"Qin Youxuan, drop your little scheme. Have you learned to advance by retreating? If I really stop you from going, would you be content?" Dan Hanjie articulates through clenched teeth.
He straightens her face with his big hand and gazes at the red mark on it. His charming eyes narrow, radiating a dangerous glint.
"It really doesn't hurt anymore."
Qin Youxuan carefully moves his hand away, catching the pain in his eyes, her heart softens instantly.
She nestles her petite body into his arms.
"Dan Hanjie, I am serious. I've been too simplistic in my thinking. Anyone wanting to harm you will not easily let me go. If I am out there, it's giving others an opportunity. I don't want to worry you."
Qin Youxuan wraps her arms around his waist and rests her head on his chest.
Listening to his strong heartbeat, it feels as if sacrificing anything for him would be worthwhile.
