Stealing Your Heart

“I don’t know what it is. The guard said that there is an express parcel for you. I saw your name on it so I brought it here.”

Qin Ya checked and found no sender’s name or address. The content was contained in a folder. “Is it a document?”

“It’s better you open it and take a look,” Qin Ya handed the parcel to her.

Lin Xinyan tore open the seal. It was not a document, but a stack of photos.

Her curiosity was piqued and she took them out. All the photos were obscene.

That was not the point. What made it a serious matter was the people in the photographs.

Her face turned pale and her hands shook, but she managed to look at each photo. They were all equally explicit.

Sensing from her expression that something was wrong, Qin Ya leaned over to peep at them. “What is it…”

Before Qin Ya could make out what it was, Lin Xinyan quickly put the photos back into the folder and resealed it, looking like she was afraid someone would see the content within. She then pretended as if nothing had happened. “It’s nothing much.”

Qin Ya frowned. “But I saw something was wrong in your expression.”

Again, Lin Xinyan said it was nothing, but her face told a different story. Obviously, it was something.

Qin Ya stared at the envelope in Lin Xinyan’s hands wondering what was inside that could change the look on her face in an instant.

“I am just too tired, Qin Ya, leave me alone for a while.” Lin Xinyan then turned around with her back facing Qin Ya.

I need to be calm.

Qin Ya obliged. She’s not talking. Perhaps she doesn’t want to tell me about it. I just hope that if there is something wrong, she won’t bear it alone and will let me share her burden after she has calmed down.

After all, two heads are better than one.

After Qin Ya left, Lin Xinyan sat down on a chair. After calming herself down, she took out the photographs again. This time, while she was prepared, she still felt a psychological impact. After all, the subject in the photos was someone she cared about.

They were many explicit photos of Zong Jinghao and a woman together in bed; their faces in every photo were clearly shown.

No matter how hard she tried, she could not see any flaws to show the photos had been doctored.

Deep inside, she told herself that they must be fakes and must have been sent to her on purpose.
