Chapter 399: Am I Scary?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This manor belonged to the Xie family and was not open to the public.
Xie Shi’an wanted to give Ruan Xiaoshuang a perfect wedding as much as possible, so he specially chose this European-style manor as the wedding venue.
Walking through the gate, it was as if they had travelled through a garden. The Roman columns were retro, the wishing well was elegant, and the crystal curtains were slowly rotating. Along the way, blooming flowers in various colors decorated the surroundings. The venue was extravagant, adorned with an exquisite and dreamy atmosphere. There wasn’t a single flaw in sight.
Although Sang Qianqian had already seen the venue once before, she was still slightly shocked when she saw the view with all the lights on.
As for the guests who had just arrived, they felt as if they were in a dream. Their eyes were filled with shock and admiration.
It was obvious that Xie Shi’an had put in a lot of effort for this wedding ceremony.
He intended to give Song Yu a big gift, so he only told him that the wedding would be held in the manor and that the Xie family would prepare everything. He didn’t tell him that the wedding would be decorated so magnificently.
At the reception area, Song Yu could not hide his ecstasy. He was excitedly thanking Xie Shi’an. “It’s all thanks to President Xie that the wedding venue could look so amazing. Thank you so much…”
Xie Shi’an didn’t know about Song Yu’s affair, so he was very polite and chatted with him.
Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu’s arrival took away his attention. He quickly said a few perfunctory words and approached the two.
“Qianqian.”
After Xie Shi’an greeted Sang Qianqian, he turned around and nodded at Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu nodded indiscernibly in return.
The two of them used to be on acquaintance-level on the surface, but ever since Jian Zheng had kidnapped Cui Ke for several days, the atmosphere between them became tense.
“Where’s Xiaodie?” Sang Qianqian quickly asked Xie Shi’an. “She didn’t come with you?”
“Cui Ke is playing with her at the wishing well.”
Xie Shi’an smiled. “She woke up early this morning and said that she wanted to dress prettier to attend her sister’s wedding. A few days ago, she even personally made a gift for Sister Xiaoshuang. She’s becoming more and more sensible now.”
“She will only become more sensible in the future.”
Sang Qianqian also smiled and said, “Let’s go. I want to see her.”
The few of them chatted as they walked toward the wishing well.
From afar, they saw a fairy-like girl with long hair hanging down to her waist and wearing a white gauze dress. She was crawling to the front of an angel statue by the pool and curiously reaching out to touch the spring water that was spraying with the rhythm of the music.
Cui Ke was anxious, but he did not dare to pull her away forcefully. He could only try to persuade her, “Miss, come down quickly. It wouldn’t be good if you fall.”
The three of them had already arrived at the statue. Xie Shi’an waved his hand. “It’s okay. Let her play, 1 can just watch her.”
Only then did Cui Ke see Xie Shi’an and the others. The moment he saw Sang Qianqian, he remembered her story of his brother ‘coming back from the dead’.
He had a feeling that Sang Qianqian was trying to take revenge on Cui Yi, so he couldn’t help but feel jealous. He wanted to question her, but since Shen Hanyu was standing beside her, he didn’t dare to do anything and could only step aside.
Next to the statue, Ruan Xiaodie heard Xie Shi’an’s voice and turned around. She looked down and saw Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu beside her. It was unknown if she was shocked or something else, but she slipped and fell from the statue.
Xie Shi’an’s expression changed and he rushed over to catch her.
Ruan Xiaodie was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Sang Qianqian gently patted her back and coaxed her gently, “It’s alright, it’s alright.”
Xie Shi’an nervously checked her body. Fortunately, Ruan Xiaodie was not injured, but her palm had a cut. Ruan Xiaodie’s eyes were red and she raised her hand in pain. “It hurts.”
Shen Hanyu did not say a word. His eyes fell on the crystal clear white pearl bracelet on Ruan Xiaodie’s wrist and stared at it for a few seconds.
Ruan Xiaodie seemed to be a little afraid of Shen Hanyu. She pointed at him with her trembling hand. “H-he’s so scary…”
“He looks scary, but he’s not a bad person.”
Sang Qianqian quickly comforted her, “Be good, Xiaodie. Don’t be afraid.”
Ruan Xiaodie pursed her lips and retracted her head back into Xie Shi’an’s arms, obviously not agreeing with Sang Qianqian’s words.
Xie Shi’an was worried about her, so he said to Sang Qianqian, “1’11 take her to get some treatment.”
Sang Qianqian nodded. “See you later.”
“Is that the Ruan family’s Second Miss?”
Shen Hanyu stared at the departing figures of Xie Shi’an and Ruan Xiaodie. His black eyes narrowed slightly. “The bracelet on her hand is quite special.”
Sang Qianqian was slightly startled. Shen Hanyu had never been the type to care about a girl’s accessories. Why would he suddenly say something like that?
“Xiaodie was wearing that bracelet when she was abroad. It seemed to be a gift from her aunt, but it looks like ordinary jewelry.”
Sang Qianqian was puzzled. “How is it special?”
“That’s no ordinary jewelry.”
Shen Hanyu said meaningfully, “If I’m not wrong, there should be a chip in the bracelet. It’s special high-tech smart sensing jewelry.”
This was a smart bracelet developed by a well-known foreign jewelry company. It looked no different from an ordinary bracelet, but its functions not only surpassed that of a smartphone, but it also had many shocking black technologies.
However, because the price was extremely expensive and extremely niche, each model needed to be customized and had not yet been listed in the country.
Sang Qianqian suddenly understood. “Xiaodie’s situation is rather special. Her aunt probably gave her this kind of jewelry for her safety.”
Shen Hanyu did not deny her words. ‘I heard you say that her intelligence was abnormal because she was stimulated when she was younger? I saw that she was able to answer questions so easily.”
“That’s because I’ve been treating her all this time.”
Sang Qianqian said, “You don’t know, but Xiaodie used to be very timid. She didn’t dare to talk to strangers, and she didn’t communicate much with people. Now, she has recovered to the level of a seven or eight-year-old child’s IQ. With time, she might be able to completely return to normal.”
“With the IQof a seven or eight-year-old child, logically speaking, she shouldn’t have fallen from this.”
Shen Hanyu looked at the statue thoughtfully. The surface of the statue was less than half a meter from the ground, and there were even smooth stone steps around it. No matter what, she wouldn’t have been able to fall so badly.
“She must have been frightened by our sudden appearance, especially by you.”
Sang Qianqian looked at Shen Hanyu and pursed her lips into a smile. “You’re as cold as an iceberg from head to toe. Even 1 used to be scared of you, let alone Xiaodie. Didn’t you hear what she said? You’re so scary.”
“I’m already very restrained in front of you.”
Shen Hanyu pulled her into his arms. He was unhappy with her calling him scary. “Look at me carefully. Am I scary?”
Sang Qianqian was very tactful and shook her head like a rattle-drum. “No, not at all. In fact, my husband is the most handsome.”
Shen Hanyu smiled. “That’s more like it.”
