365-Day Trial Marriage With Hunk: Wife's A Little Wild

Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Can’t Get Through This Block of My Own
 

Qin Youxuan lifted her eyes, speaking in a faint voice.

She could tell that Jiang Jinchen was eager to find her, though she didn’t know why.

“I see. You take care, I’m going to head out now.”

Jiang Jinchen waved his hand, turning around and walking towards his sports car. He quickly drove off.

Qin Youxuan remained seated on the grass, quietly watching Da Bai frolic and run around. This continued until Da Bai grew tired and lay down at her feet, accompanying her in basking in the sunlight.

“Screech——”

The sound of a brake emanated from outside the door.

Qin Youxuan instinctively lifted her head.

Spotting a familiar figure coming into view, she momentarily froze. Before she could react, the flea-bitten Da Bai had already rushed toward Dan Hanjie, who just got out of the car.

Happily running circles around his feet.

With distaste, Qin Youxuan turned her head away.

You disgraceful Da Bai, you’re a wolf, not a dog. Why are you behaving like a puppy? You’ve lost all your noble bearings.

“Have you had anything to eat?”

Dan Hanjie strode over, stepping directly onto the lawn.

The grass where he had stepped on was completely flattened.

The towering figure stood overlooking Qin Youxuan who was seated on the grass. Seeing her remain silent, he squatted down and reached out to touch her face.

“Are you not feeling well?”

“Jiang Jinchen was here to see you not long ago.” Qin Youxuan’s voice was soft and her gaze calm.

“…”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered and he turned to look at Yao, who was standing far away.

Having heard Qin Youxuan’s words, Yao slightly nodded and turned to leave, assuming responsibility for the matter.

“Let’s go get some food.”

“I’m not hungry.”

“Are you trying to give me the cold shoulder again?” There was a shadow of gloom in Dan Hanjie’s eyes.

“…”

Qin Youxuan fell silent.

She stood up from the grass, allowing him to lead her into the dining room.

Throughout the meal, he kept serving her food, and she kept eating.

A few times, Qin Youxuan felt nauseous but managed to suppress it by pinching her thigh.

She could only eat so much before putting down her utensils, claiming to be full.

Looking at her clearly unwell complexion, Dan Hanjie did not push her. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and then carried her back to the room.

“Take a nap first. This afternoon, I will have the doctor come to check on you.”

Dan Hanjie stroked her smooth forehead, gently speaking with concern.

His hand was suddenly seized by hers. “I’m fine.”

“You look pale.”

“Yes, because of you. A doctor can’t treat that.” Qin Youxuan spoke honestly, looking at the momentary shock on Dan Hanjie’s face. A hint of reluctance flashed through her heart. She reached out and embraced his waist.

She buried her face in his chest. “Dan Hanjie, give me some time. I’m having a hard time getting past this.”

After all, Dan Hanjie had done so much without hurting her.

She was not ungrateful.

But who could accept that the person they had trusted wholeheartedly, was manipulating them all the while?

Every step she took was under his control. It was terrifying.

“…”

Dan Hanjie remained silent, the grip around her tightening.

He laid her down, and settled himself beside her, allowing her to use his arm as a pillow to fall asleep.

“Mom…”

Qin Youxuan was sleep talking.

Her small face was breaking out in a cold sweat and she clutched Dan Hanjie’s shirt tightly.

“Is it really that hard to forgive?” Dan Hanjie’s long fingers caressed her face, his eyes filled with unresolved gloom. He interpreted her sleep-talking as a deep resentment towards his betrayal.

He had never regretted any of his actions, but now, for the first time, he felt powerless.

Her self-punishment was even more painful for him than her cold treatment.

“Meow…”
