Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 877

“That way she’ll have a brother to protect her,” Sang Yu added.

Lin Xinyan said to her, “If you have a daughter and she marries my son, he can protect her for the rest of her life.

Sang Yu smiled because she was looking forward to it.

What if that actually happens? It’ll be such a nice coincidence!

When Zong Jinghao came up, Sang Yu left.

He took a look at the baby who was fast asleep in Lin Xinyan’s arms.

Zong Jinghao stretched out his hands and said, “Let me carry him.”

Lin Xinyan looked up and saw his tired countenance, so she whispered, “Go and take a rest first. He can accompany you.”

“I’m not tired.” He took the baby into his arms and the baby continued to sleep in his embrace.

Lin Xinyan stepped out of the room to give them some space.

Downstairs, Zhuang Zijin and Cheng Yuwen were about to head out to pick up their two kids.

“Put on more clothes. It’s getting chilly out there.” Zhuang Zijin passed Cheng Yuwen a jacket.

Cheng Yuwen replied, “It’s not chilly in the car.”

“Just wear it. You’re not young anymore, so you shouldn’t take the risk.” Zhuang Zijin put the jacket on him and Cheng Yuwen didn’t protest anymore. After putting on the jacket, Zhuang Zijin straightened his collar and made sure everything was in order before saying, “Let’s go.”

Cheng Yuwen nodded and let her go ahead first while he closed the door behind them.

Meanwhile, Lin Xinyan was in a daze when she watched the scene unfold from the staircase. Ever since Zhuang Zijin and Lin Guoan’s divorce, she had never seen Zhuang Zijin acting so intimately to a man.

Shortly after they left, the doorbell rang. She went downstairs to open the door and saw a delivery guy. “Hi. Is there a Ms. Lin Xinyan here?”

Lin Xinyan replied, “That’s me.”

“This package is for you. Please sign here.” The delivery guy passed a box to her.

She signed and received the box. She then closed the door and inspected its contents. There was an exquisite piece of jade carved into a pendant inside. I wonder who is this from?

Just as she was about to put back the pendant, she saw a card inside the box, so she took a read.

“I originally planned to give it to your son personally, but I didn’t want to trouble you because your husband was too petty. I could only send it via delivery. I heard about what happened to Zong Qifeng and I’m very sorry. My deepest condolences to you. I think he would wish that you would spend your days in smiles rather than tears, and I think he would pray for all our happiness! —Bai Yinning”

Lin Xinyan closed the card and put it back into the box. She then took out the jade pendant and put the box into a drawer.

She graciously accepted his kind act.

When she opened the bedroom door upstairs, she saw Zong Jinghao lying sideways on the bed with the baby in his arms. They were both sleeping soundly.

She took out a blanket from the cabinet and gently covered them with it. After that, she took out the jade pendant and wrapped it around the baby’s neck. The baby moved his pink and supple lips while he remained fast asleep.

She cast her son a loving look as she gently stroked his face. When she turned to look at Zong Jinghao, she felt her heart ache.

He didn’t sleep much these days, so he’s skinnier now.

She interlocked her fingers with him and planted a kiss on his forehead. “I feel so sorry that you have a lot of regrets in your life. I’ll stay by your side for the rest of our lives.”

The man who was seemingly fast asleep, twitched his eyebrows suddenly, but Lin Xinyan didn’t notice it since it happened in a flash.

Time seemed to fly. It was already New Year’s Day in a flash.

Life was peaceful then. The baby could already make some sounds and Sang Yu’s stomach was clearly bloated as well. She took a leave from her studies for one year to focus on taking care of her health.

Su Zhan and Qin Ya were also living a happy life in C City. Even though they didn’t have kids, their careers were successful and their days were well spent.

Besides that, Cheng Yuwen and Zhuang Zijin decided to live together.

Lin Xinyan was the one who suggested it. She could tell that Zhuang Zijin and Cheng Yuwen took good care of each other and were each other’s emotional support. At their age, love wasn’t present anymore, but she still felt that they should have a partner to spend the rest of their lives together.

Lin Xinyan thought that time was precious, so the most important thing was to live a happy life regardless of what others might think.

They didn’t register their marriage or hold a wedding ceremony. Instead, they only invited everyone for a dinner during New Year’s Day.

During the meal, Sang Yu said, “Xinyan, I’m having a girl.”

“Huh?” Qin Ya smiled and looked at her. “Are you really arranging your daughter’s marriage before she’s even born?”

After all, Lin Xinyan had two sons.

Zong Yanchen was older, but the baby was only one year older than her daughter.

Sang Yu ate a piece of tofu and smiled. “So what? Judging by the parents’ good looks, their son will definitely be a handsome one too. I need to call dibs on him first before everyone else does.”

“Tsk.” Su Zhan mocked, “She’s already thinking about that even before her daughter is born.” He took a look at Shen Peichuan and said, “She thinks even more than you.”
