Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 376

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 376

Lin Xinyan stroked her own forehead. She couldn’t help feeling as if she were always forgetting things. Lucky for her, there was a towel in the bathroom, and she thought of getting her son to grab her clothes from upstairs once she finished showering.

Finally, she soaked herself peacefully in the bathtub.

After a while, she got up and rinsed herself under the rain shower before she wrapped herself in a towel. Without opening the door, she called out to her son, “Xichen, can you grab my pajamas from upstairs?”

Lin Xichen looked at the bathroom’s frosted glass door and couldn’t see his mother’s silhouette at all. “Where are your pajamas?” he asked.

“It’s in the drawer under the bathroom mirror,” she answered. She deliberately kept her pajamas in that drawer so she could get dressed as soon as she stepped out of the shower. That way, she wouldn’t have to wrap herself in a towel before changing.

“Hold on, I’ll get it for you now,” said Lin Xichen. He put down his tablet, then got off the bed and rushed upstairs in his bedroom slippers. He moved so swiftly that he didn’t realize someone was standing behind the door when he opened the door. Upon colliding head to head, he rubbed his forehead and looked up. It was Zong Jinghao, and they were both wearing the same gray silk pajamas.

Fluttering his eyelids, Lin Xichen looked at himself, then raised his head to look at him.

Zong Jinghao bent down and uncovered Li Xichen’s hand from his forehead, then asked, “Does it hurt?”

Li Xichen’s forehead was neither red nor swollen, so he shook his head and replied, “No, it doesn’t.”

After a short pause, he asked, “Was your pajamas sewn by my mommy too?”

I thought Mommy only made pajamas for Ruixi and I.

Zong Jinghao didn’t know whether his pajamas were hand-sewn by Lin Xinyan. She passed the pajamas to him earlier, and all this time he had thought that she had bought them from a store.

Realizing that the material and style of his pajamas were the same as Lin Xichen’s, he asked, “Was yours sewn by your mommy?”

Lin Xichen nodded. “Most of the clothes my sister and I wear were made by my mommy.”

Lin Xinyan was a fashion designer, and she had a strong understanding of different types of fabrics. There were several sewing machines in her boutique, so it was easy for her to sew new pieces of clothing.

Lin Xichen glared at Zong Jinghao sternly and warned, “You make sure to treat my mommy well.”

Mommy has always treated him well.

He is physically small in size, but he can be rather imposing.

Zong Jinghao then stood up and looked at him from above, saying, “What are you doing up here?”

Treat Lin Xinyan well? Of course, I owe that to my girl. In fact, it’s my duty to look after her. If I don’t pamper her, who will?

This kid doesn’t need to remind nor warn me.

Lin Xichen looked up and said, “I’m here to get my mommy’s pajamas. She wants to sleep with me tonight.”

Zong Jinghao wasn’t surprised to hear this, but he felt that Lin Xichen’s reply had a high and mighty undertone.

It seems like he’s implying that I have dominated his mother for a long time, and now she finally wants to spend time with him away from me.

Zong Jinghao patted Lin Xichen on the shoulder and smiled without saying a word. He then went into the room and grabbed the boy’s pajamas, but Lin Xichen reached out and said, “Give it to me.”

Once Zong Jinghao handed the pajamas to him, Lin Xichen held them close to his chest and headed downstairs.

Zong Jinghao followed him from behind with slow and steady steps.

When Lin Xichen reached the bathroom, he knocked on the door and said, “Mommy, here are your pajamas.”

Inside the bathroom, Lin Xinyan was busy cleaning up, and she had just put her dirty clothes in the laundry basket.

When she heard her son calling, she told him to hang her pajamas on the door handle outside so she could get them.

Lin Xichen agreed obediently and hung her pajamas on the door handle. Then, he climbed back into bed and continued doing math questions on his tablet.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruixi was rolling around on the bed with her new soft toy.

After Lin Xinyan drained the water in the bathtub and finished cleaning up, she walked towards the door to grab her pajamas from the door handle. Just as she opened the door slightly to reach for her pajamas, she suddenly felt someone grabbing her wrist. In shock, she wanted to call out to the person, but when she saw his silhouette through the gap, she noticed a familiar, well-chiseled face.
