I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

258 The Ruan Family’s Third Miss

Sang Qianqian was pushed out of the door by Professor Fu’er. Then, the door was slammed shut with a ‘Bang!’.

This was the first time Sang Qianqian was not welcomed by Professor Fu’er.

She knew that he didn’t treat people easily, but she didn’t expect that just asking him for an antidote would make him so angry.

Small snowflakes floated in the gloomy sky. At the bottom of the steps, Xie Shi’an was waiting for her.

Sang Qianqian walked over and said helplessly, “I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

Xie Shi’an shook his head. “Why is Professor Fu’er so angry?”

During the few years when she was studying abroad, Xie Shi’an had never seen Professor Fu’er being so harsh to her. He had never even said a single harsh word to her.

At that time, Professor Fu’er would always be smiling when he saw Sang Qianqian. Whenever Sang Qianqian had any requests, Professor Fu’er would never reject them.

It was rare that she could not even enter the door today.

“I wanted him to teach me a way to detoxify the poison,” Sang Qianqian said with a wry smile.

“Detoxify?”

Xie Shi’an was stunned. He looked deeply at Sang Qianqian. “So, you’re here for Shen Hanyu?”

Sang Qianqian was taken aback. “You know about Hanyu’s poisoning?”

How did Xie Shi’an know about this when Shen Hanyu had kept it a secret?

She seemed to have realized something. Her voice was a little agitated as she grabbed Xie Shi’an’s arm. “Shi’an, you’ve been by Ruan Cheng’s side the whole time. Since Ruan Cheng managed to get his hands on the poison, he must have the antidote too, right?”

Xie Shi’an almost couldn’t bear to tell her the truth, but he had to. “I only found out about this when Guo Muyang came to find me. If there was an antidote, I would have given it to him long ago.”

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. The spark of hope that had just appeared was instantly extinguished. The light in Sang Qianqian’s eyes dimmed.

The snow was getting heavier, and the wind was getting colder. The two of them walked forward silently.

Sang Qianqian broke the silence. “I haven’t asked you yet. Who is that sick friend of yours?” she asked.

For Xie Shi’an to come and beg Professor Fu’er, their relationship must be deep.

Xie Shi’an did not hide anything. “It’s Sister Xiaoshuang’s younger sister, Ruan Xiaodie.”

“Sister Xiaoshuang has a younger sister?”

Sang Qianqian was very surprised. “Why have I never heard Sister Xiaoshuang mention it before? What illness is she suffering from?”

“Xiaodie has been recuperating abroad for the past few years and has hardly returned home. Xiaodie, she… Is different from normal people.”

Xie Shi’an didn’t know what to say. “I was just trying to make a last resort. I wanted Professor Fu’er to help me see if Xiaodie could still be cured.”

Sang Qianqian had originally planned to bid Xie Shi’an farewell at the intersection. After a moment of silence, she changed her mind. “I’ll go with you to see Xiaodie.”

—

Xie Shi’an lived in a small detached villa, which was a certain distance away from Professor Fu’er’s residence.

The car stopped in the courtyard, and a tall man holding an umbrella quickly stepped forward, respectfully opening the door. “Young Master An, Third Miss has been waiting for your return…”

As that person spoke, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Sang Qianqian, his expression changing.

Sang Qianqian also frowned slightly.

She recognized this man. He was Cui Ke, Cui Xu’s younger brother.

When she was imprisoned by Ruan Cheng, Cui Ke had attempted to assault her, but was caught by Xie Shi’an. He gave him a good beating, and his head had bled non-stop. He was badly injured.

Sang Qianqian had thought that he was already dead, but to think that he was still alive.

Seeing Sang Qianqian looking at Cui Ke, Xie Shi’an explained in a low voice, “When Ruan Cheng was alive, he arranged for Cui Ke to take care of Xiaodie.”

The first person to follow Ruan Xiaodie was Shao Jin.

Later, Shao Jin was summoned back to the country by Ruan Cheng. Coincidentally, Cui Ke also annoyed Xie Shi’an, so Ruan Cheng simply sent him abroad to take care of Ruan Xiaodie.

