Stealing Your Heart

Zong Yanxi refused to move a muscle although Gu Xian stood holding the car door for her.

“Come on. You’re too heavy for me to carry you,” he teased.

Zong Yanxi glared at him and grunted. After she got off the car, Gu Xian locked the door and dragged her into the restaurant.

“A table for two,” he said to the waiter.

“Over here.” The waiter gestured towards a nearby table.

Zong Yanxi followed behind listlessly as she locked her gaze on the ground. She even let out a groan when Gu Xian jabbed her with his elbow. “Hey! It’s Jiang Mohan,” Gu Xian alerted her.

Before she could even pull herself together, she spotted Jiang Mohan seated at the other table. He seemed to be engaged in serious talk when he sensed someone looking at him and turned his head towards them.

Zong Yanxi quickly straightened her back and put up a smile. “President Jiang,” she greeted.

Jiang Mohan nodded at her and shifted his gaze to check out Gu Xian, who in turn, scoffed and pulled Zong Yanxi back to their seat.

“Get me all the best dishes you have here,” Gu Xian told the waiter coldly without even looking at the menu.

Zong Yanxi widened her eyes and stared at him in bewilderment.

What’s wrong with him?

Why is he so worked up all of a sudden?

It took the waiter a while to come back to his senses and he quickly replied, “Sure. We’ll serve you the best food we have.”

After the waiter left, Gu Xian leaned forward and said softly, “We must pretend like we’re a couple.”

Zong Yanxi sat back and replied apathetically, “I’m not into kids.”

Gu Xian rolled his eyes hard and grumbled. “You’re the kid here.”

But Zong Yanxi leaned closer as a frown spread across her brows. “Tell me, what’s wrong with you?”
