Stealing Your Heart

When they got to the hotel, Nan Cheng helped to carry Zong Yanxi’s luggage up to her room. “Ms. Lin, please have a good rest. We’ll have time to discuss business matters over the next few days.”

“Thank you.” Zong Yanxi took the luggage from him.

Nan Cheng shot a look at her before turning around to leave. Zong Yanxi stood by the door but didn’t shut it immediately. Instead, she watched as the elevator doors shut behind Nan Cheng. At that moment, Gu Xian snuck out from a corner.

“Is he gone?”

Zong Yanxi dragged Gu Xian into the room. “Come on in, hurry up.”

She shook off her high heels and changed into slippers. After placing her luggage on the rack, Zong Yanxi sat down on the sofa and asked, “Well, any news?”

During this one year, Zong Yanxi had become bosom friends with Gu Xian. He had been carrying out some investigations within the country on behalf of Zong Yanxi.

“After your “death,” Jiang Mohan merged Jiangda Group and Wanyue Group into Hengkang Group. As for the will, I haven’t discovered who forged your handwriting and planted it at the scene of the fire.”

Zong Yanxi’s eyes narrowed. Back then, she was certain that the person who left the will at the scene of the fire was the same person who wished her dead—Jiang Mohan. However, she had no evidence to prove that.

Right now, the most important thing was to find evidence of his actions.

“You just returned to the country! Why don’t you rest for a while and go out for dinner with me? I’ll pay for everything,” Gu Xian said, smiling.

“I’m not up for it. I don’t want to go out right now. I think I’ll just make something for myself in the hotel room.” Zong Yanxi rubbed her neck tiredly.

“No, no! Let’s go out for dinner.” Gu Xian pulled her up from the sofa. “Come on, put on your shoes!”

Seeing Gu Xian’s enthusiasm, Zong Yanxi couldn’t bear to turn him down. Rather reluctantly, she agreed to go for dinner with him.

She put on her shoes, and they left the hotel for dinner.

When they got into the car, Zong Yanxi asked, “Where are we going?”

Gu Xian said, “Just you wait! I’ve arranged everything perfectly for you.”

As he spoke, he started the car and drove off gleefully into the night.

They pulled up in front of a high-class restaurant and got out of the car. Zong Yanxi used to come here all the time, so it wasn’t a fabulous surprise to her. She turned to Gu Xian and said smilingly, “Thanks for the treat. Your wallet’s going to take a hit.”

“You don’t come here everyday. Of course I have to treat you to something nice. Otherwise, how am I supposed to express my sincerity?” Gu Xian got out of the car and flung the car keys to the valet.

The two of them entered the restaurant. They chose a table in a quiet corner that was rather inconspicuous.
