It was hard for little Tingye to catch up to them, and as he watched his beloved mother slip away again, his little mouth turned down and he burst into tears.

The heart-wrenching cry sounded as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

"Dan Hanjie, put me down now!"

Qin Youxuan couldn’t hold it together anymore. She pushed Dan Hanjie away and ran back.

This time, Dan Hanjie didn’t stop her, but instead followed her back.

She watched as Qin Youxuan stepped forward and picked up the crying little guy squatting on the lawn.

After a long while of soothing, the little guy finally broke into a smile.

His little hand tightly grasped Qin Youxuan’s collar, sobbing, "I hate Dad!"

"..."

Dan Hanjie sat on the grass, and then laid his head on Qin Youxuan’s lap, casting a cold glance at the little dumpling nestled in her arms.

Seeing the tearful stains on his little cheeks, he moved his long fingers to wipe them dry for him.

"Little man, don’t just cry at the drop of a hat."

"..."

Weren’t you the one who made me cry just now?!

The little guy, with his cheeks puffed in anger, blinked his eyes and turned his head away, stubbornly refusing to look at him.

Like he was shy, he buried his little face in Qin Youxuan’s embrace.

After this farce, Dan Hanjie offended both mother and son. At dinner, neither of them wanted to pay him any mind.

"Mr. Jie, should we mention it to Madam, perhaps Madam might have a better solution." Yao suggested softly, standing beside, observing Dan Hanjie left alone in the dining room.

"Shut your mouth. If she hears even a word, I’ll strangle you!" Dan Hanjie said in a low voice, a chill in his eye.

Until Ye Zhanxing was sure to regain consciousness, he wouldn’t let Qin Youxuan hear a whisper of it.

No hope is much happier than getting hope only to face despair.

They are doing well now, there’s no need for her to endure the pain of losing a loved one again.

"Prepare the helicopter, I need to go over again tonight."

Dan Hanjie’s sinister eyes flashed, as his tall body leaned back against the chair, looking towards the living room.

On the sofa, Qin Youxuan was accompanying the just-fed little guy, her charming face alight with smiles.

Dan Hanjie lowered his eyes, not wanting to disturb the warmth in the living room. After finishing his meal, he went straight out of the villa.

"Did Dan Hanjie go out?"

Qin Youxuan waited in the living room for a long time, not seeing him, and instead found out he had already left the villa. She looked at the butler in surprise.

"There are some urgent business matters to handle, Mr. Jie instructed that you should go to bed early and not wait up for him tonight."

The butler stood in the living room, speaking respectfully.

"More matters with the company, is the company’s situation very chaotic lately?" Qin Youxuan turned off the TV, placed little Tingye aside, and took a sip of water.

Confusion flashed in her eyes.

Dan Hanjie would never behave like this. In the past, when he made her angry, he would cling to her, insisting that she say everything was okay before he would stop.

She’d tried sulking with him, and Dan Hanjie would disregard even company matters, staying in the villa with her every day.

He would stay until she panicked, not even daring to get angry, coaxing him sweetly to go to work.

When it came to her, Dan Hanjie could be so childish, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

But these past few times, he’s left so silently...

Qin Youxuan furrowed her brow, an indescribable feeling gnawing at her, something didn’t feel right.

"Call Dan Hanjie’s office line and say I need to talk to him." Qin Youxuan thought for a moment, the more she thought, the more uneasy she felt.

Not waiting for the butler, she walked to the phone herself and dialed Dan Hanjie’s office from memory.
