Stealing Your Heart

She walked over and noticed that the call was from Shen Peichuan, and her smile turned stiff. She tossed a glance at her son and said, “Don’t jump around too much, you’ll sweat. You won’t feel fresh anymore.”

“Alright,” Lin Xichen said, panting.

Zong Jinghao began to act strange after coming back.

Lin Xinyan wasn’t sure what happened to him. When she was bathing the kids, Guan Jing called him, presumably to talk about work matters. He sat down in front of his computer after the call and hadn’t gotten up since.

She answered the call and immediately said, “Gimme a second.”

“Alright,” Shen Peichuan said.

Lin Xinyan put down her towel in the bathroom and glanced at the scene behind her. The two kids were still hopping around on the bed while Zong Jinghao was still absorbed in his work. His slender fingers rapped on the keyboard, and he was completely oblivious to her going out.

Lin Xinyan held on tight to her phone and exited the room before closing the door behind her.

The moment the door closed, Zong Jinghao’s hands froze.

He glanced at the closed door as a thousand thoughts ran through his mind.

Lin Xinyan walked to the end of the corridor, looking down upon the underwhelming city skyline, peppered with neon lights. She didn’t know what to expect from Shen Peichuan.

However, she still had to face it, be it sooner or later.

She lowered her gaze. “Tell me.”

“Su Zhan’s grandmother is fine. You don’t have to worry as Su Zhan isn’t an unreasonable person, so he won’t blame you for anything. They saved He Ruize’s life too, so you don’t have to worry about him as well.”

Lin Xinyan heaved a huge sigh of relief. Thank goodness both the old lady and He Ruize were fine.

Even if He Ruize was a criminal, they shouldn’t take it upon themselves to dispose of him.

“I’m quite curious,” Shen Peichuan suddenly said.

“Of what?” Lin Xinyan asked.
