"I’ll take you another day. You can keep the dress." Dan Hanjie said firmly when he saw her pale face.

"But I want to go." Qin Youxuan sniffled with grievance.

Her delicate face scrunched up, and her little hand clutched his shirt button even tighter.

"Honey, can you go with me? I promise I’ll be good at the party and won’t eat anything impulsive."

"..."

The word "honey" made Dan Hanjie’s body tremble.

His alluring eyes flickered but were ultimately defeated by her pleas. He reached out and pinched her face, "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable. We’ll show our faces and then leave."

"Mm-hmm, I promise." Qin Youxuan raised her little hand and agreed with a smile.

The car smoothly hit the road again.

When they arrived at Dan Yi’s private estate, the banquet had not officially begun.

Guests from various backgrounds were presenting their invitations, entering one after another.

"Mr. Jie."

The guard saw Dan Hanjie and greeted him respectfully.

"Are your high heels comfortable, or should I carry you?" Dan Hanjie wrapped Qin Youxuan in his arms, worriedly looking at her.

Qin Youxuan looked a bit better, with makeup on, you couldn’t tell anything was wrong unless you looked closely.

A sky-blue gown made her look elegant and poised, her delicate face lightly dusted with powder was stunning.

Her clear cat-like eyes exuded an undeniable rebellious charm. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Dan Hanjie held her shoulder with one hand, and as soon as they appeared, they caught everyone’s attention.

Even people nearby started approaching Dan Hanjie to greet him.

Dan Hanjie glared coldly and ignored everyone, leading Qin Youxuan directly to the lawn bench of the estate to let her sit down.

"Want something to drink? No alcohol." Before Qin Youxuan could speak, Dan Hanjie added, blocking whatever she was going to say.

"I’m really fine; I can jump around now. You’re so nervous, making me feel like I’m terminally ill."

"Don’t say such things!" Dan Hanjie pressed her cherry lips, lowering his voice.

With his big hand on her little head, he said, "With me around, nothing will happen to you."

"..."

Is he being too nervous?

She just overate and felt a bit nauseous.

Qin Youxuan pouted.

"Stay here and don’t run around; I’ll get you some juice." Dan Hanjie’s bewitching eyes flickered, finally withdrawing his hand and heading toward the beverage stand.

Qin Youxuan was bored waiting for Dan Hanjie, glancing around until she saw Chiyo Ito in a white dress walking towards her with a glass of champagne.

Seeing Qin Youxuan sitting on the bench, Chiyo Ito’s eyes lit up like she found a treasure.

Such a persistent woman.

Qin Youxuan frowned, watching Chiyo Ito stride towards her.

"Why are you alone? Is it because Mr. Jie didn’t deem you worthy to keep by his side, and you can only hide here alone in embarrassment?" Chiyo Ito scoped the area but didn’t see Dan Hanjie, and tauntingly sneered.

"Where do you get the confidence that you’re better than me, Miss Ito? Aren’t you alone too?" Qin Youxuan crossed her arms and sneered at her.

"I almost forgot, Miss Ito is so capable. The pregnancy scandal before was so loud, probably no wealthy young master dares to invite you as a dance partner, afraid they might end up becoming a father the next day without even touching you. It’s not worth the risk."
