365-Day Trial Marriage With Hunk: Wife's A Little Wild - Chapter 358:
Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Jin Chenye, I’m Sorry
“You’ve never begged me for anything before. I didn’t expect that the first time you would, it would be such a cruel request.” Jin Chenye’s voice was so cold that it was almost emotionless.
He swept the dinner plates off of the table.
The dishes from the plate scattered all over the floor, the food spilling out.
This was something he had painstakingly prepared first thing in the morning for her, just like his own heart’s blood, all in vain.
“…”
Qin Youxuan, standing next to the table, had hot porridge splashed onto her calf. She merely furrowed her brows without even humming in pain.
She just lowered her gaze, not daring to look at him.
However, Jin Chenye, noticing the small red burn on her calf, regretfully ran a hand through his short hair, storming out with anger.
“I won’t agree, and never will!”
“…”
Qin Youxuan stood stunned for a few seconds before she turned to watch his retreating figure.
He walked out in such a rush with stumbling steps, almost tripping several times, yet he never stopped.
This was the most dejected she had ever seen him…
Jin Chenye, I’m sorry…
Qin Youxuan walked over to the side of the bed, reached to pick up her phone from the bedside table, and turned it on.
A quick glance at the unanswered calls, not a single one from Dan Hanjie.
Her heart suddenly felt empty.
She thought that he would be so domineering, that even if he didn’t come over at night, he would definitely keep calling and disturbing her, so she had turned her phone off to have some peace.
Unexpectedly, he hadn’t even called once, which made her feel like she was being too suspicious.
All of the calls were from Ning Yanan, probably terrified by the news from the outside world.
Qin Youxuan held her phone, hesitated for a long while, didn’t make any calls, in the end, she simply sent a text message to Ning Yanan, telling her she was okay.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Qin Youxuan began to daydream again.
These days, daydreaming seemed to be the only thing she could do.
In the past, when she stayed at home, she had never been this calm. Now that everything had been settled, she felt a strange sense of relief.
After sitting silently for a long time, Qin Youxuan finally got up to clean up the dishes on the floor.
Having brought the things to kitchen and was about to turn around, she bumped into Jin Chenye who was pushing Jin Lan out for a walk.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense…
The two of them maintained a short distance, neither of them spoke first.
Qin Youxuan handed the tray to the housekeeper. With her hands now free, she didn’t know what to do with them and began to fiddle with the hem of her skirt.
“Why, why, is she…”
Jin Lan had the most intense reaction, muttering desperately to say something, but her physical recovery from being vegetative for some time made her words stutter, and she ended up frustrating herself.
Fearfully, she shrank back into Jin Chenye’s arms, like a frightened child.
“Mom, it’s okay.”
Jin Chenye bent down, gently patting Jin Lan’s shoulder in an attempt to soothe her.
“I won’t disturb you any longer.”
For the first time, Qin Youxuan saw Jin Lan speak without sarcasm or hostility. She politely let them know, before turning to leave.
She hadn’t forgotten Jin Lan’s desire to kill her, but as long as she thought of herself occupying Jin Chenye’s rightful place for so many years, she couldn’t muster any resentment.
“Phew–”
With a long sigh of relief, Qin Youxuan began to pack her things.
Laying down the obsession she held for so many years, she felt surprisingly light.
She should start thinking more seriously about her own life ahead.
“Wherever I am is your home.”
“Qin Youxuan, remember this well, don’t forget your way home.”
As Dan Hanjie’s domineering voice seemed to echo in her ears, the corner of Qin Youxuan’s mouth unconsciously rose. She simply sat down on the floor and began slowly packing her suitcase.
