Stealing Your Heart

She held onto the handle, turned, and pushed open the door lightly. She saw Zhuang Zijin sitting at the edge of the bed, crying softly.

Lin Xinyan closed the door before she walked over. When she heard the sound, Zhuang Zijin hurriedly wiped her face. “Why are you here? You should be watching the kids outside.”

“I’m here to see you.” Lin Xinyan reached out to hug her. “Mom, let’s not think about the things from the past.”

She buried her face in Zhuang Zijin’s shoulder. “I’ll take care of you when you’re old. And when I’m old, Lin Xichen will take care of me…”

“What are you talking about?” Zhuang Zijin patted Lin Xinyan’s back. “You’re still young. Doctor He is quite a good man.”

Lin Xinyan ran her fingers through her hair. She was afraid of Zhuang Zijin saying words like this.

“Yan…”

“Mom.”

Lin Xinyan knew what Zhuang Zijin was about to say. She had wanted to accept He Ruize at the start, but now, it seemed quite unlikely.

If she was going to investigate about the accident, it was no longer possible to be with He Ruize.

“Mom, He Ruize’s mother once looked for me.”

“What?” Zhuang Zijin was surprised. She held her daughter’s shoulder and looked at her. “What was the reason that she had looked for you.”

Lin Xinyan pursed her lips. She wanted her to give up on this idea, so she said honestly, “It was six years. She saw He Ruize and I together, and she thought we were in love. She came to look for me and told me that I wasn’t suitable for him. Only someone with a similar background as his was suitable for him.”

Zhuang Zijin opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Finally, her tears fell.

“Mom, why are you crying again?” Lin Xinyan reached out to wipe her tears away.

It took her a lot to divert her attention away.

Why did she started crying again?

“How can I not feel upset?” She felt upset when she thought about her daughter being framed in the past. “If it wasn’t for me that time—”

“Mom, let’s not talk about the past anymore, alright?” Lin Xinyan knew what she was worried about. She explained to her patiently, “I don’t love He Ruize. Even if I were to be with him, I won’t be happy, mom.”

Lin Xinyan held her hand. “You want me to happy, right?”

“Of course.” Even in her dreams, Zhuang Zijin wanted her daughter to be happy.
