Bab 139: Chapter 139: How did she get so lucky?

Dan Hanjie didn't say a word, but just pulled her into his embrace with a firm grip on his arm.

Qin Youxuan was startled, her body stiffened for a moment. She fidgeted uncomfortably, pulling at her wound, and gasped in pain.

"Don't move!" Dan Hanjie reminded her quietly. His arms around her loosened slightly, adjusting their positions so that she could rest comfortably against him.

"Usually you're so fearless, have you finally learned to be scared?"

"..."

Qin Youxuan pursed her lips, unsure if she was genuinely frightened or if his embrace was just too warm; unexpectedly, she no longer had the energy to struggle.

She snuggled up against his chest and wriggled closer, boldly leaning on his shoulder.

"Do you know who's behind this?"

After a while, when he sensed that she had finally calmed down, Dan Hanjie finally spoke.

"..." Qin Youxuan pressed her lips together and did not speak, simply shaking her head faintly.
