Chapter 1215: Chapter 1215: You’re Not Even Worthy of Carrying Her Shoes

“Miss Yu, this is not the place to zone out. My time is limited, so we can start discussing the collaboration now.”

Dan Hanjie lifted his gaze and glanced sidelong at the stunned Yu Yueman.

“Mr. Jie, this isn’t our first meeting. Must you be so distant with me? This collaboration involves significant investments from both our families for this year and is highly confidential. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for secretaries to take notes right now.”

Yu Yueman, holding a cup of water, walked forward.

As she neared Dan Hanjie, she stumbled, and the water in her hand spilled.

It splashed directly onto Dan Hanjie.

Yu Yueman feigned a look of surprise with her mouth agape.

“I’m so sorry, it wasn’t intentional…”

Yu Yueman had just reached with her handkerchief towards Dan Hanjie’s chest when he caught her wrist and flung her away.

His movement was so swift, as if he was afraid of being contaminated by something dirty, making Yu Yueman’s expression turn quite unsightly.

“I’ve already apologized. I just wanted to help you wipe it off. Must you treat me this way, Mr. Jie? As for what happened in the pub, I’m also innocent; I had no idea how I ended up in your arms…”

The things Yu Yueman was saying made the secretary still in the office shiver.

She felt she had overheard something she shouldn’t have.

Her steps unconsciously moved towards the door, discreetly acting deaf as she silently excused herself and left.

“It seems Miss Yu is not prepared to discuss the collaboration. When you’re ready, make an appointment with my assistant.”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes darkened, and he swept another sharp glance at Yu Yueman.

He stood up from the sofa and strode toward her, looking down on her with cold contempt from above.

With pronounced clarity, he said, “I detest hypocritical and pretentious women the most. If you had just admitted that in the pub it was you and Yu Xiuzhun who schemed against me, I might actually have respected you a bit.”

Dan Hanjie held her chin with his fingers, his eyes filled with disdain.

“Compared to my cat, you’re not even worthy of carrying her shoes. The same scent on you only makes me nauseous.”

“…”

The final words left Yu Yueman’s face deathly pale.

Her face burned as though she had been slapped several times.

When she looked up again, Dan Hanjie had already turned and left the office, vanishing from sight.

…

As soon as Dan Hanjie stepped out of the office, he immediately called Yao.

“Where is she?”

“Mr. Jie, the young mistress has returned to the villa from the shopping center; Miss Ning is accompanying her.”

“Ning Yanan?”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes flashed as he slightly relaxed his grip on the phone.

With Ning Yanan’s skills, Qin Youxuan should be safe by her side.

“Bring the car around.”

“Yes.”

…

When Dan Hanjie stepped into the villa, he saw Qin Youxuan standing in the yard, walking around the grass, instructing the butler to reconstruct the swing set that Diwu Zexuan had taken apart before.

“Move it a bit more to the left, and the position on the right could have a small coffee table. We could even sit here and drink tea at sunset.”

“There’s no need to hang anything else on the frame. We can plant some morning glory under the legs when the time comes.”

“That’s the color yes…”

Absorbed in arranging her beloved swing set, Qin Youxuan didn’t even notice when Dan Hanjie approached.

Her petite body was suddenly enveloped in an embrace, startling her nearly to the point of shouting.

Dan Hanjie scooped her up horizontally and, feeling her icy little hands, carried her towards the inside of the villa.

“My swing…”

“That’s a trivial matter. Just tell the butler, and he’ll arrange it for you. You don’t need to go out and catch a cold yourself.”
