Chapter 430: 430: I Really Underestimated You

He didn’t anticipate for things to happen so quickly. He had planned to delay it for a year.

The situation had exceeded his predictions.

“…”

He said that he couldn’t wait any longer.

For some reason, Qin Youxuan felt a sudden, indescribable sensation in her heart.

She reached out to hold his hand.

“Dan Hanjie, I’m not afraid. I will try my best to protect myself. Once the storm passes, you have to promise me that after you’ve settled everything, let me go back to the United States. I want to continue my studies.”

She wanted to become stronger, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him, not to remain forever behind him, relying on his protection.

“Making conditions even at this time, I underestimated you!” Dan Hanjie lowered his head and bit her lips while frowning in displeasure, “So, you are this eager to leave me, huh?”

Qin Youxuan quickly wormed her way out from below him, “That’s not what I mean. I just don’t want to be stuck in this house forever, being supported by you. What if one day you get tired of me?”

“That won’t happen.”

“Who can tell what the future holds?” Qin Youxuan pouted, and the more she spoke, the more plausible it seemed, “Our marriage is only for one year. Who knows, you might fall for a more attractive woman, and I will end up being a divorced woman.”

Qin Youxuan assured herself that she was just joking and wasn’t really concerned about the marriage agreement.

But after listening to her words, Dan Hanjie remained silent, his deep black eyes looking at her without uttering a word.

“Stop looking at me like that, just pretend I haven’t said anything.”

Qin Youxuan was uncomfortable under his intense gaze. She got up from the sofa and headed towards the door, “I’m going to check on Da Bai.”

“…”

Dan Hanjie watched her retreating figure without hindering her.

His dark eyes were deep like a pond, unfathomable.

What would her reaction be if she knew this one-year marriage was all a scam to get her to sign the agreement?

He didn’t dare to gamble.

…

Newspapers, news, TV…

The exposure of the mysterious wife of the current CEO of the Dan Group and their secret marriage, followed by a trip overseas for their honeymoon, had nearly swept across all of Fico City.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qin Youxuan’s identity was finally exposed by the reporters. The news of Miss Qin missing out on inheriting the Qin Group but instead becoming a lofty phoenix soon became the talk of the town.

Not just traditional media, but even the internet had dug clean about Qin Youxuan’s life experiences right from her elementary school friends to the ones she made after going abroad.

With each explosive revelation, people were in awe that their classmate had become the First Lady of the Dan Group.

As Qin Youxuan heard many well wishes, she couldn’t help but to seek out some unfavorable comments.

They say humans tend to sabotage themselves.

Even when they are truly happy, they might panic if luck comes too suddenly.

This was the case for Qin Youxuan.

Although everyone wished her a long, happy life with Dan Hanjie, she was obsessively looking for voices of dissent.

As if by doing so, she could prove that all the happiness in front of her was not a dream.

However, after these few days, she realized that whenever any media or TV station reported any negative news about her, it was quickly squashed.

As a result, the remaining media outlets learned which areas were off-limits.

Now, it was not easy for Qin Youxuan to find anything negative about her in the newspapers or news.

Without asking, she knew who was behind it all.

That man really controlled the whole Fico City. Here, he was the emperor, and no one dared to challenge his authority.
