Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 944

Zong Yanxi heard the door opening behind her. She did not turn her head, however, because she knew it must be him.

Jiang Mohan slowly walked to the chair opposite her with his head involuntarily turned towards her.

“Yanxi,” he called subconsciously.

Hearing that, Zong Yanxi lifted her emotionless eyes at him.

“President Jiang,” she replied coldly.

“Are we going to treat each other like strangers now?” he asked while sitting down.

Zong Yanxi smiled, “Were we ever familiar with each other? We shared the same bed for three years, but you never wanted to get to know me, and I was never in your heart. So haven’t we always been strangers?”

Jiang Mohan stared at her in a daze. “Back then-”

“I didn’t come here to talk about the past. Let’s talk about the present.” She pushed the tablet she brought in front of him. On the screen was today’s breaking news.

Right after Hengkang invested the last instalment of its funds, Xinhai Investment declared bankruptcy, meaning that all the invested funds had amounted to nothing.

Of course, that was only how it appeared on the surface. In actual fact, the sum of money would be transferred to another company under Rui Mei.

Jiang Mohan remained calm as he also knew about it. He only gave a quick glance at the screen before looking at her again. “This is what I owe you.”

“Is money the only thing you owe me?” she questioned. Her cold gaze now had a tinge of emotion.

Jiang Mohan stayed quiet as his clenched fists which were on the table.

Zong Yanxi stood up. “You also owe me not one but two lives. That fire should’ve taken my life, too, not just the baby’s! But I’m still alive. Jiang Mohan, you will never be able to repay all that you owe me!”

With that, she turned to walk towards the door. Then she paused her steps with her back facing him. “From now on, we’re nothing but strangers.”

With that said, she left the room.

“Wait,” uttered the man as he grabbed her hand and stared at her with bloodshot eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Zong Yanxi raised her head to look at him. “Tell you what?”

“The baby,” he replied with a hoarse voice.

The woman laughed as her eyes reddened. “Did you give me a chance? Have you forgotten how you were in the past? Need me to remind you?”

Jiang Mohan was unable to respond. His aching heart was suffocating him.

The baby’s gone… and it’s my fault.

Despite that, he still felt some hope. “You’re just lying to me because you want to seek revenge from me, right?”

“Even if I loathe you so much that I want you dead, I won’t use my child to seek revenge from you. Because you’re unworthy of that!” shouted Zong Yanxi.

Jiang Mohan looked into her trembling eyes and damp lashes. “I… killed my child?”

How he wished she could deny his claim at this moment! But that did not happen——that was the truth.

“I am sorry…”

He did not know what else he could say.
