Stealing Your Heart Chapter 696

Lin Xinyan nodded.

Zong Jinghao’s frown deepened. He asked, “What is she doing here?”

“She found out that Su Zhan’s not around. I thought she’s here to pay a visit, to tell me that she’s worried about Peichuan, but I don’t think she’s here purely for him,” Lin Xinyan said in frustration.

She was worried that Shen Peichuan and Song Yaxin would have conflicts if they were to get together in the future.

Zong Jinghao said, “Don’t worry.”

They did not have much rest when Shen Peichuan went missing for a few days. And with Zong Yanxi suffering from the trauma, Lin Xinyan had become doubly worn out. Zong Jinghao did not want her to worry about the affairs of others.

“Peichuan is an adult, so he should be able to handle it. There’s no need for us to interfere,” Zong Jinghao said dully. However, he had secretly investigated her.

“By the way, why didn’t Su Zhan want Peichuan to be back? What is he trying to do? And where is Peichuan right now? Is he hurt?” He thought back to the time when Su Zhan deliberately hid the truth about the Song family. Back then, Su Zhan did not provide an explanation so Zong Jinghao did not question further. He still had no clue what Su Zhan was up to, and he was curious.

At that time, Zong Jinghao had no idea. But today, Su Zhan sent him a text message to inform him about Shen Peichuan’s current situation and his ties with Sang Yu. Su Zhan specifically told Zong Jinghao not to tell Song Yaxin that Shen Peichuan was alright. He also explained that Shen Peichuan himself knew about this.

“I’ll tell you tonight.”

After all, now was not the time to discuss this topic, as Song Yaxin was downstairs.

Lin Xinyan nodded and did not question further. Together, they went back downstairs. Song Yaxin, who was seated at the dining table, quickly got up from her chair. She said, “I’m sorry for taking your time today.”

Lin Xinyan smiled and said, “Not at all. Have a seat, please.”

Zong Jinghao carried his daughter in his arms and sat at the head of the table. Lin Xinyan took her seat next to him.

She smiled at Song Yaxin and said, “Make yourself at home.”

Song Yaxin smiled and sat back down. She looked at Zong Jinghao and asked, “Should Ruixi see a psychologist?”

Zong Jinghao did not answer.

Lin Xinyan quickly broke the silence by saying, “She did, and she just needs some time to recover from the trauma. Ms. Song, would you like to have a glass of red wine?”

Song Yaxin smiled and said, “No, thank you.”

“Oh, my bad. How can we eat and drink in peace when we don’t even know Peichuan’s whereabouts?” Lin Xinyan turned and asked Aunt Yu, “Is the herbal soup ready?”

Aunt Yu replied, “It’ll be ready soon.”

Lin Xinyan nodded, “Please serve Ms. Song a bowl of soup later on. I’m sure she hasn’t had enough rest these few days.”

Aunt Yu glanced at Song Yaxin, studying her face. She didn’t look like she had not been sleeping well. Feeling a little annoyed, Aunt Yu mumbled a response, turned around, and went back into the kitchen.

Song Yaxin realized that she might have been too enthusiastic and seemed less concerned about Shen Peichuan. Did Lin Xinyan purposely make that statement to test me?

Her heart skipped a beat.

Aunt Yu had amazing cooking skills. The dishes she served were mouth-watering and smelled delicious.

But Song Yaxin lost her appetite.
