Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 929

“Does love have anything to do with age?” Zong Yanxi asked him instead with a tough attitude. “If you don’t let me go, President Jiang, I’ll sue you for harassment.”

Jiang Mohan let out a throaty chuckle. “You resemble her with your silver tongue.”

Zong Yanxi turned her head away in a panic. “You look like a gentleman, but it turns out you’re a hypocrite who bullies a woman!”

Jiang Mohan leaned in to press his lips against her ear. The moment their skin touched, Zong Yanxi widened her eyes as goosebumps ran through her skin.

Smirking, he said in an alluring voice, “Ms. Lin, you have to make some sacrifices if you want to achieve your goals. If you can be my girlfriend, I’ll gladly give you what you want.”

Zong Yanxi refused firmly, “I’ll never betray my boyfriend!”

“I don’t believe you.”

After speaking, he let go of Zong Yanxi.

He was certain that she would definitely go to him.

Zong Yanxi shot him a fierce glare. “Shameless!”

“Since you think so, I won’t refute it.” Jiang Mohan sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of wine.

He tilted his head back and downed it. When he put down the glass, he added, “I look forward to your new proposal, Ms. Lin.”

Clenching her fists tightly in anger, Zong Yanxi replied coldly, “I’ll definitely come up with a proposal that you’re satisfied with, President Jiang!”

After that, she strode out of the cabin and went down the ramp. Tian Qifeng was seen leaning on the lamppost, seemingly waiting for her.

“Didn’t I tell you to leave? Why are you still here?” Zong Yanxi frowned.

“I’m responsible for protecting you. Although you ask me to leave, I can’t actually leave. Let’s get in the car. I’ll take you back to the hotel.” Unlocking the car, Tian Qifeng walked toward the car and opened the door.

Zong Yanxi walked over and got into the car. Suddenly remembering that she had to arrange for Guan Jing to meet Gu Xian today, she asked, “What time is it?”

“Nine o’clock,” replied Tian Qifeng as he started the car.

He checked the time a moment ago as he was planning to go inside to find Zong Yanxi if she still did not come out.

“It’s nine o’clock?” Zong Yanxi hurriedly took out her phone. She was worried that Gu Xian would be anxious as they were supposed to meet Guan Jing for dinner.

“Are you calling Mr. Guan?” Tian Qifeng looked at her from the rearview mirror. “If so, I can only tell you that he’s already left. He couldn’t reach you on your phone, so he asked me to pass you the message.”

“What? He’s left?” She took out her phone, but the screen wouldn’t light up as it had turned off automatically when it ran out of battery.

No wonder I didn’t receive Gu Xian’s call, either.

I promised to let him meet Guan Jing but I stood him up. He must be worried now that he can’t get in touch with me.

She told Tian Qifeng Gu Xian’s address; she wanted to find him first.

However, Gu Xian was not home when she reached his place. And given it was long past working hours, there was also no one was in his office except for security guards.

“Why don’t you explain to him tomorrow?” Tian Qifeng suggested.

Having no other options, Zong Yanxi could only return to the hotel first and have her phone charged before she called him.

The car soon arrived at the main entrance of the hotel. When she got off the car, she saw Gu Xian sitting by the fountain at the hotel entrance, looking dejected.

She hurried over to him.

“Gu Xian.”

As Gu Xian looked up and saw her, he stood up in surprise but fury soon took over his face. “Zong Yanxi, what are you trying to do? You’ve promised to let me meet him. I started preparing in the afternoon, deciding on the clothes to wear and thinking of what to say. Although I was nervous and hesitant, I still wanted to see him and talk to him. But when it was time, I couldn’t reach you at all. If you don’t want me to meet him, you can just tell me directly. Why lie to me again and again?”
