Stealing Your Heart Chapter 185

“Can I see mommy now?” When Lin Ruixi was picked up by Zong Jinghao and brought to the hotel, she asked that question because she thought that they had arrived at the destination and could meet Lin Xinyan right away.

Zong Jinghao was a little nervous, but soon recollected himself and said, “She’s playing hide-and-seek with us and wants us to find her. We haven’t found her yet for now.”

Lin Ruixi said with her pouting lips, “Alright.”

Baicheng wasn’t a large city. Even though it’s a county town, it looked more like a town that belonged to a prominent family, namely the Bai family.

Although the hotel wasn’t five-star, its environment, cleanliness and services were pretty good.

Shen Peichuan was carrying Lin Xichen who wasn’t awake yet, while a few people were carrying their luggage behind.

“This is already the best hotel in Baicheng. Would you be uncomfortable with it because it’s too small?”

When did Zong Jinghao ever stay in such a hotel before?

“Isn’t this a nice place?” Lin Ruixi blinked her eyes and asked as she didn’t understand why Mr. Shen said so.

Zong Jinghao took her firmly into his arms so that she couldn’t listen to their conversation. After Lin Ruixi opened her eyes widely to look at Zong Jinghao’s face, her eyes slowly squinted and seemed like a pair of crescent moon.

“Daddy, you’re so handsome.” She immediately buried her face into his chest after finishing speaking.

Zong Jinghao was inexplicably pleased by his daughter’s sweet compliment. He had never smiled ever since Lin Xinyan was missing, yet his lips quirked because of his daughter.

“Then, do you love daddy?”

The little girl answered without hesitation, “I do.”

Zong Jinghao kissed his daughter on her hair. Even though the fragrance of shampoo had worn off because she hadn’t taken a bath for two days, he still felt that his daughter smelled nice.

Once they reached their room, Shen Peichuan put Lin Xichen down on the bed and checked the surroundings. He had reserved all rooms on this floor as he knew that Zong Jinghao would need a serene environment.

Lin Ruixi was jumping up and down when she asked, “Daddy, are you going to help me take a bath?”

Zong Jinghao nodded and said, “Yes.”

She ran towards him to wrap his legs with her arms, looked up at him and said, “Daddy really is like mommy.”

Zong Jinghao held out his hand to lift her chin up and asked, “How is it that we are alike?”

“Because whatever I want, mommy will agree to it.” Once she finished speaking, the little girl let go of him and bounced up and down again.

On the other hand, Bai Yinning’s back was scalded and had several blisters. It wasn’t severe, and the doctor had come and provided some treatments for him.

Liu was standing beside the door like a child who was lowering her head because she knew she did something wrong. She seemed to have cried a lot as her eyes looked red.

Lin Xinyan sat on a chair next to the bed and said, “Thank you.”

If he didn’t ward her off in the nick of time, she would be the one lying on the bed instead.

“You really want to thank me?” Bai Yinning was lying on his side on the bed.

Since the doctor had applied some dressings on his back, he couldn’t sleep on his back, or else he might tear the wounds where the blisters had just been removed.

“Of course.” As Lin Xinyan was afraid that he would give some unreasonable requests, she immediately added, “It should be something that I’m able to do.”

Bai Yinnning smiled lightly and said, “No worries. I won’t ask you to marry me.”

Lin Xinyan’s lips quirked slightly.

He looked at her and said, “Can you get a glass of water for me?”

When Lin Xinyan was about to reach out her hands to take the jug on the desk, Liu who had been standing by the door rushed towards her and said, “I’ll do it.”

She wanted to make amends.

Bai Yinning looked at her calmly and said, “Liu, why do you still appear bumbling?”

When Liu wanted to explain for herself, he stopped her from speaking when he said, “Go to shut yourself away and ponder over your mistakes. Don’t appear in my house without my permission.”

“But…”

“But what?” His voice was slightly cold.

“Who’s going to take care of you?” Liu wished to stay and immediately said, “Young master, I’m so sorry and it’s all my fault. Please let me take care of you.”

“Liu, I’m injured now and can’t be angry. Do you really want to infuriate me?” He said with an even deeper voice.
