Stealing Your Heart Chapter 466

Never in a million years did Li Jing think Lin Xinyan would pay them a visit, but she remained hospitable. After all, the former was Zong Jinghao’s wife.

“You’re alone?” The older woman asked.

Lin Xinyan hummed in reply.

“Who is it? Of all times…” Wen Qing walked out of his study room, and he was stunned to find out who their guest was.

The man looked around to see if Zong Jinghao was here, but was a little disappointed when he saw no one else.

“What are you doing here?” He asked nonchalantly.

Lin Xinyan stood still like a statue and stared at him quietly.

The man before her eyes was related to her in so many ways. By right, she should be nervous and elated.

Yet now, she felt dejected.

Her eye contact made Wen Qing feel uncomfortable, and he looked away, “Why are you staring at me like this?”

Lin Xinyan still did not turn her attention elsewhere. She pressed her voice and said in a gentle tone, “Can we talk?”

Wen Qing frowned. “Did he ask you to come?”

Did Zong Jinghao ask her to be our mediator?

Wen Qing could not help but feel delighted at the thought of it.

“Nope. He doesn’t know I’m here.”

A line formed between Wen Qing’s brows. He then responded in a cold voice, “What possibly could we talk about?”

“Am I your enemy? Why can’t we talk?” Lin Xinyan got a little agitated all of a sudden. It was not because of how aloof Wen Qing was. It was because of how confused and exhausted she was in trying to make sense of this mess.

Wen Qing pressed his lips and did not utter a word.

Li Jing walked over, put on a smile, and nudged her husband, “Come on. Perhaps she does have some important matters to discuss with you.”

Wen Qing’s expression softened. While Li Jing was dragging him to the study room, she turned around and looked at Lin Xinyan. “Come.”

She made Wen Qing sit on a chair and whispered to his ears, “Think about Zong Jinghao. He’s your sister’s only child. Are you really going to cut ties with him? I know this is not what you want. The more you pull a long face, the more your nephew is going to fall out with you, and the more depressed you’d become.”

The woman understood her husband too well, and what she said was a wake-up call for Wen Qing. He finally calmed down and looked at his wife, “Alright. Give us some space then.”

Let’s see what Lin Xinyan wants to talk about.

Li Jing gave her husband a pat on his shoulder and grinned at Lin Xinyan. “Coffee or tea?”

The guest shook her head, “No, thank you.”

“Have a seat.” Li Jing pulled a chair over for her.

Lin Xinyan thanked her and sat on the chair. Wen Qing sat right opposite her across the other end of a square coffee table. Li Jing then left the room and closed the door.

“What do you want from me?” He asked.

She pressed her lips and looked at Wen Qing seriously, “I’m not your enemy and will never be.”

All of a sudden, their eyes met, and Wen Qing felt a little uneasy.

“I’m here to ask you one question, and I hope you’ll answer me honestly.” Not knowing what to expect from him, she looked at him and was overwhelmed by fear and anxiety.

She was afraid that Wen Qing was the cause of Cheng Yuxiu’s death.

Whatever outcome it might be, she knew she had to face the moment of truth.

Without a choice, she asked in a trembling voice, “Did you kill Cheng Yuxiu?”

Wen Qing squinted and stared at her in silence. “Is this what you want to ask?”

Lin Xinyan nodded with assurance. “Yes.”
