Stealing Your Heart

“Mom, I’m sorry, don’t leave me—”

Zong Jinghao was taken aback. He looked downwards at her hands holding onto his sleeve, and his gaze slowly stopped at her face. She looked like she was in pain, as if she was in a nightmare.

“Lin Xinyan?” Zong Jinghao frowned.

Lin Xinyan could not hear him. She looked like she was trapped in some horror. She looked anxious, but quickly, she returned back to a state of calmness. Her hand let go of Zong Jinghao, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Zong Jinghao slowly got up and looked at her for two seconds, before leaving the room.

Bai Zhuwei was sitting on the couch, her hands gripped tightly onto the cup. Even an additional second of Zong Jinghao staying in the room was a torture for her.

Wasn’t this woman supposed to be in the hospital taking care of her mother?

Why did she have time to come back?

Bai Zhuwei had found out that Guan Jing was investigating on Lin Xinyan earlier. So when Guan Jing sent someone to Country A to check on her life, Bai Zhuwei’s men had went even earlier and killed the woman who introduced Lin Xinyan to the job on that night. They made sure to make it look like an accident where the woman fell to her death from an upper floor.

And that was why Guan Jing did not find out the vital part of that night’s happenings.

She spent much effort, fearing that Zong Jinghao would spend too much time with Lin Xinyan. She bribed the neighbors in Zhuang Zijin’s district to force her into the hospital, so that Lin Xinyan would not have time to spend with Zong Jinghao.

What she had not expected was that this woman was not staying at the hospital!

And she was even carried by Zong Jinghao in his arms.

The more Bai Zhuwei thought about it, the more she wanted to break down.

And she did not realize that her thoughts were all showing on her face.

When Zong Jinghao walked out of the room, he saw Bai Zhuwei’s facial expressions before she managed to control them. He walked over silently.

Bai Zhuwei stood up; her questioning tone nearly seeped out before her rationality took over. “Is Ms. Lin sick?”

Zong Jinghao did not answer her immediately. Instead, he sat on the couch, crossed his long legs, then looked up at Bai Zhuwei with an ambiguous look.

Bai Zhuwei’s heart dropped. She was afraid of this Zong Jinghao. Carefully, she said, “Hao—”

“Mmm.” “What’s wrong?” There was a faint smile on his face.

It seemed like there was nothing wrong, and so Bai Zhuwei felt herself relax. She carefully sat near him, and he did not reject her.

Her anxiety lessened.
