Chapter 1595: Chapter 1595: Even If It Wasn’t Your Idea, You’re Still an Accomplice
Qin Youxuan bit her lip, thinking about how she had been worried and fearful for so long, and felt somewhat unwilling to let it go.
“I know, I know, everything you did was for me.” Dan Hanjie reached out to embrace her petite frame, his voice soft, “But at the time I also didn’t know. Diwu Zexuan only told me that as long as I persisted with rehabilitation, I could recover. I didn’t care whether my leg healed or not. As long as you were by my side, it was enough.”
“…”
Qin Youxuan’s eyes reddened. Hearing his words, the small grievance in her heart seemed to subside significantly.
“You truly didn’t know?”
“You all told me my leg would recover. Do you think I’d doubt it?” Dan Hanjie pinched her earlobe with his long fingers and teased with a smile.
“I was worried about you. Diwu Zexuan wanted to mess with me; he just wanted to see me feeling guilty! No wonder Rui Hui calls him The First Annoying Guy—he’s truly infuriating!” Qin Youxuan protested indignantly.
“Do you now believe it has nothing to do with me?” Dan Hanjie raised an eyebrow.
He affectionately stroked her delicate face, his eyes brimming with tenderness.
Let her hate Diwu Zexuan to the core—he didn’t mind. After all, friends existed to take blame at crucial moments. Besides, with how much Diwu Zexuan had taken from him, being scapegoated was a bargain.
“Even if it wasn’t your idea, you’re still complicit. With how off my reactions were, don’t tell me you didn’t notice. You were clearly helping Diwu Zexuan mislead me on purpose!”
Qin Youxuan wasn’t a fool, not someone easy to dupe.
Once she calmed down, she started noticing problems everywhere.
For instance, every time she mentioned Dan Hanjie’s leg injury, there was noticeable hesitation. Normally, Dan Hanjie would sense anything slightly unusual in her behavior, but this time he blatantly pretended not to notice.
Also, he kept saying his leg was weak but seemed completely unconcerned—obviously, he had known all along that it wasn’t a problem. Instead, he used this as an excuse to boss her around.
And there she was, foolish enough to be both fooled and fretting excessively over him.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt. Qin Youxuan pushed him away and shoved a pillow into his arms.
“If you want a hug, hug the pillow! Don’t touch me!” Qin Youxuan yelled, then turned away and lay down.
She pulled the quilt over herself, wrapping herself completely within it.
Though Dan Hanjie was rejected, he wasn’t upset. He leisurely took off his jacket, lay down beside her, and extended an arm to pull her and the blanket into his embrace.
Qin Youxuan was suffocating. Eventually, she poked her head out and glared at him fiercely.
Dan Hanjie, thick-skinned as ever, pretended not to understand. “Wife, don’t suffocate yourself, or I’ll be heartbroken.”
“…”
Qin Youxuan’s throat tightened. So furious she could hardly breathe, she was left utterly speechless.
“Mmph, mmph…”
Lying nearby, little Tingye awoke, mischievously rubbing his big eyes. His dark, round eyes stared fixedly at his hugging parents, his small arms reaching out toward them, obviously asking to be held.
“My good son, come here, Daddy will hug you.” Dan Hanjie stretched out an arm and scooped the little one up.
Upon hearing him call their child “my good son,” Qin Youxuan’s body involuntarily shuddered, almost enough to give her goosebumps.
“Are you hungry? Daddy will make milk for you.”
“Ru just fed him two hours ago. Just give him some water.” Qin Youxuan finally spoke, but it was solely for their son.
Dan Hanjie’s gaze flickered for a moment. Surprisingly, he didn’t get jealous and obediently went to pour water for the little one.
“Wife, it’s getting late. We should go home.” Dan Hanjie, one arm supporting their son, the other wrapping around Qin Youxuan’s waist, said gently, “We agreed, once you were discharged, you’d come home with me.”
