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

111 Did I Bully You?

Xia Sitong’s words were like an invisible thorn that inadvertently stabbed into the deepest part of Shen Hanyu’s heart.

That wasn’t the answer Shen Hanyu wanted. Instead, it was Sang Qianqian’s clear reply, yes or no.

The two of them were too close at the moment, so close that their faces were almost touching, and they could hear each other’s breathing.

Sang Qianqian was flustered, afraid that he would do something outrageous in the ward. “Shen Hanyu, I really don’t know. Let go of me, this is a hospital…”

She must’ve been really nervous. Her body was tense in his arms and she was trembling slightly.

Shen Hanyu’s deep eyes fell on her face and he looked at Sang Qianqian for a long time. He suddenly felt that it didn’t make much sense for her to give him a clear answer.

She was already his girlfriend, so it didn’t matter if he was moved or not. Even if she wasn’t moved now, she might be in the future.

So what if she was never moved?

Would she not be with him because of this?

On the contrary, he wouldn’t let go of Sang Qianqian easily.

The restraint on Sang Qianqian’s waist finally loosened. She felt relieved and immediately got up from his arms, jumping to a safe distance.

Then, she pulled a long face. “President Shen is so powerful. So what if you have great strength? Do you feel happy bullying others?”

Shen Hanyu looked at her angry face and, for some reason, the depression he felt from Xia Sitong’s words just now dissipated a little.

“Did I bully you?” He asked, trying to hold back his laughter.

“What you did just now, wasn’t that bullying?”

Sang Qianqian said angrily, “I already told you to let go of me, but you’re still holding on to me. What if other doctors come in and see this? What would they think?”

He wasn’t afraid of losing face, but she was. Shen Hanyu’s eyes were still smiling. “The doctors won’t come during lunch break.”

“Just keep smiling then, don’t cry out in pain later.”

Sang Qianqian glared at Shen Hanyu, took the acupuncture kit, and turned into a doctor. She spoke in the tone of a doctor instructing a patient, “Lie down. I’ll start the acupuncture treatment now.”

Shen Hanyu laid down and smiled. “Doctor sang, can you be gentler?”

“I can’t,” Sang Qianqian picked up a silver needle and said, pretending to be heartless. Shen Hanyu’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he looked at her without blinking.

He suddenly felt that the doctor’s advice to control himself this morning wasn’t wrong at all.

In the past, Sang Qianqian had always been quiet, gentle, and patient in front of him. This was the best look a doctor could have. Occasionally, she would show a trace of gentleness because of his illness.

However, the Sang Qianqian right now was a side of her that he had rarely seen in the past. This other side of her was extremely lively and adorable.

His heart had never felt so soft before. He suddenly wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her deeply.

Sang Qianqian had no idea what was going on beneath the man’s seemingly calm expression. If she knew, she would definitely be so angry that she would leave immediately.

After all, she’s giving him acupuncture treatment, but his brain is full of… Just who could tolerate such dirty waste?

—

After the acupuncture session, Sang Qianqian quietly left Shen Hanyu’s ward.

Guo Muyang and Qin Lin were actually waiting outside.

Qin Lin smiled. “Miss Sang, the police would like to ask you about the fire last night. There’s been some progress. It’s a good opportunity to keep in touch with you.”

Earlier on, Guo Muyang went out to answer a call from Qin Lin. When he returned, he bumped into Xia Sitong, who didn’t even greet him and left in a hurry with her head lowered.

Only then did Guo Muyang realise that Sang Qianqian had come to Shen Hanyu’s ward. He didn’t dare to disturb her, so he went downstairs to wait for Qin Lin and the police.

Sang Qianqian was feeling a little uneasy. “What does the police want to ask me?”

“It’s just a few basic questions,” Qin Lin said gently. “Don’t be nervous, Miss Sang. Just answer honestly.”

“With Lawyer Qin around, what’s there for Miss Sang to be afraid of?”

Guo Muyang said, “If the other party asks you a question that you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to answer it. Just leave it to Qin Lin to solve it.”

Sang pursed her lips. “That’s unnecessary. There’s nothing I can’t answer.”

Rong Yan had come to visit her last night and made her some ginger soup. By the time she returned home after performing acupuncture on Shen Hanyu, the ginger soup had already turned cold. She didn’t want to drink it at first, but at the thought of Rong Yan’s painstaking efforts, she couldn’t waste it.

So, she heated it up, drank a bowl, took her medicine, and went to sleep.

Sang Qianqian remembered that she had turned off the gas stove, but she wasn’t so sure about the fire that had suddenly started in the middle of the night.

She didn’t know how the fire started, but she guessed that it might be because of her negligence that she forgot to turn off the gas because she was so dizzy.

Or was it because the wires in the house were old?

Other than that, there seemed to be no other factors that could have caused the fire.

Sang Qianqian was feeling slightly uneasy as she sat down face to face with the police officers who had come to investigate.

All of a sudden, she heard the other party say that the fire was set by someone.

Sang Qianqian was dumbfounded. The shock and fear in her heart were indescribable. “Who would break into my house and set it on fire?”

“We are still investigating.”

The police officer asked, “Miss Sang, did you hear any strange sounds last night? Did you see anyone who set the place on fire?”

Sang Qianqian shook her head. “At that time, I had taken some cold medicine and was in a deep sleep. I couldn’t hear any movement.”

The two police officers looked at each other, knowing they wouldn’t be able to get anything out of her. “In that case, please rest well, Miss Sang. We’ll let you know as soon as we make any progress.”

The other party paused and reminded, “Miss Sang, you must pay attention to your safety after you are discharged from the hospital. If you discover anything unusual, you must contact the police immediately. If necessary, we will send bodyguards over to protect you.”

Before Sang Qianqian could say anything, Guo Muyang had already said, “There’s no need for that. We’ll be responsible for Miss Sang’s safety.”

Shen Hanyu had already made the necessary arrangements without the police’s reminder.

Sang Qianqian felt uneasy the entire afternoon. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t afraid.

After all, no one would be able to stay calm knowing someone had broken into their house in the middle of the night to set it on fire.

The other party clearly wanted her life. If it wasn’t for Shen Hanyu, she would have been dead.

She hadn’t returned to Ming city for five years. This time, only a few people knew that she was back.

Last time, it was Long Junzhe, Wen Hao, and Ding Aojia who attempted to ruin her in Shengshi Club. Could it be related to one of them again this time?

However, Sang Qianqian also knew that it was very irresponsible of her to make wild guesses without any evidence. The only thing she could do now was to protect herself and wait patiently for the results of the police investigation.

When Sang Qianqian returned to the ward, she realised that Wen Xu was not there.

He had sent her a message more than an hour ago, saying that he had to go back to the company. Looking at the time, it should have been right after she went upstairs to look for Shen Hanyu.

The arson was no small matter. Sang Qianqian gave Wen Xu a call, intending to explain the situation to him briefly and remind him to be careful.

After all, Wen Xu was the person closest to her. She was really worried that the arsonist would hurt Wen Xu instead of her.

However, when she called, the call was directly cut off. She called again, but it was still hung up.
