I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 220 He Wanted to Keep Her by His Side

220 He Wanted to Keep Her by His Side

Xie Shi’an did not say anything. Instead, he only turned on his phone, typed in Shen Hanyu’s name, and handed it to Sang Qianqian. There was a list of news about Shen Hanyu’s accident.

Sang Qianqian’s eyes swept over it and her face turned pale.

By the time she had skimmed through a few news articles, her hands were shaking so much that she could not hold her phone.

The news had briefly described what had happened, and it didn’t mention why Shen Hanyu had appeared in the abandoned mental hospital.

They only said that Shen Hanyu had been involved in an explosion there and had been seriously injured.

Sang Qianqian closed her eyes. “Did Ruan Cheng use me to trick Hanyu into going there?”

Xie Shi’an was silent for a moment. “Yes.”

Actually, Sang Qianqian could have guessed it even without asking. However, she had heard with her own ears that Shen Hanyu had indeed gotten into an accident because of her.

Her heart shattered inch by inch, and the pain was unbearable.

The phone fell to the ground with a thud, and the teacup on the table fell. The teacup tipped over, the hot tea spilling onto the back of her hand.

Xie Shi’an hurriedly grabbed a tissue and wanted to help her wipe the water. However, she pushed Xie Shi’an away, got up, and walked out.

Her mind was in a daze, and her eyes were straight, as if she had lost her soul. She seemed to not hear Xie Shi’an at all.

It wasn’t until she reached the entrance of the courtyard and Ruan Cheng’s men stopped her that she realized where she was.

Xie Shi’an held her hand and wanted to bring her back to the house. She suddenly broke down and struggled violently.

“Xie Shi’an, can’t you let me out?”

“I want to see Hanyu. Let me out. I want to see him…” she sobbed.

Xie Shi’an’s heart ached. At first, he tried to coax her, but she wouldn’t listen at all.

She seemed to have completely lost her mind and was crying uncontrollably. Over and over again, she kept saying that she wanted to go out. She wanted to go out and see Shen Hanyu.

In the end, Xie Shi’an almost broke down from her crying. He couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted, “Qianqian, Shen Hanyu is dead! Even if you go out, you won’t be able to see him!”

She stood there in a daze, her tears flowing silently as she choked on her sobs.

“Qianqian, come back to my room with me, okay?”

Xie Shi’an pulled her back to the living room.

After a long while, her emotions seemed to have finally calmed down a little, and she no longer cried.

“Ruan Cheng just hopes that you can return to the Xie family. Now that you’ve returned, how long do I have to stay here?”

She looked at Xie Shi’an. Her eyes were red and swollen, but her tone was cold. “You can’t keep me here forever.”

It wasn’t that Xie Shi’an had not thought about this problem. Even though he hadn’t been here these past few days, he would think of her almost every night.

He remembered that she lived in the small courtyard that he and his sister used to live in. She lived in his house.

No matter how difficult it was to go through with the current situation, he could endure and do it because of her.

Whenever he was frustrated, he would calm down quickly at the thought of her being here.

He had to admit that before the news of Shen Hanyu’s accident had spread, he had been in a bad mood. Xie Shi’an was thinking more about how to let her return safely.

However, Shen Hanyu had an accident, and he was no longer around. In Xie Shi’an’s heart, another unspeakable thought emerged.

This thought only grew stronger when he saw her sitting quietly in his house, bathed in the light of the setting sun.

“Xie Shi’an,”

Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Sang Qianqian’s voice became even more serious.”I’m asking you, when are you going to let me go!”

Xie Shi’an’s thoughts turned back and forth. The words that were at the tip of his tongue did not come out. It was obvious that once he said it, he would definitely be rejected.

“Qianqian, can you wait a little longer?”

Xie Shi’an said in a low voice, “I’ll try my best to convince Ruan Cheng. It’s just that I need time.”

Sang Qianqian bit her lip and did not say anything.

Xie Shi’an glanced at her and said softly, “Your brother is doing fine now. With Sister Xiaoshuang by his side, Ruan Cheng won’t hurt him. You don’t have to worry about the hospital. I’ve applied for a long leave for you. When you can go out in the future, you can come back to the hospital whenever you want.”

Tears welled up in Sang Qianqian’s eyes again, but she held them back. She wanted to ask how her father was doing, but she didn’t dare to.

She turned her head. “You can go. I want to be alone for a while.”

Xie Shi’an was worried about her, but Sang Qianqian had already gotten up and returned to her room.

Xie Shi’an sat in silence for a while. Shao Jin called him, and he had no choice but to leave. He received a call from one of the men in the courtyard the next evening.

He said that Sang Qianqian had not come out since the night before. She didn’t eat a single meal and had been sleeping the entire time. During the day, she would shout and say that she wasn’t hungry. At night, she wouldn’t wake up no matter how much they shouted.

When Xie Shi’an rushed over, he saw that Sang Qianqian’s face was red from the heat. He was furious and questioned them why they didn’t call earlier.

The servants and the leader of the bodyguards were scolded badly, but they didn’t dare to say anything.

Xie Shi’an was a doctor, so he immediately sent someone to buy medicine. When he helped Sang Qianqian up and fed her medicine, she opened her eyes in a daze and called out for Shen Hanyu.

Xie Shi’an was silent for a few seconds. He asked her to open her mouth and fed her the medicine.

She drank the water and took the medicine in a daze. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She grabbed Xie Shi’an’s hand and said, “It’s not my brother who’s guarding me, but it’s you, right?”

After a day of fever, her voice was a little hoa.r.s.e. The way she looked at him had the kind of blankness and absent-mindedness that people with a high fever would have. Xie Shi’an didn’t know how to respond, so he could only mumble.

She was stunned for a moment and suddenly threw herself into Xie Shi’an’s arms. She said in a sobbing voice, “I knew it. You’re not dead. You’re still alive. Hanyu, I missed you so much…”

She wouldn’t stop crying in his arms, her hot tears wetting Xie Shi’an’s clothes.

Xie Shi’an reached out hesitantly and wrapped his arm around Sang Qianqian’s shoulder, hugging her. Her body was very soft and had a light fragrance.

When Xie Shi’an held her in his arms, his heart was trembling.

His body and mind were filled with an indescribable feeling. It was soft and sour, but there was also a faint throbbing and satisfaction.

The desire to keep her by his side was stronger than ever. It hit him again and again, making his blood heat up. He wanted to keep Sang Qianqian by his side.

She used to be married to Shen Hanyu, but he was no longer around. He and Sang Qianqian could still start over.

They were once a couple, and now, they could still get back together.

—

Sang Qianqian’s illness came quickly and fiercely, and her fever receded and repeated, but it could not be completely eradicated.

Xie Shi’an was too busy and couldn’t come to look after her every day. He could only arrange for the Ruan family’s doctor to come over and take care of her.

It was said that her illness came like a mountain falling, but also left smoothly like silk.

Sang Qianqian stayed in bed for more than ten days. Soon, she was finally able to get out of bed, and she slowly regained her spirits.

When Xie Shi’an came to see her again, she was standing in the courtyard, watering a bunch of Begonia flowers with her eyes lowered.

At that time, the sun was clear, and the Begonia petals were as bright as the sunset. They reflected her quiet and beautiful face, which was as beautiful as a painting.

Xie Shi’an looked at her for a long time and suddenly blurted out, “Qianqian, there’s a way for you to regain your freedom.”
