172 How Can He Tolerate It So Much?
When Shen Hanyu held the girl’s hand, he realized that it was very cold.
The weather in late October was already a little chilly, but she was wearing very thin clothes.
Shen Hanyu took off his coat and draped it over the girl’s shoulders. He pulled her into the car and raised the temperature a little.
He then looked at her with a smile. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Sang Qianqian thought for a moment and said the name of a restaurant.
She had been to this restaurant with Shen Hanyu before, and he seemed to like the food there.
“I’m asking you what you want to eat.”
“I’ll cook tonight,” Shen Hanyu said, “Ee’ll eat at home.”
Sang Qianqian was stunned. “You’ll do it?”
“Didn’t I promise to cook for you when I’m free?”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were smiling, and his voice was gentle. “I was afraid you wouldn’t wait.”
This sentence had a deep meaning.
In a short period of time, there had been two shootings in a row. Once, he had injured his arm, and the other time, his life was in danger.
He was really afraid that Sang Qianqian would suddenly want to break up like in her dream.
“How can that be?”
Sang Qianqian replied vaguely, but her heart was a little stifled and flustered. She turned her head to look at the street view outside.
Shen Hanyu went to the supermarket halfway.
As Sang Qianqian was wearing very little clothes, he was afraid that she would catch a cold. He did not let her get out of the car. Instead, he went to buy some groceries, as well as Sang Qianqian’s favorite fruit and snacks.
Soon, they returned to Imperial Creek Terrace.
Sang Qianqian was about to help, but Shen Hanyu shoved the washed fruits into her hands and pushed her out of the kitchen. “Be a good girl and wait here. We’ll eat in a bit.”
Sang Qianqian slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The sky outside was not completely dark, but the city’s neon lights were already lit up, and the night view of Ming City could be seen at a glance.
She stood there for a while before going to the kitchen.
Shen Hanyu was cutting vegetables with great familiarity.
The man’s side profile, which had always been cold and indifferent, was now gentle and focused. There was an inexplicable warmth in his eyes.
“You seem so engrossed?” Shen Hanyu had already noticed that Sang Qianqian was behind him.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time and only staring at him in a daze, he turned back to look at her and smiled. “Do I look that good when I cook?”
This sentence was originally just a bit of teasing.
Unexpectedly, Sang Qianqian nodded her head seriously. “Yes.”
Shen Hanyu paused in the middle of cutting the vegetables, and the smile on his face deepened. “Then watch a little longer.”
He lowered his head and continued to cook.
A moment later, a pair of soft arms reached out from behind and gently wrapped around his waist.
The girl’s soft body snuggled tightly against him. Shen Hanyu’s body stiffened as he turned around. His dark eyes landed on her face. “Qianqian, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I just saw you cooking and felt… You’re so handsome that I want to hug you.”
Sang Qianqian smiled, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him on his chin. “I’ll wait for you outside. You can go back to your work.”
Shen Hanyu was speechless.
Sometimes, she was really like a little seductress.
She could easily stir up his emotions, but she turned around and ran away as if nothing had happened.
—
Shen Hanyu was a fast cook, but the taste and appearance of the dishes were surprisingly good.
Sang Qianqian had a taste of every dish and was a little surprised. “Hanyu, how can you make such delicious food with the same ingredients?”
Under the light, the girl’s eyes were glistening. She looked at him with a little admiration.
Shen Hanyu’s heart was stirred by the look in her eyes. He held her face and lowered his head to kiss her.
Perhaps, he had restrained himself for too long, but it was difficult to stop at the beginning.
He kissed her from her lips all the way to her long, fair neck.
Sang Qianqian allowed him to kiss her as he pleased, not struggling at all.
The night sky outside the window was blurry, and so were the people.
In the end, his rationality prevailed, and Shen Hanyu forced himself to stop.
He let go of Sang Qianqian and his eyes were dark. “Let’s eat first.”
Sang Qianqian’s brain was a little lacking in oxygen, and she was still gasping for breath.
She was led to the table by him, feeling a little lost. It took her a while to come back to her senses, and she couldn’t help but look at Shen Hanyu several times.
The man was calmly scooping soup for her, as if the person who had almost lost control just now was not him.
Sang Qianqian thought to herself with mixed feelings. Wasn’t it said that men would easily fall for the woman they liked?
But how could Shen Hanyu be so patient?
It was like this this time, and it was the same the last time he carried her to the bed.
Was she not charming enough?
Because of this incident, Sang Qianqian’s eating speed was much faster.
After dinner, it was Shen Hanyu’s turn to clean up the kitchen.
Sang Qianqian was nowhere to be seen in the living room, so she must have gone upstairs.
Shen Hanyu went upstairs. When he passed by his bedroom, he stopped for a moment.
With Sang Qianqian’s personality, she probably would not take the initiative to sleep in his room.
Shen Hanyu went to the bedroom at the end of the corridor.
This room was specially designed by Shen Hanyu according to Sang Qianqian’s previous room. It used to contain many secrets that he could not reveal to outsiders.
Previously, when Sang Qianqian performed acupuncture on him at night, he would occasionally stay over and sleep here.
“Qianqian.” Shen Hanyu knocked on the door. “Are you asleep?”
There was no response.
Shen Hanyu pushed the door open. the lights were off, so he looked around but could not find sang qianqian.
He turned around and quickly returned to his bedroom. As expected, he saw the girl curled up under the blanket, lying on her side.
Shen Hanyu’s eyes fell on the girl, and an indescribable feeling spread through his limbs and bones like a tide, filling his heart with warmth.
She must have fallen asleep. Even when he came in, she did not move at all.
During this period of time, she had to run back and forth between the school and the hospital to take care of him. It was indeed tiring.
Afraid of waking Sang Qianqian up, Shen Hanyu quietly left the room, closed the door, and went to the study.
Turning on his computer, Shen Hanyu called for a brief meeting with the senior management of each department. He got a general idea of the company’s current progress and handled some of the more urgent matters.
It was late at night when he finished his work. Shen Hanyu gave Guo Muyang a call.
During the time he was injured, there had been some problems with his overseas business, so Guo Muyang had to go abroad a few days ago and had not been able to return.
The problem on the other end was indeed a little tricky, and Guo Muyang was simply overwhelmed.
He hadn’t contacted Shen Hanyu because he was in the hospital, afraid that it would affect his recovery.
When he received Shen Hanyu’s call, Guo Muyang was so excited that he almost cried. He quickly explained the problem.
It was a long call.
When the fight finally ended, Guo Muyang let out a long sigh of relief.
Shen Hanyu’s insight and decisiveness in the business field were worthy of Guo Muyang’s admiration.
It was a mess that couldn’t be sorted out, but Shen Hanyu could grasp the main line at a glance and sort out the situation in a few moments.
After chatting with him, Guo Muyang felt a sense of enlightenment.
