Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan came to the hospital and saw He Ruize sitting at the corridor outside the rooms. His hands were placed on his knees, his back arched, and he seemed to be thinking.

He did not even realize that Lin Xinyan was already standing beside him.

“What are you thinking about?”

He Ruize looked up. He kept his emotions to a minimal when he saw it was Lin Xinyan. He looked towards the room and said, “Your mother’s moody.”

“Alright, take a rest, I’ll stay here.” Lin Xinyan was prepared.

He Ruize glanced at her stomach. “You need rest too.”

“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself.” Lin Xinyan gave him an effortless smile.

He Ruize nodded after a moment of silence. “Call me if there’s anything you need.”

Lin Xinyan hummed as an answer. He Ruize stood and walked out. Looking at his back, Lin Xinyan pursed her lips. Despite knowing him for a long time, she still did not know anything about him. She knew nothing about his family nor his background.

He was obviously thinking hard about something earlier, or else he would not have spaced out.

At this moment, He Ruize stopped and turned around to look at Lin Xinyan. “I heard from those woman. Someone had bribed them to say those things and splash paint on your house.”

Lin Xinyan nodded.

“Alright, Ruize. You can talk to me if there’s anything you’re worrying about too.” Lin Xinyan looked at him.

“I’m good.” He Ruize chuckled.

Lin Xinyan did not press on. Everyone had something that they did not want to discuss with others.

After He Ruize left, she did not enter the room. Instead, she thought about the identity of the person who bribed those neighbors.

Lin Yuhan? Shen Xiuqing?

Although, they did not know that she was pregnant.
