Stealing Your Heart

Aunt Yu was wearing an apron and about to prepare breakfast when she realized that Lin Xinyan had already started preparing. She was also mumbling to herself.

“No— No, it’s nothing.” Lin Xinyan looked away. She did not dare to look into Aunt Yu’s eyes. “Where are the eggs?”

“In the fridge.” Aunt Yu pulled open the fridge to find that the eggs were not there. She then realized they were beside the sink. “Isn’t it under your hands?”

“Huh?” When Lin Xinyan turned to look at the eggs, she suddenly recalled that she had taken them out. She had wanted to change the topic, but she had done so while looking like a fool. She gave an awkward smile. “I forgot about it.”

Aunt Yu returned her smile. She seemed to know what she was trying to hide, but she did not mention anything.

She walked over. “Let me help you. Tell me what the children like to eat, and I’ll make it for them.”

“They’re not picky.” Lin Xinyan was cracking the eggs. She was preparing to make steam egg custard. She had once stayed here for a few days so she knew what Aunt Yu tended to cook and that her dishes were generally well-balanced in nutrition.

She did not need to do extra preparations.

“It’s good that they’re not picky.” Aunt Yu said.

Picky children tended to be malnutrition in some ways.

“Yes.” Lin Xinyan answered with a smile.

The two prepared breakfast together. Perhaps it was because they knew each other, they cooperated well.

When it was seven, the quiet villa came alive.

Lin Xichen’s face was not as swollen as before. It was likely that he had been too bored cooped up in the room. After Zhuang Zijin had changed his clothes and washed his face, he ran to look for his sister in the living room.

He had fallen into a deep sleep last night and did not know when mommy and Ruixi had left him alone in the room.

He woke up with absolute disappointment.

He had also felt upset. He was still injured, why did mommy not bring him along when she left?

There was a look of unhappiness on his face as he sat angrily on the living room couch.

In comparison with Lin Xichen’s unhappiness, Lin Ruixi was overjoyed.

This was the first time she had slept in her dad’s arm. She had been too excited to sleep through the night. It was only when the sun was about to rise that she fell asleep. She was still asleep now, her face sunken into the pillow. Only half of her face was visible, and she had saliva drooling out of her slack mouth.

Zong Jinghao sat at the bedside and looked at her. He frowned in disgust. “She’s drooling.”

The little girl had no idea that her actions were frowned upon.

She was smiling, as if she was having a sweet dream. She opened her mouth and mumbled sweetly, “Dad.”

Zong Jinghao’s expression froze. He reached out to squeeze her cheeks. Perhaps it was ticklish, the little girl turned her head and he kept his hand. If only you really were my daughter, he thought.

However, this did not seem like a good topic to think further on. He stood up and went into the bathroom. He had returned home too late last night, then he was disrupted by this little girl. He did not manage to shower before he slept, and now his clothes were sticking onto his skin.

Soon, there were sounds of water in the bathroom. Not long after, he came out with a towel around his waist.
