Chapter 513: From the Start, It was All Hype

Yao didn’t notice the change in Qin Youxuan, shaking his head as he explained.

“It’s useless; the marriage certificate of Mr. Jie was revealed to the public during the initial PR crisis. But the media is only interested in the authenticity of the pictures, claiming that the young lady is being neglected and that a dissolution was inevitable. They say this impromptu marriage and equally abrupt separation is nothing but a publicity stunt.”

The beginning of a marriage is a secret.

From the day their marriage was announced, they became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Dan Hanjie’s status meant that he could not afford to have any kind of scandal like ordinary people.

A successful man who has won the heart of a beautiful woman; it’s a story everyone is happy to accept.

Ironically, it gave Dan Hanjie and his company’s image a boost.

But it has only been a month since the marriage was announced, and rumors of a separation have already surfaced…

It’s equivalent to slapping one’s own face.

“….”

Qin Youxuan’s mind was already in turmoil, and now it was even more chaotic.

Whenever she thought about how Dan Hanjie’s refusal to divorce was only to deal with the PR crisis, her heart tightened with pressure.

The reason she always convinced herself to stay and persevere was because he refused to get a divorce.

Deep down, she was willing to believe that he didn’t want her to leave.

But now, she doesn’t even have fifty percent confidence…

Dan Hanjie was good at weighing his options, to him, she was nothing but a pawn in his hands.

“It has nothing to do with this.”

Dan Hanjie looked at her pale face, as if seeing through her heart, word by word.

His expression was still cold, but his tone betrayed a hint of panic.

He looked steadily at Qin Youxuan. Seeing no reaction from her, he repeated, “Refusing to divorce has nothing to do with this.”

The hand by his side was tightly clenched into a fist.

Meeting Qin Youxuan’s surprised cat-like eyes, he realized what he’d said. Regretting his words, he hastily left the room.

He drove away from Yujing Villa.

“Woosh——”

However, the car stopped just after he had turned the corner.

“Bang——”

Dan Hanjie punched the steering wheel hard, his face full of regret.

It’s better if she misunderstood. Why did he explain?

The car stood at the corner for nearly ten minutes before Dan Hanjie recovered, and once again started the car to leave.

Back at Yujing Villa.

Qin Youxuan had been motionless for half an hour already.

She just stood there, her bright cat-like eyes wide as two copper bells.

It was even scarier than seeing a ghost.

Dan Hanjie actually explained to her…

He actually explained…

“Yao, Yao, pinch me quickly, see if I’m dreaming!” Qin Youxuan suddenly extended her hand, pointing to her own cheek.

“….”

Yao stood respectfully in front of her, not daring to lift a hand.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unable to wait, Qin Youxuan pinched herself hard, wincing from the pain.

“It’s true, I’m not dreaming, Dan Hanjie really explained to me!” The corner of Qin Youxuan’s mouth curled up into a silly smile.

She knew what it felt like to receive a lifeline in the depths of despair. She was experiencing it again.

But this time, it was different from any other time she had experienced it before.

Her persistence had elicited his response.

Qin Youxuan’s entire demeanor brightened, even her cold seemed to have improved.

“Miss, that’s also why I stayed. Mr. Jie’s current state is very unusual, only when he sees you does he control his temper.”

“….”

Qin Youxuan was taken aback, her smiling face freezing in place.
