Stealing Your Heart Chapter 238

Lin Xichen quickened his steps intentionally so that Lin Xinyan would be able to match Zong Jinghao’s pace. “Ruixi, let me hold your hand, alright?” Lin Xichen suggested while reaching out to the little girl’s hand.

Shaking her head, Lin Ruixi protested, “I want daddy to hold my hand!”

Lin Xichen went speechless.

Why did she not get my hint at all?

Letting out a sigh, Lin Xichen did not continue to insist. He decided to wait for a better time to matchmake them.

The masterplan was that Lin Xichen could hold Lin Ruixi’s hand and Zong Jinghao then could hold Lin Xinyan’s! What a pity that Lin Ruixi did not cooperate.

Lin Xichen’s plan failed.

A number of cars were at the entrance of the village. As the road was bumpy, it was not convenient for Bai Yinning to walk out of the village since he was wheelchair-bound. Hence, Bai Yinning left earlier than everyone else.

“It’s been a while since I last met you, Ms. Lin,” Bai Yinning smiled as he peered at the woman who approached.

Lin Xinyan greeted, “Thank you so much for your referral previously, Mr. Bai.”

Lin Xinyan did not continue the conversation. The way Bai Yinning spoke made it seem that they were close but they were never so close to begin with.

Bai Yinning could tell that Lin Xinyan was distancing herself. In response, he let out a laughter. Turning towards Zong Jinghao, whose face darkened by the second, Bai Yinning did not hold in his chuckles.

“You used to call me Yinning, and now you address me as Mr. Bai. Is it because of him?” Bai Yinning asked while pointing to Zong Jinghao.

If Bai Yinning wanted to take advantage of Zong Jinghao in the business world, it would be close to impossible. However, Bai Yinning could create some trouble for him through Lin Xinyan.

Almost instantly, Lin Xinyan knew Bai Yinning’s intentions.

Although things were awkward between them, it was obvious that Lin Xinyan knew who to side. If she responded to Bai Yinning’s request and addressed him by his name, it would definitely make Zong Jinghao feel upset. She did not want him to feel that way.

“I will definitely answer to your requests since you saved me before. I won’t forget that I still owe you a favor. However, Mr. Bai, I am now married. I don’t want to create any misunderstandings. I hope that you can understand and please don’t make things difficult for me.” Lin Xinyan replied.

Upon hearing her words, Zong Jinghao’s face brightened almost immediately while Bai Yinning went speechless.

Bai Yinning wanted to make things hard for Zong Jinghao but now it seemed that he had shot himself in the foot.

Although Bai Yinning was unwilling to let Zong Jinghao off so easily, if Bai Yinning rejected Lin Xinyan’s suggestion, it would be clear that Bai Yinning was finding trouble for the both of them.

“Of course, Ms. Lin. I understand,” Bai Yinning reassured.

Lin Xinyan did not want to make things too awkward since Bai Yinning had saved her and even taken good care of her previously. “If I have the chance, let me treat you to a meal. Thank you so much for bringing me here…” Lin Xinyan offered.

“No problem, thank you in advance for the treat,” Bai Yinning beamed a little.

As Lin Xinyan finished her sentence, Zong Jinghao’s expression darkened instantaneously. This realization made Bai Yinning crack a grin. However, Lin Xinyan was not aware of Zong Jinghao’s displeasure.

Lin Xinyan was still dwelling on the incident. Many thoughts rushed through her mind.

Did I do anything wrong? Why can’t he just tell me about it? Why is he being so cold out of the blue? Maybe…he doesn’t like me anymore?

Forcing herself to stop overthinking, Lin Xinyan grabbed Lin Xichen’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”

Lin Xichen could feel the dejection in Lin Xinyan’s voice.

Obediently, Lin Xichen followed Lin Xinyan. However, he did not get into the vehicle but pointed to the caravan behind it and exclaimed, “Mommy, I want to sit in that car. It’s more comfortable and really spacious. Ruixi and I usually go with that car.”

“Yes! Mommy, do you want to sit with us? It’s been a while since you sat with us. I miss you so much,” Lin Ruixi ran towards Lin Xinyan and pouted.

Lin Xinyan could see the expectations in the little girl’s eyes.

In Lin Xichen’s mind, he gave his sister a thumbs up. For once, she was being useful.

Knowing how clingy Lin Ruixi was towards Zong Jinghao, Lin Xinyan knew that Zong Jinghao would follow them to that caravan. However, Lin Xinyan did not want to face him at the moment.

“It’s going to be really squeezy…” Lin Xinyan tried to reject.

“No mommy! It’s really big! There’s a bed, sofa and television. Mommy, you can even take a nap in there! It’s comfy there!” Lin Ruixi persuaded.
