Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shen Hanyu’s eyes flickered, and he suppressed his anger. However, he finally closed his eyes and suppressed himself.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were dark. “Fang Lan said that you have something important to tell me. Is that all?”
“Not just that.”
Sang Qianqian took a deep breath. “I’m here to ask you if you’re still willing to…”
She paused for a while and used all her courage to say the last three words, “Accept me.”
Shen Hanyu’s emotions, which he had suppressed with great difficulty became turbulent again.
“Accept you?”
He stared at her for a while. “Why? Just because you were forced to break up with me and get together with Xie s.h.i.+’an?”
Sang Qianqian lowered her head. “s.h.i.+’an and I have never really been together. That child…”
“Don’t mention that child to me!”
Shen Hanyu couldn’t control his anger anymore. “Sang Qianqian, haven’t I told you before that you only need to trust me and stay by my side no matter what?” But what did you do? You knew that my father was in Ruan Xiaodie’s hands, so why didn’t you tell me? Why would you rather divorce me than believe that I could save him?”
“It’s not that I didn’t believe you,”
Even though she had a good reason to do so back then, she was too guilty to look at him when he questioned her. “I didn’t dare to take the risk… If anything happened to Uncle Shen, I will never be at ease for the rest of my life…”
“So in the end, you didn’t believe me.”
“Sang Qianqian,” Shen Hanyu gritted his teeth and said slowly, “Ask yourself. From the beginning to the end, have you ever trusted me?”
Even though he had promised her that he wouldn’t take revenge on the Sang family, she still faked her death and moved out of Ming City.
After that, they became husband and wife, and she insisted on breaking up in order to continue working at the capital without telling him.
This time, she would rather be threatened by Ruan Xiaodie than tell him the truth. When had she ever trusted him?
Sang Qianqian lowered her eyes, not knowing how to explain.
“Since you never believed me, why did you come to me?”
Shen Hanyu’s tone was cold. “Are you that confident that I would accept you if you did that?”
“I didn’t…” Sang Qianqian lowered her head and defended herself weakly.
She wasn’t so sure. She didn’t even have the slightest bit of confidence.
She just didn’t want to miss him, so she used all the courage she had, put down all her dignity and face, and tried to win him back for the last time.
“Sang Qianqian, aren’t you tired? Do you really think I have to be with you?”
Shen Hanyu’s words were extremely sharp. “So we broke up, divorced, and got back together just like that. Did I treat you so well in the past that I gave you this confidence that no matter what you do, I’ll be at your beck and call?”
Every word that came out of his thin lips was filled with coldness. “Sang Qianqian, in the past, I tolerated you, doted on you, and loved you because you were my wife. But now, who do you think you are?”
Sang Qianqian felt as if her heart had been pierced by sharp arrows, and her face turned pale from the pain.
She took a deep breath. “I’m sorry.”
Without looking at him, she did not have the courage to say anything more.
She stood up and ran out.
Outside the cafe, the warm winter sun shone.
She only felt her face turn cold. When she reached out to touch it, she realised that tears had unknowingly flowed down her face.
She had wanted to tell Shen Hanyu about their child.
However, she had hurt him too much, and he had no intention of getting back together with her.
If he was forced to accept her because of the child, then she might as well not force it.

Guo Muyang, who was waiting outside, was texting on his phone.
When he heard hurried footsteps, he looked up and saw Sang Qianqian walking past him with tears streaming down her face. She then got into a taxi and left.
When he returned to the private room, he saw Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened. He seemed to be deep in thought as he sat there. He had a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn’t smoke it.
Guo Muyang called him a few times before he came back to his senses. “Has she left?”
“Let’s go.”
Guo Muyang sighed slightly. “What did Miss Sang say to you?”
Shen Hanyu stared at the cigarette in his hand for a long time. When it was about to burn out, he raised his hand and put it out in the ashtray. He said hoa.r.s.ely, “She said that she and Xie s.h.i.+’an weren’t really together. Ruan Xiaodie coerced them.”
Guo Muyang was just about to drink his coffee when he heard that. He was stunned. “So she really came here this time to get you back and reconcile with you, just as Fang Lan guessed?”
Shen Hanyu lit another cigarette, but he did not smoke it as well. His face was hidden in the smoke, and his expression was incomprehensible.
His pupils were dark and dim. “At this point, is there still a need to reconcile?”
She broke up when she wanted to, got together when she wanted to, and divorced when she wanted to. She treated relations.h.i.+ps as child’s play.
Moreover, she and Xie s.h.i.+’an already had a child. Why was she so sure that he would wait for her to come back?
He put out the cigarette in his hand again. “Let’s go.”
Guo Muyang quickly followed, tactfully not mentioning Sang Qianqian again.
“Uncle Shen’s consultation should be over in a few days, right?”
Guo Muyang asked, “When do you plan to return to China?”
“I’ll help you sort out the company’s matters here,” Shen Hanyu said.
“That will take some time. It will take three to five months.”
Guo Muyang said, “But you have to take care of Uncle Shen anyway, so we can return to China together after everything is settled..”
“Go by yourself.”
Shen Hanyu glanced at him. “I’ll stay and take care of my dad. I’ll go back when he wakes up.”
Guo Muyang was speechless.
It seemed like he was really hurt by Sang Qianqian and didn’t even want to return to the capital.
However, Guo Muyang did not know how long Shen Hanyu could last.

Ming City.
White snow covered the land.
Sang Qianqian stood in front of the Sang family’s old house, which she hadn’t seen for a long time. The snow reflected a dazzling light under the winter sun.
In the courtyard, the Phoenix tree’s leaves had already fallen, and the branches were covered with snow, becoming a real jade tree.
Not far away, a thick layer of snow had fallen on her favourite swing. An unknown bird was jumping on the swing frame and chirping.
Her eyes were a little sore.
This time, she was really back. Back in Ming City, back to her old home.
Unfortunately, she did not return with Shen Hanyu as she had hoped when she was in the capital.
She still remembered that snowy night a few years ago when she and her brother decided to leave Ming City for the capital.
She had once told her brother that if they could return safely, she wanted to get Shen Hanyu back, if he was still not married and still wanted her.
Now, although he was not married yet, he did not want her anymore.
It was no longer possible for them.
***
The courtyard door opened. Sang Pengcheng, whose hair had already turned white, walked over quickly.
“You’re back?”
He looked at his daughter’s haggard and emaciated face. His eyes were filled with indescribable heartache. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Dad could have picked you up at the airport.”
“Dad,” Sang Qianqian’s eyes turned red..
