Chapter 549: You Call This Poaching

His handsome, deep-set features cast their shadows under the light, as his silver eyes glowed eerily against the night.

Qin Youxuan became alert to the sound of footsteps at the stairs and looked up.

Seconds later, she turned away again.@@novelbin@@

No matter who tried to persuade her, she refused to leave.

“You think that he’ll come out if you behave like this?” Diwu Zexuan stepped forward, his casual tone suggesting a clear disapproval of Qin Youxuan’s behavior.

“Do you have a better solution?”

Qin Youxuan lifted her head to look at him, “If not, get out of my way and stop bothering me.”

“Such a fiesty girl. I wonder what Hanjie sees in you. From head to toe, I can’t find anything remarkable about you.”

“That’s because you lack the eyes that know how to appreciate beauty.” Qin Youxuan cast him a scornful glance before turning away.

“…”

Diwu Zexuan was left speechless, his eyes flashed for a moment before he broke out laughing.

“Right right right, I lack the perception. Would you give me the chance to discover you anew?”

“Did you get hit on the head by a door?”

Qin Youxuan furrowed her brows at him. Diwu Zexuan was acting particularly odd today.

“…I’m sure my mind is just fine.” Diwu Zexuan’s tone remained calm, but his expression was twisted in frustration. It was clear he was irritated by Qin Youxuan, but had to maintain his composure.

“You…” Qin Youxuan was about to speak, when suddenly something occurred to her. She stopped mid-sentence and looked at the door, then at Diwu Zexuan, her eyes filled with suspicion.

Seeing Diwu Zexuan nod, she finally understood.

Her petite body leaned against the door. Her voice raised slightly, “Diwu Zexuan, what are you implying?”

“The proper lady for the noble man — Since Hanjie doesn’t want you, I can take over. That’s not excessive, is it?”

“This is called poaching.” Qin Youxuan couldn’t hold back and quipped.

Nevertheless, her ear was pressed against the door, listening for any movement inside.

Feeling dejected because she couldn’t hear a thing, she turned her attention back to Diwu Zexuan.

He, on the other hand, was relaxed and leaning against the wall, ready to continue his chat with Qin Youxuan.

“It’s better than you starving yourself here. If I remember correctly, your health isn’t great. If you keep pushing yourself like this, you will fall sick. Imagine if you develop chronic stomach problems. That’d be troublesome.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan wanted to retort that she wasn’t that weak, but considering Diwu Zexuan’s purpose, she restrained herself.

“The high levels of stress you’ve been under are damaging your health. Weren’t the false pregnancy symptoms another lesson?” Qin Youxuan kept silent and Diwu Zexuan spoke again lightly.

Hearing this, Qin Youxuan tensed, her eyebrows furrowing.

The moment she thought back to when she thought she was pregnant and Dan Hanjie’s suggestion of abortion…

Her heart ached sharply.

“That’s not even the worst part, aren’t you curious why you haven’t gotten pregnant so far considering how long you’ve been together?” Diwu Zexuan left her hanging, his gaze fixated on Qin Youxuan.

“…What do you mean?”

His words made Qin Youxuan’s nerves tense instantly.

She had thought about this before.

She’d been with Dan Hanjie for so long. Apart from taking contraception once, they hadn’t used any measures to prevent pregnancy.

If it wasn’t for the medical examination that had confirmed her health, Qin Youxuan would’ve suspected that she was infertile.

“We’ll talk about this later. What you should worry about now is the harm you’re causing to your body by not eating or sleeping…”
