Stealing Your Heart Chapter 43

Lin Xinyan hesitated for a moment before walking up to him.

Lin Xinyan had never looked at him at such a close proximity without any distracting thoughts before. He was covered in a scent of maturity that built up over the years, which was flamboyant, intense, and magnanimous.

At this moment, there was only peace on his face, and no waves could be stirred up.

Such a calm look made her feel flustered instead.

Perhaps she knew that he might be the father of her child, so she subconsciously cared about his opinion of her.

Women were always so emotional.

Moreover, she was pregnant now, so she was particularly sensitive.

“He helps me a lot. I didn’t know that he wanted me to be his plus-one at such an occasion, and I didn’t even know that you were there. I didn’t do it on purpose.”

He frowned with a complicated expression on his face; so complicated that no one could see through.

Lin Xinyan thought that he didn’t believe her, and that he thought of her as a flirty woman, which she was not!

“I…”

“Are you explaining?” His Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat.

“I don’t want you to misunderstand me.” If it were before, she didn’t care what Zong Jinghao thought of her, but it wasn’t the case now.

If it was really him that night, they would have a child together, so they needed to leave a good impression on each other.

“You are so sincere, making me unable to hate nor choke you. I really don’t know what to do with you.” Seeing her appear with He Ruize, he was really mad.

He was so mad that he wished he could strangle her to death, as she always didn’t take his words seriously.

“Let’s go in.” He stood up straight and walked towards the courtyard, whereas Lin Xinyan followed behind.

Aunt Yu had gone to bed, so the spacious living room was empty and quiet.

He was unbuttoning his suit while saying, “I’m hungry.”

Lin Xinyan took the coat from him. “It’s so late now. I’ll make you some noodles.”

He replied drily in acknowledgment and walked over to sit down on the sofa. Leaning back in a relaxed posture, he closed his eyes, while his slender fingers undid the collar button, and pulled off the tie.

Lin Xinyan hung his coat on the hanger and went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

She found vegetables and tomatoes from the refrigerator, and before long, she made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, as well as noodles in clear soup.

In the living room, Zong Jinghao was looking at the slender woman moving around in the kitchen, and suddenly felt like home.

Lin Xinyan put the food on the table. “There you go.”

She then went to pour two glasses of water, and one was placed in front of Zong Jinghao, before she pulled the chair out and sat down across from him. His collar was slightly open, revealing his sexy collarbones, while his cuffs were rolled up to reveal his strong arms. Undeniably, he was favored by the Creator as a man.

Even his movement of holding chopsticks was very pleasing to the eye.

Lowering his head, he brought the noodles to his mouth, then frowned slightly because there was no taste.

Lin Xinyan couldn’t help but smile, as she picked up a spoon next to him and scooped two spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes onto the noodles. “Tomato and egg noodles will only be delicious when you eat them like this.”

Zong Jinghao looked up and saw Lin Xinyan’s smiling face.

As far as he could remember, he had never seen such an unobstructed smile on her face, looking so bright like blooming magnolia—so clear and pure.

He was actually fascinated by it.

Looking up, Lin Xinyan saw the entranced man, and cautiously asked, “Is it not tasty?”

Regaining his composure, Zong Jinghao coughed lightly, and stuffed a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, muttering, “It’s tasty.”

Lin Xinyan took two sips of water and looked out the window with her face propping on her hand.

“Aren’t you going to sleep?” Zong Jinghao glanced at her.

“After you finish eating, I will do the dishes before going to bed. Aunt Yu will still need to clean up in the morning if it’s left here.” She rested her chin on her hand.
