Why Don’t You Take the Initiative?

Sang Qianqian felt wronged upon hearing Xia Sitong’s words.

However, looking at Xia Sitong’s crying face, she still patiently said,

“Sitong, you’ve really misunderstood me. I didn’t go abroad because I was worried about my family. As for Shen Hanyu, I don’t even like him, so why would I fight with you? If I wanted to snatch him away, I would’ve treated him the way I treated him at Ming City High School. I wouldn’t allow him to be with any other girl, not even you.”

Xia Sitong’s expression was one of shock as her tears stopped.

“You shouldn’t be worrying about me and Shen Hanyu.”

Sang Qianqian didn’t have much experience in love, so she only gave a suggestion based on her understanding. “Instead, why don’t you take the initiative? At least let him understand your feelings. Whether it works or not, we’ll see.”

What Xia Sitong should be worried about was her and Shen Hanyu’s hearts.

They were still so young; nobody knew who they’d meet in the future and what kind of encounters they’d have. Things like these were tough to determine when it came to relationships. It was like how she’d loved Shen Hanyu so much, but a nightmare had destroyed all those thoughts.

Who knew if Xia Sitong would fall for someone else in the future? But right now, since she liked Shen Hanyu, it was better to take the initiative than to wait passively.

Xia Sitong didn’t say anything for a long time, but Sang Qianqian’s phone rang.

“Ding Aojia?” Sang Qianqian was a little surprised when she picked up the call.

“Sang Qianqian, where are you?”

Ding Aojia’s voice was a little rushed. “Wen Xu is in private room 9133. He’s fighting with someone.”

Sang Qianqian was taken aback. “Isn’t private room 9133 in the main building of the Shengshi Club? Why would he go there?”

“I don’t know. I met an acquaintance and came over to say hello. All of a sudden, they started fighting after a few words.”

Ding Aojia said, “He seems to be injured. He refused to go to the hospital even when I asked him to. You should come quickly!”

Wen Xu’s temper was indeed quite bad at times. On the other hand, it wasn’t like he’d never fought with others before.

However, he’d usually not make a move unreasonably. Instead, the other party usually provoked him first and stepped on his bottom line.

“Ding Aojia, help me take care of him. I’ll be right there.”

Sang Qianqian was worried that something had happened to Wen Xu, so she hung up the phone and left in a hurry.

Remembering that Xia Sitong was still there, she turned around, “Sitong, I’m sorry. Something happened on Wen Xu’s end, so I have to rush over. Let’s chat again when we have time.”

Xia Sitong nodded her head, but Sang Qianqian had already run off.

When Shen Hanyu arrived, he saw Sang Qianqian leaving through the grass in the bar’s garden.

“Brother Hanyu.” Xia Sitong hurried over, “Why are you here so early? Didn’t you say you’d pick me up at 9?”

“Early?” Shen Hanyu looked at the time and said, “It’s nine o’clock.”

Xia Sitong couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re pretty punctual.”

She’d come here today to see Sang Qianqian. Now that she’d met her and gotten her point across, the pent-up emotions in her heart were a little relieved. She was in a much better mood.

She remembered what Sang Qianqian had said about ‘taking the initiative’. So she held Shen Hanyu’s hand and lowered her head, not daring to look at him. “Then let’s go back now. This gathering is boring.”

Shen Hanyu’s gaze fell on Xia Sitong’s hand that was holding onto his, and his dark eyes deepened.

When Xia Sitong was still young, he held her hand many times and took care of her like a sister.

But now, they were already so big, and holding hands like this was a little strange. Subconsciously, Shen Hanyu felt uncomfortable and repulsed.

Shen Hanyu took a few steps forward and pulled his hand away. “I’ll call a taxi.”

Xia Sitong was disappointed, and her heart that was about to take the initiative had turned cold.

While driving back, Wen Xu suddenly called Xia Sitong, “Xia Sitong, are you with my sister?” Where is she?”

Xia Sitong was startled, “Didn’t she go look for you? You didn’t see her?”

“She’s looking for me? I just went with Han Tianyi to buy some things for Ding Aojia, so I’ll be back soon. Besides, she would’ve called if she wanted to find me. So why’d she turn off her phone?”

Wen Xu didn’t believe Xia Sitong, and his tone was a little anxious, “Wasn’t she chatting with you in the garden just now? Wouldn’t you know where she went?”

Xia Sitong wasn’t stupid.

From Wen Xu’s words and the phone call Sang Qianqian received, she immediately guessed that Ding Aojia must’ve deliberately sent Wen Xu and Han Tianyi away to trick Sang Qianqian.

Could it be that Ding Aojia was trying to make things difficult for Sang Qianqian?

The moment this thought appeared, Xia Sitong felt her heart beat faster. Initially, she would’ve told Wen Xu about Sang Qianqian’s whereabouts.

However, out of nowhere, Xia Sitong heard her own calm voice, “I don’t know. Brother Hanyu came to pick me up, but I’ve already left.”

Wen Xu was about to hang up the phone, but he tensed up when he heard Shen Hanyu’s name. “Pass the phone to Shen Hanyu.”

Xia Sitong hesitated for a moment but still passed the phone over.

It was very quiet in the car, and Shen Hanyu had already heard the entire conversation between Wen Xu and Xia Sitong.

“Shen Hanyu, is my sister really not with you?”

Wen Xu’s attitude wasn’t very good, and his voice was full of doubt.

“No,” Shen Hanyu replied indifferently.

He paused. “If you can’t find her, you can check the surveillance cameras.”

Wen Xu thought about it and agreed. There were surveillance cameras around the club, so Shen Hanyu wouldn’t dare to do anything to Sang Qianqian.

The most important thing at the moment was to find her. Wen Xu didn’t say anything and immediately hung up the phone to check the surveillance footage.

Shen Hanyu sat quietly for a while, then opened an app on his phone.

He’d once hacked into the central control system of the Shengshi Club, so it was a piece of cake for him to hack into it again.

Shen Hanyu recalled seeing Sang Qianqian running towards the main building of the Shengshi Club. Without much effort, he managed to find Sang Qianqian in the surveillance footage.

The girl’s footsteps were swift, and she looked anxious. She ran through the crowd and stood in front of a private room. The door opened, and she walked in. A man’s face poked out, and he looked around warily. Then, the door was quickly closed.

The Shengshi Club was reputable in Ming City. The guests inside were either rich or noble, but there was no lack of dignified beasts in clothes.

For some reason, Shen Hanyu suddenly thought of that night.

When he and Guo Muyang had come to the Shengshi Club to look for Long Junzhe, a disheveled woman had escaped from his room in a panic. Her eyes were filled with fear, and scars covered her body and face from being whipped.

Shen Hanyu dialed Wen Xu’s number.

On the other end of the line, Wen Xu was worried. He didn’t save Shen Hanyu’s phone number, so when he saw that it was an unknown number, he thought it was an advertisement and immediately hung up.

Shen Hanyu was silent for a moment when he heard the toot sound from the phone. He then spoke in a deep voice.

“Sir, please stop the car by the side.”
