Chapter 301: Chapter 301: I Really Know I Was Wrong
She really didn’t want to lie to him but she had no choice. She was scared.

Swiftly, the colour drained from Dan Hanjie’s face, his expression threatening like a storm brewing. Before she could explain, he turned his head and bit her.

“Ouch!”

Qin Youxuan gently shoved him, trying to escape.

When he didn’t budge after a few attempts, she impulsively bit his shoulder in retaliation.

Dan Hanjie inhaled sharply, clutching her tiny frame as though he could merge her into his body.

No one knew how long their entanglement lasted before it finally ended.

Amid the squabble, Qin Youxuan’s vexation seemed to have lightened a lot.

She remembered the earlier argument with Qin Mo but it didn’t hurt as much anymore.

If possible, she would rather be an orphan than living in a loveless family.

Troubled by the constant doubt, she questioned if she was indeed a member of the Qin Family. Why was it that in Qin Mo’s eyes, only his wife and son existed? Why couldn’t he see her?

All she wanted was a bit of fairness.

“What are you thinking about at this time?” Dan Hanjie’s exasperated voice echoed in her ears, his deep eyes mirroring his displeasure.

He pulled her close to him, starting all over again.

In the end, Qin Youxuan was completely drained.

Her petite body curled up and retreated into the quilt, glaring at him.

“If you still have the energy to glare at me, it means you’re not tired enough yet.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan stared into his cold eyes and finally understood what he meant by ‘you’re so dead’…

“No, I really can’t do anymore.”

Just as she tried to get away from him, Dan Hanjie pulled her back against him, making her plead, “Dan Hanjie, I really have learned my lesson.”

“Mmm, first let’s talk about where you went wrong. if your answer is good, I might reconsider.”

“…”

Didn’t they settle the matters just now? Why is he not letting the matter rest now?!

This is like going on endlessly.

“Dan Hanjie, I want to appeal!” Qin Youxuan glared at him fiercely as if she would like to spear him through with her eyes.

“Appeal rejected”

Dan Hanjie leisurely responded, a smirk playing on his lips at the sight of her deflated face. He decided to stop teasing her.

He picked her up and carried her to the bathroom.

When they came out, the room had already been tidy by the servants.

The warm, clean bed was so inviting that she wanted to just jump in, but Qin Youxuan dared not.

She was afraid that if she moved, the man next to her would too.

All she could do was remain still, not daring to budge.

After a while, her legs began to feel numb.

“Are you not tired?”

Upon hearing his warning, Qin Youxuan burrowed herself into the quilt as quickly as possible, covering herself fully.

The blush on her face didn’t fade, she was extremely tired but had lost any sense of sleepiness.

She turned around and buried her face into the pillow, pretending to be dead.

She couldn’t fight him nor provoke him, so hiding was her only choice.

“Come here.”

With only a towel wrapped around his waist, Dan Hanjie leaned against the headboard, reaching out to her.

The light accentuated his enchanting face, casting a deep, dimensional shadow.

He didn’t have to make any effort, his presence alone commanded respect and filled the room with quiet intimidation.

Except for Qin Youxuan.

She’s always been a tough nut to crack.

“No!” Qin Youxuan retreated as far as she could.

She moved so abruptly that she almost fell off the bed.

“I won’t touch you.” Dan Hanjie’s frown deepened as he watched her flinch. His voice held a hint of displeasure.
