Upon seeing Qin Youxuan, Dan Hanjieâs gaze shifted slightly, just for a moment, before regaining its usual composure.
He pretended not to notice her, his steps leading him towards the door.
Taking the suit jacket Yao handed him, he donned it. It masked the blood and filth on his body, his bewitching face exuding cold arrogance that deterred anyone from approaching himâ¦
Just like the first time she saw him.
Standing amidst the crowd, he was like an emperor, looking down upon those around him scornfully, as though they were mere ants he could crush with ease.
But he never used to look at her in such a way.
A pang of panic hit Qin Youxuan as she reached out to grab his arm, âDan Hanjie, what you saw wasnât real. It was all an illusion created by Wu Qing. I didnât betray youâ¦â
A strong hand suddenly seized her mouth, squeezing it tightly.
Qin Youxuanâs mouth was forced out of shape under the pressure, making it impossible for her to speak.
Her eyes tightened in the face of Dan Hanjieâs cold, harsh gaze.
âWu Qing, is that the man?â Dan Hanjieâs grip became harder, making Qin Youxuan feel as though he was about to crush her jaw.
âNo⦠Thatâsâ¦â
Qin Youxuan tried her best to explain, her eyes nervously fixed on Dan Hanjie.
She couldnât let him believe that scene; she had no idea who Wu Qing was after all.
âIt doesnât matter now.â
Dan Hanjie gradually released his grip, stepped back and looked down at her from above. âA woman who has been touched by another, I find repulsive.â
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan froze, eyes wide in shock, staring blankly at him.
She had never imagined how much it would hurt to hear such words from his mouth.
It felt as if someone was strangling her, causing a suffocating ache throughout her body.
His eyes were so icy and alienâ¦
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan wanted to speak, but she was at a loss for words.
Watching him turn around indifferently and begin to walk away, it felt as if her heart had been abruptly torn out.
It was as if her blood was flowing in the wrong directionâ¦
Suddenly, her eyes brightened, and she rushed forward, blocking Dan Hanjieâs path.
âDan Hanjie, Iâm pregnant!â Qin Youxuan said with desperation, her petite body lurching forward to tightly embrace his strong waist, repeating her words over and over.
âIâm pregnant. You said that youâd cherish any child born of me. You canât go back on your wordsâ¦â
Qin Youxuan exclaimed, clutching his arm while hugging him desperately.
Her desperation could not change his response.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Dan Hanjie simply pushed her away coldly. His enchanting eyes swept over her flat belly, a hint of mockery in his smile, âAre you sure the child is mine?â
ââ¦â
His thin lips formed into a single word, âAbort.â
ââ¦â
The disgust in his eyes was so obvious, so deepâ¦
Each word was like a dagger, stabbing straight into Qin Youxuanâs heart.
Causing a flow of blood to pour outâ¦
Qin Youxuanâs legs gave out, and she dropped to the ground.
He only cast her an indifferent glance before walking away.
âMiss, are you okay?â Yao stepped forward, reaching out to help Qin Youxuan up, but she shrank back.
Her wide, frightened eyes looked at Yao incredulously.
âDid I mishear? He couldnât possibly not want our childâ¦â
Qin Youxuan clung to her head, coiling into a ball.
âMiss, when Mr. Jie was youngerâ¦â Yao stopped himself, âAnyway, calm down for now. Iâve already contacted Mr. Zexian. He will be here soon; everything will be okay when he arrives.â
Before Yao could say anything else, he saw Dan Hanjie standing at the door, his enchanting black eyes warning him.
âTake care, Miss!â
Yao clenched his jaw, turning to follow him out.
âWithout him saying he wonât abandon me, no one else can do anythingâ¦â Qin Youxuanâs eyes were dazed as she stared blankly ahead, tears trickling down her cheeks to the floor.
