Chapter 408:1 Won’t Be a Canary
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We’re planning for a baby, aren’t we?”
Shen Hanyu said, “Your work is too tiring and dangerous. Why don’t you resign and stay at home to prepare for pregnancy? When the Zhen family’s matters are sorted out, we’ll go home to Ming City together.”
“Just let nature take its course when I get pregnant. How can you tell me to resign just over that?”
Sang Qianqian disagreed. “Besides, my job may be a little tiring, but it’s really not dangerous.”
Shen Hanyu said in a low voice, “Something almost happened to you today. Isn’t that considered dangerous?”
Although Sang Qianqian had said it casually just now, it was obvious how critical the situation was.
“Today was just a special situation. Moreover, Song Guanhua has already been arrested by the police.”
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled. “If it really was as dangerous as you said, then it would be safest for me to stay at home and not go anywhere.”
Shen Hanyu turned his head and looked deeply at her. “That’s not impossible.”
“Wouldn’t that make me not your wife, but your canary?”
Sang Qianqian joked, “Specifically a canary with its wings cut off.”
“Anyway, there’s no need to cut off your wings. The resignation is only temporary.”
Shen Hanyu said slowly, “When the time is right, you can come out to work again.”
When she met his dark eyes, Sang Qianqian finally realized that this man wasn’t joking with her.
“Are you serious?”
She said, “Do you really want me to do nothing and stay at home?”
“I’ll be away from Beijing a lot during this period of time.”
Shen Hanyu said in a low voice, “I’ll be more at ease if you stay at home.”
“I’ll be bored to death if 1 stay at home all day.”
Shefelt suffocated just thinking about it. “No, no, no. I don’t want to.”
She tried to convince Shen Hanyu. “And as you know, Xu Meixi has just left the department, so we’re short of manpower. Shuhui and I have to teach the newcomers step by step. If I resign now, Director Miao will go crazy.”
“That’s his business. I’m only responsible for you.”
He had always been indifferent to irrelevant people. He could even be said to be heartless.
“But I don’t want to quit.”
Sang Qianqian said seriously, “If you’re worried about my safety, at most, if 1 go to the hospital in the future, just let Jian Zheng follow me, okay? As for preparing for pregnancy…”
Her lips curved. “This is a matter between two people. For me, it requires me to be in a good mood, and a moderate amount of work will keep me in one. That would contribute more to me getting… Pregnant.”
Shen Hanyu was silent for a moment. “Jian Zheng is not a god, and neither am I.”
Therefore, it was impossible to be foolproof.
Although he had won against Ruan Cheng last year, he almost lost himself and her in the process.
He suffered every minute and second without her.
Fortunately, the heavens had given him a chance to live. His body returned to normal, and they reconciled.
However, that ghost-like figure would only come out from time to time to make his presence known.
With Xu Meixi’s help, he managed to kill Cui Yi and kidnapped Xu Meixi’s family without anyone knowing. Before Shen Hanyu caught him, no one knew what he was planning to do.
What happened to Song Guanhua today made him realize that as long as Sang Qianqian was out working, she would still be within that person’s palms.
He was not a god, and the people he arranged were not omnipotent. If something went wrong in between, if something happened to her…
His life would be doomed.
Shen Hanyu could not tolerate losing her again.
“I’ll protect myself. If you’re worried, you can arrange for more people to follow me. Anyway, you can’t lock me up at home and not let me go anywhere.”
Sang Qianqian said coquettishly, “I don’t want to be a canary. I won’t resign either.”
“I’ll sort out the matters in the capital as soon as possible. In at most half a year, we can return to Ming City.”
Shen Hanyu softened his voice. “When the time comes, if you want to work, I won’t stop you.”
This was the first time he had said exactly when he would return to Ming City. It was obvious that he had thought this through and was at least 70 to 80% confident.
If he wanted to return to Ming City, he had to first solve the Zhen family’s issues with the family’s heir and find out who was behind the scenes of the accident.
Fang Lan’s news this time was more reliable. It could be assured that the former might not be a problem, but the latter…
“Did you find anything?”
Sang Qianqian quickly asked, “Do you have any clues about the mastermind?”
“Yes, but—”
Shen Hanyu glanced at her. “We need further confirmation.”
He didn’t continue on this topic and instead asked, “I remember you saying that Ruan Xiaodie’s recovery was very smooth, and her current IQis equivalent to that of a seven or eight-year-old child—when will it end?”
“Are you asking about Xiaodie’s treatment?”
Sang Qianqian said truthfully, “Her recovery is much better than I expected. Moreover, with Sister Xiaoshuang accompanying her now, it can stimulate her memory even more. Who knows, she might suddenly regain her consciousness one day, but it might also require a long period of treatment.”
Ruan Xiaodie was not born with an intellectual deficiency. On the other hand, her mental problem was only caused by stimulation from an incident.
Her mind was only trapped in “Chaos”.
In theory, as long as the treatment was done properly, one could gradually recover their consciousness.
However, clinically, some patients could suddenly wake up under the effect of drugs and reality.
For example, after the rain, the clouds would disperse and the tumult would dissipate. In Xiaodie’s case, her consciousness could recover and she would be no different from an ordinary person.
“Therefore, for a period of time, you still need to go to the Xie family every week to treat her.”
Shen Hanyu said, “What if I ask you not to go anymore? Will you reject me too?”
Sang Qianqian looked at him steadily. “Hanyu, you’re acting strange today.”
His voice was low. “I’m just thinking about your safety.”
“But you don’t need to overthink this.”
Sang Qianqian blurted out, “I’m a doctor, and it’s my duty to treat and save people. Xiaodie is my patient. 1 can’t just give up halfway. Hanyu, you should know how much 1 like my profession. If I really resign just to prepare for pregnancy, won’t my hard work in medicine all these years become a joke?”
Shen Hanyu said, “So, even if it’s for me and for our future child, you’re not willing to give up even for half a year?”
Sang Qianqian said firmly, “No.”
He looked at her silently, his dark eyes dark.
He still remembered that before his relationship with her was confirmed, she had kept a respectful distance from him, afraid that she would have anything to do with him. Every time he looked at her, some crazy thoughts would appear in his mind.
He wanted to force her to stay by his side. He wanted to break her wings and imprison her in a place that only he knew.
But in the end, it didn’t happen.
Because he couldn’t bear to do so.
He was afraid that she would cry, that she would be sad, and that she would hate him.
But now, those crazy thoughts were popping out again, and he couldn’t erase them.
He didn’t want to lose her again. He couldn’t bear the pain.
However, she was so stubborn. She was so headstrong that she could easily ignore his feelings for the sake of her so-called patient and profession.
Shen Hanyu suppressed his mind and turned his head away, not saying anything else..
