Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 212

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 212

There was a clean-shaven man sitting on the sofa opposite her. He looked handsome in formal attire. He exuded the fragrance of some shower gel and there was a contrast to his decadence last night.

Cheng Yuxiu became nervous. Though she had known his identity, this was the first time she looked at him when she was sober.

She panicked, not knowing where to look, and it was certainly not at him. She sat up on the sofa and found the blanket covering her body instead.

Cheng Yuxiu felt shy. “Are you sober now?”

“Ummm…” Zong Qifeng answered.

Cheng Yuxiu stood up abruptly. She kicked a leg of the table and fell back down onto the sofa. She felt sorry for being clumsy. “Let me clean up the mess.”

“Don’t be afraid of me.” Zong Qifeng stood up to reassure Cheng Yuxiu. He found his relationship with her embarrassing. He felt uncomfortable with the presence of another woman in the house.

“You are here at her invitation. Do feel at home. Let me know if there is anything you need. You may go out if you feel bored here, but I expect you to keep our relationship private and confidential.”

Cheng Yuxiu’s eyes squinted. “I know.”

Zong Qifeng left without taking breakfast.

Since that day, Zong Qifeng came home every night. He left her alone upstairs and slept in the guest room downstairs.

Cheng Yuxiu learned later that he came back to the villa every night to just please Wen Xian.

Cheng Yuxiu was free during the day; so, she thought of looking for a job to fill her time.

Although she was educated, she lacked the relevant working experience. Hence, it would be easy for her to find a clerical job.

After a successful interview, she got an office job. Since then, she had been working there for more than two months.

Zong Qifeng came home late every night and slept downstairs. They practically did not meet each other.

She lived a full life. After a busy day at the office, she would go through her notes jotted down during work and looked for materials for self-improvement.

That day, she ate dinner after work as usual, and then took a shower before curling up in bed to look for some information.

All of a sudden, she received a telephone call from Cheng Yuwen, the only person who knew her whereabouts. Indeed, after her father’s death, Chen Yuwen was her only relative.

“Hongfei is dying to see you.”

Bai Hongfei went overseas to source for some equipment needed for his company’s new project.

He faced some glitches which delayed his work. By the time he returned, he was shocked to learn about what had befallen the Cheng Family.

The worst thing was, he couldn’t find his girlfriend, his beloved Cheng Yuxiu.

On his prior visits to the Cheng Family, Cheng Yuwen always disappointed him by insisting that he did not know Cheng Yuxiu’s whereabouts.

After ensuring the company’s new project was on track, he paid another visit to the Cheng Family. This time, he was very insistent. If you don’t tell me, I won’t go; I will follow you wherever you go.

He was not kidding for he even followed him to the washroom.

Finally, Cheng Yuwen gave in and rang his sister up.

On hearing Bai Hongfei’s name, Cheng Yuxiu froze for a while. Then she broke down and cried uncontrollably. She was heart-broken and full of grievances.

“I think he is still in love with you…”
