Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 992

When all the dishes were served, the waiter left the room. Zong Yanxi started the ball rolling. “Mr. Jiang, say whatever you wanted to say.”

Jiang Mohan didn’t look up. “I told you that I wanted to speak to you privately.”

He was upset to see how close Zong Yanxi was to Tawan.

“But I don’t want to meet with my ex-husband alone behind my boyfriend’s back. Please speak your mind in front of him. I want to avoid any misunderstanding in the future because he means a lot to me.”

Having said that, her eyes fell upon Tawan as she declared affectionately, “I used to be blinded by love. But now, I’m glad that I had the chance to meet him.”

It was obvious to everyone present that her words were a jibe at Jiang Mohan.

At that moment, Tawan added what he sincerely felt. “Fate keeps its own time.”

He was trying to hint that he didn’t mind the fact that Zong Yanxi was married before.

Knowing that Tawan was serious, Zong Yanxi quickly averted her gaze from him.

The dinner no longer felt like one as everyone was distracted by their own thoughts and hardly focused on the food.

Tawan picked up one of the silkworm pupae recommended by the waiter earlier. After being cooked in a different manner by the chef, the silkworm pupae were no longer recognizable. The chef had prepared it meticulously so that it looked tantalizing to everyone. He then served Zong Yanxi some. “You’re too thin.”

The waiter had mentioned it was a nutritious dish, so he thought it was a good idea for her to have some.

“She can’t eat that. The protein content is too high and will cause her to have an allergic reaction,” Jiang Mohan reminded.

When Tawan was about to take it back, Zong Yanxi stopped him. She retorted, “That was then. I’m no longer allergic now.”

Just as she spoke, she put it in her mouth and swallowed it. After that, she looked at Jiang Mohan and declared. “Don’t think that you know me that well. I’m no longer the same person I was.”

With that, she put another piece into her mouth.

Jiang Mohan watched in silence. “Is it worth sacrificing your health to prove a point?”

“If you stay away from me, my health will never be better,” Zong Yanxi countered frostily.

Jiang Mohan stared at her for a few seconds. “Let’s meet privately another time.”

With that, he stood up and walked out of the room.

Zong Yanxi yelled at him, “I really don’t want to see you again.”

Jiang Mohan stopped in his tracks briefly before striding away.

Meanwhile, Zong Yanxi and Tawan were left in the room. After a short silence, Tawan apologized, “I didn’t know…”

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go.” Zong Yanxi pretended as if it were nothing while all Tawan could do was nod.

Jiang Mohan had taken care of the bill. The moment they walked out of the restaurant, Tawan looked around but couldn’t find a pharmacy. “I’ll send you home.”
