Chapter 675: Chapter 675: I Was Also Surprised
“You remind me, we should find a shop nearby to get an ice pack for my face.” Qin Youxuan reached out and touched her own face.
She had just been slapped in the face by Dan Hanxi, and although her cheek wasn’t terribly swollen, it was still sore to the touch.
Moreover, a handprint must have been left. If she returned , Dan Hanjie would surely be mad at her.
Seeing Yao looking stunned, Qin Youxuan remembered that she had killed a man and quickly summarized what had happened.
“Please wait, Miss. I’ll have someone handle this right away.”
Yao quickly opened the car door, exited the car, made several phone calls, then walked to a nearby convenience store, bought a few ice pops, and came back.
“They didn’t have ice packs. Please use these ice pops instead, Miss. Let’s head back now.”
Qin Youxuan took the ice pops, placed them in a bag, and lightly pressed it against her face, grimacing in pain. “Don’t tell Hanjie yet. I’m fine. If there’s anything, we’ll wait until he returns. I don’t want to disrupt his work.”
Yao’s eyes flickered as he nodded respectfully.
Such a thrilling incident had occurred on the first day back to school, and Qin Youxuan was restless all day.
She kept switching channels, watching the latest news reports.
Wanting to see if the shooting at GW campus had been reported.
But she waited all day and didn’t see any related reports. Instead, she was greeted by the furious Dan Hanjie.
“You’re back. I was waiting for you for dinner. Do you want to take a shower first?” Qin Youxuan turned off the television, stood up from the living room sofa, and watched the man who just walked in from outside.
Dan Hanjie stepped into the living room with a stern face, immediately undid his tie, hurled it onto the floor, and strode towards her.
His towering figure stood before her, his intense gaze making Qin Youxuan swallow uneasily.
Feeling guilty, she spoke up, “Uh, do you know everything already?”
“What do you think? Now even Yao is suppressing news for you. Qin Youxuan, I clearly underestimated you!” Dan Hanjie clenched his hand around her chin. Upon hearing her sharp intake of breath, he noticed the unusual red mark on her cheek.
Upon closer inspection, it was only on one side of her face.
“What happened to your face?” Dan Hanjie’s body stiffened. The next moment, he turned and roared at the butler, “Call the doctor now, what are you standing there for!”
“I’m fine, I’ve already seen the doctor. And I have some anti-swelling ointment…” Qin Youxuan felt his terrifying gaze on her. The quieter she spoke, the more she wanted to shrink into the couch.
“I didn’t know Dan Hanxi was my senior. When Professor Hubble suddenly introduced me to him today, I was also shocked…” As Qin Youxuan spoke, she felt the pressure around her dropping rapidly, her tongue tied in anxiety.
“Was the injury on your face caused by him?” Dan Hanjie’s voice was cold and calm.
Yet somehow, Qin Youxuan detected a murderous intent, and she clung to his waist in fear.
“Hanjie, I’m okay, truly. I also slapped him back so we’re even. Besides, he was shot. Compared to that, my injury is nothing…”
Remembering the scene at that time, Qin Youxuan felt as if she was still dreaming.
She forced the raging Hanjie to sit on the couch and recounted everything that had happened, without leaving a single detail out.
“If you don’t want me to continue going back to school, I will listen to you…”
In the end, Qin Youxuan looked at him nervously, bit her lip, and forced out a sentence.
Her eyes filled with anxiety, she gazed steadily at him.
