Stealing Your Heart Chapter 373

Zong Jinghao was not in a hurry to respond to Lin Xinyan’s questioning and continued to lean on the car seat, looking drunk. He squinted his eyes and let out a “Huh?” as if he did not hear her the first time.

Pursing her lips, Lin Xinyan asked again, “He wanted to matchmake you and that woman?”

This time, Lin Xinyan did not address Wen Qing as uncle because what he did today had crossed her bottom line.

Zong Jinghao squirmed in his seat. “Perhaps so.”

Lin Xinyan went silent.

She then pulled the car over, turned her head, and stared at him. “Don’t you have anything else to tell me?”

Zong Jinghao slowly looked up and was greeted by a pair of angry eyes. He smiled and asked deliberately, “What do you want me to say?”

Lin Xinyan felt a little distressed. I don’t ask much in this relationship. I only hope we can both be frank and truthful with each other.

She was willing to put her trust in him.

However, given that we’re both in a relationship, shouldn’t he at least explain his actions?

She wanted to keep the relationship going, but…

Lin Xinyan looked away and switched off the car engine. “You can drive yourself home.”

She felt a need to cool down alone as she was afraid that she would lose control over her emotions if they stayed in the same space any longer.

She got out of the car, closed the door behind her, and strode across the sidewalk.

She tilted her head upwards, hoping that the zephyr could clear her cluttered mind.

Zong Jinghao chased after her and caught her by the arm. “Where are you going?”

Lin Xinyan tried to get rid of him, but his grip on her was too tight.

She uttered, “I want to be alone. Please…”

“Are you jealous?”

“No,” Lin Xinyan denied firmly.

“Why are you angry then?”

“I’m not angry.”

“Yes, you are.”

Lin Xinyan looked at him, who was dressed in a black suit that further emphasized his muscular physique. At that moment, no trace of emotion could be seen on his face.

Does he really not know why I reacted this way? Does he not care?

“Yes, I’m angry,” Lin Xinyan admitted while pointing at his chest. “Do you know that I treasure our relationship very much, not only because of our two children but…”

She exerted more strength on the finger she had pointed at his heart. “Because there’s a spot reserved for you in here. I believe in you and our relationship. Do you know that your actions made me feel insecure and uncomfortable? I’m afraid that this is all my own imagination, that it’s just one-sided feelings. I’ve seen Zhuang Zijin’s failed marriage, so I’ve never really had high hopes in any relationship, but with you, it’s different. I actually wanted to commit myself and preserve our relationship. Zong Jinghao, let’s just end it here. Don’t pretend to be nice to me and then break my heart as that’s not the ending I expect.”

She used all her might to escape his grip. She wanted to leave that place soonest possible because she knew she would be more out of control if she continued to face him.

She despised being a grieving woman, but at that moment, she felt as if she was already one.

Zong Jinghao stepped forward and hugged her, but Lin Xinyan punched and kicked him uncontrollably. “Let me go! Let me go!”

Zong Jinghao held onto her hands and clasped them on his chest. “Easy… Easy…”

He had never explained himself to anyone in his life. He was not used to this as he had never bothered to do so for anyone. He always thought he should let his communication be simply ‘yes’ or ‘no’, without the need to justify further.

“Is my verbal explanation the only way to prove that I didn’t do anything that let you down?”

His dark eyes were like a bottomless lake.

Lin Xinyan was stunned and opened her eyes wide to stare at him. What does he mean?

She shuddered.

“In the same way, does it mean I’ve cheated on you if I choose not to explain myself?”

Zong Jinghao cupped the back of her head with his palm. “I’m really happy to hear you say such things.”

Lin Xinyan’s eyes started to get watery, and tears soon appeared at the edge of her eyes.
