Chapter 19
Qin Jinnan's arrival shattered the entire situation.
Until now, I had only heard about how dangerous he could be—from the system, the texts, and the rumors whispered in office corridors.
But this…This was the first time I saw it for myself.
He didn't wait for explanations.Didn't listen to excuses.
He simply waved his hand, and the bodyguards came forward.
The woman who had humiliated me was dragged out without another word.
No one dared speak.No one dared look.
Qin Jinnan wasn't just cold.He was ruthless.
And yet—when I glanced up at him, I caught something strange.
A smile.Not wide. Not kind.But unmistakably there, curled faintly at the corner of his lips.
That smile… was aimed at me.
He rubbed my wrist gently with his thumb.It was almost tender.
Then he leaned down slightly, and murmured:
"I just saved you."
His voice was low. Almost teasing.
"How do you plan to thank me?"
