Stealing Your Heart Chapter 291

He smiled with confidence. “I don’t lie.”

Lin Xinyan felt relieved. “It’s so good to have you around.”

Zong Jinghao kissed her long hair. “So, aren’t you going to be a bit nicer to me?”

Lin Xinyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I’ll tell you what, I am going to take a shower.”

She was quick to ready herself for the shower.

Zong Jinghao stood beside the bed and laughed rather helplessly. He feared that he would have to postpone his wedding night.

Lin Ruixi woke up, just as Lin Xinyan was taking a shower. Having skipped dinner, she must have been hungry by now.

Zong Jinghao carried her downstairs and called Aunt Yu for help.

“Hey, Ruixi is awake.” Aunt Yu approached them to find that the chubby little girl had just woken up.

“She is hungry.” Zong Jinghao explained calmly.

Aunt Yu asked, “Ruixi, what would you like to eat?”

The little girl just woke up and she was still in a daze. She had felt hungry. “Anything that tastes good will do.”

“How about I prepare broth wontons for you?”

“Mm.” Still in a daze, the little girl answered affirmatively.

Zong Jinghao carried her to the washroom. He had wanted to wash her face to wake her up.

The little girl refused to come up and she insisted on clinging unto her father. Zong Jinghao kissed her face affectionately. “How I’d wish that your mommy is sticky like you.”

“Mommy?” The little girl scrutinized the surroundings and asked, “Where is my mommy?”

“Mommy has gone for a bath.” Zong Jinghao washed her face carefully. “Let’s eat our broth wontons.”

Aunt Yu had prepared broth wontons and fried eggs. She had even cooked a big prawn with tomato sauce to whet Lin Ruixi’s appetite.

The little girl’s sense of smell was truly wonderful. As she reached the sitting room, she was thrilled by the pervasive, saliva-inducing smell. “Wow, I can smell it. So nice!”

Zong Jinghao was stunned beyond speech. What a sharp nose!

The little girl seemed to behave well that day. Aunt Yu put a napkin in front of her while she started feeding herself with a spoon.

Zong Jinghao helped to peel the big prawn for her.

“Daddy, I want you to bathe me and cuddle me until I sleep tonight,” exclaimed the little girl while she was chewing food.

“Sure!” Zong Jinghao knew that she had needed loving care after what had happened earlier in the day.

In fact, he would accede to any request from Lin Ruixi.

“Here you go.” Zong Jinghao fed the prawn into the already wide-opened mouth of Lin Ruixi.

On the other hand, in contrast to the emotional ups and downs in the villa, Su Zhan and Qin Ya experienced a quieter life. They were just a handful of occupants there. The old lady had liked Qin Ya. They got along well.

The only thing was that they had gotten married in a rush. There was no time to ready a properly decorated wedding room.

Su Zhan did not like the old lady for being garrulous.

“We’ve got to get someone to renovate the house. And to buy some furniture too.” The old lady put a bank card in Qin Ya’s hand. “Buy whatever you’d like with this.”

Qin Ya refused to take the bank card. She did not want to use the old lady’s money. She preferred to rely on what little money she had saved. “Thanks, but I can buy whatever I like with my own money.”

“You two got married in quite a rush. No decorated bridal room, no betrothal gift; not even a proper wedding reception. You may not want these, but we have to give you what you deserve.” The old lady explained her stance on the matter. “Anyway, the money in my bank account represents the money given to me by Su Zhan all these years. I don’t get to use much of it. I keep saving for an occasion like this.”

The old lady drew closer and whispered. “My saving is quite impressive, you know. If you don’t like staying with an old lady like me, go buy and move into a new house, where you two can stay together. I don’t mind, really.”

“I don’t plan to move out.” Qin Ya felt like crying, as she was touched by the thoughtfulness of the old lady.

“I think that we are one family. We should stay together,” urged Qin Ya with sincerity.

“My fear is that young people don’t like me being so garrulous.”

“We don’t mind that, really.” Qin Ya quickly assured her, “Whatever you say is meant for our own good.” She turned around to look at Su Zhan who just put away the luggage. “Don’t you agree with me?”

“I beg your pardon?” Su Zhan came over.

“From now on, grandma will be staying with us.”

“Oh, of course.” Su Zhan was glad that the old lady would no longer pester him to get married. Furthermore, with the presence of Qin Ya, he would cease to be the focus of her attention. That was why he was not repulsed by the idea of letting the old lady stay with them.

“I am tired of travelling in the car. I must now retire to bed. You two go to bed early. Tomorrow we are going to the shopping mall.” The old lady did not want to interrupt too much of their time together.
