Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Exclusive Label
Her skirt twirled lightly, obscuring her well-proportioned calves, shrouding half of her face as if cradling a pipa, adding a touch of mystery…
A pair of irrepressible cat eyes, brimming with an untamable wildness.
She needed no proud lineage – such was Qin Youxuan, enough to make men fawn over her.
Dan Hanjie’s eyes sparkled slightly as he gracefully alight the car, extending his arm towards her.
Qin Youxuan was not one to shrink from a challenge – she took a deep breath and reached out to clasp his arm.
Only after entering the venue did Qin Youxuan realize that they were late.
Subconsciously glancing at the man beside her, she saw Dan Hanjie behaving nonchalantly, seemingly unconcerned about his tardiness.
Wineglasses clinked amidst overlapping shadows – a scene of sheer extravagance.
Almost the moment they set foot in the venue, the striking appearance of the pair drew countless eyes.
Dan Hanjie’s bewitching charm was no secret within the Dan Family.
His black suit defined the term noble to perfection.
Clasping the unfamiliar face of Qin Youxuan, they were the perfect combination of beauty and allure.
For a moment, the banquet was abuzz with excitement.
Everyone’s attention was on Qin Youxuan.
There were debates about what distinguished family she came from and speculations about their relationship…
Dan Hanjie disregarded these, his gaze fell on Dan Yi holding a glass of red wine not far away. His lips curled upwards, leading Qin Youxuan through the crowd, heading straight to Dan Yi.
Along the way, the men at the banquet were all fixed on Qin Youxuan’s pretty face.
Their blatant gazes seemed to wish they could see right through her.
Qin Youxuan frowned uncomfortably, only to found that Dan Hanjie’s grip on her hand had tightened. Gritting his teeth, he said, “I should have had you come wrapped in burlap.”
Qin Youxuan was stunned for a moment before she poked his palm, and then she aimed a glance at a group of women gazing at him. “I feel the urge to label you as mine right now. If not, I fear I might not be able to resist and resort to violence.”
As her words fell, Dan Hanjie suddenly stopped.
He turned and looked at her in an indescribable way that caused Qin Youxuan’s scalp to tingle.
Just as she was about to step back, Dan Hanjie reached out, wrapping his arm around her waist. Pulling her into his arms, his lips found hers.
Qin Youxuan clearly heard the gasps around them. She herself couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.
Staring at the handsome face close before her, she completely forgot how to react.
Matching his challenging gaze, her defiant spirit instantly went to her head.
Qin Youxuan has forgotten about the Dan Family’s banquet and her slender arm curled over his shoulder.
In contrast to their engagement, the surrounding audience was dumbfounded.
Dan Yi’s face turned as dark as a pot bottom, while Dan Rong seemed rather calm. Yet his dark gaze betrayed an unfathomable depth.
Only after a long while did Dan Hanjie slowly let her go.
His long finger traced over Qin Youxuan’s swollen lips. With a wicked grin, he said, “Now, you have any label you need.”
Qin Youxuan stiffened, her consciousness rapidly returning.
She didn’t even have the courage to look up at the surrounding gazes. Keeping her face stiff, she pretended to stay calm and followed Dan Hanjie’s steps.
In her mind, a group of grass-mud horses were sprinting over her head…
Was she played by Master again?
When Dan Hanjie walked up to Dan Yi with Qin Youxuan, aside from the elegant symphony accompaniment, the venue quietened down, no one was speaking.
All eyes were on them.
