Stealing Your Heart

Wen Qing also signaled to her that she didn’t need to help. Li Jing could manage alone.

“Today, I just thought about your mother. So, have a drink with me.” Wen Qing poured some wine for Zong Jinghao.

Li Jing interjected, “How can you be drinking when you haven’t recovered?”

“I’m not in a good mood. Besides, a little wine won’t kill me.” Li Jing was stumped by Wen Qing’s response.

Wen Qing raised his glass, clinking it with Zong Jinghao’s. “Just one glass.”

Once a while, Wen Qing would invite Zong Jinghao for a drink whenever he missed Wen Xian. Hence, the man wasn’t suspicious of anything as he drank.

Today, Wen Qing was really in a bad mood when he thought about Wen Xian. He was afraid that Jinghao wouldn’t turn out to be Wen Xian’s son.

Although he wanted to find out the truth, he was also afraid that it would prove his worst fears to be true.

Feeling depressed, he remarked, “Jinghao, do you know that I have always regretted letting your mother marry into the Zong family?”

If only I didn’t prioritize the interest of the two families, perhaps Wen Xian wouldn’t have died then.

Every time he thought about how his sister had died at such a young age, he felt heartbroken.

“We knew she didn’t love Zong Qifeng, and yet we forced her to marry him for the sake of the family’s interest. In the end…”

Wen Qing gulped a mouthful of wine.

As for Zong Jinghao, his expression was calm. He didn’t show any emotion. After so many years, he was able to keep his composure whenever this topic was brought up.

“I really regretted it. Your father disappointed me too. I thought he was someone loyal, but in the end… he betrayed their marriage and caused me to lose my only sister.” Wen Qing banged the table with his fist in frustration.

Lin Xinyan looked at him. Despite being at fault, his feelings for his sister are true.

He just wanted the best for her; what’s so wrong with that?

Everyone had their own interests and dilemmas in that situation.

If someone must be blamed, it will have to be fate for making the wrong choices.

“That’s all in the past now. Jinghao doesn’t come often. Why do you have to talk about such depressing matters?” Li Jing took away the wine bottle.
