Stealing Your Heart Chapter 369

Lin Xinyan deliberately left out Li Jing’s intention. Instead, she said, “She told me you’re a golden boy, whereas I’m mediocre at best. She seems to imply that we’re not well-matched. After all, my family isn’t prominent, nor do I have immense riches. Therefore, we’re not equal in social status.”

Indeed, I don’t have all these. Chances are, I will never own any of it. The only thing I can do is to stand by his side. For better or for worse, we’ll face everything together.

Zong Jinghao didn’t say a word, merely glancing at her. Then, he took the driver’s seat and started the car.

At this, Lin Xinyan turned to stare at him. “Don’t you have anything to say?”

At her question, Wen Qing looked straight ahead with a tensed gaze.

I can’t confirm that Wen Qing was hiding something from me before, but I got the answer now. He can inform me alone if it were to invite us for a meal. There was no reason for Li Jing to go all the way to her boutique. For as long as I could remember, Li Jing was always the one contacting me. In fact, I hardly even receive calls from him.

Truth be told, it wasn’t as if Wen Qing felt reluctant to contact Zong Jinghao. But he preferred Li Jing to do the job in his stead, as it had become a habit.

Yet, he’s called me personally not once, but twice already. It goes to show that something is off. Moreover, Li Xinyan’s recent mood swings have further reinforced my suspicion. She must have known about this matter. Not that I can tell how much she knows.

“I won’t allow anyone to interfere with my life!”

Not even Wen Qing!

He had made himself clear that no one could stop him from getting whatever he liked.

Attempting to change the subject, Lin Xinyan purposely got close to him and leaned against his shoulder. “Do you believe in fate?”

“I don’t.” His answer was resolute as he believed only in himself.

Immediately, she lifted her head to peer at him and declared in a serious tone, “I believe. Don’t you think it was fate that brought us together?”

During that unexpected night, I assumed that we’d never cross paths again. But I’d never imagined him to be the partner of my arranged marriage. What a twist of fate!

In a swift action, Zong Jinghao placed his arm on her shoulder and flashed a smile on his face while revealing his perfect white teeth. “You are right.”

Lin Xinyan glared at him. “What’s with this half-hearted response?”

To reassure her, Zong Jinghao placed her hands on his chest and smiled. “I’m not lying.”

Lin Xinyan lost her will to humor this flippant man. As a matter of fact, she might not win a debate against a garrulous man like him. If he were to become shameless, even the word ruffian was not too far-fetched as a description for him.

After a while, he stopped the car in front of the Chinese restaurant Wen Qing had informed him of.

Wen Qing had a relatively old-fashioned personality. Needless to say, western cuisine was not in his cards. Nevertheless, his suggestions for Chinese eateries were some of the best in B City.

This restaurant was one of them. It was decorated in a one-of-a-kind Chinese-style frame with a modern touch, giving its customers a unique experience. The waiters were in black suits, while the waitresses were dressed in Cheongsam. The sight of them standing together was especially pleasant to the eyes.

As soon as they walked over, the ushers in front of the door opened the door and welcomed them in.

After they entered through the door, a server dressed in a black suit with a bowtie on his collar approached them. “Did you make a reservation?”

Zong Jinghao nodded his head and replied promptly, “We’re with Mr. Wen.”

“Please follow me.” The waiter guided them to the private room politely right after hearing the name.

He stood aside when they arrived in front of the private room. “This one.”

Lin Xinyan was a little edgy after it occurred to her that Wen Qing was just one door apart, so she grasped Zong Jinghao’s arm.
