Stealing Your Heart Chapter 583
Lin Xinyan turned to gape at him speedily and asked, “Was it that obvious?”
“No, your intention was perfectly disguised. It’s just that I know you too well.” Zong Jinghao grinned
from ear to ear and continued, “Perhaps we’re connected spiritually?”
Lin Xinyan was rendered speechless.
A few momentster, she regained herposure andmented, “I can tell that Su Zhan still has
feelings for Qin Ya.”
“His heart has remained loyal to her since the beginning. He did a mistake in the past, that’s all.” Zong
Jinghao spoke up for his buddy and carried on, “Please talk to Qin Ya.”
“I can’t see through her.” Lin Xinyan answered inly. Honestly speaking, I’ve wished that someone
could take care of Qin Ya for a lifetime, and Su Zhan just happened to be the ideal candidate. Even
though he made some mistakes previously, he has learned his lesson already. However, she was too
frigid towards him, and it doesn’t seem like she’s gonna give him any chance. Also, it’s not like I lied
about wanting to celebrate Shen Peichuan’s promotion. He performed well enough to be qualified for
this position. Thus, I took this chance to invite them to the vi. Ahem… To create an opportunity for Su
Zhan and Qin Ya.
“Everyone has their own path. You don’t have to worry too much.” Zong Jinghao didn’t want her to be
too absorbed into the lives of others.
Lin Xinyan understood his intention, “I won’t meddle too much. I’ll just do whatever little things I can to
create a chance for them. If they managed to rekindle their rtionship, that’s for the best. Or else, we
can only say that they’re not meant to be together. I won’t say anything to Qin Ya. If she still has
feelings for him, she’ll see the good in him somehow. Otherwise, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“I’m d you understand.” Zong Jinghao agreed with her totally.
He didn’t like to get involved in other people’s rtionships, so he hoped that Lin Xinyan wouldn’t
interfere too much either, as they were all adults with their own thoughts. It was fine if what she did was
just a little push, but shoving her ideas down their throats was uneptable for him.
The car arrived in the underground parking lot of the office as they talked. After Zong Jinghao parked
the car, he got out of the vehicle and walked towards Lin Xinyan’s door. Meanwhile, she had already
exited the car by herself. So he took her hand as they headed toward the elevator.
Lin Xinyan struggled, “Won’t it be bad for us?”
After all, there was a rumor about them that went viral online before, and there was a heated
discussion that she was some unpopr celebrity. As much as she couldn’t care less, being criticized
and faced with public bacsh wasn’t exactly a pleasant feeling.
Zong Jinghao eyes met with hers, “What’s so bad about it?”
In the first ce, they were legitimate husband and wife. Neither was Lin Xinyan having an affair with
him nor was he her secret lover. If they were open about their rtionship, it’d be harder for people to
make false usations.
Lin Xinyan could never dissuade him, so she allowed him to hold her hand as they entered the elevator
willingly.
After the rumor went viral, thepany staff greeted them more passionately than before whenever
they were seen together.
When the elevator reached the destination floor, they exited together after the door slid open. As Zong
Jinghao passed by the secretary’s seat, he asked, “Are you thirsty?”
Lin Xinyan nodded, “I’m famished.”
Her stomach was rumbling with hunger as she had eaten nothing since morning.
“What would you like to eat? I’ll have the secretary to get it for you.”
“Crispy fried pumpkin with salted egg, Sachertorte, caramel custard, and Dorayaki.” Lin Xinyan named
a few sweet snacks. Oh, snap! I’m drooling just by thinking of them!
Zong Jinghao turned to stare at the woman who requested nothing but sweet stuff. I guess I’ve got no
choice since she likes them.
Without any dy, he ordered his secretary, “Get a cup of fresh juice as well.” Then, he added, “Fresh
orange.” Sweet food can feel greasy if eaten too much. The sourness of oranges is a great help to
bnce the taste.
At once, the secretary responded, “I’m on it. By the way, the Chief of Public Rtions came looking for
you this morning and asked me to ping her when you arrive. Should I summon her now?”
