Chapter 456: Maybe Someone Sent It Wrong

“Wasting expressions.

Qin Youxuan huffed irritably, “I’m done talking, I don’t want to speak to you anymore, goodbye!”

Having hung up, Qin Youxuan promptly laid herself back on the bench, sulking.

She had mustered up the courage to confess her love for the first time in her life, and he hadn’t even heard it.

It simply drove her mad.

…

On the other end of the call.

An imposing figure leaned against the railing on the wind-swept deck of a speedboat, maintaining his position for a long time, immobile.

His enchanting handsome face bore an indescribable oddity.

A surprise, astonishment, and a touch of stupor…

Such a lost expression appeared for the first time on Dan Hanjie’s flawless face.

She had just asked him if longing could be considered an illness.

Longing…

He truly wondered if he had misheard. When he asked again, she hung up.

Dan Hanjie looked at the darkened mobile screen and redialed her number.

…

“Beep beep—”

As the phone rang, Qin Youxuan immediately sat up on the bench. Seeing it was a text message, she froze.

“What the hell, he didn’t even call to apologize. He just sent a text.”

Her slender fingers hovered over the screen, indecisive if she should open the message.

If he was acting aloof, wouldn’t her being too eager appear unreserved?

But if she didn’t look…

Forget it, she had confessed. There’s no need for modesty!

Qin Youxuan chuckled and unlocked her phone, clicking on the text message.

The message made Qin Youxuan’s eyes narrow. She swiftly got up from the bench, nervously looking around.

The text consisted of a single simple sentence, ‘Your silhouette is beautiful, your father would be proud.’ The sender was an unknown number.

She didn’t recognize it.

Qin Youxuan examined her surroundings carefully. She was the only one in the expansive yard. Even Da Bai had scampered off to who knows where.

Grassland, flower beds, ornamental trees…

The beautiful landscape made the entire Yujing Villa look elegant.

The seemingly unchanged villa was now tightly guarded, with patrols every few hundred meters. In the brief minutes that Qin Youxuan was lost in her thoughts, two groups of guards had passed.

With such high-frequency patrols, it’s impossible for someone to sneak in unnoticed while still having a clear view of her.

It must just be spam, or maybe someone sent the message to the wrong number.

Qin Youxuan pursed her lips, deleting the message.

Having waited for a while and still not hearing from Dan Hanjie, she was so annoyed she almost threw her phone.

Disgruntled, she grabbed her phone and stormed back to her room.

Two days passed, and Qin Youxuan still hadn’t received a call from Dan Hanjie.

Holding her phone, she’d been tempted to call him several times but held herself back each time.

She was not afraid of him laughing at her, but she was afraid of disturbing him.

He’d been gone for so long, and he only called when he had the time. Qin Youxuan had never once initiated a call.

She was afraid that if the timing wasn’t right, it could put him in danger.

But Dan Hanjie has never gone a whole day without a single call …

His continued silence has made Qin Youxuan restless, she even lost her appetite.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oow–”

Qin Youxuan irritably kicked at the leg of the chair, accidentally striking Da Bai curled at her feet.

Da Bai yelped and scampered away.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, did I hurt you?”

Pitying Da Bai, Qin Youxuan picked him up, careful to pet him down.
