When Liang Yin heard this, her anger rose. Ignoring Qin Zhouâs strange gaze, she walked angrily to the men who had fallen to the ground and were rolling around in pain. She kicked them a few more times.
Hua Jin rushed forward to pull her back. âAlright, alright. Iâve already taught them a lesson. Thereâs no need for you to add to it.â
âThe bastards! They tried to use force on a helpless girl!â Liang Yin huffed and stomped on them.
The actor and his agent watched in silence for some time before asking in unison, âAre you really that helpless?â
â¦
On the way back to the hotel, Qin Zhou made a deal with Hua Jin. âFirst of all, youâre not allowed to stay out all night.â
âUh huhâ¦â
âSecondly, no visiting nightclubs, bars, discos, and other such public places of entertainment.â
âGot itâ¦â
âThirdly, donât let this happen again! If it happens again, your year-end bonus will be deducted!â
âWhat?!â
The actor wrapped his arm around Qin Zhouâs arm in grievance. âDonât do that, big brother Qin! Iâm the victim here. Iâm only doing this to protect myself! Self-defense is not a crime!â
âHmph! Donât you know your own status? Itâs late at night. Instead of resting in the hotel, you went gallivanting to a nightclub?! Hua Jin, you think youâve made it and youâre so great now! Huh?â He gave Hua Jin a stern look.
The actor gulped and muttered timidly, âIt wonât happen again!â
Liang Yin watched from the side, also frightened by Qin Zhouâs aura. This man seemed very scaryâ¦
Qin Zhou turned around and glanced at Liang Yin. He smiled gently, but his eyes were clearly cold. âAnd you. From now on, behave yourself and stay put in the hotel to memorize your lines. Donât go running around. Understand?â
Liang Yin shuddered and nodded obediently at once.
Qin Zhou smiled in relief, then reached up and stroked her head gently, as if she were an obedient child. âGood girl.â
Good girlâ¦
Good girlâ¦
For some reason, when he stroked her head, his touch was especially gentle. Liang Yinâs face heated up, and her heart started racing. She actually felt like a real sucker for this gentle gesture. She bit her lip and secretly looked at Qin Zhou from time to time, feeling that Qin Zhou was really a reliable man. Although he gave people the impression that he was a little two-faced, she felt infinitely safe with him around. No matter what happened, she didnât feel afraid with him around holding the fort. She felt completely unafraid.
Ahhhh⦠Her young and girlish heart! She was completely sold, intoxicatedâ¦
The actor looked from Liang Yin to his agent and frowned, feeling⦠There was something odd in the way that Liang Yin was staring at Qin Zhou.
After arriving back at the hotel, Liang Yin returned to her spot on the sofa. She was still in a daze thinking of Qin Zhouâs gentle gaze earlier on. Her heart was pounding.
The actor stood to one side with his arms folded, studying her coolly. âWhen Qin Zhou pets a puppy, he bears the same gentle expression in his eyes,â he reminded her kindly.
Snapping back from her thoughts, Liang Yin glanced back at him. âWere you talking to me?â
âUh huh.â The actor sat down opposite her, across the coffee table His eyes studying and assessing her. âEh? Liang Yin, donât tell me youâve taken a fancy to Qin Zhou?â
âWho â¦whoever said I fancy him?â Liang Yin retorted stubbornly. Suddenly she added, âHowever, I think he looks quite handsome on closer inspection!â
