Stealing Your Heart

“I am aware,” Lin Xinyan said. She’d figured it out since the first time Bai Yinning brought tea silk to her.

She was curious as to what Bai Yinning’s plans were. “He saved me because of this jade bangle. Do you think he has something to do with Yuxiu?”

She looked at Zong Jinghao. He didn’t like her, neither did he want to hear anyone speak her name.

However, she had a feeling that both the tea silk master and Bai Yinning had connections to Yuxiu, considering how the master had glanced at her jade bangle ever so discreetly. “Where did this bangle come from?” She asked.

Zong Jinghao didn’t know either. As a man, he never needed these kinds of things, and neither did his family tell him about the fact that they had a jade bangle as an heirloom.

“So you want to stay and figure things out?” Zong Jinghao asked, though it was obvious what the answer was.

This damn woman…

He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down before saying, “You don’t even know why he wants you to stay. Have you ever thought about what will happen to me or the kids if something happens to you?”

That was an oversight on her part, but the curiosity to find out who Yuxiu had outweighed the guilt. She didn’t see Yuxiu as a villain.

“You will protect me anyway,” she said, hugging his arm and pressing herself against his body.

Her sudden affection made Zong Jinghao freeze for a moment before recovering.

She checkmated him.

She was nowhere near being a submissive woman, and that made her difficult to control.

He couldn’t scold her or beat her, so he had no choice but to play along.

Zong Jinghao hugged her back. “What am I to do with you?”

Lin Xinyan rested her head on his collarbone and looked faraway. The reason why she wanted to find out more about Yuxiu was because of Zong Jinghao as well.

If this man wasn’t her children’s father, she wouldn’t have stepped into this mess.

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his thin waist. “I’ll protect myself.”
