Chapter 569: Harbor a Mind to Escape

“Don’t say that, it’s my fault. I haven’t thought about coming back for so long, of course he would be surprised when he sees me.” Qin Youxuan instinctively defended Jin Chenye.@@novelbin@@

“So are you blaming me? If you haven’t had time to come back, it’s all because of me.” Dan Hanjie muttered gloomily.

Initially, it was because he wasn’t confident that he could protect her, and could only let her stay temporarily at Yujing Villa.

Afterward, he even lost her.

Even now, she can’t sleep peacefully, heart in her mouth, fearing if he would lose control again.

Every time Dan Hanjie thinks about it, his expression darkens a bit more.

In the end, his whole charming face turns gloomy.

“It’s not your fault; I was purposefully avoiding it. Even if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have come back.” Qin Youxuan’s voice was hesitant, getting softer as she spoke.

She wasn’t consoling Dan Hanjie; it’s the truth.

This place she’s lived in for more than a decade, even after going abroad, she’s constantly thinking about, is now no longer related to her.

Even if Jin Chenye acknowledged her as the young mistress of the Qin Family, she’s no longer one.

How can she gracefully step back into this home?

Qin Youxuan’s eyes sparkled briefly then she hung her head low.

The next second, she found herself embraced by Dan Hanjie.

“As long as I’m here, you can go anywhere.”

“…”

At this, Qin Youxuan’s heart warmed up. His protection was much appreciated and a small smile appeared on her lips.

Before she had a chance to respond, she saw Qin Mo standing still at the entrance of the door, “Dad.”

“We’re here at the doorstep already, why are you still standing? Come in quickly!” Qin Mo beckoned Qin Youxuan, eyes reddening.

“Since you were little, you never listened to me. Now that you’re grown up, you’re even wilder, not coming back home for so long.”

“Dad…”

Seeing the white hair at his temples, Qin Youxuan choked up as soon as she spoke.

She stepped forward and threw herself into Qin Mo’s arms.

“It’s okay as long as you’re back, stop crying. I am fine, I was just missing you, you disobedient wild child.” Qin Mo was filled with joy. He glanced at Dan Hanjie standing behind Qin Youxuan and nodded subconsciously.

Dan Hanjie nodded in return, but remained silent.

“I heard from… Brother that you were enjoying tea. I’m also thirsty, can I join you for a cup?” Qin Youxuan joked, her mood lightening.

Upon hearing her correct herself and call Jin Chenye ‘Brother,’ Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered with satisfaction.

He liked this addressment. It clearly defined their relationship.

It wasn’t important if they were blood-related; annihilating the thought of rivals was key.

“Good, good. The finest aged Puerh tea is being wasted on you.” Qin Mo happily led Qin Youxuan inside.

Hearing his words, Dan Hanjie looked up slightly, “Just as well, because we’ve brought back a White Jade Tea Set.”

“…”

At this, both Qin Mo and Qin Youxuan were stunned.

Qin Mo was surprised that Dan Hanjie had actually initiated conversation with him.

Qin Youxuan was amazed that Dan Hanjie actually had Yao bring tea set.

Which tea goes with what tea set is chosen carefully.

He didn’t just randomly pick a gift…

Knowing this, Qin Youxuan’s heart fluttered.

Before she could speak, Dan Hanjie stepped forward and ruffled her hair, “You’re not suitable to drink too much tea right now, no matter how good it is, don’t get greedy.”

“…”

Looking at the affectionate couple, Qin Mo finally felt relieved.

“Stay for dinner. I’ll have the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes…”
