Stealing Your Heart Chapter 377

Lin Ruixi grinned widely, exposing a row of dazzling white teeth. It was as though she enjoyed having her saliva wiped away by Zong Jinghao.

When Lin Xinyan finally walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas, she saw Zong Jinghao occupying most of the bed. Meanwhile, Lin Xichen was cast aside in the corner of the bed like a pathetic little bug while he watched Zong Jinghao and Lin Ruixi behaving affectionately.

She walked over to hug her son, then she took his tablet and put it on the table. “It’s time to sleep,” she said.

Lin Xichen sighed lightly. I thought I could sleep with Mommy tonight. Who knew Ruixi and daddy would be here as well? How are we all going to fit on one bed?

Is it so hard for me to spend one night alone with Mommy?

“Ruixi and I will sleep in the middle,” Lin Xichen suggested.

He planned to let his sister sleep with him in the middle so Zong Jinghao and Lin Xinyan would be separated.

Lin Ruixi didn’t have the same intentions. She didn’t mind any kind of sleeping arrangements as long as her parents were sleeping on the same bed.

Zong Jinghao glanced at his son but did not reveal his thoughts. He then lay down on the bed with Lin Ruixi.

Since both the kids were sleeping in the middle, Zong Jinghao and Lin Xinyan were separated on opposite ends of the bed.

Whenever Ruixi can’t sleep, she would usually pat my chest. In the past, she had the habit of touching Xinyan when she slept. However, since she started spending time with her grandmother, she got rid of this habit.

She probably won’t hold either of us to sleep anymore, but she might still do it out of muscle memory.

When Lin Ruixi’s tender hands suddenly rubbed against Zong Jinghao’s body, he panicked and grabbed her hands. He then said gently, “It’s alright, I’m here.”

The little girl fluttered her eyes and said, “Your muscles are so hard, daddy.”

Mommy and grandmother’s muscles are always soft, but Daddy’s muscles are not soft at all.

Zong Jinghao was rendered speechless by his daughter’s remarks.

“Go to sleep. Don’t say such silly things,” Lin Xichen chided as he patted Lin Ruixi’s back.

“I was talking to Daddy, not you,” Lin Ruixi retorted.

“Alright, just be quiet and go to sleep,” Lin Xinyan instructed sternly.

The two kids obeyed their mother’s instructions and immediately kept quiet.

Nevertheless, it took them about half an hour before they finally fell asleep.

Lin Xinyan, on the other hand, stayed awake due to matters of the heart.

She didn’t know whether Zong Jinghao knew about Lin Xichen’s disappointment, and since he came back late, she hadn’t found the right time to tell him.

When she noticed her children fast asleep after a while, she called out softly, “Are you still awake?”

It so happened that Zong Jinghao wasn’t asleep yet, so he acknowledged her.

Pushing her blanket aside, she got off the bed and whispered, “I have something to tell you. Let’s talk outside.”

Zong Jinghao gently moved Lin Ruixi’s head from his arm to the pillow, then got off the bed and followed Lin Xinyan out.

In the living room, Lin Xinyan poured herself a glass of water and asked, “Do you want some water too?”

“No thanks,” Zong Jinghao replied while leaning against the couch in his pajamas. He then looked at her. “What is it you wanted to tell me?”

“I bumped into someone on the way back today,” Lin Xinyan began as she took a seat next to him.

Zong Jinghao narrowed his eyes as if he already knew who had come looking for her earlier today.

Noticing his expression, Lin Xinyan said, “You know who it was?”

Of course I know. It involves my son.
