292 The Falling Flowers Are Interested, but the Flowing Water Is Heartless(2)
Fang Lan was surprised. “Where did he go?”
“I don’t know where he went, but Young Master Han left last night and said he would only be back in a few days.”
“With his body like that, he still went out for a few days?”
Fang Lan was also speechless. “Grandma Zhen agreed to let him go?”
The servant smiled and said, “Didn’t you know, Miss Fang? Young Master Han’s illness has already been cured. He can walk now.”
Fang Lan couldn’t believe her ears. “Are you sure that Hanyu has recovered?”
The servant smiled and nodded. “A doctor recently came to see Young Master Han the day before yesterday. After taking the medicine she gave him, Young Master Han recovered early yesterday morning. Not only can he walk, but he also looks much more energetic. Otherwise, how could Old Lady Zhen be at ease letting Young Master Han go out?”
Fang Lan still couldn’t believe it. This was too unexpected. She had just gone on a business trip, and the poison that so many doctors claimed to have no cure of was actually treated?
In the front hall, Old Lady Zhen and Zhen Yiping were chatting, while their granddaughter, Zhen Huan, was drawing and playing.
“Hanyu has indeed recovered. It happened yesterday morning,”
The old lady seemed to be in a good mood. “However, it will take some time for him to fully recover. Didn’t Hanyu tell you?”
Fang Lan forced a smile. “Maybe he was too happy and forgot to inform me.”
“Or maybe he knew that you were on a business trip and was afraid of delaying your business, so he wanted to wait for you to come back and give you a surprise.”
Old Lady Zhen took her hand and patted it gently to comfort her. “He probably didn’t expect that would happen, as well.”
“Anyways, where did Hanyu go? Why was he in such a hurry?”
“He said that his company has a key project in Yuecheng and encountered some technical problems, so he had to go. He left at 10 last night.”
Old Lady Zhen shook her head. “I couldn’t persuade him no matter what, so I could only let him go. Fortunately, the doctor who cured his poison is with him, so there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Fang Lan was curious, “Who is this doctor?”
“She’s a doctor from the capital, Sang Qianqian.”
Zhen Huan looked up and said seriously, “Cousin Hanyu left with her on a private jet last night. Sister Fang Lan, that Miss Sang is so beautiful. Please tell Cousin Hanyu not to stay in Yuecheng for too long…”
The child was very familiar with Fang Lan and had long regarded her as her cousin-in-law. That was why she said that.
Fang Lan was dumbfounded. She did not expect Sang Qianqian to find a cure for such a difficult poison, and she did it so quickly, too.
No wonder Shen Hanyu had left in such a hurry. He had gone to Yuecheng with Sang Qianqian.
Yuecheng should be Sang Qianqian’s home. They must have returned to the Sang family together.
“The adults are talking, so why are you interrupting?”
The old lady stopped Zhen Huan and explained kindly, “Don’t misunderstand, Xiao Lan. The doctor also had something urgent to attend to and had to go back to Yuecheng as well. She’s Hanyu’s savior after all. It just so happens that Hanyu is also going to Yuecheng, so he gave her a ride.”
“How could I misunderstand-”
Fang Lan thought that it would be normal for Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian to be together.
Zhen Yiping said gently, “Xiao Lan just came back from a business trip, right? Let’s go and eat first.”
“No, no,”
Fang Lan waved her hand. “I met a doctor on a business trip this time. I was going to ask Hanyu to try getting treated by him, but since he’s recovered, I don’t think I’ll need him anymore.”
She stood up and said with a smile, “Second Uncle is still waiting for me to go back and report on my work. I’ll take my leave first.”
Old Lady Zhen nodded. “When Hanyu returns in a few days, you and your second uncle can come over for dinner.”
Fang Lan agreed and left in a hurry.
When she passed by Shen Hanyu’s residence, she could not help but stop in her tracks and stand there for a long time.
Her emotions were very complicated.
Apart from joy and relief, there was also an indescribable sense of loss that was difficult to speak of.
She had never hidden her feelings and admiration for Shen Hanyu, but she always knew her limits and the distance between them.
Therefore, she never had any extravagant hopes that she shouldn’t have.
The only exception was the day when Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian broke up, and the old lady had enthusiastically tried to match her with Shen Hanyu.
At that time, Fang Lan was really tempted, but Shen Hanyu refused her, so she gave up on the thought.
She had been working day and night for this business trip. Yesterday, she had taken a day off and tried her best to persuade the old doctor to agree to treat Shen Hanyu.
Unexpectedly, Shen Hanyu had already recovered yesterday.
However, he did not even tell her about such a big thing. But he was not wrong in not telling her.
It was the months of being together and keeping him company that gave Fang Lan the wrong impression and extravagant hope that Shen Hanyu would have a different impression of her.
But now, it seemed that it was just her own one-sided self-deception.
In fact, Fang Lan was not a sentimental person. However, for some reason, at this moment, she suddenly felt a sadness that she had never felt before.
A person who she had always admired and looked up to was originally like the stars in the sky, visible but unattainable.
However, one day, this star-like person suddenly fell beside her like a pearl covered in dust.
He guided her in professional knowledge without reservation and fulfilled all her requests, while she silently accompanied him and comforted him.
She had thought that this kind of company would continue until the last day of her life.
However, the moment she turned her head, she realized that Hanyu was still Hanyu. The person by his side could no longer be her. Who could be at absolute ease?
Fang Lan sighed softly. She had been to Shen Hanyu’s place many times in the past.
Perhaps she should not have come back after that.
—
“Hanyu’s fine now. So why does Xiao Lan look unhappy?”
Not far away, Zhen Yiping looked at Fang Lan’s back as she left without looking back, deep in thought.
“How can she feel happy? Hanyu didn’t tell Xiao Lan that he had recovered, and he went to Yuecheng with Miss Sang instead.”
Old Lady Zhen frowned. “When Hanyu comes back, I think the marriage between the two families should be put on the agenda again.”
