Stealing Your Heart
Chapter 741

They were next to the room where Gu Huiyuan had supposedly planned to set Zong Jinghao up.

Shen Peichuan didn’t close the door correctly when he went outside to take a look, so Gu Huiyuan had pushed it open easily.

She looked calm and didn’t seem surprised to see them at all.

The woman was well aware that Su Zhan had betrayed her and told Zong Jinghao her plan.

She knew that perhaps, there would be a trap laid out right here for her.

Gu Huiyuan was just about to call her to inform that he had already gotten Zong Jinghao drunk. He also wanted to ask when she would be bringing a woman over.

Yet, she was now standing here in front of them.

Guan Jing stared at her in shock. “How did you…”

Gu Huiyuan laughed. “Please, Guan Jing. Are you still trying to hide the fact that you’ve betrayed your boss?”

Shen Peichuan turned to Guan Jing as though she was asking what was going on.

Ignoring Guan Jing’s pale face, Gu Huiyuan said to Zong Jinghao, “Haven’t you ever suspected that Guan Jing would lie to you? To be completely honest with you, he and I have teamed up to outwit you. I’m sure you can tell by now that we’ve been working together. His job was to keep you here while I went to the hospital to see your wife.”

“What did you do?” Zong Jinghao’s gaze darkened.

“According to the plan, Guan Jing would hold you back while I naturally went to do something nasty… But I eventually changed my mind. Revenge is never-ending, so I’ve decided to break that cycle,” she said nonchalantly before turning to Guan Jing with a smile. “What does it feel like to be deceived by the person you trust most, Mr. Zong?”

Zong Jinghao wasn’t buying it at all.

Guan Jing was in no rush to explain himself either, because at this very moment, he understood everything.

Gu Huiyuan had already known that he would tell Zong Jinghao her plan, so she knew what was coming for her today. Hence, instead of bringing the woman who was supposed to frame Zong Jinghao, she went with the flow and decided to test the trust between the two men by declaring that she and Guan Jing were working together.

Did she overhear me talking to him on the phone? Guan Jing wondered.

“Our collaboration is over, Guan Jing. Goodbye.” With a smile, she waved and left casually.

“Did you really work with her to set us up?” Shen Peichuan questioned.

Guan Jing glanced at him before turning to Zong Jinghao. “I never agreed to help her.”

Zong Jinghao didn’t probe into this matter, but his gaze was a frosty one. “You’ve been tricked twice by the same woman. What an embarrassment.”

He had only come up with this plan because he believed Guan Jing would be able to win Gu Huiyuan’s trust.

Yet, Guan Jing was the one on the receiving end.

To make things worse, he had been tricked twice by a woman. Even Zong Jinghao was beginning to question Guan Jing’s intelligence.

“I’m sorry.”

Guan Jing had thought Gu Huiyuan would trust him, so this was an error on his part.

“Take care of things here. I have to go.” Zong Jinghao had to return to the hospital to see Lin Xinyan.

Like I’d believe what that woman said.

“Go on. Leave this to us,” replied Shen Peichuan.

He, too, had understood what was going on here.

So Guan Jing thought he had managed to trick Gu Huiyuan, but he’s the one who was dancing in the palm of her hand all along.

Shen Peichuan patted Guan Jing on the shoulder to console him.

Guan Jing only felt his head hurt. I was tricked by the same woman—twice! What a f*cking embarrassment.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

He took it out and answered it.

Gu Huiyuan’s voice quickly came through. “Guan Jing…”

“Gu Huiyuan!” Guan Jing was beyond exasperated. This woman was truly the bane of his existence.

She had screwed him over time and time again.

When visiting Lin Xinyan, Gu Huiyuan had already decided to leave the country, but she felt like she was letting her father and brother down.

However, her head cleared up after listening to Lin Xinyan’s words. She now felt she wasn’t being selfish for choosing to give up on revenge.

Even so, she wanted to make things difficult for Guan Jing.

This man had refused to warm up to her body.

His loyalty toward Zong Jinghao was carved in his bones.

Gu Huiyuan stood at the boarding gate, gazing at the broad sky through the glass window. This was her last time looking at the city’s clouds. “You lied to me, Guan Jing, so I naturally had to leave you a gift. Did you like it?”

Guan Jing’s knuckles cracked as he gritted his teeth. “Do you get a sense of achievement from playing tricks on others?”

“Yup,” Gu Huiyuan answered with a quick laugh. “You tricked me, and I used you. We’re equal now, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

Then, she took a deep breath. “But there’s something I have to tell you before I leave. I’m pregnant.”

“Don’t even think about fooling me again, you b*tch. What are you up to this time?”

Gu Huiyuan fell silent for a moment and chuckled. “I just wanted to piss you off.”

“Gu Huiyuan!”

All that remained in Guan Jing now was rage.

Hearing his furious voice, the woman smiled. “Goodbye, Guan Jing.”

With that, she hung up and switched off her phone. Then, while pulling her luggage along, she walked past the boarding gate without any hesitation.

Goodbye, Guan Jing. Goodbye, everyone and everything.

Like you said, Guan Jing, it’s time to end things. It’s time for me to live my own life.

That was why she was now letting go of everything—including Guan Jing.

Guan Jing immediately called her back, only to hear the operator’s message. Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

Guan Jing ended the call. This woman actually turned off her phone?

I have to replace her!

“Take care of things here. I’ll be off.” Guan Jing immediately ran outside.

Shen Peichuan froze on the spot for two seconds. Well, sh*t. Now I have to do everything.

At the hospital.

Zong Jinghao returned to the ward and frowned as he saw a fresh bouquet on the table. “Where did this come from?”
