Stealing Your Heart

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 46

Lin Xinyan was puzzled. There was no anesthesia in this medicine box; even if there was, she wouldn’t be able to use it, as she had never studied medicine, and anesthesia could not be simply administered.

How to ease the pain?

“Umm, maybe you should go to the hospital. I think your injury is quite serious—”

Hot and humid breathing enveloped her in an instant.

In the next second, her lips were blocked by his, and she was in a daze for a moment. Then, she raised her hand to push him, but both of her hands were caught, making her unable to move.

His kiss was more passionate than before. His tongue slid past her teeth to toy with hers, as he sucked and licked every corner of the interior of her mouth.

His movements were delicate and lasting, but his strength was domineering.

Lin Xinyan’s body completely stiffened, but she closed her eyes again to savor it to find out if there was any similarity to that night.

At a certain moment, her heart suddenly pounded, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

She wanted to forget the feelings that she remembered so clearly.

Compared with Zong Jinghao, her feelings were profound, whereas Zong Jinghao was not sober and had chaotic thoughts, so he couldn’t remember the details of that night. He didn’t have much feeling, and only clearly knew that he had slept with a woman and ruined the innocence of that woman.

He was responsible.

The impulse and great times Lin Xinyan gave him was something that Bai Zhuwei had never given him before.

“Weren’t you afraid?” His eyes were particularly beautiful, as if they were filled with a puddle of water, looking so clear and deep, while mixing with a trace of incomprehensible emotions. He looked at her. “Didn’t you know it was dangerous?”

He was really surprised that she would rush up to him.

Lin Xinyan held her breath. Of course, I was afraid. It was just that the situation at the time made me act out of reason.

If she was given three seconds to calm down, she might not do so.

What filled her mind now was why Shen Xiuqing could do such a reckless thing, and what drove her to act like that.

Could it be that something really happened the day Zong Jinghao and I went to the Lins?

Zong Jinghao glanced over her wet lips. Although she still rejected this time, it was not as strong as before.

Is she used to my kisses?

“What are you thinking?” Zong Jinghao took the gauze from her and wrapped it around his wound.

Lin Xinyan was distracted earlier. When she saw him dressing the wound, she said, “I haven’t done cleaning—”

“It’s okay,” he said in a calm tone.

Looking at his action, Lin Xinyan expressed her doubts, “Has Shen Xiuqing lost her mind that she actually dared to make a scene here? Did you really not touch—”

Zong Jinghao shot her a cold and gloomy look. What does she trying to say?

Is she suspecting me?

This was a mystery. From Lin Xinyan’s point of view, if Shen Xiuqing could come here recklessly to make a scene, something serious must have happened, otherwise, she would not be so crazy.

“I did not!” He shouted.

What kind of person does she think I am? A person that can do any woman?

“Why would she come here to make trouble, and even want to kill you? Although this approach is very mindless, it is absolutely impossible to do such crazy things without being forced into desperation.”

Lin Xinyan couldn’t figure it out, but Zong Jinghao knew that it might have something to do with Lin Guoan. His face darkened.

Zong Jinghao didn’t say it, so Lin Xinyan thought that he had no idea as well.

“Okay then, I’ll get back to work.” With doubts in her mind, she packed up the medicine box, whereas Zong Jinghao made a sound, as he thought of something, and reminded, “Lin Guoan may come to you in these two days.”

Lin Xinyan stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him. “How do you know?”

Then, as if realizing something, she asked, “It has something to do with Lin Group, and also you?”

She didn’t know the details, but she knew that it definitely had a direct relationship with Zong Jinghao.

Otherwise, Shen Xiuqing wouldn’t be so crazy.

“Why do you do that?” Lin Xinyan didn’t feel sorry for Shen Xiuqing and Lin Guoan, but she just didn’t understand Zong Jinghao’s approach.

Zong Jinghao sneered, “She’s allowed to do despicable things, and yet I’m not allowed to play some tricks?”

Lin Xinyan gasped. Is he holding grudges over what happened that night?

She thought silently in her heart that she would never offend this man in the future.

