Stealing Your Heart Chapter 423


    “I’m sorry for being straightforward.” Since Mrs. Chen felt that he would feel embarrassed, she asked,


    “Have I scared you?”


    Li Zhan shook his head in response. The next moment, he stared at her seriously and asked, “Have I


    been too obvious?”


    In the beginning, she wasn’t sure what he hinted at. After a while, she said as if she found out the truth,


    “You… Are you really fond of Han?”


    Li Zhan scratched his head awkwardly and said, “It’s funny, isn’t it?”


    However, Mrs. Chen immediately waved her hands and said, “Not at all. We are not that close-minded.


    Besides, since you and Han are adults, both of you should have dated someone by now.”


    After all, Li Zhan hadn’t had a girlfriend, while Chen Shihan hadn’t dated anyone for a long time


    because she was choosy.


    Even though Li Zhan confessed his love all of a sudden, Mrs. Chen didn’t think that it was too abrupt.


    Instead, she believed there was a good chance that Li Zhan and Chen Shihan could be together.


    On the other hand, he was surprised that Mrs. Chen supported them to be together.


    Doesn’t she know Chen Qing always wishes for Chen Shihan to marry Zong Jinghao?


    As he was lost in thought, Mrs. Chen said smilingly, “Han is upstairs. You may look for her now.


    Anyway, you know which room is hers.”


    Actually, Chen Qing didn’t tell Mrs. Chen about his n because he thought it wasn’t necessary to let


    her know. But still, she was aware of it after overhearing the conversation between Chen Shihan and


    Chen Qing.


    Nheless, she didn’t wish to see her daughter marry Zong Jinghao.


    Although Chen Qing imed that he wanted Chen Shihan to marry Zong Jinghao for the sake of the


    Chen family, she could tell that he had an ulterior motive.


    It was a secret buried deep in Chen Qing’s heart.


    After being married to each other for many years, she could sense it once something was weighing on


    his mind.


    Meanwhile, Li Zhan was at a loss. He didn’t expect that Mrs. Chen was open-minded enough to allow


    him to go to Chen Shihan’s room directly.


    “I…”


    As such, he was uncertain whether Mrs. Chen was being sincere or merely testing him.


    “Why do you seem confused? Well, I have known you since you were a child. Why shouldn’t I trust


    you?” Mrs. Chen said smilingly as if she could read his mind.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    As such, Li Zhan nodded his head and replied, “Okay. I’ll look for Shihan right now.”


    Mrs. Chen waved her hands as a sign of approval. She was deep in thought when he went upstairs. I


    will never allow Chen Qing to marry our daughter to Zong Jinghao like some goods.


    As a matter of fact, she had been pondering about the ways to stop Chen Qing for quite some time.


    Now that Li Zhan happened to be here, she believed that the golden opportunity had arisen.


    When Li Zhan reached the first floor, he couldn’t help but nce at Mrs. Chen. Since the two families


    were in a good rtionship, their members always met each other. As far as he could remember, Mrs.


    Chen was a loving and caring wife. She treated Chen Qing with respect but didn’t seem to love Chen


    Qing passionately.


    Besides, Mrs. Chen would never say no to Chen Qing’s demands. Therefore, Li Zhan believed that she


    wasn’t aware of Chen Qing’s n for Chen Shihan to marry Zong Jinghao. Otherwise, she wouldn’t


    allow him to approach Chen Shihan at this moment.


    Perhaps Chen Qing and Wen Qing don’t want to publicize it because they haven’t confirmed the


    marriage proposal yet.


    So, Chen Qing might tell her only after they have finalized it.


    Luckily, Mrs. Chen isn’t aware of the n yet. Otherwise, I might not have the chance to approach


    Chen Shihan now.


    Li Zhan knocked on the door as soon as he reached Chen Shihan’s room. Meanwhile, she was still


    wearing her nightdress and hadn’t gotten up yet because Chen Qing prohibited her from leaving the


    house. Usually, Mrs. Chen would give her some fruits at this hour. At this moment, shey on the right


    side of the bed and crossed her legs. Besides, her nightdress only reached her thighs and covered her


    private part. Since she didn’t expect to see any outsiders in the house, she didn’t tie her long hair and


    shook her legsfortably. When she heard someone knocked on the door, she said casually, “Come


    in.”


    Creak…


    When the door was pushed open, she still didn’t nce at the person. Instead, she focused on the


    screen of her phone and asked, “Mom, is there any pineapple left in the house?”


    Since the weather was rather hot, she suddenly had the appetite to have some sour and sweet


    refreshments.


    Meanwhile, Li Zhan stood at the door and stared at her shaking her legs. He didn’t utter a word but


    merely leaned against the door jamb.


    They knew each other very well because they grew up together. Hence, he didn’t really look at her


    closely after they became adults.


    Even though he could hardly see her face now, he knew that she wasn’t the little girl who always


    followed him in the past.


    On the other hand, since Chen Shihan didn’t hear Mrs. Chen’s voice, she frowned and asked, “Mom?”


    Once she looked up, she noticed that the person wasn’t her mom. Although Li Zhan was upside down


    when she nced at him, she soon recollected herself and turned around nervously to cover her legs


    with the nightdress. Then, she said nervously, “You… why are you here?”


    Nevertheless, Li Zhan still leaned against the jamb when he replied smilingly, “Don’t you think it’s too


    late to cover your body now? I have stared at you for some time now.”


    But before he finished, Chen Shihan threw a pillow at him and yelled, “Get out!”


    He didn’t dodge but caught the pillow instead. After that, he continued to look at her and said, “I have


    never realized that you’re actually quite pretty.”


    Meanwhile, Chen Shihan couldn’t help but feel joyous since heplimented her. After all, all women


    would enjoy listening topliments from men.


    She lifted her head and said, “Don’t you think it’s toote to realize it now?”


    As Li Zhan held the pillow, he stared at her face closely. As if he pondered over it for a while, he


    answered gently, “Yup.”


    Meanwhile, she straightened her hair and the nightdress with her hands. She was wearing a pale pink


    silk sling nightdress with a long sleeve silk robe that covered it. However, since she didn’t put on the


    belt, the nightdress hung on her shoulder loosely and revealed her neck and corbone.


    Li Zhan couldn’t help but fixed his gaze upon her neck. As Chen Shihan straightened her robe and put


    on the belt, she asked, “Why are you staring at me? Are you fantasizing about me?”


    After getting off the bed, she came up to him gleefully and said, “But you don’t have a chance anymore


    because I am in love with someone else.”
