Chapter 157 - 157 A Kiss in the Night
157 A Kiss in the Night
After Ruan Xiaoshuang got her brother’s permission, she flew to Ming City that afternoon. When she got off the plane, she didn’t even go to the company. Instead, she went straight to the simple and crude house Sang Minglang was staying in.
She knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. She had waited from dusk till late at night, but Sang Minglang still did not return.
After hesitating for a long time, Ruan Xiaoshuang gave Sang Qianqian a call.
“You’ve been waiting for my brother there?”
Sang Qianqian was so shocked that she didn’t know what to say. “Well, Sister Xiaoshuang, actually my brother, he…”
She wanted to tell Ruan Xiaoshuang the truth, but she was afraid that her brother wouldn’t let her off. After thinking about it, she said, “Sister Xiaoshuang, wait a moment. I’ll get my brother to call you.”
After hanging up the phone, Sang Qianqian looked at her brother and said with a complicated tone, “Sister Xiaoshuang has been waiting for you since four in the afternoon, and she’s still waiting for you. You should give her a call.”
It was almost ten o’clock at night.
Sang Minglang’s expression was indifferent, “Why is she looking for me? Tell her I’m busy.”
Sang Qianqian was so angry that she was speechless. “You’re busy even when I’m the one on the phone?”
Sang Minglang stuffed the plate of strawberries back into her hands and said lightly, “Of course, I’m busy.”
He then turned around and went upstairs.
Sang Qianqian was speechless. She was so angry with her brother that she wanted to vomit blood.
She could only call Ruan Xiaoshuang again and find an excuse to cover it up.
On the other end, Sang Pengcheng had finally finished his long ‘interrogation’ with Shen Hanyu. He turned around to look at Sang Qianqian’s vague figure on the garden’s swing outside the window and smiled, “Qianqian has been waiting for you. Hurry up and go.”
Sang Qianqian wasn’t actually waiting for Shen Hanyu. She was just out for some fresh air because she was so angry with her brother.
Her brother was really something. How could he be so heartless to Ruan Xiaoshuang?
Even if they fell out, couldn’t they just be friends? He didn’t even bother to return a call.
He was really heartless.
Just as she was silently criticizing her brother in her heart, she looked up and saw a handsome man slowly walking towards her. He stood in front of the swing, looking down at her.
Looking into his dark and deep eyes, Sang Qianqian smiled slightly. “Is my father done with his questions?”
“Yes.” Shen Hanyu replied. His eyes were still fixed on her.
The girl smiled with her dimples. She looked up at him with her watery eyes and said in admiration, “Hanyu, sometimes I think you’re really amazing. You can make my father and brother accept you. You don’t know how much my father and brother hated you when we first came to Yuecheng.”
Sang Pengcheng hated Shen Hanyu for rejecting his precious daughter’s confession and causing her to be stabbed in the back, almost losing her life.
Moreover, Sang Minglang hated Shen Hanyu for Hongyuan Group’s downfall. Because of Shen Hanyu, they had to disappear completely and start over.
“At that time, when we were having dinner, my dad’s face would immediately turn dark whenever there was news about Phoenix on TV. My brother would be so angry that he wouldn’t even eat; He would just get up and leave with a dark face.”
Sang Qianqian recalled the past and felt a mix of emotions. “When my brother was angry, I didn’t even dare to say anything. Fortunately, a lot of things went smoothly after that, and I felt a little better.”
“Better?” Shen Hanyu repeated her last four words. He seemed confused.
“Yes. Do you think it was easy to convince my father to move without any pressure?”
Sang Qianqian tilted her head. “Hongyuan Group had such a huge business under its name, yet they had to sell it just like that. The Sang family’s many years of foundation was abandoned just like that. Even though my original intention was for the Sang family to be safe and sound, I still felt rather guilty toward my father and brother.”
At that time, Sang Minglang held his breath and insisted on developing the Sang family in the medical industry within the shortest time possible.
But to start over in a new place, all the resources and connections had to be rebuilt.
From the establishment of the company to its growth, there was a long road in the middle. They had to go through it again. They went through unimaginable hardships.
That was why she studied so hard in school. She completed the medical courses that she had studied for seven years in a row.
In the first two years, she only had a specialized course on mental attacks. In the next two years, other than specialized courses, she also had to do clinical practice. She was so busy that she worked day and night.
It was really bitter and tiring, so tiring that she felt like she was going to fall apart anytime and anywhere. At that time, she felt like she could fall asleep whenever and wherever she closed her eyes.
Now that she thought about it, Sang Qianqian didn’t even know how she managed to survive.
“You don’t know, but I had a special skill back then. Every time I took the subway from school to the hospital where I was on my internship, I could fall asleep while standing on the train, but I would wake up immediately when I reached the station.”
Sang Qian smiled and said, “Of course, I can’t do that anymore. I’ve tried it twice after returning to Yuecheng, but I always end up missing the station.”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened. “Why did you tire yourself out like that?”
Sang Qianqian replied seriously, “I wanted to come back earlier and spend more time with my dad. He worked too hard, and his health wasn’t good at that time. Furthermore, my brother can’t even wait for his life when he’s working. He ate and lived in the company. When I’m at home, he can at least restrain himself a little.”
Every time Sang Qianqian returned to the country to visit them, she couldn’t help but feel her heart ache.
There was nothing she could do to help them, so she could only put all her thoughts into her studies and return to Yuecheng earlier to accompany them.
At least, when she was at home, there was always some laughter in the house. Things wouldn’t feel so cold and lifeless.
The night wind blew over, ruffling the girl’s long hair and dress. The light sweet fragrance on her body also fell into his breath.
Shen Hanyu suddenly wanted to kiss her. For the five years they had missed, for the hardships they had suffered, for their reunion and for the day they met and loved each other.
He wasted no time in taking action. His fingers gently lifted the girl’s chin, and he lowered his head, about to kiss her.
Sang Qianqian panicked and covered his lips with her fingers. “Don’t. My dad and your dad are in the room. They can see us through the glass…”
“There’s a flower tree blocking the view, so they won’t be able to see clearly.”
His deep and doting voice fell into her ears, and his warm breath was like a light feather brushing past her ear. Sang Qianqian’s entire body trembled, but she still tried her best to keep her rationality. “No. Even if they can’t see clearly, that doesn’t mean we’re invisible. We… Umf…”
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed by the man and moved to the side. The next moment, her lips were covered.
All the words that she couldn’t say in time turned into small whimpers, drifting with the wind in the dark and quiet night.

In the living room, Shen Shaofeng and Sang Pengcheng were engrossed in their conversation and didn’t have the time to pay attention outside.
“I’ve looked at your company’s business layout. You’ve set up branches in many cities and built hospitals, but Ming City is the only city that doesn’t have any.”
Shen Shaofeng felt a little apologetic and said sincerely, “President Sang, why don’t you set up a branch company in Ming City and further expand your business?”
The provinces and cities around Ming City still had great comprehensive potential.
Of course, Shen Shaofeng knew that the Sang family gave up this market because of the Sang and Shen family’s disputes in the past. But now, they didn’t need to do that anymore.
