"We’re all family, complimenting each other back and forth, I don’t even know if I should believe it," Ye Mingmei pouted.

"Alright, both my daughters are beautiful. As a mother, I should be happy. Once you’re dressed and ready, we should head out. Let’s not keep the two gentlemen waiting too long."

Su Yiru handed the bags to Qin Youxuan and Ye Mingmei, reminding them. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Okay."

Qin Youxuan took Ye Mingmei’s hand, waved at Su Yiru, and walked out.

In the lounge room.

Dan Hanjie was dressed in a tailored handmade suit, looking strikingly handsome.

His short black hair stood up perfectly, highlighting his alluring features, making him even more enticing.

When he saw Qin Youxuan walk out, his gaze unintentionally deepened, locking onto her.

"You look beautiful."

Dan Hanjie squinted his devilish eyes, stepped forward, and pulled Qin Youxuan into his arms.

Seeing her blush, he curled his thin lips affectionately, "I really want to hide you in my pocket, so no one else can see you."

"What about my brother, isn’t he here yet?"

Qin Youxuan poked her head out, looking around, but didn’t see Jin Chenye.

"I just called; he’s stuck in traffic and will be a bit late." Dan Hanjie glanced at Ye Mingmei who was standing behind them, and coolly spoke.

He hoped Ye Mingmei could capture Jin Chenye’s attention, so he wouldn’t always be eyeing Qin Youxuan.

"Then we’ll wait for a bit and go together," Qin Youxuan said decisively.

"It looks like time’s running out. You two should go ahead, after all, it’s the Dan Family’s party today. If Mr. Jie is late, who knows what the media might speculate. Better avoid unnecessary trouble," Ye Mingmei suggested with a glance.

"But my brother isn’t here yet, and you’re here alone..."

"My mom’s still here, so I’m not alone. Plus, the senior should be arriving soon. It’s all good," Ye Mingmei interrupted Qin Youxuan’s encouragement and kept urging.

Qin Youxuan looked up, just in time to see Su Yiru walking out from inside.

Knowing that Ye Mingmei had company, she felt relieved and left first with Dan Hanjie.

"You’re not worried about me being late, you just want to give Ye Mingmei and Jin Chenye some alone time." As soon as they got in the car, Dan Hanjie coldly pointed out her motives.

"It’s a bit of both; don’t think I’m so scheming. I’m a kind little princess, okay?" Qin Youxuan looked up at him with a smile, playfully blinking her eyes.

Just as she was about to say something, a sudden wave of nausea hit her.

Covering her mouth, she couldn’t help but gag.

"What’s wrong?" Dan Hanjie’s face fell, nervously pulling her into his arms and telling the driver to stop the car.

"I’m fine. I probably just overate earlier and now I’m carsick, feeling a bit nauseous." Qin Youxuan waved her hand, signaling she was alright, and told the driver to keep going.

"Drive steadily, another bump and you’ll go home on an empty stomach!" Dan Hanjie scolded the driver, rubbing her little head tenderly.

Affected by the misplaced anger, the driver didn’t dare make a sound, slowing down more and more, nearly crawling at a snail’s pace.

Qin Youxuan couldn’t throw up anything, but her face quickly turned pale, leaning weakly against Dan Hanjie’s chest.

"We’re not going to the party, back to the villa, notify Diwu Zexuan to come over."

Dan Hanjie looked down at her, his voice suddenly serious.

"I’m fine, I just need a little rest. Auntie Ru picked this dress for me that I love so much. You can’t just deny me the chance to show it off," Qin Youxuan pouted, feeling wronged.

She tugged at his shirt buttons with her small hands.

Dan Hanjie is currently the CEO of the Dan Group, no matter what, he absolutely cannot miss tonight’s banquet.
