Chapter 362: Chapter 362: His merits await discovery
Dan Hanjie didn’t hear her voice and seemed a bit agitated.
“Why aren’t you talking? Where are you?”
“Dan Hanjie, why didn’t you come to pick me up…” When Qin Youxuan heard his words, she unconsciously complained, her voice filled with grievance, revealing a girlish coyness.
Even she didn’t notice it herself.
Her little finger anxiously picked at her own toenails, her body slid from the edge of the bed to the floor.
“Missed me?” The voice of Dan Hanjie suddenly turned gentle.
“….”
She could even imagine him smirking on the other end of the phone, waiting for her to admit it.
She pouted, “No, just someone who doesn’t keep his word. I was considering what size dog collar to buy for him.”
“….”
Dan Hanjie didn’t expect her to say that; he hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.
Qin Youxuan thought he was angry and held her breath, not daring to speak.
“I’m trying to sort out your mother’s issue. At the latest by tomorrow, I’ll come get you. Wait for me.” Dan Hanjie’s deep voice came through the phone, inexplicably calming her down.
Just as Qin Youxuan was about to speak, she thought she heard a gasp from the other end of the phone, and she tensed up.
“Dan Hanjie, are you ok?”
“Is someone after you again?”
“You’re injured, aren’t you?” All the bad things rushed through Qin Youxuan’s mind all at once, making her extremely anxious.
“…I’m fine, Yao just fell, I helped him up.”
Dan Hanjie’s calm voice came after several seconds, along with Yao’s groaning from the side, as if that was really the case.
She must have been overthinking it.
It always felt like something had happened when he hadn’t shown up for the past few days.
But why would he help Yao? She really hadn’t noticed this considerate side of him.
Qin Youxuan stuck out her tongue.
It seems his merits had yet to be discovered.
“Are you busy? Then I won’t disturb you anymore, bye.” Before Dan Hanjie could speak, Qin Youxuan hung up.
Knowing that he would come tomorrow, her mood brightened. She turned over and lay down on the bed, counting the hours on her fingers.
She wished dawn would come in a second.
…
On the other end of the phone.
“Mr. Jie, your wound has opened up again, you shouldn’t get out of bed at this moment.” Yao stood in front of the hospital bed, his face pale, looking at Dan Hanjie who was insisting on walking a few steps, his eyes welling with anxiety.
“I’m not going to die.” Dan Hanjie handed his cellphone over and stood on the edge of the bed, leaning against the railing.
His enchanting face was covered in sweat, which trickled down his sharp contours. His lips were pale.
These past few days, he had been refraining from calling Qin Youxuan out of fear that she would notice something was wrong.
He didn’t expect her to call him.
Once he heard her aggrieved voice, Dan Hanjie’s immediate instinct was to get up from the bed and bring her back from the Qin Family.
Damn it!
Why on earth did he get injured at such a crucial time?
If it weren’t for Qin Youxuan deliberately avoiding Jin Chenye, they hardly saw each other even once a day, he would probably have gone mad and let Yao bring her back.
“How are the preparations going?”
“Everything is ready. Although the Qin Family has not expressed their stance, as long as the public opinion changes, coupled with the pressure from the Jiang Family, Jin Chenye will have to compromise, but…”
Yao paused.
“Mr. Jie, the doctor advised against any strenuous movement these next few days, to avoid re-opening your wound.”
“You’ve gotten more and more naggy.” Dan Hanjie shot him a sidelong glance, his face sullen.
