Chapter 1229: Chapter 1229: Held Before the Eyes, It Only Stains the Hands with a Fishy Smell

Qin Youxuan’s delicate voice, infused with a little woman’s dependency, gave Dan Hanjie plenty of face.

Dan Hanjie’s mouth quirked into a smile, his arm encircling her petite frame.

“After her health has been taken care of, we’ll consider the wedding, and for everything else, we’ll let nature take its course.”

The sweet couple’s all-in gamble to clear their image left all those who still harbored doubts about their marital affection without an angle to exploit.

In the end, it all turned into blessings.

“Mr. Jie, look this way.”

“Mrs. Dan, give us a smile…”

Reporters held their cameras high, desperately squeezing forward to capture the most picturesque couple shot.

Qin Youxuan was graceful and at ease, naturally linking arms with Dan Hanjie. Her cat-like eyes scanned the venue and caught a glimpse of Yu Yueman being quietly escorted out by bodyguards.

A glint flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly spoke up.

“Today we should also thank someone else. Thank you, Miss Yu, for coming here in person to explain things to everyone on our behalf.”

As soon as Qin Youxuan uttered these words, Yu Yueman’s steps faltered.

The media quickly turned their cameras in her direction, making her attempted departure rather awkward.

Yet Qin Youxuan seemed oblivious to Yueman’s discomfort, her smile remaining light.

She nodded in a friendly manner towards her.

“Mrs. Dan, Miss Yu just said she has a fondness for Mr. Jie. What are your thoughts on that, and would you mind if someone harbors a secret crush on your husband?” a reporter, sensing the unusual tension between the two, astutely asked.

“Of course not.”

The smile on Qin Youxuan’s face grew even more radiant, sending a pang of alarm through Yu Yueman’s heart.

She wanted to turn and leave, but it was too late.

“In my eyes, my husband is the finest man in the world, and it’s natural that many people admire him. If I were to get jealous of everyone, I’d probably drown in my own vinegar. Besides, compared to other women who admire my husband, I trust the man I chose more. He will be good to me for a lifetime.”

Qin Youxuan’s words, half teasing, half confession, won the applause of countless reporters.

That applause sounded in Yu Yueman’s ears like slaps to her face.

Qin Youxuan paused for a moment before continuing.

“In fact, I was unaware of Miss Yu’s admiration for my husband. We bumped into each other shopping and had a little chat. Miss Yu was very receptive to my opinions on her dress, saying that if it was chosen by me, the person she cares for would like it too…”

Qin Youxuan stopped herself mid-sentence as if suddenly realizing she had said too much, and looked around with a smile.

Instantly, a collective gasp filled the space around her.

No one here was unaware that Yu Yueman’s seemingly inquiring remarks were actually shameless provocations.

To disrupt another’s family and still stand so righteous was simply shocking to one’s moral sensibilities!

Even if it had been accidental, knowing it now, one should be more restrained instead of declaring a fondness for Dan Hanjie in front of so many media.

“Mrs. Dan, what is your opinion on third parties who disrupt others’ families?”

“I’m just a little woman who deeply loves her husband and her family. I don’t understand any grand principles, but I’d like to kindly advise: ‘It’s never too late to pull back from the brink. What isn’t yours, even held in your hands, will only spoil them.'”

Qin Youxuan’s gaze landed on Yu Yueman, her smile saying it all without a word.

At that, someone approached Yu Yueman, microphone in hand.

“Miss Yu, what did you mean when you said you had a great fondness for Mr. Jie just now? Did you ask Mrs. Dan to choose a dress for you out of simple trust in her taste, or does it hold another meaning?”
