Stealing Your Heart Chapter 384
“Is it compulsory for the wealthy to have multiple women?” Lin Xinyan lowered her voice.
“Not really. You see, he has desires and physiological needs no matter what. Back then, he had a fiancée. He called off the engagement, but he didn’t have any other women.” Li Zhan leaned closer and whispered, “According to an article I’ve read before, if a man didn’t vent his frustrations for a long time, his thoughts will become distorted. Soon, he will become ill-tempered, and I figure that may be the case. When we meet him later, don’t be afraid. I’m with you.”
Ding! The door of the lift opened.
Lin Xinyan wanted to know who Li Zhan was, but she lost the chance to ask. The door of the lift opened, and they arrived on the floor of the higher-ups’. Moreover, Zong Jinghao’s office was located there too.
She could feel the overwhelming tension of the workplace as it was so intense.
Lin Xinyan hesitated in her tracks. Never would she have thought that Li Zhan would bring her to meet Zong Jinghao.
She did not dare picture the expression of Zong Jinghao when he saw her.
Li Zhan mistook her hesitation as fear. He comforted her by saying, “ You have me, so don’t be afraid. Let’s go.”
Before Lin Xinyan could express her thoughts, Li Zhan dragged her off the elevator.
A worker saw Li Zhan taking the hand of a woman who was covered from head to toe. He took another glance at them as he was felt something was off.
Everyone knew Li Zhan’s status in the company. However, no one dared to gossip as Zong Jinghao had given his orders.
“What are you looking at?” Li Zhan shot a glance at the worker who was staring at Lin Xinyan.
That man laughed politely and asked, “Is this your girlfriend?”
Li Zhan was taken aback by that man’s assumption, but he smiled and replied, “Yes, she is.”
The corners of Lin Xinyan’s eyes twitched when she heard the bold answer of Li Zhan.
The worker did not respond, but he looked at Lin Xinyan again out of curiosity.
Lin Xinyan was wearing Li Zhan’s black-framed glasses and a face mask. As most of her features were covered, no one could recognize her. However, it was hard to say for those familiar with her.
The door of the lift closed. This shielded Lin Xinyan from the worker’s stares.
Li Zhan dragged Lin Xinyan all the way to Zong Jinghao’s office. The woman did not have the time to compose her thoughts when Li Zhan knocked on the door.
A deep voice was heard coming from the inside, saying, “Come in.”
Li Zhan was ready to go into the room. However, Lin Xinyan held onto the door frame tightly with her other hand, reluctant to go in.
Li Zhan creased his eyebrows. We have arrived. She has to go in no matter what.
Using the handcuff to his advantage, Li Zhan forcefully yanked her into the room.
Zong Jinghao was standing in front of the tall French windows. He was a tall man with broad shoulders and a small waist. His sleeves were folded, revealing his muscular forearms.
“What’s the matter?” Li Zhan was the first to speak.
Zong Jinghao slowly turned to face them.
The sunlight reflected into the room through the French window blinded Lin Xinyan’s vision. She wasn’t able to see Zong Jinghao’s expression, but deep down, she was nervous.
She couldn’t help but clench her fists, unable to phrase the bizarre events that had happened in her life.
Jinghao narrowed his eyes slightly as he strode over to her.
He stopped his tracks in front of Lin Xinyan.
Li Zhan grinned. “Meet my girlfriend.”
It has to be done. It’s the only reasonable explanation as to why I brought a woman here. Not to mention, we are even ‘holding each other’s hands’.
“Really?” Zong Jinghao took a glance at their “intertwined hands”.
“Of course. If not, why would I bring her with me? You called me here. What’s the matter? “ Li Zhan asked as he continued smiling.
Jinghao did not give Li Zhan an answer. In fact, Jinghao was very interested in his “girlfriend”.
Lin Xinyan felt threatened. She felt like saying something, but she did not know how to start the conversation or what to say.
Her mind was in a mess.
