Seeing her reddened eyes, the ghostly silver pupils shimmered with complex light.
His hand stopped at a centimeter from her cheek.
âGo ahead, why donât you hit me? If you have the guts, kill me! I ainât paying you a dime!â
Rui Hui pushed him away, her head held high with pride as she stepped out one step after another.
With forceful strides, she kicked away the debris of devices in her path.
The shards collided with the wall, then fell back to the ground.
She turned and left the lab.
âIâll arrange for the replacement. If not, Iâll compensate tenfold,â said Dan Hanjie, looking at the stunned Diwu Zexuan.
âYou know full well this isnât about the money. Sheâs deliberately targeting me. Until when are you going to indulge her?â Diwu Zexuan didnât look up, his voice tight.
Patience emanated from him.
Dan Hanjieâs eyes flashed: âThe antagonism and provocation are because she cares. Tolerate her until she comes to understand, and not just me, you too. Because this is what you owe her.â
âI donât owe her anything.â Diwu Zexuan sneered with contempt.
Just because he proposed the divorce first, does that mean he is stuck with an enemy who constantly antagonizes him?
âAre you sure?â Dan Hanjie paused, âIf I remember correctly, you agreed to the family marriage initially. As for why you divorced, you know better.â
It was a scheme from the beginning, with Diwu Zexuan plotting against his own family, and Rui Hui was the one who suffered collateral damage in the end.
ââ¦â
Diwu Zexuanâs eyes tightened, raising his head.
Dan Hanjie didnât say anything else, walking straight out of the lab.
Qin Youxuanâs checkup was almost over, he had to go collect his cat.
Leaving Diwu Zexuanâs lab, Qin Youxuan was so tired that her eyelids were fighting to stay open.
âI never knew that doing a full-body checkup could be so exhausting. I thought I was dying on the hospital bed.â Qin Youxuan, cradled firmly in Dan Hanjieâs arms, mumbled quietly as she played with a button on his shirt.
Turning her head, she glanced at Rui Hui who was following behind, âWhatâs wrong? Rui Hui doesnât look very happy.â
ââ¦â
Dan Hanjie stiffened, then uttered lightly, âYou only need to worry about yourself now.â
She was too sensitive, always catching the slightest change in others at first notice.@@novelbin@@
âWhat do I have to worry about? Iâm doing great. Just that weâve been apart for a bit long and I miss you,â Qin Youxuan conjured a joke, feeling a great sense of accomplishment seeing Dan Hanjieâs surprised face.
She enjoyed confessing her feelings more and more. No matter how many times she said it out loud, his stunned look never changed.
It was as if every confession was her first.
This was a delight that never tired.
âIâve missed you too.â
As Dan Hanjie lifted her into the car and placed her onto the back seat, he quickly realized she was already asleep, leaning on the cushion.
A sweet smile still lingered on her pallid face, the corners of her lips slightly raisedâ¦
Looking at her serene sleeping face, Dan Hanjie reluctantly smirked.
With a pampering look in his eyes, he picked her up again, letting Qin Youxuan comfortably snuggle into his arms.
âHold.â
Qin Youxuan was half-awake, mumbled, and instinctively hugged him as she nestled close to him.
Her hand naturally wrapped around his waist, tightly embracing him.
âBuzz buzzââ
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
With one arm holding Qin Youxuan, Dan Hanjie used his free hand to pick up the phone.
