Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Acknowledging Whether You Like It or Not Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Acknowledging Whether You Like It or Not Dan Hanjie responded nonchalantly.
He didn’t even offer a cup of tea to be served by the butler and left Ito father and daughter hanging dry.
He stretched out his hand and circled Qin Youxuan’s waist, his palm pressing tight against her lower abdomen.
Qin Youxuan was almost two months pregnant. She was so thin that her belly didn’t show any signs of change yet, but Dan Hanjie still liked to touch her stomach to feel the presence of the baby.
Qin Youxuan pushed him a few times, but seeing that Dan Hanjie had no intention of letting go, she gave up.
When this man got stubborn, opposing him was simply asking for trouble.
“Father, let’s go. Mr. Jie clearly doesn’t want this child…” Chiyo Ito, seeing the displeasure on Ito Hiroki’s face, pitifully reached out and tugged at his clothes.
With her frail face bearing two lines of clear tears, she looked pitiful.
“This is his seed, he has to acknowledge it whether he wants to or not!” Ito Hiroki’s face was ashen.
“Mr. Ito, there’s no need to rush. If you’re so eager to have someone acknowledge this child, I might be able to lend a hand,” Dan Hanjie raised an eyebrow, lifted his head, and glanced at Chiyo Ito, enunciating each word.
“After all, it’s a seed of the Dan Family, so of course, we can’t let it be abandoned outside,” said Dan Hanjie with a smirk, turning to Yao beside him.
Yao immediately stepped forward, respectfully replying, “I’ve already notified the senior chairman and Mr. Dan Hanxi.”
“You’ve heard Mr. Ito, so please take a seat for a while longer. When my father comes, I’m sure he’ll give you a satisfactory answer.” Dan Hanjie flicked his finger slightly, and the butler immediately understood, turning to prepare the tea.
“What do you mean by this?” Ito Hiroki was completely confused by Dan Hanjie’s antics.
Upon hearing that Dan Rong and Dan Hanxi were coming, he twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth.
Next to him, Chiyo Ito started trembling as soon as she heard the name Dan Hanxi.
“Miss Ito looks scared, her face has turned pale with fright,” said Dan Hanjie as he picked up a cup of tea and gently stirred the steam with the lid, taking a sip.
His sharp black eyes seemed capable of seeing through Chiyo Ito’s inner fear, adding fuel to the fire at the right moment.
Chiyo Ito’s face had turned deathly pale, so much so that even Qin Youxuan couldn’t bear to look.
She reached out and tugged at Dan Hanjie’s sleeve.
He caught her hand with his, fingers interlocking.
Qin Youxuan couldn’t even pull away and glared at him, biting her teeth.
“Don’t look at me like that. There are guests here. If I can’t resist kissing you, it would make us the talk of the town,” Dan Hanjie murmured, his long finger caressing her face, lowering his voice.
His deep, enchanting voice was seductive.
Qin Youxuan’s face turned embarrassingly red. She lowered her head and turned away, not looking at him.
Not sure how Dan Hanjie had notified Dan Rong and Dan Hanxi, but they arrived very quickly.
Seeing Ito Hiroki and daughter sitting in the living room, Dan Rong’s old eyes flickered slightly, casting an ominous light.
“I’ve seen Mr. Dan.” Ito Hiroki quickly stood up from the sofa and respectfully extended his hand to Dan Rong.
“Miss Ito has seen Mr. Dan,” she said.
Amid the group of sycophants, Dan Hanxi seemed much more relaxed as he casually sat down on the sofa.
His warm gaze went straight to Qin Youxuan.
It seemed as if, in the entire villa, she was the only person he saw.
“You’ve lost weight again.”
“Thank you for your concern, but whether I’m fat or skinny is hardly your business,” Qin Youxuan glanced at him, retorting unapologetically.
“You’re still the same, your stubbornness is fascinating,” Dan Hanxi raised an eyebrow, unfazed by Qin Youxuan’s attitude.
He met Dan Hanjie’s cold gaze and elegantly crossed his legs.
