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

95 You Can Take It if You Want, but Don’t Throw It Away

Sang Qianqian understood what Shen Hanyu meant. She could choose not to like him, but liking her was his business.

She couldn’t ask him not to like her unless he gave up on his own.

Sang Qianqian felt as if she was in a dream. It was even more shocking than the nightmare she had that day, and she felt even more flustered and helpless.

How could Shen Hanyu have feelings for her?

This seemingly impossible thing, which seemed like the sun rising from the west, had actually happened.

When Sang Qianqian returned home, she sat there for a long time in a daze. She got up and wanted to pour herself a glass of water, but the hot water overflowed and spilled down to her hand. She snapped out of her trance the moment the hot water hit her hand.

She realized that she was still… Quite weak.

She had already let go of Shen Hanyu many years ago, but she still felt uneasy when she heard what he said tonight. After all, he was the first person she had fallen for and the first person she had clumsily pursued using all her strength.

The final result wasn’t satisfactory, and could even be considered tragic.

After leaving Ming City, she didn’t know if it was because of that incident that had changed her so much. But she lost any expectations for love. As time passed, she didn’t even know what the so-called ‘love’ was.

All these years, she couldn’t even remember how many people had chased after her.

When she heard those fancy, subtle, and passionate confessions, her heart was as still as water. Instead, she felt more helpless. Even when she had agreed to be with Xie Shi’an back then, she had only calmly and actively chosen this beginning.

But tonight, Shen Hanyu hadn’t even confessed directly, but she had already lost her soul. Sang Qianqian’s gaze fell on the jewelry box in her hand, her feelings complicated.

Shen Hanyu had walked her downstairs and stuffed the jewelry box back into her hands. He said coldly, “I’ve never taken back the things I’ve given. You can take it if you want, but don’t throw it away.”

He left after saying this.

Sang Qianqian was really stumped for a long time. The main thing was that this thing was too expensive, and she couldn’t really throw it away.

She could only keep it for now and return it when there was a suitable opportunity.

The next night, Sang Qianqian and Wen Xu, who had just returned from a business trip, sent Yun Li off at Cloud Sea Restaurant.

Guo Muyang didn’t accept Yun Li’s interview last night, but Rong Ce had given her enough interview time.

The interview content she had received was enough to help her complete a report on an outstanding financial figure.

“My mission is finally completed.”

Yun Li was full of smiles. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll go back to Yuecheng to see our Chief Editor. This job can be considered saved.”

The meal lasted until after eight in the evening. As usual, Sang Qianqian made an excuse to leave.

Wen Xu was surprised. “Sister, aren’t you just going to further your studies? Why are there so many things happening in school?”

Yun Li was also a little dissatisfied. “I’m leaving tomorrow morning, but you won’t even accompany me to finish the meal.”

Sang Qianqian apologized. “Something came up at the last minute. I’ll definitely accompany you more the next time you come.”

“You’re the one who said it.”

“When I’m done with my work, I’ll definitely come to Ming City to play with you and Wen Xu,” Yun Li said with a smile.

“Again?”

Wen Xu was disgusted. “Next time you come, I won’t care about you.”

Yun Li glanced at him and wanted to say something, but she held back. “It’s fine. Even if you don’t care about me, you still have your sister.”

Wen Xu was surprised, “Why are you so easy to talk to today?” You’re not afraid of people anymore?”

“Didn’t I need your help to keep my job? I wouldn’t dare to diss you again.” Yun Li was all smiles.

She and Wen Xu sent Sang Qianqian downstairs. While Wen Xu was taking a call from the company, Yun Li leaned in and whispered into Sang Qianqian’s ear, “I hope I can hear good news about you and that mystery guest the next time I come.”

When Yun Li returned last night, she had asked who the mysterious guest from the auction was. Sang Qianqian had vaguely said that it was an old friend.

Yun Li didn’t know about her past with Shen Hanyu, and she only hoped Sang Qianqian would have a good ending with him.
