Stealing Your Heart Chapter 109

Zong Jinghao looked up at her and his gaze landed on the hand that she was covering her chest with. “Did you get burned?”

Lin Xinyan was quiet for a moment.

She turned her head, unable to take his gaze. “No.”

She walked towards the lounge and sat on the couch. She took a few tissues and started wiping the water on her neck.

The light in front of her was suddenly blocked. She did not know when Zong Jinghao had walked over. Lin Xinyan quietly coughed once. “I thought you have many matters to settle? Why did you come over?”

When she came in with the water, she saw a tall stack of documents on his office table, waiting to be signed.

As if he had not heard her, Zong Jinghao took the tissue from her. “I’ll wipe it for you.”

“No need.” Lin Xinyan tried to grab the tissue back from him. He raised his hand and she failed to take it back.

“Listen to me.” Zong Jinghao crouched down in front of her legs and gently pulled open her collar to wipe the water on her skin.

His eyes were lowered and there were shadows under his long eyelashes. He looked serious and gentle as if he was wiping expensive antique. Lin Xinyan fell into a trance for a moment.

She turned away slightly. She did not dare to look at him for too long.

She was afraid that this was just a beautiful dream.

That it was not real.

“Don’t be too nice to me.” She did not want to fall into his gentle trap.

She did not want to think about her past, but the fact was there.

After that night, she did not think that she could have romantic love for the rest of her life.

She had lost her rights to have what was beautiful.

She could not deny that in her life, the mark that Zong Jinghao had left in her became deeper and deeper, until it could no longer be erased and she could not ignore it. She seemed to have gotten used to his domineer, his flippant behavior, and his occasional tenderness. Bit by bit, it took over her heart that she had never revealed.

He gave a light laugh. “I want to be nice to you.”

Lin Xinyan’s eyes were red but she did not want Zong Jinghao to realize, so she said in a cold tone, “You’re blind.”

Zong Jinghao was speechless.

This was the first time he had heard someone mocked themselves.

The corner of his lips was turned upwards. “That’s true, I’m quite blind. You don’t look that pretty.”

Why was he only interested in her?

He carefully looked at the woman in front of her. Her eyebrows, her nose, her lips, her jaw, and her cheeks. None of those were the best, but when they were combined, she looked stunning.

Six years ago, the impression she gave to others was of a pure, naive girl.

Now she had experienced life, and her impression to others was of gentleness, intellect, and feminine.

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door of the office and Zong Jinghao paused his actions. They looked at each other for a second, then he stood up. He gave her the jacket that he had thrown on the couch. “Wear it.”

Lin Xinyan lowered her head to look at herself, then she wore the jacket.

After she was done then did Zong Jinghao say in a low voice, “Come in.”

Guan Jing brought Yu Doudou in.

This was the first time that Yu Doudou had been to this kind of place. Along the way, he had been looking everywhere. When he entered Zong Jinghao’s office, he let out a sigh. The rich really knows how to enjoy, Yu Doudou thought.

His entire house was not even a quarter of his office.

“Sit down.” Guan Jing reminded him.

Yu Doudou laughed apologetically. It seemed like he was a little rude just now.

He sat down facing Lin Xinyan. “I have what you want. Have you thought of what to do?”

Lin Xinyan looked at Zong Jinghao and nodded. “Yes, please hand it to me.”

Yu Doudou did not take it out immediately. Instead, he asked, “What are you planning to do? You just came back so let me tell you, B city’s Dacheng Law Firm is reputable in this country. The lawyers there were all elites. If we can hire one as our attorney, we have high chances of winning.”

His expression darkened as he continued, “I had actually found one, but when he heard it was against the He family, he rejected.”
