Stealing Your Heart

Time stood still.

Lin Xinyan stood there swaying, as if she would fall down in the next second.

Zong Jinghao looked at her near-desperate eyes, and said clearly, “It was me that night.”

She was so shocked at Zong Jinghao’s words that she was in a state of stupefaction as if she had gotten an electric shock.

She stood rooted to the spot like a stake.

“W-W-W-What did you say?” Suddenly, she covered her face, crying and laughing at the same time. “How could it be? How could it be? How could it be you?”

She couldn’t believe it, as she paced around in front of the bed. How could it be?

Her leg accidentally hit the edge of the bed, and she fell on the bed. She then tugged at her hair vigorously. “He Ruize did a check for me back then. He said, he said… that it was a local man that night. How could it be you?”

Zong Jinghao grabbed her hand that was scratching herself, and put his finger under her chin, forcing her to look at him. “What did you say? You did a check?”

Her eyes were still wet.

She looked at him apprehensively, and couldn’t speak for a long time, as if her mouth was filled with ice cubes. She withdrew her hand that was held by Zong Jinghao, brushed his cheek with her fingers, and slid down to his neck, his collar, and his shoulder. “I once found a bite mark on your shoulder… I suspected it, so I asked He Ruize to help me investigate. Later he told me… that he was a local man that night.”

Slowly, she calmed down. Could it be that my suspicion back then was true? He Ruize lied to me?

He Ruize had been taking care of her and helping her. He also often said that Xichen and Ruixi were pitiful without a father.

In fact, he has always known the truth and has been hiding it from me?

She looked up. “Did he lie to me?”

Her hand was cold. Zong Jinghao stretched out his hand to place it over her hand, and the hot palm tightly wrapped around her cold hand.

At this moment, no word could express his feelings, so he turned them into a kiss.

Lin Xinyan still felt like she was having a dream, as everything was so ethereal and unreal, like a bubble that would burst with a single poke.

The scorching heat from him that was close at hand was so real and hot.

“Have you investigated thoroughly?”
