Stealing Your Heart Chapter 252
Since they were going out to play, Lin Xinyan called out for her son to join them as well, as she was afraid that the boy would be too absorbed in his games and hurt his eyes.
Just when they reached the lobby, the family ran into Bai Yinning.
The man smiled at them and asked, “Going out?”
Zong Jinghao snorted. “Mr. Bai, you’re one persistent man.”
Instead of getting mad, Bai Yinning replied to the insult, “Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Zong.”
Then he turned to Lin Xinyan. “I know a place that’s suitable for kids to play. Let me lead the way.”
Bai Yinning was not asking for their permission as he suggested like he had already planned the day for them, “Since this is my place, it would be my pleasure to entertain your family. Please forgive me if there’s anything you’re not happy with.”
Since he had said so, Lin Xinyan couldn’t find a reason to reject his offer anymore. Glancing at her husband, the woman smiled in reply, “We’ll have to trouble you then, Mr. Bai.”
“No problem.” Bai Yinning smiled back. “I’m here to ask whether you want to go out anyway, since the kids will be bored if they stay in the hotel for the whole day.”
Lin Xinyan forced out a stiff smile and explained, “Oh yes, I planned to bring them out, that’s why I have no time to…”
Even if she didn’t explain, Bai Yinning also knew deep down that it was Zong Jinghao who didn’t want her to see him.
To annoy the jealous man more, Bai Yinning added with a smile, “Oh, by the way, we’re going to meet each other often from now on. I have moved to stay in the hotel from today onwards.”
“Uncle Bai, why do you need to stay in the hotel? You don’t have a place to stay?” Lin Xichen asked with his hand being held by his mother.
“Hmm…” Bai Yinning lowered his head in thought. “So that it’s easy for me to take care of you. I’m a local here and this hotel belongs to me. Everything will be much more convenient with me around.”
Lin Xichen blinked his eyes in doubt. Well, they were equally good without him. As long as they have the cash, everything would be convenient for them wherever they went.
Obviously, Bai Yinning came for his mother.
The little boy once thought of letting this man fight for his mother with their father, but now he didn’t want that to happen anymore.
If his parents really separated, then he would lose a father forever.
Plus, Zong Jinghao was much more handsome and richer than Bai Yinning. Adding to the fact that Bai Yinning was crippled.
Lin Xichen tightened his grip on Lin Xinyan’s hands, afraid that Bai Yinning would actually snatch his mother from him.
“Let’s go! It’s getting late now. We can tour around the place and check out the musical fountain at night.” The man rolled himself to the front and led the way, totally not taking himself as an outsider who had randomly joined in the family outing.
When getting in the car, Bai Yinning added, “My car is at the front, so just follow behind me later.”
Zong Jinghao side-eyed him coldly. “You’re really not taking yourself as an outsider.”
Bai Yinning smiled in response. “Oh, I’ve known Ms. Lin for some time and I am your business partner. Of course I’m no outsider.”
Zong Jinghao did not reply to him and got in his own car.
The bodyguards closed the door for him, blocking Bai Yinning from his sight.
Under Gao Yuan’s help, Bai Yinning got into his own car.
The place Bai Yinning brought them to was close to the hotel- only a ten-minute journey. It was a new building built to mimic ancient Chinese buildings.
A long corridor stretched along the bank of an artificial lake. It was built with intricate designs of architecture, be it the tiles or wooden carvings, which showcased the impressive skills and detailed attention given to the decorations.
At the end of the corridor was an old mansion. The main door was majestic, similar to the royal mansions of ancient times. It gave off an impression of walking right into the ancient times.
In the clear waters of the lake, there were several red Japanese koi fish. The wooden boats floating on the water were all decorated with silk and red lanterns.
“You can feed the fishes from the boat,” Bai Yinning suggested when he noticed Lin Ruixi’s excitement.
“I want to feed the fishes from the boat!” Lin Ruixi yelled enthusiastically. Like most children, she was easily interested and satisfied with new things.
Even if it was not something spectacular, she would still want to try it once her interest was piqued.
The weather was good anyway, and boat rowing while koi feeding on such a day was an enjoyable activity to relax the mind.
