Stealing Your Heart Chapter 153

At the villa.

Sigh.

There were sounds of sighing.

Yuxiu was whimpering and tried to cover her painful expression with her hand. Her weeping turned into sobbing. She closed her eyes tightly and bit onto her fist, trying to stop her crying.

Zong Qifeng was a man; he was focused and could hold back his upset. He helped Yuxiu up. “Let’s go. It’s not good for your health.”

She raised her head and tried to hold back her tears. “I want to stay here—”

Before she could finish her sentence, she realized her own impulsiveness. Zong Jinghao would never let her stay here.

Zong Qifeng knew what she was thinking. “We can come here often to visit the two children.

Yuxiu could not help but worry. “How could he be like that? How could he not know what he had done?”

Zong Jinghao’s reaction had shown them that he really had not known that the two children were his.

She had seen that Zong Jinghao was feeling worse than the rest of them just now.

“Tell me, how could I not worry?” Yuxiu sighed. “He’s a clear-minded person. How could he have made such a mistake?”

Zong Qifeng patted her shoulder. “I think he will clear his mind by himself. Listen to me, let’s go back first. If you want to see the two children tomorrow, we’ll come back here.”

Zong Qifeng continued to convince Yuxiu to go home together. “While Jinghao isn’t here, we can bring them to our house for a stayover. We should feel happy now that we have a pair of cute grandchildren. Why are you crying? It’s bad for your health.”

Yuxiu knew that he was happy too. She wiped her eyes and said, “I just feel sad for the two children. Lin Xinyan also had a difficult life as a single mother and raising two children…”

“It’ll be better from now on.” Zong Qifeng sighed. “You’re worrying too much. Listen to me, let’s go home first.”

Zong Qifeng supported her. Yuxiu knew that she would not be able to stay here overnight. Zong Qifeng was right. She could come or bring the children to her house while Zong Jinghao was not around.

Mr. Feng ran in front of them to open the door.

Aunt Yu sat on the couch and looked at Zhuang Zijin. “You should not have kept this secret. You should have been honest. No matter how unhappy you were about it, you should not have hidden this matter for the sake of the children.” Aunt Yu complained.

Zhuang Zijin lowered her eyes. If she had known about it, she would not have kept it a secret.

She wanted the children to have a father.

However, Lin Xinyan had told her that it was a local that night. It had been many years since the incident and no one mentioned it after that time. She had never thought that it would have been Zong Jinghao.

However, she never explained it to Aunt Yu. That was her daughter’s privacy.

It was not appropriate for her to tell her.

Let it stay as a misunderstanding.

Aunt Yu saw that Zhuang Zijin did not feel comfortable with the topic, and so she stopped.

On the outside, the wind was gentle and the moonlight was dim.

Lin Xichen quietly sat in the car and looked out the window. Once in a while, he pulled his sister’s shirt and comforted her, “We’ll see mommy soon.”

Zong Jinghao watched Lin Xichen’s actions through the rearview mirror. He swallowed and his throat felt tight.

No matter how smart the boy was, he was only five. He was sensible and he knew how to take care of his sister. He was so sensible that it made his heart break.

He still remembered that the boy had endangered himself to take revenge for Lin Xinyan. Until now, the wound on his head had not fully recovered.

This boy—

There were no words that he could find to describe the feeling he had right now.

He was mature and he was a stable man. Yet now, he could not compose himself.

Soon, the car reached LEO. The front door was shut and there were no lights on in the shop. Lin Xinyan was not in the store. He looked down at the time. It had been two hours since Lin Xinyan said that she was coming here. If she was not at the shop, where was she?

He took out his phone and dialed Lin Xinyan’s number. “I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please call again later.”

He frowned and recalled Lin Xinyan’s actions. She was acting differently than her usual self.

She had left the crowd to cry alone in a corner today.

What had happened?

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he got.

He looked for Guan Jing’s number but stopped, then changed to Shen Peichuan’s number. It seemed like his inability to contact Lin Xinyan and Shen Xiuqing’s sudden appearance was connected.

Shen Peichuan was investigating Shen Xiuqing’s case. It would be more convenient for him to investigate whether there was a connection between Shen Xiuqing’s appearance and him not being able to contact Lin Xinyan.

Soon, the call went through. “Where are you?”

Shen Peichuan was stunned for a second. He could hear Zong Jinghao’s anxiety through the call, and it was a surprise to him.

He felt unused to it.

He looked back at the medical examiner who was performing an autopsy, then told Zong Jinghao, “I’m at the morgue checking Shen Xiuqing’s cause of death.”

Zong Jinghao ended the call. He was about to leave before he remembered the children in the backseat.

He could not bring them to these dirty places.

“Where’s my mommy?” Lin Xichen blinked. The front door was closed and there were no signs of mommy.

Zong Jinghao did not know how to explain it to him. “Let me send you two home first, then I’ll look for your mommy, okay?”

Lin Xichen frowned, and it looked similar to the frown Zong Jinghao just had. He asked again, “Where’s my mommy?”

She was an adult; she would not have lost her way. Has she gotten into trouble?

When he thought about it, Lin Xichen held his breath. “Is my mommy missing? You can’t find her?”

This boy was too observant. He could not find anything from him.

Zong Jinghao looked at him with determined eyes. “I’ll find her.”

Lin Xichen clenched his small hands into fists as his eyes reddened. “Maybe you don’t love my mommy but please find her safe and sound, she’s the one who had given birth to us. I know you don’t want to acknowledge me and my sister, but your blood is flowing in us. Please take that into consideration and find her safely.”

Zong Jinghao looked away and his hand held onto his forehead. It covered his expression and his voice was rough as he said, “Why do you think that I don’t love your mommy and I don’t want to acknowledge you?”
