Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543: I Said I Didn’t Beat Him, He’s Pretending!
“Shh—”
“Stop laughing, or even Mommy won’t be able to save you in a bit.” Qin Youxuan pressed her finger against the little one’s mouth.
She perked up her ears and listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom, which had been going on for at least half an hour without stopping. Thinking of the terrifying scene from earlier, she shuddered involuntarily.
A body covered in poop and pee—this was enough to drive Dan Hanjie, the cleanliness-obsessed maniac, over the edge.
The little rascal on the bed seemed totally oblivious to the mischief he’d caused. Instead, he was cheerfully babbling, laughing like a miniature Buddha.
There was a sly gleam in his eyes that was far too clever for a baby just a few months old.
Pouting his tiny lips, he wrapped them around Qin Youxuan’s finger.
“Did you get hungry after making a stink bomb?”
Qin Youxuan picked him up, pulled up her shirt, and began breastfeeding her son.
Dan Hanjie walked out of the bathroom with a dark expression, his face filled with disgust, and was greeted by this scene.
The already stormy look on his face instantly turned as black as soot.
“Mm… mm…”
The little guy seemed completely indifferent to the murderous aura emanating from Dan Hanjie. His tiny arms stretched persistently in Dan Hanjie’s direction, wanting his daddy to hold him.
His round, sparkling eyes blinked innocently.
“He seems hungry again, I’ll go make him some formula.” Qin Youxuan got up from the bed, intending to have Dan Hanjie hold the baby for a while but hesitated.
“I won’t eat him.”
Dan Hanjie stepped forward and effortlessly grabbed the little rascal from her arms.
He could smell the unique milky scent of a baby, but to him, it mixed with the stench of poop and pee, leaving his face looking utterly foul.
Seeing Qin Youxuan glance back at him every few steps as she left, her expression full of worry that he might beat the kid, Dan Hanjie simply tossed the baby onto the bed and let him entertain himself.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was painstakingly chasing after his fleeing wife and didn’t want to ruin the progress made so far, he might truly have spanked the little rascal.
Just as Qin Youxuan turned away to prepare the formula, the little rascal on the bed grew restless.
The baby’s tiny limbs started squirming towards Dan Hanjie’s side.
His little mouth smacked repeatedly, making persistent “mm mm” noises, clearly craving his daddy’s embrace.
Dan Hanjie frowned, staring at him for quite a while before finally extending his hand. But before he could even touch the baby’s rear, Qin Youxuan turned around with the prepared formula.
Simultaneously, a heart-wrenching wail erupted.
“Waaah—”
“…”
Dan Hanjie’s arms froze in place, his hand just a few centimeters away from Tingye’s bottom. He looked at the crying rascal in shock, who appeared as though he’d been beaten, the corners of his bewitching eyes narrowing dangerously.
When he turned to Qin Youxuan, sure enough, her face was already darkened.
“I didn’t hit him!”
Even though Dan Hanjie knew she wouldn’t believe him, he still tried to explain.
Not only didn’t Qin Youxuan believe him—he didn’t believe himself either.
Had he really been set up by a baby barely three months old?
Dan Hanjie squinted his wicked eyes, looking directly at the gleam of mischief flashing in the baby’s gaze, which seemed to be mocking his stupidity.
“Tingye never cries and wouldn’t start without a reason. Even if you didn’t hit him, it’s because he doesn’t want to see you. If there’s nothing else, you can leave. The Ye Family doesn’t welcome you.” Qin Youxuan gently consoled her sniffing baby, looking at his teary eyes, her heart aching terribly.
“Qin Youxuan, I said I didn’t hit him—he’s faking it!”
Dan Hanjie fixed his gaze on the baby, who had turned sunny and cheerful the moment he latched onto the bottle of milk. His expression grew darker by the second.
“I’m asking you to leave, and it has nothing to do with the baby.” Qin Youxuan bit her lip and spoke softly.
“I don’t have any clothes.”
Dan Hanjie flopped onto the bed, adopting a shameless attitude.
“…”
“I’ve already called Yao. He’s busy at the moment, and it’ll take at least an hour for him to bring me some clothes. I’m going to sleep for a bit.”
