Stealing Your Heart Chapter 63

Lin Xichen lowered his head and said nothing.

Lin Xinyan frowned. “Say something.”

Lin Xichen picked his finger. “He bullied Mommy, so I will teach him a lesson for Mommy.”

Lin Xinyan’s brows furrowed deeper. He had been emphasizing one thing before—Zong Jinghao bullied her.

He—

Suddenly Lin Xinyan’s eyes widened. Did he see Zong Jinghao forcibly kissed me?

“Xichen…”

Lin Xinyan didn’t know how to explain.

Lin Xichen firmly patted his chest and said, “Mommy, although Ruixi and I don’t have a father, I am a man and I will protect you.”

Her son’s words ‘I don’t have a father’ suddenly hit home. It was something that Lin Xinyan had deliberately ignored deep down.

She would not mention this matter.

She thought that as long as she loved them very much, it could make up for the fact that they didn’t have a father.

However, it was brought up by her son so abruptly, causing her to feel an ache in her heart.

She held her son, bowed her head, and kissed his hair. Although he was very smart, he was only five years old, and was just a child.

Yet, he kept saying that he wanted to protect her.

She rubbed her palm against her son’s back. “I should be the one to protect you—”

Lin Xichen disagreed and shook his head. “A man should protect a woman. I am a man. I protect you.”

Lin Xinyan looked at her son speechlessly. He’s still so young, why is he such a machismo?

“Who taught you this?” Lin Xinyan asked with a frown.

Lin Xichen blinked his eyes and thought for two seconds. “My teacher.”

Lin Xinyan then brought him to take a bath but wondered in her heart if she needed to talk to his teacher.

Is it appropriate to tell such a small child this thing?

“Mommy, my teacher is actually quite handsome and treats me well—”

“Stop it!” Lin Xinyan interrupted him. How could the thoughts of this small kid be so complicated?

Lin Xichen mumbled, “You don’t think for yourself, so I have to think for you.”

Speechless, Lin Xinyan threw him into the water. “You will not be allowed to meddle with adults’ affairs in the future.”

“Why can’t I?” Lin Xichen asked.

“There is no why. This is my decision. Your teacher should have said that you should listen to your mother, right?”

Lin Xichen lowered his head and nodded. The teacher did say that children should listen to adults.

He also said that Mommy had worked hard to raise him and his sister, so he shouldn’t make mommy angry.

If he had a father, maybe Mommy wouldn’t be so tired.

Mommy never mentioned this, and he didn’t dare to ask either.

Grandma didn’t allow him to ask as well.

He thought that his father must be an irresponsible man for abandoning Mommy.

Lin Xichen reached out and hugged Lin Xinyan. “Mommy, I love you.”

Lin Xinyan felt warmth rushing through her heart, like a hot spring, slowly enveloping her.

It’s all worth it. She was contented seeing that her two children were so cute and sensible.

She kissed her son’s cheek. “I love you too.”

Although the children spent their time during the day with Zhuang Zijin, Lin Xinyan put them to bed at night.

She was always the one that tucked them in since they were born.

She was busy during the day and didn’t have much time for her kids, so nighttime was the time when she got close with them.

Telling them stories when the children were nestling in her arms was her happiest moment.

Most of the connections between children and mother were probably similar to that too.

Lin Xinyan went to work, but Lin Xichen insisted to follow, saying that it was to protect her, and looking like he wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Lin Xinyan couldn’t refuse.

“What danger will I face at work?” Lin Xinyan was speechless.

She was an adult, and yet she needed to be protected by a child.

“I don’t care.” Lin Xichen was resolute, and almost blurted out, what if that bastard, Zong Jinghao, comes to bully you again?

He was still young, and yet he was overly concerned.
