Stealing Your Heart Chapter 354

The driver proceeded to change directions.

As Lin Xinyan sat quietly in the car, she contemplated Qin Ya’s situation. If she sent Qin Ya away, Su Zhan would definitely look for her.

So, she decided to stand firmly on Qin Ya’s side. She wouldn’t betray her friend no matter what Su Zhan was going to say.

After what just happened, Lin Xinyan saw matters of the heart from a more mature perspective. She knew that both of them needed time to cool down and reevaluate their relationship.

Once she made up her mind, her desire to send Qin Ya away was further reinforced.

At that moment, the driver arrived at Ro’s Dessert Shop.

She paid the taxi fee and got off.

Behind the windows, Lin Xinyan saw that Cheng Yuxiu had brought both children – they were sitting by the window eating cake. She pushed open the glass door and entered the shop.

“Mommy,” Lin Xichen greeted when he saw her coming in.

Cheng Yuxiu turned and smiled when she saw Lin Xinyan. “The butter cake here is delicious; let me order one for you.”

Lin Xinyan sat down and thanked her for the offer.

Cheng Yuxiu smiled. “No thanks needed. You’re just making me feel like a stranger.”

Lin Xinyan smiled as she scooped a piece of butter cake to try. There was a thick milky fragrance that wasn’t overpowering or too sweet. The balance between its milkiness and buttery fragrance made it delicious.

This place was famous for its desserts. Behind the shop, there was also a playground which made it especially suitable for kids.

After finishing their dessert, Lin Ruixi tugged at Lin Xichen. “Xichen, come play with me.”

Lin Xichen sighed, acting as if he had no choice in the matter. All he could do was agree. “Fine.”

Cheng Yuxiu instructed the driver, “Watch them for me.”

The driver nodded and led the kids to the playground.

From the window, it was easy to see them.

Lin Xinyan took a sip of juice and asked, “So what is it you want to talk about?”

“It’s nothing. Must I have a reason to ask you out?” Given that it was the weekend and she had the chance to take the kids out, she decided to invite Lin Xinyan to come along as they had not talked in a while.

Lin Xinyan replied with a smile, “No, you don’t have to.”

Usually, Cheng Yuxiu would only look for her if she needed something, and that was why she asked.

From the window, Cheng Yuxiu couldn’t help but break into a smile as she watched the children play happily. “I never dreamed of a day where I’m able to stay with Jinghao and interact with his children. Although I am also a mother, my rights as one were taken away. Therefore, I am really grateful to you.”

Cheng Yuxiu held onto Lin Xinyan’s hands. “Thank you for letting Jinghao and I live together with the two children.”

“It’s what you deserve,” Lin Xinyan replied in a melancholic tone. “You have missed out on so much. Whatever you have now is just a form of compensation. Is all this enough to make up for what you have lost?”

Cheng Yuxiu shook her head. “I’m very satisfied with what I have now.”

She was now very happy with her life as she felt a sense of familial belonging. In fact, she often had the illusion that Zong Jinghao had let go of the past and was living with her in peace.

“Bai Yinning got in some trouble recently,” Cheng Yuxiu suddenly said as she turned to look at Lin Xinyan. “Did you tell Jinghao he was responsible for Wen Qing’s car accident?”

Lin Xinyan nodded. “I didn’t hide it from him.”

He is just too sharp.

Lin Xinyan knew that once Zong Jinghao found out that Bai Yinning had harmed Wen Qing, he would definitely not let it slide.
