Stealing Your Heart

During such occasions, the things people talked about were nothing more than business affairs. He Ruize was also biting the bullet while socializing. Lin Xinyan could see that he didn’t like such occasions, so she tugged He Ruize’s arm and whispered, “I want to get some fresh air outside.”

He Ruize took her hand, “I will take you to the back room.”

The lights, noise, conversations, and flatteries gradually faded out.

Passing through the corridor, they came to the back room, which was spacious, bright, and much quieter than the lobby. Occasionally, there were people standing in front of the window talking.

“You do not like to listen to those conversations, do you?” He Ruize smiled faintly. “I don’t like it either.”

He had no choice but to agree to come after being forced by Xia Zhenyu.

He didn’t like socializing, people scheming against each other, and doing everything possible to make money.

This might be due to his family background, as he was born rich and didn’t need to worry about money.

“I knew it. So, do you want to thank me for taking you out of that place?”

“How do you want me to thank you?” He Ruize leaned over. Lin Xinyan could clearly smell the breath of masculinity on his body, lingering in the air around her. She couldn’t help but try to pull away, but He Ruize held her waist.

“I used to think you were young, but unknowingly, you have grown up.” He paid attention to her before but had no other thoughts. He didn’t know since when he had such a feeling towards her.

Lin Xinyan felt that He Ruize was different from the one she knew. He was warm and always wore a gentle smile on his face, taking care of her, and caring for her like a big brother.

But now he had changed. He was always ‘flirting’ with her.

“You’ve changed.” Lin Xinyan turned her head, her hands clenching uneasily.

“You are an adult, so of course I can’t treat you as a child anymore, don’t you think so?” He gave a faint smile.

Lin Xinyan pushed him away. “But I’m your sister.”

He Ruize was caught off guard and took a step back. After returning to his senses, he looked at her. “Not a biological one.”

Lin Xinyan walked to the window and looked up at the stars in the sky. “I want to treat you as my brother.”

He Ruize looked at her back. Did she reject me?

“I might just know who the father of the baby inside my belly is,” she said in a light tone, as if to herself, and also to He Ruize.

He Ruize changed into a serious look and said, “Who is it?”
