Stealing Your Heart Chapter 84

She stressed the words ‘looked exactly like you’.

“So, what are you trying to say?”

He squinted at her with a serious look on his face.

Aunt Yu didn’t notice that she was holding the photo tightly.

“You, do you have a love child out there…”

“Nope.” Zong Jinghao denied it even before Aunt Yu could finished her words.

He only slept with one woman in his life until today.

It’s totally impossible for any other woman to bear him a child.

A love child? Out of the question.

“So Aunt Yu, we won’t be having dinner tonight?” As he looked at the empty kitchen, the dining table looked like a mirror in which he could see his own reflection but nothing else.

Usually, Aunt Yu would be preparing dinner at this hour, or had finished preparing it. She didn’t seem so right today.

Eat?

Aunt Yu’s mouth twitched slightly as she said, “Are you still in the mood to eat?… Are you happy now that everyone gone?”

She put the photo back as she was speaking. She didn’t intend to merely touch on it but wanted to dig into the entire matter.

Zong Jinghao frowned and thought to himself. What’s wrong with her?

“Look at our home. Does it really look like a home? The house is huge, but is there anybody in here? What’s the point of being wealthy when there is only an old mother who knows how to do house chores and a thirty-year-old bachelor in this house?” Aunt Yu closed the drawer. She was furious and really thought about not preparing any food for him.

But she just couldn’t do it.

Soon, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Zong Jinghao glanced at Aunt Yu who was upset from behind and pulled out the drawer to get the photo. As he didn’t like to take photo, he could hardly recognize this photo too. In fact, he had actually forgotten about it if it wasn’t for Aunt Yu.

He held the photo and watched it closely. The eyes, the face…

Buzz…

The phone in his pocket rang. When an image of a face suddenly flashed through his mind and he wanted to compare it with the face in the photo, his thoughts were interrupted by his ringing phone.

He put down the photo, closed the drawer and picked up the phone. It was a call from Guan Jing about work.

As he was talking to Guan Jing over the phone, he unbuttoned his shirt and walked towards the bedroom.

At the Golden Harbor.

When Zhuang Zijin finished preparing dinner and wanted to tell Lin Xichen to come out and have dinner, Lin Xinyan stopped her and said, “Let him ponder over and admit to his mistakes, or else no dinner for him.”

“He’s just a kid. It’s good enough to frighten him, but we shouldn’t use no dinner as punishment.” Zhuang Zijin didn’t agree to it since he was growing up and shouldn’t skip any meal.

“No dinner if he doesn’t admit to his mistakes.” Lin Xinyan didn’t explain anything to her but was very determined about it.

She can overlook some of the things. But on this occasion, she mustn’t simply let it go.

He’s already watching the indecent contents even though he’s merely a kid. What kind of a man would he become when he grows up?

“Yan…” Zhuang Zijin still wished to persuade her.

However, Lin Xinyan was determined and couldn’t be moved at all. If she does not set the rules for him now, it would be even harder to discipline him in future.

Lin Ruixi carried Lin Ruixi and said, “Let’s go and have dinner now.”

Zhuang Zijin was standing still, as if pondering over Lin Xinyan’s words to figure out if there was any alternative.

Lin Xinyan looked back at Zhuang Zijin and said to her with the answer, “I’m serious now. Pleading for him would be a waste of time.”

Zhuang Zijin came up to her and asked gently, “What did Xi do that made you so angry?”

Zhuang Zijin didn’t believe at all that Lin Xichen would commit a huge mistake since the kid was smart and thoughtful.

She was rather surprised that Lin Xinyan would be so infuriated now.

Lin Xinyan was lost for words when she recalled the stuff that her son watched and the things that he did. After a while, she replied, “Mom, don’t ask about it anymore. Come and have dinner now.”

Lin Xinyan was sitting at the dining table and feeding her daughter while holding her in her arms.

Lin Xinyan apparently didn’t want to talk about it, and so Zhuang Zijin didn’t continue to ask her.
