Stealing Your Heart Chapter 329
Lin Xinyan lowered her head and saw the diamond ring in her daughter’s hand.
She was in a hurry earlier, so her things were left on the bed. Lin Ruixi went up to find her, but she saw something gleaming on the bed instead.
She liked this shiny diamond very much, but she didn’t know its value, as she simply thought it was something fun to play with.
At that moment, Lin Xinyan didn’t know what to do, so she glanced back at Zong Jinghao for his opinion. This was not a normal toy, and she could not make the call.
Besides, how can this be a toy?
However, Zong Jinghao didn’t think it was a big deal. Lin Xinyan didn’t like it anyway, so he was happy that his daughter liked it.
He stroked his daughter’s hair affectionately. “You like it?”
The little girl nodded her head earnestly. “Yes, I like it. It’s so shiny. I have never seen such a shiny stone. Daddy, Mommy, where did you find it?”
She wanted to go and find one too herself.
It was so pretty.
After all, girls liked all things pink and shiny.
Lin Xinyan was speechless.
Stone?
She squatted down to be at eye-level with her daughter and patiently taught her, “Ruixi, this is not an ordinary stone that you can find anywhere. It’s very rare, and you can’t just bring it outside. I’ll help you keep it. When you grow up, I will give it to you, okay?”
If this thing were brought outside and was spotted by some greedy people, she might be at risk, and it would not be worth it.
The little girl didn’t quite understand, but she realized that this stone seemed to be quite valuable.
She looked down at the diamond ring, which was really shiny.
She liked it very much.
Seeing that her daughter was reluctant to let her keep it, Lin Xinyan sighed softly and said, “It’s not that I won’t give it to you, but this thing is very valuable. If a bad guy sees it when you bring it outside, he will snatch it away from you, won’t he?”
The little girl seemed to be able to imagine that someone was going to snatch it away from her as she held the ring tightly in her arms.
Her exaggerated reaction amused Lin Xinyan.
Why didn’t I notice that she likes shiny things so much?
“Can you not take it outside, then?” Lin Xinyan knew she could not talk her daughter into giving it to her anymore. Therefore, she was planning to help her keep it when she started to lose interest.
The little girl hesitated, as the possibility that it would be snatched away scared her. If it were snatched away, she would no longer have it.
Still feeling very reluctant, she handed it to Lin Xinyan. “Mommy, you should keep it and give it back to me when I grow up.”
Lin Xinyan pinched her cheek. “What a good girl.”
The little girl grinned, revealing a set of dazzling white teeth.
“Young Master, Young Mistress.” Aunt Yu walked over. “Master wants you to see him at the study.”
When Lin Xinyan heard that, she then asked her daughter to play on her own and turned to look at Zong Jinghao.
As their eyes met, Zong Jinghao replied calmly, “Alright.”
Lin Xinyan was a little nervous. Zong Qifeng must have wanted to meet them because something was going on, but she didn’t know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Zong Jinghao patted her on the shoulders and said, “I’m with you.”
Only then did she feel more at ease.
When they walked to the door of the study, Zong Jinghao looked up and knocked on the door. After the man inside gave them permission to go in, he opened the door and walked in with Lin Xinyan.
Only Zong Qifeng was in the study, and he was practicing calligraphy. When he saw them coming in, he put down the brush and asked them to sit down.
“The two kids are almost old enough to go to school. What’s your plan?” In fact, Zong Qifeng had been wanting to ask why they were not sent to a kindergarten to familiarize themselves with the learning environment. But when he thought that there must be a lot of inconveniences in taking care of two children by herself all these years, he did not raise the question.
They were already six years old now and could go to elementary school in the second half of this year. So he thought that they could go to kindergarten to familiarize themselves with the environment.
“I’ve made the arrangements.” Zong Jinghao had thought of it a long time ago and had made the arrangement before the New Year.
Lin Xinyan looked at him. Why have I never heard about it?
