Chapter 22

Qin Jinnan was infamous.

Known for acting without rhyme or reason.

I was the one who bumped into that beautiful woman first.

If she ended up suffering because of it, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

My conscience couldn't take it.

But I was still afraid of Qin Jinnan.

So, when I asked the question, my fingers clenched unconsciously.

He gently pried them open and chuckled—suddenly, unexpectedly.

"What are you thinking?" he said, then reached out and rubbed my hair with surprising gentleness.

"I just fired her, that's all."

The screen in front of me was instantly flooded with a sea of white comments.

Unreadable.

Unstoppable.

[Did he just… laugh?]

[It's been nearly ten years. I swear, this is the first time I've seen the villainous brother laugh.]

["Just fired her"—why does that sound more dangerous than a death sentence?]

[Last time a woman was dragged out like that, she ended up half-dead. And that time, the bodyguards acted without his permission.]

[Now he's personally escorting someone into his private office...]

[Don't tell me he's really interested?]

[I don't get it—what's so special about this sister?]

[Are we suddenly getting a "CEO falls for plain Jane" arc now?]
