Stealing Your Heart Chapter 429
Lin Xinyan swallowed hard as she tried to suppress her lustful thoughts. Her face flushed slightly as she fidgeted uneasily under his seductive fingers.
Zong Jinghao unbuttoned her collar and asked in a hoarse voice, “Will you change?”
Lin Xinyan turned around to look at him and stretched out her hands to caress his face before replying weakly, “I will become very ugly.”
Her face had turned ashen during the last few months when she was pregnant with Lin Ruixi and Lin Xichen.
“I won’t mind no matter how ugly you look.”
Zong Jinghao grabbed hold of her hands on his face and held them against the pillow before he planted his lips onto hers.
No! We can’t continue. Otherwise, both of us will feel even more terrible later!
She tried to stop him in a hoarse voice, “The doctor says that we aren’t allowed to…”
Not only was he undeterred by her words, but he continued to pull her in, claiming her lips again, hungry and intense, while murmuring, “You have no idea how much I want you.”
Her desire to have him was getting stronger by the minute. Finally, she turned her head away determinedly before she warned, “You stay away from me.”
We may end up committing a mistake if we carry on hugging and touching each other…
On the other hand, Zong Jinghao was trying his best to suppress his urge too. He pulled down her skirt and lay flat on the bed. A silence fell over them.
Time passed slowly.
Finally, Lin Xinyan spoke up after ten minutes.
“Have you ever blamed me for being too close to Cheng Yuxiu and caused so much trouble?” Although she had heard from Cheng Yuxiu about the close relationship between Wen Qing and Wen Xian before, she did not expect that Wen Qing would go to this extent for Wen Xian.
“No. Initially, I don’t understand, but I know that you have your own ideas.” Zong Jinghao’s voice was no longer hoarse and had resumed its usual calm tone.
Lin Xinyan turned around and buried her face in his chest. “Do you know that I like you? I want…” To help you take care of those whom you can’t care for personally.
Zong Jinghao suppressed his joy as he asked, “Are you confessing your love to me?”
“I guess so.”
He turned around, put his hands on her face and looked at her lovingly.
Lin Xinyan batted her eyelashes at him. “You haven’t settled the problem yet?”
He planted a kiss on her forehead before pulling her into his embrace. “I will settle the problem soon. You just rest well and don’t think about other matters. Don’t take others’ words to heart. Those are only my temporary plans. You must only trust me.”
Although she had no idea what he meant, she was convinced he was devising a plan.
“I trust you.”
Zong Jinghao was amused. To lighten the atmosphere and to distract her from worrying, he teased, “How can you trust me so much? Aren’t you worried that I will run away with another woman?”
Lin Xinyan pinched him on his waist. “I will break your legs if you dare to run away.”
It was rather painful so he winced in pain. “You shall support me if I’m maimed.”
“Mm, I will support you. I won’t let my kid grow up without a father.”
I will really support him even if he is paralyzed and can only lie on the bed. He’s the father of my kids. Only with him around will we have a complete family.
Zong Jinghao wrapped his hands around her. “I won’t run away. I’m content with having you in my life. We will sleep on the same bed when we are alive and in the same coffin when we are dead. I’m much older than you, so I will definitely die first. Don’t forget to remind the kids to put us in the same coffin in the future.”
Lin Xinyan glared at him. “Don’t talk nonsense. I will find another handsome old man after you die…”
Zong Jinghao retorted confidently, “You won’t find an old man more handsome than me.”
“I’m fine even if he’s slightly uglier.” Lin Xinyan compromised.
“I will drag that man down to hell if he dares to accept you,” said Zong Jinghao in a vicious tone.
It seemed like the distraction worked. None of them brought up that matter again. That night, Aunt Yu knocked on their door with their dinner in her hands. Zong Jinghao got up from the bed to answer the door. Aunt Yu asked smilingly, “I bet you are hungry?”
I’m a little hungry indeed. Lin Xinyan sat up and asked eagerly, “What are we having for dinner today?”
These days, she had a voracious appetite. Having stayed in the ward for so long, she was cut off from the outside world, and her daily activities consisted of eating and sleeping only.
Eyes twinkling, Aunt Yu placed her dinner on the table and said confidently, “I’m sure you will like it.” She had prepared the meals according to the doctor’s instructions. Since then, Lin Xinyan’s appetite and her nausea had improved tremendously.
This time, her meal consisted of cabbage, pumpkin with egg, stir-fried vegetables, fish soup and tofu. Each dish was placed on an exquisite plate.
Aunt Yu turned around to look at Zong Jinghao, “I hear that pregnant women will give birth to beautiful babies if they look at pretty stuff more often. Thus, I purposely buy these beautiful plates for her.” Even the cutlery, with beautiful hand-painted flowers on them, matched with the new plates.
Putting his hands on his waist, which emphasized the deep creases on his shirt, Zong Jinghao looked at Lin Xinyan, “Yes, we must take note of that. Otherwise, the baby will be darned ugly if we leave it to her.”
Aunt Yu chuckled at his joke.
