Chapter 188 - 188 He’s Back
188 He’s Back
Sang Minglang was stunned. He pushed her away and frowned, “Ruan Xiaoshuang, what do you want?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang held his hand tightly. “Minglang, I’ll take you somewhere.”
Sang Minglang laughed coldly, “Why should I go with you?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang insisted, “Didn’t you ask me what I want to do? You’ll know when you get there.”
Sang Minglang stared at Ruan Xiaoshuang for a long while, then gritted his teeth and said, “This will be the last time I’ll go with you, Ruan Xiaoshuang. After that, we’ll settle our scores. Don’t come to me again.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t care about his attitude. Instead, she took his hand and went downstairs.
A car was waiting downstairs. Sang Minglang followed Ruan Xiaoshuang into the car without saying a word, his expression a little cold.
He wanted to see what Ruan Xiaoshuang was up to today.
—
When they arrived at their destination.
When he saw the words ‘Marriage Registration Office’, Sang Minglang’s eyes trembled, “Ruan Xiaoshuang, you…”
Ruan Xiaoshuang took out her identification documents from her bag and smiled gently. “Qianqian gave me your family’s household register. Minglang, I was drunk last night and don’t remember what I said. But marrying you is something I’ve been thinking about for seven years. Minglang, if you’re willing, we can register our marriage now.”
Sang Minglang stared at Ruan Xiaoshuang with a strange and complicated gaze. In the end, he raised his hand and took his family’s household register.
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s expression suddenly froze, and disappointment appeared in her eyes. She laughed at herself. “You’re not willing, are you? It’s alright, I was too impulsive. I hope I didn’t scare you.”
“I’m not that timid.”
Sang Minglang said indifferently, “It’s better not to rush the wedding. It wouldn’t be too late to get the marriage certificate after we meet each other’s parents.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were filled with surprise. “Minglang, are you serious?”
Sang Minglang raised his brows, “When have I ever lied to you?”
“You did. The first time we met in Ming City, you lied to me. Everything you said was a lie.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were filled with tears, but her lips were smiling. “Minglang, you’re a liar,” she said coquettishly.
Sang Minglang felt a little uncomfortable, “I’m talking about the past. When did I ever lie to you when we were overseas?”
“Anyway, you’re the one who said it today. We’ll get our marriage certificate after we meet each other’s parents.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t hide her happiness. “From now on, you’re not allowed to go back on your word.”
Sang Minglang looked at her meaningfully. “I think I’m the one who should be saying that.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang thought of the past and her heart softened. “I’m sorry, Minglang. I shouldn’t have left without saying goodbye and caused you to be so seriously injured…”
Sang Minglang said nonchalantly, “Even if you did say goodbye and leave, the ending might’ve been the same.”
At that time, he was too rebellious and his relationship with his father was very stiff. He had never thought of going home. Ruan Xiaoshuang was his whole world.
How could he stay happy if his whole world was gone?
The more Sang Minglang pretended to be relaxed, the more uncomfortable Ruan Xiaoshuang felt. But now, she finally had a chance to make up for it.
For the rest of her life, she would be paying back what she had once owed him.
—
Ever since Sang Minglang and Ruan Xiaoshuang had reconciled, Sang Qianqian realized that her brother’s temper had improved a lot, and he wasn’t as hardworking as before.
In the past, he had never brought women home, but now, he often took the initiative to bring Ruan Xiaoshuang home for dinner.
After the meal, the two always pretended to accompany Sang Qianqian for a while. After she went upstairs to her room, the two of them would hold hands and sneak out on a date.
Occasionally, her brother would come home very late and bump into Sang Qianqian. He would even use the excuse that he had something to do at the company to work overtime.
He was treating her like a child.
Sang Qianqian was also speechless. She had already gotten married before, so how could she be so easily deceived?
During this period of time, she had been reading a thick medical book without eating or sleeping since she came to the capital. She had almost finished self-learning.
Whenever she was too tired, she would sometimes stand by the window and unconsciously look at the small courtyard next door.
It had been a long time since the lights were on inside.
Ever since she had met Shen Hanyu and the girl named Fang Lan that morning, no one had appeared in the courtyard next door.
Her brother said that it was a coincidence that Shen Hanyu’s house was next door. After all, Shen Hanyu always came to the capital for work, so he must have a place to stay.
Sang Qianqian did not think too much about it.
It was a good thing that Shen Hanyu did not come, but it would make her feel uneasy if she saw him.
—
A few days later, Sang Qianqian finally finished her medical book.
As for the few questions that she did not understand, Sang Qianqian went to consult the authoritative personnel in the hospital’s relevant department, and her doubts were immediately dispelled.
When Director Xue had said that she was extremely talented, wasn’t lying. He had sincerely acknowledged her.
Sang Qianqian’s knowledge in the medical field could indeed be used to infer many things.
Learning from another department might be difficult for others, but for Sang Qianqian, it was rather challenging. The more she learned, the more immersed she became. Her comprehension was not something that an average person could match.
Even though she had already memorized the knowledge and operations of the book, Sang Qianqian was still worried that something might go wrong.
In order to test the results of her studies, Sang Qianqian first tested it on her brother.
After being injected with a specially made tranquilizer and entering a state of hypnosis, Sang Minglang became extremely docile, answering whatever was asked.
Sang Qianqian first asked a few questions related to the company’s project progress, and her brother answered them truthfully.
“Between your sister and Ruan Xiaoshuang, who do you like more?” Sang Qianqian deliberately made things difficult for her brother.
This question had actually stumped Sang Minglang. He revealed a conflicted expression and finally said, “I like both.”
“Then, between your sister and Ruan Xiaoshuang, who do you love more?” Sang Qianqian asked.
This time, Sang Minglang did not hesitate to say Ruan Xiaoshuang’s name. Even though Sang Qianqian could understand his answer, she was still a little unhappy with her brother.
She could accept it if he hesitated before answering, but he didn’t even hesitate. He really loved Ruan Xiaoshuang.
When Sang Minglang woke up, he realized that Sang Qianqian wasn’t paying much attention to him.
Sang Minglang couldn’t figure out the reason behind her behavior. “Qianqian, did I offend you? Why are you ignoring me?”
Sang Qianqian glanced at him. “Don’t you know why I’m ignoring you?”
Sang Minglang really did not know.
He felt like he hadn’t even spoken much to his sister today, and after he had slept in his room, his sister was already like this. What did he do?
—
The winter was getting colder and colder by the day. However, soon after, winter passed and spring arrived.
“Brother, I’m going to Bailing Mountain to watch the snow with my colleagues today.”
When Sang Qianqian was eating breakfast, she said to Sang Minglang, “That place is quite far away. It’s in the outskirts, so we’ll be staying at a hotel around the area tonight. We won’t be coming back.”
“Which colleague?” Sang Minglang asked, “Male or female?”
“It’s a colleague from my department.”
Sang Qianqian smiled and lied without changing her expression. “There are both men and women.”
After dinner, she called the chauffeur at home and prepared to leave. However, she was surprised to see a car parked in the courtyard next door.
The car door was pushed open. A familiar and tall figure got out of the car.
With just one look, Sang Qianqian hurriedly retracted her gaze and got into the car with her head lowered. She instructed the chauffeur to start driving, “Please go to Bailing Mountain.”
