Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587: The Sudden Confession
It really is, whoever sins, pays the price.
Make someone cry, then end up hurting for it yourself.
“You don’t have to comfort me, I know you’re truly in pain.” Qin Youxuan sniffed, pitifully leaning against his chest.
“It really doesn’t hurt anymore.” Dan Hanjie pressed the back of her head, firmly pulling her against his chest.
“Listen to me, it’s all in the past. We’re both doing well now. As long as you’re willing, I’ll stay by your side from now on.”
Dan Hanjie hugged her trembling body tightly, his deep voice carrying a hint of persuasion.
“Once my foot heals, we’ll go on our honeymoon again. You’ve always wanted to go bungee jumping—I’ll go with you.”
“You love spicy food—we’ll eat every hot pot in Washington.”
“In summer, we’ll surf together. In winter, we’ll watch the snow together. When the snow piles high, we’ll build snowmen, and walk through the snowy fields until we grow old together…”
Dan Hanjie spoke slowly, so slowly it felt like he was pulling aside a grand curtain right before her eyes, gently unveiling their life story.
Qin Youxuan’s tense emotions gradually grew calm.
She looked at him expectantly, her bright cat-like eyes washed clean by tears, making them even more captivating.
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Dan Hanjie lowered his head and kissed her brows and eyes, tightening his embrace around her.
“From now on, I’ll always be by your side—I’ll never let go.”
“But your foot…”
Qin Youxuan’s cat-like eyes tightened, unsure how to bring it up.
She didn’t want to hide anything from Dan Hanjie, but feared he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
She didn’t care whether his foot healed or not—as long as he stayed by her side, that was enough.
But Dan Hanjie was such a proud man; she was terrified he might not accept it.
Her small hands clenched into fists. Pressures held in for too long had made her nerves overly sensitive and fragile.
“My foot’s fine. With you helping me in rehab, it’ll heal quickly.” Dan Hanjie’s gaze flickered as he stared intently at her.
He always spoke the truth, but when Qin Youxuan heard it, it somehow felt deeply unconvincing.
She had always felt like she was hiding the truth from Dan Hanjie, worried that if he someday realized he might end up as a cripple, he wouldn’t be able to accept it.
People who keep secrets inside are the ones who suffer the most.
“What’s wrong?” Dan Hanjie looked at her lowered head and reached out to rub her little crown of hair.
“Dan Hanjie.”
Qin Youxuan suddenly called his name, her voice a mix of hesitation and unease.
Her small hands were twisting his shirt, tangled in uncertainty before finally mumbling, “I won’t mind—I won’t mind what happens to you, no matter what. I’ll still love you.”
“…”
Dan Hanjie froze for a moment, his devilishly handsome face showing traces of stiffness.
Thinking he hadn’t heard her clearly, Qin Youxuan repeated herself, “I said—I love you. No matter what happens to you, I’ll still love you!”
“What did you say?”
A flicker of joy and fiery passion flashed in Dan Hanjie’s eyes.
He flipped her over and pinned her beneath him.
“No, your foot…”
Qin Youxuan didn’t finish her sentence before the words were sealed in her mouth.
Only after a while did Dan Hanjie lift his head, hugging her to steady his breathing.
He silently clenched his fist and punched the pillow beside him.
Having an injured foot that couldn’t hold its strength—it was infuriating!
Lying next to him, Qin Youxuan’s face was flushed, still recovering from the sudden change just moments ago.
She turned her head to glance at Dan Hanjie, catching sight of his frustrated expression. Unable to hold back, she let out a surprised snort of laughter.
“You’re laughing at me?”
Dan Hanjie’s deep black eyes darkened immediately, his imposing frame leaning in closer above her.
“I’m not! I was just worried about your foot. You need to rest properly—don’t move around recklessly anymore.”
