Stealing Your Heart

“What are you doing?” Liu was holding a cup of water and standing in front of the kitchen when she asked Lin Xinyan who was about to make a call.

Lin Xichen frowned when he noticed that it wasn’t mommy’s voice, but he still thought that that person over the phone was mommy. He tried to remain calm but failed to do so, and could only ask with a shivering voice, “Mommy, is that you?”

Stunned for a while, Lin Xinyan wanted to ignore Liu and answer her son. She wished to tell him that he didn’t have to worry about her as she’s fine, yet the phone was seized by Liu. She ended the call immediately and said, “Didn’t young master forbid you from making any phone calls? Did you forget?”

Lin Xinyan looked at Liu and said, “It’s true that your young master saved me, but don’t you think it’s a bit too much for him to forbid me to contact my family?”

This indeed seemed to be unreasonable, yet she believed Bai Yinning did it with a reason. She then said, “Young master must be doing it for a reason, and you just have to obey whatever he says.”

“Do you know that my family will be worried about me if they can’t get in touch with me?” Lin Xinyan tried to persuade her.

Liu held the telephone close to her chests, as if she was afraid that Lin Xinyan would snatch it from her. She admitted that what Lin Xinyan said made sense, yet she couldn’t disobey her young master.

“Liu…”

“Don’t talk about it anymore. Let me help you walk and get into the house.” Liu put the telephone on the dining table to ensure that Lin Xinyan couldn’t reach it. She then ran towards her to help her up and said, “Let’s go. Please don’t make things difficult for me. If you really need to contact your family, you may talk to our young master about it. I definitely won’t stop you if he agrees.”

Lin Xinyan knew nothing about Bai Yinning and was even unaware about the motive that he forbade her from making phone calls.

“Liu, have you been here for long?” Lin Xinyan was secretly sounding her out in an attempt to get more information about Bai Yinning.

“Yes, I’ve always been taking care of young master.” Lin was rather innocent and answered it right away when Lin Xinyan asked her the question.

“Why is there only him here? Where’re his parents?” As Lin Xinyan was afraid that she might suspect her intention, she added, “Since the house is so big, it would be quite lonely for him to live here alone.”

“I’ve never seen his mother and had only seen his father before. But since his father passed away, he’s the only one left in this house.”

“Oh. What’s his job?” Lin Xinyan pretended to be inexperienced when she looked around the house and said, “It seems that he is very wealthy.”

“You might not know him since this is your first time being in Baicheng, yet everyone in Baicheng knows him.” Liu was rather proud of the Bai family when she said, “Even though young master couldn’t stand, he is still an extraordinary man. More than 70 percent of the residents in Baicheng work for the corporation of the Bai family. He has single-handedly provided jobs to numerous people.”

Her eyes sparkled in pride when she talked about Bai Yinning.

70 percent? That’s a great deal indeed.

“How many residents are in Baicheng?” Lin Xinyan asked again.
