Stealing Your Heart

Cheng Yuxiu was dead, and that was something she could not change. The only thing she could now do was to introduce the Tea Silk of the Cheng family to a greater audience. That way, it would have the glory it used to have. She did not want it to disappear from the world because of that one person.

Perhaps, this was the only thing she could do to make herself feel better about it.

Shao Yun knitted his brows, not understanding her words. However, Lin Xinyan did not plan to explain to him either. The story was too long and complicated to be explained briefly. Hence, she cheekily uttered, “Don’t frown. You’ll become ugly.”

Shao Yun loved to be praised as a young and handsome man, so Lin Xinyan successfully made him laugh. “Why don’t we have dinner with everyone here tonight? I’ll make arrangements. Does that sound good to you?”

As if fearing Lin Xinyan would reject him, he added, “Both the embroidery studio and the textile factory are running smoothly now despite their small scale. Hence, we should celebrate, shouldn’t we?”

Instead of killing his mood, she answered, “Sure. Please make the arrangements.”

“Wise decision. Not only should you pay them appropriately, but you should also express your gratitude once in a while. That way, they’ll work harder,” Shao Yun whispered into Lin Xinyan’s ears.

He often seemed goofy, as that was his personality, but he was a capable man.

At five in the evening, the staff got off work. There were eleven staff members on the third floor, and twenty on the second. In total, there were over thirty of them. Shao Yun made arrangements for three tables in a luxurious hotel, and everyone seemed merry.

Lin Xinyan had picked up her children as well, who were both seated beside Qin Ya and her. As for socializing, Lin Xinyan had left it in the good hands of Shao Yun; she did not do well in a social gathering like this.

The ones seated by her table were the ones working on the third floor, and they were mostly women who did not drink. Qin Ya opened a bottle of white wine and placed it in front of Li Xin. “Don’t be shy if you can drink. We’re all women here, so we can’t drink with you. Drink slowly if you’re drinking. Don’t get drunk because no one can take care of you.”

Li Xin was a quiet man, and he was not a lover of wine. He raised his head to look at Qin Ya before returning the bottle to her. “I don’t want it to affect my work tomorrow.”

Qin Ya lifted a brow but said nothing about it.
