Stealing Your Heart

Very quickly, Lin Xinyan understood Zong Jinghao’s intentions.

“Would the next step be me going out alone to lure him out?”

“No need for that.”

He would never let Lin Xinyan take this risk even if he was confident he could get He Ruize with this one shot. No matter how, he could not let Lin Xinyan be the bait.

“I’ll find someone to stand in for you.”

“You think He Ruize is stupid?” Lin Xinyan interrupted him. “We have known each other too long. He knows me too well. Even if you can find someone who looks like me, he might not be fooled.”

She could have no peace of mind if He Ruize was not caught. He was like a time bomb and it was unknown when he would blow up.

For her own safety and that of her two kids, she wanted to resolve this problem as soon as possible.

“Just let me do it.” She looked at Zong Jinghao solemnly. She knew what he was worried about. She was willing to trust him, believing that he could protect her.

Seeing him hesitate, Lin Xinyan said deliberately, “Is it because you lack confidence in yourself?”

Zong Jinghao gazed at her for a while. Softly he said, “Don’t agitate me. No matter how foolproof our plans, there is always the risk of something unexpected. I cannot put you at risk.”

Lin Xinyan cuddled up in his embrace. “I have faith in you. His existence distresses me.”

Zong Jinghao leaned backwards. His face was hidden in shadows and his facial expression could not be seen. Lin Xinyan was silent, quietly lying on his chest, letting him digest the implications of this matter.

After some time, he spoke suddenly, “Go back to sleep.”

For the past two days, she hardly slept. That was why she could fall asleep on the sofa just now. Besides, she did not sleep for long. Lin Xinyan knew that he was going out to discuss the matter with Shen Peichuan and so she laid down obediently.

Zong Jinghao put a blanket over her, saying, “I’ll be back soon.”

“Yeah.” Lin Xinyan did not feel sleepy at all. Nevertheless, to give Zong Jinghao a peace of mind, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Zong Jinghao waited for her to fall asleep before getting up and leaving the room. As soon as he left, Lin Xinyan who had fallen asleep opened her eyes again. She was tired but she couldn’t sleep after learning about Zong Jinghao’s plan.

Wrapped in a blanket, she got up and walked to the window. Through the window, she could feel the biting cold wind outside.

Whoosh, whoosh. The wind swayed the branches of the trees.
