Stealing Your Heart

She detected the presence of the man whom she loved wholeheartedly.

Although nothing odd had occurred, she had a strong sense of insecurity deep down, as though she had been drained.

Lin Xinyan turned around and wrapped her arm against the man’s wrist, placing herself in between his arms firmly, as if she were in desperate need of something to fill the void she detected.

“What’s wrong?” Zong Jinghao lowered his gaze and caressed her hair gently as he asked.

It was evident he knew something was wrong with her because she wasn’t her usual sprightly self.

She leaned against his chest and stated, “I’ll be fine soon. Please allow me to be in your arms for another few minutes.”

All Lin Xinyan needed was some time to collect her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Zong Jinghao returned the favor and held her firmly in between his arms silently.

He caressed her back gently with his gigantic and warm palm, providing her a sense of security and pacifying the anxious woman.

“Why are you here?” Lin Xinyan finally returned to her usual calm and collected self.

Zong Jinghao kissed her on the forehead and ran his fingers through her unkempt fringe, stating the reason, “My uncle invited me to join him for lunch. I’ve dropped by to pick you up and bring you over with me.”

Immediately, Lin Xinyan shuddered unwittingly because she knew something was wrong.

Li Jing had dropped by to ask her out for lunch as well, but the woman had changed her mind and departed in a hurry in the end.

Are these two different venues, or has it always been the same?

“Did your aunt call you?” Lin Xinyan decided to probe further.

“No,” Zong Jinghao replied and recalled he had received the call from Wen Qing instead.

Li Jing had changed her mind at the last minute. The so-called lunch might have been
