Stealing Your Heart Chapter 527

As soon as she knocked on the door, someone from within answered the door. Zong Yanxi sprinted over and wrapped her arms around Zong Jinghao’s leg the moment she saw him. “Daddy!” She greeted her father lovingly.

Zong Jinghao was overjoyed. He had always enjoyed her daughter’s presence and the feeling of being needed by her.

He leaned over and lifted his daughter, inviting Qin Ya to join them, “Come on in. It’s my treat tonight. Feel free to order anything you want.”

“If that’s the case, I definitely won’t…” She couldn’t bring herself to finish her sentence the moment she saw the other figure that was present in the dining hall.

She darted a glance at Zong Jinghao as though she wanted him to explain himself and the reason the other man was present in the room.

Why is Su Zhan here?

“He’s here on his own,” Zong Jinghao explained. He wasn’t lying either because he wasn’t the one who had asked Su Zhan over.

Nevertheless, Qin Ya didn’t seem to be convinced at all.

Su Zhan, who had been in a foul mood throughout the day, lifted his head and looked in their direction. The moment he detected Qin Ya’s presence, he thought to himself for a few seconds before greeting, “Hey, aren’t you the one who’s in the exhibition?”

Meanwhile, Qin Ya tried to calm herself down and put on a nonchalant front as she entered the dining hall. She pretended as though she didn’t hear him and took a seat at the table.

She picked up the menu and asked, “Shall we place our orders?”

“Aunt Yanyan, feel free to order whatever you want! It’s Daddy’s treat tonight!” Zong Yanxi broke the silence and got ahead of everyone before others could respond.

Zong Jinghao pinched her daughter’s cheek in return once they took a seat together. She grinned, baring her flawless teeth as she asked, “Is it fine, Daddy?”

“Sure!” Zong Jinghao assured her daughter.

He had always given in to the request of his daughter. Hence, he wouldn’t turn down such a trivial request of hers.

“If that’s the case, I definitely won’t hold back!” Qin Ya flipped through the menu casually.

Zong Yanxi did Qin Ya’s heart good by praising her, “Please suit yourself, Aunt Yanyan! You deserve it because, all this while, you have been taking good care of us!”

In the dining hall, things were odd. Su Zhan leaned against the chair and couldn’t stop staring at Qin Ya and Zong Yanxi because he had never once encountered a woman by the name of Qin Yanyan.

Ellen was the one who had always been by Lin Xinyan’s side back in the day, but she had since made her way back to country A after the operation of the clothing store was terminated.

Upon seeing the attires made out of Tea Silk, Su Zhan immediately thought of Lin Xinyan. However, he had no solid evidence to confirm the latter’s involvement in the exhibition.

Finally, he could affirm his thought. Lin Xinyan was the mastermind behind the exhibition, and she had been pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Nonetheless, he couldn’t figure out the identity of the woman in front of him.

Qin Yanyan? Qin Ya? Qin? Is it a coincidence?

Actually, it sounds too much to be a coincidence! It sounds like Qin Ya has changed her name instead!

Since Qin Yanyan is a close acquaintance of Lin Xinyan and the kids, it’s obvious she’s Qin Ya!

Meanwhile, Zong Yanchen was an observant little boy. He managed to grasp the situation almost instantly. Apart from Su Zhan, everyone was aware of Qin Ya’s identity.

Whenever he recalled the misery Su Zhan had brought upon Qin Ya and caused her to undergo such a major facial reconstruction surgery, he felt reluctant to tell him the truth.

If he’s serious about Aunt Yanyan, he has to prove himself worthy!

Su Zhan knitted his eyebrows because he noticed the so-called dinner wasn’t a causal dinner. Zong Jinghao seemed to be up to something.

No matter how much of a fool he was, he could at least rule out the relationship amongst the parties present.

He suppressed his emotions and put on an ordinary front. In an attempt to figure out the truth, he engaged in an ordinary conversation with Zong Yanxi because she was the only innocent one in the hall.

“Ruixi, do you still remember me? It has been quite some time since we last met. Do you miss me?”

Zong Jinghao didn’t bring up the fact that the kids had changed their name. Therefore, Su Zhan wasn’t aware they addressed themselves differently nowadays.

Zong Yanxi wasn’t against the way Su Zhan addressed her as Ruixi because she had gotten used to it as well.

Zong Yanxi wrapped her arms around Zong Jinghao’s neck and brought herself up. She turned around, staring at Su Zhan as she beamed her reply, “Of course!”

“Do you miss me?” Su Zhan leaned over in another attempt to win the little girl over.

“I miss Daddy!” Zong Yanxi shook her head and asserted.

Occasionally, she would kiss Zong Jinghao. Since she had grown up, she finally learned the proper way to kiss and stopped drooling everywhere.

Zong Jinghao had gotten used to wiping her daughter’s lips clean because she would drool whenever she tried to kiss back in the day. Thus, it had become one of his habits.

In the meantime, Su Zhan was rendered speechless because he had run out of ideas to continue the conversation.
