Stealing Your Heart

Never in a million years did Li Jing think Lin Xinyan would pay them a visit, but she remained hospitable. After all, the former was Zong Jinghao’s wife.

“You’re alone?” The older woman asked.

Lin Xinyan hummed in reply.

“Who is it? Of all times…” Wen Qing walked out of his study room, and he was stunned to find out who their guest was.

The man looked around to see if Zong Jinghao was here, but was a little disappointed when he saw no one else.

“What are you doing here?” He asked nonchalantly.

Lin Xinyan stood still like a statue and stared at him quietly.

The man before her eyes was related to her in so many ways. By right, she should be nervous and elated.

Yet now, she felt dejected.

Her eye contact made Wen Qing feel uncomfortable, and he looked away, “Why are you staring at me like this?”

Lin Xinyan still did not turn her attention elsewhere. She pressed her voice and said in a gentle tone, “Can we talk?”

Wen Qing frowned. “Did he ask you to come?”

Did Zong Jinghao ask her to be our mediator?

Wen Qing could not help but feel delighted at the thought of it.

“Nope. He doesn’t know I’m here.”

A line formed between Wen Qing’s brows. He then responded in a cold voice, “What possibly could we talk about?”

“Am I your enemy? Why can’t we talk?” Lin Xinyan got a little agitated all of a sudden. It was not because of how aloof Wen Qing was. It was because of how confused and exhausted she was in trying to make sense of this mess.

Wen Qing pressed his lips and did not utter a word.

Li Jing walked over, put on a smile, and nudged her husband, “Come on. Perhaps she does have some important matters to discuss with you.”
