Chapter 279: 279: What’s He Pondering About Again

“So what you mean is, you like my scent, so holding me, you can sleep without medicine, but this has nothing to do with Bai Wei?”

Qin Youxuan rapidly pieced together his answer, her gaze becoming glossy.

“She told you about this too?” Dan Hanjie frowned in displeasure. His eyebrows contorted into a ‘川’ shape.

“Answer my question first!” Qin Youxuan stared at him anxiously, increasingly impatient.

“What’s the rush.” Dan Hanjie’s gaze deepened, his fair and slender fingers traced her furrowed brows, hooking into a wicked smile, “If you care about Wei’er so much, cat, is there something you haven’t told me?”

“… There’s nothing, just answer me.” Qin Youxuan was anxious, and annoyed.

She frenziedly tugged at the buttons on his shirt, almost pulling them off.

“Hmm, there’s no second disobedient cat like you,” Dan Hanjie stopped teasing her, lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, smiling.

His cat was jealous.

“…”

Was he mocking or praising her?

No matter, she’d take it as a compliment, a cat is also a one-of-a-kind cat, not a replacement for others!

“Dan Hanjie, your Wei’er mentioned that you have insomnia and need medication to sleep. Can you tell me what’s going on?” Qin Youxuan asked cautiously.

Her gaze fixated on his charming side profile, not wanting to miss any hint of emotion on his face.

Cuddled in Dan Hanjie’s embrace, she distinctly felt his body stiffen.

“I just want to know why you always need to hold me while sleeping. Bai Wei showed me a pill bottle, what kind of medicine was inside…”

Before Qin Youxuan could finish, she felt Dan Hanjie’s arm around her waist tighten.

Her waist ached from his harsh grip and she couldn’t help but frown as she noticed his face pale unexpectedly.

His enchanting eyes reflected an eerie light as they slowly narrowed, emanating a terrifying aura—

“Dan Hanjie, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me, I won’t ask anymore! I promise I won’t ask anymore!” Qin Youxuan used her hands to cradle his face and, with all her might, hugged his neck.

Dan Hanjie merely sat there stiffly, pursing his lips tightly.

After what felt like forever, Qin Youxuan felt him relax slightly, as he let out a soft sigh.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t. But why scare me like that?” Qin Youxuan glanced at him apprehensively and nervously chewed her thumbnail.

Dan Hanjie’s gaze tightened, his breath faltered slightly. Nevertheless, he only held her tighter, remaining silent.

After a while, he finally let go and stared at her intently.

It seemed as though he was contemplating something, his gaze as deep as a fathomless pond, yet he remained silent.

“Does Bai Wei know?”

“…”

Dan Hanjie watched her cute face, her expression of jealousy and restraint, and couldn’t help but smile.

His tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he shook his head.

“Well, that’s good. At the very least, she can’t hold it against you and act high and mighty in front of me.” Qin Youxuan’s clear cat-like eyes twinkled with amusement.

Knowing Bai Wei was in the dark also, her mood suddenly lifted.

Her cheerfulness lasted only a few seconds, soon her face fell again.

“What are you pondering now?” Noticing her deflated expression, Dan Hanjie, too, furrowed his eyebrows.

“Dan Hanjie, can you tell me what your relationship with Bai Wei is, why you call her Wei’er… also, she… said she was the first one who could let you sleep peacefully …” Qin Youxuan bit her lip.

She didn’t know how to continue.

Should she straight up ask if he’d slept with Bai Wei?

She really wanted to ask, but…

…
