Chapter 429: 429: No Secrets Last Forever

Suddenly, her vision was blurred with tears. She quickly slid the ring onto his ring finger. Standing on her toes, she hooked her arms around his neck and actively pressed her lips to his.

“Qin Youxuan, you’re the one who won’t admit it, wanting to do shameful things in broad daylight.”

“…”

The romantic atmosphere completely disappeared.

The two of them tangled for a while, and then Qin Youxuan leaned against his chest, fiddling with his shirt buttons.

“Don’t you have to go to the company this afternoon?”

“I’d rather be with you,” Dan Hanjie replied, resting one hand on her shoulder and leaning back against the sofa cushion. Her whole body weight was on him.

His long fingers played with her hair, twirling it into a circle, and then let go.

“Will the sudden release of our marriage news really have no impact on you? I heard Jin Chenye say…” Before Qin Youxuan could finish, her mouth was covered.

She blinked her confused cat-like eyes at his suddenly clouded face.

“Never let me hear that name from your mouth again.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan was stunned, and then he spoke again, “Aside from what I say, you don’t need to listen to any other man.”

“So, the announcement of the marriage won’t affect you?”

Qin Youxuan went directly to the point, without arguing about Jin Chenye.

“Truth?” Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered, and he turned her face toward him.

“Yes.”

Qin Youxuan sat up straight, watching him nervously.

“Since the marriage news was announced, Dan Group’s stock has dropped a few percentage points, and even the stakeholders have started asking for accountability, waiting for my explanation,” Dan Hanjie said, his dark eyes fixed on her increasingly gloomy little face, his thin lips curling into a smile.

“If this is the news you want to hear, you would probably be disappointed.”

“…”

What does that mean?

Qin Youxuan’s dejected face quickly lifted.

“Trust your man.” Dan Hanjie held her petite body close, his voice soft and light.

“…”

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, but that she didn’t trust herself.

Even when she was Miss Qin, she was not worthy to be by his side, let alone now.

She is just an illegitimate child whose father is unknown.

“What I’m worried about isn’t the company, it’s you,” Dan Hanjie murmured after a while before continuing, “Cat, I will increase manpower to watch over Yujing Villa during this time. Unless I’m with you, it’s best that you don’t go anywhere.”

“Why?”

Qin Youxuan turned around, raised her head from his arms, “Are you worried that someone will harm me? What about you? Could you be in danger?”

Remembering the first time they were attacked, Qin Youxuan still has lingering fear.

Staying by his side, she can’t help him at all. She can only be a burden.

“Even if you were a burden, I would still relish it. Moreover, you’re never a burden,” Dan Hanjie seemed to see what she was thinking, his lips parted slightly, his voice neither light nor heavy carried a bewitching power.

Qin Youxuan shivered.

“Dan Hanjie…”

“The person they want to harm is not you, it’s me. In fact, I’m the one who’s burdening you. Are you afraid?”

His slender fingers stroked her face. It was the first time she saw him with such a solemn look, as if foreseeing a thorny path ahead, but he had to keep moving forward.

“If announcing the marriage would cause so much trouble, why not keep it a secret?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“There are no eternal secrets. Besides, I couldn’t wait any longer.” When he saw her with Jin Chenye, he wanted to keep her firmly tied to him.

The best way to declare his possession was to announce their marriage.
