But when she had dragged herself down the stairs at a snail’s pace, she found Master’s car still parked there, with him leaning against the window, watching her. Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly jogged over, waved, and put on a pretentious smile. “I really enjoyed the meal today. Goodbye!”

Never to see each other again…

Qin Youxuan silently added in her heart.

“Get in.”

Dan Hanjie ignored her farewell, making an unrefusable command.

“Uh…l can just take a taxi home by myself, really, you don’t need to be polite.” Qin Youxuan answered smilingly, regretting internally that she did not drive herself here.

Looking at Dan Hanjie’s raised eyebrows, after struggling for a few seconds, realizing that people on the street kept glancing at them, she finally got into the car.

It’s just a ride home after a meal, and she can save on cab fare – certainly better than being the spectacle she was becoming at the roadside – what’s there to fuss about?

Yes, that’s the idea.

Qin Youxuan got in the car and just sat down without a word.

She kept her gaze straight ahead, waiting for Yao to drive.

The man next to her didn’t seem to want to chat either. Qin Youxuan carefully glanced at him from the corner of her eye. Upon seeing that he was closing his eyes as if for a nap, she breathed a sigh of relief.

So, he really just intended to drop her off at home, not to take her to his place.

“You can stop at the junction ahead.” The moment Qin Youxuan saw the Qin Mansion coming into view, she promptly shouted.

Before Yao could bring the car to a halt, she pushed open the car door and hurriedly got out.

“Thank you, I’ve arrived.” Qin Youxuan maintained her elegant smile and waved politely at Yao.

Under the bright street lamp, her delicate facial features appeared extremely dainty and charming. Coupled with her playful cat-like eyes, it was hard not to take a second glance at her.

Dan Hanjie, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes slowly upon hearing her voice.

With his bewitching eyes, he took a glance at the Qin Mansion which was still a distance away, then turned to look at Qin Youxuan who was now close to him. He curled his thin lips but said nothing.

Watching as she turned around and ran off, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Was this cat of his in a hurry to distance herself from him?

It was only after walking some distance that it struck Qin Youxuan. She had not mentioned her address, how did Dan HanJie know that the Qin Mansion was here?

Slapping her forehead, she couldn’t help but glance back at the car which was still parked there, and began to walk even faster.

As if there were debtors chasing after her.

“Mr. Jie, this is the information you requested.” Yao took out a file from his briefcase once Qin Youxuan was out of sight.

It was even more detailed than the one before.

Dan Hanjie glanced at the document bag in front of him without taking it, his hands crossed, half-closing his eyes.

Yao understood his gesture and didn’t rush to drive immediately. Instead, he started speaking at a calm pace. “Qin family is not complicated, they are purely business-oriented. Their business has been lukewarm, but their reputation in the industry is good. Qin MO and the mother of Miss Qin are from familial marriages…”

Yao’s tone was constant, words unhurried.

“Qin MO and Jin Lan were first loves but had to break up due to family objections. Forced to wed the mother of Miss Qin, according to the information we obtained, Qin MO, though resigned to familial pressures, maintained an extramarital relationship with Jin Lan. In fact, they even had an illegitimate child before marriage. If not for the family’s intervention, this child should indeed have been the legitimate successor of the Qin family. The mother of Miss Qin, after learning about their relationship, couldn’t bear the pain and committed suicide when Miss Qin was still a teenager..”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
