2 Chapter 2: Sudden Marriage News

A forceful strength drew her directly into a warm chest.

The man lowered his head, accurately capturing her lips.

...

The bright sunlight penetrated the earth, specks of light danced on the windowsill.

The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.

The wind blew open the curtain, Qin Youxuan felt a chill, tugged at the blanket on her body, and as soon as she moved, an unfamiliar ache struck her, causing her to freeze for a moment.

She abruptly sat up, glanced at the luxurious room, and squinted her beautiful eyes because of the discomfort from the hangover.

How did she end up here?

Flashes of last night passed through her mind, and her expression instantly turned frantic.

The next second, she threw off the blankets, picked up her clothes from the floor, and hurriedly put them back on.

She brushed her hair back, revealing a slightly pale face.

Just getting to her feet, before she had a chance to react, the sound of water from the bathroom suddenly stopped.

Without thinking, Qin Youxuan grabbed her bag off the floor and sprinted out of the room.

The bathroom door suddenly swung open, revealing a tall figure.

"Ran away?"

The man's deep voice had a magnetic quality. He glanced at the woman disappearing out the door, lazily leaning against the bathroom door with narrowed eyes.

In the dim light, his perfect features glowed with the luster of ivory porcelain.

His long, curled eyelashes held a magnetic appeal when half-closed. With a tall, straight nose and seductive thin lips, a hint of a smile was always present at the corners of his mouth, giving off a devilishly alluring aura...

"Mr. Jie."

In the darkness, a figure approached the sofa like a ghost, "Are you alright?"

"What do you think?"

Dan Hanjie raised an eyebrow lazily, strolled over to the sofa, elegantly sat down, crossed his long legs and exuded an air of arrogance.

Sparks flickered, thin smoke wafted from his lips, swirling around his devilishly handsome face, making it impossible to read his thoughts.

He slowly lifted his enchanting gaze to the curtain of his bed where a deep red stain lingered, the corner of his wicked lips curving in a smirk, crushed out the cigarette on the table.

"I want to know who she is!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

"Hmph!"

As Qin Youxuan stepped into the living room of the Qin Mansion, she caught sight of the non-stop news flashing on the TV screen. She coldly curled her lips, a scornful look filled her eyes.

A kind father...

As early as the year her mother died, she knew there was no place for her in this home.

The day had finally come.