Standing up, Zong Jinghao walked over to sit down at his desk and said drily, “Come in.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Guan Jing pushed open the door and walked in with documents in his hand. He was stunned upon seeing Lin Xinyan, not expecting her to be here.

“This is all the information about Lin Group.” Guan Jing handed over the file.

Hearing Lin Group, Lin Xinyan stopped walking, trying to find out something she didn’t know.

“Want to have a look?” asked Zong Jinghao, who read through her mind.

Lin Xinyan nodded, and replied frankly, “Yes.”

Zong Jinghao didn’t reach out to take the file but raised his chin at Guan Jing. “Give it to her.”

Guan Jing was dumbfounded.

When did Lin Xinyan’s relationship with Mr. Zong get so close?

His eyes twitched, as he couldn’t understand what Zong Jinghao was thinking.

“Mr. Guan?” Lin Xinyan extended her hand while she reminded Guan Jing in a low voice, after he didn’t pass her the file.

“Oh, okay, here you go.” Guan Jing handed over the file. “This is Lin Group’s business in recent years.” Then, he added contemptuously, “Which is getting worse every year.”

It was not that Guan Jing looked down on Lin Guoan. It was just that he couldn’t make others think highly of him.

Lin Group was considered to be a family-inherited enterprise. It was founded by the grandfather of Lin Guoan. Although it didn’t flourish, the company’s development was considered stable.

But when it was inherited by Lin Guoan, there were two great turmoil in over 20 years that he had taken over; the first time was 19 years ago when it almost went bankrupt, and later after he married Zhuang Zijin, only did he manage to save it from bankruptcy.

This time, it was also him who put the company into a crisis. Even if Zong Jinghao didn’t add fuel to the fire, he might not be able to survive it either.

Lin Xinyan knew that something happened to Lin Guoan’s company, but she didn’t know it was so serious.

Previously, while she made Lin Guoan divorce Shen Xiuqing, he was a little reluctant. Now that Shen Xiuqing became like this, he might not be in a good condition too.

She didn’t feel the pleasure of revenge, but just a deep melancholy.

Putting down the file, she went out holding the medicine box.

As expected by Zong Jinghao, when Lin Xinyan returned to the villa after work, she saw Lin Guoan.

Perhaps he was looking for help, so he brought over everything that he didn’t give Lin Xinyan last time, including the piano.

Learning that he was Lin Xinyan’s father, Aunt Yu naturally showed him warm hospitality.

“Your dad has been waiting for you for a long time, and he said that those are the things you liked. He’s afraid you will be uncomfortable living here, so he asked people to send them over,” said Aunt Yu after seeing Lin Xinyan come back, while refilling the drinks.

Lin Xinyan turned to look at Zong Jinghao, who looked expressionless. As he unbuttoned his suit, Lin Xinyan reached out. “Your hand is injured. I’ll help you take it off.”

Zong Jinghao replied in agreement and let go, allowing Lin Xinyan to serve him.

Looking at the two of them, Aunt Yu smiled wider while the folds around her eyes deepened. They were becoming more and more like husband and wife.

Lin Guoan stood up, somewhat at a loss.

He didn’t expect that Lin Xinyan really had a good relationship with Zong Jinghao.

Until today, he had never thought Lin Xinyan was good-looking, why would Zong Jinghao fall in love with her?

Lin Xinyan hung Zong Jinghao’s coat before walking in and saying blankly, “What brings you here?”

Lin Guoan only realized one thing at this moment. She had not called him dad since she came back, and always addressed him by ‘you’.

Is she holding grudge against him for sending her abroad?

“Yan—” Lin Guoan spoke after hesitating for a while.

He was about to become a poor wretch and might even go into prison. How could he be bothered about his pride?

Lin Xinyan sat down next to Zong Jinghao. Perhaps, she subconsciously wanted to act in front of Lin Guoan, so that he thought that her relationship with Zong Jinghao was good.

“The things that I gave you last time were not complete. This piano is a birthday present from your mother. I specially sent it here for you—”

“Just go straight to the point. I don’t think you have the heart of a loving father who visits me and gives me stuffs.”
