Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 54

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 54

After Zong Jinghao left that day, he did not return for a week. Lin Xinyan slowly returned to a state of homeostasis.

She went to work as usual.

“I heard that Mr. Zong went to Country A to keep Miss Bai company.” During the lunch break, everyone gathered together to gossip.

“Mr. Zong has already acquiesced in the identity of Miss Bai as his girlfriend. It is normal for him to go and see her, but—” Looking in the small mirror, the woman fiddled with her long hair, looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled faintly with her red lips, thinking that the woman in the mirror was a stunner.

Everyone seemed to be used to her narcissism and thought nothing of her behavior.

It was just that her unfinished sentence aroused everyone’s curiosity, as they gathered around. “But what?”

The woman looked at everyone out of the corner of her eye. “If Mr. Zong really likes her, will he still ask her to go to Country A? With so many people in the company, why must he send her there?”

Everyone found it reasonable, but some disagreed.

“If, as you said, Mr. Zong doesn’t like Miss Bai, he hasn’t come to the company for a week in order to accompany her. How can you explain it? Everyone knows that this has never happened before.”

The two of them made sense. With differences in opinions came dispute. Therefore, there were some who said that Zong Jinghao loved Bai Zhuwei, while some who said that he did not love her, both sides sticking to their own stand.

“Hey, Miss Lin, do you think Mr. Zong love Miss Bai?” A colleague tugged at Lin Xinyan who was sitting in her seat quietly. “Why are you being anti-social?”

Lin Xinyan smiled bitterly in her heart. Isn’t it funny to discuss whether my ‘husband’ loves other woman or not?

The colleague shook Lin Xinyan, and said, “Why don’t you talk?”

Feeling helpless, Lin Xinyan expressed her thoughts, “I don’t know. I’ve just joined the company, so I’m not clear about their affairs. I think, he likes her. Why would he recognize her identity if he doesn’t like her?”

After a few seconds of silence, it seemed that what she said was reasonable too. If Zong Jinghao didn’t love Bai Zhuwei, why would he recognize her identity?

“See. I know Mr. Zong loves Miss Bai.”

They didn’t stop gossiping, so Lin Xinyan went to the pantry to avoid them. After the lunch break was over, and everyone had gone back to work, only then did Lin Xinyan go back to work.

Zong Jinghao still did not come back that day.

After listening to the gossip of colleagues in the company, Lin Xinyan just wanted to enjoy some tranquility. Unexpectedly, when she came back to the house, Aunt Yu also nagged.

“Why hasn’t young master come back after so long?”

Lin Xinyan felt headache and rubbed her forehead. So Aunt Yu thought she was unwell, and came up to ask, “Are you sick?”

Lin Xinyan shook her head. “No.”

“Then—”

“Umm—” Lin Xinyan suddenly smelled a fishy smell, frowned, and looked at Aunt Yu. “Did you buy fish?”

Aunt Yu nodded and pointed at the fresh produce on the table. “I just came back from the supermarket, and I will cook fish for you tonight—”

Before she could finish her words, Lin Xinyan had already covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom, retching.

Aunt Yu hurriedly followed, and stood by the door, looking at Lin Xinyan. “A-Are you pregnant?”

Although Lin Xinyan and Zong Jinghao had been sleeping separately, they slept in the same room the night they got married.

What if she gets pregnant from that one time?

Aunt Yu was a little excited. “Let’s go to the hospital.”

By having a child, any mistresses have to move over

Lin Xinyan shook her head. “It’s okay. M-My stomach is upset.”

“We need to go hospital too.” Aunt Yu was resolute. She only trusted the doctor.

“Aunt Yu.” Lin Xinyan struggled, but Aunt Yu didn’t let go. “It’s for your sake.”

“Hurry up and change your shoes.” Aunt Yu took Lin Xinyan toward the door.

Lin Xinyan didn’t dare to move too much. On the one hand, she was afraid of hurting Aunt Yu; on the other hand, she was afraid of hurting her baby in her belly.

Creaking!

Just as Lin Xinyan racked her brains to come up with an explanation for Aunt Yu, the door was pushed open.

Lin Xinyan and Aunt Yu looked at the door almost at the same time.

Zong Jinghao stepped inside with a suit on his arm, while the collar of his shirt was loosely open, revealing his delicate collarbones. There was green stubble on his chin, and dark circles under his eyes, making him look unrested and a little tired, which was different from his usual high-spirited manner.

He must have not rested well enough while going there to accompany and take care of Bai Zhuwei this time, Lin Xinyan thought secretly in her heart.

Seeing that it was Zong Jinghao, Aunt Yu was overjoyed. “Young Master, Young Mistress may be pregnant.”
