ââ¦â
What did he say?
He did not spare himself for that woman, let alone herâ¦
No, no, itâs not this way.
âJie, listen to me,â Bai Wei, looking at the sharp Swiss Army knife on the table, her voice trembling, âI didnât do it on purpose, I was just⦠I lost my head in angerâ¦â
Dan Hanjie raised his eyebrows indifferently, looking at her but saying nothing.
His enchanting eyes emanated with cold ruthlessness, unmoved.
âNo, I donât wantâ¦â
Bai Wei moved back, her body shaking non-stop, âIt shouldnât be like thisâ¦â
How could he be so heartless towards her?
How could he be?
âDan Hanjie, you said youâd protect me in place of your brother⦠â
For a Qin Youxuan he compels her to mutilate herself. What does this count for?!
âProtection? Do you need it?â
Dan Hanjie curled his thin lips in a cold laugh, rising from the bed and pacing towards Bai Wei.
The imposing momentum of his towering figure instantly caused Bai Weiâs knees to weaken, and she almost fell onto the floor next to the table.
âWeiâer, are you still the Weiâer I know?â
Dan Hanjie gazed down at her from above. His deep gaze seemed to penetrate the human heart, cold and ruthless.
âIâ¦I was just jealous of herâ¦â Bai Wei muttered, her heart pounding under his gaze, and sat down on the floor, tightly hugging her knees, curling up into a ball.
Upon meeting Dan Hanjieâs dark eyes, out of instinct, she turned her head.
âJie, I realize my mistake. Please donât drive me away. I promise not to make any trouble in the future and will walk around her whenever I see herâ¦â Bai Wei bit her lip, her frightened hands clutching Dan Hanjieâs trouser leg. She was speaking amid sobs.
She couldnât leave now, she absolutely couldnât.
âLet go!â
Dan Hanjie shouted coldly, stepping back to avoid Bai Weiâs touch.
He closed his eyes and a deep understanding shone in the darkness of his gaze.
âIf thereâs a next time, whichever hand of yours touched her, consider it as you not wanting it anymore.â After Dan Hanjie said this, he turned around and returned to his bed and looked at Yao at the door. âTake Miss Bai to her room for rest.â
âYes, Mr. Jie.â
Upon hearing the command, Yao quickly walked in.
âMiss Bai, please.â
ââ¦â
Bai Wei, regaining her composure, wanted to say something else, but the sight of the Swiss Army knife on the table stopped her.
She glanced at Dan Hanjie unwillingly, gritted her teeth, stood up from the floor, and followed Yao out.
Yao returned after a short time.
âMr. Jie, everything is organized. Miss Bai was quite scared. Is she going to be okay?â
âIf she is so easily scared, it means hitting someone was unintentional. Otherwise, I would not have kept her until now.â Dan Hanjie reclined on a sofa, casually placing a document on the side, raising an eyebrow.
He had said, his woman, no one is allowed to touch, except for him.
Qin Youxuan thought that by making everyone conceal it from him, he wouldnât find out. She even applied an ice pack to her swollen face before he woke up.
She had forgotten that he knows every bit of her. How could he possibly not realize?
Dan Hanjieâs eyes darkened, his sharp gaze falling on Yao beside him. âRemember to whom you belong. This being your first offense, I am letting it go, but if it happens again, you wonât need to stay by my side.â
âI am fully aware of my mistake.â Yao was sweating profusely.
âHow are things going with Jin Lan?â Dan Hanjieâs gaze flickered, his cold lips parting slightly.
Jin Lan had been awake for nearly a week, I am afraid that Jin Chenye is now doing his best to exonerate her.
âAs Mr. Jie predicted, Jin Chenyeâs actions were quick. He has addressed all the necessary channels and with the influence of the Meng family, the verdict for Jin Lan should arrive soonâ¦â
