Chapter 2491: Chapter 2491: A Story of Losing and Regaining One’s Way (2)
"You rushed back just to steal my daughter?" Diwu Zexuan’s face turned dark as he spoke through gritted teeth. "Didn’t you hear what Youyou just said? If you want a daughter, have one yourself!"
Dan Hanjie stopped in his tracks, glanced at Youyou with cool indifference, and smirked, "Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? Youyou wants a brother or sister. Do you think it’s more appropriate for me to give her one, or is it your responsibility?"
"..."
Diwu Zexuan’s eyes dimmed.
Little Youyou was his dearly beloved. Having Youyou was enough for him; he didn’t need to take the risk of having another child.
Before Youyou was born, he hadn’t even thought about having children. This fact made Youyou always hold a grudge, which was why she couldn’t get close to him.
Every word she just uttered hit a sore spot in Diwu Zexuan’s heart, yet he felt powerless.
For the safety of her and her mother, he wouldn’t dare to gamble again.
Diwu Zexuan didn’t even risk looking at Youyou’s hopeful eyes; a fleeting light crossed his silver pupils as he forcefully took his little princess away from Dan Hanjie’s arms.
Youyou’s small body wriggled in discontent, sensing Diwu Zexuan’s low spirits. Her sparkling big eyes blinked, but she obediently stayed in his embrace.
"The people at the Yu family graveyard—were they deployed by you?" Dan Hanjie asked bluntly, hands in his pockets.
He stepped forward and leaned against the sports car’s hood.
His handsome silhouette exuded an inexplicable charm, drawing attention.
His thin lips lightly pressed together, his whole being radiated an air of arrogance, and his domineering presence made him seem like a king without needing to do much.
"You borrowed a few people, and you’re here blocking my way just for this?" Diwu Zexuan didn’t answer but questioned back, tightening his hold on Youyou slightly, wary of Hanjie trying to snatch his little princess again.
He couldn’t afford to be careless with someone who was so desperate for a daughter!
"You didn’t just borrow a few people; you borrowed them under the name of the Dan Family to escort Yu Xiuzhun. Since when did you become so close to him that you’d risk my resources for him? You call this a small matter?"
Dan Hanjie’s tall figure straightened slightly, raising an eyebrow.
Diwu Zexuan heard his questioning, his gaze faltered slightly, and he walked to the car, putting little Youyou back inside, "Wait in the car for a while, Daddy will take you to see your mom once I finish talking with Uncle Jie."
"Alright."
Little Youyou’s crafty big eyes scanned between the two men, nodding her small head, "Then don’t argue with Uncle Jie. You should let Uncle Jie win."
"..."
This little girl, always siding with outsiders before anything even starts—does he dare to argue with Dan Hanjie now?
Diwu Zexuan felt a pinch in his heart, but he held back his unease and agreed before closing the car door.
Turning around, he faced Dan Hanjie’s enchanting eyes and stepped forward.
"You were the one who wanted to save Yu Xiuzhun in the first place. Now that he’s awake, you just abandon him, hoping to watch him die again?"
"He won’t die. Given the current state of the Yu family, they can’t do anything to him. At the very least, it’s not yet to the point where the Dan Family needs to take the fall for him." Dan Hanjie spoke coldly, his gaze towards Diwu Zexuan tinged with displeasure.
"I need a reasonable explanation."
"I got soft-hearted. Is that reason enough?" Diwu Zexuan replied softly, his gaze shifting to the car where little Youyou sat.
Even though little Youyou pretended to dislike him, she was always obedient when needed.
When he told her to sit in the car and wait, her small body obediently leaned against the car window, watching the outside without fussing about wanting to get out.
