Stealing Your Heart

When the car window was wound down, Lin Xinyan saw the Madam’s appearance, which was as elegant and noble as ever. She was He Ruize’s mother.

Why does she want to see me?

Lin Xinyan tried to get some information from the driver. “Why does Madam want to see me?”

The driver shook his head. “I have no idea about this. I’m just told to invite you over.”

He Ruize was good to her, so she should agree to it regardless of the reasons. She then said, “Let’s go.”

Walking up to the car, Lin Xinyan greeted her politely, “Hello.”

Sitting inside the car, Xia Zhenyu smiled gracefully. “Are you free now, Miss Lin? There’s a cafe not far away. Shall we go there?”

Lin Xinyan nodded her head after hesitating for a second.

“Come into the car.”

The driver came and opened the door for her, while she bent over and got in the car.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the cafe.

Lin Xinyan followed Xia Zhenyu into the cafe.

Xia Zhenyu chose a relatively quiet place to sit down, whereas Lin Xinyan sat across from her. The waiter walked up to them and asked, “Excuse me; what would you like to order?”

Putting her bag on the sofa next to her, Xia Zhenyu looked at Lin Xinyan and asked, “What would you like to drink?”

“Just give me a glass of water,” Lin Xinyan replied calmly.

“Another one for me too. We’ll call you if needed.”

“Okay.”

The waiter left, and silence followed.

Lin Xinyan sat quietly, waiting for Xia Zhenyu to speak.
