Stealing Your Heart

Zong Qifeng looked in the direction of Mr. Zhang.

President Zong? When Cheng Yuxiu turned round to look at the person at the entrance, she froze at once. Oh, my God! She didn’t know what to do.

Mr. Zhang did not notice anything unusual in Cheng Yuxiu’s behavior. He stood up and walked to the front of Zong Qifeng. “President Zong, are you here for dinner? I would be most privileged to have dinner with you.”

They had befriended each other during previous business deals.

At the same time, Mr. Zhang also greeted Zong Qifeng’s companions. “Come. Let’s have a nice dinner. I have taken a table near the window. We can enjoy the scene outside as we eat. It’s great, isn’t it?”

Those companions dared not decide; they stared at Zong Qifeng, hinting at him to have the final say.

Zong Qifeng stared at the floor and nodded. “We’d be glad to.”

Mr. Zhang at once led the way. He pulled out the chair for Zong Qifeng.

As soon as all had sat down, Mr. Zhang signaled the waiter to order more dishes.

Cheng Yuxiu became very uncomfortable. She held her hands together and placed them under the table. She never expected to meet Zong Qifeng here. so she kept her head down.

Someone poked fun at Mr. Zhang. “You are having dinner with a beautiful lady. Sorry for spoiling your plan.”

“Mr. Zhang, we haven’t met this beautiful lady before, have we?”

Cheng Yuxiu instinctively raised her head and had eye contact with Zong Qifeng.

Cheng Yuxiu was anxious and wanted to explain. However, there were other people around so she kept mum.

She remembered Zong Qifeng told her not to disclose their relationship to anyone else.

She didn’t say a word especially in front of Zong Qifeng for fear of drawing unwanted attention.

She looked at Mr. Zhang. “I am sorry. I’ve got to go now.”

Mr. Zhang signaled her to sit down. “Relax. They are only joking. Please stay on to have dinner together. I don’t expect to let leave with your stomach empty.”

Having reassured Cheng Yuxiu, Mr Zhang glanced at the two who poked fun at him. “Come on, buddies. I am a married man. Don’t give me a bad name as a womanizer. I have the pleasure to introduce to you…”
