365-Day Trial Marriage With Hunk: Wife's A Little Wild

A little old man, nearly sixty, had guided Qin Youxuan through many of her assignments while she was in America.

He held great admiration for Qin Youxuan’s defiant attitude and flamboyant character.

But when Qin Youxuan had hurriedly returned to China and taken a leave of absence, no one had been informed. She just left.

She thought no one would remember her.

But she didn’t expect to suddenly receive a call from her advisor.

“I’m glad you’ve got a heart and recognized my voice. It took a lot of effort for me to find your phone number,” Professor Hubble sounded delighted, jesting from the other end of the line.

Qin Youxuan was flustered for a moment before she voiced her doubts.

“Professor Hubble, I’m on leave of absence. Why would you want to find me?”

“Well, I have an international human rights law amendment project at hand. I remember you were quite interested in it previously. If you’re still interested, you might want to consider returning to school to finish your studies and continue the research under me. Given your capabilities, I have faith that you’d shine in the field of law with time.” Professor Hubble highly praised Qin Youxuan, his words filled with compliments for his favorite student.

Qin Youxuan possessed an independent character and was highly committed to her work. She was also willing to work hard in her studies.

Once, law was her favorite subject, with the goal of becoming an excellent lawyer.

But ever since she met Dan Hanjie, in him, she only saw the powerlessness of the law…

And then there was the murder case.

She had gone from being a victim to being a murderer…

Qin Youxuan’s faith and belief were beginning to shift.

She didn’t know if she could still believe in justice, in the fairness and impartiality of the law as she used to.

“Xuan, I heard you took a leave of absence because of a family emergency. It has been quite some time now, you should consider returning to school to complete your studies. The topic this time is a legal highlight presented by the U.S. Congress and it has attracted much attention. This is a rare opportunity for you to practice, I hope you will give it a good consideration,” Professor Hubble’s tone became thought-provoking.

He saw an unparalleled courage in this little oriental girl and believed that as long as she was willing to work hard, she would inevitably rise to become a new star in the field of law.

“…Thank you, Professor Hubble. I’m afraid I can’t leave right now though,” Qin Youxuan bit her lip, yearning, yet unable to act.

“Three months, can you do it in three months? The project has to start within three months at the latest. I can only delay the final list of members until then. Let me know once you’ve made up your mind.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan hung up the phone, looking down at the slippers on her feet.

Her eyes were dimming.

Three months, it was impossible.

It would take her a year to be free.

Qin Youxuan shook her head, put the phone back in her pocket, and headed towards the villa.

She didn’t know if Dan Hanjie had cooled down from their earlier argument.

…

In the bedroom.

Dan Hanjie’s hand, holding the broken glass, hadn’t let go. The blood on the table had spread, dripping from the edges onto the ground, blooming into drops of blood.

His enchanting face was tight, drained of blood.

His dark eyes were dull and cold, not moving for a long time, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

After a long while, he turned away, heading out of the room.

The palm of his hand, cut by the glass, dripped a trail of blood with each step he took, extending all the way to outside the door.

Suddenly, a gasp sounded in his ear. Dan Hanjie slowly raised his head, meeting Bai Wei’s shocked gaze.

“Jie, your hand…”
