Chapter 428: 428 Fulfilling the Promise

She was still upset that Jin Chenye had held her hand…

Qin Youxuan lowered her head to look at her hand. He wouldn’t actually be so upset that he’d cut off her hand, would he?

Qin Youxuan quickly pulled back her hand, met Dan Hanjie’s cold, hawk-like eyes, and turned to run towards Da Bai who was under the sofa.

She reached out, took Da Bai, whom he had accidentally kicked, up into her arms and soothed it.

“You go in and eat first, I’ll feed Da Bai.”

Qin Youxuan turned around and tried to make a run for it.

“If you don’t want to see wolf meat at the dinner table tonight, you’d better put it down.” Dan Hanjie’s tall figure remained unmoving, his eyes fixed on the little wolf pup in her arms with a murderous intent.

Qin Youxuan immediately hid Da Bai behind her, “Dan Hanjie, this is the gift you gave me!”

“Then you should know that the giver is more important than the gift.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan smoothed out Da Bai’s fur, obediently put it down, and gestured for it to run outside.

Seeing that Da Bai had bolted to the yard, she finally relaxed.

She lifted her head to look at Dan Hanjie.

Did he give her a gift or a vulnerability?

He has been threatening her with Da Bai every day.

“Can you join me for dinner now?” Dan Hanjie raised an eyebrow.

“…”

Could she say no?

After carefully serving his lordship dinner, before she could let out a triumphant cheer of liberation, Qin Youxuan was dragged back to the bedroom.

“Dan Hanjie, it’s broad daylight, and it’s not good for the body to exert oneself right after eating!” Qin Youxuan’s collar was grabbed, her body was spun around, and she made a determined attempt to break free of his grasp.

“Are you trying to imply something?” Dan Hanjie let go of her, his fingers sliding over her soft cheek, giving it a pinch.

Qin Youxuan grimaced in pain, slapped his hand away, and glared at him.

If he didn’t want to do something embarrassing, why didn’t he take a walk after dinner, and instead dragged her back to the room?

“Come here.”

Dan Hanjie met her questioning eyes, his chest tightened. He reached out, grabbed her hand, and dragged her to the table.

“Open it and see.”

“…”

Look at what?

Qin Youxuan reached out, glanced at him suspiciously, and only when she saw that his expression held no intention of punishing her, did she open the drawer.

Inside was a delicate box.

Qin Youxuan’s eyes flickered, her breath hitched.

It was a ring box.

She remembered that the last time he took out matching rings, it was from this box.

But last time, only she wore it, he didn’t.

“Aren’t you going to take it out?” Seeing her in a daze, Dan Hanjie’s voice grew colder.

Seeing that Qin Youxuan jumped in fright from his shouting, he frowned in distress.

Damn it, when did she become so timid, so easily frightened?

“I’ve taken it out.”

Qin Youxuan took the ring out of the drawer, turned around, and handed it to him.

“Do you remember what I said?” Dan Hanjie asked, his lips parting slightly. He didn’t reach out to take the box from her hand, he just stared at her.

“…”

Qin Youxuan bit her lip, her eyes welling up, remaining silent.

In the opened box was a white gold ring shining with a faint glow, very simple yet grand in design.

When placed in her petite hands, the ring looked noticeably large, matching the one on her ring finger, they made a perfect pair.

As Qin Youxuan was studying the ring in her hand, she saw Dan Hanjie’s hand extend in front of her.

He had said, his ring she would put on.

She thought he was just deceiving her, she had not expected that he remembered.

Suddenly her chest felt full, tinged with a touch of bitterness but also sweetness.
