Stealing Your Heart Chapter 655

Qin Ya still wanted to refuse, but Lin Xinyan held her hand tightly.

Su Zhan didn’t show up throughout the whole ceremony, likely due to the injuries he sustained on his face. He probably wanted to avoid Qin Ya as well. But surely he wouldn’t hide during the banquet too?

A meal would still be waiting for him.

Lin Xinyan effectively wanted Qin Ya to know how Su Zhan felt about her.

She could tell that Su Zhan was sad.

Qin Ya pursed her lips and said nothing. She noticed that given the nature of the relationship between Su Zhan and Zong Jinghao, there was no way he’d miss the wedding. The fact that he was missing in action at all was strange.

I wonder why Lin Xinyan wants me to come with her. Does it have to do with Su Zhan? wondered Qin Ya.

Since there was no mention of this person, Qin Ya decided not to ask.

Lin Xinyan patted her hand. “You’re coming with me then.”

Qin Ya lowered her head and agreed.

Another knock was heard at the door. This time, it was a staff member who had come over to inform Lin Xinyan to get ready. The banquet had already begun.

Qin Ya confirmed that she was aware of this and shut the door.

The wedding banquet was well underway when suddenly the lounge door was pushed open. Zong Jinghao strolled in.

Lin Xinyan asked, “Why are you here?”

Zong Jinghao mentioned that he wanted to introduce Lin Xinyan to some of the foreign branch operatives from earlier on.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and carefully helped her up from the sofa, asking, “Are you tired?”

Lin Xinyan nodded.

She was prone to bouts of physical weakness which were likely caused by her pregnancy.

“I’ll bring you around to meet some people, then take you back to your room to rest,” said Zong Jinghao. Lin Xinyan could not avoid socializing today as he wanted to introduce her to his circle.

Qin Ya accompanied them from behind as they walked to the wedding reception together.

Zong Jinghao first took Lin Xinyan to meet the other people he worked with. Apart from Shen Peichuan and Su Zhan, the company also had a cadre of talented professionals who were very capable at their jobs.

“How could they delay the announcement of the identity of those kids until now? They’re already so big!” As Zong Jinghao brought Lin Xinyan to this table, they overheard some of the guests discussing the revelation from earlier.

It wasn’t just them, but plenty of the other attendees had been surprised and slightly unhappy as well. They never anticipated Zong Jinghao to already have kids, let alone kids of this age. There was plenty of gossip about how he managed to keep such a big secret under wraps as well.

On such a joyous occasion, it was only natural that the guests would propose toasts to celebrate the happy couple. Under normal circumstances, they would have been obligated to accept, but Zong Jinghao had been diligently drinking on Lin Xinyan’s behalf. Nobody could say anything, of course. It was unreasonable to expect a pregnant woman to participate in something like this.

Zong Jinghao did not linger and promptly went to greet other guests, flitting from table to table. Soon enough, he came to the table shared by both Tang Che and his brother-in-law, Li Qirui.

Li Qirui stood up with a glass of wine in his hands. With a smile, he said, “You sly old fox, no wonder you’ve kept her tucked away! If I have a wife as lovely as her, I’d keep her hidden away too!”

“Congratulations to you both!” piped up Tang Che as well, and the three men clinked glasses.

“We’ll catch up another day.” Tang Che knew that they still had many guests to entertain and decided not to take up too much of their time.

“Of course, I’ll make arrangements,” replied Zong Jinghao.

Other guests had come to greet them and make idle chit-chat too. They were important people, so the couple could not just brush them off.
