Stealing Your Heart

She jolted up in shock and felt cold sweat travelling down her body at the contact. “Who are you?” she nervously asked with a trembling voice.

He Ruize turned his head and pulled down his mask. Lin Xinyan’s face paled as soon as she recognized the face.

It was He Ruize. The man she feared the most. He was the one who imprisoned and hurt her.

“Let me go!” she shouted.

“No!” He gritted his teeth as the hand on her wrist tightened its grip.

It had been so long since he last met her so of course he wouldn’t let go!

The scene caused those who were passing by to stop and look at them.

Lin Xinyan didn’t wish to be taken away from him again, and she shouted, “I don’t know you! Please let me go immediately! Or else I’ll call the police!” Her loud voice attracted people’s attention.

He panicked but managed to calm himself down as he pulled her into a hug. “Don’t make a big scene.”

He released her before explaining to the crowd. “I’m so sorry for that. She’s my girlfriend. We’re just having a little quarrel.”

A sigh was heard after that and someone approached them to help him persuade her, “Little girl, that attitude is not good. There are so many people here. If you continue quarrelling with your boyfriend like this, he’d hurt his pride.”

“I’m not his girlfriend. I don’t even know who he is.” Lin Xinyan furiously shook her head.

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault, Yan. I shouldn’t have angered you. Can we stop quarrelling? Let’s go home now.”

He wrapped his arm around her waist and dragged her out. Nobody helped her since they thought that is was a quarrel between the ‘couple’.

On the contrary, they were supporting He Ruize. They thought that the woman was so ignorant that she didn’t care about her boyfriend’s image in public.

No one would help her. She clenched her hands and sank down, making it hard for him to pull her. When he was grasping her, she held his arm and bit on it harshly.

He Ruize grunted in pain as his grip loosened. She took this opportunity to escape from him. When she was about to run, a stranger pulled her arm.

“Don’t be stubborn. Can’t you see how hurt your boyfriend is from the bite?”
