Stealing Your Heart

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 246

Buzz! Buzz!

Just slightly past dawn, Lin Xinyan’s phone vibrated on her bedside table.

Under the dim light, a woman was curled up in a man’s arms in the king-sized bed. She was sleeping sideways with her head on his arm as her silky black hair fell like a waterfall on the pillow.

Zong Jinghao was a light-sleeper, hence he opened his eyes the moment he heard the buzzing sound. Looking around for its source, the man finally fixated his gaze on the vibrating phone on the table.

Lin Xinyan seemed to be awoken by the buzz too. Her body moved in his arms as she let out a hum, seemingly displeased by the disturbance as her brows scrunched together.

Trying not to wake her, Zong Jinghao answered the call.

Since no caller ID was shown, the man had no idea who was calling.

Once the call went through, a man’s voice was heard from the other end.

“I remember you told me you want to treat me to a meal. Does that still count?”

Zong Jinghao grabbed his watch and checked the time. It was just 5.10 in the morning. What was with Bai Yinning for calling Lin Xinyan so early in the morning?

And even asked her to treat him to a meal?

As desperate as he was, shouldn’t he check the time before calling?

Zong Jinghao lowered his voice and replied intimidatingly, “I see you’re in good spirits, Mr. Bai.”

Bai Yinning froze, not expecting that it would be Zong Jinghao who picked up the call. But he recovered his composure swift enough and smiled politely, “Oh, I thought of asking Ms. Lin to have breakfast together. Could you let Ms. Lin answer the phone?”

Just the night before, Lin Xinyan had her sleep interrupted by Zong Jinghao to witness Yao Qingqing’s end. She had a hard time going back to sleep after that, and only managed to close her eyes after God knows how long. In her blurry state, the woman heard the man beside her talking and buried herself further in his warm arms. Not completely awake yet, Lin Xinyan asked in her soft and husky morning voice, “It’s so early… Who’s that…”

Zong Jinghao wanted to reject the invitation on her behalf.

On the other side, Bai Yinning’s features twitched upon hearing her soft moans. All these while, he had thought that Lin Xinyan and Zong Jinghao’s relationship was never good. But now… they were sleeping together, just like any other married couple.

Bai Yinning felt a hint of disappointment at the fact.

Zong Jinghao patted the woman’s back as he coaxed her back to sleep, “Hey, it’s just 10086 who called. Nothing important. Just sleep.”

Bai Yinning was rendered speechless by the customer service line reference.

What 10086? I’m no customer service line!
