Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 240

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 240

It was painful for Lin Xinyan but she kept quiet, allowing him to vent his anger.

No matter what, it was she who concealed the truth.

His gaze was deep and his voice was low and warm, “I only have one woman and that is you…”

All his emotions and physical body were dedicated to one woman.

Lin Xinyan was not sure if his breathing was too warm or he had caught her off guard. Her body felt feverish with panic. Yet, pretending to be calm, she asked, “What about He Ruilin?”

Deliberately, she brought up the past.

If she could find no fault with him, she was afraid he would continue to pester her about what she was concealing.

This time Zong Jinghao was not fooled by her, he pinched her chin and embraced her in his arms, vowing, “In my last life, I must have been a heinous villain. In this life, the heavens sent you to punish me.”

Even though he knew her intentions, he could not point it out.

That’s alright.

Anyhow, I will investigate and find out.

I want to know what has been hidden from me.

What could have changed her attitude and made her do everything to prevent me from finding out.

Lin Xinyan held on to his collar. Her heart was in turmoil. Quickly, she recovered as she began to understand. She thought it out and made a decision, “I’ve never been in love. I don’t know how to love a man. If there is anything I did not do correctly, please forgive me.”

Zong Jinghao was taken aback. Slowly he lowered his eyes, “Are you confessing to me?”

Lin Xinyan was still uncertain but she decided to try, “You may assume I am.”

He laughed aloud. His gaze fell upon her shy face. Just a moment ago, she was so brash and vocal but now she was blushing timidly.

Lin Xinyan avoided his eyes. He brushed her hair away from her face and looked at her for a while. Everything about her was pretty.

He brought his lips near and touched her cheeks. Then he said something strange, “I regret.”

Lin Xinyan’s eyes widened in surprise. She did not respond for a long while. What does he mean by that?

“What do you mean?”

Zong Jinghao raised his eyebrows and chuckled. His tone was low and deep with a tinge of unconditional acceptance. “You forget so soon? It’s okay, I will explain another day.”

Lin Xinyan always felt that his words had double meanings.

Suddenly, her eyes widened. Was he talking about last night?

Boom!

Her face felt flushed as if on fire. She turned redder.

Zong Jinghao held her in his arms lying on another bed that was quite narrow. Since Zong Jinghao was so tall, his feet were left dangling outside the bed. He curved his upper body as well. Lying on one side, holding Lin Xinyan who was also lying on one side, this was the only way they could lie in bed together.

Lin Xichen’s little hands gripped his pillow tightly in order for him to stay quiet. He kept telling himself, “They are my parents, so it is normal for them to embrace. It is not wrong.”

He was struggling with himself. He wished that Lin Xinyan would not forgive Zong Jinghao so easily.

On the other hand, he feared they would separate.

In his mind, he thought, perhaps he was a contradiction.

About noon, they reached Baicheng.

All this time, living in the village was quite inconvenient and they did not rest well either. And so, when they returned to the hotel, everyone was tired.

“Everyone, go upstairs and get a bath. Rest for a while. Later on, come down here for lunch. Let me arrange,” Shen Peichuan said to the group.

Su Zhan left first, “I haven’t changed for a few days. I’ve got to go back to my room.”

“Come, let’s go together.” He looked at Qin Ya who was next to him.

Qin Ya stepped back, putting some distance between them.

Su Zhan frowned, “Don’t forget, we are a couple…”

“We have broken up,” Qin Ya replied loudly.

She was tired of Su Zhan and worried that if they carried on any longer, it would be difficult to dump him later.

Su Zhan was taken aback. He had not expected her to say this in public. He was stunned for some time.

Shen Peichuan called out his name worriedly, “Su Zhan…”

“That’s okay, this is a matter of the heart. Two people are involved. She can’t make this decision alone,” Su Zhan resumed his happy-go-lucky style, “I’ll go up first.”

“Ya,” Lin Xinyan let Zong Jinghao take care of her two kids and walked over to Qin Ya to see that she was okay.
