Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 147

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 147

Lin Xinyan’s pupils constricted and in her eyes were the reflection of the sharp knife. It was as if she could imagine the pain when the sharp knife enters her body—

The knife was already so close to her, but she could not react from shock.

Just as she was about to be stabbed, a dark figure flew towards her and pulled her by her arm. She turned and dizzily crashed into a warm and solid chest.

She heard an angry voice. “Damn!” Then she saw Shen Xiuqing’s body flying across the room and crashing onto the corner of a table. The drinks on the table fell off and shattered on the floor.

Zong Jinghao’s gaze was sharp. “How did she come in here?”

Qin Ya hurriedly explained. “She was hired yesterday as a cleaner.”

She was shocked too. She had not thought that a cleaner had just tried to kill Lin Xinyan.

Lin Xinyan returned to her senses and moved away from Zong Jinghao’s arms to calmly arrange for the security to bring Shen Xiuqing away. She would investigate her appearance here later.

“Ya, get someone to clean up the floor.”

“Okay.”

“I’m really sorry. There had been an accident just now, I apologize for the shock you just experienced.” She told the crowd. After arranging the clean up, she pulled Zong Jinghao towards the staff room.

He Ruilin stood on the outside as she watched with indifferent eyes.

It was a pity that Lin Xinyan had not died from that attack.

However…

It was as if her gaze was coated with poison.

Zong Jinghao followed her into the staff room.

“Let me see your arm.” Lin Xinyan pulled his arm to look at it. She had seen that his arm was scratched by the knife in Shen Xiuqing’s hand when he had kicked her away.

It seemed like he was not actually scratched. He must have dodged it.

How fortunate. How lucky.

He had not been hurt.

“Are you worrying about me?” His gaze wavered.

“I don’t want you to get hurt because of me.” Lin Xinyan lowered her eyes.

She thought she would not have survived today.

She had not expected Zong Jinghao to appear at the last minute and protected her.

It would be a lie to say that she had felt nothing.

She felt grateful and touched.

It was all for this man.

“If you’re not hurt, I’ll go outside to take a look and see if anyone’s affected—”

“Don’t you have something to say to me?” Zong Jinghao cut her off and narrowed his eyes.

“What?” Lin Xinyan looked up at him.

Soon, she realized what he meant.

“We’ve met a while back. She said to invite her when my shop opens.”

“So, you invited her?” There was an inexplicable terrorizing tone in his voice. “Do you know who she is?”

Lin Xinyan held her breath and her hands clenched into fists. “I do.”

“You still contact her when you do?” This time, he did not conceal his dissatisfaction, his unhappiness, his disappointment.

“She’s not someone bad—”

“How long have you known her?” Zong Jinghao sneered, “What did she bribe you with?”

His gaze landed on her wrist. He had never seen her wear accessories save for an occasional watch. Where did this jade bangle come from?

“She gave this to you?”

Lin Xinyan hid her hands behind her back but Zong Jinghao pulled her back out. He stared at the jade bangle and asked, “You like these kinds of things?”

Lin Xinyan shook her head. “No.”

“Then why did you take it?”

“I couldn’t reject her.”

There was a fire in his eyes, and it kept burning hotter and hotter.

“Did she look pitiful?” That was why she could not reject her.

“No.” She could not reject her with that atmosphere and when she saw her eyes.

“Perhaps she had some difficulties at that time.” Lin Xinyan tried to explain for Yuxiu.

Zong Jinghao scoffed. “How long have you known her? How dare you try to excuse her behaviors with me?”

“Officially? Twice. It’s not been long, but I don’t think she’s someone bad.”

The fire in Zong Jinghao seemed as if it wanted to spread outwards to burn the woman in front of him. How could she be making excuses for Yuxiu?

His tone was as cold as the wintry wind forcing itself into her bones. “Return this to her. I’ll buy you the things you like.”

“Okay.” Lin Xinyan answered easily. She had not planned to keep this anyway; it was too expensive for her to receive this. She had only accepted it because she could not bring herself to reject her at that time.

Lin Xinyan’s quick response cooled him a little. “Don’t meet with her next time.”

“Okay.” Lin Xinyan answered this easily too.

She did not think that Yuxiu was bad. In fact, she felt that Yuxiu was a good person. However, she was in a relationship with Zong Jinghao and she did not plan to be in frequent contact with Yuxiu.

At the very least, she would not be the one initiating contact with her.
