Chapter 407: Unfortunately, It’s Not You

Her tone was very calm, and her expression did not change. After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.
“Shuangshuang!”
Song Yu struggled to get off the bed and tried to chase after Ruan Xiaoshuang, but the Xie family’s chauffeur pushed him away rudely.
He fell to the ground and looked at Ruan Xiaoshuang’s back as she left. He was extremely depressed.
In the past, when he was living with her, she would take meticulous care of him even if he just had a headache or a fever.
But now, he was lying in the hospital, struggling to get out of bed, and Ruan Xiaoshuang did not even greet him.
He had indeed done something wrong, but she was too heartless. She had broken up with him without hesitation and destroyed everything he had.
How much of this woman’s warmth towards him when they were together back then was real?
“Shuangshuang,”
Song Yu shouted indignantly, “Did you… Did you ever like me?”
Even if it was just a little, he wouldn’t be so desperate as to ask for more love from her.
Ruan Xiaoshuang stopped and slowly turned her head.
She said softly, “I once loved someone deeply. Unfortunately, it wasn’t you.”
Since she had already come this far with Song Yu, she might as well go even further.
Telling the truth was cruel, but it didn’t matter anymore.
“I knew it, I knew it!”
Song Yu growled in pain, his eyes red. “Since you never liked me, why did you agree to marry me? Did you pity me or were you just grateful?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was silent for a few seconds. “I thought you were a good person. I’m sorry.”
She thought he was a decent man and that she could spend the rest of her life with him.
Unfortunately, he was not.
“That person is Sang Minglang, right? So, you two have rekindled your old feelings in private?”
Song Yu’s face was twisted. “No wonder he was willing to go to such lengths to help you. He defended you at the wedding and got those videos for you! You guys had planned this long ago, right?”
He was almost hysterical, “You promised to marry me on the surface, but secretly you slept with your old lover. Ruan Xiaoshuang, you say I have no shame, how can you be more noble than me?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang quietly ‘looked’ at the man in front of her. She could not see her eyes at the moment, but her ‘gaze’ seemed to carry a little sadness and pity.
She found it hard to understand why she had decided to marry Song Yu and spend the rest of her life with him.
This person’s character was far from what she had expected.
Perhaps they were never destined to be in the same world to begin with.
“You and your father are too similar.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang said softly, “I’m very glad that our relationship stopped at that wedding.”
“What do you mean? What do you mean by I’m too similar to my father?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t answer, nor did she stay any longer. The Xie family’s chauffeur walked forward, disappearing at the corner of the stairs.
Song Yu fiercely pounded his hand on the ground, the anger in his heart growing.
However, a moment later, he could not help but cry.
When he saved Ruan Xiaoshuang, he really liked that gentle and quiet girl.
He wanted to marry her.
Later on, because he had saved her life, he received some opportunities and was fortunate enough to see a different life.
However, he could not control his lower body, nor could he resist those temptations. He thought that he could deceive everyone, but he fell heavily.
Now, he had nothing left. The status, reputation, and wife he once wanted to marry had all disappeared like a dream…

In the evening, when Sang Qianqian got off work, the person who came to pick her up was not Jian Zheng, but Shen Hanyu.
“Didn’t you say that you will be busy until late today and that I should sleep early?”
Sang Qianqian smiled and walked over quickly. “Why are you here to pick me up?”
Her knee was injured, and she was walking a little unsteadily. Shen Hanyu noticed it immediately. “What’s wrong with your leg?”
“I fell and broke my skin a little.”
Sang Qianqian was afraid that Shen Hanyu would be worried about her and Ruan Xiaoshuang’s encounter in the afternoon, so she didn’t tell him about it.
Shen Hanyu’s handsome brows furrowed. He squatted down in front of her to check on her injuries.
Sang Qianqian hurriedly took a step back. “I’ve already dealt with it. It’s really nothing.”
He did not respond. He grabbed her ankle and swiftly pulled up the corner of her skirt.
The two palm-sized, bloody scratches on Sang Qianqian’s knees immediately came into view.
“Look, it’s all scabbed. We used the best trauma medicine in our department.”
Sang Qianqian pretended to be relaxed as she said, “I’ll be back to normal in a week at most.”
Shen Hanyu stood up without saying a word. He opened the car door, hugged Sang Qianqian by the waist, and put her in the passenger seat.
“Why didn’t you call me this afternoon? Why didn’t you ask Jian Zheng to send you?”
After Cui Yi’s accident, he had specifically arranged for Jian Zheng to protect her in secret. He had also specifically told her to ask the latter to escort her if she went out. Not only did she disobey him, she didn’t even tell him anything.
“I was just going to have a meal with Sister Xiaoshuang. The restaurant is just close by. It’s less than a ten-minute walk from the hospital…”
Sang Qianqian felt a little guilty. “We didn’t expect to meet Song Guanhua…”
Shen Hanyu did not respond and looked at her silently.
“I called the police at that time,” Sang Qianqian said softly. “The police handled it very quickly and caught Song Guanhua within a matter of time. Moreover, Sister Xiaoshuang and I only suffered some superficial injuries, so we didn’t tell you…”
Shen Hanyu stared at her for a long time. “If I didn’t come to pick you up today, would you not have told me at all?”
Sang Qianqian huffed and puffed. “Not really. I was planning to tell you when 1 got home…”
Shen Hanyu did not say anything. He looked away and started the car.
The atmosphere in the car seemed to be slightly low.
At this moment, the car had just reached an intersection when the light turned red.
Shen Hanyu stopped the car slowly, still not looking at her.
Sang Qianqian tugged at his arm, trying to start a conversation. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
If he continued ignoring her, she planned to just lean over and kiss him as an apology.
Shen Hanyu glanced at her but did not ignore her. “There’s news from Fang Lan. I have to go there tomorrow. If 1 can finish quickly, it’ll take three to five days. If I’m slow, it’ll take about ten days.”
He paused. “There should be a definite result this time.”
Sang Qianqian knew that Fang Lan had been helping Shen Hanyu investigate the truth behind Zhen Zhu’s mother’s death.
“That’s a good thing. You should be happy.”
Sang Qianqian blinked. “So why do you look so troubled and cold?”
“I’m not troubled, it’s just… I was worried about you.”
Shen Hanyu was silent for a few seconds. “Qianqian, have you ever thought about resigning?”
“Resign? I’m doing well. Why should I resign?”
Sang Qianqian was puzzled. “Hanyu, why did you suddenly mention this?”
Shen Hanyu had always respected her wishes and knew what she was after.
He would never interfere with her career choices. On the other hand, he would even try his best to create conditions to help her.
It was just like how he had given the hospital a large sum of money in the name of paying for the consultation fees. The Chinese medicine workshop that she worked in had received a large share of the money, which was why they could develop various businesses with great wealth.
But now, he wanted her to resign?
