Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 988

Shen Xinyao turned around and looked at him. “Why?”

Zhuang Jiawen continued to pull her back without saying a word. It looked like he was just being a baby.

Shen Xinyao bent down and shook his hand off. “Stop fooling around.”

“Stay with me a while longer.” Zhuang Jiawen lifted his gaze to look at her. Worried that she would refuse him, he even gave her sleeve a child-like tug.

Despite finding it amusing, Shen Xinyao had no choice but to agree. “Fine.”

She put down her pillow and lay on the bed. Hugging her, Zhuang Jiawen told her stories from his childhood. Before he knew it, he had already fallen asleep.

By the time Zhuang Jiawen awoke, he was alone in the room. Shen Xinyao had left sometime in the night.

After washing up, he went downstairs and saw that everyone was already up.

Zong Yanxi and Shen Xinyao were in the kitchen preparing breakfast while Su Zhan was watering the plants on the balcony.

“Where’s everyone? Where did they go?” Zhuang Jiawen asked as he descended the steps.

Su Zhan turned around and glanced at him. “They’re already up. Both your fiancée and sister are in the kitchen.”

“I meant Mom and Dad.”

“Your Mom and Qin Ya went out for a walk. They probably have something to talk about. As for your Dad, he went out early in the morning. But I’m not sure what for.” Su Zhan put down his watering can and came over. “When are you going pick up your parents-in-law?”

Zhuang Jiawen poured a glass of water before slumping on the sofa with his legs crossed. “It’s still early. They told me over the phone that I don’t have to. Instead, they will travel here by themselves. They mentioned that it’s too troublesome for me to do so.”

Su Zhan sat on the sofa and looked at him. “Your parents-in-law are really considerate.”

Just as he spoke, he let out a sigh. “It would be good if your brother could make it back.”

“I’ve already called Uncle but he said that he couldn’t get in contact with brother and is still trying.”

Wen Xiaoji and Lin Xinyan were cousins. Hence, Zhuang Jiawen addressed him as Uncle as they were close.

“Sigh, your parents have plenty to worry about with regards to the three of you,” Su Zhan remarked.

Zong Yanxi had just gone through a traumatic incident while Zong Yanchen was in the special forces, which was dangerous by nature.

To pray for her children’s safety, Lin Xinyan built an altar in their home in Thailand so that she could pray often.

Regardless of whether her prayers would come true, she found some solace in doing so.

“Uncle Su, what did you just say?” Zong Yanxi asked as she walked out.

Her eyes were still red and it was obvious that it was from crying last night. However, no one mentioned it as everyone knew full well what had happened.
