âYour hand is bleeding!â
Qin Youxuanâs eyes tensed up as she tried to grasp his hand, only to be pulled away by Dan Hanjie.
âI am not going to die. A little bloodshed will only allow you to see how worried you are.â
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuanâs body stiffened in disbelief as she looked up at him.
Has he gone mad?
He was making light of his own body, just so she would worry about him.
Did he realize how severe his hand injury was?
The glass cut him so deep that it nearly severed his tendons.
It took great effort to suture it up, and yet he was using his body to threaten her once againâ¦
âHave you lost your mind?â Qin Youxuan shouted, stepping back and glaring at him.
âYouâre a madman, a madman!â
ââ¦â
Dan Hanjie squinted, his deep gaze fixated on her hysterical display.
An elusive light flashed across his resolute face.
âItâs just a woman, you can throw a yearâs agreement at me, so who are you putting up this show for?â Qin Youxuan gripped her hair uncontrollably as the strain of the past few days had made it impossible for her to control her emotions.
His relentless pressure left her breathless, and yet that agreement was constantly reminding her that there had to be an end.
She couldnât pretend nothing happened, imagining a lifetime together, having kidsâ¦
âI donât understand why a fake marriage can cause you so much trouble. Why do you insist on acting this way?â Qin Youxuan gazed at him blankly, her body continuously trying to step back.
She didnât want to ask.
She thought that if he liked it, she would let him continue to hide it.
She wasnât curious, really.
Itâs just that it felt a little uncomfortable.
If he didnât want to talk about it, even if she asked, he wouldnât say anything.
It would only result in another heated argument.
He had already hurt one hand, what else would he hurt if she caused a scene again?
Qin Youxuanâs nerves tightened, her petite body crawled out of the bed and went straight to the door of the sickroom.
She couldnât argue with him.
âBangââ
After taking a few steps, Qin Youxuan bumped into a broad chest.
Dan Hanjie had somehow managed to block her path, his iron arms tightly holding her against him.
âDonât go.â
He held her, his chin resting on her head, his voice low and soothing.
His enchanting, magnetic voice had a hint of comfort.
But he didnât say anything to explain.
Qin Youxuan waited for a long time but no words came. She laughed coldly.
âDan Hanjie, what am I to you exactly? An expendable plaything?â
He could easily present her with an agreement and force her to sign it.
Yet, he was maiming himself for a woman who he could control so easilyâ¦
She really didnât understand what he was thinking and she couldnât stand it anymore!
ââ¦â
She finally asked.
With Qin Youxuan in his arms, Dan Hanjieâs grip kept tightening. His charming eyes transformed, and then he only said lazily, âYouâll find out after a year.â
âWhat if I canât wait that long?â Qin Youxuan retorted without thinking.
âYou must wait.â Dan Hanjieâs voice dropped, and his authoritative proclamation was stern and absolute.
His frosty eyes conveyed his supremacy and intolerance for any dispute.
Even with his pale face due to wearing only hospital gowns, his stern gaze left no room for anyone to question his decisions.
âThen can you promise me that within this year, no matter what I do, you wonât hurt yourself?â Qin Youxuanâs eyes flashed as she looked up at him.
âNo,â Dan Hanjieâs answer was straightforward, without a hint of hesitation.
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan was choked with indignation.
She opened her eyes wide in anger, glaring at him.
âIf I donât hurt myself, Iâm afraid I wonât be able to resist hurting youâ¦â Dan Hanjie loosened his grip on her a little, his long fingers touching her delicate cheeks, and he uttered each word deliberately.
