I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 102 Won't You Give Us a Chance to Try to Be Together?

102 Won’t You Give Us a Chance to Try to Be Together?

Shen Hanyu wasn’t alone; Rong Ce was a few steps behind him.

Knowing that Sang Qianqian was going to attend his siblings’ birthday party, Rong Ce called Shen Hanyu after he was done with work.

Naturally, he didn’t invite Shen Hanyu to Yushan Island simply to attend the birthday party. Instead, he wanted to give him a chance to meet Sang Qianqian.

In the end, the two of them couldn’t find Sang Qianqian or Rong Yi at the banquet.

At that moment, Rong Ce’s heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that his brother had done something overboard.

Fortunately, Rong Yan said that Rong Yi had disappeared a long time ago and hadn’t even eaten the birthday cake. However, Sang Qianqian had only left after eating the cake.

“Sister Qianqian should be returning to her hotel room to rest.” Rong Yan said as she was about to call Sang Qianqian.

“Then let her rest,” Shen Hanyu said.

The birthday party venue was too noisy, so Rong Ce followed Shen Hanyu downstairs to the beach.

In the end, he had only taken a few steps when he saw Rong Yi and Sang Qianqian’s figures in the distance.

The night was quiet, and the sea breeze was gentle, making Rong Yi’s voice more clear to their ears.

“I don’t care about the future; I only want the present.”

“But I can’t even afford it now.”

Hearing Rong Yi’s words, Rong Ce’s face darkened. He was about to take his disappointing brother back, but Shen Hanyu stopped him.

Afterward, Rong Ce listened to Sang Qianqian and Rong Yi’s entire conversation with his heart in his mouth.

Fortunately, Rong Yi didn’t say anything he shouldn’t have said or do anything he shouldn’t have done.

Seeing that Sang Qianqian had already noticed them, Rong Ce walked over and greeted Sang Qianqian before reaching out to pull Rong Yi.

“You’re the host of such a grand birthday party, so why are you here? We’ve been looking for you.”

Rong Ce said, “Hurry up and go back with me. Big Brother still has a gift for you and Rong Yan.”

Rong Yi got up silently and followed his brother back. However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks when walked past Shen Hanyu.

The young man fearlessly looked up at Shen Hanyu and said coldly, “Shen Hanyu, you should be glad that you met her five years before I did.”

“What are you saying? You’re so rude!”

Rong Ce was so angry that he pulled Rong Yi away, “Even if it was five years later, you and Miss Sang wouldn’t have a chance to do anything!”

For someone like Shen Hanyu, once he fell, it would last for his entire life. No one could be as obsessed as Shen Hanyu; not even his brother.

After Rong Yi and Rong Ce left, only Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian were left standing by the sea.

Sang Qianqian stole a glance at Shen Hanyu. He was expressionless, and she couldn’t tell if he was happy or angry.

Feeling awkward and uneasy, Sang Qianqian walked a few steps away from Shen Hanyu. “President Shen, why don’t we go back as well?”

Shen Hanyu looked at her quietly, his dark eyes full of emotion. “Take a walk with me.”

Sang Qian was startled. Shen Hanyu said lightly, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you.”

Sang Qianqian’s thoughts were seen through by him. Her face turned red, but she still followed him.

They walked in silence. When she realized he was on the way to the top of Mount Yu, Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks.

“This place doesn’t seem to be open? Is it appropriate for us to go up like this?”

Sang Qianqian looked hesitantly at the huge warning sign on the side of the road. The words ‘Closed territory, no entry’ were written on it. Under the bright landscape lights, it was unusually striking.

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it,” Shen Hanyu replied.

When he met the girl’s puzzled gaze, he still explained, “Yushan Island is an a.s.set under Phoenix Technology’s name.”

He was Phoenix Technology’s President, so of course he could enter.

Sang Qianqian didn’t understand why a technology company would want to get involved in the real estate industry and buy Yushan Island.

But one who had money was certainly willful at times.

“Then why is only this place closed?” Sang Qianqian asked casually.

Shen Hanyu gave her a deep look. “Think about it yourself.”

Sang Qianqian fell silent.

It was a little strange.

His company bought this place and decided to open Yushan Island, but they closed this area off. They must have their own considerations and reasons.

How could she, an outsider, know?

Perhaps it was because this place was restricted from the public, but the road to the top of Mount Yu was exactly the same as it was five years ago.

On the mountaintop, the quiet moonlight enveloped the small ancestral hall. Sang Qianqian walked around the ancestral hall and reminisced about the origins of the Immortal Couple Temple.

The two statues in the ancestral hall were a man and a woman. The man was said to be a general, and the woman was his fiancée.

The man was ordered to lead the army to fight against the j.a.panese, and the j.a.panese were defeated one after another. Afterward, he sent someone to infiltrate Yushan Island and kill everyone on the island, but only let his fiancée jump into the sea to escape. He then sent a j.a.panese disguised as a fisherman to save the woman and send her to the general.

On the day the general besieged the j.a.panese, he was ambushed by the enemy and the army suffered heavy casualties. After investigating, they found out that the spy was brought into the army by his fiancée.

The general felt that he had let down the Imperial Court and his dead brother, so he was determined to die. He wrote a letter of divorce and broke off the engagement.

The woman’s heart was broken as she cried and begged for forgiveness. However, the general hardened his heart and expelled her from the camp.

Half a year later, the general received a letter. In the letter, there were details of the j.a.panese’s stronghold and military arrangement. The general decided to take the risk and ended up winning the war.

Only then did the general realize that the person who had sent him the letter was his ex-fiancée. For the past half a year, she had hidden in the enemy team’s camp, lost her innocence, and endured humiliation, all for this day.

Ultimately, the woman’s wish had been fulfilled. After seeing the general one last time, she had no more worries and returned to Yushan Island to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

The general was extremely mournful. He ignored the strange looks of the world and held a wedding with the deceased woman. On their wedding night, he held the woman’s corpse and sat silently all night.

The next morning, the general personally buried the woman and then committed suicide in front of her grave.

The later generations remembered their love and built an ancestral hall for them, naming it “Immortal Couple Temple.”

Even though she knew that this story was just a legend and might not be true, Sang Qianqian still felt a sense of loss in her heart.

Five years ago, she was still young and treated it as a sentimental love story. But five years later, with more life experience, she couldn’t help but feel even more sad.

When Sang Qianqian came out of the ancestral hall, she saw Shen Hanyu standing in front of the stone tablet in the courtyard, lost in thought as he read the words engraved on the stone.

The night wind softly blew past his clothes, and the moonlight fell on him; shining on the man’s extraordinarily handsome and cold face.

Sang Qianqian thought back to five years ago when she met Shen Hanyu in the ancestral hall. She thought he had already left, but he was still waiting for her in front of the stone tablet.

On the way back, she got a horrible stomach ache. It was Shen Hanyu who carried her down the mountain and sent her to the hospital.

Sang Qianqian walked to Shen Hanyu’s side with mixed feelings.

The man turned around and looked down at her.

In the night, Shen Hanyu’s deep voice slowly rang out. “Sang Qianqian, you don’t hate me, do you? You can’t like me because of that nightmare, but that nightmare and reality are miles apart. What you’re worried about will never happen.”

He stared into Sang Qianqian’s eyes with a cold, gentle, but restrained and forbearing gaze.

“Let’s just treat this reunion as our first meeting. Won’t you give us a chance to try to be together?”
