Stealing Your Heart

“Ms. Lin? What are you doing here?” Jiang Mohan was shocked to see her here.

Zong Yanxi’s hands curled into fists, and she had to force herself to keep her threshing emotions in check in order to keep her calm façade.

“I…” Her voice came out dry. “I lost my way…”

“Get in the car. I’ll give you a ride.” He locked his gaze with hers.

Zong Yanxi relaxed her curled fists and smiled. “Thank you for the offer, President Jiang.”

Jiang Mohan remained silent.

She pulled open the door and slid into the car.

“President Jiang, I was wondering if you’ve settled your matters?” She went straight to the point. “I don’t wish for anything to happen during the period of our collaboration.”

Jiang Mohan kept up with his silence and steered the car onto the road.

Whatever happened yesterday was an accident. He was set up by someone with the intention to ruin his reputation, but he had already settled the matter.

He was also upset about the incident.

“I’m assuming you haven’t had lunch yet, have you, Ms. Lin? Let’s head for lunch. It’ll be my treat.” Jiang Mohan suddenly blurted out.

Zong Yanxi gave his suggestion some thought. “How could I ever reject such a sincere offer from you, President Jiang?”

Jiang Mohan cast a glance at her through the rear mirror. There had not been a single time where she had not surprised him every time they met.

It was the same this time.

It was as though she possessed some kind of charm that drew him close to her, making him want to fall at her feet and make her his.

He repulsed that feeling.

He loathed being controlled by women and being at a loss of power due to them.

The car slowed to a stop at the main entrance of a fancy restaurant.

Zong Yanxi took a closer look at the restaurant they were at and immediately felt her emotions churn. This was the restaurant that she used to love. It was where she used to drag Jiang Mohan to, and it had all her favorite dishes.
