Chapter 599: His gaze is frightening.

“Dan Hanjie, you haven’t told me what happened at the press conference. Everything was fine, and then suddenly you were dismissed. Was it because of the previous major reforms?”

Every time Qin Youxuan thought about his uneasiness in front of the media, she couldn’t help but worry.

She reached out and grabbed his arm. “Are you alright?”

She hadn’t forgotten. The last time she came to the group, Secretary Chen had reminded her. Dan Hanjie’s mental state was abnormal. His bold actions for the group would eventually cause trouble.

She had already had a bad feeling but simply didn’t expect the problem to suddenly erupt so fiercely.

“…”

...

Dan Hanjie moved his eyebrows slightly, staring at her worried face. His big hand held her head. “Am I so useless in your heart that you’re always on tenterhooks around me?”

“No, I don’t care about anything else, I’m just afraid that you’re agitated again…”

The key point was, whenever he was upset, his first reaction would always be to drive her away.

That was what worried her.

“I’m fine.”

“You won’t drive me away?” Qin Youxuan’s cat-like eyes blinked for a moment as she snuggled up into his embrace, hugging his waist like a koala.

“Hmm.” Dan Hanjie stroked her hair and leaned down to leave a kiss at the corner of her mouth.

“But you looked very uncomfortable at the press conference. Should we contact Diwu Zexuan?” Qin Youxuan asked cautiously.

Although Dan Hanjie did not mind discussing his illness with her, it didn’t mean he liked being treated as a patient.

Indeed, she hadn’t seen a more clear-headed patient than him.

Diwu Zexuan said his psychological barrier came from his memory, but the manifestation was atypical.

He was clearer about his own state than anyone else, including self-control…

If it weren’t for witnessing his loss of control, Qin Youxuan would never believe that there was something wrong with his mental state.

“I’m fine.”

Dan Hanjie repeated again, slightly frowning at Qin Youxuan’s anxiousness.

“Is trusting me that hard?”

“You always hide things from me. I can’t tell whether you’re really fine or pretending…”

Qin Youxuan complained softly. The trepidation of seeing him appear at the press conference had left her feeling completely messed up.

“Dan Hanjie, I don’t like this feeling of being kept in the dark about everything. You’re always protecting me, which is making me lose my ability to sense danger. It only makes me more vulnerable.”

She wanted to be shoulder to shoulder with him, not always hiding behind him, being protected, and becoming his burden.

“So you’re learning to shoot with Rui Hui?” Dan Hanjie coldly uttered, his expression darkening.

He grabbed her hand and noticed the red marks on her thumb and index finger which made him frown deeply.

“…You knew about it. I didn’t think it’s a big deal. Relying on others for protection is not as good as learning to protect yourself. Even Rui Hui praised me as having talent. I got a good score of eight in my first attempt.” Qin Youxuan’s voice grew fainter as she felt his imposing stare raise goosebumps on her skin.

She pursed her lips, wanting to explain, but didn’t know what to say.

“Dan Hanjie, please don’t be like this…”@@novelbin@@

His gaze made her scared.

She tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly.

“Don’t touch guns again.” Dan Hanjie grasped her chin, uttering each word distinctly.

Qin Youxuan’s lips moved, trying to protest, but her chin was held tightly by him, she couldn’t utter a word.

He obviously had no intention of giving her a chance to protest.
