Chapter 1410: Who Are You?
Some memories he had deliberately buried in his heart became clearer, but Jiang Mingzhu’s facial features gradually blurred as they overlapped with Su Manman’s bright smile. He almost couldn’t suppress his surging emotions.
“Brother Hanchu, what’s wrong?” Little Song realized that something was wrong with Shi Hanchu. His face was pale. He hurriedly ran over and asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Shi Hanchu waved his hand dismissively.
When Su Manman heard this, her heart tightened. She put down the phone and got up to walk towards Shi Hanchu. She frowned, clearly nervous. “Are you okay? Is your heart hurting again?”
Shi Hanchu’s eyes narrowed.
Just as Su Manman finished speaking, Shi Hanchu grabbed her wrist firmly. His gaze was so dark that it was as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
“Ouch…” Su Manman sucked in a breath of cold air. Shi Hanchu nearly broke her wrist.
“Heart hurt?” Little Song looked at Shi Hanchu in surprise. “Brother Hanchu, why does your chest hurt? Did you get a shock just now? Do you need an ambulance? Or should we hurry to the hospital?”
“No need!”
As Shi Hanchu spoke, he grabbed Su Manman and left.
Shi Hanchu strode forward, almost dragging Su Manman away with him.
The guests and staff, including the director, watched as Shi Hanchu took Su Manman away with a dumbfounded expression on their faces. Even Little Song was perplexed.
“Brother Hanchu!” Little Song hurriedly chased after him.
Shi Hanchu turned the corner and pressed Su Manman against the wall, his eyes full of malevolence. He was completely different from his usual elegant and indifferent image…
Su Manman’s heart pounded violently. The two of them were so close… she could hear Shi Hanchu’s trembling and heavy breathing.
Hearing Little Song’s tone just now, Su Manman’s heart ached… Did Little Song not know?
A few years ago, she discovered Shi Hanchu having chest pain and forced him to go to the hospital for a checkup. Usually, she would check if Shi Hanchu had any medication on him. Every time she failed to find them on him, Shi Hanchu would say that Little Song has them!
But Little Song… didn’t know!
“Who are you?” Shi Hanchu’s deep voice was icy. The moment he spoke, Su Manman felt as if the blood in her body had turned into ice, so cold that her back trembled.
Su Manman’s words reached her throat, but as though someone had choked her throat, those words wouldn’t come out.
“You’ve checked on me?” Shi Hanchu’s gaze turned increasingly dark. Like a gem from the netherworld, his tall and handsome features were cold. “Who are you?”
“I haven’t…” Su Manman had never felt that Shi Hanchu was so scary before. His gaze was as if it could tear her apart at any moment. “I’m the only daughter of the Fu family in Haicheng! You can check…”
Shi Hanchu tightened his grip on Su Manman’s wrist and stared fixedly at her. Seeing Su Manman’s evasive gaze, he felt that she was up to no good.
“Then, why did you ask Tu Jie to be your manager? How did you know what I like to eat? How did you know that I’m allergic to nuts? And how… did you know that I’m suffering from chest pain? Only I and the doctor know about this matter.”
Shi Hanchu forced his words out of his mouth, and his gaze was still penetrating Su Manman as he waited for her reply.
This was the Shi Hanchu, whom Su Manman had never seen before. In her world… Shi Hanchu had always been the most gentle.
Su Manman wanted to tell Shi Hanchu that she was Jiang Mingzhu, but she swallowed back her words.
If she told him that she was Jiang Mingzhu, would he believe her?
Would he treat her as a lunatic who had gone berserk and distanced himself from her…
Jiang Mingzhu was already dead. Shi Hanchu had seen her die with his own eyes… He had seen her body cremated. Jiang Mingzhu had long disappeared from this world!
But she was Jiang Mingzhu. She wanted to tell him! She wanted to be pulled into Shi Hanchu’s arms, to make up for the regret in her past life and tell him that she loved him!
But she was even more afraid…
She was more afraid that Shi Hanchu would get further away from her.
Afraid that Shi Hanchu would think that she was merely using Jiang Mingzhu’s name to get close to him. He would reject her from getting close to him in any way.
Shi Hanchu’s chest pain. Only she knew.
After a long while, Su Manman raised her head. Her eyes were red as she said in a hoarse voice, “I know this because… I like you!”
Su Manman changed the words “I love you” to “I like you.”
Shi Hanchu’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he stared at Su Manman, her eyes filled with sincerity…
Yes, she liked Shi Hanchu! More than that, she loved him.
The thing she regretted the most from her past life was not being brave enough to confess and getting together with him.
She wanted to hug Shi Hanchu and stay in his arms forever.
But Shi Hanchu didn’t believe anything Su Manman said.
After checking Su Manman’s identity, she knew too much about Shi Hanchu, but Shi Hanchu knew nothing about her.
“This is why you’re imitating Jiang Mingzhu? Hmm?” Shi Hanchu’s voice sounded intimidating, and he was testing Su Manman.
Su Manman’s eyes reddened. “I’m not imitating anyone. I’m just myself…”
She stared into Shi Hanchu’s eyes. “As time passes, one’s heart can be seen. Shi Hanchu… I want you to like me too, so I won’t be someone else! Are you willing… to see me for who I am and give me a chance?”
“Brother Hanchu!” Little Song chased after him when he saw the best actor pushing the pretty lady against the wall. After shouting, Little Song quickly turned around and pretended that he didn’t see anything. He then shut up and left.
Little Song’s heart was beating very fast. He halted his steps when he walked past the corner and pressed his hands against his chest…
What the heck! What did he just see?
The legendary kabedon—a man forcing a woman against the wall while slapping the wall?
Could it be that Brother Hanchu had fallen for the young lady?
All these years, Brother Han Chu didn’t even have a single female fly by his side. What if… what if Brother Han Chu suddenly got into trouble and molested the young lady? Would he help him keep an eye on her or would he help her out?
Because Little Song’s voice, Su Manman’s emotions were interrupted, and Shi Hanchu’s anger was greatly appeased. He held back his emotions and let go of Su Manman. He lowered his voice and warned her, “Don’t let me discover your ill intentions…”
With that, Shi Hanchu left first!
He walked to the corner and saw his assistant, Little Song, biting his finger, looking at a loss. His throat rolled as he said, “Let’s go…”
The short-legged Dong Dong caught up with them, panting. Seeing that Shi Hanchu and Little Song were about to leave, she nearly pressed herself against the wall, hoping to vanish. After all… the expression on Shi Hanchu’s face was too scary. So cold that it made one’s hair stand on end.
Only after Shi Hanchu and Little Song left did she turn and see Su Manman leaning against the wall with reddened eyes.
“Manman, are you alright?” Dong Dong asked cautiously, “Did God Shi do anything to you? God Shi pulled you away and left without saying anything. There was a huge commotion over there…”
