Stealing Your Heart

Zong Jinghao narrowed his gaze while a hint of joy hid in his eyes.

Did she get jealous? You’ll only feel that way when you really care about someone.

Chen Shihan felt a little embarrassed as she was a daughter of a prominent family. Naturally, most people would try to fawn on her and please her. Even her circle of friends were people who were her cliques. No one had ever dishonored her in her life.

She suppressed her emotions and stated, “Why? Are you upset, Mrs. Zong?”

Lin Xinyan responded eloquently, “I don’t know what you mean, Ms. Chen. Why do I have to be upset? Did you do something that might irk me? Considering that you’re from a distinguished family, I doubt you’d do anything unscrupulous that might make me unhappy, right?”

After seeing Lin Xinyan’s pure and innocent face, Chen Shihan thought the former was like a harmless rabbit that could be easily teased. But by no means, the latter knew she would be retaliated by the first-mentioned.

At last, Chen Shihan’s smile vanished. Her face turned ashen at Lin Xinyan’s words.

Even Wen Qing looked somewhat surprised, as Lin Xinyan had always carried herself with modesty and was the quintessence of a homemaker.

I thought Chen Shihan was enough to deal with her. But she’s way beyond my expectations. It seems like I’ve underestimated her.

To break the awkward tension, he declared, “Alright, it’s my treat today. Let’s enjoy ourselves here, okay?”

Without delay, he beckoned to the server to take the order, then passed the menu to Chen Shihan and said, “Order whatever you want.”

He then flipped through the menu and ordered a few dishes that were to Zong Jinghao’s liking. He was deliberately neglecting Lin Xinyan.

Chen Shihan finally saved her skin, so she glared at Lin Xinyan while raising a smirk on her face. So what if you’re good with your words. Hmph!

Wen Qing had never liked her. Furthermore, he had openly expressed his negative feelings about her and wished for her to leave Zong Jinghao.

The other day, Chen Shihan had overheard Wen Qing’s conversation through the phone with her father about his desire for Zong Jinghao to get a divorce from Lin Xinyan.
