Stealing Your Heart

Chen Qing immediately stood up and reprimanded his wife, “I’m talking to Wen Qing. Who gave you the permission to come in?”

Mrs. Chen looked at her husband. “I’ve been married to you for so many years and I’ve done nothing but take care of you diligently and listen to your instructions obediently. Have I ever said no to you?”

Chen Qing was at a loss for words. Indeed, his wife was really good at taking care of the family, their daughter, and serving him.

“I’m talking to Wen Qing, why did you come in? You’re but a woman, so what would you know? Put down the tea and leave.” This time, he was not as loud and not as agitated. With Wen Qing here, if he appeared to be too bothered, he would look like he was trying to hide something.

All he could do was to give his wife a look of warning.

Mrs. Chen stared at her husband keenly and said, “I’ve put you in the center of everything I do since marrying you, but this time, I am not listening to you.”

Chen Shihan stood aside as her gaze moved rapidly between her father and her mother. “Mom, what are you doing?”

Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter with slightly reddened eyes. “I want you to know your dad’s true intentions.”

Chen Qing was a little flustered now. “Get out!”

Back then, Mrs. Chen would have left immediately at the sight of her husband who was about to explode in anger, but now, she could no longer watch her husband sink deeper into his obsession and pulling their daughter along with him as well.

She walked in and placed the tray onto the table before walking to the shelves at the back of the room. From there, she took out a book with the title, “War Strategies.”

While Chen Qing glared at her with a grim face, Wen Qing and Chen Shihan kept their gaze on her as they were curious to know what she would take out next.

In front of everyone, Mrs. Chen took out a photograph from the book.

Chen Shihan had never seen the photo before and she wasn’t sure who the young girl in it was. Wen Qing, on the other hand, could recognize clearly that it was his sister, Wen Xian in the photo.

He walked over and took it from Mrs. Chen’s hands. In the photo, a fifteen-year-old Wen Xian was standing under a tree, wearing a white dress with her hair down. Her features were not fully developed yet, but her exquisite face could still be seen, especially her beautiful twinkly eyes, which were especially unforgettable.

Under the light, Wen Qing noticed that there were words written at the back of the photo. When he turned it over, Wen Xian’s name was written on it together with the date.
