This manor belonged to the Xie family and was not open to the public.
Xie Shiâan 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 wasnât 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 Shiâan 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 didnât 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 Shiâan. âItâs all thanks to President Xie that the wedding venue could look so amazing. Thank you so muchâ¦â
Xie Shiâan didnât know about Song Yuâs affair, so he was very polite and chatted with him.
Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyuâs arrival took away his attention. He quickly said a few perfunctory words and approached the two.
âQianqian.â
After Xie Shiâan 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.
âWhereâs Xiaodie?â Sang Qianqian quickly asked Xie Shiâan. âShe didnât come with you?â
âCui Ke is playing with her at the wishing well.â
Xie Shiâan smiled. âShe woke up early this morning and said that she wanted to dress prettier to attend her sisterâs wedding. A few days ago, she even personally made a gift for Sister Xiaoshuang. Sheâs becoming more and more sensible now.â
âShe will only become more sensible in the future.â
Sang Qianqian also smiled and said, âLetâs go. I want to see her.â
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, âMiss, come down quickly. It wouldnât be good if you fall.â
The three of them had already arrived at the statue. Xie Shiâan waved his hand. âItâs okay. Let her play, 1 can just watch her.â
Only then did Cui Ke see Xie Shiâan and the others. The moment he saw Sang Qianqian, he remembered her story of his brother âcoming back from the deadâ.
He had a feeling that Sang Qianqian was trying to take revenge on Cui Yi, so he couldnât help but feel jealous. He wanted to question her, but since Shen Hanyu was standing beside her, he didnât dare to do anything and could only step aside.
Next to the statue, Ruan Xiaodie heard Xie Shiâanâs 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 Shiâanâs 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, âItâs alright, itâs alright.â
Xie Shiâan nervously checked her body. Fortunately, Ruan Xiaodie was not injured, but her palm had a cut. Ruan Xiaodieâs eyes were red and she raised her hand in pain. âIt hurts.â
Shen Hanyu did not say a word. His eyes fell on the crystal clear white pearl bracelet on Ruan Xiaodieâs 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. âH-heâs so scaryâ¦â
âHe looks scary, but heâs not a bad person.â
Sang Qianqian quickly comforted her, âBe good, Xiaodie. Donât be afraid.â
Ruan Xiaodie pursed her lips and retracted her head back into Xie Shiâanâs arms, obviously not agreeing with Sang Qianqianâs words.
Xie Shiâan was worried about her, so he said to Sang Qianqian, â1â11 take her to get some treatment.â
Sang Qianqian nodded. âSee you later.â
âIs that the Ruan familyâs Second Miss?â
Shen Hanyu stared at the departing figures of Xie Shiâan and Ruan Xiaodie. His black eyes narrowed slightly. âThe bracelet on her hand is quite special.â
Sang Qianqian was slightly startled. Shen Hanyu had never been the type to care about a girlâs accessories. Why would he suddenly say something like that?
âXiaodie was wearing that bracelet when she was abroad. It seemed to be a gift from her aunt, but it looks like ordinary jewelry.â
Sang Qianqian was puzzled. âHow is it special?â
âThatâs no ordinary jewelry.â
Shen Hanyu said meaningfully, âIf Iâm not wrong, there should be a chip in the bracelet. Itâs special high-tech smart sensing jewelry.â
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. âXiaodieâs situation is rather special. Her aunt probably gave her this kind of jewelry for her safety.â
Shen Hanyu did not deny her words. âI 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.â
âThatâs because Iâve been treating her all this time.â
Sang Qianqian said, âYou donât know, but Xiaodie used to be very timid. She didnât dare to talk to strangers, and she didnât communicate much with people. Now, she has recovered to the level of a seven or eight-year-old childâs IQ. With time, she might be able to completely return to normal.â
âWith the IQof a seven or eight-year-old child, logically speaking, she shouldnât have fallen from this.â
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 wouldnât have been able to fall so badly.
âShe must have been frightened by our sudden appearance, especially by you.â
Sang Qianqian looked at Shen Hanyu and pursed her lips into a smile. âYouâre as cold as an iceberg from head to toe. Even 1 used to be scared of you, let alone Xiaodie. Didnât you hear what she said? Youâre so scary.â
âIâm already very restrained in front of you.â
Shen Hanyu pulled her into his arms. He was unhappy with her calling him scary. âLook at me carefully. Am I scary?â
Sang Qianqian was very tactful and shook her head like a rattle-drum. âNo, not at all. In fact, my husband is the most handsome.â
Shen Hanyu smiled. âThatâs more like it.â
