Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan knew that she wouldn’t have chosen Peichuan to help her out if she didn’t have a proper reason. She chose to confide in him because she knew he could be trusted and was smart enough to keep his mouth shut.

“I want to go meet Bai Yinning.” She’d been to Bai Yinning’s place before and knew which hotel he was staying in.

Hearing that, Shen Peichuan’s eye twitched. He knew very clearly how much Zong Jinghao hated Bai Yinning’s guts.

“Peichuan, you’re Jinghao’s closest friend. What do you think I should do?” Lin Xinyan was torn.

She was worried that her selfishness would hurt Zong Jinghao.

After all, Cheng Yuxiu was his mother.

However, Shen Peichuan was confused. “What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about Cheng Yuxiu. If she really is Jinghao’s biological mother, should I tell him?” She stared at Shen Peichuan, hoping for an answer that would soothe her conscience.

“How’s can that be? This could never happen. It’s impossible!” Shen Peichuan couldn’t believe it.

That was way too strange of a scenario.

How could Cheng Yuxiu possibly be Jinghao’s mother?

One shouldn’t make jokes like that.

“I mean it. If it turned out to be true, should I tell him?” Lin Xinyan’s expression and tone of voice didn’t seem like she was joking. At that moment, Shen Peichuan went silent.

After a long time, he finally started speaking again. “I don’t know. It seems like something that would take a toll on him. How would you feel if you found out that you hated your own mom for so long? How’s he supposed to feel about this?”

Then he turned towards Lin Xinyan. “Anyway, is it even true?”

It just seemed too strange to be true. Cheng Yuxiu as Jinghao’s mother?
