Stealing Your Heart Chapter 30
The fire burned and burned, and it was about to swallow him up.
He lowered his voice, and a corner of lips turned upwards. His tone was cold with no hint of joy nor anger. “What I’ve said to you, it’s not important, is it?”
Lin Xinyan instinctively shuddered.
“Your marriage is just a deal; you have no rights to request anything from her.” He Ruize’s tone was also cold.
“If I don’t have to rights, you don’t too. Regardless if it’s a deal or not, you’re thinking of someone else’s wife, that’s not what a gentleman does.” He looked away from He Ruize but gave a side-eye to Lin Xinyan. “I’ll give you a minute.”
He walked into the building.
He Ruize turned around to look at Lin Xinyan. “Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll accompany you in and explain to him.”
Lin Xinyan shook her head. She was in the wrong.
She promised him the last time, but now she broke the promise.
“It’s alright, Ruize. You should go, I still need to work.” Lin Xinyan walked into the building. Zong Jinghao had already went up.
Lin Xinyan took the elevator up.
Standing out Zong Jinghao’s office, she steeled her heart and knocked the door.
“Come in.”
She pushed open the door and was about to explain before Zong Jinghao cut her off. “Let’s end our marriage now.”
He looked up at her. “A month is too long. Let’s end it now.”
Lin Xinyan could not stop her lips from trembling. She thought she had been strong and brave, but she was not.
It was not enough.
She could not save herself when the danger came.
If she had not found He Ruize, she might not have gotten out of there.
Perhaps she would have been killed by Shen Xiuqing and Lin Yuhan.
Zong Jinghao did not want to continue his words. He picked the phone and said, “Lawyer Lee, draft me a divorce—”
“No!” Lin Xinyan rushed over, covered his phone, and shook her head. “I really didn’t mean to not go home. There were some things last night, that’s why—”
Hah.
Zong Jinghao’s eyes landed on the dress she wore, and he laughed gloomily, the sound seemed to pass through her flesh and blood. “I’m giving you what you want, isn’t that good?”
She was clearly wearing jeans and shirt yesterday, and today she was wearing a dress.
How crazy was last night, that her clothes were no longer wearable?
Perhaps she had her charms, but she was wild.
His time was not worth spending on this kind of woman.
“No.” Even if they were to have a divorce, now was not the time.
If she were to lose Zong Jinghao as he supports, she would return back to her state eight years ago.
A fish out of the water, helpless.
Zong Jinghao stared at her. She was stunned, panicked, and disoriented like a deer in headlights. She was hesitating and at a loss. He was caught off guard by the sudden throb in his heart but he sneered. She was fooling around with other men, but she wanted to keep the marriage?
Absurd! Ridiculous!
He remained indifferent and distant. “I’m giving you the chance to be with that man together and forever, but you’re telling me no?”
Lin Xinyan was in a panic, and she was fearful. She was afraid Zong Jinghao really wanted to divorce her.
In that moment, Lin Xinyan thought about his unexpected kiss. Without further thoughts, she leaned over and kissed him.
The time froze.
Zong Jinghao was stunned for a moment. He lowered his eyelids and stared at the woman who was kissing his lips. He had forgotten how to react.
She was slutty in her real life, but her kissing techniques were like a beginner’s.
