Stealing Your Heart

“Well, so is this true?” Zhuang Jiawen looked at his siblings and pressed, uncharacteristically interested in this little bit of gossip. He wanted to understand what happened then.

Zong Yanxi decided to satisfy his curiosity. She replied, “Yes, he was once in love with Mom.”

“Wow, he must be pretty persistent, huh? I heard from my parents that he has no children at all. Apparently, he didn’t marry his wife out of love,” Shen Xinyao said and snuck a furtive look at Bai Yinning.

“Yes,” Shen Xinyao replied.

Zhuang Jiawen shot her a glance. “How do you know everything?”

“My parents told me about it,” she answered.

“Well, what else did your parents tell you? Tell me all about it,” Zhuang Jiawen said.

Shen Xinyao shook her head and said, “Nothing else.” She paused before adding, “He wasn’t a bad person.”
