Stealing Your Heart Chapter 112
Lin Ruixi grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
“Sure.”
He Ruize glanced at Lin Xichen, who had been quiet, and asked, “Xichen, why don’t you talk?”
Lin Xichen looked distressed. “I feel blue.”
“You are a kid. Why do you feel blue?” Zhuang Zijin said. She added, “Didn’t your mom give you your smartwatch and tablet? What else makes you unhappy? Why are you tugging at my shirt?”
Lin Xichen wanted to stop Zhuang Zijin from talking, but he failed.
“S-Stop, you’re embarrassing me in front of uncle.” Lin Xichen quickly came up with his explanation, but when he said the word uncle, he felt extremely disgusted.
Such a hypocrite was not worthy of being called uncle by him.
“Xichen, show me your watch. I have forgotten how your smartwatch is like.”
Zhuang Zijin didn’t bring her phone as it was turned off after He Ruize deliberately knocked over his teacup wetting it.
He specifically glanced at Lin Xichen’s wrist and found that it was empty.
He did not allow Lin Xichen to be able to contact Lin Xinyan.
Lin Xichen’s eyes were shifty. “Umm, I forgot to bring it.”
He Ruize knew that this kid was smart, and his behavior earlier was a sign of guilt.
What is he guilty of?
He Ruize narrowed his eyes. Zhuang Zijin’s reaction was normal, and wasn’t wary of him, which meant Lin Xinyan didn’t tell her about it.
Lin Xinyan didn’t tell Zhuang Zijin, let alone telling the two five-year-old children about such a thing.
He took out the phone in his pocket and dialed Lin Xichen’s number.
Soon a ringtone was heard ringing inside the car.
He Ruize recognized this ringtone clearly.
It was from Lin Xichen’s smartwatch.
Panicked, Lin Xichen pocketed his smartwatch, but it was already too late.
“Xichen, why did you lie to me? You forgot that I bought this smartwatch for you. I have set my number, and your mom’s number as special care, so even if you turn off the smartwatch, it will still remind you when we call.”
Lin Xichen only remembered this after the smartwatch rang.
How could I forget such an important thing?
Lin Xichen hung his head, feeling upset. “I—I just don’t want to show it to you.”
He kept his head down, so He Ruize couldn’t see his expression.
“I remember that this smartwatch also has GPS. At that time, I was afraid that you would go missing.”
“It does have GPS.” Lin Xichen felt wrong, so he tried to call Zong Jinghao.
Suddenly, He Ruize parked the car on the side of the road and turned to look at Lin Xichen. “Who are you calling?”
“I’m not.” He panicked, and the smartwatch fell off, showing the words Heartless Man on it.
This was a name Lin Xichen gave to Zong Jinghao.
In his opinion, Zong Jinghao abandoned Mommy and them, so he was a heartless man.
Even if they were now working together, it did not mean that he forgave him.
He Ruize bent over and picked it up. Staring at the name on it, he asked, “Who is this?”
Lin Xichen was so nervous that a layer of sweat formed on his forehead. “My teacher, who likes to control me, so I gave him a nickname.”
Lin Xichen was studying in AC before, and knew that he had a teacher, so he didn’t doubt him.
“This smartwatch has been used for too long. It’s time to change.” Then, he removed the square electric plate inside.
The screen of the smartwatch went black.
“No, I don’t want to change it.” Lin Xichen reached out to grab it, but He Ruize easily dodged him.
Zhuang Zijin noticed that He Ruize’s behavior was very strange. “The smartwatch can still be used.”
He Ruize threw the watch into a small river not far away. He had already driven out of the city, and they were now on the way to the outskirts.
Zhuang Zijin asked him, “Why is it so remote?”
He Ruize said that the place he booked was a farm family resort, which was located in a remote area, hence alleviating Zhuang Zijin’s doubts.
“When we return to the city after the meal, I will buy you a new one. Many functions will not work after this has been used for a long time.”
“I think it’s still good, and it rang when you called just now, so it can still be used.” Zhuang Zijin vaguely felt that something was odd about He Ruize.
“I’ll get him a new one.” He Ruize started the car and drove back onto the highway.
Suddenly Lin Xichen tugged at He Ruize’s shirt hem. “I want to go home.”
