Stealing Your Heart

Cheng Yuxiu replied in the affirmative with a faint hum.

“Then is he willing to stop?” Lin Xinyan asked eagerly.

Cheng Yuxiu took a deep breath and shook her head. “No. He seems to be aware of Jinghao’s identity, but I will not let him continue to investigate.”

Before Lin Xinyan could tell her that Zong Jinghao found out about Bai Yinning, her phone vibrated on the dining table.

It showed Shen Peichuan’s number.

Lin Xinyan looked at Cheng Yuxiu and said, “Excuse me while I answer the call.”

She walked to the window and pressed the answer button. “Hello?”

“It’s me. I investigated what Jinghao asked me to.”

Lin Xinyan’s nerves tensed, and she straightened her back. “Go ahead,” she prompted.

“It might not be clear over the phone. Let’s talk about it when we meet.”

Lin Xinyan thought for a while and said, “Okay.”

After hanging up the call, she put her phone in her pocket and walked back to the dining room. Seeing that Cheng Yuxiu was looking at the sea cucumber in her bowl, she smiled and said, “Mom, you must be hungry too.”

She took a bowl from the kitchen and transferred some sea cucumbers from her bowl. “Please don’t mind it. I haven’t touched it yet.”

Cheng Yuxiu grabbed her hand to stop her. “I’m not hungry. Look how thin you are. You should eat more. And don’t get involved with Bai Yinning. He is trouble personified.”

Lin Xinyan agreed to her request.

Knowing Zong Jinghao’s temper, she didn’t want to be involved with Bai Yinning, anyway.

Cheng Yuxiu returned to her room, and Lin Xinyan forced herself to finish the sea cucumbers. After downing the last of it with a mouthful of water, she put on her clothes and went out.

She drove to meet Shen Peichuan at the designated located.

They were meeting at a bar, and because it was daytime, there weren’t many people. Shen Peichuan was sitting in a booth, drinking.

Lin Xinyan entered the bar, and he asked, “What would you like to drink?”

“Just give me juice. She sat down.
