âI thought you werenât going to take care of me. Why carry me in?â Qin Youxuan gathered her courage and looked up at him, hoping to see a hint of reluctance on his face.
But there was none.
His face was nothing but cold indifference.
His tightly pressed lips evoked a trace of annoyance, and his dark eyes stared at her intensely.
It made Qin Youxuan feel uncomfortable all over.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She didnât understand. If he admitted to carrying her in, had he not effectively admitted to his reluctance to leave her, why then was he looking at her this way?
His eyes seemed to want to tear her apart⦠There was not a hint of Diwu Zexuanâs assertion that he was helpless against her.
âSee for yourself.â
After a pause, Dan Hanjie tossed the newspaper in his hand in front of her.
His towering figure turned away and walked to the balcony, where he lit a cigarette and took a puff.
The faint smoke spilled from his sexy lips encircling his mesmerizing face, outlining a potent sense of estrangement and a hint of suppressed irritationâ¦
Qin Youxuan watched his actions, slightly stunned.
She didnât immediately look at the newspaper. She was observing him.
He did not have an addiction to smoking, and he had never smoked in front of her before.
Sometimes in the study, when she stumbled upon him smoking, he would instantly put it out.
He didnât want her to inhale secondhand smoke.
But now, he just lit a cigarette in front of her, puffing smoke within her line of sightâ¦
Qin Youxuan felt an inexplicable sourness, as if she had bitten into a lemon first thing in the morning.
Even though he intentionally moved to the balcony, Qin Youxuan still felt uncomfortable.
Unknowingly, he had changed.
The speed of his change left her unpreparedâ¦
Qin Youxuan didnât know if she could accept these changes. She could only continuously console herself that he was just sick.
His memory loss was his illness.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Qin Youxuan bravely reached out to flip open the newspaper he had tossed onto her.
After seeing the content, she was instantly taken aback and looked at Dan Hanjie in shock.
At the same time, he turned to look at her.
For a moment, both of them were frozen in place.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Qin Youxuan, clutching the newspaper, finally blurted out, âI didnât do this.â
ââ¦â
Dan Hanjieâs eyebrows furrowed deeply as he watched her with unreadable eyes.
Thinking he didnât believe her, Qin Youxuan couldnât care about her dizziness from the fever as she quickly got down from the bed and ran to him with the newspaper, pointing at the photo.
âLook at the angle of this photo, itâs impossible for me to have taken it myself. Yes, after you left me that day, I walked to the city alone and fainted. Jin Chenye saved me, and then went to the cemetery and the park at the intersection, but I was in no condition to do anything, much less take photos and send them to the media!â
Qin Youxuan explained frantically, her pale fingers gripping the newspaper, staring at the photo, trying to find any loopholes.
The front-page headlines of the newspaper were particularly glaring.
[Dan Group CEOâs Shocking Marital Upheaval, Abandoned Wife Saved from the Streets]
[Married in a Rush, Divorced in a Flash, Dan Group CEOâs Recent Marriage Alleged to be Publicity Stunt]
[Miss Qin Downgraded from Phoenix to Sparrow Again, Fantasy of Wealthy Family Life Shattered]
A variety of headings covered the whole page.
The accompanying photo showed Qin Youxuan, alone and desolate at an intersection, nearly hit by a car.
She was soaked from head to toe, even her hair was sopping wet draped over her shoulders.
