Stealing Your Heart Chapter 396

Wen Qing tried persuading Zong Jinghao. “I’ve told you my stance. There’s no reason for me to harm you,” Wen Qing stated convincingly.

Zong Jinghao knitted his brows, and his pupils glowed warily as he peered at Wen Qing in suspicion.

“I don’t need any help. I will not allow anyone to touch my loved ones, especially not someone who claims to do it for my own good,” Zong Jinghao pronounced firmly.

“So you’re not gonna change your mind?” Wen Qing asked, cracking his knuckles.

Zong Jinghao glared at him. “I’ve always respected you, and I still do. If you spare my wife, I’m willing to bury the hatchet. But if you refuse to relent, don’t say I didn’t warn you later on.”

Wen Qing pressed his hand against his chest in disbelief. “This is outrageous! I can’t believe you’re threatening me because of a woman!” he exclaimed with great difficulty.

“She is my wife!” Zong Jinghao growled.

“She is your wife, but the both of you are not in the same boat! This is the reality!” Wen Qing yelled at him.

“I’m totally aware of the reality. I know full well what I’m doing,” Zong Jinghao persisted. His handsome face hardened as he took a last look at Wen Qing before turning to leave.

“You won’t be able to save her. All the evidence will be against her!” Wen Qing roared behind him.

Zong Jinghao’s steps halted.

“If you agree to divorce her, nothing will happen. Shihan is more suitable for you. Her family matches up to ours. She’s a better candidate. I’m doing this for your own sake, and I don’t care if you will hate me for it. I can’t watch you spiral down the wrong path because of this woman!” Wen Qing’s voice blasted loudly in a long harangue.

However, Zong Jinghao only tilted his head and looked at him calmly.

Wen Qing could feel a storm brewing behind the man’s calm facade.

Zong Jinghao strode towards his car without another word, and the car sped off.

Wen Qing’s steps faltered, and he fell back on the chair as he watched the other man leave in such a determined way.

Wen Qing knew that gaze.

He gripped the chair handle tightly as a voice rang out from over his shoulder.

“Are you afraid?” Chen Qing patted him on the shoulder.

“I’m afraid he might do something drastic this time,” Wen Qing said in a worried tone.

“You’re afraid he will take your life?” Chen Qing asked.

Wen Qing admitted his fear with a slight nod.

He simply wanted Zong Jinghao to give up on Lin Xinyan; it was never his intention to make an enemy out of him.

“Well, if he really cares for that woman, he will budge,” Chen Qing assured him.

Wen Qing’s mind raced through all the possibilities. True, Zong Jinghao was able to get to where he is today because of me. He is nothing if I’m no longer on his side.

The same goes for Shen Peichuan. I’m the reason why everything has been going on smoothly for him.

Zong Jinghao won’t be able to save her no matter how many tricks he has up his sleeves.
