Stealing Your Heart

He hung up the call. “Ms. Lin, you’ve come all the way here for the project. You are still unfamiliar with the surroundings and people in this area. As your business partner, I have a duty to ensure that you aren’t bullied or threatened under my care.”

Zong Yanxi stood by the door and looked at him. “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll get into a fight with you?”

“I’m not in a relationship with her.” He regretted those words the minute they left his lips. Why do I need to explain myself to her?

He chided himself for acting on impulse and massaged his temples. I hate not being in control of my emotions.

Zong Yanxi walked over, pulled a chair out, and sat back down.

Knock knock.

At that moment, a knock sounded outside the office door. Ling Wei was dressed in her professional business attire and had her makeup delicately done. She was elated when she received the call from the secretary, and a bright smile was plastered on her face as she opened the door. Upon seeing Zong Yanxi in the office, however, her smile froze on her lips.

“President Jiang.” She cast a sideward glance at Lin Ruixi before fixating her eyes onto Jiang Mohan. “Is there anything I can do for you?”

“You went to look for Ms. Lin today?” Jiang Mohan went straight to the point.

Ling Wei nervously clenched her fists and forced a strained smile. “Yes…”

“Apologize to Ms. Lin.”

Ling Wei had yet to start explaining herself when Jiang Mohan gave her the order to apologize.

Ling Wei couldn’t believe her ears. She thought that she had heard him wrong. “Mohan, What are you talking about? Why do I need to apologize to her?”

“You came to the hotel to find me today, damaging my phone during our interactions. I haven’t wronged you, have I, Ms. Ling?” Zong Yanxi crossed her legs with an air of elegance. She was looking at Ling Wei with a cold and indifferent expression.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, Ms. Lin.”

Zong Yanxi was in the mood to entertain her, so she smiled as she leaned on the table and looked at Jiang Mohan. “President Jiang, it seems like this woman who is very fond of you doesn’t have too good of an attitude. She denied everything that she had just done. How did she become the head of a department with such a personality?”
