Stealing Your Heart Chapter 406

As curious as Chen Shihan was, she did not continue questioning Li Zhan since it was supposed to be a surprise.

When the two reached outside, a jeep drove into the driveway, and Chen Qing stepped out of the car. “Ji? You’re back?”

Li Zhan responded with a polite nod. Chen Qing questioned, “You guys are going out?”

Chen Shihan nodded. “It’s been a while, so he asked me out for some fun.”

If it were any other time, Chen Qing would not stop them from going out, but not then.

Chen Qing had people spreading the news about Lin Xinyan’s alleged murder to pressure Zong Jinghao. For the same reason, Chen Qing had come home to pick up Chen Shihan before going over to the Wens’.

“You can’t go out with Ji today. I promised Uncle Wen that we’d meet him at his house later.”

“At my house?” Li Zhan started to panic because he was so close to bringing Chen Shihan out.

This won’t do. I have to figure something out!

“I think you guys will do fine without us. Shihan and I have our own plans.” Li Zhan then put his arm around Chen Shihan’s shoulder to have her walk with him.

Having cooped up at home for several days, Chen Shihan wanted to go out and have some fun too, so she did not resist Li Zhan.

“Shihan! Did you not hear what I said?” Chen Qing’s words stopped Chen Shihan in her tracks, and she turned back to her father. “Dad, please.”

“We haven’t seen each other for a while, Mr. Chen. We’re just going out for some fun, and I promise to send her… send her back safely afterward.” Li Zhan hesitated because he was not sure if he could live up to that promise.

Can I actually send Chen Shihan back home safely?

Why does Zong Jinghao want me to draw her out?

At that moment, Li Zhan realized that the matter at hand involved not only the Chen family. It also involved his own father.

“Since Mr. Chen doesn’t want you to go out, I should probably head home with you guys then.” Li Zhan continued to play coy, and Chen Qing agreed to it after a brief silence.

He was unsure if Li Zhan knew what was going on, but he decided to leave that to Wen Qing.

The Chen family and the Wen family lived in a small neighborhood, and a park was the only thing that separated their houses, so there was no need to drive a car.
