Chapter 417: Do You Mean I Have Been Holding You Back

“…”

Seeing her excited appearance, Dan Hanjie’s expression became even more unpleasant.

Why did he feel like a fool, as if he was delivering his woman into the lair of another tomcat?

“Don’t get too excited, I’m going to have someone follow you,” Dan Hanjie suddenly spoke.

“…”

Qin Youxuan was taken aback, “What do you mean? Don’t you trust me?”

Her cat-like eyes instantly deepened, staring at Dan Hanjie with a probing look.

She thought that after going through so much, he would understand that it was impossible for her and Jin Chenye.

Why did he still want to have someone follow her?

“There seems to be something wrong with my protective network. Before I figure it out, it’s best if you don’t go anywhere. If you must go out, take someone with you.” Dan Hanjie’s voice was indifferent, his gaze was icy, revealing nothing.

“…”

If it was just this, it wouldn’t be that he didn’t trust her anymore.

Qin Youxuan lowered her gaze, rubbing her face with her hand, wondering why she was so sensitive.

“I can protect myself, and besides, if there’s something wrong with your protective network, the one who should be careful is you. As long as I’m not with you, I should be fine.”

“So you’re saying I’m holding you back?” Dan Hanjie closed in on her face, his warm breath blowing over her face, warm and ticklish, and a bit dangerous…

Qin Youxuan stiffened, “That’s not possible! I’m just worried about you. You must be sure to bring more bodyguards when you go out, just in case of danger, at least there will be more people to help.”

“…”

“By the way, from what you said, it seems like you know who is trying to harm you. Is it a very powerful person?”

Anyone that could make Dan Hanjie fear must not be underestimated.

Such an influential figure wouldn’t bother to mess with a small fry like herself.

Dan Hanjie must be overthinking.

“I don’t know, but I’ll handle it.”

Dan Hanjie raised an eyebrow, clearly not wanting to continue discussing this matter with her. He quickly replied, and his large hand slid back to her waist.

“Since you’re not sleepy yet, how about we try another position?”

“I’m already asleep.” Qin Youxuan laid down to one side, immediately feigning death.

She didn’t want to be so worn out that she couldn’t go anywhere tomorrow…

Dan Hanjie glanced sideways at her cute face, his eyes filled with indulgence. He reached out and ruffled her hair, pulling her into his arms.

Thinking of her meeting with Jin Chenye tomorrow, a dangerous glint passed through his eyes.

…

The next day.

Qin Youxuan lazed in bed and struggled to get up for a while. When she looked over, there was no one beside her anymore.

She brushed her teeth and washed her face while half-awake, then changed clothes.

When she finally made her way downstairs, she still felt like a wandering spirit.

“Howl——”

A clear wolf howl startled her, and before she could react, a fluffy little thing jumped down from the chair and pounced on her.

Qin Youxuan couldn’t avoid it and instinctively raised her hand to catch it.

Her body was pushed back a few steps, and when she came to her senses, she was met with the wolf pup’s open jaws. Its tiny teeth were particularly terrifying.

As she quickly regained her senses, Qin Youxuan remembered that she had just adopted a wolf yesterday…

Called Da Bai.

Her body stiffened immediately.

A wet, sticky sensation came from the back of her hand. She looked down and saw Da Bai dutifully licking her hand, seemingly in a good mood.

With a few low whimpers, it comfortably nestled into her arms.

Seeing it acting like this, Qin Youxuan’s fear subsided significantly.
