Chapter 341: Let Me Hold You for a While

His face remained expressionless, but the aura surrounding him dropped instantly, reeking a chilling presence.

Qin Youxuan’s grip tightened around the medicine box.

“Do you like children?” Qin Youxuan placed the medicine back into the box, suddenly spoke out. There was confusion in her eyes, and an indescribable anticipation.

“…”

Dan Hanjie noticed her movements, his once taut face softened, but his eyes deepened.

Children….

He did not like them.

Qin Youxuan could see it.

She could even see a faint, unspeakable disgust in Dan Hanjie’s eyes…

She stiffened and bit her lip.

“If you do not like children, why…”

Why doesn’t he let her use birth control?

Qin Youxuan picked up the medicine box again, but her eyes were fixed on Dan Hanjie.

She disliked the unfathomable look on his face that no one could approach, and she could only probe his boundaries from the outskirts of his world, time and again.

“I will cherish the one you bear.”

After a long pause, just when Qin Youxuan thought she would not get an answer, Dan Hanjie suddenly spoke.

Each word was uttered with extra emphasis.

The few simple words seemed to drain all his energy.

He turned around, his dark eyes fixed on her.

“…”

He didn’t like children, but if she gave birth, he would cherish them. Was this what he meant?

The hand holding the box weighed heavier, and the paper box was crushed instantly.

An odd sensation welled up in her heart.

“I have heard that taking contraceptives often could harm one’s health. You should take less.” She tossed the medicine box into the trash can, picked up the water cup from the table, and took a sip.

As she caught Dan Hanjie’s surprised glance, she offered him the cup, “Do you want some water?”

“…”

Dan Hanjie did not move, but his enchanting eyes were blazing hot, gazing at her.

“Let it be if you dont want to.” She turned around, about to place the cup onto the table, when a pair of powerful arms encircled her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

“Bang——”

The water cup slipped from her hand and dropped onto the floor; the water spread across the floor…

Sensing that the man behind her was a little off, Qin Youxuan instinctively wanted to turn around. “Dan Hanjie…”

“Don’t speak. Let me hold you for a moment.” His chin rested on her shoulder, his voice was enchanting but a bit gloomy, “Qin Youxuan, once you get in, you can’t get out. I’m afraid you’ll regret it.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan froze, not knowing how to react.

“What’s wrong?”

What did he mean by suddenly saying something so inexplicable, something that seemed like and unlike an explanation?

What did he mean by regrets?

“Nothing’s wrong. It’s getting late, let’s have breakfast.” Dan Hanjie suddenly loosened his hold, his large hand slid to her side and interlaced with her little hand. He pulled Qin Youxuan along and strode out of the room.

“Mr. Jie.”

Outside the door, Yao stood guard respectfully. His face bore no expression, but his entire body was taut with tension, suggesting a silent anxiety.

“If you have something to say, go ahead. I’ll go downstairs first.”

She hadn’t digested Dan Hanjie’s words from earlier, so Qin Youxuan let go of his hand and began to leave.

“No need.”

Dan Hanjie caught her wrist, pulled Qin Youxuan back to his side, raised an eyebrow at Yao and said, “Speak.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan paused, looked up at him, confirmed he wasn’t joking, then turned to look at Yao.

“Mr. Jie, this incident is aimed at Miss Qin…”

Worry flickered across Yao’s expressionless face. He met Dan Hanjie’s displeased gaze and hastily bowed his head.
