Stealing Your Heart Chapter 59
The divorce certificate had not been issued, but it has been six years. The marriage can also be automatically dissolved if a normal couple has been separated for six years, can’t it?
Lin Xinyan pretended to be calm. “If the husband and wife have been separated for two years, the marriage can be automatically dissolved—”
“Who taught you the law?” Zong Jinghao mocked.
Six years ago, this woman disappeared without a trace.
He had become accustomed to having one more person at home, but since she left, the villa had become deserted again, without any human touch and sense of home, while his heart had also become empty.
Lin Xinyan thought he was ridiculous.
“You are about to get engaged, is there still a marriage between us? What good will it do you? Don’t you know that it is a crime of bigamy?”
Zong Jinghao didn’t get angry, and just looked at her calmly.
She was still as eloquent as ever.
Being stared at like this made Lin Xinyan nervous, as there seemed to be a large invisible weight on her chest, and her hands kept shaking. “I still have to work.”
After speaking, she wanted to escape this tight space.
Zong Jinghao grabbed her arm and pulled, causing Lin Xinyan’s body to lean back sharply. With his arm around her waist, he pulled hard, and her body was pressed against his tightly without any gaps. Through the fabrics, she could even feel his burning hot body and his strong heartbeat.
Lin Xinyan glared at him, her body stiff and not daring to move, while she said in a stern voice, “Let go of me, otherwise I’ll sue you!”
With his fingertips against her wrist, Zong Jinghao placed her hand on his clothes, his eyes slightly narrowed and moist. He asked in a low and hoarse voice, “Sue me over what?”
Without waiting for Lin Xinyan to answer, he added, “Over molestation?”
Before Lin Xinyan could react, his body pressed against hers, as he grabbed the back of her head, and kissed her lips.
He tasted the familiar breath that fascinated him.
Lin Xinyan gasped, and in an instant, her neck and cheeks were all burning red, like being burned by fire. She felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. So she forced herself to calm down, before she decided to open her mouth, and bite the unruly lips on her mouth.
Zong Jinghao was in pain, and slightly loosened his grip. Lin Xinyan took advantage of it and pushed him away.
Then, she turned around and ran away.
After being pushed, Zong Jinghao stumbled backward. Looking at her fleeing in a hurry, he raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth and saw bright red blood on the back of his hand.
This woman bit me. She didn’t do that before.
With her breath remaining in his mouth, he moved the tip of his tongue over his teeth and swallowed together with the taste of blood.
“Hao.” He Ruilin stood tremblingly at the door of the stairwell.
Judging from her state, she should have seen the scene just now.
Looking up, Zong Jinghao didn’t care about her feelings, as he curled his lips and said, “The engagement is cancelled. I will not marry you.”
He Ruilin panicked and rushed to grab his arm. “Hao, our families have agreed on it, and it’s also what your dad wants—”
Zong Jinghao shook off her hand unceremoniously. He might have exerted too much force, so He Ruilin was caught off guard and stumbled backward. If it weren’t for the wall behind, she would definitely fall down.
“I will explain it to my dad myself.” Zong Jinghao didn’t mean to help her up, and was about to leave when she put her arms around his leg and cried, “Hao, after so many years, why can’t you forgive me?”
Zong Jinghao closed his eyes, and said coldly and resolutely, “You should have thought of the consequences when you lie to me.”
Six years ago, she said she had a miscarriage, and he thought it was true. Even if there was no love, he wanted to be responsible for her.
But she lied to him.
She had never been pregnant.
This was also why he did not marry her six years ago.
This time they wanted to engage only because it served as a union of two families by marriage, which was an order given by Master Zong.
Without Lin Xinyan, he was willing to accept this order, but not now!
“Hao, I was wrong. I was wrong. Forgive me this time, can’t you?” Without bothering her image and her dignity, He Ruilin just wanted to get back the man she had tried so hard to get, and whom she loved so much.
I can give you whatever you want, except marriage.” He bent over to pry He Ruilin’s fingers. “You are the daughter of the He family, and there are so many men in the world, why bother to shame yourself?”
“Hao, please—”
