Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 1024

Did I say anything wrong?

Su Zhan looked dazed.

“Did I say anything wrong?” Su Zhan gazed innocently at Zong Jinghao.

Lin Xinyan also turned to look at her husband, as he had indeed cut Su Zhan off abruptly.

Zong Jinghao slanted his eyes at Su Zhan. “Do you have to know why? Has age made you oversensitive like a woman?”

Su Zhan was stumped by Zong Jinghao’s sudden onslaught.

Nothing I say now seems to be right!

Lin Xinyan was also at a loss for words.

Who says all women are sensitive?

So now I can’t ask you about anything without you calling me ‘sensitive’?

Once they got into the house, Lin Xinyan exploded, “Were your remarks just now directed at Su Zhan or me?”

It was Zong Jinghao’s turn to be speechless.

Tsk, why are you so sensitive?

“I know what you’re going to say next. You are going to say I’m being too sensitive, right?” Lin Xinyan spoke Zong Jinghao’s mind and chuckled lamely. “Alright, maybe I’m too sensitive. Let’s sleep earlier. You still have a flight to catch tomorrow morning.”

Lin Xinyan was reflecting on her recent behavior. As of late, she seemed to be quite edgy. Now that she thought of it, she couldn’t believe that she still suspected Zong Jinghao of hiding things from her after they had spent almost a lifetime together.

“When was the last time we spent time away from each other?” Lin Xinyan gently helped Zong Jinghao to unbutton his shirt. It had been a while since he last wore anything formal. After he stopped going to the office, Zong Jinghao stopped wearing suits until today, the day of Zhuang Jiawen’s marriage.

After Lin Xinyan was done with the last button, she said, “Go and have a shower.”

Zong Jinghao lowered his gaze to her. “Why are you suddenly so nice towards me?”

Lin Xinyan arched her brow. “Did I ever mistreat you before?”

“Okay.” Zong Jinghao took his wife’s hand in his. “Since you’ve already taken off my shirt, why don’t you help me scrub my back too?”

“We’re already so old. Why are you so cheeky?” She slapped Zong Jinghao’s hand away. “Go.”

Zong Jinghao only smiled blandly. He obediently went to the bathroom. Weirdly, after Su Zhan intercepted the two of them, all of Lin Xinyan’s suspicions towards him had vanished.

The next day, Zong Jinghao took the first flight in the morning.

Lin Xinyan extended her stay at Su Zhan’s house.

The lot of them at Su Zhan’s place didn’t wait for Zhuang Jiawen and Shen Xinyao to come back to have breakfast.

“Let’s eat first.” Qin Ya poured Lin Xinyan a glass of milk. “They should’ve already eaten at the hotel.”

Lin Xinyan took a sip of the milk. “Can you take a break from work and go out with me today?”

There were many in-house designers at the boutique. It didn’t make much difference if Qin Ya wasn’t there. Qin Ya sat down at the table and grabbed a piece of toast. She slathered some peanut butter over it. “What’s up?”

“I’m looking for a new home for the children. They can’t stay at the hotel forever. Also, they can’t stay here; it’s too crowded. It’s better if they can have their own place,” Lin Xinyan replied.

“Mmhmm, I agree with you. They are still a pair of young, newly-wed lovebirds. They won’t want anyone to interrupt them. Alright, let’s go out to look for a new house after breakfast.”

“You guys are going to have breakfast so early?” Zhuang Jiawen and Shen Xinyao walked into the dining room.

“So you guys didn’t plan to wait for us?” The couple walked to the table. Zhuang Jiawen pulled a chair for Shen Xinyao.

“Not that we don’t want to wait for you, it’s just that we thought you guys won’t be back that early. Speaking of it, why are you lovebirds here so early?” Qin Ya went to get cutleries for the two of them.

“We aren’t the kind of people who will laze in bed all day,” Zhuang Jiawen explained himself with a charming smile.

Before Qin Ya could reply, Su Zhan spoke, “But you guys literally just got married yesterday. We really thought you two will have better things to do.”

The couple could sense what was the older man trying to imply.

Shen Xinyao lowered her head bashfully, her face reddening.

Even though Zhuang Jiawen was junior to Su Zhan, the two were more like friends. Their conversations were usually lively and outspoken, occasionally filled with banters.
