Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Your Expression Seems Very Surprised
Standing by the bench, the sight of Qin Youxuan seated on it made him stop in his tracks.
A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes as if he was astonished to find someone sitting here away from the crowd.
A mischievous smile played at the corners of his mouth as he took a seat on the bench.
Noticing the addition of a stranger, particularly a strange man, to her side, Qin Youxuan furrowed her brow and instinctively tried to rise from the bench.
He spoke before she could react, “I’m Dan Hanxi. I have no ulterior motive. I just borrowed this place for some peace. If I disturbed you, the one who should leave is me.”
After saying this, he stood up from the chair and almost took a step forward to leave.
Hearing this name, Qin Youxuan suddenly understood the strange feeling she had when she first saw this man.
He shared a striking resemblance with Dan Hanjie.
“Are you Dan Hanjie’s cousin?” Qin Youxuan suddenly asked.
She’d never heard Dan Hanjie mention he had a brother. Considering it was a family gathering and that Dan Hanxi seemed younger, her instinct told her this man must be Dan Hanjie’s cousin.
At her words, Dan Hanxi tightened his eyes, turning back to scrutinize Qin Youxuan with a closer look.
Qin Youxuan was undoubtedly beautiful today. Her beauty was wild and lively, entirely different from the conventional beauty of a lady in society.
Such a complex and elusive allure could easily attract any man’s attention.
However, Dan Hanxi’s gaze made her uncomfortable.
His eyes were like those of a predator.
As Qin Youxuan turned to leave, he finally spoke, “I’m his direct younger brother.”
Dan Hanjie’s direct younger brother.
Qin Youxuan looked at the man in surprise.
“Your expression suggests you’re quite surprised. What, you think we aren’t alike?” Dan Hanxi raised his eyebrows, looking at the agitated Qin Youxuan with a taunting smile playing on his lips.
Qin Youxuan didn’t quite know what to say.
She had no idea that Dan Hanjie had a younger brother.
Unlike Dan Hanjie’s indifference, Dan Hanxi gave off a warm and amiable vibe.
Apart from a few facial features, these two brothers presented completely contrasting impressions.
However, the unfathomable depth present in Dan Hanxi’s eyes bore a striking semblance to Dan Rong.
“You haven’t told me your name yet. What’s your relationship with Dan Hanjie?” Dan Hanxi abruptly changed the topic and asked a question in return.
His hands comfortably resting in his pockets, he took a few steps forward.
His towering figure imposed an immense pressure on Qin Youxuan.
Qin Youxuan instinctively glanced in the direction of Dan Hanjie.
Noticing that he was caught up with a few seniors and had not been aware of her situation, she sighed in relief.
Following her gaze, Dan Hanxi too, took note of Dan Hanjie standing amidst the crowd. His eyes narrowed with a dangerous glint.
This one glance was enough for Qin Youxuan to sense some animosity, even possibly hatred, in the brothers’ relationship.
She quickly took a step back, maintaining her distance from Dan Hanxi, and watched him cautiously.
Just as she was about to leave, Dan Hanxi suddenly caught her wrist and tugged her closer.
Startled, Qin Youxuan struggled against his grip.
Kicking her foot out, the heel of her high-heel shoe – a woman’s most potent weapon – landed on his instep.
His mouth twitched, a vein bulged ever so slightly on his forehead, revealing his pain.
But his grip didn’t loosen.
Just as Qin Youxuan lifted her leg for a second attack, her waist was caught in a strong grip.
