Stealing Your Heart

Zong Jinghao’s expression returned to normal. “If there is nothing bothering you, just go back.”

She clenched her fists. She was conflicted. “Could you tell me why you are doing this?”

Did he know that acting like that meant he loved her?

Deep in her heart, she did not believe that Zong Jinghao would fall in love with a woman like her yet she could not understand his behavior.

She could not find any other explanations.

Zong Jinghao stood up.

Why?

He only knew that he wanted this woman to return to her original status. “You’re the wife my mother arranged for me. Naturally, I want to live up to her wishes.”

Lin Xinyan wanted to laugh, but she could not.

She did not know what expression she should be showing—happy or sad?

“It’s only because of your mother’s arrangement, that’s why you want me to go back?” Lin Xinyan felt conflicted and lost. She did not know why she had her hopes up even when he said no.

Zong Jinghao turned around with his back facing her. The expression on his face was hidden in the light. He gave a faint hum.

This should have been the expected answer.

She was disappointed.

She smiled bitterly and said, “Do you think I’m still suitable to be in that position? Aren’t you about to engage with He Ruilin? Is it fun making a fool out of me here?”

His face tensed, like a pulled bowstring.

He had been trying to ignore the fact that Lin Xinyan once had someone else and had a child.

This was what he did not wish to think about nor mention. Now that she had said it out, he had to face it.

“I won’t marry He Ruilin. It’s also not unsuitable for you to be in that position.” He said quietly.

Lin Xinyan squeezed out a smile. “Are you being serious?”

Through the dim light, Zong Jinghao turned around and looked at the woman facing him. “You’re not any virgin, nor am I a righteous man. We’re pot and kettle, so don’t make any comparisons.”

She knew it, but she still felt disappointed when those words came out from his mouth.

He was a normal man. It would be strange if nothing had happened between He Ruilin and him. After all, she had been with him for quite a while.

She knew that.

She understood it.
