Stealing Your Heart

The floor was covered in marble tiles, yet Lin Xinyan felt as though she was walking through cotton, making her feel insecure. She didn’t know what was in store for her.

The more she anticipated it, the more anxious she got.

She didn’t know if good news or bad news were waiting for me.

Their footsteps seemed to echo through the large courtyard.

Every echo sent ripples through her heart.

The door was red in color with intricate carvings on it, and there was a woman standing in front of a table with her back facing the door. She put her palms together, as though she was praying.

When they got to the door, Cheng Yuwen patted Lin Xinyan’s shoulder to tell her to stop moving. Lin Xinyan understood what he meant and nodded.

Cheng Yuwen lifted his foot over the doorstep and walked into the house.

“You still dare to come and see me?” The woman yelled, clearly angered.

Lin Xinyan shivered. That was definitely Yuxiu’s voice.

Her hands balled into fists by her sides.

Who in the world was she?

A million questions circled around in her mind, yet no one could answer them.

Cheng Yuwen stood behind her and looked at the table in silence. The memorials of the Cheng family ancestors were lined up neatly on it.

“I don’t want our family art and traditions to die just like that…”

“You’re stupid!” Cheng Yuxiu yelled, turning around. “We made a promise…”

She noticed Lin Xinyan standing at the door and cut herself off.
