Chapter 452: 452: She Has Changed

His appearance immediately lowered the pressure in the villa.

“Are you hungry? We can start dinner.”

Qin Youxuan stepped forward, reaching out to hold his hand.

A shock ran through Dan Hanjie’s body at her approach. Seeing the smile on her face, he furrowed his brow.

His deep dark eyes were like deep pool, as if trying to see right through her.

“What’s wrong, is there something dirty on my face?”

Felt uncomfortable under his gaze, Qin Youxuan reached up to touch her face.

She had definitely washed her face when she came out of the kitchen earlier; how could there be anything dirty?

She bit her lip in annoyance. As she was about to turn around, Dan Hanjie grabbed her wrist, pulling her forcefully back into his arms.

His hands cupped her face.

“Not dirty, very beautiful.”

His thin lips parted slowly, his words deliberate.

He said it with an unusual seriousness.

As long as she was smiling, she was always beautiful.

“Cat…”

He uttered from his deep velvet voice, extremely bewitching.

However, uncertainty lingered heavily.

He rarely slept so soundly. When he woke up, she had changed, making him uneasy.

“I’m here.”

Qin Youxuan wrapped her arms around his waist and could clearly feel Dan Hanjie’s body stiffening. A wave of guilt surged up from the bottom of her heart.

These past few days, she thought she was the one being punished, but in reality, he must not have been feeling much better.

“You’re exhausted, so I added something to the incense for you to sleep deeply.”

Before he could ask, Qin Youxuan made the confession proactively.

Dan Hanjie with his sharp senses, he would definitely notice something was off.

She didn’t want him to worry unnecessary.

“Hmm.”

Hearing her words, Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered and he nodded slightly.

“The kitchen prepared your favorite food, are you hungry? We will eat first and then go for a walk with Da Bai.”

As she spoke, she held his hand and continued to walk downstairs.

In the dining room, the butler had everything prepared.

Including the soup Qin Youxuan had personally simmered.

“…”

Dragged along, Dan Hanjie’s dark eyes flashed with curiosity. He looked at the woman leading the way, and the hand she was holding.

She was different today…

“You may not have much of an appetite after waking up. I’ll pour some soup for you first.”

Before Qin Youxuan could pick up the ladle, her hand was held down by Dan Hanjie. He glanced at the servant standing by with cold eyes.

What was the point of keeping these people here if they were going to let his woman do all the work?

“Young Mistress, let me do it.”

It took a moment for the butler to react, hurrying forward to take the spoon and bowl from Qin Youxuan’s hands.

Only then did the stern look on Dan Hanjie’s face softened. He let go, pulling her to sit next to him.

Just as they sat down, Qin Youxuan moved on her seat, sitting across from him.

She preferred sitting face to face so she could clearly see his expressions.

Upon receiving the soup served by the butler, Qin Youxuan carefully placed the bowl in front of Dan Hanjie, full of anticipation. “Please have a taste, see if it suits your palate.”

“…”

Dan Hanjie glanced at the soup that looked rather mediocre, then looked at Qin Youxuan whose mood seemed to be good. His appetite improved consequently.

He picked up the soup spoon and took a sip.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Does it not taste good?” Qin Youxuan’s expression tensed, more nervous than a serious exam.

Her hands were all twisted together and she even held her breath.

“…”

Dan Hanjie didn’t speak. He put down the spoon and lifted his head to look at her.

Her reactions today were very unusual.
