Stealing Your Heart Chapter 883


    Knock! Knock!


    Right then, there was a sudden knock on the door.


    Jiang Mohan clenched his fist, trying to calm himself down. Then, he put the photo back into the


    drawer, flipped a document open on the desk before him, and said, “Come in.”


    Ling Wei entered and handed a document over to him. “President Jiang, please sign this document.”


    Jiang Mohan flipped the document open, his face devoid of expression.


    “You look pale. Are you not feeling well?” Ling Wei asked with concern, not mentioning a word about


    what happened yesterday.


    Jiang Mohan pursed his lips while remaining silent.


    Ling Wei bit her lips. “Mohan…”


    “There you go.” Jiang Mohan tossed the document over the desk after signing it, making it clear that he


    was unwilling to listen to a word she said.


    Ling Wei clenched her fists but eventually swallowed her words. She picked up the document and then


    handed a gilded invitation card to him. “The Dreams Foundation has sent you an invitation to the


    charity g.”


    Usually, this type of event was meant to serve as a tform for the wealthy and influential figures to


    build a good reputation.


    It was a win-win activity. On the one hand, the rich could earn a good reputation for making donations.


    On the other, the foundation could provide help for the needy using the money collected.


    Jiang Mohan cast a nce at the invitation card. “I got it.”


    “I’m going with you.” Ling Wei was afraid that he might turn her down, so she quickly added, “You need


    a partner for that kind of asion.”


    Jiang Mohan gave a slight nod. “You can leave now.”


    Standing in front of the hotel room with an apparel box in one hand, Gu Xian knocked on Zong Yanxi’s


    door with the other.


    Meanwhile, Zong Yanxi was typing behind theputer in her home wear with a pair of anti-radiation


    sses on the bridge of her nose. She went to answer the door after she heard someone knocking.


    Upon seeing Gu Xian, she asked, “What brings you here?”


    “It’s urgent.” Gu Xian slid into the room before Zong Yanxi even invited him in.

    Zong Yanxi closed the door. “Would you like some drinks?” she asked while taking off her sses.


    “No thanks. Come and try this on.” Gu Xian handed a gown to her.


    “What’s going on?” Zong Yanxi held a bewildered look on her face. “Why am I trying the gown?”


    “Of course, there’s a solid reason why.” Gu Xian held both sides of her arms. “There’s this charity g.


    I don’t have a partner, so I’m now inviting you as my partner to the g.”


    Zong Yanxi raised her brow. “I don’t have time for this.”


    “I don’t care! Either you go with me, or you’ll lose a friend.” Gu Xian slouched into the couch, acting


    petnt.


    Zong Yanxi had no choice but to pick up the gown. “It is rare for you to ask for my help. Since you’ve


    helped me a lot, I’ll return you a favor today.”


    “It isn’t embarrassing to be my partner, is it?” Gu Xian let out a chuckle. “No one can call a man like me


    ugly.”


    Zong Yanxi was amused. “You sure know how to blow your own horn.”


    “Do you mean to say that I’m ugly?!” Gu Xian feigned an angry look, ring at her.


    “Fine, fine. You’re not ugly.” Zong Yanxi grabbed the gown and went into her room.


    A momentter, she reappeared in the white gown. “How do I look?”


    Gu Xian’s eyes lit up. “It suits you well! You’ve got to admit that I have pretty good taste. We’ll be ready


    to go after you style your hair.”


    “Don’t I need a makeup?” asked Zong Yanxi.


    With a smile, Gu Xian reassured her, “You look gorgeous even without makeup.”


    However, Zong Yanxi held a different opinion on this matter. “I should at least apply light makeup. This


    is your first time making an appearance as the person in charge of the g. I can’t afford to let you lose


    face at such an important event.”


    Gu Xian was promoted as the head of the subsidiarypany after a year of hard work. He might


    seem to be a person with a carefree attitude, but he was indeed apetent leader in the workce.


    “That would be fantastic!” Gu Xian’s smile grew wider.


    Zong Yanxi shook her head resignedly at the man eximing in triumph.


    At seven at night, the entrance of the event hall was jam-packed with luxury cars. One could easily see


    how grand and magnificent the charity g was.


