Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xichen quickened his steps intentionally so that Lin Xinyan would be able to match Zong Jinghao’s pace. “Ruixi, let me hold your hand, alright?” Lin Xichen suggested while reaching out to the little girl’s hand.

Shaking her head, Lin Ruixi protested, “I want daddy to hold my hand!”

Lin Xichen went speechless.

Why did she not get my hint at all?

Letting out a sigh, Lin Xichen did not continue to insist. He decided to wait for a better time to matchmake them.

The masterplan was that Lin Xichen could hold Lin Ruixi’s hand and Zong Jinghao then could hold Lin Xinyan’s! What a pity that Lin Ruixi did not cooperate.

Lin Xichen’s plan failed.

A number of cars were at the entrance of the village. As the road was bumpy, it was not convenient for Bai Yinning to walk out of the village since he was wheelchair-bound. Hence, Bai Yinning left earlier than everyone else.

“It’s been a while since I last met you, Ms. Lin,” Bai Yinning smiled as he peered at the woman who approached.

Lin Xinyan greeted, “Thank you so much for your referral previously, Mr. Bai.”

Lin Xinyan did not continue the conversation. The way Bai Yinning spoke made it seem that they were close but they were never so close to begin with.

Bai Yinning could tell that Lin Xinyan was distancing herself. In response, he let out a laughter. Turning towards Zong Jinghao, whose face darkened by the second, Bai Yinning did not hold in his chuckles.

“You used to call me Yinning, and now you address me as Mr. Bai. Is it because of him?” Bai Yinning asked while pointing to Zong Jinghao.

If Bai Yinning wanted to take advantage of Zong Jinghao in the business world, it would be close to impossible. However, Bai Yinning could create some trouble for him through Lin Xinyan.

Almost instantly, Lin Xinyan knew Bai Yinning’s intentions.

Although things were awkward between them, it was obvious that Lin Xinyan knew who to side. If she responded to Bai Yinning’s request and addressed him by his name, it would definitely make Zong Jinghao feel upset. She did not want him to feel that way.

“I will definitely answer to your requests since you saved me before. I won’t forget that I still owe you a favor. However, Mr. Bai, I am now married. I don’t want to create any misunderstandings. I hope that you can understand and please don’t make things difficult for me.” Lin Xinyan replied.

Upon hearing her words, Zong Jinghao’s face brightened almost immediately while Bai Yinning went speechless.
