Stealing Your Heart Chapter 405
“God knows what that child is… “ Suddenly, Mrs. Chen realized Li Zhan wanted to see Chen Shihan. Mrs. Chen had always thought that the two would make a good match. After all, they were about the same age, and they had known each other since childhood.
Thinking that it was a good time to play matchmaker, Mrs. Chen changed her tone, saying, “I’ll go get her. You young people should talk more often.”
Li Zhan was more than happy to comply because that was why he had come over, after all.
Chen Shihan was going through all the news about Zong Jinghao on financial channels when Mrs. Chen opened the door to her room. “Shihan… “
Chen Shihan immediately slammed her laptop shut. “Mom! Why didn’t you knock first?”
“Sorry. I forgot.” Mrs. Chen then glanced at the laptop. “Where were you looking at?”
“Nothing,” answered Chen Shihan as she put her laptop away. “What is it?”
“Ji’s here to see you,” informed Mrs. Chen. That piece of news stunned Chen Shihan. “Wen Xiaoji’s back?”
Mrs. Chen nodded. “I heard he just got back recently, and now he’s here to see you, so… “
“Mom,” interrupted Chen Shihan with an ‘okay’ sign to stop her mother because she already knew that the woman was going to convince her how good a match she and Li Zhan would make.
Mrs. Chen had no idea that Chen Qing wanted their daughter to marry Zong Jinghao.
Chen Shihan stood up and walked to the door, but Mrs. Chen was not ready to give up just yet. “Shihan, the Wen family would make a perfect… “
“Mom,” interrupted Chen Shihan once again as she was getting annoyed. “I don’t like him, so please stop trying to get us together, okay?”
Mrs. Chen could not understand why Chen Shihan did not like a nice guy with a great family background like Li Zhan.
“Shouldn’t girls go for guys they’re familiar with? Li Zhan comes from a decent family that has a great relationship with ours. Why not consider him?”
To stop her mother from nagging, Chen Shihan informed her seriously, “Mom, there’s someone else that I like.”
“Who?” Chen Shihan had already rejected countless men because of her high standards. It was only natural for Mrs. Chen to be curious about the person who managed to caught her daughter’s attention, but Chen Shihan did not divulge her any information. “You’ll know by then.”
After that, Chen Shihan slipped into her slippers and headed downstairs. “When did you come back?”
Li Zhan lifted his head to look at Chen Shihan. She was smiling at him as she walked down the stairs. “Not too long ago.”
After joining Li Zhan on the couch, Chen Shihan grabbed an apple and started munching. “To what do I owe the honor?”
