Chapter 332: Chapter 332 – Xuan, My Xuan…
Over twenty years of living as an illegitimate child, he had felt resentment, but in the end, he accepted it.

But why, why couldn’t his acceptance garner him even the smallest bit of what he desired, but instead, it pushed him step by step into a corner…

He just brushed past happiness.

“Ah–”

Jin Chenye held his head in his hands, howling in desperation like a beast on the brink.

The sound of despair was heartrending.

“Knock, knock–”

“Young master! Young master, what’s wrong with you?”

“Young master, are you alright…”

The butler’s voice rang outside the door, with the intermittent sounds of other people’s footsteps.

“…”

Jin Chenye knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, showing no reaction for quite a while.

“Young master, please open the door…”

The butler’s worried voice grew louder outside the door. After a long period of silence, he ordered someone to fetch the spare key.

“Get lost–”

“All of you, get lost!”

Jin Chenye suddenly stood up from the ground, his gentle eyes completely engulfed in blood-like anger as he roared in fury.

Dragging his heavy steps, he slowly headed towards the desk.

He reached out and pulled open the bottom drawer, taking out a picture frame.

His pale, clean fingers lightly brushed over the girl’s smiling face in the photo, his gaze deep like an abyss.

“My little Xuan, my Xuan…”

…

Qin Youxuan was taken to the park at the corner of the street by Dan Hanjie.

The park she had stumbled into on the day of Jiang Yu’s death anniversary.

“Here.”

Dan Hanjie set her down on a bench in front of a fountain, stuffing a handful of coins into her hand.

His cold face remained expressionless.

“…”

Qin Youxuan blankly stared at the coins in her palm, at least several dozen of them. Holding them carefully in both her hands, she was completely bewildered.

What was he doing giving her so many coins?

Qin Youxuan looked up at him in confusion.

“Make a wish.”

Dan Hanjie’s indifferent gaze was fixated on the fountain ahead. Under the sunlight, quite a few tourists were also throwing coins into the fountain and making wishes.

“This is all a scam, and you believe it too.”

Qin Youxuan followed his gaze, and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

She held the coins with both hands and placed them on the bench, and picked a few to play with in her palm.

She never believed in fate.

“I’ll make your wish come true.” Dan Hanjie grabbed her hand, his deep voice sounding exceptionally clear.

“…”

Qin Youxuan was momentarily stunned, slowly looking up at him.

After a while, she finally understood what he was saying. Her eyes flickered, and she withdrew her hand from his.

Looking at her toes, she said, “You don’t have to do this. Jin Lan being acquitted has nothing to do with you. It was my own arrogance, not allowing you to interfere, that let Jin Chenye exploit the law.”

He didn’t have to make any promises to make up for it.

“You’re not happy.” Dan Hanjie coldly pointed out the crux of the matter, his bewitching eyes narrowing slightly.

Ever since they left the courthouse, she had spent the whole day in a daze on his office couch.

Even though she had been reading the thick penal law book all day, she was still stuck on the first page.

Even if he was careless, he could sense something was wrong.

“Yeah, I’m not happy. Who wouldn’t be unhappy about this?” Qin Youxuan blinked her cat-like eyes in bewilderment, pursing her lips and looking at him curiously.

She was framed as a murderer and was nearly sentenced.

The real murderer, however, was acquitted right in front of her in court.

No one could be happy about that.

Moreover, even if we put everything else aside, her hatred for Jin Lan was enough. Even without the murder, she wouldn’t want Jin Lan to be happy.
