Ruan Xiaodie to be so scary. What do you plan to do next?”
Being manipulated like this wasn’t Sang Qianqian’s style.
However, Ruan Xiaodie was hiding somewhere and she had Shen Shaofeng as a hostage. If she was unhappy, she would threaten to kill him. Sang Qianqian had no choice but to be passive.
“Let’s wait for a while first. At least, in another month.”
Sang Qianqian lowered her eyes and gently stroked her lower abdomen. Her heart was soft and sour.
This child really came at the wrong time. When in pregnancy, the first three months required the most care.
However, in the two months after she became pregnant, she encountered so many things. Ruan Xiaodie’s true face, the Zhen family’s misfortune, Zhen Yiping’s illness, her brother’s injury, Shen Shaofeng’s accident…
As a result, her mind was in turmoil, and she could not sleep or eat well. A few days ago, she actually had bleeding symptoms.
No matter what, she couldn’t let anything happen to this child.
It was good to be separated from Shen Hanyu at this stage. If they met again, it would only make her feel worse.
It was good for both of them to avoid meeting each other. She could also temporarily stabilize Ruan Xiaodie.
“President Shen must be very uncomfortable now.”
Yin Shuhui felt sympathy for Shen Hanyu. “Shi’n should have set off by now, right? President Shen went to the Xie family’s residence for nothing. He can’t find you or Shi’an. He must be going crazy…”
Sang Qianqian was dejected and pursed her lips in silence.
How could she not know what she did was cruel? But it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one.
She and Xie Shi’an had agreed that after they parted ways tonight, he would go to the airport on his own, while she would temporarily stay at Yin Shuhui’s place.
Although Ruan Xiaodie was arrogant, she and Xie Shi’an weren’t people who would sit still and wait for death. After thinking hard for a few days, they came up with a plan.
If she played along, she might be able to draw out Ruan Xiaodie’s plan.
She only hoped that Xie Shi’an would be able to gain something from his trip overseas. It would be best if he could bring Shen Shaofeng back successfully.
That way, her and Shen Hanyu’s nightmare would be over.

Xie family’s residence.
Xie Shi’an’s car was parked at the gate, but he hadn’t left.
In the rearview mirror, Shen Hanyu’s speeding car appeared. He braked hard and stopped behind the car.
Xie Shi’an was not surprised. He opened the car door and got out of the car. “You’re finally here.”
He didn’t close the car door. Besides Xie Shi’an, there was only one driver in the car. Sang Qianqian wasn’t there.
Shen Han said coldly, “Where is she?”
“She’s not here.”
Xie Shi’an paused for a moment. “I have a few words to say to you. After that, 1’11 be heading to the airport immediately. The company is currently promoting a few projects overseas, so I have to follow up. A few vice presidents are already waiting for me at the airport.”
Shen Hanyu looked at Xie Shi’an indifferently. “What is going on? Why are you acting with her?”
Shen Hanyu had always known about Xie Shi’an’s feelings for Sang Qianqian.
However, the reason why he was impressed by Xie Shi’an was because the man had many opportunities in front of his wife.
However, he had never taken advantage of others when they were in danger. On the contrary, he had always respected Sang Qianqian’s choice.
Shen Hanyu did not like Xie Shi’an, but he had to admit that he was magnanimous. It was because of this that he could sit down with Xie Shi’an and ask him what had happened.
“Also… We’re not acting.”
Xie Shi’an said awkwardly, “If you’re referring to Qianqian’s pregnancy…”
“What do you mean?”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were filled with mockery as he said coldly, “She’s throwing a tantrum with me and pulling out such a lousy excuse as pregnancy, but you don’t even have basic judgment? Xie Shi’an, you shouldn’t be so stupid.”
Sang Qianqian had once said that she loved to eat iced drinks when she was young. Later, she went abroad to study. Although she studied medicine, she was under great pressure from her studies. It was common for her to stay up late, and her diet was extremely irregular. As a result, she had some symptoms of a palace cold.
It was only when Shen Hanyu went to Yuecheng for medical treatment that she accidentally entered the Chinese medicine field under Director Xue’s guidance that she began to take care of her body. However, in general, she shouldn’t be able to get pregnant so easily.
She asked Shen Hanyu before this, “What if I can’t have a baby?”
At that time, Shen Hanyu thought about it and replied seriously, “Then I don’t want to take a break. It’s not bad for the two of us to spend a lifetime together.”
Sang Qianqian smiled. “1 know my body well. It isn’t that bad.”
She smiled at Shen Hanyu and said, “You can’t rush if you want a baby. You have to be patient.”
Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian had been preparing to have a child for a long time, but there wasn’t any result at all so far. Even if she had done anything with Xie Shi’an that night, it was only ten days from today. How could she be sure that she was pregnant now?
“On the night Ruan Xiaodie schemed against us, Qianqian and I were both unconscious. Indeed, nothing happened between us. But…”
Xie Shi’an did not dare to face Shen Hanyu. He looked out of the window and was silent for a long time before he said, “Do you still remember a month ago when you went abroad for a few days?”
Of course, Shen Hanyu remembered.
He had gone abroad to investigate Zhen Zhu’s mother. He had thought that he could settle the Zhen family’s matters after returning to the country, but unexpectedly, something happened in the southwest, and Zhen Yiping’s illness acted up. He only had time to meet Sang Qianqian once before he had to rush to the southwest.
“Actually, I was also overseas at that time because someone robbed Ruan Xiaodie’s old house in Europe. The butler wanted to resign, so 1 had to go and deal with it. One night, Qianqian suddenly called me and asked about Ruan Xiaodie’s picture albums. She didn’t elaborate much at that time. However, 1 sensed that something was wrong. It just so happened that Sister Xiaoshuang was about to get her eye surgery, so I immediately rushed back to Beijing.”
He continued in a low voice, “Others thought that I only came back on the morning of Sister Xiaoshuang’s operation, but in fact, 1 arrived the night before. I didn’t return to the Xie family’s house because 1 wanted to talk to Qianqian about Ruan Xiaodie. Instead, I found a hotel to stay in.”
“When I contacted her, she said that your uncle Zhen Yiping had a sudden illness and she was accompanying Old Lady Zhen in the hospital. She couldn’t come and look for me and would talk to me another day. However, 1 was anxious to know the secret behind it, so I immediately took those few picture albums and rushed to the hospital..”
