Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Have You Had Enough Trouble?
 

Not wanting to answer isn’t a good excuse for acting this childishly!

I bet there’s something illicit going on between him and Bai Wei.

“Stop making a fuss.” Dan Hanjie spoke in a low voice, looking at her tantrum with some helplessness.

He’s too lenient on her—no other woman has ever dared act so arrogantly in front of him.

“If you don’t like my fussing, just put me down! No one is asking you to hold me!” Qin Youxuan retorted defiantly.

The next second, Dan Hanjie actually let go of her.

Qin Youxuan lost her balance and slipped from his embrace, nearly losing her footing. She lifted her shocked gaze towards him.

“Isn’t it you who wanted me to let you down?” Dan Hanjie raised an eyebrow, his voice unemotional.

“…”

He just stops caring anytime she throws a tantrum?

Sweet-talking her seemed to be the last thing on his mind ever since Bai Wei came back.

And he dares say he never touched Bai Wei—like hell she would believe that!

Let her be—she can walk. She has feet, not like she can’t move on her own.

Qin Youxuan, red-faced with anger, turned around and started marching out.

Walking barefoot, so what? She’d walked an entire street barefoot before and didn’t care what people thought!

“Are you finished with your tantrum?”

Just as Qin Youxuan was about to step out of the private room, she heard his low and slightly annoyed voice from behind.

She didn’t even vent her anger out yet. What got him so irritated?

She’s not the one who’s got women throwing themselves at her, and yet he thinks he’s in the right?

Qin Youxuan paused her steps but stubbornly faced him with her back, refused to turn around, her head drooping in dismay.

“There are truths at home you want to hear, but you insist on making a scene here. How am I supposed to explain?” Dan Hanjie noticed her reddened eyes and felt a pang in his heart.

He moved closer and embraced her in his arms.

His arm rested on her shoulder, pressing her face into his chest, whispering softly, “Who other than me would want such a hothead who also has a temper?”

“…”

If he detests her so much, why is he holding her so tightly?

Qin Youxuan pouted, her lower lip quivering in the displeasure.

“Idiot.”

Dan Hanjie pinched her cheek, hoisted her into his embrace, and left the ice cream shop, heading straight to his car.

He drove all the way back to Yujing Villa.

Though the journey was short, it felt as if time had been stretched out.

Neither of them spoke a word.

Dan Hanjie was lost in thoughts, his eyes slightly squinted as he drove without distraction.

His enchanting face showed a hint of seriousness. A trace of chill was discernible from his gaze, creating a sense of estrangement.

Qin Youxuan sat at the passenger seat, gripping the seatbelt, watching him with furrowed brows.

She had an uneasy premonition—Bai Wei must be an important figure to him.

She just didn’t know why she held such significance…

“Swish——”

The car pulled into the garage.

Snapping back to her senses, Qin Youxuan was about to push open the car door when it was pulled open from outside.

Dan Hanjie stood there, extending his hand towards her.

“…”

Qin Youxuan looked at his sturdy hand, the sudden warmth spreading in her heart.

She smiled faintly and gave him her hand.

“What are you smiling at?” Dan Hanjie was taken aback as he held her hand, a bemused look on his face.

“Laughing at you, don’t you know how silly you are?”

“…”

Dan Hanjie froze, tightening his grip.

It felt as if her hand was being crushed, Qin Youxuan hastily pleaded, “I didn’t say anything just now!”

Only then did Dan Hanjie loosen his grip, satisfied. He carried her and walked out of the garage.
