Chapter 2537: Chapter 2537: Two Men Secretly Competing
"Um, once you wake up, everyone will be with you."
Tingye steadily carried the insecure Meimei and walked towards the room.
-
In the living room, a heavy atmosphere spread quietly.
Dan Hanjie pulled the unwilling Qin Youxuan to sit on the sofa, his long legs casually crossed, one hand clasping hers tightly, the other slightly supporting his head, glancing at Galo Karl who stepped into the private villa.
Qin Youxuan instinctively tried to stand when she recognized the person in front of her, but her hand was firmly held by Dan Hanjie, rendering her immobile. She looked at him questioningly.
"If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move." Dan Hanjie’s thin lips moved, silently uttering a few words.
"..."
Qin Youxuan swallowed, unable to guess his intentions, and obediently sat back down.
"Sis, where’s Meimei?"
Just as Galo carried Youyou into the living room, Ye Mingmei followed in with Mr. Bai, looked around, and nervously asked, not seeing Meimei.
"Meimei is fine. She’s already gone to sleep in the room with Tingye. If you’re worried, you can go in and check." Qin Youxuan comforted softly.
Seeing Mr. Bai preparing to enter the room with her, she stretched out her arm to stop him.
"Mr. Bai, I appreciate your help today, but it’s rather late and Mingmei’s room might not be appropriate for you to enter now."
"..."
Mr. Bai’s gaze tightened, watching Qin Youxuan’s guarded expression, he slightly clenched his hand beside him.
He glanced at the ambitious Galo and the Youyou still in Galo’s arms, holding back, prioritizing the big picture first.
He watched as Ye Mingmei disappeared at the staircase, his powerful body returned to the sofa.
"Where’s Rui Hui?" Diwu Zexuan stepped forward, glanced at the absent Rui Hui, and frowned.
"She’s worried Galo Karl might play dirty tricks behind the scenes, putting Youyou at risk, so she’s gone to the Adolf family’s contact point to gather personnel."
Qin Youxuan lowered her voice, using a tone only audible to the two of them to remind.
In dealing with an unfamiliar enemy like Galo Karl, all they could do was prepare an extra step, just in case!
Invoking another faction’s influence would make Galo more cautious, as a prince, even at his height, is still just a prince; before ascending the throne, everything is subject to change.
"Jie!"
Upon seeing Dan Hanjie, Youyou fussed to get out of Galo’s embrace, but Galo held her firmly. The little girl pouted unhappily.
"Bad uncle, let go of me first; I want to find my Jie. I’ll come play with you later!"
"It’s my first time meeting your infamous Jie; you’re just running off without introducing him?"
Galo Karl, walking steadily, easily carried Youyou forward and sat opposite Dan Hanjie on the sofa.
With his grim eyes slightly lowered, he lifted his head, locking eyes with Dan Hanjie.
Four eyes met, neither spoke, silently sizing each other up, the air suddenly erupting with a strong tension.
It seemed as if everyone else vanished, leaving only the two men clashing in silence.
"You’re Dan Hanjie?"
At length, just when everyone thought they would keep staring, Galo Karl suddenly spoke up.
A question knowingly asked, instantly shattering the frozen atmosphere in the living room.
