Chapter 598: Taken Aback at First Glance

“Yes.”

Secretary Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly exited the room.

Qin Youxuan lifted her head from his chest, not so easily placated, “Just because they don’t stop you, doesn’t mean you aren’t hiding something. I saw the news conference. You… you’re in pain, aren’t you?”

After Qin Youxuan finished speaking, her small hands cradled his face, “Dan Hanjie, stop always thinking about protecting me. I would much rather stand by your side when you need me.”

“…”

Dan Hanjie stiffened unexpectedly, tightening his grip on her and looking at her intensely.

...

“You want to protect me? How would you protect me, tell me. If I’m satisfied, I might consider it.”

“…”

Faced with such a question, she didn’t know how to respond.

Qin Youxuan tilted her head, deep in thought.

After a long while, she spoke in a soft voice.

“I felt useless. Besides being your trash can, someone for you to unload on, it seems I can’t accomplish anything else.”

Qin Youxuan picked at her fingers, becoming more disheartened the more she thought about it.

Dan Hanjie is so powerful. If he can’t resolve the issue, then she would definitely be useless.

“Who said you’re useless? There’s something you’re great at.” A mischievous spark appeared in Dan Hanjie’s eyes as he slightly parted his lips.

“What’s that?” Qin Youxuan perked up right away.

She blinked her clear, cat-like eyes, looking at him intently.

“Hmm…”

Dan Hanjie’s lips touched hers, as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Qin Youxuan’s little hands rested on his chest and she glanced around nervously, there were other people in the office…

She got a shock.

Nobody knew when Yao had left the room.

In the large CEO’s office, only the two of them remained.In

knowing this, Qin Youxuan finally relaxed.

But before she could revel in this, Dan Hanjie’s hand had slid under her blouse.

“We’re in the office…”

Qin Youxuan’s face turned red and she grabbed his hand.

“Kitten, give me.”

Dan Hanjie dropped a kiss on her ear, lightly nipping at it. His voice was low and seductive.

Qin Youxuan’s mind completely fell apart…

Her petite body was placed on the office desk, her back against the table, hands instinctively gripping the edge.

Looking into his deep and dark eyes, something stirred in her heart.

His eyes were so dark and deep… radiating an unspoken loneliness.@@novelbin@@

Such darkness evoked both fear and pity…

Qin Youxuan reached out her hand, caressed his face, traced his features with her fingertips. Her hand, however, was held in his grip, and he gently kissed her fingertips.

“Bear with it a little longer, it’ll be over soon.”

Dan Hanjie pressed his lips to her ear and coaxed a blushing Qin Youxuan in a soft voice.

Drenched in sweat and feeling sticky all over, Qin Youxuan was carried into the resting room by him. She couldn’t comprehend how all her concern for his wellbeing had resulted in her being ‘eaten’ by him without learning anything.

“Dan Hanjie, you only need me at times like this.”

Afterward, an exhausted Qin Youxuan laid face down on the sofa, glaring at the now-refreshed man sitting across her.

Her little fingers dug into the leather sofa, almost as if she wanted to dig a hole into it.

“Wasn’t it you who said that you hope to be there when I need you?” Dan Hanjie moved closer to her, his fingers tracing her collarbone, stopping for a moment, “Or, should we do it one more time?”

“No more!”

Qin Youxuan immediately shot up as if she was jolted by electricity, moving to the edge of the sofa and clutching at the collar of her dress.

She watched him warily.

It felt like only moments had passed, and here he was, wanting more.
