Stealing Your Heart

Hearing the familiar voice, she soon realized whose voice it was, and her body stiffened.

She didn’t know if she should turn around or pretend not to hear the person, as she did not know what to say after seeing the person.

At this time, the same person called her again while also scrutinizing her.

Unable to pretend that she didn’t hear it, she had no choice but to turn around.

As expected, Li Jing was standing not far away from her. It had not been long since their last meeting, but Li Jing had changed a lot and became much older. Her appearance, which was initially well maintained, had become older than her age, with a lot of her black hair turned gray.

Li Jing forced a smile. “I thought I’ve got the wrong person.”

When she was speaking, she cast her gaze on Lin Xinyan’s belly. Her bump was very obvious by now as her lower abdomen was slightly bulging. “It’s almost the fifth month, right?”

“Yeah,” replied Lin Xinyan.

“Are you here to get something?” Li Jing asked.

Lin Xinyan nodded in agreement.

“Are you in a hurry? If you’re not, we can have a talk at a cafe on the sixth floor,” she suggested.

Lin Xin pursed her lips and said nothing, twisting herself up not knowing what she could talk with her.

“I don’t mean anything. I just want to talk to you. I’m the only one at home, so I’m quite bored,” Li Jing added with a smile.

Since she had said so, it would make Lin Xinyan look heartless if she turned her down. Even if she didn’t want to talk about the relationship with the Wen family, this woman did nothing wrong after all. Moreover, she used to talk to her and have meals together like a family.

“Find a place to wait for me,” Lin Xinyan said to the driver.

Nodding his head, the driver replied, “Okay.”

“There’s an elevator here.” Li Jing pointed at an elevator.

Lin Xinyan walked over and waited for the elevator with her. The two of them then took the elevator to the sixth floor. Li Jing chose a table close to the window inside the cafe that was very quiet, as there were not many customers at this hour.

A waiter came over, and Li Jing ordered a cup of coffee. Then, she looked at Lin Xinyan and asked, “What do you want?”

“Juice, please.”
