Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 450

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 450

Zong Jinghao felt that the only way to calm the wild emotions in his heart was by hugging her warm body.

He rubbed his face against the soft and thin fabric of her dress. He could feel the warmth of his wife’s skin, and the heartbeat of the baby in her womb. At that moment, he knew that he wasn’t just hugging one person, but instead, he had two people in his arms.

One of them was the woman he loved the most, and the other was his flesh and blood.

He wondered whether his life was terrible.

His identity was kept a secret, and his biological mother was right in front of him. Yet, he hated her for over two decades.

Twenty years was a long time, and in all that time, he thought she was the woman who destroyed his parents’ marriage.

However, Zong Jinghao also had a happy life. He was with the woman he loved and had twins with her. He had the ordinary family he craved.

His home had everything he ever wanted. His wife, his kids…

Lin Xinyan kept stroking his hair as she asked, “What’s wrong? You can tell me. Let me share this burden with you. We’re a married couple, after all.”

“I feel terrible. Did it hurt a lot when you give birth to the twins?” asked Zong Jinghao with his eyes closed, his face still buried in her tummy.

It had hurt badly. The contraction came in waves and each wave was worse than the previous one. Even after all those years, Lin Xinyan could still remember the excruciating pain she had to endure.

However, that was all in the past.

“You’re upset because of that? Then why not just be nicer to me in the future?” said Lin Xinyan as she lifted his chin. She had her head down and was staring at him with the help of the dim light.

“Don’t I already treat you extremely well? I almost sacrificed my life for you,” reminded Zong Jinghao as his hand slid downwards.

Lin Xinyan frowned and slapped his hand away.

Zong Jinghao chuckled at that before instructing, “Go have dinner. I need to go run some errands.”

“Aren’t you going to eat something?” asked Lin Xinyan.

“I’ll eat out tonight,” replied Zong Jinghao.

Lin Xinyan sensed that Zong Jinghao was still hiding some things from her, so she stood there. Zong Jinghao stood up when he noticed that she was standing still. He offered, “Do you need me to carry you down the stairs?”

“No, it’s fine. Okay, I’ll go have dinner now,” replied Lin Xinyan. Cheng Yuxiu and her kids were still waiting for her in the dining room, and they would worry if she stayed for too long.

Zong Jinghao pinched her nose before saying, “Go on then.”

Lin Xinyan walked down slowly while Zong Jinghao sat on his own for a while. He stayed there until it was almost eight o’clock. After that, he got up to change his clothes. As he undressed, he heard the piano playing the tunes of Marriage D’Amour.

That was the first time he heard Lin Xinyan playing the piano, and he was mesmerized by it.

The beautiful tune danced in the air and stirred every heart and soul it touched. It was as if the melody was showing them their most serene and most beautiful moments in their life…

Zong Jinghao had a black suit on when he walked down the stairs. He saw his kids sitting on either side of Lin Xinyan while listening to her play. He wasn’t sure if they could understand the complex emotions expressed by the melody, but he could tell that they were definitely mesmerized.

Their tiny heads danced to the tunes, and they were so engrossed that they never noticed the man standing by the stairs.

Cheng Yuxiu sat on the sofa with her tears blurring her vision.

She knew that song well because she heard Wen Xian played it before.

When Cheng Yuxiu watched Lin Xinyan sitting there, she felt like she had traveled back in time to all those years ago…

Lin Xinyan’s fingers stopped dancing on the piano keys after she finished playing one song. It seemed that she was in the zone as well, and the kids’ and Cheng Yuxiu’s applause brought her back.

“It’s been so long since I last played, and I am all out of practice.”

Cheng Yuxiu wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes and complimented with a smile, “You played beautifully, and I was completely engrossed.”

“Yeah, it’s lovely. Mommy’s amazing!” added Lin Ruixi as she dashed into Lin Xinyan’s arms.
