Dan Hanjie stood less than three meters away from her, his slender eyes slightly lifted.
Seeing the handprint on her face, his eyes tightened, and he glanced at Yao.
Understanding immediately, Yao grabbed the bodyguard who had just attacked Qin Youxuan, twisted his hand backwards, and a horrific cry followed. The man passed out immediately.
Needless to say, that hand was completely ruined.
The remaining bodyguards, realising the situation, attempted to step forward, but Yao took out a gun from his waist and played with it coldly, “Who dares to lay a hand on Mr. Jie?”
“J-Jie… Mr. Jie…”
The bodyguards looked at each other, lifted their injured comrade, and disappeared immediately.
Qin Youxuan leaned against the wall, her head down, shoulders slightly trembling. Her face was hidden, but instinctively, it seemed like she was crying.
Dan Hanjie’s gaze softened, feeling a tightness in his chest.
“Thought you were pretty clever, huh? You even thought to record everything, so why can’t you run away?”
He walked over to Qin Youxuan, grabbed her chin, forcing her to lift her head.
His tone was fierce, filled with a hint of anger he didn’t even know where it came from.
Staring into Qin Youxuan’s clear cat-like eyes, he was left speechless.
Her eyes were crystal clear, the pupils were like top-tier black opals. Under the faint light, they were even more lustrous and mesmerizing.
Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, like miniature brushes tickling the heart, and the faint upturn of her lips showed no sign of crying at all.
He was overthinking!
Dan Hanjie stared at the handprint on her face, silent for a long while.
Qin Youxuan, on the other hand, was only stunned for a moment before she gave a wry smile, “Thank you!”
“Hiss—
When she grimaced, the pain from the wound on her face made her gasp.
Ignoring Dan Hanjie’s unusual look, she bent down to pick up the fallen recorder and her bag.
Though she’d been slapped, the recorder was still intact. With this evidence in hand, she’d resolved the malicious injury issue. Any way you looked at it, it was something to be happy about.
So, apart from the initial shock, Qin Youxuan didn’t show any of the sadness or anger Dan Hanjie had expected.
His gaze narrowed as he looked her up and down.
Without a doubt, Qin Youxuan was beautiful, but not the most beautiful woman he’d seen.
Dan Hanjie could have any woman he wanted, yet there was never one like her: wild and untamed.
The defiant glint in her cat-like eyes could inadvertently ignite a man’s desire to conquer.
“Um, if there is nothing else, I’ll leave first!” Qin Youxuan picked up her stuff, eager to back up things at the law firm.
What if that despicable Chen Chuang returned to snatch her stuff after Dan Hanjie left?
“I did you such a big favor, and you’re going to dismiss me with just a thank you?”
“How about I treat you to a meal then?” Qin Youxuan tentatively asked.
Either way, she wouldn’t agree to be his woman.
She was certain of this.
If she wanted to fight for her inheritance, she would never sell herself short. Her mother in heaven would be heartbroken if she did.
“Sure.” Dan Hanjie looked at her shimmering eyes, a smile tugged at the corner of his lips, giving an improbable answer.
Qin Youxuan was stunned.
She had asked him rather casually, without a shred of sincerity, and he actually agreed?
Seeing that he had no intention of joking, Qin Youxuan agreed, “I have something to do today, let’s do it another day. I’ll contact you.”
With that, she waved her hand and slipped away..
