Stealing Your Heart

He was happy that she was here with him, but he was also sad that she was here for another man.

Lin Xinyan didn’t want to waste any more time with him. “Your dishonesty really disappointed me. You probably know exactly why I’m here. Tell me, what will finally stop you from holding onto this? I’m not stopping you from getting your revenge on Wen Qing. I don’t care if you live or die.

However, I will never allow you to use Jinghao’s identity as leverage in your little war with Wen Qing. Don’t you even assume for a minute that I’m helpless simply because I haven’t told Jinghao anything. Don’t forget, we’re in B City. Apart from Zong Jinghao, Zong Qifeng exists, too.”

Zong Qifeng hadn’t shown himself in a while, but that didn’t mean that he had become powerless. He’d have a field day against an outsider like Yinning.

Nonetheless, Lin Xinyan was not about to back down. She could be nice, but there was nothing stopping her from being harsh, either.

Bai Yinning stared at her for a long time before laughing. “You really are willing to do anything for him, huh?”

“He’s my husband and the father of my child. For him, I can do anything,” Lin Xinyan said honestly, staring right back at him.

She had nothing to hide.

Bai Yinning’s smile suddenly fell flat, and his hands gripped onto the handle tightly. “What if I wanted you in return to keep my mouth shut?”

“You won’t go that far. I’m a married woman, and I don’t think I have that much going for me. Tell me, what else do you want?” At his words, Lin Xinyan’s face remained calm, as if he were talking about someone else and not herself.

She was so calm, that Bai Yinning couldn’t believe it.
