Chapter 806: Chapter 806 I Don’t Believe a Single Word Chapter 806: Chapter 806 I Don’t Believe a Single Word “Being with Dan Hanjie and still afraid of becoming the center of attention, isn’t it a bit too late for that?” Dan Hanxi propped his arms on the table, watching Qin Youxuan who turned her face away to avoid the camera.
“You’re like a bad penny, you know that? Does your dad know about this?” Qin Youxuan raised her head, looked at him with disdain, and pointed to the seat beneath him, “Sorry, that’s my husband’s seat. Please move.”
“In such a hurry to get rid of me, what are you afraid of? That Dan Hanjie will find out about our relationship behind the scenes?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, we don’t have any sort of relationship at all,” Qin Youxuan leaned back in her chair and looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Her hands were crossed over her chest, projecting an air of detachment.
But a flicker of panic crossed her eyes.
She feared being alone with Dan Hanxi, always feeling that nothing good came of his appearances.
The first time, he threatened to assault her, and if it hadn’t been a chance encounter that saved her, who knows what the outcome would have been.
The second time, he sought her out just to tell her that she and Dan Hanjie were siblings, to see her go insane.
And now, he was here again…
“Yes, we have no relationship. You and Dan Hanjie, on the other hand, treat every meeting like official business, even bringing you here,” Dan Hanxi said mockingly.
A pair of gentle eyes shown with an unusual light.
“I’m not interested in hearing your nonsense.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that seats had to be reserved in advance, she would have loved to just walk away.
“This is the Fox Gourmet Exhibition, a project under the Dan Group, don’t you know?” Dan Hanxi pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“Then you probably also don’t know that this is exactly the project Dan Hanjie is in charge of, and it’s crucial for him, as an assessment before taking over the East Asia cooperation project. I didn’t want to meddle, but I can’t bear to see you being used, blissfully unaware.”
Qin Youxuan’s cat-like eyes narrowed as she glanced at him.
“No matter what the project, as long as there is extensive media promotion, it’s twice as effective, don’t you think? Imagine how much media attention the mysterious young madam of the Dan Family attending the Fox Gourmet Exhibition would attract,” he elaborated.
Qin Youxuan’s breathing tightened, her hand unconsciously clutching the napkin.
“And that’s not all. At the Ye Family auction, you were already part of someone else’s scheme. That necklace was just a decoy. Dan Hanjie, to hide his ambitions, left you alone there to divert attention, while he slipped away and had a batch of goods at the harbor blown up. Oh, and that’s not all. To win over Ye Zhanxing, he even used you to gift the Ye Family three billion. What a perfect plan, even I can’t help but applaud,” said Dan Hanxi, staring at Qin Youxuan’s pale face with a smirk full of sarcasm.
Word by word, “I heard you fainted afterwards. Tell me, if something had really happened to you, would he feel a shred of guilt?”
Qin Youxuan’s hand moved to her stomach.
At the banquet that evening, it was the child in her belly that had nearly been in danger.
“I don’t believe a word you’re saying.”
“The Ye Family charity banquet and the harbor explosion case were sensational news. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen the reports in the news these past few days. This necklace around your neck is now hyped by the media as the piece of jewelry every woman wants to own, and you’re wearing it today to the Gourmet Exhibition—which just happens to be great for catching the media’s eye.”
Qin Youxuan’s body shook, a trace of astonishment flashing through her eyes.
