Stealing Your Heart

Zong Jinghao pulled the chair out for Lin Xinyan and waited until she sat down before taking his own seat with his daughter in his arms.

Su Zhan looked at the time and said, “Shen Peichuan is putting on airs this time, huh? He’s even late for his own treat.”

“Maybe he’s held up,” replied Lin Xinyan. The Shen Peichuan she knew was not a time-blind man.

“Who could this girlfriend of his be? Hasn’t Sang Yu left B City? Xinyan, do you have any idea who it might be?” Su Zhan suddenly remembered seeing him getting in a woman’s car. Could it be her?

“It’s not Sang Yu?” asked Lin Xinyan.

Shaking his head, Su Zhan replied, “She left…”

“I know who she is. I’ve met her.” Zong Yanxi cut Su Zhan off and said smugly, taking pride with the fact that she was the first to meet her, even though their first encounter was a hellish unpleasant experience.

“Really?” Su Zhan asked with a smile, “Is she pretty?”

Zong Yanxi thought about it and replied, “Just so-so.”

Regardless of how good one looked, with a bad impression, everything else was pointless.

Zong Yanxi disregarded her looks altogether and remembered only the displeasing experience with her.

As with what was unlikable about her, she couldn’t really tell. She simply didn’t like her.

Just then, two persons showed up at the door of the restaurant.

“It’s terrible to be late when we’re the one hosting.” Shen Peichuan wasn’t happy because he thought that Song Yaxin was too capricious. It was almost time already when Song Yaxin insisted on going home to change, causing them to be late eventually.

“It’s my first time meeting your friends and if I dress horribly, wouldn’t I be embarrassing you?” Song Yaxin knew as well that showing up late was not appropriate but she wanted to make a good impression on Shen Peichuan’s friends on their first meeting.

“I was looking all scruffy and hideous; aren’t you ashamed of bringing me to see your friends that way?”

Shen Peichuan could not counter what she said so he replied placidly, “What I value in people is their virtue, not the veneer. You are who you are and there’s no need to care about how you look in others’ eyes.”

Song Yaxin pursed her lips and asked, “Are you angry?”

“I’m not. Alright now, we are here.” Shen Peichuan signaled her to stop speaking while he pushed open the door of the private room and greeted the others with a smile, “We’re so sorry for being late.”

Song Yaxin was indeed pretty and her outfit was also tasteful and elegant. Taking Shen Peichuan’s arms, she smiled and said, “Sorry, the traffic was congested on our way here so we’re late.”

Shen Peichuan furrowed his eyebrows in surprise that she actually lied.

It was clearly because she insisted on changing into another outfit that we’re late. How could she lie that it was because of traffic congestion?
