Stealing Your Heart Chapter 575

Zong Jinghao stiffened before he turned around. “Why are you upstairs?”

“Why can’t I be upstairs?” She leaned forward to look at the basin. Why does it seem like he’s scared of me looking at it? Zong Jinghao moved to block her vision again. “We have a guest today. Shouldn’t you be keeping her company?”

“That’s what your daughter is doing.” Lin Xinyan raised her head to look at him. The more he tried to hide it from her, the more she wanted to look. “Why are you acting like you have something to hide?”

Zong Jinghao cleared his throat. “What’s there for me to hide?”

“If you’re not hiding something, then move aside.” Lin Xinyan pushed him aside to see the undergarments she bought today soaking in the basin.

Zong Jinghao was silent.

It was a few seconds of awkward tension.

Abruptly, Lin Xinyan laughed.

With a grave expression, Zong Jinghao asked, “What are you laughing at?”

Lin Xinyan just kept laughing as she held onto the doorframe.

Oh my. He’s just too cute.

Zong Jinghao pursed his lips in silence.

“Get out!” Even his brows were furrowed now.

Lin Xinyan tucked away the smile, but she was still partially giggling as she said, “I’ll stop it.”

Not wanting to bother with her anymore, Zong Jinghao turned to continue washing.

It should have been a romantic situation with his hands holding a piece of women’s lingerie. However, there were no traces of it. Lin Xinyan was only surprised that he was washing her undergarment.

Warmth trickled into her heart.

She wrapped her arms around his thin waist from behind and put her forehead against his back. Zong Jinghao stiffened, but he was quick to return to normal. Turning to glance at her, he said, “Can you wear this and show me tomorrow?”

Tightening her hold around his waist, Lin Xinyan hummed a quiet “yes” as her reply.

It was a reply that Zong Jinghao smiled at.

My efforts haven’t gone to waste.

“Honey,” Lin Xinyan shyly called out.

Zong Jinghao paused in his actions. He asked, “What did you call me?”

Am I hallucinating?

Instead of answering, Lin Xinyan pressed her lips onto his back. He could feel her soft lips through the thin fabric. His throat tightened, and he tensed. What’s with her today?

Why is she suddenly so enthusiastic?

Lin Xinyan murmured, “Do you use social media?”

Her words baffled him.

What does she mean?

“Huh?”

“The common kinds of social media platforms, like WeChat, Momo, and Weibo.” As she spoke, her hands kept rubbing against his waist.

Zong Jinghao lowered his head to look at her hands. He sensed something amiss about her words. That’s a weird question to ask.

What happened?

He furrowed his brows, worried that someone was ruining the rare peaceful moments they had.

“Don’t you have me on your WeChat friend list? I never post anything. What’s Momo though? I have an official account for Weibo but not a personal one. What’s wrong?”

He turned around but did not touch her; his hands were wet. Carefully, he said, “I swear I won’t mess around when I’m outside. What happened? Would you tell me what’s going on? You’re making me nervous.”

It was as though she was testing the waters with him.

It made him feel anxious.

Looking at his cautious expression, Lin Xinyan realized he must have misunderstood her. She reached out to hook her arms around his neck and laughed, “Why are you so afraid?”

“I’m not afraid that you’ve misunderstood me…”
