Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan deliberately left out Li Jing’s intention. Instead, she said, “She told me you’re a golden boy, whereas I’m mediocre at best. She seems to imply that we’re not well-matched. After all, my family isn’t prominent, nor do I have immense riches. Therefore, we’re not equal in social status.”

Indeed, I don’t have all these. Chances are, I will never own any of it. The only thing I can do is to stand by his side. For better or for worse, we’ll face everything together.

Zong Jinghao didn’t say a word, merely glancing at her. Then, he took the driver’s seat and started the car.

At this, Lin Xinyan turned to stare at him. “Don’t you have anything to say?”

At her question, Wen Qing looked straight ahead with a tensed gaze.

I can’t confirm that Wen Qing was hiding something from me before, but I got the answer now. He can inform me alone if it were to invite us for a meal. There was no reason for Li Jing to go all the way to her boutique. For as long as I could remember, Li Jing was always the one contacting me. In fact, I hardly even receive calls from him.

Truth be told, it wasn’t as if Wen Qing felt reluctant to contact Zong Jinghao. But he preferred Li Jing to do the job in his stead, as it had become a habit.

Yet, he’s called me personally not once, but twice already. It goes to show that something is off. Moreover, Li Xinyan’s recent mood swings have further reinforced my suspicion. She must have known about this matter. Not that I can tell how much she knows.

“I won’t allow anyone to interfere with my life!”

Not even Wen Qing!

He had made himself clear that no one could stop him from getting whatever he liked.

Attempting to change the subject, Lin Xinyan purposely got close to him and leaned against his shoulder. “Do you believe in fate?”

“I don’t.” His answer was resolute as he believed only in himself.

Immediately, she lifted her head to peer at him and declared in a serious tone, “I believe. Don’t you think it was fate that brought us together?”

During that unexpected night, I assumed that we’d never cross paths again. But I’d never imagined him to be the partner of my arranged marriage. What a twist of fate!
