Stealing Your Heart

It was not a large house, but the decoration was homely. There was a rectangle table in the dining room where a family of four were seated.

The atmosphere at the table was suffocating as Zhuang Zijin did not agree with Lin Xinyan’s return. If she were to return, she had to marry He Ruize.

Only naive little Lin Ruixi knew nothing about anything. She sat on Lin Xinyan’s lap and wanted her mother to feed her.

“Mommy, I want egg custard.” Lin Ruixi said, pointing her little finger at the smooth egg custard.

Lin Xinyan scooped it with a spoon and fed it into her mouth.

Like a frustrated adult, Lin Xichen looked at his naive sister and sighed.

Lin Xinyan picked some vegetables for him. “No frowning for kids.”

Lin Xichen sighed again.

Why did this boy sigh even more after telling him not to?

“Lin Xichen, please behave.” Although her words were reprimanding, she did not have a serious look. She could not bear to scold him or reprimand him harshly.

“You still have the mood for food?” Lin Xichen retorted.

“What are you going to do about your work if you don’t convince grandma?” Lin Xichen was worrying more than Lin Xiyan.

“Children should not be worrying about adult matters. Eat and study well. That’s what you should be doing.” Zhuang Zijin poured a bowl of soup. “Eat your food. Don’t butt into adult matters.”

Lin Xichen did not agree with her words. “I’m part of this family; I have the right to talk. Grandma, mommy, let’s raise hands to vote.”

“Who do you think this boy had been learning all these talks from?” Zhuang Zijin did not know whether to cry or laugh.

He had lots of ideas in his little head.

“Raise your hand to vote.” Lin Xichen repeated determinedly.

“You really want to go back?” Lin Xinyan realized that her son seemed to be insisting on going back.

She thought her children had gotten used to the routine here and would not want to change places. Lin Xichen’s attitude surprised her.

“Mommy’s hometown is also my hometown. I just want to see how mommy’s hometown looks like.” Lin Xichen said with a serious face.

Although Lin Xinyan wanted to say yes, she had thought about what Zhuang Zijin would feel. Therefore, she did not.

Lin Xinyan wanted to be respectful to Zhuang Zijin. Zhuang Zijin still had the final say for this
