SWNOVELS Chapter 12
He’s Him, I’m Me
With that, Sang Pengcheng naturally discovered that Sang Qianqian had gotten injured while trying to save Xia Sitong.
He didn’t know if he should be angry or distressed. “No wonder she came back in a hurry that night and refused to come downstairs for the past few days. Why didn’t you tell me about such a big issue?”
Sang Qianqian knew that she was in the wrong. “I’m sorry, Dad. I was just worried that you and Brother would be worried. It’s just a small injury. It’s fine now...”
“You should’ve told us even if you’re fine. It’s only worrying if you don’t say anything!” Sang Pengcheng’s tone was stern.
“I know I was wrong.” Sang Qianqian obediently admitted her mistake. “I won’t do this again.”
Sang Pengcheng’s eyes widened. “So you want a next time?”
Sang Qianqian quickly said, “What I mean is, I’ll tell Dad and Brother everything in the future. I won’t hide anything from you guys anymore, okay?”
Sang Pengcheng snorted. “That’s more like it.”
Shen Shaofeng laughed. “Miss Sang is innocent, obedient, and sensible. Additionally, she’s also warm-hearted and helpful. I’m envious of you for having such a daughter.”
Sang Pengcheng laughed. “It’s just that sometimes she’s a little spoiled and willful. Alas, I’ve spoiled her too much.” contemporary romance
Although he said that, his expression couldn’t hide the pride and joy.
The servant brought in some snacks and tea. Then, Sang Pengcheng and Shen Shaofeng discussed the new product launch that the Shen family company was about to hold.
Sang Qianqian was getting bored listening to all this, so she tugged at Xia Sitong, who was beside her. “Let’s go out and play.”
In the past, whenever Xia Sitong saw Sang Qianqian, she’d always be timid and wouldn’t take the initiative to speak. Perhaps it was because Sang Qianqian had saved her that night, but Xia Sitong’s attitude towards Sang Qianqian was no longer as distant as before.
“I heard from Uncle Shen that you and Brother Hanyu are going abroad together.”
Xia Sitong continued with a complicated tone, “...And you’re going to the same school.”
“Who told you that?”
A tree of Phoenix flowers bloomed brightly in the garden, reflecting Sang Qianqian’s face. “He is him, and I am me. I won’t be going to the same school as him, and we won’t leave together.”
“But you’re not...”
“Don’t you like Brother Hanyu?” Xia Sitong mustered up her courage and asked.
Sang Qianqian smiled. “I don’t think so. I was just curious.”
“You really don’t like Brother Hanyu at all?” Xia Sitong was still suspicious.
“I don’t like him. Why would I lie to you?”
Sang Qianqian said, “I’m sorry. In the past, I didn’t know about your relationship and messed around. I hope you don’t mind.”
She looked at Xia Sitong with a smile. “Actually, I think that you and Shen Hanyu are childhood sweethearts. So you’re more suitable to be his girlfriend.”
Xia Sitong’s face reddened as she explained shyly. “No, no. How could I be suitable?”
Sang Qianqian was an experienced person, so how could she not see through Xia Sitong’s girly thoughts?
Xia Sitong would occasionally glance at Shen Hanyu, unable to hide the admiration in her eyes.
Sang Qianqian didn’t expose her. Instead, she smiled. “It’s none of my business. Anyway, I’ll be going overseas in a few days.”
She grabbed the swing and kicked hard, her body swinging high up.
Xia Sitong was afraid of heights and didn’t dare to swing too high, but Sang Qianqian was different. The higher she went, the happier she was.
When Shen Hanyu came to find them, he saw the girl under the Phoenix flower tree. With her bell-like laughter, her dress fluttered around in the wind.
The girl’s smile was bright and beautiful, and the fiery red Phoenix flower paled in comparison. Shen Hanyu’s eyes wavered.
In the past, he was very annoyed at Sang Qianqian for pestering him. He never even looked her in the eye.
However, once he let go of his prejudice...
