Stealing Your Heart

When Mr. Li, who he was having business talks with earlier, noticed Bai Yinning’s gaze, he asked, “Do you know her?”

Bai Yinning shook his head. “No.”

He was not intentionally drawing a line between him and Lin Xinyan; he did not want Mr. Li to know about his relationship with her. Business was business. Bai Yinning did not want to show any part of his private life to others.

He said to Gao Yuan, “Let’s go.”

Gao Yuan glanced at Lin Xinyan before lowering his head to look at Bai Yinning. He sighed inwardly. I’ve been working for you for a long time. How can I not know what you’re thinking about?

The colder he looked on the outside, the more emotions surged on the inside.

Lin Xinyan had been focused on changing the tense atmosphere; she did not notice Bai Yinning’s presence.

After drinking the juice, she looked at the rest. “We’re all from different places, but we’ve met each other here. I think this is fate. I hope we can work harmoniously.”

“Of course. I was too rash earlier. I shouldn’t have asked you those questions,” the woman who had started the heated discussion answered. After all, she had only been curious; she had no intentions of crossing anyone. Lin Xinyan’s right. We’re colleagues. It won’t be good for us if this dinner end terribly.

“Come, let’s toast. We’ll toast with tea instead. Let’s put our past behind us. Sometimes, we just say the wrong words. It’s normal. But after drinking this glass, we’ll put this behind us. We’ll still be friendly with each other.” Qin Ya was first to raise her glass to toast with the others. After Lin Xinyan and Qin Ya’s speech, no one dared to continue the topic.

Lin Xinyan and Shao Yun were some of the nicer bosses they had come across. Furthermore, it was not long since they had started work, but they already had a gathering. Everyone was relatively satisfied with the job, and they were more than willing to put effort into their work. After all, no one would say no to the good pay.

When dinner was over, Shao Yun was the one to send the others back. On the other hand, Lin Xinyan and Qin Ya led the kids as they slowly walked out of the restaurant.

It did not seem like a long dinner, but the sky was dark now. Lin Xinyan pulled open the car door to let the two children climb into the car.
