Stealing Your Heart Chapter 143
Bang, bang…
Zong Qifeng didn’t even look up when someone knocked on the door. He just calmly gave his permission to come in while focusing entirely on his brush writing.
Mr. Feng pushed the door and said, “Aunt Yu is here.”
Aunt Yu? Zong Qifeng forgot about this person.
Mr. Feng reminded him and said, “The maid brought along by the late Madam when she’s married into the family.”
Zong Qifeng suddenly recalled about her and asked calmly, “Why is she here?”
“I’m not sure, but I saw a little boy with her.” Mr. Feng recalled the little boy’s face and said rather solemnly, “That boy might be young master’s child.”
Since he had served the Zong family for many years and saw Zong Jinghao when he was still young, he thought that the boy looked exactly the same as Zong Jinghao when he was a boy.
“What?” Zong Qifeng looked confusedly at Mr. Feng and asked, “He has children now?”
Why doesn’t he know?
He put down his writing brush, walked out of the study and said, “Let’s go and take a look.”
As if a thought flashed through his mind, he said, “Go upstairs to ask her to come along.”
Yuxiu was taking a rest upstairs as she wasn’t feeling well these two days.
“Alright.” Mr. Feng turned around and went upstairs.
Zong Qifeng went to the living room first and saw Aunt Yu and Lin Xichen sitting on the couch. After noticing a little head from the back of the couch, he hesitated for a while and quickly came up to them.
He wanted to see Lin Xichen’ face as soon as he could.
When Zong Qifeng was coming up to them, Aunt Yu stood up.
“You’re here.” Zong Qifeng looked calm.
Aunt Yu nodded and said, “It’s been a long time.”
Although their villas were not far from each other’s, they rarely had the chance to meet. The last time they met was when Zong Jinghao got married, Zong Qifeng asked her to come here and questioned her.
Zong Qifeng sighed deeply. Indeed, time flies and they are all old now.
“This kid?” He looked at Lin Xichen who had fair skin and a pair of sparkling eyes that looked as clear as a fresh spring. This little face, these eyes…
Lin Xichen was staring at him too. He had a face with clear-cut features as well as a pair of eyes with wrinkles on their sides and was standing straight in his Chinese tunic suit.
Lin Xichen blinked his eyes while nervously trying to grab his own sleeves with his little hands. Is this his grandfather?
Is he dreaming? It felt like a fantasy to him.
Aunt Yu hesitated for quite some time as she didn’t know what to say to them. Finally, she said, “Young master was married once…”
It’s rather abrupt to mention about his marriage as it was short-lived and happened long ago.
“Um.” Zong Qifeng understood it.
But what he was puzzled about was that, if this kid was really Zong Jinghao’s child, why was she bringing him here now only after he’s grown up?
“Young master divorced Ms. Lin in the past, am I correct? They were born only after they were divorced.” Aunt Yu looked down at Lin Xichen’s head, caressed him gently and said, “Ms. Lin might have felt disgruntled after they were divorced, and so she didn’t tell young master that the children were his. Therefore, I’m here to…”
Since Lin Xichen was here, she couldn’t say explicitly that she hoped the children could do paternity testing with Zong Jinghao.
That would hurt their feelings a lot.
“Two?” Zong Qifeng didn’t really get it.
Would it be that he has another child?
Aunt Yu explained smilingly, “Xichen had another sister, and they are twins.”
“What twins?” Yuxiu was coming downstairs. She put on extra clothes and looked pale, as if she was seriously ill.
“We will talk in the study.” Noticing that Aunt Yu was having some reservations, Zong Qifeng ordered his maid to take care of Lin Xichen in the living room and said, “Make some food for him.”
“I’m not hungry.” Lin Xichen said.
Zong Qifeng replied, “Fine. Let the maid bring you to walk around.”
“Sure. Thank you.” Lin Xichen really wanted to take a look at this place. Is this where his father used to live when he was young?
He followed the maid expectantly.
Yuxiu who looked pale came downstairs and asked, “What are you discussing?”
Zong Qifeng held Yuxiu’s arm and asked caringly, “Do you feel better?”
Yuxiu smiled gently and said, “I feel a lot better now. Since it’s not some serious illness, don’t worry about me.”
“Do you think you are still young?” Zong Qifeng glanced at her and said, “We’re all old.”
