Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Voluntarily Submitting to Him
“I’ve finished.” Qin Youxuan put the empty bowl on the table, suppressing her nausea as she spoke.

“How does the ginger soup prepared by your old beau taste? Is it unforgettable?”

It was just a bowl of ginger soup, and he forced her to drink it. Was it appropriate for him to make such taunting remarks?

Damn it, her stomach wasn’t hurting anymore, but it seemed her stomach couldn’t bear it.

She must have held a grudge against ginger in her previous life and was suffering the consequences in this one.

“Dan Hanjie, I feel awful. Can I sleep off this discomfort before you criticize me…?” Qin Youxuan made a bitter face and looked at him pitifully. It was a rarity that she didn’t retort.

She was genuinely out of energy.

Dan Hanjie stared at her pale face, suppressing his anger.

He walked over, picked her up, and headed to the bed.

Once snuggled into bed next to her, she nuzzled comfortably into his embrace, found a comfortable position, and obediently fell asleep.

She was already exhausted from the shock and fright and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

Dan Hanjie leaned on one hand, glanced at her peaceful sleeping face, and a hint of a smile pulled at his lips.

She looked pleasant and beautiful when sleeping, so peaceful that it made one’s heart ache.

He stretched out a finger and lightly ran it down her nose, causing her to scrunch her nose cutely in response.

It was impossible to suppress a smile.

He bent down and kissed her lips.

Tasting the faint ginger flavor on her lips, Dan Hanjie’s gaze darkened.

Jin Chenye knew he would come and had people lie in wait.

He was aware that he was in Qin Youxuan’s room, yet he deliberately had the housekeeper bring ginger soup over…

“What kind of cage must be designed to keep a restless cat like you contained?”

“Hmm…”

Qin Youxuan was half-asleep and rolled over. She mumbled something in her sleep, oblivious to his words, and drifted back into slumber.

The next day.

The sun was shining brightly.

Spots of light danced on the window ledge, filtering through the curtained room.

Qin Youxuan had slept deeply.

When she woke up, there was no one in the room.

“That was fast. How considerate of him to leave so quickly.” Qin Youxuan adjusted her nightdress and walked to the window. After confirming Dan Hanjie’s absence, she returned to the room.

She picked out an outfit from the wardrobe, got dressed, and headed out.

It was the weekend, and she didn’t have to work. She had made plans to meet Director Lin to discuss the status of Jin Chenye’s acquisition of Qin Group’s shares.

“Good morning, Miss.” As soon as she descended the stairs, the housekeeper respectfully greeted her. “May I prepare breakfast for you?”

“No need, I’ve an appointment for brunch, and it’s about time for that…”

Just as Qin Youxuan was speaking, she saw Jin Chenye entering with a man.

With her view obstructed by the light, she couldn’t see the man’s face clearly.

The man was dressed in a white suit, which glowed golden in the morning sunshine, as if it was bathed in holy light.

His casual and elegant demeanor, coupled with a hint of mischief, was captivating.

When the man entered the living room, Qin Youxuan was stunned.

It was him.

That man called Diwu something…

Those peculiar silver eyes, she could never forget them.

“Hello again, beautiful girl, we surely are fated.” Diwu Zexuan glanced at Qin Youxuan, who looked slightly startled. He generously extended his hand.

Qin Youxuan lowered her head and looked at the hand in front of her, making no move to respond.

She just looked at Jin Chenye with puzzlement.

Why did he bring a man home to the Qin Family residence?
