Stealing Your Heart Chapter 372
After Wen Qing entered the house, Li Jing brought him a pair of indoor slippers.
Without moving an inch, Wen Qing stood there and asked, “What’s wrong with you today?”
“Come in first.” Li Jing left the slippers next to him, thinking it was not something she could explain in just one or two sentences.
Wen Qing scoffed at her, waiting to hear her explanation.
It’s not a difficult task to ask Lin Xinyan out for a meal, is it? She can’t even do this much?
He put on the slippers, walked inside, and sat on the sofa. “So tell me, what’s going on?”
Li Jing sat next to him. She had been contemplating how to tell Wen Qing about that episode since her return from the clothing store.
However, when it was finally time for her to talk about it, she could not bring herself to start the conversation.
“Hey, say something!” Wen Qing requested impatiently.
“She’s a nice girl, so I didn’t have the heart to…” Li Jing uttered after a long pause.
Wen Qing lowered his voice. “So you didn’t ask her out?” Veins on his temple could be seen as he tried to suppress his anger.
Li Jing looked at him. “No, I didn’t. You know Zong Jinghao’s temperament very well. If he finds out what you did, it will badly affect your relationship with him. Do you really want that to happen?”
Li Jing knew that Wen Qing cared a lot about what Zong Jinghao thought of him. She was so sure that eighty percent of it was because of Wen Xian.
“I think we can be honest with Zong Jinghao. Tell him about this matter and leave it to him to talk to Lin Xinyan. Let’s not meddle…”
Wen Qing grew rather impatient and interrupted Li Jing, “Do you know Lin Xinyan actually knows how to make Tea Silk?”
Does she really think I’m not aware of all this? Does she think I didn’t think that far?
Li Jing was stunned. Lin Xinyan knows how to make Tea Silk? Isn’t that an ancestral technique that’s only passed down within the Cheng family? Where did she learn that?
“Who told you that?” Li Jing asked in disbelief.
Wen Qing heaved a long sigh. “The man whom I sent to Baicheng for an investigation. Don’t you think I know the pros and cons of all this? For someone as smart as Jinghao, I’m sure he already knows that Lin Xinyan knows how to make Tea Silk. Moreover, I don’t think Lin Xinyan could learn the technique while keeping him in the dark. Don’t you think so?”
With widened eyes, Li Jing asked, “So, you’re saying that he knows?”
Wen Qing was sure of it.
He never loathed Lin Xinyan because she had given him two adorable children – he truly liked her.
Even though he was upset, he would never blame or hate Lin Xinyan.
After knowing that incident, he made up his mind to separate Lin Xinyan and Zong Jinghao.
