Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 182

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 182

The door of Lin Xinyan’s room wasn’t closed. After drawing for a long time, she felt tired and lay on the table to take a rest, yet unknowingly fell asleep.

Bai Yinning pushed his wheelchair gently towards Lin Xinyan, and only found out that she’s asleep when he reached the bed. He grabbed some of her drawing papers on the table to take a look and noticed that the drawings were smooth and meticulous in detail. Even though he could recognize that these were merely sketches, yet her designs were able to demonstrate her ideas clearly to everyone.

It showed that she was very good at it.

He looked at her and thought to himself. Is she a fashion designer?

“Young master, she’s a fashion designer.” Liu came in to take a look when she saw him holding Lin Xinyan’s drawings. She was indeed telling the truth when she said she’s a fashion designer. If she isn’t, she won’t be able to casually come up with these impressive sketches.

Bai Yinning’s face darkened, probably because she was too loud when she spoke.

Liu immediately lowered her head and pursed her lips reluctantly. She didn’t want to wake Lin Xinyan up on purpose, but merely explained it to him instinctively when she saw him holding the drawing papers.

“Liu, don’t be so impetuous next time.”

Liu lowered her head and said, “I understand.”

“Hum…” As Lin Xinyan heard someone talking when she was sleeping, she frowned for quite some time before slowly opening her eyes.

“Sorry for disturbing your sleep.” Bai Yinning was looking at the woman with tired eyes who had just woken up.

As soon as Lin Xinyan wanted to rub her eyes, she realized that one of her arms was numb after sleeping on her arm for quite some time and hissed in pain.

“What’s wrong? Is your arm numb?” Bai Yinning reached out his hand and said, “Is it this arm? Let me rub it for you.”

Lin Xinyan immediately pulled back her hand that was touched by him, shook her hand non-stop and said, “It’s fine. It’s fine. I can do it myself.”

She rubbed her numb arm vigorously when she was talking so that the numbness can subside soon.

Calmly withdrew his hand, Bai Yinning wasn’t angry because Lin Xinyan resisted him, and asked, “Do you like it?”

Ah?

Lin Xinyan soon understood that he was referring to the aquarium. She nodded perfunctorily and said, “It’s a rare aquarium.”

Bai Yinning put down the drawings when he was withdrawing his hands, and said, “If it can make you smile, that’ll be the making of it.”

Lowering her head, Lin Xinyan pretended that she didn’t hear it, tidied up her drawings and said, “Please excuse my poor drawings.”

“Not at all. You draw very well. You should be a famous fashion designer, am I right?” He sounded confident even though he was asking a question.

“No.” Lin Xinyan didn’t want to reveal too much about herself to him as she knew nothing about this mild-mannered man.

He can’t be an ordinary man after all since he is an overlord of this place.

“I trust my own feelings.” Bai Yinning was confident.

Lin Xinyan inverted her drawings and put them on the table, and apparently didn’t want to talk about this further.

Bai Yinning was very observant and didn’t continue to ask her. He changed the subject and said, “Are you bored because of staying at home all the time?”

Lin Xinyan nodded his head and said, “Not really.”

“Do you want me to bring you out to tour around?” Bai Yinning said smilingly.

He was always smiling.

Lin Xinyan wanted to refuse at first, but she agreed to it when she thought that she could also go out and be familiar with the surroundings.

“But my legs…” It was difficult for Lin Xinyan to make a decision. Since she could hardly walk now because her legs were injured, she didn’t want to be a cripple and wished to recover soon and go home.

“I’ll help you walk.” Bai Yinning reached out his arm.

“Let me help.” Liu immediately came up to Lin Xinyan to help her as she was afraid that Lin Xinyan would really grab him by his arm, and explained, “Since I can walk, it would be more convenient for Ms. Lin.”

Lin Xinyan surely understood Liu’s intent whereby she didn’t hope to see her having physical contact with Bai Yinning.

As she was willing to do her the favor, she grabbed Liu’s arm and said, “Just let Liu help me.”

Glanced at Liu, Bai Yinning didn’t say anything and pushed his wheelchair towards the door.

He then turned around to glance at Lin Xinyan and said, “You can visit my study first.”

Since his bedroom and study were on the ground floor and only a couple of steps from Lin Xinyan’s room, he pushed the door and went into the room first.

When Liu helped Lin Xinyan walk into the room, Bai Yinning instructed her, “Help her sit on the chair, and you may leave.”

Liu wished to stay, yet Bai Yinning apparently wanted to send her away. She didn’t dare disobey Bai Yinning even though she was reluctant to do so.

She had no choice but to help Lin Xinyan sit and leave the room. Before closing the door, she glanced at Lin Xinyan.

Lin Xinyan wished to tell her that she didn’t have to worry about anything as she did not have any feelings for Bai Yinning.

She hoped that she could put her at ease.

But since Bai Yinning was in front of her, she couldn’t say it out loud and had to bite her tongue.

Once the door of the study was closed, Bai Yinning pushed his wheelchair to the front of the writing desk and asked casually, “Did you study drawing?”

“Not really. I went to a fashion design college and drawing was a must, and so it is my basic skill.” Lin Xinyan answered fluently.

But deep in her heart, she was even more on the alert for him. He was smart to break the ice between them easily.

Bai Yinning laughed and said, “Do you like to read?”

“Sometimes.” She rarely has spare time to read, and even the books that she occasionally read were related to fashion designing.

“I love reading.” Bai Yinning said earnestly, “Since I couldn’t walk and don’t have many friends, the books are the ones who can accompany me.”

Even though he buried his feelings well, Lin Xinyan could still sense the air of disappointment and melancholy around him.

No one can be completely unconcerned about the fact that he or she couldn’t walk.

Lin Xinyan’s gaze fell upon the bookshelf behind the writing desk. It was made of Narra wood and had the same height and width as the front wall. There were many rows of books on the shelf, and most of which Lin Xinyan hadn’t even heard of the titles.
