Stealing Your Heart Chapter 282

She walked over and noticed that the call was from Shen Peichuan, and her smile turned stiff. She tossed a glance at her son and said, “Don’t jump around too much, you’ll sweat. You won’t feel fresh anymore.”

“Alright,” Lin Xichen said, panting.

Zong Jinghao began to act strange after coming back.

Lin Xinyan wasn’t sure what happened to him. When she was bathing the kids, Guan Jing called him, presumably to talk about work matters. He sat down in front of his computer after the call and hadn’t gotten up since.

She answered the call and immediately said, “Gimme a second.”

“Alright,” Shen Peichuan said.

Lin Xinyan put down her towel in the bathroom and glanced at the scene behind her. The two kids were still hopping around on the bed while Zong Jinghao was still absorbed in his work. His slender fingers rapped on the keyboard, and he was completely oblivious to her going out.

Lin Xinyan held on tight to her phone and exited the room before closing the door behind her.

The moment the door closed, Zong Jinghao’s hands froze.

He glanced at the closed door as a thousand thoughts ran through his mind.

Lin Xinyan walked to the end of the corridor, looking down upon the underwhelming city skyline, peppered with neon lights. She didn’t know what to expect from Shen Peichuan.

However, she still had to face it, be it sooner or later.

She lowered her gaze. “Tell me.”

“Su Zhan’s grandmother is fine. You don’t have to worry as Su Zhan isn’t an unreasonable person, so he won’t blame you for anything. They saved He Ruize’s life too, so you don’t have to worry about him as well.”

Lin Xinyan heaved a huge sigh of relief. Thank goodness both the old lady and He Ruize were fine.

Even if He Ruize was a criminal, they shouldn’t take it upon themselves to dispose of him.

“I’m quite curious,” Shen Peichuan suddenly said.

“Of what?” Lin Xinyan asked.

“Was Jinghao actually looking to kill him? I know how his shooting skills were back when we trained together, and he only quit because of his family matters. If Jinghao had wanted to kill He Ruize, he wouldn’t have missed by two centimeters, but if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have aimed so close to his heart.”

Lin Xinyan couldn’t give him an answer.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up then,” Shen Peichuan said.

Lin Xinyan hummed lightly.

She grasped her phone tightly and stood before the window, pondering over Shen Peichuan’s words. She knew what he meant to say. If Zong Jinghao had wanted He Ruize dead, he could have killed him in one shot.

What was he thinking?

She couldn’t think of a reason and she had no clue.

She wanted to believe that she knew him well, yet she doubted it very often.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from behind her, and she whirled around to see Zong Jinghao standing at the other end of the corridor. The suit he had been wearing was creased from sitting down for too long, but it only enhanced his manliness.

Lin Xinyan had a strange sense of heaviness in her heart.

“Who was that?” He asked calmly, as though he was talking to a stranger.

Lin Xinyan furrowed her eyebrows. “Shen Peichuan. He told me that Su Zhan’s grandmother was fine, and so was He Ruize.”

He hummed and turned around.

“Zong Jinghao.”

Lin Xinyan called out to him, stopping him in his tracks.

He stopped, but he didn’t turn around. He just waited for her to speak.
