Stealing Your Heart

“I would like to show you something, President Jiang.” Zong Yanxi fished out her mobile phone and played the footage on it for him.

Jiang Mohan’s gaze was lowered and glued onto the phone screen. His eyebrows furrowed. He seemed to have heard Lin Ruixi saying that she wanted to pursue him and was shocked to find that he was delighted by that information.

“Are all of the Hengkang Group’s employees so overbearing? I’ve received a warning from one of them for no apparent reason. I think I’ll need an explanation from you, President Jiang. Else, there’ll be a need to put aside our collaboration matters for a while.”

Jiang Mohan nonchalantly rested one of his arms on the desk. “I don’t think this should affect our collaboration.”

“I wouldn’t be too sure about that if I were you, President Jiang. I represent Rui Mei. Our companies are business partners, but one of Rui Mei’s employees has been bullied by your company’s employees. Don’t you think that I deserve an explanation?” She leaned forward and closed in the distance between them. “This woman seems to be very fond of you, President Jiang. Does she send out warnings like this to every single woman who interacts with you? Or perhaps, you actually enjoy being adored and admired? Is that why you are closing one eye on this matter? If that is the case, then I’ll have nothing to say. I’ll just take it that I’ve had a bad day.”

Zong Yanxi pulled herself up from her seat upon finishing her speech. She grabbed her phone from the desk. “I’ve seen the attitude of Hengkang’s employees. It seems like I wouldn’t be able to interact with you any longer, President Jiang. Else, there’ll sure be someone chasing after me to send out warnings. I’ll contact my company today. It seems like we’ll need to delay our collaboration.”

She turned on her heel to leave.

“Wait.”

Jiang Mohan stopped her. “Ms. Lin, please wait a moment.”

He walked out from behind his desk. “I never said that I wouldn’t do you justice, Ms. Lin. Why the temper?”

Zong Yanxi whipped her head around.

“How are you planning to settle this, President Jiang?” Zong Yanxi tilted her chin up, emitting an aggressive aura.

This personality…

Jiang Mohan withdrew all his expressions but remained on his path toward her. He pulled in the distance between them, and Zong Yanxi took a step back instinctively. Jiang Mohan didn’t seem like he was ready to let her off just yet, and he continued in his paces toward her. Zong Yanxi had to back away from him as a last resort as he slowly got closer and closer to her.

Jiang Mohan grabbed her wrist and dragged her toward him in one swift movement. Zong Yanxi hastily took a step toward him but shot out her hand and placed it against his chest. She forcefully calmed down her racing heart and chided him coldly. “What are you trying to do?”
