Stealing Your Heart Chapter 917

Zong Yanxi was taken aback for a moment. What did I say just now?

She played back what she just said in her mind. I think I said something I shouldn’t have said.

“How would I know what you were like last time? You’re mistaken.” She feigned calmness and placed all the blame on Jiang Mohan. “Are you trying to change the subject?”

Jiang Mohan was rendered inarticulate.

“Just be upfront with me. Are you thinking of backing out on our collaboration? Or do you have something else on your mind?” Zong Yanxi demanded.

“Ms. Lin, I’m a little confused.” Jiang Mohan peered at her, sensing that behind her calm exterior lay many secrets. His gaze sharpened slightly. “Why such a huge reaction? What are you trying to hide?”

Upon his intense gaze, Zong Yanxi simply turned away, avoiding his piercing eyes that seemed to make her more anxious by the second. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, President Jiang. Also, prepare for contract termination.”

After that, she prepared to scurry away. However, she had only taken a step when she was grabbed by the wrist. She looked over her shoulder in shock. “What are you doing?”

“I wish to make certain things clear, Ms. Lin.” With that, Jiang Mohan began tugging her towards a café by the corner.

“Let go of me!” Zong Yanxi struggled against his hold.

Suddenly, Tian Qifeng came up to stop Jiang Mohan. “I’m gonna need you to let her go.”

“Who are you?” Jiang Mohan narrowed his eyes. He had never seen this man around Lin Ruixi before.

“He’s the bodyguard Gu Xian assigned to me. Do you have a problem with that?” Zong Yanxi quickly came up with a suitable mix of truth and lies to throw him off.

As Jiang Mohan gazed at her, his urge to see through her facade became stronger.