    Ling Wei dressed up in a ck gown for the charity g, looking all gorgeous and enticing. She


    became the center of attention the moment she showed up arm-in-arm with Jiang Mohan at the venue.


    Her heart burst with joy upon hearing some of the people saying they looked like a perfect match.


    She turned to look at Jiang Mohan in anticipation, only to find that he was indifferent. At that instant, the


    disappointment in her heart was hard to ignore.


    Meanwhile, a car pulled up in front of the entrance. The next moment, the driver pulled the rear door


    open, and Gu Xian got out of the car in his grey suit, which made him look mature and staid. He was


    chivalrous like a charming prince when he held out his hand for Zong Yanxi.


    Zong Yanxi put her hand in his, shing him a smile as thetter helped her out of the car.


    “Take my arm.” Gu Xian straightened up. There was a trace of sobriety in his manners, which reced


    his usual cheekiness.


    Zong Yanxi locked his arm and heard him saying, “Let’s go.”


    The two made their way into the event hall.


    The attendees all knew Gu Xian as the head of the subsidiarypany, but the beautifuldy standing


    beside him was the one who got their attention.


    “Today is certainly a gathering of beauties!” Someone eximed.


    Gu Xian held his head high as if he enjoyed it a lot when people were casting envious nces at him.


    Ling Wei turned her head and was surprised to see Zong Yanxi. Didn’t she juste back from


    abroad? How does she know Gu Xian? Why is she here with him?


    As if themotion in the crowd had caught his attention, Jiang Mohan turned around to see Zong


    Yanxi standing beside Gu Xian elegantly. She looked as pretty as a picture in her pearl white bias cut


    gown, which perfectly wrapped her curvaceous figure. Her ck hair was tied into a loose bun, with


    loose tendrils of hair framing her face.


    Jiang Mohan was in a daze as her temperament reminded him of the person that used to walk beside


    him, with her arm in his.


    “Mohan.” Ling Wei tightened her grip around his arm.


    Jiang Mohan finally returned to his senses and saw Gu Xian walking toward him.


    “President Jiang.” Gu Xian greeted him. Even though he hadn’t engaged in any business dealing with


    Jiang Mohan, that man was a big name in B City. He had to admit that Jiang Mohan was certainly a


    capable man since he managed to be who he was today.


    Zong Yanxi knew there was a high possibility that she would meet Jiang Mohan on such an asion,


    but she didn’t expect Ling Wei to be his partner.


    She sneered internally but projected a calm facade. “President Jiang, the two of you look perfect with


    each other.”


    “Tha— “


    “We’re just friends.” Jiang Mohan interrupted Ling Wei.


    Right then, the voice of the host rang out. “Fate has brought us together today! We are all here today


    with a great heart full ofpassion.”


    After a short preamble, the host’s voice grew even louder and more passionate. “Tonight, we are


    organizing this charity g in the hope of making some contributions to the needy. First of all, I would


    like to thank you for your support and send you warm regards on behalf of the organizer. Tonight’s


    fundraising will proceed in the form of an auction. Of course, all of the auction items are donations from


    our fellow phnthropists from different industries. The fund raised will go to the needy through the


    Dreams Foundation. For our love and our dreams! Let the auction begin! Our model will present to you


    our first auction item.”


    A model in an evening dress with full face makeup proceeded onto the stage.


    A murmur broke out when the crowd saw the model holding nothing in her hand. A man asked


    teasingly, “Are you auctioning the model?”


    The host disyed a perfect smile. “Sir, of course, we are not auctioning the model. Allow me to


    introduce you to tonight’s first auction item—a limited edition diamond ring from an anonymous


    phnthropist.”


    A huge diamond ring came into sight as the model raised her hand.


    Zong Yanxi was shocked upon seeing the ring.


    Jiang Mohan’s face, too, was clouded over. That was a custom-made diamond ring when he proposed


    to Zong Yanxi. She never took it off once he put it on her finger. He thought it was long gone with her


    when she died…


    Locking her gaze on the ring, Zong Yanxi couldn’t help wringing her hands. She only found out that her


    ring was missing after being rescued by Gu Xian. I thought I’ve lost the ring… Why would it suddenly


    appear at the auction?


    The host rang out again. “This ring itself is of great value, so its reserve price is considerably high. The


    starting bid is ten million!”
