Chapter 1611: Chapter 1611: Strike Hard, Irreconcilable Differences
“Mr. Yu, Ye Mingi is still a mber of the Ye Family. Aren’t you worried she might leak information?” The driver turned his head anxiously to remind him.
Yu Xiuzhun’s cunning eyes flickered as he curled his lips into a wry smile. “Do you think Jiang Jinchen couldn’t find out even if she doesn’t talk? I’m just testing her—how scared she is that others might discover our relationship.”
Yu Xiuzhun lazily shut his wicked eyes. “Drive.”
“Understood, Mr. Yu.”
…
Private villa.
The night was deep, shadows flickering outside the window.
A sudden ringtone shattered the silence.
Dan Hanjie quickly reached out to grab his phone, silenced it, and strode toward the floor-to-ceiling windows outside.
After finishing the call, he returned to the bedside with a grim expression.
Even though he moved carefully, Qin Youxuan was still startled awake. She blinked her sleepy eyes and looked at him.
“Who was calling this late?”
They had just returned to the private villa, and while the housekeeper had already tidied everything, it had been too long since Qin Youxuan stayed here. The change in sleeping environnt made her restless.
A phone call this late could only an trouble.
“It’s nothing. Go back to sleep. I need to handle sothing in the study.” Dan Hanjie walked up to her, leaned down, and planted a kiss on her forehead.
He affectionately tapped her small nose before turning to leave.
Qin Youxuan gave him a glance but said nothing.
As soon as he left the bedroom, she got out of bed, tiptoed to the nursery, and carried little Tingye back to their room, placing him on the large bed.
With her son beside her, the vast room felt less empty.
She turned off the lights and went back to sleep.
Ever since Dan Hanjie left, Qin Youxuan had been tossing and turning, unable to sleep peacefully.
She waited all night, but he never returned to the bedroom.
Instead, the little one beside her woke up hungry twice. Qin Youxuan fed him and watched him drift back to sleep again.
When morning broke, Qin Youxuan climbed out of bed with dark circles under her eyes.
She stepped out of the room and went straight downstairs.
“Young Madam, you’re awake. Breakfast is ready. Would you like to dine now?” the butler greeted her respectfully.
No one had expected Dan Hanjie to bring Qin Youxuan back so quickly.
With the Young Madam’s presence, the villa felt harmonious and warm again, no longer as cold and lifeless as it was before.
“Where’s Dan Hanjie? Did he go out?” Qin Youxuan scanned the living room but didn’t see any sign of him, so she asked with a hint of confusion.
“Mr. Jie is in the study and hasn’t co down at all.”
“Still in the study…”
Qin Youxuan’s cat-like eyes flickered as she darted upstairs.
When she arrived at the study door, she heard the sound of n’s voices coming from inside.
It seed like a video call.
Qin Youxuan’s steps froze instantly. She moved carefully, inching closer to the door to eavesdrop.
“This ti, they found an entire box of pure goods. Not only was the implicated club shut down, but even the chain’s branch stores have been forced to suspend operations for a thorough investigation. Do you even understand how much I want to flay Yu Xiuzhun alive right now?!” Jiang Jinchen’s furious voice bood, clear even through the door.
The venom in his tone as he gritted his teeth was palpable.
Dan Hanjie leaned back in the chair, exuding a deep and brooding aura.
His slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk as his thin lips parted slightly.
“This ti, his move was bold, knowing you’d be tied up at this mont. Besides, with chain establishnts like Zhi Shang, any issue with one branch drags down the rest. At least he respects your status enough to go for a direct bust. With the Jiang Family’s extensive network, he made sure you wouldn’t even have the slightest chance to cover it up.”