Zong Jinghao murmured a short reply, “Okay.”
Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
Immediately after, he held her hand while entering his office, and his secretary noticed his gentleness
toward her. To think that thoseizens were spouting nonsense they knew nothing about was so
laughable.
When they were in the office, Lin Xinyan informed, “Do whatever you need to do. I’ll be waiting for you
at the lounge.”
Since Zong Jinghao had a few tasks to aplish, he agreed to let her wait, “You may take a short
nap on the sofa if you’re feeling tired.”
Although Lin Xinyan acknowledged, she was reluctant to do so, seeing that it was an inappropriate
sight. Hence, she took a book to read while chilling on the couch.
After some time, someone knocked on the office door, so Zong Jinghao lifted his head from the
documents he was reading and ordered, “Come in.”
In no time, the Chief of Public Rtions came in after pushing the door open, and then she caught
sight of Lin Xinyan, who was sitting on the sofa. With a smile on her face, she greeted, “Nice to meet
you, Mrs. Zong.”
As Lin Xinyan wasn’t used to this title, she hurriedly forced a stiff smile and nodded lightly in response.
“What’s the matter?” Zong Jinghao put down the documents in his hands and leaned his back against
the chair.
“Have you heard about the news regarding yourselftely?” She started the conversation without
beating around the bush.
Zong Jinghao responded in agreement.
“Our official ount has been flooded with questions. I think you might need to exin yourself.” She
remarked.
Zong Jinghao frowned at her remark. What does the official ount have to do with me? Besides, it’s
the ount of thepany, not my personal one.
“What’s wrong?”
She exined, “Are you aware that the amount of our official ount’s followers has reached seventy
million?”
As Zong Jinghao leaned against the chair casually, hemented, “Isn’t that the job of your
department?”
She answered with a smile, “Indeed, that’s our responsibility. However, apany can hardly attract so
much attention in such a short time frame.”
“What’s your point?”
“To gain more followers, we’ll usually post photos of thepany’s boss.” She rified truthfully.
“Needless to say, these followers aren’t following our ount for more contents of thepany but the
person behind it. Following the news updates of what we do here is just the icing on the cake.”
Zong Jinghao threw a nce at her. Hmm… Indeed, I seldom pay attention to her department, seeing
that she’s a capable woman. I do visit our Weibo official ount asionally, but it’s always the usual
stuff.
After hearing her rification, he scrolled through some of thetest posts on the official ount and
was shocked to see nothing but his photos.
“Your pictures are more attractive than the news of our projects. So please treat them as a means to
advertise ourpany.” She assuaged.
Zong Jinghao rubbed his brows at the sudden revtion, “So, you’re responsible for my recent
troubles?”
Yet, she replied calmly, “Certainly not. I just think that this might be the perfect opportunity to reveal the
identity of your wife. When that happens, our staff will finally have the chance to attend your wedding.”
Zong Jinghao raised his head to look down while uttering in a sarcastic tone, yet there was a bright
smile on his face, “Are you listening to yourself? Or should I give you thanks?”
“If you feel that I’ve been a great help, please distribute red packets to us during your wedding day.” As
an observant person like her, she had noticed that Zong Jinghao wasn’t angry at her. Hence, she
continued, “You were a bachelor then. Thus, a sudden announcement of you having a wife would
naturally attract much attention. However, there have been many negativements about Mrs.
Zong’s identity seeing that the public has heard no news of your wedding before. Of course, there are
some positive views, but the bad ones are really harsh. So I think it’s time you give your wife a proper
standing.”
Thest part of her words was told from a woman’s perspective. Although she could tell that Zong
Jinghao had been treating Lin Xinyan well, spections were inevitable without a rightful identity.
In fact, all that she said had been troubling his mind for the longest. Yeah, I think it’s about the right
time too. But too many things have happened until now, and she’s in the middle of pregnancy. Hmm…
“I got what you said. You may go back to work now.” Zong Jinghao said, clearly epted her opinion.
