Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xichen was wearing a camel-colored sweetheart neckline sweater with a white shirt, a pair of slacks, and white sneakers. He had an erect bearing, beautiful facial features—rosy lips, white teeth, delicate cheeks, and a Roman nose—and black hair that was slightly curly, looking very handsome.

He touched his sister’s head. “Ruixi, did you listen to Mommy?”

Lin Ruixi nodded her head hard, with a great deal of respect for her elder brother. They were born only a few minutes apart, but Lin Xichen appeared relatively mature and sensible.

Whereas Lin Ruixi was innocent and cute like a girl next door.

Lin Xinyan had already put their dinner on the table. “Dinner’s ready. Wash your hands and come eat.”

He Ruize came over and reached out to pick Lin Ruixi up, but Lin Xinyan stopped him. “Ruize, you go eat. I’ll wash them.”

“I’ll help you.” He Ruize didn’t feel bitter toward Lin Xinyan because of the topic earlier.

“Dr. He, let Yan do it. You should have a seat first,” Zhuang Zijin came over and said politely.

He Ruize had no choice but to sit down at the dining table first, whereas Zhuang Zijin took a bottle of wine, walked to the dining table, and pulled out a chair to sit down.

She glanced at the bathroom and made sure that Lin Xinyan could not hear her before looking at He Ruize and saying, “I thank you for all these years on behalf of Yan.”

Then, she poured a glass of wine for He Ruize and herself. The wine didn’t burn the throat as much as the Chinese spirits did, and it was relatively mild. After drinking the wine in the glass, she said, “I hope she can be with you, but she is stubborn, and now she only focuses on her two children. Therefore, you should get married if you find someone suitable, as you are no longer young.”

“Auntie, I was hoping you can persuade her for me.” Glancing at the wine in front of him, He Ruize didn’t drink it.

Of course, Zhuang Zijin had already persuaded her.

She had always been satisfied with He Ruize. He took care of Lin Xinyan and took her away during her most difficult times.

It could be said that without He Ruize’s help, Lin Xinyan could not become who she was now.

She was grateful and satisfied with He Ruize.

But Lin Xinyan refused. What could she do?

Zhuang Zijin smiled bitterly. “I persuaded her, but she won’t listen.”

She also understood why her daughter was like this. After all, she had given birth to two children, whereas He Ruize came from a good family and had a good character. Even if he didn’t mind, her daughter might mind.

She knew how important a woman’s innocence was to her husband.

He Ruize picked up the glass of wine on the table, emptied it, and slammed it down on table. “I won’t give up.”
