Stealing Your Heart Chapter 141
When they arrived at the villa, Lin Xinyan passed his car key to him and said, “The car is still parked at the restaurant.”
“I’ll ask Guan Jing to drive it.”
Lin Ruixi who was sitting on the couch heard some noise and turned around. When she saw them coming in, she quickly got down from the couch and rushed towards them. However, she gave a hug to Zong Jinghao instead of Lin Xinyan, looked up at him and said, “Daddy, what took you so long? Have you had your lunch?”
She was staring him in the eye with her big round eyes on her gorgeous face.
She looked just like an angel.
Zong Jinghao picked her up and said to her patiently, “Mommy and I have had our lunch outside.”
Wow! Lin Ruixi’s eyes were sparkling. Did Mommy and daddy get along well?
Did they have a date outside?
She was joyous.
“Mommy, is what daddy said true?”
Lin Xinyan held her emotions back and said smilingly, “Yes.”
“Can daddy and mommy bring brother and I to eat out next time?” Lin Ruixi grabbed Zong Jinghao by his collars tightly and looked at him expectantly.
Zong Jinghao lowered his eyes to glance at her. She wrinkled his neat collars when she was grabbing them with her little hands.
However, he wasn’t annoyed at all but said to her smilingly, “That depends on how your mommy performs.”
…? What does that mean?
Lin Ruixi didn’t know what he meant. She blinked her big round eyes that looked like grapes and asked innocently, “What does mommy have to do with that?”
Lin Xinyan looked slightly uneasy and tense. She reached out to hold her daughter up and said, “Mommy’s gonna put you to bed.”
Lin Ruixi wrapped her arms around Zong Jinghao’s neck tightly, apparently didn’t want to go with Lin Xinyan.
Standing by the door, Aunt Yu said, “This kid was nagging all the time and asking repeatedly when will daddy come home. She didn’t even go to bed and just waited on the couch in the living room.”
Zong Jinghao said the two kids are not his own children, yet why would they be so close to him?
She believes that blood is thicker than water.
If they are not his children, why would they be so close to him?
“Really?” Zong Jinghao pinched her face that was as soft as silk.
The little one was shy and buried her head into his chests.
Aunt Yu laughed and thought to herself that they looked exactly like a pair of father and daughter.
“It’s getting late. You guys should go to bed. Xi had fallen asleep in your mommy’s room.” Aunt Yu said to Lin Xinyan.
Lin Xinyan nodded and replied, “I’ll check up on him.”
“Okay.” Aunt Yu entered the house once she finished speaking,
When Lin Xinyan was about to open the door of Zhuang Zijin’s room, Lin Ruixi said, “I want to sleep with daddy tonight.”
Lin Xinyan frowned.
Before she could reply, Zong Jinghao picked the little one up in his arms to go upstairs. He said to Lin Xinyan before they left, “Come upstairs later.”
Lin Xinyan wanted to refuse, yet didn’t say it when she saw Lin Ruixi in his arms.
She gently pushed the door open. The bedside lamp was still on, and Zhuang Zijin hadn’t fallen asleep. Lin Xichen was sleeping soundly in her arms.
Lin Xinyan walked over to check up on her son’s wound. His face didn’t look swollen anymore even though his wound hadn’t fully healed. She gently caressed his son’s head.
“He has gotten much better.” Zhuang Zijin said gently, “Don’t worry.”
She was worried about Lin Xinyan.
“You should plan for yourself. We can’t be staying here forever.”
“I know.” Lin Xinyan pondered over this before. This was surely not somewhere that she should live forever. But since He Ruilin’s hatred against her was so deeply entrenched, she’s worried about her next move and had no choice but to stay here at the moment for the sake of her children’s safety.
“Once everything’s settled, we will move back to our house, or look for another house.”
“It’s alright as long as you know what to do. I could see Ruixi is very close to him, and so I’m afraid that in the long run…”
Lin Xinyan was worried about it too. She held Zhuang Zijin’s hands and said, “Mom, I’m worried too. But to separate Ruixi from him now is definitely impossible.”
Since Lin Ruixi was fond of him now, it was impossible to stop her from getting along with Zong Jinghao.
“I know.” Zhuang Zijin knew it even better than Lin Xinyan. Lin Ruixi seemed bewitched today as she was always asking where her daddy was.
She heaved a long sigh.
“It’s getting late. Sleep tight.”
“Hmm.” Lin Xinyan glanced at her son again.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be here.”
Lin Xinyan caressed her son’s hair again before she left the room. The spacious living room was extremely quiet now and the clock on the wall indicated 12 o’clock. After taking a shower in the bathroom, she put on her pajamas that weren’t revealing and went upstairs.
Zong Jinghao took a shower too and was lying on the bed in his casual wear. Lin Ruixi curled up in his arms, with her little soft hands touching his chest.
