Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 834

Aunt Yu was worried, “You don’t look right.”

With her back facing Aunt Yu, Lin Xinyan said, “I’m fine. Go and serve the guests first.”

The older woman had no choice but to say yes.

Lin Xinyan finally fell onto the bed after Aunt Yu left. She felt extremely uneasy and uncomfortable while also being drenched in cold perspiration.

She forced herself to relax. Perhaps it isn’t that bad after all.

Picking up her mobile phone, she dialed Zong Jinghao’s number.

Wanyue Group’s President’s office.

At this moment, Zong Jinghao was dressed in a black shirt with a loose tie around his neck. His collarbone could vaguely be seen through the open collar and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. There were two piles of documents on his desk. He was concentrating fully on those in his hands and asked without looking up, “Have you not decided yet?”

Guan Jing sat in front of the desk and hung his head wordlessly.

“Isn’t it just about a woman? Look at how spineless you are. Are you still a man?” Zong Jinghao put his documents aside and took up another file.

“Of course you can say sarcastic things like these now that you have gotten yours. Back then, didn’t you do everything under the sky just for one woman…” Guan Jing refuted.

Zong Jinghao suddenly stopped flipping through those papers and shot a nonchalant look at his assistant. That immediately sent shivers down Guan Jing’s spine. So you can do what you want but I can’t.

“Erm, I was just joking, haha…”

“Get your ass back to work tomorrow. Holiday’s over.” Zong Jinghao gave his final pass to him.

Guan Jing said listlessly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’d mess things up?”

“No woman likes useless men. If you have nothing, who would want to be with you?” Zong Jinghao’s questions rendered Guan Jing speechless.

Gu Huiyuan was a tough woman. She would definitely look down on him then.

Guan Jing nodded and stood up, “Is there something I can help you with?”

Putting down his pen, the boss indicated with his chin that the assistant could take away both piles of documents that were sitting in front of him.

Guan Jing, “…….”

“Is this how you are squeezing every drop from me?”

“I am giving you a chance to show off your talents.” Zong Jinghao stretched his neck.

Buzz…

His mobile phone on the table rang. When he picked it up, there was a low voice from the other end. “Come back earlier tonight, I have something to talk to you about.”

Zong Jinghao could tell that there was something wrong with Lin Xinyan’s voice, so he asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?”

“No. Just come back earlier. I’ll wait up for you no matter how late.”

With that, she hung up. A scowl formed on Zong Jinghao’s face as he stared at the black screen, indicating that the call had ended. He then put his mobile phone down.

Guan Jing picked up all the documents from the desk, “I must have owed you in the past life.”

Zong Jinghao’s lips twitched, “I’ll give you a raise.”

Another raise. What could I say? To work I will go.
