I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

152 Falling in Love but Not Being Able to Be Together, Life and Death Separation

Shen Hanyu’s expression was a sinister one Sang Qianqian had never seen before. The temperature between his brows was so dark that it made her shiver.

He recalled what Sang Qianqian had said to him that night. She had said that it was very tiring to be with him and she would rather be at ease with Wen Xu.

He stared at the girl who had her eyes lowered the whole time. His eyes were rolling with dark clouds and his expression changed several times.

For a moment, he really wanted to strangle her to death.

She said that she had liked him for many years and wanted to be with him even if she didn’t want a status. Was her love so cheap?

It was like child’s play; she could put in feelings as easily as turning around and leaving.

“Sang Qianqian,” he gritted his teeth, “How much of what you said back then was true?”

She finally raised her head and met his gaze. His clear eyes were like a deep stream, calm and clear, even excessively cold.

It was no longer full of gentleness and affection when she looked at him before.

“President Shen, I actually followed you back then to repay you for helping the Sang family pay off their debt.”

Sang Qianqian gently pulled her hand away from his palm. “That’s why I never thought of asking for a status. Even if I wanted a status, I wouldn’t ask President Shen for it.”

She took two steps toward Wen Xu and held his arm. She snuggled up to him like a little bird and said in a soft voice, “I’ve been with President Shen for so long. It’s time for me to live my own life.”

Shen Hanyu’s handsome face was as cold as ice, and his jawline was so tight that it was hard to look at.

Wen Xu hugged Sang Qianqian and said in a gentle tone, “Sis, let’s go in. The wedding planner company sent over a wedding proposal today, but I haven’t had the time to read it yet.”

Sang Qianqian nodded her head in silence and allowed Wen Xu to hold her waist as they entered the Wen family’s house.

Behind her, an extremely cold blade-like gaze pierced her back, causing her to break out in a thin layer of cold sweat.

As soon as they entered, Wen Xu let go of her and laughed in a low voice. “It’s a good thing I’m prepared. I didn’t ask them to prepare the marriage certificate for nothing.”

Sang Qianqian gently lifted a corner of the curtain and saw that Shen Hanyu was still standing outside the Wen family’s Gate, his figure straight and cold.

The darkness of the night blurred his face, and Sang Qianqian could not see his expression. After that, he finally turned around and left in his car.

This was the last time Sang Qianqian saw Shen Hanyu.

Wen Xu planned a fake wedding, but before the wedding could be held, something happened to Wen Xu. He was involved in a rape scandal, and public opinion was abuzz.

Zhongwen Film and Television Group was found guilty of illegal business, tax evasion, and other issues. Wen Xu was sentenced to 18 years in prison and fined billions by the court.

Sang Qianqian’s first instinct was that Shen Hanyu had something to do with Wen Xu’s accident. Back then, he had said that their relationship wouldn’t end unless he said so.

Could it be that he was deliberately taking revenge on Wen Xu?

She went to look for Shen Hanyu, but she couldn’t find him. Guo Muyang said that he had returned to Phoenix’s Headquarters overseas.

Sang Qianqian began to doubt her initial deduction. Back then, when the Sang family was in trouble, the blame was all on Shen Hanyu.

But in the end, it wasn’t him. Perhaps Shen Hanyu had nothing to do with Wen Xu’s accident.

When the verdict for Wen Xu’s case was out, Shen Hanyu had just returned from abroad.

Shen Hanyu had called her and said in a calm tone that he wanted to tell her something. He had arranged for her to meet at his company.

He didn’t say anything more afterward. She was a little hesitant at first, but when she saw Wen Xu’s sad and haggard state in prison, she was heartbroken.

In the end, Sang Qianqian decided to go see Shen Hanyu. She was prepared to pay any price to plead for Wen Xu.

However, she didn’t see Shen Hanyu. In the parking lot, she was stopped by a few men in black and brought into an SUV.

They said that they were sending her to a place under Shen Hanyu’s orders.

When she woke up, she was on the 13th floor of a mental hospital. The room’s doors and windows were tightly shut, and there was only one entrance to deliver food. However, no one delivered food to her, not even water.

The environment inside was very dirty and broken, and there were also creepy-looking snakes, rats, insects, and ants crawling on the ground and walls. Her nerves were extremely tense, and she did not dare to sleep for several days and nights.

A few days later, one of the men appeared at the food entrance. He was surprised to see that she was still alive. “I didn’t expect you to be so tough.”

“I want to see Shen Hanyu.” Sang Qianqian banged on the door with all her might.

“President Shen doesn’t want to see you.”

The man’s face was hidden outside the door, but his tone was cruel. “Sang Qianqian, you can spend the rest of your life here. This is President Shen’s last act of kindness to you.”

“I don’t believe that Shen Hanyu would do this to me. He would never do this to me.”

Sang Qianqian stared at the man. “Who are you? The one who took my brother?”

He didn’t deny it. “To guess that much, I guess you’re not so stupid. It was all Shen Hanyu’s fault for being so insistent on tracking down Sang Minglang’s whereabouts. Moreover, he even used some hacking methods and offended someone he shouldn’t have. What we did to you was also a lesson for him. Didn’t he always care about you? This is also what you get for investigating Sang Minglang, as well. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone, no?”

Sang Qianqian’s entire body was trembling, and even her voice was trembling. “What do you want?”

“Not much. Wasn’t he always good at finding people? The surveillance footage of you in this house is being sent to Shen Hanyu in real time.”

The man laughed. “Why don’t we see how long he will take to find this place? At that time, you might be able to go to the netherworld together and be a pair of mandarin ducks that share the same fate.”

Sang Qianqian’s heart felt as if it was being squeezed by a string, and she could not breathe. Her consciousness fell heavily, but it didn’t reach the bottom.

Her legs were so weak that she couldn’t stand. She hugged her knees and curled up in the corner. She was in a daze, as if both her soul and spirit was gone. She couldn’t imagine what Shen Hanyu would do if he saw her in this situation.

She didn’t even dare to think about what would happen if Shen Hanyu really found this place.

That night, there was a thunderstorm.

Thunder cracked the window, and the wind blew in with the rain, making her a little more awake.

She couldn’t wait for Shen Hanyu to find her. She couldn’t let Shen Hanyu fall into a passive and dangerous situation because of her.

She pried the broken glass away from the crack and turned around, tears streaming down her face. She looked at the surveillance camera in the room and called out Shen Hanyu’s name in a choked voice.

“If I can start over, I will definitely not like you; I will only harm the Sang family and you. Shen Hanyu, I want both of us to live happily…”

These were the last words she said to Shen Hanyu. Then, without any hesitation, she jumped out the window…

...

—

Sang Qianqian’s face was pale, and she woke up from her dream with a drenched body. Her heart was beating violently. She could not believe that she had such a long dream.

Everything felt real, so real that it was like she had experienced another life.

The ups and downs, the pain of falling in love but not being able to be together, and the separation for life and death; it was heartbreaking.

She ran out of bed and knocked on Shen Hanyu’s door.

As soon as Shen Hanyu opened the door, he was hugged tightly by the girl, whose eyes were red and whose body was trembling.
