Jin Chenye was about to grind his silver teeth into powder, his young and handsome face filled with unwillingness.
âYou knew all along that Meng Ziqi was the ringleader of all this trouble, but you watched as Qin Youxuan accused my mother, forcing me to choose between the two of them, even taking her into the courtroom, Dan Hanjie, you despicable villain!â
In an instant, Jin Chenye understood everything.
Out of sheer frustration, he swung his fist at him.
âBangâââ
The heavy thud echoed throughout the vast space.
Jin Chenyeâs fist stopped just a few centimeters from Dan Hanjieâs face. Astonished, he raised his head to look at Qin Youxuan who was standing at the staircase entrance, having arrived there unnoticed.
Her face was pale, and her bright, cat-like eyes were filled with shock.
The suitcase in her hand loosened and rolled down the stairs, stopping at the bottom step.
Just like that night when Jin Lan rolled down the stairs in front of herâ¦
âI must have misheard⦠It must beâ¦â
Qin Youxuan stood still, staring at the two confronting men in the living room, murmuring to herself.
She never once looked at Dan Hanjieâs face, afraid of seeing any guilt in his eyes.
She turned her petite body and started to go back upstairs.
âYouxuan!â
Dan Hanjie turned to see her standing at the head of the stairs. His heart sank and he rushed over to her.
He reached out and took her hand, âLet me explain.â
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan halted, slowly turning her body around. Her eyes were welling up with tears.
Her voice trembled, âDan Hanjie, which of your words are true?â
ââ¦â
Dan Hanjieâs breath hitched, his grip on her hand tightened, but he remained silent.
Qin Youxuan forcefully freed her hand, backing away. She moved too hastily, tripped on the step, took a tumble, then steadied herself by holding the railing.
Dan Hanjie wanted to help her up, but she backed away from him even more.
The way she looked at him, like he was a total stranger.
Yes, she had never really understood himâ¦
âLetâs go home first, Iâll give you a satisfactory explanation.â
Will it be another lie covering up a previous one? Until when do you plan to keep lying to me?â Qin Youxuan laughed bitterly as her tears slipped down.
âDan Hanjie, I donât want to be around you anymore, letâs take some time apart to cool downâ¦â
âI disagree!â
Dan Hanjieâs cold face tightened, his low voice cutting her off.
âCome home with me, Cat.â Dan Hanjie reached out his hand, his black eyes deep with unease.
In Qin Youxuanâs eyes, it just signified a bigger lie waiting for her to step into.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He knew all along that Meng Ziqi was the culprit, yet he watched as she turned against Jin Lanâ¦
He knew Diwu Zexuan all along, even carefully orchestrating every move but lied to her face every time she askedâ¦
No wonder, no wonder why he had to leave suddenly that day in court, did he know all along that Jin Lan would be acquitted?
From the beginning to the end, she was the only fool that was being played by him yet she considered him her last lifeline.
How ironic!
âNo, I donât want to go with youâ¦â
Qin Youxuan stared at his hand, abruptly retreating.
Just as she was about to run, her petite body was pulled into his embrace.
âLet go of me, let go! I donât want to go with you. Dan Hanjie, youâre a liar!â
Qin Youxuan struggled angrily, yelling loudly.
Both her hands formed fists, pounding against his chest with all her might.
Dan Hanjie grunted a couple of times but did not loosen his grip, his face grew increasingly pale.
There was no trace of color on his enchanting face, his veins bulging, sweat kept dripping downâ¦
