Chapter 153 - 153 I’ll Definitely Protect You
153 I’ll Definitely Protect You
Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened as he subconsciously looked at Sang Qianqian, who was only wearing a thin nightdress.
The girl’s body was cold, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat, which soaked through her hair. She didn’t even wear her shoes as her fair feet stepped on the cold marble floor.
Shen Hanyu raised his hand and gently wiped away the sweat on her forehead. “Did you have a nightmare?” He asked in a low and gentle voice.
She was obviously shocked to suddenly knock on his door at this time. It was easy to guess that she had a nightmare.
Sang Qianqian’s head was buried in his chest as she muttered a low “Mm,”.
Shen Hanyu did not hesitate. He carried her and was about to put her on the sofa. “I’ll get your shoes.”
“I don’t want to. Hanyu, don’t go.”
Sang Qianqian clutched his clothes tightly and hugged him even tighter, refusing to get down from his arms.
Although she had already woken up from the dream, her heart still hurt badly as her emotions seemed to still remain in the dream.
Subconsciously, there was even a faint trace of fear that she herself did not want to look at.
She was afraid this dream was foretelling something. She was afraid that in the future, she and Shen Hanyu would be like the dream, unable to get each other despite being in love. In the end, they would have to part tragically.
Shen Hanyu frowned slightly and looked down at the girl who was curled up in his arms, trembling like a cat. She hugged him very tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear. There was an unspeakable sense of helplessness omitting from her.
Ever since he got together with Sang Qianqian, Shen Hanyu had never seen her like this. What kind of nightmare did she have?
Was it related to him?
The autumn night was too cold, and Sang Qianqian was wearing thin clothes. She had already broken out in a cold sweat. If she stayed like this, she would easily fall sick.
Shen Hanyu carried her into the bedroom and put her on his bed, letting her lean against the headboard. She refused to let go of him, so he sat down and held her in his arms under the covers.
The blanket was soft and had Shen Hanyu’s refreshing scent on it. His embrace was firm and warm. Sang Qianqian’s tightened heart finally eased a little, and her emotions also calmed down a little.
“What kind of dream did you have?” Shen Hanyu asked, staring at her with his deep eyes. Sang Qianqian hesitated for a moment, but still told him about the dream.
That dream was related to her and Shen Hanyu. If it really foretold something, he should have the right to know.
Shen Hanyu’s brows furrowed tightly when he heard that. After a long while, the corners of his lips curled up.
“That was just a dream, Qianqian, don’t worry.”
He gazed at her, his voice calm and gentle. “You have me. Nothing will happen.”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips and did not say anything. Although it was a dream, everything was too tragic. It was so depressing that she felt inexplicably worried about her future with Shen Hanyu.
Although she once had the nightmare of the Sang family’s downfall, the Sang family was still fine so far. Reality did not seem to go exactly the way it had in her dream.
But perhaps, the scene in the dream simply had not occurred yet?
After all, she had mistakenly thought the person who harmed the Sang family was Shen Hanyu. Due to that, she tried to avoid Shen Hanyu all these years.
She thought about the ending she had with Shen Hanyu in her dream.
Sang Qianqian’s confidence in facing everything was shaken.
Seeing the girl like this, Shen Hanyu narrowed his eyes. “Are you afraid? You’re afraid that I won’t be able to protect you like in your dream?”
Sang Qianqian shook her head silently.
She wasn’t afraid of what would happen to her, but she was afraid that she might really get Shen Hanyu into trouble.
“If you’re not afraid, then why do you have such an expression?”
Shen Hanyu furrowed his brows and lowered his voice. “Are you really going to break up with me over a dream?”
Sang Qianqian glanced at him, feeling an indescribable emotion in her heart. “I won’t.”
At least for now, she wouldn’t.
“That’s good.”
Shen Hanyu’s large palm ruffled her hair as he said gently, “It’s just a dream, Qianqian. Don’t think too much about it.”
“Hanyu,” Sang Qianqian did not know what to say. “I’ve had nightmares in the past too, and many things in those dreams overlapped with reality. If perhaps…”
If that dream became a reality in the future, she couldn’t tell what she would choose.
If she were to be with Shen Hanyu, he would have to pay a price that was far beyond what she could afford. If this was really the case, then her first instinct would probably be the same as in her dream. She wouldn’t hesitate to break up with him so that he would be able to live well.
“If that dream really becomes reality, then I should tell you something in advance, Qianqian.”
Shen Hanyu spoke slowly and firmly, “You were the one who agreed to be my girlfriend and to marry me. Qianqian, no matter what happens, our relationship will never end unless I want it to.”
Sang Qianqian’s eyes suddenly widened. The shock and fear in her heart were indescribable.
When she told him about the dream just now, it was very brief and she didn’t tell him the details of their interaction in the dream.
However, what he said was almost the same as what the Shen Hanyu in her nightmare said!
In that dream, he was also staring at her coldly and sternly, saying that if he didn’t say their relationship was over, then it would never end between them.
The air around her seemed to have suddenly thinned a little. Sang Qianqian’s shallow breathing suddenly became a little difficult.
“Qianqian, don’t think of me as such a bad person.”
Shen Hanyu said in a deep voice, “If anything happens, I’ll protect you, but you have to stay by my side.”
Sang Qianqian’s face turned slightly pale. She did not dare to look at Shen Hanyu, nor did she know how to answer him.
The man was clearly unhappy with her attitude. His well-defined fingers lifted her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.
“If you stay by my side, I can deal with anything calmly. If you leave, you’ll only mess up my mind. Believe me, we’ll be fine.”
Shen Hanyu’s tone was unprecedentedly serious and determined, giving her a sense of security. “I will never let us repeat the mistakes we made in our dreams. Qianqian, promise me. No matter what happens, don’t think about breaking up, okay?”
Sang Qianqian’s heart was filled with an indescribable emotion. Her eyes were moist, but she still nodded her head.
With Shen Hanyu’s personality, she couldn’t help but think.
Regardless of whether they broke up or not, if something really happened to her or the Sang family, he definitely wouldn’t ignore it.
It was only her one-sided wish for him to stay out of her business.
As Shen Hanyu had said, her departure would only make him lose his mind.
It would be better to believe in him and herself. The two of them could face all the unknown together and strive to fight for a different ending.

After sending Sang Qianqian to the school gate and watching her enter the school, Shen Hanyu started the car again and drove back to the company.
He was deep in thought about the dream Sang Qianqian had told him about.
The car stopped at the intersection and waited for the traffic light to turn red. Suddenly, a sharp sound, accompanied by the wind, broke through the car window and aimed straight for Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu turned to look at it, his pupils shrinking.
