Stealing Your Heart

The man was caught off guard. What did I just say?

His memory quickly returned to him and he addressed Guan Jing, “Oh. I told Mr. Zong that your girlfriend is pretty.”

Guan Jing jumped slightly, almost losing his balance. His eyes widened to the size of saucers and he barked, “Are you blind? Since when did I have a girlfriend?”

Lin Xinyan was standing next to Zong Jinghao. She caught the subtle twitches in the vein in his temple and leaned in toward him discreetly.

A stranger misunderstood because he doesn’t know any better.

Is it really worth getting angry over?

The man was dumbfounded by Guan Jing’s response. What’s going on?

He looked at Guan Jing, then at Lin Xinyan.

Did I say something wrong?

Sweat pooled on the man’s forehead. “I… I was…”

Lin Xinyan was well aware of Zong Jinghao’s temper. I chose not to come in because I didn’t want to disturb him. I can’t allow him to take his anger out on someone who formed a reasonable misunderstanding.

She turned to the man. “I’m actually here for Mr. Zong. You can go back to work.”

The man did not dare to move on her command. He looked at Zong Jinghao, awaiting his order.

The president growled, “Didn’t you hear what she said?”

The man’s jaw fell open. I think I just stumbled upon something.

This woman…

“Why are you still here?” Guan Jing spat at him.

The man anxiously scuttled out. In his haste, he failed to notice the door and collided headfirst into it. A small bump swelled on his forehead. Guan Jing turned to face him. “If there’s something wrong with your eyes, you should get it checked out at the hospital.”

“I am due for an eye checkup.” The man placed a hand over his bump and scrambled out.

Guan Jing erupted into sniggers. Serve you right for making such a blunder.

Zong Jinghao did not join him. Instead, he stared at him blankly.

His tepid reaction irritated Guan Jing, who threw a pleading expression toward Lin Xinyan.
