Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 2

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 2

“Yan Yan, getting married is a lifetime decision. I will not let you marry him.” Zhuang Zijin knew why Lin Xinyan wanted to do that.

Lin Xinyan put down the food on the cabinet beside the bed and said, “I’m not marrying an outsider anyway. Isn’t he your friend’s son?”

“She passed away many years ago. I don’t know her son at all. You should marry the man you really like, even if it means to break the promise. You should not use as marriage as your bargaining chip. I would rather stay here for the rest of my life.”

The one she likes?

Even if she meets one, she would not be worthy of that.

It wasn’t important to her who she would be marrying. What really mattered was taking back everything they took away from her mother.

Zhuang Zijin didn’t manage to convince Lin Xinyan to change her mind. They went back to the home country the very next day.

Lin Guoan didn’t let them in the family home of the Lins because he disliked them. Instead, he had them lived in a rent house. When the day came, Lin Xinyan would have to go to the Lins.

Lin Xinyan never wanted to go there because her mother would need to face the woman who destroyed her marriage. Therefore, they would rather stay here.

It was quiet.

Zhuang Zijin was still worried, and she said, “Yan Yan, the opportunity would not come to you if this is a good marriage arrangement. Not even if Madam Zong and I were close.

Lin Xinyan didn’t really want to talk about it so she tried to change the topic by saying, “Mom, just eat your food.”

Zhuang Zijin sighed; she knew that Lin Xinyan didn’t want to continue the topic. Lin Xinyan had suffered with her all these years and now she even had to sacrifice her marriage.

Although Lin Xinyan was holding the chopsticks, her appetite was spoiled due to morning sickness.

“Are you alright?” Zhuang Zijin was concerned about her.

Lin Xin Yan didn’t want to worry her so she lied saying that it was jetlag.

She put down the chopsticks and entered her room.

After closing the door, she leaned on it. Although she had never been pregnant before, she had seen the symptoms when Zhuang Zijin was pregnant. Her mother was sickened with the smell of food and lost all her appetite.

And now, she had the same symptom.

It had been over one month since that night; her period had been late by more than 10 days.

She didn’t want to think of the humiliation she endured that night. If it was not for her mother and her brother’s sake, she would not have sold herself.

She started trembling……

“You are six weeks pregnant.”

Even after leaving the hospital, those words from the doctor kept repeating in her mind.

That was the result from Lin Xinyan checkup at the hospital without Zhuang Zijin’s knowledge. She was worried and did not know whether she should keep the baby or have an abortion.

She could not help but caress her tummy. Although it was both an accident and a humiliation, she was somehow unwilling to have her baby removed.

It brought her both the joy and the excitement of being a first-time mother.

She sat quietly for a long, long while.

When she reached home, she hid the ultrasonography report before opening the door.

However, Lin Guoan was also there. Her expression turned grim immediately.

Why was he here?

From the look on Lin Guoan’s face, he was not in a good mood because he had been waiting for her for some time. He then said without emotion, “Change your clothes.”

Lin Xinyan asked “Why?”

“Since you are going to marry into the Zhong family, you and the Young Master Zhishen are going to meet. Are you going to meet him looking like this? Do you want to embarrass me again?”

What was the feeling that came with pain?

She thought she would be numb after selling herself and losing her brother.

Yet the heartless words from Lin Guoan still caused her pain.

He had never cared for her since he sent her and her mother to a poor western country.
