Stealing Your Heart

“There’s someone I like…”

“Mm-”

Before she could finish her sentence, Bai Yinning slammed his lips onto hers, instantly shutting her up.

Her eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively wanted to push him away.

“Don’t push me away. Just this once… Just this once,” he pleaded in a low and hoarse voice.

Lin Xinyan’s hands paused midair, and for some reason, her heart clenched. She could feel him choking on his own sorrow and pain from not being able to put them into words.

She could only remain completely still.

After a long time, his lips trailed across her cheek to rest beside her ear. “When Wen Qing set you up, I knew it was my chance to avenge my adoptive father, but I did it more for your sake because I didn’t want you to be affected by such negative things. Zong Jinghao didn’t know about the truth, so he’d always show mercy to Wen Qing. The reason I dug out the truth about this matter was so that he’d have one less thing to worry about and he’d be able to deal with Wen Qing without inhibition. But I underestimated your feelings for him. I’m jealous and envious at the same time. Take care of yourself. From this moment onwards, you’ll only be a woman whom I once loved.”

He abruptly swiveled around and said over his shoulder, “I’ll leave, and I won’t disappoint you this time. Today is the last day we’ll be seeing each other. I won’t ever step into B City again. You should go now.”

Lin Xinyan gazed at his back and replied, “Thank you.”

Thereafter, she called for Shen Peichuan, who was waiting outside.

Shen Peichuan immediately pushed into the room, then shot a fleeting glance towards Bai Yinning.

“Let’s go,” Lin Xinyan said softly.

Shen Peichuan did not say anything, only taking her away as per her request.

He waited until they were in the elevators to speak, “Did you two come to an agreement?”

“Mm-hmm.” Her voice and expression were both indifferent as if she did not want to talk about it.

“Peichuan, I’m tired.” She pinched the space between her brows.
