Stealing Your Heart Chapter 44

Huh?

Lin Xinyan turned around.

Zong Jinghao didn’t explain, but wiped his hands slowly, and put the napkin on the table, before he stood up, and walked towards her. “Let’s go to the office together.”

Lin Xinyan’s mouth fell open. Together?

Did I hear it wrong?

“We go together—is it appropriate?” After all, no one knew their relationship. If people saw them going to the company together, there might be some kind of rumors spreading around.

“What’s so inappropriate? You’re married. Who would dare to say anything?” Aunt Yu interjected, thinking that it was a good thing for Zong Jinghao to ask Lin Xinyan goes to company together. Is he already accepting Lin Xinyan?

After all, they were married, so their relationship should be close.

Lin Xinyan was forced to go out with Zong Jinghao.

Like a surveillance officer, Aunt Yu only went inside the house after watching her get into Zong Jinghao’s car.

Lin Xinyan forced a laugh. “Aunt Yu, heh, is so zealous.”

Instead of replying her, Zong Jinghao asked, “Are you so afraid of others knowing our relationship?”

Lin Xinyan was baffled at his question. What’s there to be afraid of?

Disclosing their relationship would only do her good, and no harm.

“Our marriage is a deal. If such a short marriage is made known to the people in your company, it’ll be troublesome for you,” she said calmly while looking down.

Despite her planning, she was feeling empty and panicked, as she didn’t know how true the answer was she guessed.

If it was false, she would just see it as a misunderstanding.

If it was true, was this man able to accept this child?

“You’re saying it’s for my sake then?” A hint of faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth—it seemed that this answer pleased him.

With complicated train of thoughts in her mind, she clenched her fists, and tentatively said, “I guess so. After divorcing, you will immediately marry Miss Bai, right?”

The mention of Bai Zhuwei made Zong Jinghao’s face grew gloomy. Turning his head sideways, he asked with a fierce look, “Are you testing me?”

Indeed, Lin Xinyan wanted to test whether he would marry Bai Zhuwei, and also wanted to know whether he had a deep affection for Bai Zhuwei.

Lin Xinyan pretended to be calm. “I’m just curious about your relationship with Miss Bai. Testing you? Is there a need for me to do so? What good will it do me?”

Although what Lin Xinyan said was reasonable, Zong Jinghao didn’t believe her.

He felt that there was another meaning behind her words, but he didn’t know specifically what it was.

His intuition told him that she had a purpose.

At this moment, the car was already in front of the company’s building. Usually, Zong Jinghao’s car was parked in the underground garage. This time, he parked in the parking lot above.

Lin Xinyan got off the car and stood aside, waiting for Zong Jinghao to go in first before she went in.

Zong Jinghao glanced at her, whereas she forced a faint smile. “I don’t dare to cause you any troubles.”

“How do you know that I’m not willing to take the trouble?” He asked her in a calm tone, and then the look in his eyes changed. “Can you read my mind?”

Lin Xinyan was rendered speechless.

Seeing a car coming in, she took a step back to distance herself from him completely.

Zong Jinghao glanced at her indifferently before turning around to walk towards the building.

The quietness of the morning diluted the usual tense working atmosphere, and even the entire building now seemed a little laid-back.

The person who just drove in was also the employee of Wanyue Group, who worked in technical department. Seeing Lin Xinyan standing there, he walked up to her. “Are you working at Wanyue too?”

Lin Xinyan gave him a polite smile. “Yes.”

“Let’s go inside together.” On the bridge of the man’s nose was a pair of round-framed glasses. He was thin and had fair skin, looking very gentle.

Lin Xinyan nodded her head.
