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

She pushed against Dan Hanjie’s tall and sturdy body, trying to break free from his grasp.

“Right now, reporters are swarming outside the Qin family residence. If you really want to go back, I’ll accompany you.” Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered slightly, his lips curling faintly into a smile. His voice was clear and resonating.

“…”

…

The Qin family mansion.

“Bang——”

Just as Jin Chenye approached the study door, a porcelain teacup was hurled with force, smacking against the doorframe with shards scattering in all directions.

Tea, mixed with tea leaves, splattered onto his trousers, creating a mess.

“Dad.”

“You dare to call me dad?! What did you promise me, and what is this now?!” Qin Mo grabbed the newspaper from the table and fiercely tossed it at Jin Chenye’s face.

Jin Chenye didn’t dodge nor hide, he stood erect, letting the thick newspaper land on his face.

Sharp edges of the paper cut his handsome face but he didn’t even furrow his brows.

“I didn’t do this.” Jin Chenye stood with hands folded, his gaze calm. On his gentle face, there was a hint of endurance.

He too had just received the news and hadn’t found the time to investigate.

“That’s a good excuse! I just told you to smoothly take over the company, protect your sister from worries for her life, and then this news comes out. If not you, then who?”

“Dad…”

“Don’t you dare call me dad, I don’t have a ruthless and ungrateful son like you!” Qin Mo clutched his chest, gasping for air.

“I knew that if I let you take over the Qin Group, the outside world would spread rumors and say that I’m biased towards my son and disregarding my daughter. But this is my debt to you and your mother, which I must repay…”

“Yet, even if Xuan isn’t your biological sister, you shouldn’t have leaked the information to the media, using her background to pave the way for yourself!”

“I didn’t.” Jin Chenye clenched his fists and frowned.

“If not, then what is this published in the newspaper?!” Qin Mo was infuriated, his face turning an unhealthy ashen color as the hand on his chest gripped tight onto his clothing.

“Dad, believe me, I didn’t do this. I’ve already asked someone to handle it as soon as possible, and to update you as soon as they find any information. But please believe me, I would never hurt Xuan. I absolutely wouldn’t.” Jin Chenye’s eyes flashed a certain determination as he solemnly promised.

“Your mother has never gotten over what happened years ago and has always held a grudge against Xuan. Xuan is the only obstacle in your takeover of the Qin Group. How do you expect me to believe you?”

“…”

Because I love her.

Jin Chenye narrowed his eyes but said nothing.

Everyone misunderstood. Even if he were to hurt anyone, he would never truly hurt Qin Youxuan.

“Bang——”

The door to the study was pushed open from the outside with force.

Qin Youxuan, dressed in a white long dress, her long hair loosely flowing and slightly messy from the wind. Her petite face, now completely pale.

She lifted her head incredulously, looking at the two people in the study.

Her body slightly trembling, biting her lip.

“Dad, am I… really not your daughter…”

“Xuan…”

Jin Chenye turned around and looked at Qin Youxuan, whose eyes were reddened. His tone unconsciously softened.

He reached out to grab her hand, but Qin Youxuan dodged it. She walked forward until she was directly in front of Qin Mo.

“Dad, tell me, is what the newspapers are saying true?”

“…”

“They are saying that my mother played around with countless men and that she didn’t even know who my biological father is. You tell me, my mother isn’t that kind of person…”
