The man unconsciously swallowed, the sight of the plainly dressed woman in front of him, yet tall and with piercing eyes, truly made him gasp in astonishment.
He didn't understand how she could possess such an imposing aura; she was unmistakably a half-sister to Qin Mingzhu, both sharing the same delicate appearance. Yet, Qin Mingzhu had no such presence, whereas this girl, who had been cast out since childhood, exuded an aura so powerful that it even intimidated him, a man.
She leaned quietly against the side of the table, eyes downcast in thought for a moment, then lifted her gaze and smiled faintly at him, "What benefit did Qin Mingzhu offer you?"
"What benefit?"
The man frowned, clearly not following her train of thought.
"If there's no benefit, why would a man as tall as one meter eighty follow the commands of a petite woman? Is it because of her family's power? Or perhaps you're secret lovers deeply in love?"
Qin Mu speculated casually, composed and patient.
