Startled, Qin Youxuan looked up at his arrogant face, casually opened the bathroom door, and walked out confidently, wrapped in a towel.
She glanced over and saw nobody in the room.
Her petite figure moved towards the wardrobe. As she opened the door, she found it filled with women’s clothes, which brought a smile of satisfaction to her pretty face.
Choosing a comfortable nightgown, she went back into the bathroom.
Without giving Dan Hanjie a glance, she slammed the door shut.
“She’s getting smarter,” Dan Hanjie leaned against the door, his amusement becoming more apparent although he took the brunt of the door.
“Why aren’t you changing your clothes yet? Are you waiting for me to help you? I told you, I’m not in a good mood today to serve you, sir…”
“Knock knock knock–” The room door suddenly sounded.
“Mr. Jie, it’s time to depart,” Yao’s voice came from behind the door, steady and cool as always.
“Depart? Where are you going?” Qin Youxuan froze, surprise flashing through her cat-like eyes.
She thought the negotiation was over, so why did he have to go out late at night?
“There are some small matters to attend to. It’s very safe here; just wait for me at home,” Dan Hanjie lightly teased her by rubbing her small nose.
Qin Youxuan stiffened for a moment.
Her mood dipped as she heard about his departure.
“I don’t care where you go. Better to never see you again. No farewell!” With a blink of her cat-like eyes, the petite Qin Youxuan flopped on the bed, pulled the quilt over herself, and completely covered herself up.
After a while, she didn’t hear any response from Dan Hanjie, but the sound of footsteps indicated his departure.
She abruptly pulled at the quilt, gazing at the closed door for a long while, lying flat and staring at the ceiling without any reaction.
Dan Hanjie disappeared for several nights in a row.
Only a group of bodyguards remained to keep Qin Youxuan safe.
Today was even stranger, he was gone since the daytime.
“Miss Qin, Mr. Jie instructed that this place is not like home, so it’s better for you not to go out,” a bodyguard said respectfully to Qin Youxuan, who was making her way to the door.
“Can’t I even go out to see the night view?” Qin Youxuan was dressed in a white gown, her rarely tied up long hair swept into a ponytail, looking very clean and refreshing.
Her beautiful face in the night light was even more captivating.
“This…” The bodyguard looked at her with difficulty.
“Forget it, I can see the same from upstairs.” Seeing the bodyguard’s difficulty, Qin Youxuan waved her hand and turned back.
She ascended the stairs but no longer felt like watching the night view.
Digging her phone out of her bag and flopping onto the bed, she called Ning Yanan.
“What’s wrong? You sound so desolate like a woman scorned.” The crisp and straight-to-the-point voice of Ning Yanan was as sharp as always.
“You are the scorned woman! Can’t you stop nagging me?”
“Okay, okay! I was about to call you anyway. You saved me the long-distance charges with this call.”
Can we still be friends happily?
“Jin Lan has been found.”
“What did you say?” Qin Youxuan’s hand gripping the phone tightened.
For the past few days, the moment Dan Hanjie left, she would phone Ning Yanan for updates on the situation back home.
She knew that Jin Lan was indeed kidnapped, but there had been no news.
Due to the extensive media coverage and public opinion, the police had devoted a lot of manpower to the case, but the victim has yet to be found.
Luckily, the case of Jin Lan didn’t strongly affect the stock value of the Qin Group.
