Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 127

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 127

At He family estate,

He Ruilin had been turning around on the bed. She could not fall asleep. She looked at her phone every few minutes, but no call nor messages came in.

Finally, she could not lie still. She sat up and took her phone. After a moment of hesitation, she dialed a number.

She held onto her phone with trembling hands. She was nervous and excited.

That night, she had installed a video surveillance in the room. He Ruize did not know about it.

This was the only thing she had to blackmail Zong Jinghao.

If he cared about Lin Xinyan, he would not let this video where Lin Xinyan was being stripped spread on the internet as porn video.

Zong Jinghao looked at his phone as his thumb rubbed on the screen. Just as his phone was about to stop ringing, he picked up the call.

“Hao.” He Ruilin said excitedly.

She thought Zong Jinghao would not accept her call.

Zong Jinghao did not answer her. Her feelings did not affect him.

Slowly, He Ruilin calmed down. The hand on the blanket tensed and relaxed a few times before she opened her mouth. “Did you receive the video? Was it exciting?”

Zong Jinghao’s eyes were half-closed. As if time had stopped, the storms in his eyes had been paused.

“Let’s meet. I’ve booked a room at Shanghuang Hotel. Room 108. I’ll be waiting for you. You can choose to not come, but I can guarantee you that the video in which Lin Xinyan was being stripped would be all over the net. She would be the target for horny men.”

She ended the call but her heart was still thumping loudly.

She was nervous.

Yet when she thought about meeting him, she was excited.

She stood up from the messy bed and ran to the wardrobe barefooted. She started to look for the clothes she was going to wear tonight.

The wardrobe was filled with expensive suits and dresses but none of it was what she wanted. She felt that none of it was pretty enough for tonight.

Yet it was too late to buy clothes now, so she took them all out and tried them one by one.

Her excited look right now was like a young lady who had just fallen in love and about to meet the man of her dreams. She had to become more beautiful so that she could present him the most beautiful look of hers.

To make him surprised and fall in love with her.

It was her dream for Zong Jinghao to fall in love with her.

Lin Xinyan went out of the bathroom and saw Aunt Yu enthusiastically greeting her. It was written all over Aunt Yu’s face that she knew what had happened in the bathroom earlier.

Lin Xinyan lowered her head in embarrassment and gave herself an excuse to leave. “I’m going to check on Xichen.”

She walked into the room.

She could not withstand that enthusiastic look from Aunt Yu.

“We’ll be eating soon.” Aunt Yu told her.

Lin Xinyan pretended not to have heard her and went into the room.

She only came out when it was time to eat.

Now that Lin Ruixi had a “dad”, she did not even want Lin Xinyan anymore. When she was about to eat, she ran to sit beside Zong Jinghao. “I want to sit with dad.”

Zhuang Zijin went to carry her away. “Sit with grandma.”

She was afraid that the little girl would not be able to leave Zong Jinghao eventually.

This was not good. After all, Zong Jinghao was not really her dad.

“No, I want to sit with dad.” She pulled Zong Jinghao’s arm and hugged in tightly.

No one could separate her from her dad.

“Ruixi—”

“Let her be.” Zong Jinghao said quietly.

Zhuang Zijin was silent for a moment. “The girl isn’t being thoughtful. Don’t mind her.”

“I don’t mind.” Zong Jinghao let her sit beside him. “You can be yourself here. Treat this like your home. I’m sure you were unhappy about my divorce with Lin Xinyan.”

Zhuang Zijin’s attitude towards him had been ambiguous and Zong Jinghao could sense it.

Zhuang Zijin was honest; everyone knew what was going on. “You are divorced, technically we should not come to disturb you—”

“I think you’ve mistaken about the divorce.” Zong Jinghao was not in a hurry to explain. He slowly said, “Lin Xinyan and I—”
