Chapter 222: 222: You’re so clumsy, you can’t do without me

“America.”

With a nonchalant response, Dan Hanjie’s bewitching face remained placid and undisturbed.

His large hand idly played with her delicate, white fingers.

He didn’t intend to elaborate further.

“Didn’t we just return from Pittsburgh? What’s he doing in America again?”

Disappearing silently for almost a month…

Qin Youxuan’s eyes flitted around, uncertain about whether she should continue asking.

Would he think she was checking up on him?

Although she really was checking up on him, she felt somewhat dejected…

“Something came up unexpectedly.”

“Is it sorted out now?” Qin Youxuan fluttered her cat-like eyes, looking at him expectantly.

“What do you want to ask?”

“I’m worried you’ll disappear again.” Qin Youxuan’s tone suddenly became desolate, her cat-like eyes clouding over.

He could come and go as he pleased, but what about her?

“That won’t happen. You’re so foolish, you can’t manage without me.” Dan Hanjie said with an indifferent expression, yet Qin Youxuan could detect arrogance in his tone.

What did he mean she couldn’t manage without him? Was she so inadequate?

She had only been framed by others.

Such a conceited man.

“Any objections?”

“No.” Qin Youxuan shook her head vigorously, her petite body wriggling out of his embrace and back onto the bed.

“You’re working, I’m sleeping.”

As long as he did not leave, she wouldn’t feel that scared.

“You’ve distributed the tasks rather fairly.” Dan Hanjie’s handsome face turned grim, and with a flip of his tall body, he drew her in and laid down. “I won’t work anymore, sleeping with you comes first.”

“Even your laziness is my fault now, am I the source of disaster?”

“You’ve realized it rather quickly.” Dan Hanjie patted her head solemnly, the corner of his mouth curling into a mischievous grin.

Qin Youxuan protested for a while, but Dan Hanjie kept holding her in his arms, his thin lips pressed against her earlobe.

“Sleep.”

Rarely, Dan Hanjie didn’t start anything passionately and just let her use his arm as a pillow.

The familiar scent by her side allowed Qin Youxuan to relax quickly. Unconsciously, she nested in his embrace, gripping his collar and fell asleep.

Even breaths came from beside her, Dan Hanjie opened his enchanting eyes slightly, gently shifted her little head from his chest and planted a kiss on her mouth.

Unsatisfied.

He playfully nudged her petite nose with his long finger.

He tickled Qin Youxuan until she yawned and almost woke up.

Silly cat.

Dan Hanjie’s eyes grew serious, his tall body getting off the bed and stepped towards the door.

In the study.

Yao was already waiting respectfully at the desk. “Mr. Jie.”

“How is the investigation going?” Dan Hanjie’s eyes were deep, so deep that they seemed shrouded in darkness.

Sitting casually in his chair, his arm swung over to glance at Yao.

He had only been gone for a short time, but such a major incident had happened.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he had returned any later, he didn’t know what would have befallen his cat.

“The case is a bit tricky. At the time of the incident, only three people were present. Jin Lan fell from the building and is now in a vegetative state, Meng Ziqi has been stabbed and was critically injured, only Miss Qin was unharmed. The entire staff of the Qin Mansion was asleep at the time, there are no eyewitnesses to confirm Miss Qin’s statement.”

“You mean, as long as Meng Ziqi insists that Qin Youxuan is the murderer, she has no way to refute.” Dan Hanjie’s voice was indifferent, and his narrow eyes were filled with a dangerous gleam.

“Unless we can find stronger evidence.” Yao responded pragmatically.
