Stealing Your Heart Chapter 72

When she did not hear a response, she turned around. “Ya—”

However, the person behind her was not the one she was expecting. In fact, it was someone she never expected.

“Why are you here?” Lin Xinyan unconsciously curled her fingers and tightened her grip on the pencil.

Zong Jinghao looked around the room. It was white-themed and minimalistic.

“Is this where you work?” He walked to the French windows and looked out.

Lin Xinyan put down the pencil and stood up. “I’m talking to you.”

Zong Jinghao turned around, looked at her, and laughed lightly. “I’m here for you, obviously.”

Lin Xinyan’s hands gripped onto the edge of the table behind. She stared at him, hoping to see his true intentions.

What did he want?

Yet she could not sense anything.

“You’ve seen Mrs. William, haven’t you?” She asked, albeit more like saying a statement.

She could not think of anyone else who would force her to go back there.

Zong Jinghao walked over, pulled out the chair behind her, and sat down. “Yes,” he answered honestly.

“Why?” Lin Xinyan almost shouted.

She could not understand why he wanted to do this.

“There’s no why.” Zong Jinghao grabbed on her wrist and pulled her towards him until she sat on his legs. Lin Xinyan was unwilling, and she struggled to get out of him.

“I’m injured.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Lin Xinyan said.

Zong Jinghao sighed. “Aren’t you curious about what I gave to Mrs. William?”

Lin Xinyan was curious. What kind of item was it that made Mrs. William breaks her own rule?

“What did you give her?” Lin Xinyan asked.

“You’re in LEO. You should have heard about her husband—Mr. William.” Zong Jinghao caressed her back, trying to appease her.

Lin Xinyan nodded. “I’ve heard of it. It seemed like they were a loving couple. Unfortunately Mr. William passed away at young age, and she never married anyone else.”

“Do you know what her husband, Mr. William had been doing?” Zong Jinghao had already successfully diverted her attention.

Lin Xinyan really had no idea. She shook her head.

Zong Jinghao hugged her waist and made her sit. Lin Xinyan struggled, unwillingly. “I’m injured, can you just sit still?” Zong Jinghao said with a low voice.

Lin Xinyan felt upset. Did he not know that this was inappropriate?

That this action was intimate?

Why did he do this every time?

“Mr. William was a jewelry designer.” Zong Jinghao said.

Lin Xinyan raised her eyebrow in surprise. Mr. William was a jewelry designer!

“What did this have to do with the thing you gave Mrs. William?” Lin Xinyan could not understand what connections they could have.

“When Mrs. William met Mr. William, she was still an unknown fashion designer. It was during the first time that Mrs. William’s designs went on stage at that fashion conference. Coincidentally, Mr. William also attended the event…”

“So, they met?” Lin Xinyan could imagine the scene. “It should have been romantic.”

There was a hint of jealousy that flashed under her eyes. Once upon a time, she had wanted love, but she had lost the opportunity and rights to it.

She was just a single mother at this moment.

Zong Jinghao saw the jealousy that flashed across her eyes. He tightened his hold on her waist. “They did meet, but it wasn’t romantic. In fact, you could describe it as embarrassing—”