Even Shen Hanyu, who wasn’t sensitive to a girl’s appearance, had to admit that Sang Qianqian was beautiful. It was as if she came out straight from an oil painting.
...
Shen Hanyu had come to ask Xia Sitong to leave. Shen Shaofeng and Xia Zhixin had to rush back to the company for the press conference, so they couldn’t stay for dinner.
Sang Qianqian and Sang Pengcheng sent them to the door and heard Shen Shaofeng say with a smile, “President Duo Chengsang invited Hanyu and Sitong to Yushan Island. It’s a blessing for them to see him. Thus, I won’t trouble you to send someone to pick them up tomorrow. I’ll arrange a car to send them directly to the seaside to meet Miss Sang.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat, and her mood instantly turned sour.
Yushan Island was a scenic spot project developed by the Sang family’s real estate company and hadn’t been opened to the public yet.
Sang Minglang hadn’t returned for the past two days as he was busy with the island’s opening.
Sang Qianqian was about to leave the country and originally planned to go to the island with Wen Xu to have fun before the opening.
She hadn’t expected Sang Pengcheng to invite Shen Hanyu and Xia Sitong without asking her opinion!
“That’s good too.”
Sang Pengcheng laughed as well. “With Hanyu and Sitong by Qianqian’s side, Qianqian will have company. So it’ll be more lively with people around.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
I have to thank you, Dad.
“I plan to go to the hospital tomorrow to accompany my mother,” Shen Hanyu said lightly. “I don’t think I’ll be going.”
Although his mother’s heart transplant was a success, she still had to stay in the hospital for observation for half a month to ensure there were no severe issues before she could be discharged.
Shen Shaofeng waved his hand. “You’ve been going to the hospital all this time, so you must be tired. Your mother said yesterday that doctors and nurses are taking care of her in the hospital, so you don’t have to miss her. You can go and play with Miss Sang.”
Shen Hanyu pursed his thin lips and didn’t say anything.
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
It seemed that her beautiful expectations from before were going to be ruined.
…
There was a sea on the outskirts of Ming City, and Yushan Island was in the middle of that sea. Looking from afar, the flowing water reflected the verdant mountains.
It was a beautiful location.
Even though Sang Minglang was extremely busy, he still personally drove the yacht to pick them up. When he saw Shen Hanyu and Xia Sitong, he frowned.
However, he could at least keep a straight face as a businessman.
Wen Xu, on the other hand, had a long face. He’d rather lean against the deck railing and enjoy the cold wind than return to the cabin.
The yacht sailed through the wind and waves, and the group soon arrived at Yushan Island.
Sang Minglang still had things to do, so he accompanied them for lunch and left in a hurry, leaving behind two staff members to bring them around.
The staff members were enthusiastic in their commentary, but unfortunately, the audience was too weak.
Shen Hanyu had always been indifferent, Xia Sitong was introverted and quiet, and Wen Xu was sulking.
As for Sang Qianqian, although she spoke a lot, she subconsciously restrained herself in front of Shen Hanyu and didn’t dare to be too lively.
The audience was eerily quiet the entire way. The staff member also noticed something was wrong, but he could only force himself to explain, “This mountain is called Mount Yu. There’s an immortal couple temple on the mountain that worships couples. From many rumors, it’s been said that the temple is very effective. In the past, people would always come here by boat to pay their respects.”
“Why would a fairy temple worship a husband and wife?”
Sang Qianqian found it strange. “Shouldn’t they worship the heavens?”
“Not a fairy,” the staff said with a smile, “It’s an immortal couple based on a historical event. The man was a general, and he was engaged to the woman. Although they weren’t married when they were alive, people believed that they became an immortal couple after they died and protected the people of Yushan Island.”
The staff member told a very sorrowful story. Sang Qianqian wanted to go up and take a look, but Wen Xu wasn’t willing.
Xia Sitong didn’t want to go as well. She was afraid of heights and all sorts of places involving climbing mountains. Thus, she wasn’t interested either.
As for Shen Hanyu... Forget it.
