Stealing Your Heart

Zong Yanxi scoffed. “He regrets it? What if I had died? Would he still regret it?”

Jiang Youqian struggled to find an answer to her question. “B-but you loved each other…”

Zong Yanxi sighed in exasperation. Which part of what I just said did you not understand?

“Are you dumb, or are you just trying to guilt trip me? Yes, I did love him, but he didn’t love me back. I’ve since lost all love for him, so we have no feelings for each other whatsoever. Is that clear?” she said, trying her best to keep her temper in check.

Jiang Youqian understood her stance, but he had his own goal to achieve as well.

His brother’s actions were unforgivable from her point of view, but he was sure that his brother was willing to change for the better.

He’s willing to turn over a new leaf, so why can’t you just give him another chance?

“He’s injured, Yanxi,” Jiang Youqian said. “He misses you dearly. Can’t you go back and visit him for once?”

“No!” Zong Yanxi said firmly. “Go home.”

“Can’t you at least do it for my sake?” Jiang Youqian pleaded.

There’ll be hope as long as she agrees to visit him!

“No. Now leave,” she spat before turning around again.

“Wait!” Jiang Youqian yelled after her. “Can’t you just forgive him?”

“No!” she yelled, running out of patience. “His regret won’t heal my wounds and bring my child back! Now leave before I call the police!”

As they bickered, Tawan watched from a distance, and he rushed forward immediately when he saw Jiang Youqian tugging at her.

“Please leave,” he told Jiang Youqian, who studied him from head to toe with a frown.

“Who are you and why do you know Yanxi?” Jiang Youqian asked, jabbing a finger into Tawan’s face. “She’s my brother’s wife, so you’d better stay away from her!”

Tawan froze. Oh…so he’s her ex-brother-in-law, not her ex-husband!
