Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 269

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 269

The sunlight shone through the French window. She was sitting at the corner with a drawing board in her hands. She was drawing the design of the wedding dress.

The rough outline of the dress was already imprinted in her mind as her hand sketched back and forth smoothly. Once she was in her working mode, she would be lost in it. Even the incident of bumping into He Ruize wasn’t in her mind anymore.

When Zong Jinghao was about to approach her, the driver who accompanied her just now approached him. He usually didn’t need to personally report on such things. But Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan weren’t there today.

He thought that Zong Jinghao should know about He Ruize’s appearance.

“I went shopping with Ms. Lin today. We bumped into He Ruize.”

Hearing that, the light on the man’s face instantly dampened.

“He wanted to take her away but failed. I think that he might be watching us in the dark all this time.”

There wasn’t a doubt that he would do that. He was just waiting for the perfect timing.

“Okay, you can go now.” Zong Jinghao waved his hand at him.

They were in the light while He Ruize was in the dark. If they wanted to catch him, then they must pull the snake out of its hole to avoid future troubles.

He made up his mind. But Su Zhan was getting married soon so he could only put the plan on hold.

“Wait,” he called out when the driver was about to leave.

“What did she buy?” He pretended to be serious. She bought Lin Xichen a gift so she must have bought him something too.

The driver thought for a while before answering, “Pearls, a Rubik’s Cube and some fabric.”

He remembered that the Rubik’s Cube was for Lin Xichen which was something the child liked.

But it was obvious that the rest of the things weren’t for Zong Jinghao.

Which meant that he had no gift.

This woman! Am I even in her heart at all?

“Okay, you can leave,” he calmly said. With that, the driver left.

On the other side, Lin Xinyan was immersed in her designing, completely unaware that somebody was approaching her. She didn’t even notice the shadow hovering over her.

The black pencil kept going back and forth on the paper. She already drew the rough outline of the dress. Now she was just trying to figure out the details.

Zong Jinghao leaned down as his eyes were fixed on her design.

The woman was so lost in her world that she didn’t notice him. Then her hand suddenly paused.

Wedding. What a sacred ceremony.

She once had such a longing to put on a wedding dress and marry her desired man that she could spend her life with. They would walk through this life hand in hand. But… She slowly lowered her eyes.

“What are you thinking?” He was so close that she could feel his breath on the spot between her ears and neck. She quickly looked up to meet his gaze.

The moment she raised her head, Zong Jinghao caught a concealed disappointment in her eyes that quickly disappeared.

Something flashed in his eyes. When they were getting married, he didn’t give her anything. She was also like any other woman who wanted a wedding dress.

“N-nothing.” She lowered her head and scooted away to distance herself from him. She busied herself tidying up her things to hide her disappointment.

“Where did you go?” He neared her again.

“Went out and bought some things.” She held the drawing board and pencil in one hand. She used the other hand to support herself to get up. But then she felt that her leg was numbed.

“Are your legs numb?” He crouched down and touched both of her legs. “Which leg?”

She hesitated a bit before saying, “Left.”

“Here?” he asked, rubbing her left calf.