When Ruan Cheng got into trouble, Shao Jin and the Ruan family’s most capable subordinates were killed by the police. However, Cui Ke was overseas and managed to escape.

Sang Qianqian nodded her head slightly and did not say anything.

Xie Shi’an knew that Sang Qianqian did not like this person. He instructed Cui Ke, “Give me the umbrella. You can go and park the car.”

Cui Ke had suffered once and knew what Sang Qianqian meant to Xie Shi’an.

Now that the Ruan family had long ceased to exist, Xie Shi’an could be considered his new master. When he suddenly saw Sang Qianqian, Cui Ke was actually very flustered. He was afraid that if Sang Qianqian brought up the past, he would definitely suffer.

Hearing Xie Shi’an’s words, Cui Ke hurriedly handed the umbrella in his hand to Xie Shi’an. He did not even dare to look at Qianqian anymore. Instead, he quickly got into the car and parked it.

Sang Qianqian had yet to enter the living room with Xie Shi’an when a girl with waist-length hair and wearing a white fur coat pushed the door open and ran out. Her face was full of joy and excitement.

“Brother Shi’an, why did you only come back now? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

The girl looked to be in her early twenties. She was pretty with fair skin and a pair of light eyes that were like colored glass. Her eyebrows were very delicate, but her words and actions carried a bit of childishness.”

Xie Shi’an hummed and took her hand. “It’s cold outside. Go in and stay.”

“I want Brother Shi’an to carry me.”

The girl said in a sweet voice and reached out to put her arms around Xie Shi’an’s neck as if no one was around.

Xie Shi’an looked at Sang Qianqian awkwardly. “Xiaodie, let go.”

“I won’t let go.”

Ruan Xiaodie shook her head like a rattle drum and hugged Xie Shi’an even tighter. Her long legs shamelessly wrapped around Xie Shi’an, hanging on him like a sloth. “I want Brother Shi’an to carry me. You carried me yesterday.”

Xie Shi’an was embarrassed, and his handsome face was flushed. He could not tell Sang Qianqian that he had carried Ruan Xiaodie into the house yesterday because she had fallen while playing in the yard.

Since he couldn’t explain it clearly, he could only hold Ruan Xiaodie’s waist and carry her into the house.

Ruan Xiaodie still refused to come down. “Brother Shi’an, did you bring me anything good to eat?”

Xie Shi’an was patient. “Yes, I did. Now come sit down and I’ll give it to you.”

“Oh, okay.”

Ruan Xiaodie responded crisply. She immediately got down from Xie Shi’an’s body and sat on the sofa obediently. She sat upright like a kindergartener, with her hands on her knees. She looked up at Xie Shi’an with an expression that said, “I’m a good baby, quickly give me something good to eat.”

Every time Xie Shi’an went out, he would always bring some food for Ruan Xiaodie. A piece of cake, a few candies, or something else.

However, after meeting Sang Qianqian today, he had forgotten about this.

He was hesitating if he should ask Cui Ke to get the food and pretend that he bought it.

However, Sang Qianqian had already taken out a few candies from her pocket and handed them to Ruan Xiaodie. She said softly, “Here you go,”

She finally understood what Xie Shi’an meant when he said that Ruan Xiaodie was different from normal people.

Ruan Xiaodie seemed to have only just noticed Sang Qianqian’s existence. She looked at her curiously. “Who are you?”

“She’s Sister Qianqian.”

Xie Shi’an continued, “She’s Brother Shi’an’s friend.”

Ruan Xiaodie blinked her eyes, obviously not interested in Sang Qianqian. She was more interested in the candy in her hand. “Then, can I eat Sister’s candy?”

“Sure.”

Xie Shi’an taught her, “But you have to say thank you to the Sister.”

“Thank you, Sister!”

Ruan Xiaodie quickly took the candy, her small face smiling like a flower.

She sat there obediently and ate the candy with her head lowered. It was as if the candy in her hand was her whole world.
