Stealing Your Heart Chapter 179

“Ms. Lin? Ms. Lin?”

In a daze, Lin Xinyan heard someone call her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Liu standing at the side of her bed. When Liu saw her open her eyes, she smiled. “You’re awake?”

Lin Xinyan moved to sit on the bed. She rubbed her eyes until she felt more awake, then asked, “What time is it?”

“It’s twelve in the noon. You’ve slept the entire morning. Eat some food.” Liu was respectful to her. She was someone that Young Master had asked her to take care of, naturally, she would do her job well.

“Could you pour a cup of water for me?” She was not hungry, but her throat was dry from sleeping so long.

“Okay.” Liu left the room to get a cup of water.

Lin Xinyan watched her disappearing figure and pushed away the blankets to move down the bed. The injured leg was wrapped in bandages and the ankle was still red and swollen. She reached out to press on it lightly. It was painful. She frowned as she realized that it would not be getting better in these few days.

She placed her weight on the uninjured leg and tried to stand up.

“Do you want to become a handicapped?” A low male voice came from the doorway.

Lin Xinyan raised her head to see the man in the wheelchair.

He wheeled himself into the room. “Your periosteum on your ankle has been hurt. If you keep stressing it out, it would not be able to heal in a few months. If it’s serious… Then you’ll end up like me.”

He deliberately raised his voice for the last sentence and mocked at himself, “It’s not fun to be in a wheelchair.”

Lin Xinyan sat back on the bed, “I’m just trying it.”

“Ms. Lin, your water.” Liu had brought the water in.

Lin Xinyan reached out for it and said, “Thank you.”

“You’re Young Master’s guest, I’d have to take care of you well.” Liu smiled as she looked at Bai Yinning.

There was someone else present, so she only dared to glance at him before looking away.

Lin Xinyan pretended that she did not see it. She raised her cup and drank a few sips to relieve her dry mouth.

“Ms. Lin, you should be hungry, right?” Liu placed a foldable table on the bed. “Your leg is injured, and you can’t walk, so Young Master told me to serve the food in the room.”

Lin Xinyan looked at Bai Yinning and said, “Thank you.”

Bai Yinning raised his eyebrow. “No need to thank me. It’s a fate that we have met in this big world. Just relax and get better. When you’ve recovered, I’ll send you back. Where is Ms. Lin from?”

“B City.” Lin Xinyan answered honestly.

At the same time, she felt odd. He did not allow her to make phone calls, yet he was telling her that he would send her back.

What was he planning?

“B City?” Bai Yinning rummaged on these two words. His gaze landed on Lin Xinyan’s jade bangle again. It was as if he had thought of something as he spaced out.

“Mr. Bai, what’s wrong?”

Bai Yinning returned to his senses, shook his head, and smiled. “Nothing, I just thought of something.” His gaze landed on Lin Xinyan’s face. “Am I old?”

Lin Xinyan was speechless.

She was stunned.

What did that mean?

“I’m just twenty-six, and you’re calling me Mister. It makes me sound like I’m in my thirties.” Before Lin Xinyan could reply to him, he continued, “You should call me Yinning.”

Lin Xinyan did not reply to him.

It did not seem appropriate to call him by his name. Were names not only for people who were close?

“I saved you and you don’t even want to call me by my name? Do you only want to call me as if I’m old?” His voice was stern, but there was no hint of reprimanding in his eyes.

Lin Xinyan lowered her eyes. “I just think that calling you by name is too intimate.”

“Why is it intimate? I’m not going to let you call me Mr. Bai. Are you planning to call me ‘hey’ or ‘you there’?”

Lin Xinyan laughed.

“Let me hear you call me.” Bai Yinning smiles.

His face was lively, and he looked expectant.

Lin Xinyan pursed her lips. He had saved her; it was just repaying his help by calling him by his name. She said, “Bai Yinning?”

“Take away the last name, Bai.”
