Chapter 345: 345 We Are Already Married

“It’s all nonsense! Yu’er is calm and understanding. I have never seen a woman who respects manners and rules more than her. Those reports are all unfounded speculations. You should not believe a single word!”

Qin Mo shouted passionately.

“It’s me. I failed to fulfill my promise to her. I caused her to be dishonoured even in her death. I owe her an apology…” Qin Mo’s voice choked. His old eyes filled with regret.

He slowly bowed his head towards Qin Youxuan.

“So, what the newspaper said is true. I am really not your biological daughter…” Qin Youxuan’s body went limp.

Jin Chenye stepped forward, just about to reach out to support her when a tall figure swiftly stepped in. He swept her into his arms before Jin Chenye could touch Qin Youxuan.

“You are not siblings anymore. Stop feigning concern!” Dan Hanjie raised his cold eyes, slanting a glance at Jin Chenye, whose arm had been frozen mid-air. His wicked eyes were narrowed, radiating a chilling air.

“We are no longer siblings. You should understand better how genuine my concerns are.” Jin Chenye reluctantly withdrew his hand, emphasizing each word, but he was not looking at Dan Hanjie. He was looking at Qin Youxuan.

The revelation of Qin Youxuan’s true parentage in such a way was beyond his expectations. However, the outcome couldn’t have been better for him.

They were no longer siblings.

They had never been when they first met, fell in love, and even now…There’s nothing that could stop them from being together anymore!

Jin Chenye’s warm eyes shimmered with determination, his face resolute.

“…”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes tightened, reflecting a bloodthirsty gleam. He slowly averted his gaze.

Good, just as he expected.

As soon as the label of “siblings” was lifted, Jin Chenye would become his greatest threat.

After all, he and Qin Youxuan didn’t share an unforgettable past. Those naive yet sweet memories of first love were things she would never forget…

Dan Hanjie’s grip on Qin Youxuan’s hand tightened.

Qin Youxuan was still trying to process the recent revelations. She was in shock, her eyebrows furrowing subconsciously due to the pain from his squeeze.

Seeing her wince, Dan Hanjie lost control for a moment then quickly released her hand.

Upon meeting Jin Chenye’s provocative gaze, Dan Hanjie coldly smirked, “Unfortunately, it’s too late for you. I forgot to mention, we’re already married.”

“…What did you say?”

Jin Chenye stiffened, looking up in disbelief, his warm eyes filled with shock.

He clenched his hands into fists, forcing himself to remain calm.

“Do you think I would believe you?”

The Dan Group stands out in Fico City, and Dan Hanjie is the current CEO. His marriage would not go unnoticed by the media.

Moreover, he had secretly investigated that the power struggle within the Dan Family was fierce.

The struggle between different factions determined the next leader of the Dan Family, if Dan Hanjie wanted to ascend to the throne, his marriage could not be decided by himself alone.

This was why Jin Chenye adamantly refused Qin Youxuan’s relationship with Dan Hanjie in the first place.

Now, however, Dan Hanjie was telling him that they were married.

Jin Chenye refused to believe it.

“Whether you believe it or not, it has never mattered.”

Dan Hanjie held the stunned Qin Youxuan, his fingers gently stroking her face with a painful look in his eyes.

“I didn’t want to get involved in the matters of the older generation, but since she has nothing to do with the Qin Family from now on, I will look after her. Any man who covets my wife, I won’t let him off!”

“Whether Xuan has anything to do with the Qin Family or not, it’s not up to you.”

Jin Chenye narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, and blocked Dan Hanjie, preventing him from taking Qin Youxuan away.
