Stealing Your Heart Chapter 413

Lin Xinyan contemplated for a moment and added, “What if you have to choose between a girl or a guy?”

Zong Jinghao lifted his head to look at her. “If I have to choose, I’ll want a daughter.”

Zong Jinghao thought one son was more than enough in his family.

To be honest, he preferred to have a daughter. He always liked how Lin Ruixi clung to him.

In comparison to daughters, sons were usually less caring and affectionate towards their parents.

Lin Xinyan slumped down into a comfortable position in Zong Jinghao’s arms. “I would like to have a son. I hope this little fella inside of my tummy is a boy.”

In Lin Xinyan’s opinion, girls were more sensitive. They were more likely to overthink in everyday affairs. In most relationships, they were usually the ones who got their hearts broken.

Zong Jinghao knew what Lin Xinyan had on her mind. He also knew that it was because of her experiences that she harbored those thoughts. He planted a kiss on her forehead. “Our daughter won’t be hurt by anyone.”

Lin Xinyan only smiled faintly. She chose to believe her husband.

Out of the blue, Lin Xinyan shot Zong Jinghao a question that was completely unrelated to the conversation they were having. “Why did you tell Li Zhan about this?”

“Huh?” Zong Jinghao furrowed his brows a little. What are you talking about?

What did I tell Li Zhan?

“About what Wen Qing has done.” Lin Xinyan replied matter-of-factly.

“Oh, he knows about it?”

“Wait, so you’re not the one who spilled it to him?” Lin Xinyan suddenly had a feeling that something was off. If Zong Jinghao was indeed the person who revealed what Wen Qing had done to Li Zhan, he would definitely own up.

Shen Peichuan, Su Zhan, and Bai Yinning were some of the very few people who knew about it. Any one of them could have leaked the secret.

“Don’t think too much about it.” Zong Jinghao patted Lin Xinyan’s back. “Just sleep.”

Zong Jinghao didn’t want the fact that Li Zhan had knowledge of the incident to bug himself too. As much as he didn’t want Li Zhan to know about the truth, Li Zhan would still find out about it someday as the incident was nothing trivial.

Of course, he did not want Lin Xinyan to worry about it.

“You just take good care of yourself and give birth to my precious daughter. Don’t worry about anything else. I’ll settle everything.”

Lin Xinyan lowered her gaze to the bed. Tsk, who said it’s going to be a daughter?

Lin Xinyan chuckled gingerly. “What if it’s a son?”

“It won’t be a son.” Zong Jinghao exuded confidence as he spoke. He continued, “If it’s a son, let’s have another baby.”

She’ll definitely still be strong enough to conceive another child after this baby is due.

Lin Xinyan went silent.

“Okay. Just listen to me and get some sleep, alright?” Zong Jinghao slid her head onto his chest and wrapped his arms around her torso.

Lin Xinyan raised her chin. A strong jawline came into her sight. The fair skin was marred by an uneven stubble. Lin Xinyan figured that Zong Jinghao had not been sleeping well lately.

Li Xinyan lay quietly in Zong Jinghao’s embrace.

Not before long, she could hear Zong Jinghao’s breath settle into a steady rhythm. Lin Xinyan knew he must be very tired. She leaned in to give him a kiss and wiggled around to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Lin Xinyan fell asleep soon enough.

The silent night was bizarrely calm. The day did not leave any of its hubbubs behind.

Approximately around 5 a.m., Zong Jinghao woke up at the ringtone of his phone. Worried about waking Lin Xinyan up, he got off the bed gently and went to the balcony to pick up the call.

“What’s the matter?”

Guan Jing’s voice rang on the other end of the call. “Zhuang Zijin’s test results just came out.”

What? The results are already out?

Zong Jinghao suddenly recalled what Guan Jing said to him, and the tendons around his jowl subconsciously tensed up. “Say it.”

Guan Jing paused to glance at the test results in his hand and then the doctor next to him. He asked the doctor again, “Are you sure of the results?”
