Chapter 1586: Chapter 1586: Competing for Favor and Jealousy
"Sons are their mother’s lovers from a past life. I’m busy taking care of my little lover, so you go play by yourself." Qin Youxuan moved his hand away, carefully coaxing the little one in her arms.
Dan Hanjie was immediately cast aside by the mother and son duo—utterly frustrated.
Within seconds, he clung to Qin Youxuan again.
"I want a little lover too," Dan Hanjie muttered gloomily, reaching out to wrap his arm around Qin Youxuan’s waist.
"..."
Qin Youxuan turned to look at him, slightly surprised.
He had said before that he’d never make her have another baby.
And given their current situation, it wasn’t appropriate either...
Qin Youxuan lowered her gaze, her eyes dimmed with sadness.
Some things, she had been working very hard to force herself not to think about.
But not thinking about them didn’t mean they didn’t exist, or that she didn’t mind.
She still hadn’t let go of Ye Zhanxing’s death; she just knew what mattered most at the moment.
"If you keep ignoring me, I’ll go find myself a little lover to raise, and we’ll see if you dare to keep being so arrogant!" Dan Hanjie’s large hand rubbed at her waist; with one squeeze, Qin Youxuan couldn’t help but gasp.
She quickly slid off the bed, placing the little one in her arms into the crib, afraid that Dan Hanjie might get up to something.
"Come here."
Dan Hanjie stretched out a hand toward her, his enchanting eyes glimmering faintly with an intense light.
"No way, go find your little lover!"
Qin Youxuan huffed stubbornly, turning her face away and walking over to sit on the sofa, crossing her arms and glaring at him.
She was prepared to leave him hanging, but then saw Dan Hanjie’s expression change as he reached down to press on his injured leg.
He didn’t cry out, but his brows furrowed tightly.
Qin Youxuan grew instantly nervous, hastily stood up, and walked over to him.
"What’s wrong? Is your leg uncomfortable? Let me go find Diwu Zexuan..." Qin Youxuan turned to leave and call someone.
She had only taken a step when her arm was grabbed by Dan Hanjie.
"I’m fine."
"..."
"It just hurt for a moment; it’s no big deal." Dan Hanjie said this as he pulled her into his arms.
At a time like this, he certainly couldn’t admit he was faking.
Being the center of her concern—it was a feeling he thoroughly enjoyed.
"Are you really okay?" Qin Youxuan hadn’t noticed the glimmer in his eyes; all her attention was on his leg.
Overwhelmed with worry, Qin Youxuan had completely lost her composure.
"Yeah, probably from sitting too long—my leg’s just a little numb. I’ll feel better lying down." Dan Hanjie finished speaking but still didn’t let go of Qin Youxuan’s hand. "Stay with me, or I won’t be able to sleep."
"Alright."
This time, Qin Youxuan didn’t hesitate to agree.
She swiftly turned over and lay beside him, immediately reaching out to hug his waist.
The petite figure curled up in his arms like a child seeking security.
Noticing she was trembling, Dan Hanjie stiffened, lowered his gaze, and grabbed her shoulders, gently pushing her away.
When he caught sight of her reddened eyes, he froze instantly.
"Youxuan..."
"I’m scared." Qin Youxuan suddenly plunged into his arms, burying her delicate little face against his chest, her hands gripping his collar tightly.
Every time she saw Dan Hanjie’s injured leg, she couldn’t help but remember the day of the car accident.
In that moment, she had truly believed Dan Hanjie would die.
Every time she thought back to it, it felt as if someone was choking the air out of her.
These days, she had stayed by his side without leaving for even a second, forcing herself to calm down.
"I’m fine. My leg’s perfectly healed—no pain at all. Earlier, I was just trying to fool you." Dan Hanjie saw her tears and wanted to slap himself.
Knowing how deeply she worried about his leg, he couldn’t believe he’d use such a thing to joke around.
